Chapter 178 – Battle of Liyang - Part 8
October 13th.
East of the "New River."
During the past three days, Tong and his entire army constructed this 10-kilometers-long wall using the Minecraft-soil-blocks to stack on each other in a bricked-wall formation. The wall was three meters in height and 4 meters thick. The top of the wall was wide enough to station the archers for the siege warfare.
Unlike the unfinished river, the mud wall that Tong built covered from the southern original Yellow River to the edge of Taihang Mountain Range. It was similar to the Historical Gates and Passes that was created with bricks and stones, but with a weaker foundation of mud and soil.
But this wall had a disadvantage, there was neither gate nor passage that could cross. It was made for the sole purpose of delaying the Imperial Army movements.
