In the past, the Situ Family's influence had already expanded beyond Snow Sea Pass, even building cities on the snowy plain. Consequently, no one paid much attention to the defense of the south side. Now, it was essential that they cleared it out as much as possible.
One regrettable fact was that Liang Cheng had personally inspected the armory inside Snow Sea Pass. It should have been stocked with a vast amount of weaponry, but after the wild people breached the pass, all those resources had apparently been looted. Not a speck was left.
Xue Three led a group to construct some defensive equipment for the city: simple watchtowers, swinging beams, wooden shields, barricades, and so on.
They didn't have time for extensive fortifications outside the city. Even with optimal designs, there wouldn't be enough time to execute them. Still, Liang Cheng ordered the construction of an earthen wall in front of the South Gate.
