  The horse-faced ancient city wall
  In ancient China, in order to strengthen the defense capacity of gates, and many cities with two or more gates, a "Urn", the walls at regular intervals to highlight the rectangle from the pier to facilitate the defender struck the enemy attacks from the side This pier is called enemy units, or "horse-faced."
  Horse face (or enemy units, pier, wall units). There are two flat rectangular and semi-circular, such as a horse because of the appearance of long, narrow face and name. The use of horses face each other in order to function with the wall, eliminating the city under the corners, top-down attack the enemy from three sides. Its general width of 12 to 20 meters, the outer surface of the wall protruding from 8 to 12 meters, the distance of 20 ~ 250 meters (generally 70 meters). Consistent with stereotypes Song "recorded defenders defenders confidential" in the record: "horse-faced, the old system established a sixty-step, out of the city, not diminished nijo, narrow width with location uncertainty, both sides of the direct gaze corner of the city, on which Jieyou sub-floor. "era of cold weapons used, this distance is just a stone's throw in the bow and arrow within the effective range.
  The name of the horse-faced, first seen in "Mo" in the "Preparation Ladder" and "Preparation of high temporary" two, one called "line of the city" or "horse-faced." That at least in the Warring States period, it has been used for city defense. Archaeological data from the current point of view, the first horse to build the wall under the surface of the swallow all of the palace area, after a Hanwei Luo Yang Jin Yong north wall of the "Pier", but was only widely used until the Northern Song Dynasty. Oldest horse-faced kind, found in the summer and the county of Gansu border town north of the Han Dynasty octagonal city. It's the inner city face five remaining horses, southwest and northwest of the two, the South East one. 12.2 ~ 38.5 meters wide horse, long 6.7 ~ 11.7 m, a non-symmetric, is _set_ according to need.
  Central China has been found the earliest example is the horse-faced North Weiluo Yangcheng, in its north wall of the west side of the door widely found Mo a horse face, big body was flat square, protruding outside the wall 11.7 meters (approximately equivalent to the city thick two-thirds), the front width of about 13 meters. Also in the west wall next door bearing the northern tip of the North, also found the remnants of the horse face. Physical legacy in the future and the archaeological excavations, we can see outside the city of Bianjing Song, Yuan, etc. on both the city, were built in the outer surface of a horse.
  In order to enhance the defense and the war horse face capacity in Malaysia are generally built above the surface of watch tower, said that stereotypes of "sub-floor on which Jieyou", both stationed themselves, and Outlook, but also the storage of weapons, so that the wall the development of defensive performance to the highest point. Xi'an city wall on top of each block of horse-faced, were built in the early Ming Xieshan eaves of a two-story watch tower, unmanning defense. It can be used both during the war convex and the characteristics of tall buildings, watching the enemy, observing the enemy and prevent the enemy city under siege roundabout. They can watch tower from the front and side with two floor cross-fire between the three areas, attacks on the enemy, at any time point line connected to an altitude of close knit network of fire, is the defensive walls of an important part of the project.
  The emergence of horse face is mainly cold weapons the military needs to reflect on the walls formed, it provides the most economical and reasonable way to the possibility of using force and weapons. From the Ming Dynasty, with the invasion of colonists from the sea, coastal fortification to flourish, this coastal fortification system to the development of Qing Dynasty with the artillery fort evolved into a fortress. Walls gradually lost its former role, and gradually fade out of the defense system, increasingly been destroyed. Now the country is still relatively intact ancient city wall have been few.
