Stop for the night? Better build some walls.
It bothers me that it doesn't say "build a fucking wall over the river"
What is a bridge if not a slotted wall over water?
Note: slot size may vary
Indeed. Seeing as aqeducts are bridges made for water to cross land, and it is called a wall here. A bridge letting "land" cross over water is also a wall.
For some reason, this reminds me of that Historian that reviews movies and stuff and talks about how everyone should dig ditches to fight off the enemy. Every movie where they need to defend. Dig ditches.
Hard to argue with results, and most military approaches that survived did because the people using them did.
More to the point, uneven terrain is an obstacle, and digging ditches to build a berm is a logistically cheap and technologically uncomplicated way to produce it.
This strategy worked for the bastards until the 1400s. The Ottomans got gunpowder and then the Roman Empire was no more.
They're flexing on the barbarians by hauling stone blocks while wearing their armor.
