The battlefield road is 4 meters deep from the ground, with a blue brick structure, laid in a straight line, staggered up and down, and the top is laid with vertical bricks. This method of laying is consistent with the construction methods of the Song and Liao dynasties. The ancient battlefield road is 2 meters long, 3 people can stand side by side, and it is about 2.3 meters high. The ground is paved with blue bricks below, with water troughs and water tanks on the sides, table lamps on the walls, and vents on the top. There is a deep well in the tunnel, and there are about 2-meter-wide storage rooms on both sides of the tunnel. Some storage rooms have earth pits on top. The ancient battlefield road is connected in all directions underground in the ancient town, winding and twisting, leading to the four gate towers and the Ren family tomb in Pianshang Village. The initial exploration is about 1,500 meters, and more than 400 meters have been discovered and restored. Zhangfang Ancient Battle Road is a national A-level scenic spot and a cultural relic protection unit in Beijing. Located in Zhangfang Town, Fangshan District, Beijing, about 75 kilometers away from downtown Beijing, it is a cultural relic built during the Song and Liao dynasties and has been well preserved to this day. As early as the Western Jin Dynasty, the generals Liu Kun and Zu Di stationed a large number of troops here to resist the invasion of Shi Le, a northern Hu people. At that time, there were many tents, stretching for miles, so the local people named it Zhangfang, and later removed the homophony and named it Zhangfang. The hole at the bottom of the town tower in Zhangfang Ancient Town leads to the underground battle passage.
