On the streets of Zhuque Dacheng, there were silhouettes, and several fast horses jumped over the bluestone road and headed straight to the head of the North City.
After repeated neighing, the horse's front hooves were raised and it stopped suddenly. However, the horse's people quickly turned over and got off the horse with the help of their habits, and then quickly climbed up the tall city wall along the stone stairs behind the city wall.
"Imperial Envoy" Above the city, a general wearing armor saw the group of people on the city, and quickly clasped his fists and bowed.
The bright moon in the north city whispered, but quickly walked to the battlement of the city wall and looked far away. Although the Zhuque Plain is a plain with a flat mountain, as the political and economic center of Chuzhou, the Zhuque City is surrounded by three miles and one town and five miles.
Standing above the city, the surrounding towns are arranged like satellites on the periphery. In addition to being the outer city of Zhuque City, these satellite towns are also the outer fortresses of Zhuque City. Each of them has a solid stone wall and a complete defense system.
Looking through the gaps of these satellite towns, a black line became thicker and thicker on the horizon in the distance, and the melodious sound of the horn seemed to tell them, be ready, we are here.
Mingyue in the north city looked at the Li Tang army in the distance. As the saying goes, a thousand people are continuous for several miles, with over ten thousand people covering the sky. From the test results of multiple scouts, the Li Tang army heading south from the north is the troops of two imperial guards and two Zhechong Prefectures, with no more than fifty thousand people.
However, these 50,000 are the main force. In addition to combat troops, there are also many auxiliary soldiers. In order to transport food, grass and supplies, the Li Tang army recruited many young and strong men, and these people together had 20,000 to 30,000.
As early as several outer cities in front of him were lost, Mingyue in Beicheng knew that the Li Tang army would arrive in the past few days, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little amazed.
For the empire, Li Tang was undoubtedly the number one opponent. He had been recuperating for five hundred years. The remnants of Li Tang, who had only one million in the past, have now increased to tens of millions. Among the eight cities, the land available for cultivation could definitely not support so many people. In other words, in order to survive, these remnants of Li Tang were probably never eaten.
Moreover, the existence of the remaining lineage of the Li Tang royal family is a disaster. The remnants of Li Tang who have a destination of a god have never forgotten their wish to restore the country for hundreds of years. When the eldest brother's empire was weak, the strong wish that had been accumulated for hundreds of years and the bursting power surprised everyone.
Originally, the Empire had the opportunity to completely eradicate this poisonous seedling before it grew up, but the battle for the throne caused disaster to the internal Xiao Wall, and the Empire lost the best opportunity. When Li Tang grew stronger, it was too late for the Empire to eradicate Li Tang.
"The Holy Cult Army has arrived, where has it been?" Mingyue, Beicheng, turned her head and asked.
"Return to the imperial envoy, the Holy Cult Army is seventy miles west of the city and is blocked outside Xique City."
The teahouse opposite the Jinsui Rice Store in Zhuque City, due to the impact of the war, has become particularly cold.
"Young Master Jiang is not going to avoid it?" Liu Bowen held the teacup with mist and swept his eyes to the head of the Jiang family opposite, who seemed to be a little excited.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "It's not yet at the point of escaping. Zhuque City is still a thousand-year-old city. It has been reinforced and expanded by generations, so it shouldn't be so easy to break."
Liu Bowen shook his head and said, "There are people guarding the city, and someone needs to defend the strong city defense."
"Why, Mr. Liu is very unconfident in the Emperor*?" Jiang Chen said.
Liu Bowen smiled and said, "Of course I hope that Emperor* can defend the Suzaku City, but Emperor**jing's sharpness is not two or three, and the current situation has been held today, tomorrow, and this month, but how long can it last in the end?"
"The Suzaku City has now become an isolated city, and the imperial reinforcements cannot be counted on, and the city is only about to fall."
"Ha, Mr. Liu seems to have forgotten your young master. Marquis Ping'an should not sit down and watch the fall of Zhuque City, otherwise Mr. Liu would not sit firmly here."
Jiang Chen said, and continued, "Okay, let's get back to the point. Mr. Liu came to me this time, not just to let me escape. If you have anything, just say anything. Although the Leng family and my Jiang family are not as good as Qin and Jin, they are also grasshoppers on the same rope. If you have anything, just say it directly."
Liu Bowen took a sip of tea, but raised his head, looked at Jiang Chen, and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, there is something to offend, I hope the head of the Jiang family will forgive me."
"oh"
"Liu usually takes a break from his busy schedule, and he will stroll around the city or read some books. A hundred years ago, the Jiang family was in this Zhuque City, and it was once again the city lord. Even the largest expansion of Zhuque City was hosted by the Jiang family?"
"Mr. Liu said it clearly." Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and saw Liu Bowen in confusion, not understanding what the other party said meant.
Liu Bowen chuckled and said, "As a super city with a population of millions, Zhuque City has a wide wall, and the streets of Bada and countless Lifang houses. Under the ground, there is also a systematic drainage system."
"This is natural." Not to mention super big cities like Zhuque City, even ordinary small cities have special drainage systems. Otherwise, the sewage and rainwater cannot be dispersed, and the entire city will smell bad or even be submerged.
"I have been to the city lord's yamen and secretly read it, but the news I got was that the drainage system diagram of Zhuque City was burned in the battle more than a hundred years ago. However, the Jiang family was the one who re-expanded Zhuque City. I think the Jiang family may have a backup diagram."
Jiang Chen said oh, saying, "What's the use of this underground waterway map, Mr. Liu?"
"Of course it is useful. It must be said that your ancestor was a person with a long-term vision. During the expansion of the Zhuque City, the underground waterway was built using a large tunnel. The main waterway is about 150 meters high, and the widest place is three meters high, and the waterway is also 10 meters high. The Zhuque City has not had waterway blockage, but it has always been due to this design."
Jiang Chen is not a fool either. Liu Bowen said so much that he didn't know what the other party thought. It was higher than 100 meters and wider than 10 meters, and it was almost the most natural hidden soldiers. Moreover, this waterway connects the inner and outer city of the city. If he had this waterway map, the towering city defense of the Zhuque City suddenly became a decoration.
Jiang Chen yin for a while and said, "I really don't know this. After I go back, I ask the butlers to search for it. If I find it, I will definitely send it to Mr. Liu. However, Marquis Ping'an is going to take over the Zhuque City. I, Jiang Chen, will take charge of the Zhuque City lord."
Liu Bowen nodded with a smile and said, "I think this is not a big problem. The young master will not be stingy with the position of a city lord, and the talent of the head of the Jiang family is enough to take on the position of a city lord."
Nanpingcang, Zhuge Liang stood on the crown of the ancient tower beast, looking down at Nanpingcang: "The army of the Holy Sect has reached the outer periphery of Zhuque City, to the north, the Li Tang army has also arrived dozens of miles north of the city, and the partial army of the east road has also come from the east. Now the Zhuque City is surrounded on three sides. Although the road towards us is still smooth, there are more and more scouts recently, and the transportation of food and grass has been restricted."
"The food transported to the city is almost enough to support it for more than three months. Now it depends on how firm the Emperor*'s resistance is. The more powerful the Zhuque City fights, we can get more benefits. But can Emperor* last for three months?" Guo Jia was a little suspicious.
Zhuge Liang did not answer because this question was obviously not something that people could guess: "The Holy Church will also attack Nanping Treasury, so let's worry about this here first. How is the reorganization of the two divisions going?"
"There has been almost done. All the Jing Rui Beast Cavalry are battalions and used as a whole. In addition, the new Leopard Cavalry soldiers are already being selected, but it will take one or two months to be able to have combat effectiveness."
"Nanlin Mansion must also hurry up."
On the fifteenth day of the second month of the empire, the sound of firecrackers was deafening. The entire blood-crying castle was shrouded in the bustling noise. In the main hall of the blood-crying castle, the grand wedding banquet slowly opened.
There are too many people, Leng Zhuo has just a feeling. Not to mention the spacious banquet hall in the past, even the small square outside the main fort is full of tables and chairs. The handsome ones are in the banquet hall, and the small households are considered rich, so they can only sit in the square.
Fortunately, the weather in February was not very cold, and with the crowds, it didn't seem cold anymore. After worshiping the world and parents, Leng Zhuo finally had a breath.
"Huh, I don't feel it on weekdays. I just realized that there are so many people with wealth and good looks." Leng Zhuo leaned lazily on the sofa chair and asked him to go to war and chop people, but he didn't feel so tired.
However, no matter how much I complained, my eyes suddenly lit up. After worshiping the world, I had to toast, so I had to change my clothes. Nangong Yuhu, Long Wushuang and Baishuang Sanv took off my clothes directly in front of Leng Zhuo.
Guru, Leng Zhuo swallowed and spitted. Although the three NV body had already been everywhere from top to bottom, the changing clothes in public still made Leng Zhuo's eyes lit up. Unfortunately, he couldn't sleep with him.
Nangong Yuhu rolled his eyes, glared at Leng Zhuo, and said, "You can't get up, change your clothes?"
"No hurry, don't hurry, take a rest first. You three are good. You have been sitting behind you. I'm going to greet the guests with a smile. I'm almost smiling. I really don't know where so many relatives come from in your family." Leng Zhuo felt depressed when he thought about it. Although there were not many people who made him worship him, the elders always worship him.
These three families are all well-known families, especially the Nangong family. The relatives within the five squads alone are no less than one or two hundred. There are no more Leng Zhuo remembered, and Bai Shuang and Long Wushuang's family have fewer relatives, but there are always 30 or 40.
Hearing Leng Zhuo's complaint, Nangong Yuhu laughed out loud and said, "Just be content, you're going anywhere. This time, they are all relatives in Yangzhou Prefecture. If it weren't for the war, relatives from other places would have to support them. At that time, there would be more than a thousand people, and there would be hundreds."
Humph, it turns out that the family is a big business. Compared with the Nangong family, the Leng family is just a bare-headed person. There seems to be no one else on the other except for a grandfather. As for relatives, there is really nothing.
