Chapter 170: Wuchang
With the arrival of this sound, it also means that the bandit army led by Zhang Rui has arrived in Wuchang.
Wuchang, was founded in the early years of Huangwu, when Sun Quan went up the Shuojiang River in order to dominate the industry, took the meaning of "Wuchang and Chang", changed Hubei County to Wuchang, and called the emperor the capital here.
There is a city in Wuchang, which is from the 2nd year of Huangwu in Eastern Wu. Sun Quan, the lord of Eastern Wu, built a city on the north side of Huanghu Mountain, near his capital Wuchang, because the city faced the Yangtze River and was far away from Xiashuikou. Hence the name Xiakou.
The world-famous Yellow Crane Tower is a military lookout in Xiakou City. The rise of Wuchang today began around this.
Wuchang City has experienced all kinds of ups and downs in the middle, and the basic stereotype is four years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the bandit army saw it, and it was it.
The circumference of the city is about twenty miles, and there are nine gates.
There is Binyang Gate in the east (when Jiajing 14 years of the imperial history Gu phosphorus rebuilt Wuchang City, the big east gate was changed), there is a new south gate in the southeast, there is a security gate and Wangze gate in the south, there is a bamboo gate in the southwest, there is Pinghu Gate in the west, there is Hanyang Gate in the northwest, there is Caobu Gate in the north, and there is a small east gate in the northeast.
Wuchang City is two feet eight feet high, the wall is six feet eight feet thick, and the top is five feet and four feet wide. It is six miles long from north to south and five miles wide from east to west. The circumference is 3,430 zhang.
At the same time, Wuchang City is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the west, with two water gates, there are gates, and there are three gates of Hanyang, Pinghu and Wenchang.
There is Wusheng Gate in the north. The east is Binyang, loyalty and filial piety. South Hope Mountain, Guard, Zhonghe Three Gates. There are moats outside the city on the north, south and east sides, the river is two zhang deep, two zhang eight feet wide, and the total length is three thousand three hundred and forty-three zhang.
One hundred and eighty steps from Binyang Gate to Zhongxiao Gate; Zhongxiao Gate to Wusheng Gate three miles; One hundred and eighty steps from Wusheng Gate to Hanyang Gate; one mile from Hanyang Gate to Pinghu Gate; One hundred and eighty steps from Pinghu Gate to Wenchang Gate; One hundred and eighty steps from Wenchang Gate to Wangshan Gate; One mile from Wangshan Gate to Security Gate; Twenty steps from the security gate to the Zhonghe gate; Zhonghe Gate to Binyang Gate three miles.
At this time, Zhang Rui and others gathered at the Zhonghe Gate in the south. Zhang Rui's location is also the main force of the bandit army.
After the bandit army entered Hubei, it found that the Manchu defenses had changed. Many county towns were actually not defended by soldiers, and some of the men and horses organized by the magistrate were simply not enough to deal a blow to the bandit army.
It is also the change of Minrui's countermeasures, so Zhang Rui has also changed his way to send troops.
At this time, the bandit suppression army that entered Hubei was divided into two routes. One route Zhang Rui led 100,000 horses, and the soldiers fought all the way from Yueyang to Wuchang. One route, Chief of Staff Wang Kaiyuan, together with Ma Jiulu and Junzheng Qian Lushan, approached Jingzhou.
With the bandit army led by Zhang Rui attacking the city all the way, the strength of the bandit army that arrived in Wuchang City at this moment was 120,000 horses.
Since Hunan and Hubei are both grain-producing areas, there has been no large-scale destruction and harassment of the people since the bandit army entered Hunan. In order to curry favor with the bandit army, many large households in Hunan and Hubei have invested heavily in giving food to the bandit army, so the military food of the bandit army is also very sufficient at this time.
"Sixth brother, what should I do next? Let the brethren go to the siege? At this time, as one of the new brigade commanders, Sun Liuli came over to Zhang Rui and asked, only to see that the clothes in front of him were all soaked.
