"Want to run? It's late..."Looking at Seketu coming on horseback. Xi Luna, the corners of Zhu He's mouth smiled slightly, and he couldn't help but say contemptuously in his tone.

"Brothers, knock those two Tartars down, don't let them run away like that."

"Yes, squad leader..."The ambushed bandits responded in succession, and several muskets were aimed at Seketu at the same time. The horse on which Siluna was riding opened fire.

"Smack... Smack..."

Seketu. Siluna picks up Zakuta. Before Hong could go far, the gunshots rang out again.

"Shhhh Whew..."

Seketu. The horse on which Siluna was sitting was unfortunately hit in the thigh by a bullet fired by the bandits. The horse fell to his knees and neighed.

The two people who sat on the horse had already eaten, but now the horse's leg was injured and he was even more powerless to support it. At this time, the two people sitting on horseback were thrown out directly, and they fell dizzy.

"Haha... Attaboy. The Tartars were defeated, and the brethren were ready to follow me. "Looking at Seketu who was thrown off his horse. Siluna and Zakuta. Hong Rolling, Zhu He smiled in a good mood.

"Pay attention, the Tartars in front of you are all fierce characters, if you can take prisoners, you will be captured, and if you can't be captured, you will be killed immediately. Be sure to keep yourself safe, have you heard clearly? ”

"Yes, squad leader..."

"Don't worry, squad leader, I'm not happy with these Tartars who are screaming just now. If they want to be honest, if they dare to be dishonest, I will immediately send them to report to Lord Yama. ”

"Okay, be vigilant around, and move forward in groups of three or three." Zhu He ordered.

"Yes..."

Xuzhou City, the city is two zhang three high, and the bottom width is also two zhang three. There is a road at the top of the city wall, which is one zhang wide. The city wall is trapezoidal, built with bricks and stones, and has a circumference of more than nine miles.

In the seventh year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the Tancheng earthquake affected Xuzhou and destroyed the whole city.

Today's Xuzhou City is the original city that the Qing court rebuilt after 56 years of rebuilding the foundation of the Ming city wall.

Xuzhou City has four gates: Heqing Gate in the east, Tongbian Gate in the west, Kuiguang Gate in the south, and Wu'an Gate in the north. The outer ring of the city is a moat, and the depth and width are three zhang each.

Xuzhou city to Xuzhou Mansion and Drum Tower as the center, to the axis of the three halls of the government to the south to extend, out of the government is for the Drum Tower Street, to the south to extend for the South Gate Street, this is a central axis of the whole city, from the axis to the east to the west each row three avenues and the axis perpendicular intersection.

In addition, there is a parallel North Gate Street to the west of the axis, thus constituting the whole city road grid bureau, in this road network distributed public buildings such as ya, office, official, courtyard, temple.

Nanmen Street is a commercial street with many shops. There is Kuaizai Pavilion in the southeast corner of the city, and the southwest corner of the city tower is the swallow building.

The south gate of Xuzhou City (i.e., Kuiguang Gate), as the main gate of Xuzhou in the past dynasties, it is on the same central axis as the Yamen of Xuzhou Mansion.

There is a semicircular wide land in the south gate, that is, the urn city, and the people of Xuzhou call the urn circle. There is a shadow wall wall facing the south gate in the urn city, which is inlaid with the four stone carving characters of "one of Kyushu" written by Jiang Zhuo, the governor of Xuzhou in the Kangxi Dynasty.

According to the city gate system, the urn city outside the city gate is not directly opposite the city gate in order to defend. However, since the south gate is the main gate, it is the only one that is in a straight line with the urn gate, facing each other.

There is a gatehouse on the south gate of Xuzhou, there is a suspension bridge on the moat outside the gate, there is a city gate official to guard, and the city gate is closed regularly every night.

In the old days, the city gate was the focus of the entire city defense system. In normal times, it is the passage of entry and exit, and in war, the city gate is the main target of the attack and defense.

The sturdiness of the city gate is the key to maintaining the safety of the whole city, so the construction of the city gate is based on tall and strong standards.

There are popular children's songs in Xuzhou:

"Inside the walls, outside the walls, inside the walls, there are vegetables growing in the walls. It's delicious, it's easy to wear, it's easy to give away and it's easy to buy. ”

"How high are the gates, thirty-six feet high. Ride a white horse, carry a big sword, and walk under the city gate. ”

At that time, when people came to Xuzhou city to visit relatives and friends to buy things, they had to pass through the tall city gate. If you want to go out of the city at night, you have to rush before the city gates are closed.

On Nanmen Street, there are silk cloth villages, teahouses, hotels, southern goods sauce gardens, inns, pharmacies, and many handicraft workshops.

It is said: "Prosperous place through the ages, Xuzhou never sleeps city", since ancient times, inside and outside the south gate has been the most lively place in Xuzhou.

The sun is shining brightly, and the sky is clear.

There are no clouds to shade the sun, and under this hot sun, the earth is like a furnace, which makes people irritable.

Outside the south gate of Xuzhou City, except for three or two passers-by who were in a hurry, the city gate also seemed calm and peaceful.

"Driving... Drive..."

Suddenly, I heard someone riding a horse outside the city gates. The speed was so fast that it lifted the sand and dust behind him.

In this hot weather, the people who sit on it do not regret the horsepower at all.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, if you don't want to die, get out of the way of Lao Tzu, emergency military situation..."Near the city gate, the man on horseback shouted loudly in Manchu.

Although the green battalion soldiers guarding the city couldn't understand what the man on horseback was shouting, seeing that he was wearing a red flag, they thought that he was also someone they couldn't afford to provoke. The defenders did not dare to make any more obstacles, and hurriedly made way for the man on horseback to pass quickly.

The horses habitually slowed down as they passed through the gates, allowing the defenders to see the men on horseback a little. This man is none other than Zakuta. Shumur sent back by Hung Hoan to bring reinforcements. Gamuku.

"Drive..."

With a call, Shumur. The horse that Gamuge sat down sped up again, quickly passed through the Kuiguang Gate, and entered the city of Xuzhou.

The horses were gone, but they brought a lot of dust and dust to the defenders of the city gate, making the green battalion soldiers defending the city look a lot of embarrassment.

"Hey, Slippery King, you said that this banner soldier is riding such a fast horse to be reincarnated!" Looking at Shummour, the past. Gamuge, a thin defender with a spear in hand, wiped the dust off his face and said.

"Thin monkey Jiang, if you want to die, you can die on one side, but don't pull me. These Eight Banners masters are also something you can ridicule, if you let others listen to it and sue you, you will have good fruit to eat. Wang Li on the side hurriedly replied.

"King Slippery, you don't look like such a timid and scared person! In a word, something. Besides, it's just the two of us here, who else can complain? Although Jiang Wei had palpitations, he still replied with a strong face.

"I'm afraid? Can I not be afraid? Xu Yangzi of the East Gate, you know! Just because of a little thing, I offended these Eight Banners uncles from the north, and I was almost not killed, and I am still lying at home. Therefore, as long as it is related to Manchurians, it is better to be careful. Especially now that you're ready for war, they'll always pick something they can do with you. Wang Li said.

"You're right to say that, these people just love to find trouble. I'll pay attention, thanks! After listening to Wang Li's words, Jiang Wei no longer held on to his face, and thanked Wang Li repeatedly.

Note: Thank you for the reward of 2000 points on the other side of Biluo Yellow Spring. I feel like I'm going to be able to get another 2,000 tips today, and I can get another chapter! Hee-hee......
