Chapter 753

When I came to the vicinity of Hongzhou City, I already felt that Hongzhou City was very different from what I had seen a few months ago, the original Hongzhou City, except for the four city gate towers that were built with blue bricks, the surrounding city walls were all made of clay rammed.

However, now, the original blue brick city gate tower has turned red, which is based on the original red bricks to heighten and reinforce, in addition, the walls of the city wall have also been heightened and reinforced with a large number of red bricks. Its city is much taller and more majestic than the original Hongzhou City.

The streets and houses in the city have also been repaired, and they seem to be much more neat and regular, especially the streets rebuilt by Yuanyou cement, but they are much more comfortable than the original yellow mud road, although the traffic of pedestrians makes the whole road look dusty, but as long as there is rain washed over, it will still look so clean as ever.

Hongzhou is very crowded, mainly because of the arrival of 20,000 troops and their dependents, which makes this originally not very large state city feel pressure.

Eventually, Dong Qun relocated more than 5,000 families of the Xiang army and their dependents to Naiwangjing and the renovated ancient city of Wuyan, after all, the ancient city of Wuyan is one of the few excellent wharves on the west bank of the turbulent Wuding River.

And here, it is also the place where the Western Xia garrison and other troops evacuated, and if the Western Xia soldiers and horses want to attack Hongzhou, they must first seize the ancient city of Wuyan, or they can only cross the river from the downstream Xiazhou, and then seize the three forks belonging to Youzhou, so that they can enter the ancient city of Wuyan.

Wang Yang and Zhi Keshi stayed in Hongzhou for three days, and then continued to go north and rushed to the ancient city of Wuyan, where they inspected the ancient city of Wuyan, which had been destroyed by the elite of the Great Song Dynasty led by himself in the past.

But now, the city walls have been repaired, and nearly half of the buildings in the city have been repaired, enough for the people who have migrated to live.

Even the farmland near the ancient city of Wuyan is gradually verdant and green at this moment, and the faces of the migrated people are full of indescribable satisfaction and smiles.

And Wang Yang saw all this, but his heart became heavier and heavier. People also became more and more silent, and Zhi Keshi, a companion who had been partnered with Wang Yang for a long time, naturally noticed Wang Yang's abnormality, but every time he inquired, he was perfunctory by this guy's words, so he could only give up.

He didn't want to say it, he was afraid that no one would be able to force him to say it, and if he was willing to say it, he was afraid that even if he didn't ask, he would tell himself.

"Not enough, not enough, far from enough, the city wall of the ancient city of Wuyan is not enough to repair it like this, it is too low, let the guard continue to increase the city wall, at least to reach one zhang five, in addition, the city wall must be transformed according to the standard city wall of my Great Song Dynasty, increase the female wall, and the four corners also need to increase the arrow tower......"

"Wang Jingluo, this ancient city of Wuyan is just a walled fort rebuilt from an ancient city, if it is added according to your requirements, I am afraid it will cost a lot." Huang Shouxin, who came with him, couldn't help but look embarrassed and looked at Wang Yang.

"It's okay, but I ask you, from now on, put down everything at hand, repair as quickly as possible, and by the end of May, I want to see that the ancient city of Wuyan fully meets the requirements of this official, understand?" Wang Yang is unusually resolute, or stubborn.

And these people subconsciously cast their eyes on Zhi Keshi, who glanced at Wang Yang, who had almost no expression on his face, and shrugged his shoulders: "Wang Jingluo's meaning, Zhi Mou also agrees very much, I hope you will work together and live up to the entrustment of Zhe Mou and Lord Wang." ”

Seeing that the opinions of the two high-ranking officials were so unified, Huang Shouxin and Dong Qun, as the civil and military leaders of Hongzhou, could only accept the order helplessly.

Not only the ancient city of Wuyan, but even the city defense of Naiwangjing also put forward higher requirements, after Hongzhou was disposed of, Wang Yang and Zhi Keshi continued to ride their horses north, heading towards Youzhou.

And at this moment, five days have passed, and when they saw Youzhou, which was armed to the teeth, Wang Daguan was quite satisfied, even if it was a fold, his eyes couldn't help but be a little faintly red.

"Fucking good, this fucking looks like a city, it's like a formidable beast." Look at the arrow towers that stand tall above the city walls. There is also the thick and tall city wall, and the urn city that is also strong and like a beast's mouth with fangs, Zhi Keshi is very emotional.

"That's natural, the cost of repairing and renovating Youzhou alone has cost nearly 500,000 yuan, if it weren't for Wang Jingluo's support, how could this Youzhou be like this."

"What about the 10,000 troops who migrated here?" Wang Yang bowed his head again and again with satisfaction, this is what he imagined a military fortress to look like.

"Although this 10,000-chamber army is not as good as our border army, it is not much worse, after all, it has been stationed in the border between the Great Song Dynasty and Northern Liao for a long time, and there are even many veterans who originally retired from the border army...... "The seed master and the seed master are much younger than the seed master Dao."

And the personality is not as calm and calm as the teacher, but the vitality of a lot of hot-blooded soldiers, and Zhi Keshi is also an old acquaintance, and the two giggled when they first met.

"Relying on this Youzhou Prefecture City, how many enemies do you think you can block?" After entering the city, Wang Yang dismounted at the city gate, climbed the towering city wall, looked at the urn city in front of him, and looked in the northeast direction, while asking leisurely.

"Not to mention anything else, 200,000 enemies, the last general is confident that it can last for a month." The seed master didn't rashly promise anything, but gave his answer after thinking about it. "However, as far as the current strength of the city is concerned, I am afraid that the loss will not be small."

Wang Yang turned his head, as if he wanted to hear him say in more detail. The seed master did not disappoint Wang Yang, but continued to analyze the pros and cons of Youzhou today.

"If there are really 200,000 troops to attack, it will be a bit reluctant to hold for a month...... After all, there are not many young people in Youzhou City, even with the help of this 10,000-strong army. However, this 10,000-chamber army was not equipped with any ordnance and armor, only 8,000 spears, 2,000 bows, and less than 1,000 pieces of leather armor. ”

"Now in the garrison of Youzhou City, there are 5,000 Yuan You crossbows, 3,000 bows, 500 Yuan You armor, and the rest of the defenders are iron armor, but the defense is naturally not as exaggerated as Yuan Youjia, as for the 3,000 cavalry, there are 1,000 Yuan Youjia and 2,000 Qizi armor horses, which can be regarded as a hole card and reliance on my Youzhou."

"It's just that if there is really an army of 200,000 people to attack, these 3,000 armored cavalry will not be of much use, and they can only cooperate with the infantry army to defend the city, and occasionally take advantage of the enemy's carelessness or weakness to raid one or two, mainly to harass the enemy army."

"Most of the van army doesn't even have a piece of leather armor?" Wang Yang couldn't help but inhale with some toothache.
