Chang'an City is a mile away, Li Qing and others stand on their horses, looking at the magnificent city that lies across the plain in front of them about five zhang high like a moat, looking at it, the flag on the city tower stands in the wind, a mighty man wearing armor and waist across the Tang knife under the reflection of the noon sun, the bright light armor on the body is shining, leaping brightly, the four-story city tower above the city gate rises from the clouds, straight to the sky, just like the fairy Qiong Tower.

On both sides of the west gate of Chang'an, the two urn cities are also rising from the ground, the overall height is about three zhang, the small city of the semi-circular gate, one left and one right form the corner of the momentum to firmly defend the west gate of Chang'an, the arrow tower above the urn city is dense, the pheasant moat and the gate gate are the same a lot, perfect defensive measures, if the enemy attacks the west gate, the crossbowmen of the Tang army can hide on the two urn cities to shoot at the attacking enemy, so that the enemy can not take into account the first place, not only to guard against the main force of the Tang army on the Chang'an city, but also to face the shooting of the Tang army on the two urn cities, There will be a terrible price to pay.

And the construction of the two urn cities is very skillful, the two urn cities are not built in the same straight line with the city gate, so as to avoid the battering ram to the two urn cities, and because the urn city is about three zhang high as a whole, although it is not low compared to the general city, but it is dwarfed in front of the Chang'an city that is about five zhang high.

Even if the invading enemy finally broke through the two urn cities at a great cost, it would not be a fatal threat to Chang'an City, on the contrary, because the urn city was not far from Chang'an City, completely in a stone's throw away, and the height of the urn city was not as good as the main city of Chang'an, if the enemy stood on the urn city, it was completely the live target of the Tang army on the main city wall of Chang'an.

In this way, these two urn cities have become chicken ribs, if not taken, the continuous rain of arrows will inevitably cause continuous long-range strikes to the enemy besieging the city, and if a large number of troops are spent to capture the two urn cities, even if they are finally victorious, but they can not threaten the main city of Chang'an at all, and they will lose a large number of troops, and they will inevitably be unable to launch any effective attack on the high and deep Chang'an City.

Although it was not the first time that he had seen the grandeur of Chang'an City, Li Qing still couldn't help but sigh when he saw the magnificent scene in front of him again: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being a world-class metropolis at that time, whether it is the perfect defense measures of the city or the area of the city, it is worthy of such a title." ”

The circumference of Tang Chang'an City is about 35 kilometers, and the area is about 84 square kilometers, which is 1.7 times that of Yuan Dadu, 1.9 times that of Nanjing City in the Ming Dynasty, 1.4 times that of Beijing City in Ming and Qing Dynasties, 7 times that of Constantinople, and 7 times that of Guroba City.

Most of the people present are the first time to see the grandeur of Chang'an, the capital of Chang'an, are full of astonishment, Rao is perennial in the border land has experienced countless life and death killings, has already exercised their minds are very people, at this moment to see the grandeur of Chang'an City, they are also people do not know the emotion.

Looking at the tall city that stretches for miles in front of them, all the soldiers are full of emotion: this is their imperial capital, standing in Guanzhong, less than a hundred years, welcoming visitors from all over the world to look down on the imperial capital of Chang'an, the kind of monstrous mind that is tolerant of all things in heaven and earth, makes them feel extremely proud, worthy of the Tang Dynasty that they protect with their lives.

It is precisely because of the iron-blooded Great Wall that they fought against with flesh and blood on the front line that they exchanged for the prosperity of Chang'an City today, and at this moment they can pat their chests and say to others that they are soldiers of the Tang Empire, and they feel honored to be able to fight for the empire.

As the starting point of the Silk Road, the West Gate of Chang'an is naturally very lively, people come and go, and the caravan envoys of various nationalities entering and leaving the West Gate are endless, and even there are caravans from the Great Food Rome not far away to enter and exit the West Gate, which is enough to see how thorough the economic integration of Chang'an City is at this moment.

The caravans, dressed in the costumes of various nationalities, ranged in number from a few dozen relatives to four or five hundred caravans that stretched for miles back and forth, and these caravans traveled in groups and carried the banner of the caravan, and in the midst of these large caravans there were guards armed with scimitars.

The number of these guards is not much, and in the confrontation of four or five hundred people, these guards only account for less than twenty percent of them, that is, they can be worthy of eighty or ninety people, no more, no less, looking at these caravans all the way to the dust, they must have come from afar, and accidents will inevitably occur along the way, and the safety of the people with the presence of these guards is obviously one more layer of security.

Li Qing was in good spirits, although the number of warriors guarding the caravan in front of him was extremely small, but looking at their strong bodies and vigorous riding posture, Li Qing clearly found that in terms of skill alone, these caravan guards were not much better than the iron-blooded guards beside him.

It's just that compared to the three hundred guards behind him, these guards are a little less cooperative, and their discipline is not as good as the guards who have been trained all year round, after all, most of their guards are improvised because of common interests, in fact, their existence is more like mercenaries in later generations, taking people's money to do things for others.

What they are doing at the moment is to take the money of these caravans, send people to protect the safety of these caravans along the way, and when they arrive at the destination, which is the Chang'an City in front of them, the employment relationship between the two parties will also be contacted.

After calming down, he looked at the team that had stopped behind him, waved his big hand, and said, "The whole army is entering the city!" ”

In fact, Li Qing, a team of more than 400 people in full armor (joined by the Helian family), just stopped a mile away from Chang'an City, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, after all, it had just experienced a Songzhou war, although after nearly half a month of walking or stopping trekking finally arrived at the foot of Chang'an at this moment, but the killing spirit has not completely dispersed.

For Li Qing, a large Tang army team, the caravans that came and went avoided one after another, but although everyone avoided it, there was no fear on their faces.

They naturally know that although the Tang Empire in the Central Plains is extremely strong in force for a while, it is also a state of etiquette, if there is no reason, never bullying, the Tang army in front of them will naturally not attack their caravan for no reason, not to mention, at this moment at the foot of the Son of Heaven outside Chang'an City, the safety of everyone has undoubtedly been more guaranteed.

The distance of one day, coupled with the avoidance of the caravans coming and going around, Li Qing and the others naturally arrived in an instant・・・・・・

The rapid gallop of Li Qing and others naturally attracted the attention of more than 100 Tang soldiers guarding the west gate of Chang'an, and after a glance, there was no panic in the slightest, after all, as the imperial capital of Chang'an, border emergencies were inevitable, and they who were stationed at the city gate all year round naturally would not be panicked because of the small more than 300 soldiers in full armor.
