Before going to Runan, Wei Yan checked the construction of Yiyang New Town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In three months, the inner city was completely repaired, the rammed earth of the outer city was completed, the outer bricks were also done, and the cement was successfully fired, which was better than the performance of the soil cement in Wei Yan's impression.

Wei Yan was satisfied with the overall progress of the project, but he still added two requirements to Li Yan.

First of all, add an urn city outside each of the four gates.

In order to avoid the city gate from being directly exposed to the enemy's attack, a city wall is often built on the outside of the city gate to form a small area of defensive annex, which is the so-called urn city, the urn city, as the name suggests, once the enemy enters here, it will be besieged from all sides, like a turtle in the urn.

The urn city is a later product, and there is no era in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

When Li Yan heard Wei Yan's proposal, he looked at Wei Yan's hand-drawn schematic diagram, and couldn't help but praise: "My lord, there was no ancients' move before, and a simple arrangement can greatly increase the defense of the city, which is really wonderful!" The last general admired the lord ...... greatly"

Wei Yan's second request was to make some edges on the basis of the original quadrangular city wall and go over to the fortress.

Traditional castles are mostly square, with the invention of cannons, attackers can first blow up the battlements above, so that the defenders lose cover, and then use the ladder to occupy the city, it is in response to this method of warfare, Europe built a large number of irregular city walls in the Renaissance period, the height is staggered, the wall provides a wealth of firepower points, the cannon collapses in one place, and the other quickly replenishes the defense, in order to win time for repair, because there are too many shooting points, the fortress is actually extremely difficult to approach.

This fortress was built, and it could still play a multiplier effect when dealing with enemy sieges in the era of cold weapons, and a small structural improvement increased the castle's defense power several times.

Li Yan looked at the schematic diagram of the structure of this fortress, looked at Wei Yan's eyes full of admiration, and couldn't help but sigh: "The lord is really a god and a man!" It is a great blessing to be able to serve the Lord! ”

Wei Yan knew Li Yan's personality, if what a person did really made him look down on him at all, not only would he not praise hypocritically, but also directly give him white eyes and contempt, a guy who is quite unhuman, is such a guy, and his praise is the most sincere.

In addition to those two requirements, Wei Yan also demanded that a tower and pavilion be built on the city wall and connected with a pavilion, and a cave was dug under it to store food and weapons, so as to integrate the functions of viewing, amusement, reserve and defense, which was Cao Cao's initiative when he rebuilt Yecheng in the future, and Wei Yan now came out ten years ahead of schedule.

Subsequently, Wei Yan and Wen Yang led 2,000 cavalry, Chen Zhi led 3,000 infantry, and Guan Hai led 2,000 Yellow Turban thieves to Langling County, Runan County.

There were many people from Langling who went with them, and they went back this time to cut wheat, Wei Yan, Wen Yang, and Chen Zhi protected them to cut wheat, and at the same time swept several counties near Nanyang County in Runan.

A few days later, Wei Yan's soldiers and horses arrived at the city of Langling County.

At this time, Qin Qi, the governor of Runan, led 3,000 men and horses to guard here.

This Qin Qi is quite hateful, he occupies this place, as if he is not to stick to Langling County, but to disgust Wei Yan specifically, whether it is the people who returned to Langling from Yiyang to cut wheat, or the people who went to Yiyang to join Wei Yan in the name of benevolence and righteousness from other remote places, they were all strangled by him.

If it was only a few or dozens, Wei Yan would have endured it, after all, he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Cao Cao so early, but Qin Qi killed more than a thousand people back and forth, and threatened to kill anyone who dared to defect to Wei Yan.

Who is tolerable or which is unbearable, he decided to kill Qin Qi, avenge the more than 1,000 people, and also to raise his prestige, who dares to hinder the people of other places from defecting to me like Qin Qi in the future, and the end will be like Qin Qi!

Arrived at the city of Langling County, Wei Yan couldn't help frowning, this city is located in a flat area, easy to attack and difficult to defend, so the city wall is relatively high, this time Wei Yan just wants to kill Qin Qi Liwei, and at the same time protect the people to cut wheat, I didn't expect to attack the city, but if there is no siege equipment such as catapults, this Langling County will not be able to attack at all.

Chen Zhi frowned: "Lord, if we don't take down Langling City and annihilate Qin Qi, the people of the northern counties will not dare to come over to us, and Qin Qi's department will easily attack us, this Langling City must be pulled down, but we don't have siege equipment, what should we do?" ”

Wen Yang said on the side: "Then it's better to stay here, urge Ma Jun and Ma Deheng to transport some catapults and craftsmen over, and when the catapults in the rear arrive, we will attack the city again." ”

Wei Yan shook his head: "Why waste time, tomorrow will definitely be killed!" ”

Chen Zhi smiled bitterly: "Lord, today our army has just arrived in the city, quite tired, at this time, if Qin Qi has some courage to go out of the city to fight, he will definitely be able to kill some heads, but he does not dare to fight, it shows that this person is a timid and cowardly, such a person will definitely choose to defend the city all the time, how can the lord kill him?" ”

Wei Yanlang laughed and said: "I have already understood this person's temperament, and I will definitely be able to let him go out of the city to face the battle tomorrow." ”

At first, as Chen Zhi said, Qin Qi saw that Wei Yan was so powerful that he didn't dare to go out of the city to engage in the battle, so he decided to hold on for the time being, and sent someone to ask his uncle Cai Yang for help.

That night, Wei Yan's men and horses set up camp outside Langling City.

The next day, Wei Yan's men and horses seemed to have sent some soldiers to protect the people and cut wheat, and only more than 2,000 people remained in the camp.

Wei Yan selected a hundred soldiers with loud voices, and shouted loudly at the head of the city: "Qin Qi, come out and face the battle!" I heard that you are the nephew of Cai Yang, the ancestor of the sword, presumably your sword skills are good, do you dare to come down and compete with my father-in-law? ”

"Qin Qi, you shrunken turtle, don't dare to come out to fight, lose your uncle Cai Yang's face!"

"What kind of bullshit knife ancestor, the knife grandson is almost the same, his nephew has no eggs, he should be a shrunken grandson!"

All kinds of yin damage floated to the city by insulting Cai Yang and then stimulating Qin Qi's words.

Qin Qi originally planned to stick to the reinforcements, but now when he heard the insults from the city, he couldn't help it, and despite the dissuasion of the deputy general, he ordered two thousand men and horses to kill out of the city.

Chen Zhi was surprised: "Lord, you are really like a god, this Qin Qi really fell for the plan and went out of the city to face the battle." ”

Wei Yanlang laughed loudly: "Qin Qi is manic by nature, and he can't be stimulated. ”

Qin Qi does not see the official history, he is an acting figure, and the only appearance in the romance exposed his shortcomings.

Guan Gong arrived at the Yellow River crossing, Qin Qi blocked the road, Guan Gong was furious and said: "Do you know that I killed the interceptor on the road? Qi said: "You only killed an unknown general, do you dare to kill me?" Guan Gong said angrily: "What if you are better than Yan Liang and ugly? Qin Qi was furious, carried a knife on his horse, and took Guan Gong directly. The two horses intersected, only one was together, Guan Gong's knife rose, and Qin Qi's head fell. Guan Gong said: "When my person is dead, the rest of the people don't need to be frightened away." Prepare the boat and send me across the river. ”

From that simple description, it can be seen that Qin Qi has no self-knowledge, and his habits are impetuous, and he can't be stimulated, so Wei Yan found someone to scold him, and after a few casual scoldings, that guy jumped out.

Chen Zhi took the initiative to ask: "Lord, kill chickens with a knife, let the last general go and kill this person!" ”

Wei Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhi, I have a new sword, and I must get the blood of an enemy general!" ”
