Yelu Jing naturally knew that the western front was blocked and the Liao coalition front collapsed, but now it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he could only go to the end in one way, and the 150,000 Liao army immediately pursued in the direction of Qianzhou.

The city of Qianzhou is located south of the Great Wall, with the Great Wall to the north and the sea to the east. After four days of rushing, Baili Wuji and Chai Rong led their respective personal guards to Qianzhou City.

Chai Rong had been to Qianzhou before, but it was not at all what it is now, and there were almost no traces of the original Qianzhou City. The castle was rebuilt in its entirety.

The newly built city wall is not high, up and down one zhang, but the wall is very thick, it is estimated that there is a zhang thick, twenty miles square Qianzhou City, the people in the city have already moved to the south of Luozhou.

The people walking around the streets are not only soldiers, but also merchants, and traders who make war money.

These days, the Great Wall, not far from the north gate of Qianzhou, has been attacked by the 100,000-strong army of the Liao army Yeluti no less than dozens of times, but the city of Qianzhou has not been affected by the war in the slightest, and it is still operating in an orderly manner.

There were dozens of Ming army generals who came to greet Baili Wuji. As the leading general, Chai Rong has never seen it, but he only sees that this person is not very old, and judging from his clothes, he is already at the top of the Ming army.

Chai Rong was about to ask Baili Wuji, but Baili Wuji had already turned his head and introduced him to Chai Rong: "Second brother, this is General Peng Xiaopeng, the commander of my Ming State Naval Division. ”

He also introduced to Peng Xiao and said: "Pingliao, pay tribute to the Emperor of Zhou." ”

Peng Xiao saluted Chai Rong and said, "The foreign minister greets the Emperor of Zhou. ”

Chai Rong accepted this salute, and he said, "I heard my brother call you Pingliao." The word Pingliao is a word? ”

Peng Xiao smiled: "Yes." ”

"It was given to you by your emperor?"

"Yes."

"When was it given to you?"

"It's been many years, I remember when the emperor was still the king of Chu."

Chai Rong turned his head to Baili Wuji and said: "My brother is thoughtful, and he has laid out this bureau for ten years. Rong was deeply impressed. ”

Baili Wuji said modestly: "The second brother is polite. In the eyes of Baili Wuji, in this world, there is no more Chai Rong's evaluation of himself that can lead to his own pride.

Baili Wuji turned his head to Peng Xiao and asked, "All kinds of matters, can they be arranged?" ”

"Go back to the emperor. Everything was arranged according to plan. ”

"Good." Baili Wuji was determined in his heart, turned his head to Chai Rong and said, "Come." Second brother, I can let you know now. What kind of trap did I set up in Qianzhou, so that Yelujing took the initiative to jump. ”

I inspected Qianzhou City around it, and even got into the city wall. Then. Chai Rong understood why Baili Wuji had so much confidence to dare to fight 400,000 with 100,000.

If the formation of a new army consumed half of the treasury of the Ming State, then the city of Qianzhou was the other half.

Several battles with the Liao army. Baili Wuji deeply felt the difficulty of annihilating the Liao cavalry. The northern territory is vast, and if you really want to send a large army to the north, you really don't know how long this battle will last.

Therefore, Baili Wuji could only make a dangerous move, trying to lead the Liao army to Qianzhou, and finish his work in one battle. In this way, even if the Liao State cannot be destroyed, the main force of the Liao State can be destroyed in Qianzhou. At least for decades, the Liao State can't slow down this breath.

Baili Wuji has put a lot of effort into this city. Even stopped the construction of naval ships, and over the years, all the steel output of the Ming Kingdom was put into Qianzhou City in addition to meeting the necessary needs.

The twenty-mile-square city wall has three floors, each floor is equipped with musketeers, and on the city wall, it includes all the artillery of the Ming Kingdom, 1,200 five-inch cannons, 2,400 four-inch cannons, a total of 3,600 guns.

There are only two gates in this city, the east and south gates, in order to be convenient for transportation. The artillery and musketeers were concentrated at the west and north gates, and the 3,600 guns were concentrated on the two city walls, and the density had reached its peak.

In Chai Rong's opinion, these black whirring iron bumps are all piles of iron money, since he ascended the throne, he has not had a lot of money at hand, and the tight days in the past few years are not as good as when his father-in-law Guo Wei was alive, making a festival to make it more relaxed.

Chai Rong sighed in his heart, but he didn't understand very much, Baili Wuji had so many good things, why didn't he just take them out and use them on the battlefield on the Western Front, why was he so passive as he was now.

Baili Wuji seemed to see Chai Rong's doubts, and explained: "Second brother, each of these cannons is more than 1,000 catties at the light and 3,000 catties at the heavy, just imagine how to send them to the battlefield where they are needed?" The inconvenience of transportation is the biggest obstacle, so I thought of a way, sea freight. As you can see, the construction of such a small city twenty miles square alone cost me 50,000 men and a year of countless ships transporting it. ”

Baili Wuji turned his head and said: "Actually, the current problems are all focused on the road, the road is passed, the army is coming, and the army is peaceful. ”

Chai Rong nodded when he heard this, and fell into deep thought.

Baili Wuji didn't want Chai Rong to think about it, and said, "Second brother, you look at the ditch outside the city again." ”

Chai Rong heard the words and looked outside the city, and saw that there was a river three or four feet wide one mile away along the Qianzhou city wall, saying that it was a river, it was a little cold, because there was no water in it, and it was not deep, and a medium man jumped down, and the depth was chest-high.

Chai Rong replied hesitantly, "Is this a moat?" ”

Baili Wuji shook his head and said, "Second brother, look." Turning his head to Peng Xiao, he ordered: "Order the trench musketeers to enter combat readiness." ”

Peng Xiao immediately ordered. As a result, in the midst of the figures, the trenches were densely covered with Ming soldiers.

Baili Wuji said to Chai Rong: "This is a trench, not a moat. In this way, no matter how far or near the Liao army is, high or short, the firepower of the Ming army can reach them. ”

Chai Rong has opened his eyes today, perhaps, only with a solid family background like Mingguo can Baili Wuji be so unscrupulously "tossed". But I have to say that if the Liao army really dares to come, it will be a dead end, Qianzhou City has been transformed by Baili Wuji into a hedgehog with a straight stab, as long as you dare to approach, you will be pierced and bleeding.

……。

A day later, Chen Yanzheng led 50,000 Ming troops to Qianzhou City. When Chen Yanzheng saw this city, his expression was no different from Chai Rong, as the supreme commander of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, he didn't know that Baili Wuji had transformed Qianzhou City to such an unrecognizable state. He just accepted the order and ordered him and his soldiers not to inquire about the relocation of the state, in Chen Yanzheng's mind, he thought that this might just be a place to hoard weapons for hundreds of miles, but the current scene made Chen Yanzheng dumbfounded.

Baili Wuji ordered Chen Yanzheng to hoard 50,000 Ming troops in the north of Qianzhou City, and strictly ordered not to go to war without orders. (To be continued......)
