Chapter 176: Perry Norman
As the capital of the province of Turan, Loulan City is different from the city of Valen in the province of Moxi, and its economic significance is far greater than its military and political significance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The province of Turan was a major province in the northwest like Moxi, but it was most famous for its prosperity.
When Joseph entered the city, he had already found that the specifications of Loulan City seemed to be much larger than Valen City. Its walls were only the height of a normal town, not even as tall as the walls of the county town of Sadland, let alone the ten-meter-tall walls of Valen.
Although in terms of momentum, Loulan City and "military town" are completely inadequate, but the length of its city wall is almost twice as long as the wall of Valun City. To José's surprise, most of the architectural styles of Moxi towns are similar to those of castles in the West, with a tall city head and strong fortifications.
But this Loulan City is similar to those ancient Chinese cities, in addition to a main gate, there is a small gate on both sides of the city wall, there are soldiers inside and outside the door to guard and investigate, and the passing merchants and passers-by are also endless.
Such a familiar style made Qiao Se a little kind, and couldn't help but look at the Loulan city wall and whispered: "This Loulan City is not like a northwest town, but like a commercial distribution center, this city wall that is more than ten miles long and so many city gates, at first glance it is a prosperous big city, and the commerce and trade here are probably much more prosperous than Valen City!"
Su Ya was at the front at the front and parallel to the courteous governor, and Perry, who was on Jose's side, heard this, his eyes showed a little surprise, and he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Master Jose, listening to your tone, I know these things very well, didn't I hear about some small pieces of Loulan City, and I just brawn about it here?"
Jose gave the cold-faced man a blank look, since the last time he ambushed Barcellus, this guy's attitude towards himself has softened a bit. However, he still doesn't seem to like himself very much, and he puts on a cold face when he has nothing to do, but José is almost getting used to his character.
Hearing him say this, José smiled and said, "It's just my own opinion, the walls are low and wide, and there are many gates, which is undoubtedly a symbol of the prosperity of the city." The military location of Loulan City is not important, and the scale of such a huge city can only be explained by the reason of commercial prosperity. ”
"However, although such a town is prosperous, it also hides huge hidden dangers!" Qiao Se smiled slightly, as if casually said: "It is convenient for merchants to travel through many city gates, but if it is facing the enemy army attacking the city, such a town design is undoubtedly a disaster!"
Perry frowned, looked at Jose with some surprise, and couldn't help but squint his eyes: "Go on!"
"When there are many city gates, there will naturally be more troops to defend, and if one city gate is breached, the enemy army can drive straight in. Moreover, because of the lengthening of this wall, it is very low, and it is easy to be breached. If a large city does not have enough troops to hold on, it is like a fluffy loaf of bread, which can be pierced with a spoon without any sharp blade. ”
When Perry heard this, his expression returned to calm, after all, he was born in the military, and he naturally knew this truth. It's just that seeing that Jose, a magician, can talk so calmly, but there is a little more surprise in my heart for this guy.
He suddenly stared into Joseph's eyes and said with a sigh: "Joseph, now I begin to believe that the Macedonian prince was killed by you!"
When Joseph heard him say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately glared at him with some dissatisfaction: "You guy...... Did you think that everything I said was false?!"
"Yes!" replied Perry without changing his color, and when Jose heard him say this, he didn't even bother to roll his eyes, and simply closed his mouth and didn't look at the fellow.
"But you guy can say this temporarily, so you didn't mean to say it to me. Thinking about it this way, what you said earlier about holding on to Boulder Town and repelling the Macedonian siege is probably true...... Don't look at me like that, you know, as a magician, you can know so many military things, which is a bit suspicious. Even if the commander of the garrison and this Hu Cong Gould of yours said, I'm afraid there are not a few generals of the Moxi Army who doubt your ability!"
Jose was originally a little dissatisfied in his heart, but when he heard Perry say this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "So, now you have some faith that I killed Farouci?"
Perry heard José say this, but he didn't say a word. The cold-faced man was silent for a moment, but his eyes suddenly revealed a trace of essence: "Jose, you said, there are so many shortcomings in the military of this Loulan City, haven't the successive governors and generals discovered its problems?"
Perry's question made Jose a little stunned, he thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said slowly: "Loulan City's military strength is lax because it doesn't need to defend against any foreign enemies at all, after all, there is a Moxi Province to the west, as well as Valen City, and Moxi Pass!"
"However, if Moxi Pass also falls, Valen City will also be in the hands of the enemy......! And what about it?"
Jose couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, and his eyes were a little more strange when he looked at Perry: "I don't understand what you mean?"
Perry shook his head, looking very leisurely, suddenly looked back at Jose, and said slowly, "It's not interesting...... Moxi Tulan is one with each other, and the situation in the northwest has always been a matter of affecting the whole body. I'm just thinking about what those guys from the Imperial War Department think, there are some things that are really scary the more I think about them......"
After Perry said this, he ignored Joseph's reaction and rode straight forward, leaving Josse and Gould on the side. Jose looked at Perry's back, and suddenly felt a little more surprised: it seems that this cold-faced man is not as simple as it seems, but he has seen these things thoroughly!
Thinking of this, José suddenly thought of something, and asked Gould on the side: "By the way, do you know the origin of this guy Perry? He is also a general in the Central Army, and I heard that he has something to do with Su Ya, so he should also be a child of a certain big family, right?"
The fat man frowned, couldn't help but touch his head, and said helplessly: "It's been seven or eight years since I left the Central Army, and this Perry looks like he's only twenty years old, where did I know the resume of this young man at that time?"
When Jose heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, and was thinking about going back and asking Su Ya to see if he could ask the details of this Perry. The fat man, who was meditating the side, suddenly patted his head, as if he remembered something, and hurriedly said to Joseph:
"Boss Jose, I remember, if you have any relationship with Duke Casa, you can enter the Central Army as a deputy commander at such a young age. I'm afraid there is only one man, the only son of the Norman Duke in the current imperial capital, Perry Norman!" (To be continued.) )
