The group walked for about half an hour, and they could already see a tall and majestic city gate tower in the distance. Hot Book Pavilion // It is the south gate of Yingtian City, which is located in the treasure gate between the Qinhuai River.

Seeing that the city gate tower here was tall and majestic, it was no better than the Zhengyang Gate where he entered the city, and he couldn't help but be very interested, and pointed to the city gate tower and asked, "Can you go up to the high place to have a look?" ”

Zhu Quan was instructed by Zhu Yuanzhang last night to accompany him, not to lose the bearing of the Ming Dynasty, and thought in his heart that if you are not allowed to visit anywhere, it will seem that our little family is angry. Thinking about this, he agreed with his head and ordered the palace soldiers to go towards Jubaomen.

When he was able to walk in front of the city gate, Manra Hafisi couldn't help but secretly marvel. I saw that the walls of the city were built with huge stones and huge bricks, and they were very strong. The width of the city base is more than four zhang, and the height of the city wall is about five zhang to more than seven zhang. This treasure gate has a total of three urn cities, which are connected by four ticket gates, the first city gate is as high as three zhang, and there is a horse road to ride a horse to the city. Each door has a jack gate that can be activated up and down and a double wooden door. There are 13 Tibetan caves up and down the urn city, and 14 Tibetan caves under the left and right horse roads, which can store military supplies and ambush soldiers in wartime, and it is estimated that it can accommodate two or three thousand people.

Manra Hafisi entered the Ming Dynasty from the northwest, and also rested in some cities along the way, and was particularly concerned about the city gates, which were the key points of attacking and defending the city. Seeing that the Jubaomen of Yingtian, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, was completely different from other cities, he couldn't help but be curious, pointed to the urn city and asked, "I saw such fortresses in the other city gates of the Ming Dynasty that were all built outside the city walls, why was only this Yingtian built inside the city gates?" He was a veteran of Timur's battles, so he could naturally see that this urn city was a fortress that was greatly beneficial to the defenders.

Zhu Quan had also been to Beiping, and even resisted the siege of the Yuan army with Lan Yu in Gyeongju City. As long as the city gate tower is not lost, once the jack gate opened up and down falls, hundreds of enemies who have entered the city will be killed, and even thousands of enemies will be killed by bows and arrows on the city wall, as well as the reserve forces of the hidden soldiers in the urn city, only to be annihilated. It's a pity that this is a military secret, but I have no obligation to explain it to you so clearly, thinking of this, he smiled and said, "This kind of city construction is the responsibility of the Ministry of Works, and this king is not very good." ”

Seeing Zhu Quan's words flickering, Manra Hafeisi secretly hated in his heart, but he was also helpless.

The city gate tower is a heavily guarded place for soldiers, and non-ordinary people can play at will. The Ming army Qianhu, who was responsible for leading the guards, had already been informed by the soldiers of the palace, and His Royal Highness the King of Ning accompanied the foreign envoys to come, and he hurriedly led his two hundred households from the city.

If you say that on the long street, Manrahafisi is only amazed by the prosperity of Yingtian, then when you stand on the city wall several feet high and look down on the city, you can't help but be shocked by the dense flow of people on those streets, endlessly, and there is no end in sight. At this time, the sky is clear, the field of vision is very good, looking at the south vaguely is the Zhengyang Gate that he walked when he entered the city, a wide street like a central axis stretches from Zhengyang Gate to the Forbidden City where the emperor of the Ming Dynasty lived, which is like the location of the city in the city. The outer Qinhuai River, which is used as a moat outside the city wall, is dozens of zhang wide. To build such a large population and a complex defense system, I really don't know how much manpower and material resources need to be used? It was far beyond his imagination.

Zhu Quan glanced at Manra Hafeisi, and couldn't help but feel very complacent in his heart, secretly thinking that Old Man Zhu listened to the advice of the strategist Zhu Sheng twenty years ago, adopted the strategy of "building a high wall", used countless manpower and material resources, and spent about 20 years to build this Yingtian City. Today, not to mention that the whole of China, that is, the whole world, is also the number one big city in terms of population and city size. The small towns of your nomadic tribes can only be described as ruins and ruins in the impregnable Yingtian.

Walking on the city wall, Zhu Quan saw those neat and square, square blue bricks engraved with seal, li, Wei, Kai, line characters, vaguely some names of people and places, couldn't help but be a little puzzled, turned his head to the side of the Ming army Qianhu and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Although Manrahafis didn't know the meaning of the words on the city bricks, he was also aroused by curiosity when he heard the words, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the thousand households.

Seeing His Royal Highness King Ning asking, Qianhu replied slightly, "I have also heard in the past that His Majesty the Emperor in the past had decreed that after the bricks and bricks of the city are molded, they must be engraved with the names of the officials responsible for supervising the construction of this section of the city wall and the craftsmen who burn the bricks, so as not to make defective products." ”

After listening to the translation, Manra Hafisi realized that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was simply nitpicking about the requirements for burning bricks and building a city, and he couldn't help but secretly speak.

Zhu Quan sighed secretly when he heard this, thinking that such a huge project as building the city wall would cost a huge amount of financial resources, and in order to avoid the deception of the construction officials, the craftsmen who burned the bricks were shoddy. With this kind of real-name accountability system, if the officials and craftsmen who supervised the construction at the beginning made something go wrong with the city wall, they were afraid that it would be difficult to preserve the heads of the family.

Walking along the city for a while, looking at the far side of the city, there is an open place covered by a wall, and there is a shadow of a person, as if they are playing the formation of soldiers.

Manra Hafisi turned his head to Zhu Quan and said, "Is this the place where the soldiers defending the city of your country practice?" ”

Zhu Quan bowed slightly, confirming the other party's inquiry.

"The cavalry of my Timurid Khanate has never been defeated in the Western Regions. I wonder how many Han soldiers you are waiting for can be a Timurid knight for me? The curly-haired man beside Manra Hafeisi suddenly said coldly, and as he spoke, he looked at the Ming army on Zhu Quan's side and the soldiers stationed at the head of the city, with a little contempt on his face.

After Zhu Quan understood it, not only did his face turn cold, but when he was about to speak, he heard Qin Zhuofeng, the master beside him, say lightly: "You Timur have heroes in the country, don't I have a good man in Han?" The old man would like to see what amazing means your Timurid knights have? Although his tone of voice was light, he secretly used his internal force, except for Zhu Quan and Xu Ying, who practiced internal strength and were not yet conscious, the rest of the people nearby were faintly buzzing in their ears.

Manra Hafisi fingered the curly-haired man and said, "This is my brother Haksu, who was given the title of Jebe by the Sultan. "As he spoke, his mood was very complicated. He knew that the reason why his monarch Timur had sent him here was to understand the country called the Ming Dynasty, and most importantly, to understand its strength and the strength of its army. Although Hakesu looks rough and arrogant, he is not a reckless person, and Fangcai's arrogant tone is not intentional, but intends to provoke Zhu Quan to take the two of them to the school military field to watch the Ming army drill. Such duels were a common occurrence in the Western Regions, and even if it was his own sultan Timur, there was no excuse to prevent the warriors of the two tribes from dueling.

Zhu Quan turned his head and smiled at Manrahafisi, "Then let's go to the school military field and see the real chapter under our hands." ”

When Zhu Quan and his entourage of dozens of people came to the wide school military field, they saw a young man dressed as a thousand households of the Jinwuwei Forbidden Army who was leading more than 1,000 forbidden soldiers to leave the school field and return to the Forbidden City.

When the thousands of households saw that it was Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, who led the crowd to arrive, they hurriedly dismounted to greet the salute, but it was Fu Rang, the second son of Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo.

When the gate of the school military field was not closed, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in everyone's ears, mixed with foul language and scolding, and the Ming sergeants who were in charge of guarding the school military field hurriedly moved out of the way. Dozens of war horses rushed in, and a general with scars on his face and wearing armor led dozens of fierce soldiers to the field, but it was Zhu Quan's sworn enemy, Liangguo Gong Lanyu.

Zhu Quan saw that Lan Yu, an uninvited guest, came uninvited, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Lan Yu, the number one tyrant in Yingtian City, is also here, if the people of your Timurid country want to fight alone and then have a group fight, they don't have to worry about finding an opponent, thinking of this, they can't help but look at a few entourages who are following Manrahafisi's side.

Although Lan Yu is the famous Duke of Liangguo, he is doing very poorly. The father and son of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty died, the barbarian son of the Taiwei of the Yuan Dynasty died, and even the high-ranking officials of the Tartars of Wang Baobao's younger brother Timur obediently surrendered. The days when there was no Tartar army to crusade made him feel very boring, the days of staring at the temple with a group of rotten Confucians on weekdays made him extremely tired, and the endless loss made him miss the scene of the former commander army stepping on the Golden Horde, especially the cold wind on the grassland.

Lan Yu rode his horse a few steps away, turned over and dismounted, and saw Zhu Quan and Manra Hafeisi.

On top of the solemn and solemn edict banquet, Manra Hafeisi naturally wouldn't notice Lan Yu. But at this moment, seeing the awe-inspiring murderous aura on Lan Yu and the guards behind him from Wang Erhu down, the intuition of fighting since childhood all told them that this group of men with fierce momentum, infinite hostility and ruthlessness in their eyes were also like them, and they had experienced countless tragic and abnormal bloody battles.

In the past, when fishing on the seaside, the Ming army captured the envoy of Timur. Lan Yu knew that this Turkic cripple named Timur claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan, and his heart was naturally full of hostility towards him. In his opinion, all those who claimed to be the descendants of Temujin were the mortal enemies of the Ming Dynasty. After hearing Ma Sanbao's story, after learning that Qin Zhuofeng intended to compete with this Tartar man, he couldn't help laughing at Qin Zhuofeng and said, "After the flag is won, Lan will be the host, and the old man Qin will have a drunken rest." "When he attacked Gyeongju at night in the past, he had Qin Zhuofeng's help. Although he didn't like Ning Wang Zhu Quan in his heart, he was on his spleen and stomach, a master who was bold and bold, and his sex was like fire.

Although Manra Hafeisi does not know martial arts, he is also a well-informed person, and at this time, he naturally already saw that Qin Zhuofeng is by no means an easy person, and asked with a little hesitation, "What are the rules of martial arts?" ”

Qin Zhuofeng thought to himself that the desert flying eagle Tuoyu of the Oirat tribe in the past was only on par, knowing that these alien races may not be the land of the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, since he first saw Hakesu in Honglu Temple, he had already paid special attention to him. I had already seen that this person did not know how to do kung fu, and knew that if he did not let the other party use the best riding and archery skills, he was afraid that it would be difficult to convince him, so he turned his head to Ma Sanbao and said, "You tell him, let this kid ride a horse and shoot arrows, and the old man will just deal with it with his bare hands." ”

Haksu held his own riding and ejaculated, and after hearing it clearly, he couldn't help but rush and said angrily, "Are you looking for death by yourself?" ”

Manra Hafisi was far more cunning than Haksu, but when he heard this, he was not angry, and said coldly, "Why don't you two sides ride horses and shoot with bows?" He knew very well that the art of Haksu cavalry and archery was famous in the country of Timur, and such a comparison could be said to be invincible.

Zhu Quan sneered when he heard this, and secretly scolded in his heart, You are an old treacherous and cunning, although the master is strong in martial arts. Riding and archery can't compare with you and other nomadic tribes who grew up on horseback since childhood, if one chases and flees, let you shoot the bow and arrow randomly, but how can you win? The thought in his heart changed sharply, and he had an idea, and said loudly, "It's better to take thirty steps as a limit, and Haksu will rush towards my master on a horse, and he can shoot three arrows." Isn't your brother called Jebe? If you miss three arrows, you will be considered defeated. ”

Manrakhafiz was hesitating, but he heard Haksu shout, "That's it. ”

With a wave of Lan Yu's hand, one of his own soldiers took a war horse, rolled his eyes, and handed the reins to Haksu angrily.

After Haksu turned over and got on his horse, he galloped around the school yard in the morning, and rode his horse to a horse about dozens of paces away.

Qin Zhuofeng was bare-handed, slowly walked to about thirty steps away from the other party, and beckoned to the other party.

Haksu clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and in an instant, he saw the gray horse instantly churning with its hooves, rushing straight towards Qin Zhuofeng.

Qin Zhuo Fengyuan stood solemnly on the ground like a mountain, silently watching the other party's movements. The hard bow that the opponent carried on his body was far larger than that of the Yuan army knights, more than a foot long, and it was obvious that the shooting power was definitely stronger than that of ordinary bows and arrows.

As the Jebe of the country of Timur, Haksu was by no means a reckless and unwise person, but he did not open his bow when he rode forward, and he had to rush to a place five feet away from the opponent, and shot an arrow with great speed under the flip of his wrist, and went straight to the opponent's chest. He knew that the other party dared to face his strong bow with empty hands, and he must have an amazing method, so he waited until he was close before he opened his bow and released the arrow, intending to catch the opponent by surprise.
