Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 116 Linzi ([-])

An army of nearly 40 refugees lined up in a chaotic queue, under the guidance of various forces of the coalition forces.

After two or three days, they finally arrived at Linzi City.

For Wang Zheng, traveling to this era, there should have been no buildings that could make him have such shocking thoughts.

After all, I was used to seeing high-rise buildings in my previous life.

But Linzi still surprised him so much that a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

A prefectural county in ancient times has reached such a point?

He was surprised at this point.

I have never been to this city in person before, but I just took a few glances from a distance, just to get a general idea.

Seeing it clearly now, he really had doubts.

I can only be a history novice, so I naturally don't know what the city of Linzi represents.

Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, this city with developed industry and commerce had occupied the largest and wealthiest throne in the Central Plains for a long time.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, during the time of Duke Huan of Qi, Linzi had more than 20 households with a population of more than [-].

During the Warring States Period, during the reign of King Xuan of Qi, Linzi had more than 50 households, and it is conservatively estimated that the resident population is close to [-] or more.

In the early Western Han Dynasty, it became even more exaggerated.
At that time, Chang'an, the capital city, had only [-] households, while Linzi had a household registration of over [-] and a population of over one million, known as "bigger than Chang'an".

Here, no one who is not the Son of Heaven's beloved son shall be king here!
If it wasn't the emperor's younger brother of the same father and mother, and his beloved son, he wouldn't have been enshrined in Linzi as king.

The richness and majesty of this city can be seen.

Even in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, under the chaotic times, the flames of war invaded and the wars continued, and at its peak, Linzi was already inferior.

But it still retains a lot of elegance of the "Five Capitals of Han Dynasty".

It was also one of the largest cities in the Eastern Han Dynasty and even in the world at this time.

Such a city, even Wang Zheng was amazed, let alone others.

There is also the moat that is nearly 18 meters wide at its widest point, and the city wall that is more than ten meters high.
With such a majestic and majestic appearance, almost all the leaders of the rebel army were shocked except for Xu He who had visited this place many times.

Even well-informed people like Yu Jin Zhang Rao are not immune.

It has been a few days since the capture of Xi'an County, and most of the rebels in Qingzhou have been gathering here during this time.

Xu Xuan from Linzi City is not blind, so he naturally took countermeasures early.

Today, the three city walls facing the north are vaguely filled with all kinds of equipment.

Dense banners, knives, arrows, rolling logs, and rocks.
There are also a dozen of the most frightening trebuchets and bed crossbows.
"Is what we are going to attack... actually such a heavy city?"

It stands to reason that everyone has been educated by Wang Zhengxu and popular science before, so they should be mentally prepared.

It's just that what you hear is not what you hear
Witnessing it is another matter.

The leaders of these rebel forces, although they had some thoughts before, were not completely discouraged.

After all, everyone has broken through more than one city so far.

Speaking of which, in terms of the number of besieged cities alone, Wang Zheng is probably the least of the seven or eight families.

But now.
Before the fight really started, many people were already shaken.

For someone like Chen Jiao who has a keen eye, he even thought that it would be better to attack a few more county towns and bring more refugees to attack again.

It's just that when he made this suggestion with a forced smile, Wang Zheng and Xu He looked at him indifferently at the same time, pretending not to hear.

Chen Jiao didn't dare to speak anymore.

Those four gazes made him feel colder than the shining weapons on the top of the wall.

Seeing this scene, other people also wisely stopped bringing up similar topics.

Under the promotion of Xu He, more than 40 refugees slowly took their positions and tightly encircled Linzi City.

This first step alone took almost a day.

In 221 BC, the Western Qin army marched into Linzi triumphantly, and King Qi surrendered without a fight, which represented the complete end of the Warring States Period.

Since then, the concept of great unification has lasted for thousands of years and penetrated into the soul of every Chinese.

It even brought the only criterion for judging rulers on earth.

Only the monarchs of the celestial dynasty will be evaluated separately by later generations as a unified dynasty and a separate dynasty.

After nearly 400 years, another famous political person led the army, and the soldiers pointed their halberds at Linzi.

The last one, the last time, was the supreme Zulong Supreme.

This one, this time, is a yellow-turban bandit who is as cheap as nothing.

.........

After completing the encirclement, all the forces began to set up their camps in front of the north city wall the next day.

Countless people gathered, and there was an endless stream of carriages and horses.

It was originally a low-quality peasant uprising army, but now seven or eight families are doing their own thing, and the process of arrangement naturally appears chaotic and disorderly.

Coupled with the chaotic banners, uniform clothing, and the noise of countless accents.
With such a large number of people participating, it should have been a grand scene of a mighty conquest.
Today, it is more like a large-scale downtown.

Such a scene fell into the eyes of Xu Xuan and a group of Linzi officials on the top of the city, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the number of 40 people still brought them a lot of pressure, but at this moment, seeing this scene still gave everyone a lot of confidence in defending the city.

It's just that Xu Xuan's face has just softened a little, but when he saw a camp on the left side of the city, he was startled again.

Compared with other places, it is very conspicuous there.

With a messenger galloping back and forth on horseback, all the people were dressed in black or black armor
Even the most ordinary refugees have to wear a black scarf as a mark.

Looking around, it looks like black torrents, converging back and forth until they form a perfect black hole.

After a closer look, Xu Xuan let out an even more surprise, he found more differences here.

Not just uniformity in uniform.

Although the progress of the camp in this area seems to be slow, it is orderly.

The opponent first formed the anti-cavalry trench first, and then placed a row of repelling horses, fence walls, etc. that were made in Guangrao.

The camp is even more exquisite.

At a glance, there are actually six camps, organized from the outside to the inside.

Tianzhu Camp, Tiangang Army, Tianfu Army, Private Camp, Zhao County refugees, Guangrao refugees, etc.
From the outside to the inside, it looks organized.

The other officials were attracted by Xu Xuan's surprise, and they also turned their attention to that place.

The next moment, everyone was equally astonished.

One of the youths dressed as generals changed his complexion instantly!
His name is Li Jiayuan, and he is a captain.

He was also a member of the Yanzhou Army before, but just happened to meet the Qingzhou Uprising Dasheng when Laizi was transporting supplies. At this time, Dong Lin, the county lieutenant, died in battle again, and was forced to stay by Xu Xuan as a savior. Linzi is actually the highest military officer in city defense.

"Li Duwei." This scene fell in Xu Xuan's eyes, and he immediately asked:

"what do you think?"

"This is the so-called reincarnated king thief of General Tiangong." Li Jiayuan glanced at the big flag waving in the wind, and said in a deep voice.

"If this camp is set up by this scorpion, it means that the other party is proficient in military affairs."

As he spoke, he shook his head, seeming to find it quite tricky.

"Proficient in military affairs?"

Hearing this, Xu Xuan was stunned, this evaluation is not low.

"Is it an exaggeration?" He asked: "This Wang Zheng was just a senior before, young and inexperienced, how could he deserve such an evaluation?"

"That means there are other talents under his command!" Li Jiayuan pondered for a moment, then said:
"Seeing the fall of a leaf, you know the end of the year. The arrangement of the camp seems simple, but it is practical. It is not possible to do this by reading some military books."

"This person must have been on the battlefield for a long time and is proficient in military affairs, and"

"And what?"

"The end is uncertain..."

Li Jiayuan hesitated for a while, but decided to tell the truth: "And it's a bit like Cao Zhoumu's army style."

Although the other party didn't say anything, Xu Xuan had already heard the implication, and his expression darkened.

This means that among the Cao army, some generals have already voted for Wang Zheng!
After all, it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to be responsible for arranging camps, so let's not talk about experience.

If it is as expected by Li Jiayuan, then there will be big troubles.

Thousands of troops are easy to get and one general is hard to find.

If there is a general here, the threat of these 40 refugees to Linzi will rise sharply in an instant!
