C283 Da ci lu (1/2)
After walking around the Baozhou City for an entire day and night, Jiang Xiaobai had already wanted to go in to take a look.
Coincidentally, there was a free tour guide here, which prevented him from messing around inside.
”Master Bao thinks that I should enter the city?” Chang Zilong said: ”Does Master Bao think that they have prepared the starting fee?”
”Not necessarily.” Jiang Xiaobai said: ”Anyways, let's go in and meet up with that governor or whatever, it's best if he gives us the money, even if he doesn't, we will set off on schedule.”
”Zi Long, listen to Master Bao!” Chang Bubai said: ”Master Bao is a man of great dao, he told you to go, then go, don't ask about that mess.”
”Then I'll make a trip!” Chang Zilong said to the messenger, ”Tell him to come over, I will go out immediately!”
Give me a set of soldier's clothes, I'll be your personal soldier!” ”Jiang is now wearing a guard uniform for the granary along with a modern outfit that looks out of place.
”I dare not, I, Master Bao will follow your lead!” Chang Zilong bowed and the famous person went to put on a set of clothes for the soldiers.
Although it was the cleanest set of clothing, it also had a rotten smell to it. Furthermore, it had a few holes in it, making it feel extremely shabby after wearing it.
Chang Zilong was even better. He actually had a set of chain mail, leather battle boots and a black cape. He immediately had the domineering aura of a soldier.
Aside from Jiang Xiaobai, Chang Zilong also chose two more Janitor s. Four people riding the four horses that he only had left the camp.
Outside the camp, the three governor's men were already impatient from waiting. ”Master Chang, why are you so slow?”
”Arrange some military affairs!” Chang Zilong cupped his fists and said: ”The three of you, please lead the way!”
”Let's go!” Seven people and seven horses immediately galloped violently across the dirt road.
The distance from here to the west gate of Baozhou City was only five kilometers.
The vermillion gate, the towering wall, the unfathomably deep moat, the flaunts on the wall, and the guards all lined up in a straight line. Their auras were simply incomparable to that of the Yi Zhou City.
Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh. In the era of cold weapons, wanting to take over a city like this was definitely not an easy thing to do.
Looking through history, however, the city walls seemed to have no effect as Baozhou City encountered many wars.
The key was still there. Even if a group of soldiers with no fighting spirit were to raise the city walls by another ten feet, they would still not be able to stop them.
On the way here, Chang Zilong gave a brief introduction of Baozhou City.
The city walls were three zhang tall, and the top was three zhang wide. They formed a strict square, each side was two hundred and forty zhang long, with four city gates and two water gates. The Great Qing River wound around the city, making it easy to defend, but hard to attack.
Using the four gates as the starting point, the two main streets divided the Baozhou City into four equal parts. The northeast was the location of the prefecture, the northwest was the residential area for the wealthy families, the southeast was the city square, and the southwest was the residential area for the commoners.
Upon entering the west gate, one would have to step onto the broadest and most prosperous street known as Yuhua Street.
Although it was morning, the streets were crowded with people, all kinds of breakfast hawkers shouting at the top of their lungs. Rice, food, wine, cloth, rouge and powder were sold everywhere. Most of the pedestrians were carefree, even the wild dogs eating leftovers at the end of the street were rotund.
Jiang Xiaobai was a little emotional. Wasn't it only a year since the war ended?
They were about to set off, and war was about to break out at Yi Zhou City that was just a hair's breadth away, why couldn't they see the tense atmosphere before the battle at all?
