Although Luoyang New City has been rebuilt on a selected site, the site of the old city has not been completely abandoned and abandoned, but cleaned and repaired according to the original city foundation framework, as the base camp of the king in Heluo. If the local guards in Luoyang are not sent to guard abroad, as well as the troops who are ordered to be transferred from outside, they will all be repaired and trained here.

The old city of Luoyang has been operated by the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the scale is also very large, and now it is used as a camp, and it has become a huge camp that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops. Since its completion, this military city has not been fully garrisoned.

Half of the original old city was used as a camp for sergeants and a school for daily exercises. The other half is used as a storage armory, as well as a temporary residence for military families.

In addition, there are several large-scale reclamation areas around the old city, which are used for the daily consumption of the soldiers in the city. After several years of operation and establishment, the various properties around the old Los Angeles alone are enough to support an army of 50,000.

In the middle of September, the transfer of sergeants from all sides reached a peak period, and the officers and men of Hanoi, Yuzhou and other countries also arrived in Luoyang one after another. When the military period approached, the number of soldiers from all walks of life gathered in the old city of Luoyang alone reached more than 60,000.

After the armies entered Luo, they each settled in the camps divided in the old Luocheng, and such a large-scale mobilization was rarely noticed even by many of the people who had settled in Luoyang. Military discipline is orderly, not at all like the riots of other forces that are bound to fly and jump whenever there is a band.

After Huan Xuan and his entourage passed Yique, they did not stop, changed to the good horses provided by the soldiers along the way, and went straight to Luo.

The person in charge of receiving them was Huan Chong, the second son of Huan Xuan, who was engaged in the General's Mansion, and Cao Peng, a few Jingxiang scholars, originally prepared a small banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, but when he learned that the general had moved to the old city barracks, Huan Xuan no longer wasted time and went west directly.

The soldiers of Xiangyang were not lacking in estrangement from Xingtai, and in the past, Xingtai did not have an order to mobilize them to enter Luogongwei, so they rarely had the experience of walking Heluo. This time when they went north to worship, when they saw the huge military city, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

This military city completely encompasses the original old city of Luoyang, and its scale is simply breathtaking, even far more than their self-beautiful Xiangyang City. Especially after hearing Huan Cong's introduction that 60,000 soldiers had gathered in the military city, these people couldn't help but widen their eyes and were completely speechless.

Although they are also known for their heroic strength, such a powerful mobilization scale and mobilization intensity have far exceeded the military strategic cognition they have formed before, and it is not a volume level at all compared to their previous military operations!

"This military city is divided into four walls, and among the four walls, there are six cities in each side, and each city can accommodate more than enough soldiers......"

Born with admiration for strength and strength, Huan Cong has only been in the General's Mansion for more than a year, but he is already deeply proud to be among them. While leading the way, he introduced the huge layout of this military city to everyone, and after seeing the unconcealable shock on everyone's faces, he felt deeply honored.

Although the entire military city was built according to the old city foundation, it was not as simple as erecting a fence around the ruins. Nearly two miles away from Waiguo is the fortified clear field, which is separated from the countryside by several bottomless trenches, and the soldiers can only enter and exit it through some Piba pontoon bridges.

At both ends of these passages, each has a military village of considerable scale standing, in addition to the guards, there is a tall arrow tower in the military wall, and under the arrow tower is laid a smooth masonry track, the track is strictly set up with three layers of horse rejection, and after the horse is rejected, the heavy weapons such as the thunder car crossbow that has been spread all over the north and south have been erected.

Under such strict defense, it can be seen that if you want to attack the military city from the outside, it is very difficult, and you must fill it with a large number of lives, and there may be a chance of success.

Within the moat line, fences were used to divide areas of various sizes, which were probably the daily training areas of the army in the city. When Huan Xuan and the others arrived, there was still a light cavalry team of nearly 1,000 people practicing drum and bugle drills in the area, the sound of horses' hooves was thick and neat, and with the flag order or stopping or rushing, the ground was trampled flat like a mirror by iron hooves!

"The battalion is a daily exercise, there is a capture the flag competition or a polo and juju battle every ten years, the winner has his own reward, the officer accumulates merits, and the non-commissioned officers can also be promoted to the ...... of the four armies."

Huan Cong had the consciousness of a conscientious guide, and pointed to the school grounds outside the city and introduced: "The general is sympathetic to the morale, because he exercises in the middle of every month, and he is not strict about practicing every day......

Is this called compassionate morale?

The generals of Xiangyang couldn't help but sigh again and again when they heard this, they were all in charge of the military, and they also understood that elite soldiers could only be cultivated by strong training and frequent warfare.

But even so, in the case of no war, it is already a level of training that only the soldiers under his command can have, and as for the other troops, they can gather and train hastily some time before the battle, and they can already queue up for battle if they can understand the drum command.

It's not that they are sympathetic to the hard work of the soldiers and are kind to maintaining manpower, but because the soldiers have training, the consumption of all kinds of materials should also be doubled, like the most basic consumption of grain and grass, and they can be fed every meal if they are lazy and on call every day. However, if the training is too heavy, the food must not be cut off, otherwise the soldiers will collapse before they can fight.

Huan Cong is also close to standing, and he has lived in Xiangyang with his father for a long time in his early years, so he naturally understands the huge disparity between the treatment of these township tyrants and the Luoyang Wangshi, and now he has to say it so ordinarily, mainly to give these people a dismount. After all, their father and son also have frequent communications, and they have long complained about the arrogance of these fierce generals, and they are happy to suppress their arrogance.

The group dismounted, and passed through the passage cut by the fence to arrive at the city of Sucheng in the south wall. The architectural pattern of Sucheng is much stricter than that of Xinchengfang, and from time to time there are armor soldiers paraded on the two-zhang high city wall, and the pedestrians feel depressed in the city wall, and they don't even dare to shout loudly.

After turning a section of the city wall, the vision suddenly opened up, and what I saw was a barracks within a radius of miles, and the barracks in the barracks were lined up, and a large number of armor staff and ordnance were stored. The soldiers who lived in the city were not equipped with armament, and they were all concentrated here.

The most eye-catching thing in the armament camp is the platoon of ironclad military vehicles, this style of military vehicles, those Xiangyang generals are no strangers, they even bought a few privately, and also wanted to reorganize their subordinates into some chariots for small-scale battles.

However, the cost of chariot formation is too high, and the cost of a single chariot can arm hundreds of ordinary soldiers, plus the rationing of guns, guns, heavy crossbows and other weapons, which is not something that they can afford to play.

But now there are nearly 100 chariots in the armament camp alone, and all kinds of rations are also loaded on the carriages in an orderly manner, and what they see in front of them alone is enough to arm three to five thousand elite troops!

In particular, what Huan Cong said was that there were more than a dozen similar weapons camps in the entire military city, and it was even more shocking that his breathing stopped. And although Huan Cong said this is not an exaggeration, it is really a bit of a bully that these people have not seen the taste of the market.

In fact, such a heavy use of strong weapons does not exist much in the current military city, but it can arm the stock of tens of thousands of people. Because a considerable part of the equipment has been transferred to Tongguan to be used, and these strong weapons are the savings of the north and south manpower and materials in the north and south, and the savings of several years of operation, naturally they are not comparable to Xiangyang District.

Huan Cong led these people around the city of Nanyuan for more than half of the time, and then led them to the place where the general was located.

And after seeing the powerful and rich heritage of the Xingtai Wangshi, these people have no arrogance on their faces, even if they have not seen the general, they have become extremely deferential, and they are glad that they are not standing on the opposite side of the Xingtai. Regardless of the bravery of each other's sergeants for the time being, if all the heavy weapons accumulated by the king's division were put into the battlefield, it would be enough to destroy them more than a dozen times.

In fact, not only these generals were shocked, but Huan Xuan was also full of emotion in his heart after seeing the background of many kings. Although he also came to worship at the beginning of the establishment of Xingtai, he came and went in a hurry, and later even if he was introduced by his son's letter, he finally heard about it in vain, and only when he saw it with his own eyes did he know how much the king had grown in the past few years.

The group went into the tent to pay a visit, but they were told by the soldiers under the tent that the general had entered the city to inspect the army. So they went to the city again under the guidance of their own soldiers, and finally caught up with the general in an open school field.

As soon as he entered the school grounds, Huan Xuan found General Shen wearing bright silver armor and surrounded by all the generals. However, the arrival of these people did not attract the attention of everyone in the school field, because there were rows of ordnance erected in the center of the school field where General Shen Da was erected, and it seemed that they were practicing the power of ordnance.

So Huan Xuan and the others were no longer in a hurry to come forward to salute, but followed behind the team and looked forward to the central position.

The row of ordnance in the center of the field looks similar to a normal trebuchet, but on closer inspection, it is a little different. The ordinary trebuchet carries stones at the end of the tip, and the tail of the tip is tied to the rope, and the stone is thrown out by human drag and the tip arm guide.

However, although the end of the trebuchet erected there is also a stone, there is no rope at the end of the tip, but it is equipped with a huge basket, which is not full of what is loaded, and it is raised high.

Huan Xuan and the others looked at the back position, and they couldn't see the specific structure of this ordnance very clearly, but they only heard a round of drums and trumpets, and then they heard a crackling sound in front of them, and then they saw that the arms were flying, and the boulder had been thrown far away.

Almost within breath, Huan Xuan and the others saw that the wall buttresses made of bricks and stones in the distance opposite were hit by flying stones one after another, and thunder and tremors continued to sound in their ears. A moment later, the high stacked target was gone, and only a large cloud of smoke and dust rose in place!

"This general's cannon can fire heavy arrows, the range is longer, and the manpower is simplified, and it is used for siege warfare on another day, and the strong crossbow has not reached me, and I have been surrounded by a hundred cannons, and I am indestructible!"

There was a cheer and admiration on the school ground, and the generals behind Huan Xuan saw the power of this powerful weapon for the first time, and their expressions became even paler. (https:)
