Chapter 168 Pingxia City was built

Ten days ago!

Fan Zheng looked at the huge Pingxia City construction site in front of him and couldn't help but feel shocked.

Countless civilians were busy working non-stop. In just over ten days, the walls of Pingxia City were already more than ten feet high.

"I've met Lord Supervisor!" Zhong Pu and Yang Weizhong looked at the young Lord Supervisor in front of them with complicated expressions.

The two of them had naturally heard about the famous evil doctor Fan Zheng for a long time. However, when they saw Fan Zheng in his prime, they couldn't help but feel worried.

"You two generals are very polite. From now on I will defend Xia City, so please work together." Fan Zheng said, cupping his hands.

Yang Weizhong couldn't help but said: "I heard that the drawings of Pingxia City were made by Fan Jianjun. I wonder if Fan Jianjun can help us clear up my doubts."

At this moment, even Zhong Pu couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen. Although he faithfully carried out the imperial order, he was not without doubts about the blueprint of the fortress. Now that he saw the owner coming in person, he naturally wanted to find out.

Fan Zheng did not answer and asked instead: "Do you think Fan is someone who took the initiative to die?"

Yang Weizhong shook his head. The evil doctor Fan Zheng unified the medical family and was a popular figure among the officials. He had a bright future! Naturally, he would not take the initiative to die.

"Since Fan has personally come to serve as the supervisor of the army, and since he is not actively seeking death, he is certainly sure to defend Pingxia City." Fan Zheng said calmly.

Yang Weizhong still refused to give up and said: "If the supervisor does not tell us clearly, I am afraid that the morale of the troops in Pingxia City will be unstable."

Zhong Pu also nodded heavily.

Fan Zheng pondered for a moment: "The structure of Pingxia City can only exert its greatest effect when combined with bows and crossbows."

"No wonder when the general came to build Pingxia City, Mr. Zhang ordered us to carry more powerful crossbows." Zhong Pu said with a shock in his heart.

"Ordinary crossbows are not powerful enough. This time our army has brought five thousand divine arm crossbows!" Fan Zheng revealed his trump card.

"Five thousand divine arm crossbows?" Yang Weizhong exclaimed. The divine arm crossbows are expensive to make and each army has few in stock. Fan Zheng may have brought all the divine arm crossbows from the Forbidden Army.

At present, Yang Weizhong is very confident. With so many divine arm crossbows, Pingxia City's strength has greatly increased.

"not enough!"

Zhong Pu gritted his teeth and said that Xixia would not sit back and watch Pingxia City threaten the hinterland, and would definitely attack with the whole country. Even if it is a divine arm crossbow and a bastion structure, it may be difficult to resist it.

"In addition, our supervisory army also has secret weapons."

Fan Zheng smiled confidently and immediately took the two of them to Pingxia City, a few miles away.

Following the huge roar of thunder, Zhong and Pu opened their mouths wide with shock on their faces.,

"How many more of these are there?" Yang Weizhong asked in surprise. He had never seen such a powerful firearm.

"There is enough gunpowder, and I have brought thousands of checkered iron shells. More checkered iron shells will be shipped to Pingxia City today." Fan Zheng promised.

The square iron shell he ordered was enough. The only thing that needed to be tested was the delivery capacity of the inn.

"This battle can be fought!"

Zhong Pu said excitedly, with such a sharp weapon, the Xixia army would definitely pay a heavy price if they wanted to attack Pingxia City!

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The purpose of building Pingxia City is to attract the firepower of Xixia. Fan is not afraid of Xixia coming, but is afraid that the Xixia army will not come. I hope the two generals will harass the Jingsai Army Division as much as possible and damage the Xixia granary.

Let Xixia hate Pingxia City to the core and want to get rid of it quickly."

"ah!"

Zhong and Pu couldn't help but exclaimed when they heard Fan Zheng's crazy plan.

They did not expect that Fan Zheng would be so willing to risk his life and take the initiative to provoke Xixia.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Is there any difference? Do you think that if we don't provoke Xixia, there will be no Xia soldiers to attack Pingxia City?"

Zhong and Pu shook their heads silently. The threat from Pingxia City to Xixia was too great, even greater than that of Yongle City. Xixia could not just sit idly by and ignore it.

Fan Zheng spread his hands and said: "In that case, why don't we take the initiative and completely anger Empress Dowager Liang and make her attack Pingxia City at all costs? Only in this way can Pingxia City establish its prestige in one battle."

Yang Weizhong said excitedly: "Okay, I have long disliked the Jingsai Military Division and asked the Supervisory Army to support a group of divine arm crossbows. This time I will give my old rival a surprise."

Fan Zheng waved his hand and said: "I can lend you two thousand divine arm crossbows."

"Two thousand divine arm crossbows!" Yang Weizhong was immediately ecstatic. He had never fought such a rich battle.

"This..." Zhong Pu couldn't help looking expectantly at Fan Zheng's secret weapon, Thunder Thunder.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "Zhentian Lei can only be used when defending the city, and it should not be exposed at this moment."

Zhong Pu could only nod his head regretfully. The Jingsai Military Division was now empty, and the Divine Arm Crossbow alone was enough to make it suffer.

At that moment, the three of them made a plan. Zhong Pu sent troops to destroy the fertile fields of Xixia and angered the Jingsai Army. Yang Weizhong ambushed the Jingsai Army. Fan Zheng stayed at Pingxia City to supervise the speed of city construction.

The three of them immediately split up.

"The order is passed, all civilians will have three meals a day, plus one midnight snack." Fan Zheng personally inspected the progress of Pingxia City and couldn't help but nodded slightly. The method of city building in the Song Dynasty was extremely mature, and even the assembly line method was used to build the city.

The only thing Fan Zheng could do was to provide the civilians with adequate food and not to cause trouble to them.

"Thank you, Lord Supervisor!" the civilians cheered.

Building a city is a physical job, and you are most hungry when you have to work hard, not to mention having an extra late night snack. The construction speed of Pingxia City is now much faster.

"One foot, two feet, three feet!"

Pingxia City is almost visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, a large amount of gunpowder and checkered iron shells were delivered from Jingyuan Road, and batches of thunderbolts were made and properly placed.

At the same time, more and more news about the Xixia army was sent to Pingxia City.

"Queen Mother Xiaoliang withdraws her troops!"

"Empress Dowager Xiaoliang withdrew to Xixia territory."

"The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang is coming straight to Pingxia City."

……………………

As the news came one by one, Zhong Pu and Yang Weizhong unanimously restrained their troops and returned to Pingxia City.

"boom!"

When the last section of the city wall was formed and Pingxia City was completely completed, it only took twenty days. This was the strength of the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty had no shortage of financial resources, manpower, and technology, but the only thing it lacked was force.

Fan Zheng stood on the city tower, looking at the majestic Pingxia City and said proudly: "In the battle of Pingxia City, the Song Dynasty will stand up completely."

Zhong Pu and Yang Weizhong touched the murderous divine arm crossbows in their hands, and then remembered the extremely powerful thunder outside Pingxia City, and couldn't help but nodded heavily.

"Dismiss the civilians, send a message to Jingyuan Road, and Pingxia City will receive the last batch of materials." Fan Zheng ordered again.

"yes!"

The messenger took the order.

Soon, the civilians immediately distributed food for the return journey and left Pingxia City in groups.

On the second day after Jingyuan Road delivered the last batch of defensive materials, scouts had already come to report! Traces of the Xixia army had been discovered outside Pingxia City.

"It came so fast!" Zhong Pu exclaimed.

"With the example of Yongle City, Xixia will naturally not allow the Song Dynasty to build another more threatening city." Yang Weizhong said with a solemn expression.

"It's just a pity that Pingxia City is not the second Yongle City." Fan Zheng sneered.

When the Xixia army arrived at Pingxia City, the gate of Pingxia City suddenly fell down and was immediately sealed.
Chapter completed!
