This was Li Kan's first time in this world. The winding path at the door of the house that day led to a wide road.

At this time, a carriage was listening to by the side of the road. The coachman was sitting on the shaft with a whip in his arms. Lin Chang went over and said hello and got into the car, and then he signaled Li Kan to come up.

"I said, did your lady fall in love with me? She found me a job and sent a car to pick me up. What exactly did she want to do?" Li Kan said as she got in the car.

Of course, Lin Chang couldn't understand it. He looked at Li Kan and waited for him to explain it in body language.

Of course Li Kan would not explain it. He was just a joke, not to mention that this explanation is particularly troublesome. How to express "like" with actions? Do you compare your heart?

Seeing that Li Kan had no intention of explaining, Lin Chang shouted to the coachman outside and signaled him to start rushing.

Is it very far? I have to use a car to pick it up. If it is too far, it will not be so convenient to go back and forth, Li Kan thought to himself.

The carriage was not fast, and it was trotting like a walk. The horse sniffed from time to time. After two hours, it finally came to a city.

This is another city similar to that of ancient China, but compared to the Demon King City, which often towers into the sky, this city is much worse, and looks quite like a certain film and television city in China.

City, also known as city walls, the word "city" refers to city walls, which are ancient military defense buildings in East Asian countries such as China. In order to protect the lives and property of the people, building cities is a tradition of East Asian countries; compared with European countries, the city walls in East Asia are generally larger in scale.

City can be divided into prefecture, county, department, and fort according to different levels; generally speaking, the higher the level, the larger the scale, and the different configurations of official buildings.

The city wall is the main defense line of the city and also defines the scope of the city. Most of the materials are made of local materials, and in the early stages they are mainly bamboo and wooden fences. After they reach a certain level, they are changed to walls such as earth, stone or brick. They are built on the city gates with single and multiple eaves so that the generals guarding the city can climb to the city to see the enemy situation and command battles.

The number of gates in a city is determined by the administrative level or scale. Usually there are 8 gates in the prefecture city and 4 gates in the county town. They are usually divided into four directions, east, west, south and north.

City Gate Tower: The city tower on the city gate can be divided into pavilion type and bunker type. City Gate Tower: the base of the city gate tower. City Gate Cave: the hole entering and exiting the city gate. City Gate City: a city wall around the city gate, also known as "Moon City". It is usually the main road leading to the city outside the city, and it is the focus of the city defense forces' adherence to it during wartime.

Most of the cities in the early Chinese period were built with earth, and after the Ming Dynasty, the city walls in various places began to be wrapped in large-scale bricks. Therefore, for most of the time in ancient Chinese history, the cities looked yellow and bare. As early as the Shang Dynasty three thousand years ago, the ancestors of China had mastered the technology of plate building. The so-called plate building was to use two wooden boards (plains) to clamp them when building the wall. The width between the two boards was equal to the thickness of the wall. The outer panels were supported by wooden columns, and then the two boards were filled with soil, and they were built with a pestle tightly. After building, the wooden boards and columns were removed to form a wall.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the technology of plate construction was greatly improved. The hanging plate tamping method was generally adopted, that is, using wooden sticks to pass through the plywood on both sides, fixed with ropes, and filled with earth in the middle. The "Book of Songs" said this method. The city wall built with this plate construction technique is stronger than before, so the city slopes on both sides of the old method can be eliminated, thereby increasing the difficulty of climbing the city wall. At that time, some city walls were built with adobe (single adobe size was about 1 meter x 4 meter x 2 meter), and were staggered up and down to increase the density and strength of the wall.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Chinese cities have been using this simple method of building soil. Nearly two thousand years later, the famous Yuan Dadu (Beijing) city wall is still made of rammed earth. The wall built with this kind of soil is not very good-looking and not very strong, especially when it rains, it will be damaged by rainwater erosion. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the Tongwan City built by Helian Bobo Da Shanyu (reigned from 4o7 to 425) in the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a miracle in the history of earth construction. Tongwan City adopts the "steamed earth city building" method, that is, mixing glutinous rice juice, white silt, sand and ripe lime together to ramm it. Although it is a earth city, it has the texture as hard as stone and resistance to destruction. Legend has it that General Chigan Ali, who is responsible for the construction, has very strict requirements and is almost cruel. He ordered people to test the built wall with an iron cone. Anyone who enters an inch of the cone will immediately

Craftsmen killed and filled the body inside the wall. Under this crazy high-pressure policy, the Tongwan City, which was built over six years, has a very good construction quality. "Its hardness can be sharpened with axes" and can be compared with modern cement. Of course, this is just a special example. In order to ensure the firmness and strength, most earthen city walls can only move to height, large and thick. For example, more than two thousand years ago, the city wall width of Linzi, the capital of Qi State, was 20 meters, and the wall thickness of the Chu State capital Ying was 14 meters. In the era of cold weapons, such thickness had enough resistance to strikes. In addition, for the sake of safety, outside the tall and thick city walls, there were wide and deep trenches that were manually excavated (which could also induce river water to become moats). In a large capital, the width of the trenches around the outer city was usually 30 meters wide and the depth was 4 to 5 meters.

However, Tucheng also has the advantage of Tucheng, which is that it is easy to repair. For example, when Li Guangbi was in the Anshi Rebellion, the army of the rebel general Shi Siming was coming. It would be too late to strengthen Taiyuan City in a radius of 40. So while leading the military and civilians to dig trenches outside the city, he ordered people to make hundreds of thousands of acres of bricks and ordered the construction of adobe bricks with adobe bricks. Wherever they were destroyed, they would use adobe bricks to make up the building.

From the perspective of military defense, the construction of ancient Chinese cities can be said to be exquisitely arranged and has many mechanisms. On the top of the tall city wall, there are continuous and concave toothed low walls built on the outside, called storm, also known as battlements, with stents on the top, which can be used to shoot arrows and look out, and ventilation holes at the bottom to protect the wall. The low wall on the inside is called the female wall, also known as "simple", which is generally lower than the battlements and acts as a guardrail to prevent soldiers from falling when walking. In addition, the city walls are also built with ring roads and city roads.

There is a city tower in the center of each city gate of the city wall. This is a high-rise building with exquisite and beautiful appearance on the top of the city wall. When climbing high and looking up on weekdays, the main general is in charge of command during wartime. It is an important high-altitude defense facility for a city. On the outside of the tall wall, at a certain distance, there is a section protruding from the outside of the wall. This is the horse face (also known as enemy platform, pier platform, wall platform). The horse face has two types: rectangular and semicircular shapes, and is named because of its narrow appearance as a horse face. The horse face is used to interact with the city wall and eliminate the underworld.

The blind spot attacks the enemy from top to bottom from three sides. Its general width is 12 to 20 meters, protruding from the outer surface of the wall 8 to 12 meters, and the spacing is 2 to 25 meters (usually 70 meters). This is in line with the records in the Song Dynasty's "Records of the City and the City Secretariat": "The old horse face is 60 steps, and it jumps out of the city without reducing it by two meters. It is wide and narrow, and the place is uncertain. Both sides look straight at the corner of the city, and there are buildings on it." In the era of using cold weapons, this distance is just within the effective range of bows and arrows.

In order to enhance the defense and war ability of the horse face, enemy towers are generally built on the horse face, which can garrison troops and watch, and store weapons to make the city wall defensive performance reach the highest point. In wartime, you can use its convex and tall buildings to watch the enemy, observe the enemy situation, and prevent the enemy from siegeing the city; you can also use the cross firepower of the enemy from the front and the left and right floors to snipe the enemy, connect points and lines at any time, and weave a tight high-altitude firepower network

, is an important part of the city wall defense project. In addition, a corner platform at the four corners of the city wall is built with a tower called a corner tower. The direction of the corner tower is at an angle of 135 degrees to the large wall. The height and volume of the building are between the city tower and the enemy tower. It is mainly used to make up for the weak defense links in the blind corners of the city wall, that is, the corners of the city wall, thereby enhancing the defense ability of the entire city wall. In wartime, the defenders in the corner tower are at a high place and have a broad vision, so they can monitor and attack invading enemies from multiple angles.

From the perspective of military offensive, the weakest link of a city is naturally the city gate. Therefore, the designers of the city will naturally increase their protection efforts and strengthen their defense capabilities. Smaller cities generally have suspended gates or suspension bridges, while larger cities need to set up urns. The urns are small cities built outside the city gate, also known as Yuecheng, which is a small city specially designed to defend the city gate. "The Wujing Zongyaoqian Ji·Guarding the City" records: "The urns outside the city are either round or square. Judging from the terrain, it is tall and thick, and the city, but one gate is biased, and the left and right are as they please." Even if the enemy breaks through the urns, there is also the main city gate defense, because urns

The narrow place in the city is not easy to launch a large-scale attack on troops, which delays the enemy's attack. The defenders at the top of the city wall can shoot from high to four sides, causing fatal blows to the enemy. As the saying goes, close the door and hit dogs, catch turtles in the jar. "The Book of Songs·Zheng Feng·Exit the East Gate" says: "If you leave the archer, there will be a woman in the woods." "The "The archer" refers to the archer. It can be seen that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the city defense technology of the city had reached a very complete level. The three-dimensional urban defense pattern composed of city walls, city towers, moats, horse faces, enemy towers, corner towers, urns, etc. was basically matured and established during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, and continued until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

That's about the city in front of you.

Lin Chang pointed to the three big words on the city gate and said word by word: "Let's go! Fairy! Town!"

"Oh, it turns out that we are talking about Lanxian Town here, huh? Isn't that a novice village?" Li Kan suddenly remembered the place name in a certain game, and it seemed that it was also called this.

After crossing the guard, Li Kan and the others entered the city. Not to mention that it was quite lively inside, there were noisy sounds everywhere. Li Kan couldn't understand it and felt like he was in a completely unfamiliar country. Everyone here spoke foreign languages, which made him dizzy.

But there is nothing we can do about this. Who made Li Kan unable to speak with them?

The coachman drove the carriage to the front of the consultation mansion, and then left after they got off.

Lin Chang took Li Kan and pushed the door open directly.

Mansion, mansion refers to the residence of aristocrats, and mansions are the residences of senior officials. In the past, it refers to the residences of bureaucrats, nobles or large landlords. Now it is also called the place where some countries work or live, and can also be used for places where people with more noble identities live.

Lin Chang looked at Li Kan proudly, wanting to see the surprised expression on his face.

But unexpectedly, Li Kan had no expression on his face, as if the mansion was almost the same as the dilapidated house where he lived. It was really helpless. At least he made some surprise moves and said something like "What a big and beautiful house" to satisfy his vanity.

Lin Chang didn't know that Li Kan felt that the house was really petty, far worse than the one in the Demon World, so he stood there calmly, expressionlessly and silent.

In fact, compared to the one-acre three-point land in Li Kan's own home, this house is already very large. The small yard of Li Kan's family can allow him to ride a toy car to circle the yard when he was down. Now it is okay to be willing to use it to practice subject 2.

Moreover, this kind of yard usually comes in and out. Some of the instructions seen in front of Li Kan are still there.

However, he has a clever vision in the Demon World, so he really doesn't care about the small house of such a team.

Lin Chang did not see the expected results and was a little helpless, but he still led Li Kan to see their so-called lady.

This lady was exactly the woman he had met before, the woman who was surrounded in the middle and gave him medicine.

At this time, she looked at Li Kan with a smile, and her eyes showed a look of interest.

"Isn't it really liked me?" Li Kan thought to himself.

The lady smiled and said a few words, clapped her palms, and then a guy in a monk or a monk or a monk or a Taoist walked out of the screen behind, bowed to everyone, then came to Li Kan, looked at him and said, "Li Dan?"

"Li Kan!" Li Kan corrected again. How did he know? Lin Chang's mouth is so fast.

The unspeakable guy smiled when he heard this, stopped talking, took out a green branch, and suddenly jumped up at Riken.

"What are you doing?" Li Kan was shocked, but seeing the young lady Lin Changdu looked pious, this person should be performing a solemn ceremony, so Li Kan did not move and let him jump around by his side.

The man hummed an unknown strange tone in his mouth. Did the branches in his hand pass by Li Kan, making his nose itchy?

Finally, he couldn't help but sneeze came out.

"Okay!" Seeing this, the man stopped beating and returned to his original calm.

"What's better?" Ricken asked.

"Don't you think you can communicate with us now?" the man smiled.

"Hey? It's true! I can finally understand you." Li Kanxi said, he has been so uncomfortable these days.

"I don't know where the little brother came from?" the man asked.

"From..." Li Kan looked at the guy's dress and smiled, "From wherever he came."

"Oh? Where to go?"

"Go to where I go, but I'll stay here for the time being." Li Kan said with a smile.
