With the arrival of this sound, it also means that the bandit suppression army led by Zhang Rui has arrived in Wuchang.

Wuchang was first built in the early years of Huangwu. At that time, Sun Quan went up the Shuo River to dominate the Shuojiang River. Taking the meaning of "prosperity through force", he renamed E County Wuchang and proclaimed himself the emperor and established his capital here.

The city of Wuchang began in the 2nd year of Huangwu in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Sun Quan, the lord of Eastern Wu, built a city on the north side of Huanghu Mountain near his capital Wuchang, because the city faced the Yangtze River and was far away from Xiashuikou. Therefore, it was named Xiakou.

The world-famous Yellow Crane Tower is a military observation tower in Xiakou City. The rise of today's Wuchang probably started from this.

Wuchang City has experienced various ups and downs, and it was basically finalized in the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the bandit suppressing army saw it.

The city is about twenty miles in circumference and has nine gates.

There is Binyang Gate in the east (modified from the Dadong Gate when the imperial censor Gu Li rebuilt Wuchang City in the 14th year of Jiajing), the New South Gate in the southeast, Baoan Gate and Wangze Gate in the south, Bamboo Gate in the southwest, and the Bamboo Gate in the west. There are Pinghu Gate, Hanyang Gate in the northwest, Caobu Gate in the north, and Xiaodong Gate in the northeast.

Wuchang City is two feet eight feet high, its walls are six feet eight feet thick, and its top is five feet four feet wide. It is six miles long from north to south and five miles wide from east to west. The circumference is three thousand four hundred and thirty feet.

At the same time, Wuchang City faces the Yangtze River to the west, with two water gates and gates, and three gates: Hanyang, Pinghu and Wenchang.

There is Wushengmen in the north. To the east are Binyang and Zhongxiao gates. To the south are Wangshan, Baoan and Zhonghe gates. There are moats outside the city on the north, south, and east sides. The river is two feet deep, two feet eight feet wide, and has a total length of 3,343 feet.

One mile and 180 steps from Binyang Gate to Zhongxiao Gate; three miles from Zhongxiao Gate to Wusheng Gate; two miles and 180 steps from Wusheng Gate to Hanyang Gate; one mile from Hanyang Gate to Pinghu Gate; one mile from Pinghu Gate to Wenchang Gate One mile from Wenchang Gate to Wangshan Gate, one hundred and eighty steps; one mile from Wangshan Gate to Bao'an Gate; one mile and twenty paces from Bao'an Gate to Zhonghe Gate; three miles from Zhonghe Gate to Binyang Gate.

At this time, Zhang Rui and others gathered at Zhonghe Gate in the south. Zhang Rui's location is also where the main force of the bandit suppression army lies.

After the bandit suppressing army entered Hubei independently, they found that the Manchu defense had changed. Many county towns actually had no soldiers to defend them, and some of the troops organized by the county magistrate were simply not enough to deal a blow to the bandit-suppressing army.

It was precisely because of Min Rui's change in countermeasures that Zhang Rui also changed his attitude towards sending troops.

At this time, the anti-bandit troops entering Hubei were divided into two groups. Zhang Rui led 100,000 troops all the way from Yueyang to Wuchang. Along the way, Chief of Staff Wang Kaiyuan collaborated with Ma Jiulu and military commander Qian Lushan to approach Jingzhou.

As the bandit-suppressing army led by Zhang Rui attacked the city, the bandit-suppressing army that arrived in Wuchang City at this moment had a strength of 120,000.

Since Hunan and Hubei are both grain-producing areas, the anti-bandit troops have not caused large-scale destruction or harassment to the people since they entered Hunan. In order to please the bandit-suppressing army, many large households in Hunan and Hubei spent a lot of money to provide food to the bandit-suppressing army, so at this time, the bandit-suppressing army also had sufficient rations.

"Sixth brother, what should we do next? Let the brothers attack the city?" At this time, Sun Liuli, one of the new brigade commanders, came over and asked Zhang Rui. I saw that all the clothes in front of him were soaked through.
