The outer city wall is four zhang high and more than one zhang wide, making it majestic and imposing.
At the pass of the city wall, besides the arrow tower, there is also a dark cannon barrel protruding from the top of the wall.
Everyone who walks through the city gate will involuntarily look up.
Recalling two years ago, when the royal court of Xuyang Grassland was finally destroyed, a bandit army of several hundred men sneaked out of Mida City at night, intending to capture the city lord's wife and the young master inside as hostages.
At that time, the outer city wall had just been completed, and the laborers and merchants were all staying in temporary prefabricated houses outside the city.
The cannon barrels on the wall were also wrapped in sheets of tarpaulin.
The bandits tried to storm the labor camp first, but were discovered by the patrol battalion, and several grenades blew them away.
Then the bandits who had gathered together rushed to storm the city gate.
The migrant workers and merchants saw cannonballs spitting fire, while the bandits fell in droves like withered grass in a whirlwind as the earth trembled.

He held his six-month-old son in one arm and embraced his six-year-old son as well. Only then did he take a moment from his busy schedule to say to Song Liyun, who was reading a letter, "Ayun, my cousin the emperor has invited you and your mother to the capital. Your elder brother will send people to escort you, and your father will also come out of the capital to pick you up."
Song Liyun put away the letter, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Mother and father-in-law have been separated for ten years. I'm afraid they'll reminisce about their separation when they go to the capital. It wouldn't be appropriate for me, their daughter-in-law, to go with them!"
