And there is nothing to worry about the residence, the rich families have houses in the provincial capital, and there will be no place to stay, anyway, the shops are there, and the gold coins are still rolling in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAs for the field, the Imperial Army fought back, and the field was not its own?

Since they were willing, the shrewd rich families immediately said that they would do their part to defend the city, donating a batch of food, clothing, medicine and other materials, and also said that their houses were used by the troops.

Anyway, these things that can't be taken away will be ruined by the mountain bandits sooner or later, since this is the case, it is better to sell personal favors and enjoy them for their own soldiers.

The sons and nephews of these rich people are not in the city, they are all enjoying happiness in the provincial capital, so they just leave. And the average rich family is not happy, because their sons and nephews have been conscripted.

They originally wanted to bribe Zhao Hu to let his sons and nephews leave, but Zhao Hu said: "By the way, I don't think there are enough strong men to defend the city, and I am going to recruit men between the ages of twelve and sixty into the army." One sentence made their faces change greatly, and they retreated in tears under the pull of other rich people.

As for the materials necessary to defend the city, Zhao Hu will not be polite, and thank you for accepting it.

If it weren't for the shyness of his pocket, I'm afraid he would have offered to pay for these materials a long time ago, but I didn't expect these rich people to be so generous.

As for where did Zhao Hu's money go? He came out this time and brought 100,000 gold coins, and the wing's vegetable money was used 20,000 yuan, and the salary was used for tens of thousands, and the rest, including the wealth collected from the inventory of the wing headquarters, was all used to buy livestock fed by the people.

For the poor people, these domestic animals are equivalent to family members, and they are willing to take the livestock away when they walk, so Zhao Hu, who has no choice, has to spend money to buy them. The people's hearts are changeable, and as soon as they saw the yellow and clear gold coins, the hearts of these people were immediately sold by the owner.

After the work of organizing the people was over, they began to worry about the safety of the road.

Zhao Hu, in line with the mentality of being cautious and not making a big mistake, transferred 1,000 soldiers who had gone through bloody battles to join the troops of the 2,000 weak and strong men, all of whom were under the jurisdiction of Sun Jie.

Although the city defense lacked this thousand forces, the people's sense of security rose sharply when they saw these soldiers who were permeated with murderous aura all over their bodies.

At the same time, Zhao Hu also made a bloody investment, drawing a team from the few cavalry and escorting them all the way away. With these cavalry, the migrating team could detect the situation from afar.

Of course, the rest of the cavalry was sent out to monitor the movements of the mountain bandits, and when they noticed that the mountain bandits sent half of their men and horses into the mountains and forests to cut down trees, Zhao Hu gave an order, and the gate to the provincial capital slowly opened.

As soon as the gates opened, a dozen or so cavalrymen rushed out, followed by five hundred heavily armed soldiers, and then men and strong women crowded in a procession of carriages, old and young, in the order of the city's neighborhoods.

At the rear, there were 500 strong men and a dozen cavalry to press the formation, and the other 2,000 strong men were concentrated in the center of the line on both sides to escort.

The soldiers in the city, all crowded on this city wall to watch the departure of their relatives, everyone was silent, no one knew if they had a chance to reunite with their families, but the safe departure of their families could at least give them some comfort, at least no worries.

Among them, the old blacksmiths in the city who were in a bad mood were also recruited. There's no way around it, they need their guidance to forge arrows and repair weapons. As for the young blacksmiths and the apprentices of the blacksmiths? They who belong to the strong men have long been recruited.

The people on Zhao Hu's side went out of the city, and the soldiers who cut wood on the Shanyue side also returned. However, it is a little strange that they did not immediately make siege equipment such as ladders, but instead built fences to surround the camp of Shanyue. Looking at them like this, I'm afraid they are afraid of a sneak attack in the city.

Because the Shanyue people were logging in the mountains and forests, they inevitably stood high and looked far away, so it was natural to find that a large number of people had evacuated from Jinwen City.

Lei Ming, who got this report, didn't care, to be honest, they invaded the territory of the empire just for the land, and the people on the land didn't care, except for using it as a slave or selling it, it could only be regarded as extra money, and it was not the main goal of the war.

Lei Ming inadvertently told Tang Feng this, Tang Feng looked at the soldiers still existing on the city tower, and couldn't help sighing. The other side evacuated the people but left the troops, which shows that they are ready to resist to the death, and it seems that the next siege will have great losses.

When night began to fall, countless torches came out of the mountains and forests in batches, and then gathered in the camp of Shangoe.

"How did the soldiers react?" Glancing at the mountain camp in the distance, Zhao Hu asked Zhou Wen.

"Under the boast of the last batch of soldiers who participated in the battle, the soldiers are full of optimism, and the morale is also very high, coupled with the hospitality of good wine and meat, some soldiers actually think that it is good enough to fight every day." Zhou Wen said with a smile.

Zhao Hu nodded with a smile, now the soldiers' food is better than that of the Imperial Capital Praetorian Guards, this is also a matter of no choice, the rich families left a large number of food, wine, livestock and other materials, plus each family has a few heads of livestock to be purchased, such a good food of wine and meat is enough to supply these nearly 20,000 soldiers for several months.

Zhao Hu and his subordinates didn't think about saving some money, anyway, after the training, either the garrison division came to the rescue, or they broke through and left, and these materials were not their own. At that time, it will either be given away or burned, since it is better to cheapen yourself.

"Put these guys who think war is wonderful into a team and put them in the second and third rounds of fighting." Zhao Hu suddenly gave such an order.

The next day, the Shanyue soldiers did not attack, except for continuing to cut down trees, a contingent of dozens or hundreds of people came out of the mountains and forests in an endless stream to enter the Shanyue camp.

"How many Shanyue people have entered the enemy camp so far?" Zhao Hu asked the officers guarding the city tower.

"Thirty-four shares in the evening, about thirty or forty people per share, according to the torch calculation. Tianliang now has 56 shares, nearly 100 people per share. The officer replied immediately.

"Well, that is, the other side has increased by about six or seven thousand people?" Zhao Hu said.

"Yes, my lord, fortunately they sent the people out yesterday, otherwise they would have drawn 3,000 people to attack the people, and we really don't know what to do." The officer was Zhao Hu's personal guard, and his speech was not so restrained.

"Well, that's true, after all, we can't guarantee that these recruits will be able to compete with each other in the field, and if the people are attacked and flee in panic, I'm afraid our soldiers will also lose their morale and flee the ranks to find their relatives." Zhao Hu nodded and said.

"My lord, what are we going to do now? Just watching each other increase the number of people like this? Looking at the mountain bandits who still appeared, the officer's face was a little solemn.

"We can only wait for the enemy army to attack the city now, we rely on the city not only to train the soldiers, but also the most advantageous guarantee, if it is in the field, I am afraid that I am not confident that I can defeat the Shanyue soldiers.

"Besides, our 20,000 men are enough to withstand the onslaught of 100,000 Shanyue soldiers. Spread these words so that the soldiers can train with peace of mind. Zhao Hu said.

"Yes." As a close officer, of course, he was ordered to do so.

In the Shanyue camp, Lei Ming looked at these swarming strong men.

It's wonderful, you don't have to spend any benefits yourself, you can just have so many strong men, and these strong men have their own weapons, and you just need to send them to the battlefield at that time. But these guys didn't bring any food, and they were going to eat their own big family.

But there is no way, people have sent troops in the face of the mountain regiment, and they have to be responsible for the food anyway, so now they have to send people to hunt and store the food in advance, so as not to have more and more strong men in the back, and the food will not be enough to consume.

Lei Ming knows the name of his tribe very well, and it is impossible for the clansmen within a radius of hundreds of miles to send strong men to help fight, although his own tribe is also strong, but when will the Shanyue tribe be afraid of the powerful? They all came because of the well-known signboard of the Mountain Regiment.

Hehe, relying on this signboard, how much trouble will I save myself, and when their strong men are finished, they will annex their small tribes, so that their tribes will immediately grow a lot.

In the past, I was afraid of making trouble for my uncle in the gathering place, and I didn't dare to use the signboard of the mountain group to seek benefits, but now when I come to the border, the mountain high clan is far away, and I don't want to take advantage of it, it's just an idiot! Thunder hummed a mountain song proudly as he ordered his men to hunt.

Tang Feng is not as idle as Lei Ming, these Shanyue people only came here for the sake of the face of the mountain group, as the head of the mountain group, how can they talk to them. After some praise, these small tribal leaders patted their chests excitedly, allowing Tang Feng to easily reorganize their strong men.

Although Tang Feng wanted his clan to have more advantages, he did not let Lei Ming's people serve as officers of the newly formed troops, because this would definitely make the leaders of the small tribes in an uproar, and Tang Feng understood this concern very well.

Tang Feng sent the members of the Shanyue Regiment as officers, and no one had any opinion on these heroes of the entire Shanyue clan as his superiors.

Tang Feng wore the signboard of the mountain regiment, and suddenly made the new troops convinced to obey his orders.

On that day, for a whole day and a night, the Shanyue people who came to take refuge did not stop, and the Shanyue soldiers did not launch an attack on this day, either busy organizing troops or building siege equipment.

Zhao Hu's side did not relax, and the officers raised their whips again and began to train the soldiers, this painful training made the soldiers eager to climb the city tower to garrison early, because only the garrisoned troops did not need to be trained.
