Chapter 294: The Chu Army is Attacking

In fact, the process of recovering the entire Dongjun is easier than imagined, but a few inconsequential people have died, and now it's time to spend some time dealing with this mess, Chu Nan doesn't have so much time to fall in love, he has a lot of things to do, such as reorganizing the army, sending scouts, and distributing food.

Judging from all kinds of intelligence, the power of the rebels is getting stronger and stronger, from the scale of only one county to six counties including Hedong, Jibei, Langya, etc., in fact, there is no need to send redundant scout detective intelligence Just the defeated army that fled back from the front line is as many as tens of thousands of people, in the face of these defeated troops, Chu Nan is comer does not refuse to take them all under his banner, whether it is a refugee or a deserter, as long as there is one more person in Dongjun, then there will be one less enemy, Chu Nan knows this truth very well.

The morale of these deserters has been seriously hit, and the Qin army, which swept through the six countries in the past, seems to have become a general term for the defeated army at this moment, and it is often vulnerable, and these defeated troops have not been able to form new combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and if they rashly send these Qin troops to the battlefield, it is very easy to form a mutiny.

Erzhuang, who was dressed in coarse linen clothes, collapsed under the grass hut, staring blankly at the rain in the air, the water droplets fell down the thatch, until he wet his trouser legs, and he didn't notice it, Erzhuang's eyes were full of scarlet caused by numbness and hunger.

He just didn't want to expend his strength, and the two meals of porridge a day from the grain officials in the county town could not meet his needs, and for him it was only enough to keep him from starving.

"Recruiting?"

The makeshift shed in the distance suddenly became noisy, and the man, who was bored under the thatched hut like him, listened to the sound and hurried towards the place, not caring that his cloth clothes were soaked by the rain outside.

There is still a lot of such work in the county town, the city wall needs to be repaired, weapons need to be made, these all need manpower, there is no salary, but each craftsman can eat three meals a day, and there are steamed buns, these are enough to satisfy people who don't know food and clothing, so the scene of recruiting workers is a little chaotic for a while, although it is chaotic, everyone dares to make trouble, and dozens of Qin troops in black armor can ensure order here.

Erzhuang didn't move, but that kind of work was enviable, and he was once recruited by virtue of his physical strength.

For Er Zhuang, these were far from enough, because he had a large family to support, and thinking of the few younger siblings and his mother in the family, he had to run out and wander aimlessly around the city.

A figure stood in front of Er Zhuang, who squinted at the man.

"Why are you still here?"

The man he knew was a man from the same village as him, and several of them fled from the village with the villagers, but there were still a hundred or so people, but now there were only a few dozen people left, and the rest died on the way, and maybe they would die soon, he thought.

"What's wrong?"

Er Zhuang asked weakly, and this sentence seemed to exhaust all his strength.

"I heard that the school is recruiting soldiers over there, and not only is the food management full every day, but also a lot of food can be distributed every month, don't you still have a few mouths waiting to eat at home?"

Hearing these words, Er Zhuang stood up, because of hunger, his figure staggered a little, if it wasn't for the eyes of the same village to hold him up, I was afraid that he would faint.

Countless people rushed over there, and the Qin soldiers on the school field had already surrounded this place.

Chu Nan stood on the platform of the school field, looking at the neatly placed stones below, he tried each stone is more than fifty catties, the recruitment process is very simple, as long as the stones can be lifted with both hands, and ensure that the ten breaths will not fall, they will be recruited.

Just looking at the skinny many people in front of him, Chu Nan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, one-tenth of these people can be lifted even if it is good, according to Chu Nan's requirements, the commander has to lower the standard again and again, and even in the end, as long as there is no obvious disability, he can be recruited.

Zhao Qing came to his side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I believe that it won't be long before these people will be able to become a useful army, it just takes time." ”

Chu Nan nodded in agreement, these people are just too thin, if they can train for a few months, they will never be worse than the veterans, but what worries him is that they may not have a few months.

Cheers suddenly came from the crowd, and Er Zhuang easily lifted the hard stone above his head with his own strength.

"Well done."

The commander came over and looked at the swarthy man.

"What's your name?"

"General, two, two strong."

On weekdays, where have I seen such a high-ranking official, but the most seen is only the village leader who is already very old in the village, so it is inevitable that he will be a little slurred when he speaks.

Er Zhuang put down the hard stone in his hand, and the hard stone touched the ground with a muffled sound.

"General, can you eat first?" There was a growl in his stomach.

"Okay, go over there." The centurion laughed and pointed in a direction.

This is just one of the episodes.

A cavalryman came from the corner of the street and hurried across the school yard to Chu Nan's side.

"Something's wrong."

"What's going on?" Chu Nan said in a deep voice.

"The wolf smoke in Zhengyang County has risen."

Zhengyang County is a county less than 100 miles away from the county seat, and on weekdays, Chu Nan also uses Zhengyang County as a striker and arranges a team of 100 people.

"I know which army is coming."

"Under the banner of the Chu army."

The eagle horn of the Qin army in the county town has been sounded, countless Qin troops have climbed the city wall, and the people who are responsible for harvesting grain outside the county city have been urged by the army to go towards the city, and the grain in the farmland is not yet fully ripe in autumn.

Chu Nantie blushed and looked at the ears of wheat that were about to ripen.

"There should be a hundred miles from Zhengyang County to here, and the vanguard troops should be half a day here, and send the defenders to transport the grain to the county as much as possible."

Lu Gaoyuan recorded the details on the side, but his expression became more and more solemn, "Even so, it can only be put away less than half, so what about the rest?" ”

"The rest is burned, and the Chu army must not be allowed to get half of the food."

With Chu Nan's order, the sky outside the county town was completely covered in black smoke, and the fragrance of wheat ears spread far away, and countless wheat stalks fell into the fields, turning into a scorched earth in the blink of an eye.

There were cries everywhere in the city, and food was more important than gold at this time, but the sky did not allow people to live.

Chu Nan's palm slammed on the city wall in front of him, and one day he would have to return all the shame he had suffered today.
