As the saying goes, a good start is half the battle.

After that, it will be easier to arrange other matters for the defense of the city.

Qin Chuchu inquired about it, was a little relieved, and went back to Yin Yicheng to learn the details to see if the rumors from the outside world were true.

It was evening before Yin Yicheng had time to talk to her.

Last time, he used a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but this time he may not have such good luck, and the people in the entire Yang'an City are waiting to see how he responds.

Every day because of these things, Yin Yicheng has no skills, after all, the survival of the city is closely related to everyone.

At a critical juncture, anyone who does not want to see the city gates breached, will naturally come to him.

While waiting for the remaining people and horses in Qiaoyi Village to come, Yin Yicheng roughly counted the city guards in Yang'an City.

There were only 2,000 in total, and with the 500 men he brought, there was still a huge disparity in the number of 60,000 troops.

Therefore, the first important step is to gather more people, make strong contributions, and make plans with plans.

The people of Northern Liang have long been frightened by repeated conscriptions, and they are frightened of this kind of thing, and a hundred of them resist it.

However, it is not difficult for them to recruit more people at this time.

Life and death are at stake, and who can stay out of it? Moreover, the deeds of Hu Taishen's torture and killing have long been spread everywhere from the mouths of those displaced people.

All Yin Yicheng had to do was to invite a few more refugees and tell what he had heard and seen along the way.

Spread out the truth again, since ancient times, the king has been defeated, and the defeated side has no human rights.

When you meet a benevolent lord who doesn't disturb the people, it's nothing, but Bai Jin is obviously not, so where can he reason.

Once Yang'an City is breached, what awaits them is the real hellfire pit!

Although life is more difficult now, at least there is freedom, there is a lively breath, whether it is farming or trading, you can always live if you work hard.

Eight-year-old children understand these truths, Yin Yicheng just understood them and put them in front of the public.

Not to mention that this works well.

With ideological awareness, it is inevitable to choose to join the city defenders, which will more or less lead the people around him.

When people are for themselves, they will not only do their best, but also burst out with unlimited potential.

Moreover, Yin Yicheng added an article: Those who participate in the defense of the city can include food and lodging.

This is an urgent relief for families who have fallen into poverty because of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Not to mention the homeless people who have worked hard all the way to get here, who were originally turned away from the city, but now they are able to flock in.

There is nothing more demagogic than the immediate visible benefits.

The conditions for achieving it seem very simple, as long as you join, you will have food and drink, and you will have it at your fingertips.

"This matter has to be helped~" Yin Yicheng arched his hand at her and made a gesture.

"No wonder you insist that I come over," Qin Chuchu waved his hand and said, "If you give me money, I'll take the goods, but don't give me a gift." ”

So many people live in the city, and the difficulty is the food problem, if there is no system for her, it is estimated that it will be difficult to solve.

In recent years, Beiliang's policies have been harsh, and many people have not been allowed to live in peace, how can they be happy?

It was not a good year, the fields did not produce a large amount, and a lot of grain had to be expropriated every year.

How many people live on potatoes and sweet potatoes, and they are reluctant to eat white rice.

At least in Qin Chuchu's previous memories, she and Qin Ruoruo ate rare porridge and some sweet potatoes and vegetables.

In this environment, even merchants who buy and sell rice and grain may not be able to get much grain.

Besides, now that the Baijin army has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Northern Liang, the trade routes between various towns have been greatly affected.

Yang'an City is already close to the edge of the knife, and even if you have silver, you can't buy what you want.

"How much grain can Chu Chu get in exchange?" Yin Yicheng asked with a light smile.

Qin Chuchu supported his chin with one hand, "Well...... The whole nine yards. ”

"It depends on how many items you can exchange."

Yin Yicheng knew that she was bartering, but ......

"Now that Yang'an City is being targeted, if there are no objects in the city, it is estimated that it will be difficult to send a caravan outside."

He sighed, turned and took a small wooden box.

Put it in front of Qin Chuchu and open it, and the golden light was shining.

This time it was not a rare jade jewelry, but a small box with gold bars neatly arranged.

Qin Chuchu knew that he had money, and it was not particularly surprising to see the gold bars at this time, and said, "The jewelry box that Brother Yin gave last time, there are still a lot left." ”

"Last time I was buying medicine, this time I was buying food, how can it be the same, one yard is one yard."

"Huh? In exchange for this equivalence, didn't I take advantage of it? Qin Chuchu felt that this deal was too cost-effective.

Originally, no matter what era it was, medicines were relatively expensive, and whoever didn't get sick couldn't drink them?

But in her system, everything is bartered, as long as the other party feels rare, it is worth it.

Being able to get medicine easily is a lot of luck for Qin Chuchu.

But this time it's not that simple, even if the big rice and grain farmers in the system are eager to make a deal with her, she can't.

Yin Yicheng looked at Qin Chuchu's frowning slightly, and said, "If there is anything inconvenient, you might as well speak up." ”

"It's really inconvenient," Qin Chuchu raised his eyes to look at him, "I need a lot of porcelain in exchange for rice grain." ”

The big rice grain farmer in the system, because he likes porcelain bottles very much, seems to have opened a store, and urges her to ask for goods all day long.

Now that the supply on her side is cut off, the eldest brother must be very distressed.

Not long ago, Qin Chuchu was scolded for not being kind because he didn't look for him again.

Re-establishing the deal, for Qin Chuchu and him, everyone took what they needed, and they were all happy.

But the problem is - the current Yang'an City is not what it used to be.

Plagued by the war, it is difficult to communicate with the outside world, let alone any caravan that dares to ask for money and not die dares to transport goods.

Qin Chuchu can order from those porcelain workshops in the city, but the quantity is too large, which will arouse suspicion.

Where to sell such a large amount of things in a special season?

Qin Chuchu stretched out his hand and touched the gold bar, "Brother Yin, I can't come forward to buy porcelain, you can find a way to get it yourself, you can't make people suspect me, is it okay?" ”

"Just porcelain?"

Yin Yicheng raised his eyebrows and asked, he knew Qin Chuchu's concerns, he was not guilty, and he was guilty.

"That's all I need for now, I'll tell you if there's anything else."

Qin Chuchu couldn't help but be curious: "I don't know how you want to do this?" ”

Yin Yicheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Although I don't pay attention to military orders like a mountain, keeping my mouth shut is the most basic. ”

Qin Chuchu thought about it, with his ability, there were so many people who followed him thousands of miles away, and it was not a trivial matter to be able to escape the pursuit and come here safely, and to transport some items to her for trading without being seen and seen.

After all kinds of moves to understand the reason, the defenders of the city really recruited a lot of people this time.

There are men, women and children, a few women who avenge their relatives, and even the gray-haired old man.

claimed that several of his sons went to the army, went to the battlefield and never returned, and they didn't even have a letter to their families, and their lives and deaths were uncertain.

Where can he stay with this old bone?

When you are old, you are still willing to help, which is a rare ideological awareness.

No one persuaded the old man to go back, but he was given some light work, and so many people had to eat and drink, so many people had to have more manpower.

Once assembled in this way, the defenders of the city will look decent.

However, in the face of a prepared army of 60,000, such an offensive is estimated to be unpleasant.

Everyone thought so, and even Qin Chuchu was a little worried.

Last time, Yin Yicheng was able to lead hundreds of men and horses to successfully raid from the rear, firstly, because he was unprepared, and secondly, with the help of white phosphorus and sulfur powder.

It can be said that the time and place are favorable, and this is a smooth success.

This time it was different, Bai Jin suffered a loss, felt that he had lost face and was angry, and kept an eye on it, it was impossible to sneak attack again or something.

So, how do they stack up against others?

The situation is tense and everyone is at risk.

At this moment, Yin Yicheng gave an order and ordered the big guy to take all the straw he could find and tie it into stacks of straw.

Not long ago, the field was harvested, and most of them were rice stalks and stalks, which were either burned as firewood or fed to cattle and sheep, and they would not be used up for a while.

Yin Yicheng searched like this, and easily pulled dozens of board cars.

Qin Chuchu looked at the newly formed city defenders, one by one, obeying the command and working hard, compacting the whole bundle of straw and making it into thick squares, and couldn't help but move in his heart.

The story of borrowing arrows from a straw boat is familiar to many people......

The next day, the Baijin army couldn't hold back and launched an attack on Yang'an City.

Yin Yicheng's preparation, as Qin Chuchu expected, really used the haystack as a target.

The siege weapon of this year is the bow and arrow, and I haven't heard of anything like trebuchet, and the haystack is enough to block it.

Baijin's army had a huge lineup and plenty of archers, and one by one sharp weapons were aimed at the small gate of Yang'an City.

Just give an order to the commander, and ten thousand arrows will be fired.

According to past experience, so many bows and arrows should be shot down, and more than half of the people at the city gate should be killed or wounded.

In the face of the dense army below, they are desperate, and naturally they will be put up on the city wall by their ladder and break through the gate.

However, this time they were wrong, so many bows and arrows were fired, and all of them hit the straw target.

After shooting a full row, immediately withdraw and replace it with a new haystack.

Occasionally, a few soldiers were accidentally wounded by a bow and arrow, which was not fatal, and someone replaced him and changed the target.

Bai Jin shot four or five rounds before he realized that something was wrong.

Hu Taishen hurriedly ordered to stop archery, and looked at the city wall with his eyes, and the figures whose faces were not real.

"Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Luo Changfeng asked.

Hu Taishen pursed his lips disdainfully: "This small city, I didn't expect it to be a little capable." ”

Luo Changfeng didn't answer, the corners of his mouth didn't move, looking at his expression, he was right to talk nonsense as the other party.

"I haven't found it yet," Hu Taishen glanced at him, "all the arrows you shot have been collected." ”

"What?"

Luo Changfeng was stunned, and then reacted, he is not a fool, he was mentioned like this, and naturally understood what was going on.
