AllBright enters a state of combat readiness.

Baskets of rolling stones, sasswood, oil and gold juice were transported to the walls of the four city gates.

The city guards were also on duty during the day to two shifts during the day and at night, ensuring that each city gate was guarded by 500 soldiers at all times.

The time to open the city gate has also been shortened to three hours a day, from Si Shi (about ten o'clock in the morning) to Shen Shi (about four o'clock in the afternoon), and the rest of the time, unless Shi An is holding a handwritten document, otherwise, even if the chief officials of the county government come to the city gate in person, it will not be opened!

As Zhang Chu's orders were carried out one by one, Jintian Mansion, which had just settled down, suddenly became panicked again.

As soon as the city gate is opened every day, the flow of people out of the city forms a long queue in front of the city gate.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Chu immediately ordered all city gates to set up cards and strictly check the flow of people out of the city.

Old people can go out of town.

Women and children were allowed to go out of the city.

If there is a direct male in the family who is in charge of the city guard or the box army, you can go out of the city!

Except for the above-mentioned groups, all adult men over the age of 16 and under 40 are not allowed to leave the city!

If you dare to forcibly rush through the pass, the hundreds of city guard soldiers guarding the city gate will be executed on the spot immediately, and the head will be hung above the city gate for public display!

As for the adult men who were stranded in Jintian Mansion, Zhang Chu, after consulting Shi Anzai, ordered the forcible conscription of people's husbands, and the number was unlimited!

It is said that it is a people's husband, but in fact, after all adult men are recruited, they are issued armor and spears, military salaries, and the intensity of training is no different from that of the Xiang army!

There is no way to do it.

The establishment of the city guard army and the box army is full, and if it is expanded without the approval of the state government, it is feared that it will be self-respecting and commit chaos.

This crime, don't say it's Zhang Chu, even Shi Anzai can't afford it!

On the contrary, it is still within the authority of the county lieutenant to recruit the people to help defend the city.

Everything is to keep AllHeaven!

......

The full moon night of February 15th!

Jing Wuyang carried a red armor soldier and entered the city in a hanging basket at the north city gate.

Zhang Chu personally stood at the head of the city to greet him.

Jing Wuyang jumped into the wall with a bloody aura, and saw Zhang Chu at a glance.

He was furious, threw the red armor soldier at hand, and slashed at Zhang Chu with the short knife on his waist: "Wang Ba calf, Lao Tzu will kill you!"

Zhang Chu pulled out the shocking cloud expressionlessly, and steadily blocked Jing Wuyang's knife.

Jing Wuyang's blood and qi are weak, it seems that the injury is not light, this knife, even he didn't have the strength of thirty percent in his heyday, how could he get Zhang Chu.

"Bastard!"

Seeing this, the mule standing beside Zhang Chu was furious, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "Come on, hack him to death!"

The Xuanwu Hall brothers who were gathered at the head of the city pulled out the long knives at their waists one after another, and stepped forward with cold eyes.

Jing Wuyang's heart was beating wildly, and only then did he realize what he had done.

This guy is even more terrible than those northern barbarians in the north!

"That's it!"

Zhang Chu picked up Jing Wuyang's short knife, his eyes swept over the red-armored soldier on the ground who was missing an arm and his face was like thin gold, and said lightly: "Brother Jing is just impulsive, don't take it to heart." ”

He can be so generous, just because Jing Wuyang's wife and children forced him to go to the north to fight for his life, this thing is really not very authentic.

"Come on, send them down to wash!"

"Doctor!"

"Prepare the banquet!"

......

The food is still warm.

Zhang Chu sat at the dining table, holding his chin with one hand, staring at the beating lights, and tapping the table with the other hand meaninglessly.

After a while, Jing Wuyang, who had changed into a pure white robe, walked in with a strong medicinal smell.

Without saying a word, he walked to the dining table and sat down, picked up his rice bowl and began to eat.

Zhang Chu didn't rush to speak, knocked on the table and patiently waited for him to finish eating.

"Bang. ”

Jing Wuyang threw the rice bowl on the table, got up and walked out: "If you have something to ask the Zhenbei sergeant yourself, I don't know anything, and besides, this time I went out, I killed more than two hundred northern barbarians, within a year, I don't want to see you again!"

Zhang Chu smiled.

Jing Wuyang's temperament, in the words of his previous life, is arrogant!

He obviously knew that he didn't refuse Zhang Chu's capital, but every time he saw him, he felt uncomfortable without putting on an arrogant expression.

It's still under-tuned!

He got up, shook his head, and walked out.

......

"Master Zhang!"

Doctor Xu was changing the dressing for the young Zhenbei sergeant, and when he saw Zhang Chu coming in, Dr. Xu hurriedly turned sideways to salute Zhang Chu, and the young Zhenbei sergeant saw this and struggled to stand up.

"If you are injured, you don't need to be polite, sit down and talk!"

Zhang Chu waved his hand and said gently.

"Doctor Xu, how is this little brother's injury?"

"Master Zhang, this little brother's broken arm injury was well treated before, and he was not contaminated with external evils, as long as the wound medicine is changed regularly, and then he is in bed for two or three months, he can be healed. ”

"Good!"

Zhang Chu nodded, "You don't have to spare the power of medicine, even if you prescribe medicine, you can go directly to Zhang's Mansion to find Fu Bozhi for the consultation fee and medicine fee." ”

"Thank you, Lord Zhang!"

"Hurry up and change the medicine, Ben still has something to ask this little brother. ”

"Yes, Master Zhang!"

Dr. Xu stepped up the bandage, and finally saluted Zhang Chu, picked up the medicine box and walked out quickly, and closed the door with him.

Only Zhang Chu was left in the house, and the Zhenbei sergeant who had a broken arm.

Zhang Chu got up and personally helped the young Zhenbei sergeant to lie down.

"Little brother, this general is Cao Zhang Chu, a soldier of Wuding County, I don't know what the little brother's surname is?

The young Zhenbei sergeant was flattered enough to get up, and replied respectfully: "Lord Qiqi Zhang, his humble name is Du He, he lives in Hong'an County, Yanqi County, and is a scout of the left army of the Zhenbei Army. ”

Zhang Chu nodded and continued: "Brother Du, this general is responsible for the defense of Wuding County, and the way of using troops is more expensive than knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy, so I bother Brother Du to pick up some things that can be said, and inform this general, this general will adjust the defense and meet the Northern Barbarians attacking the city!"

Du He: "If you don't know the word 'tired', what do you want to know, just ask, you know everything, and you can't say anything." ”

"Then thank Brother Du first...... Brother Du, dare to ask how many capable Brother Pao Ze there are in your army now?"

When Du He heard this, tears appeared in his eyes: "Back to Lord Zhang, it's less than 50,000!"

Zhang Chu was taken aback.

The Zhenbei Army is the head of the Dali Border Army, with a total of five armies, the front, the middle, the rear, the left and the right, the first army has jurisdiction over five carriages of soldiers and horses, and the other has jurisdiction over five thousand households, plus some baggage thousands of households, grain and straw thousands of households, and contracts 150,000 brave and good warriors!

In just one month, 150,000 soldiers and horses have lost more than 100,000!

"How many Northern barbarians are there who have entered the customs?"

"There are no less than 150,000, and there are also Northern Barbarian armies, which are constantly entering the customs ......"

Zhang Chu's heart sank suddenly.

This gap is too huge.
