"Let's go! Let's go! ”

"Boss! Boss! ”

"Daddy! Father! Woowoo...... I don't want to go with them...... woo woo"

"What are you doing?! Let go of my mother-in-law and daughter! You bastards! ”

"Ahhh!!hhh

In the afternoon of the same day, the entire Heyue City was in chaos.

Everywhere the soldiers of the Zhao family were arresting the strong men, and they were all arresting those strong men who had families, and they arrested his family members in front of others and asked him to sign and paint to defend the city.

Most people had to agree, and their families were taken away by the Zhao family, so they could only go to the Zhao family to work hard to keep their families safe.

The whole Heyue City is full of scenes of wives being separated, and men with families can only helplessly draw and go to the city desperately in the face of such a scene.

The Zhao family is crazy!

Everybody says so.

Because the Zhao family did not only those people, but also the rich and wealthy gentry in the city.

Those sons and brothers who were usually powerless have all been arrested and sent to be strong men, even if these sons and brothers use power and power in their families, it is useless to use money to smash them, and the Zhao family doesn't care about anything now, they just want to be strong.

Whoever can wield a knife will go into battle.

Not to mention those sons, even the old people in many families have all been caught on the city wall as long as they are not the kind of people who have difficulty walking!

Lose your marbles! Lose your marbles!

There were cries everywhere, and this time the Zhao family really let these powerful and wealthy businessmen and ordinary people who had a huge gap in the past be treated.

Now on the walls of Heyue City, you can even see a poor man covered in patches and dressed in coarse linen and a pale face in gorgeous clothes and a boy with a hollowed out body, all standing tremblingly on the head of the city with wooden sticks in hand, watching in horror the scene of the siege of the city by the army outside.

Because there were so many people arrested, the Zhao family couldn't take out so many weapons at all, so these people were holding all kinds of things as weapons.

Outside the city, Li Dingguo watched more and more heads appear on the city, and when it was a little strange, he stretched out his hand to the side, and someone immediately sent a brass monocular clairvoyant mirror over.

This is also a specialty of Yunzhou County, and officers in the middle battalion and above of the battalion in Yunzhou County will be equipped with one to facilitate combat.

After taking the clairvoyant mirror, Li Dingguo aimed it at the wall of Heyue City, and finally saw the detailed scene on the city wall through the clairvoyant mirror.

There were indeed a lot of people in the city, but looking at the strange scenes of all of them looking frightened, wearing different clothes, and even having a weapon in their hand was just a rolling pin.

Li Dingguo, even though his mind was full of question marks, rushed to the left beside him suspiciously:

"Zuo Hui, look at the city, what the hell is this Zhao family doing? After getting so many people to go up to the city wall, he still expects to use these people to defend the city? ”

Zuo Hui also took his clairtelescope and looked at it, and then guessed: "I'm afraid that the arrival of the Japanese army will not have enough defenders in the city."

The Zhao family is probably already pulling strong men in the city, and I even saw a pot-bellied rich businessman standing on it with a black iron pot just now! ”

"What? And what's going on? ”

Li Dingguo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his hand to look at it with a clairvoyant mirror, and under the guidance of Zuo Hui, sure enough, on the city wall of the boss, a fat man wearing a foreign suit and a fat man who was about to become a ball was holding a big black cauldron in his hand, and he was standing on the head of the city with a nervous expression.

"Laughing to death, does this Zhao family want to use this rabble to block our army? It's just whimsical! ”

Seeing such an outrageous scene, Li Dingguo immediately laughed.

Zuo Hui shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that the Zhao family has jumped off the wall in a hurry, they are completely doing this to catch fish, I don't know the specific situation in the city, but we are afraid that at least half of the strong men in the city will be lost after this battle."

And even though these are just a rabble, the number of people will still affect us.

After the siege of the city, the casualties in the army will probably be greater than we expected. ”

Li Dingguo also frowned when he heard this.

Indeed, Zuo Hui is right.

Even if it is a rabble, and then the combat effectiveness is collapsed, but people are people, and one more person is always more advantageous than one less.

These more people are more resistance to their besieging side.

If nothing else, if one more person throws a stone, maybe the stone just happens to fall on the head of his own soldiers?

What's more, looking at the scene on the city wall, the Zhao family brought more than one or two.

Seeing that the number of defenders on the city wall is almost twice as large as at the beginning!

"We can't wait any longer, even if it's a rabble, we can't let the cost continue to increase like this, how is the preparation in the army now?" Li Dingguo immediately asked.

Zuo Hui immediately replied: "The preparations are almost complete, all kinds of siege weapons have been prepared, and all the soldiers in the army have returned to the team. ”

"Good!"

Li Dingguo nodded, looked at the sun in the sky, and there were only less than two quarters of an hour left before the agreed hour.

Immediately, he ordered: "When the time to announce the whole army comes, the snare drum will sound!" Attack immediately! ”

"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! ”

……

Li Dingguo's military order was conveyed, and the entire Pingwa army began to prepare.

In the other two directions, Song Deren and others naturally found something strange on the city wall.

The preparations they had just made were not enough, but there was still half an hour before Chenshi, and it was enough, and when the order to attack Chenshi was given, the soldiers who supported the Japanese army immediately accelerated and continued to prepare.

In the city, Zhao Ansheng received a report from the housekeeper Zhao Yi.

"The head of the family, two thousand strong men have been requisitioned in the city, and all their families have been brought to the vicinity of the clan land.

The strong men were all distributed among the four walls.

Now there are at least 7,000 people stationed on each city wall, and with the officers and soldiers of our former Zhao family army serving as officers, they will definitely be able to firmly hold Heyue City! ”

Zhao Ansheng nodded after hearing enough and asked, "How are the materials for defending the city?" ”

Zhao Yi's face showed embarrassment, and said:

"The head of the family, the materials of Heyue City are limited, and the materials for defending the city today are estimated to be enough for one day to touch the four walls.

Now we are most lacking in weapons, although there are 7,000 defenders on each wall, but not even a third of them have iron weapons in their hands.

A lot of people just took something and went up the wall. ”

"Not enough iron? How many blacksmiths are there in the city? Is it too late for them to catch up? ”

Zhao Ansheng frowned and asked.

Zhao Yi shook his head: "Family master, the last time the Zhao family army was formed, our Zhao family had already recruited the whole city, and since then, the blacksmiths in several nearby counties and kifu cities have been recruited.

There is no shortage of blacksmiths in us today.

But there are no raw materials.

The iron we have in reserve is no longer enough, and the previous ones have all been equipped with three thousand Cloud Breaking Xuanjia Army.

Now there is no iron in our hands, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and now even if we have a blacksmith, it has no effect. ”

"Running out of iron?"

Zhao Ansheng's brows furrowed.

At this time, the five ancestors of the Zhao family, who had been listening to the side, drinking tea silently and not speaking, spoke up.

"There was no ready-made iron that melted all the iron in the city.

In these extraordinary times, everything is about the manufacture of weapons. ”

Zhao Yi and Zhao Ansheng were stunned when they heard this.

Zhao Ansheng gestured with his eyes, and Zhao Yi immediately bowed his hand and asked carefully, "Fifth Ancestor, what do you mean?" ”

The Fifth Ancestor glanced at him, then looked at Zhao Ansheng on the side, and then snorted coldly: "What else can it mean, anyway, everyone is forced to be a strong man, what is the point of requisitioning all the iron weapons?" ”

Now the two of them understood what the Fifth Ancestor meant, and Zhao Ansheng had a smile on his face.

When he instructed Zhao Yi: "Just learn according to what the Fifth Ancestor said, collect the most iron tools as soon as possible and let those blacksmiths make weapons!" ”

"Yes...... Master, we don't have enough time, and we see that the two sides outside the city are about to attack the city. ”

Don't you understand that one more handle can be made?

We are now trying to improve our combat effectiveness as much as possible, and it is simply unrealistic to fight a large number of them now, and we can only improve everyone's combat effectiveness little by little.

Got it? ”

"Little one got it!"

Zhao Yi was stunned and immediately retreated with the order.

Soon, the Zhao family, who had just finished robbing men in the city, began to grab all the iron products in the city again.

Even if it's a hoe, they want it!

As long as it is iron, the Song family will snatch it all!
