The battle at the head of the city is in full swing, and the city of Yunzhou is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

In the old days, there were only three or two people rushing through the bustling streets.

In the teahouse, the tea drinkers drank the tea in their cups in silence, and there was no longer the high-minded talk of the past, nor the hustle and bustle of the past.

Bang!

The tea bowl was put down heavily, and there was a dull crashing sound when it collided with the tabletop!

"Damn the Huns! Damn wolf cubs! will take advantage of people's danger! They have the ability to come when the prince is here! Look at us don't beat them like mice! What kind of ability is it to sneak attack while our main force is on the march! ”

A sturdy man spoke indignantly, his tone full of unconvincing!

The rest of the crowd sighed for a while, and an old man said helplessly:

"Afterlife, what's the use of being angry, that's how it is to fight, it's cheating.

It's strange to blame that we have few soldiers in Yunzhou County, otherwise if we have an army of 500,000, the prince will bring out 150,000, and we can still have 350,000, do you think the Huns still dare to provoke us? ”

"Hey!"

The strong man poured himself another bowl of tea, and after swallowing it, he said helplessly: "Somehow, the prince will not expand the army, if the army is expanded, I will be the first to become a soldier!" Those barbarians who are determined to cry and cry their fathers and mothers, and they will never dare to offend my Yunzhou County again! ”

Just now, Na looked at it and shook his head, and sighed: "Housheng, you don't understand, the prince is thinking about us."

Do you know how many Song people there are in my Yunzhou County? ”

The sturdy man shook his head blankly when he heard this.

The old man stretched out a hand and gestured to seven: "According to the latest Yunzhou Daily report, the population of the Song people in my Yunzhou County plus the six counties of the body capital has reached as much as seven million!"

However, our army is only 300,000, and we have to disperse to the East, to poison, to the Western Regions, and to protect Pontus.

It can be said that these 300,000 people are absolutely insufficient.

But why didn't the prince expand his army?

Who of you knows? ”

Everyone in the teahouse looked at each other, and then shook their heads in unison.

The old man sighed, took out a rolled cigarette and lit it with a match, took a puff and spit out a white mist before saying, "That's because the prince understands us."

The ratio of the people to the army in Yunzhou County is 1:23, in other words, the tax of 23 people supports one soldier.

Such a structure is naturally excellent for us, and the burden on everyone is not too heavy.

But if the prince expands the army, it means that the entire proportion will be reduced, and the pressure on everyone's head will be greater, and everyone will naturally not have the good life they have now.

But don't forget, the taxes we pay also have to maintain the operation of the county guard yamen and so on.

It can be said that the prince is already trying to reduce the burden on us.

Can't I expand my army with the strength of Yunzhou County?

Not before, it's just that the prince doesn't want everyone to be sad, think about why you were so sad when you were in the customs before?

In addition to the exploitation of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is not that the military expenditure on the border is higher than a year by year, and the imperial court cannot take it out, so naturally it can only continue to raise taxes. ”

After listening to the old man, everyone was silent.

The mere recollection of the old days made them feel suffocated.

It also made them understand the prince's good intentions!

The sturdy man slammed the table and got up!

He said loudly: "The prince treats me like a child, Yunzhou City is everyone's home, even if we are not soldiers, but we also have the responsibility to defend our homeland!"

I've heard that because of the lack of defenders, the soldiers at the head of the city are about to be overwhelmed.

Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, once the Xiongnu are allowed to enter the city, what will become of this city?

The big guys must have come from the gate, and everyone won't forget what happened to the barbarians in the past, right?

Do you want to watch Yunzhou City become like that? ”

The sturdy man looked at everyone, took out an iron hammer from his waist behind his back and raised it to everyone: "I don't care about others, my king blacksmith will never allow his home to fall into the hands of those wolf cubs!"

Everyone is responsible for guarding Yunzhou City, even if I am not a soldier, I will go to the city to defend the city!

All the men in the city will follow, not only for the prince, but also for your wives and children!

If you don't think you have a seed, you can stay, and I won't laugh at you. ”

After saying this, the king blacksmith no longer looked at the people carrying their hammers and went out of the teahouse towards the city gate.

As soon as he went out, another man stood up in the teahouse and said: "My surname Zhang is not the one who didn't plant, the prince rescued us from the gate, gave us food and clothing, and gave us a place to live, now that the prince is not here, it's time for us to help the prince!"

What I want to say more is that he is not the only one with the surname Wang! Lao Tzu has the same!

Boss! Lend you a knife! Next life also"

Saying that, this man came to the back kitchen in two steps, snatched the kitchen knife from the surprised cook's hand and came out, took out a silver ingot from his body, no matter how much it was more, slammed it directly on the boss's counter, and strode away!

His action was like turning on the switch, and the rest of the people couldn't sit still, with a weapon on his body, he stood up directly, dropped the tea money and left, and if he didn't, he looked at what was in the teahouse, dropped the silver and picked it up.

After a while, only the teahouse owner and a few old men remained in the teahouse where there were still some people just now, and even the cook picked up the spatula and followed out after reacting.

In the end, the boss looked at the silver on the counter and was stunned for a while, and then looked at a few old men, and the old men also looked at him.

Immediately, the boss who was in his thirties gritted his teeth, picked up the abacus and wanted to go out, but when he walked to the door, he retreated, rushed into the kitchen and actually carried the pot out, and rushed out with a pot in one hand and a rolling pin in the other, and he didn't even want the store!

Several old men looked at each other, and finally the old man who spoke up just now said: "Let their young people go to the war, if they are defeated, let the Huns fight, and we old guys will be responsible for ordering everything."

This big family business, even if it is burned out, it can't be given to the Huns, otherwise if the Huns get the technology of our Yunzhou County, the compatriots in the pass will suffer! ”

The rest of the old men nodded silently.

The streets of Yunzhou City were once again lively, but all the people walking on the streets were young and strong men, and they walked on the streets, all in one direction, and after people saw and asked, more people spontaneously joined them.

In the end, more than seventy percent of the green forms in the entire Yunzhou City actually took all kinds of things that could be called weapons and went towards the north gate to support.

Today's Yunzhou City, as the main capital, has a total population of two million, of which the number of young and strong people can reach one-third.

At this time, more than 400,000 people came to the north gate of the city, and this was the scene that Ye Yin and others saw.

With the addition of this new force, the Xiongnu were suppressed at once.

Guan Ning even saw that something was wrong, and asked the quartermaster department to distribute equipment before they had time to step forward, so that they would not carry rolling pins to the battlefield, and when the first batch was changed, they would immediately let them step forward to replace those people who were not fully equipped and let them change their equipment.

There is no shortage of equipment in Yunzhou County!

In just half an hour, the form of the battlefield was reversed in an instant!

The defenders, who were already numerically disadvantaged, grew more and more.

Originally, one Yunzhou army soldier faced four or five Huns, and now four or five Yunzhou people fought one Huns.

Guan Ning also knew that these people were not trained to let them face the Xiongnu alone and smile too much, so he directly gave full play to their strengths in being numerous, replaced them with spears, and let them guard the ladder of the Xiongnu, and stabbed them with seven or eight spears when they came up.

It doesn't matter if you haven't been stabbed to death or dodged, there is a real Yunzhong Army soldier guarding next to you, and you can also mend the knife!

All they have to do is stab!

At this time, the Huns became more desperate to die faster, and Yunzhou City instantly became impregnable!

The corpses under the city are slowly piling up!

And when Tila found out about this in the city, her face turned black as the bottom of a pot for decades!

Where did so many defenders come from, didn't it say that there were only more than 10,000 people in Yunzhou City at most?

Then the city is densely packed with people in armor who got it!

It's not like it's understaffed!

Could it be that the information sent back by the meticulous work is fake?

Tila Bebais, who didn't know the situation, was puzzled.

……

I saw the comment of a book friend, and I did admit that he was right, in these chapters, in order to retain the vitality of the Huns, the Yunzhou army was cut too hard, and I know this problem myself.

This is the reason why I didn't make a good arrangement in the front, so that the plot can only be pushed in this way later, and it's my problem.

Apologies to everyone.

I'm sorry! Ladies and gentlemen!

This aspect will be considered in the future, and this situation will not occur again! I hope you can give it another chance. Thank you!
