Lord Moyu was forced to open

"Go! Let's go!"

"The head of the house! The head of the house!"

"Father! Father! Woooooooo... I don't want to go with them..."

"What are you doing?! Let go of my wife and daughter! You bastards!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

That afternoon, the entire Heyue City was in chaos.

Everywhere Zhao's soldiers are arresting strong men, and they are always arresting strong men with families. They arrest his family members in front of others and ask him to sign and draw them to guard the city. Let their whole family go to heaven on the spot.

Most people had no choice but to agree. Their family members were taken away by the Zhao family. They could only go to the Zhao family to do their best to keep their family members safe.

The entire Heyue City was full of scenes of wives and children being separated. Facing such a scene, all the men with family members had no choice but to go to the city and go all out.

The Zhao family is crazy!

All say so.

Because the Zhao family didn't just do this to the common people, they also didn't let go of the rich and powerful families in the city.

Those young masters who were usually powerless were also arrested and became strong men. Even if these young masters were suppressed by power, it was useless to spend money on them. The Zhao family didn't care about anything now, they just wanted strong men.

Anyone who can hold a knife will go to the battlefield.

Not to mention those sons and gentlemen, even the elderly in many families were all caught on the city wall unless they had difficulty walking!
crazy!crazy!
There were crying and howling everywhere. This time, the Zhao family really treated these wealthy businessmen and ordinary people who were very different from each other in the past.

Now on the city wall of Heyue City, you can even see a poor man covered in patches all over his body, dressed in rough linen, and a young man in a fancy dress with a pale face and his body has been hollowed out, both trembling with sticks in their hands. Standing on the top of the city, looking in horror at the scene of the army besieging the city outside.

Since there were too many people arrested, the Zhao family couldn't bring out so many weapons at all, so these people used all kinds of things as weapons.

Outside the city, Li Dingguo watched more and more human heads appearing on the top of the city from a distance, and when he felt a little strange, he stretched out his hand to the side, and someone immediately sent a brass monocular telescope over.

This is also a specialty of Yunzhou County. Officers in the mid-battalion and above in Yunzhou County will be equipped with one to facilitate combat.

Taking the binoculars, Li Dingguo pointed it at the city wall of Heyue City, and finally saw the detailed scene on the city wall through the binoculars.

There were indeed a lot of people in that city, but they all looked terrified, dressed in different clothes, and even had a rolling pin as a weapon in their hands.

Li Dingguo returned to the left beside him in doubt, with question marks all over his head:
"Zuo Hui, look at the top of the city, what the hell is this Zhao family doing? He has so many people on the city wall, and he still expects to use these people to defend the city?"

Zuo Hui also took a look at his binoculars, and then guessed: "I am afraid that the arrival of the Japanese army will make the city's defenders not enough.

The Zhao family is probably already recruiting strong men in the city. I even saw a rich businessman with a big belly holding a black iron pot on it just now! "

"What? What else?"

Li Dingguo was startled when he heard the words, and hurriedly raised his hand to look through the binoculars. Under the guidance of Zuo Hui, he saw a fat man wearing a foreign uniform, who was almost as fat as a ball, holding a big black pot with a serious expression on the city wall of the boss. Standing nervously on the top of the city, looking left and right.

"Laughing to death, is this Zhao family trying to use this group of mobs to block our army? It's simply whimsical!"

Seeing such outrageous scenes, Li Dingguo immediately laughed.

But Zuo Hui shook his head and said: "The Zhao family may have jumped the wall in a hurry. What they did was trying to catch a fish. I don't know the specific situation in the city, but after our battle, at least half of the strong men in the city will die." or not.

And although these are just rabble, a large number of people will still affect us.

When we attack the city, the casualties in the army may be greater than we expected. "

Li Dingguo also frowned upon hearing this.

Indeed, Zuo Hui was right.

Even if it is a mob, no matter how weak the fighting power is, people are people, and one more person is always more advantageous than one less.

There are so many people, it is more resistance for them to attack the city.

Among other things, if one more person threw a stone, maybe the stone just fell on the forehead of one's own soldier?

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 has more than doubled from the beginning!
"We can't wait any longer. Even if it is a mob, we can't let the cost continue to increase like this. How is the preparation in the army?" Li Dingguo asked immediately.

Zuo Hui immediately replied: "The preparations are almost done, and all kinds of siege weapons have been prepared. All the soldiers in the army have returned to the army. As long as you give an order, General, we can start to attack the city!"

"it is good!"

Li Dingguo nodded and looked at the sun in the sky. It seemed that it was less than two quarters of an hour before the agreed time.

Immediately, he ordered: "When the time comes to announce the arrival of the army, the army drums will sound! The whole army will attack immediately!"

"Yes! This subordinate takes orders!"

……

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

Song Deren and others in the other two directions naturally also noticed the strangeness on the city wall.

They didn't prepare enough when they first came, but there was still half an hour before Chenshi, which was enough. When the order to attack at Chenshi was given, the soldiers who held the Japanese army immediately accelerated and continued to prepare.

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

"Patriarch, 2000 strong men have been recruited in the city, and their families have all been brought to the vicinity of the clan.

The strong men were also allotted to the four walls.

Now there are at least 7000 people stationed on each city wall, and our former Zhao family army officers and soldiers will surely be able to firmly guard Heyue City! "

Zhao Ansheng nodded after hearing enough, and asked, "How about the supplies for the defense of the city?"

Zhao Yi showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and said:
"Patriarch, Heyue City's supplies are limited, and the current supplies for defending the city are estimated to be enough for a day if you go to the four walls.

What we lack most now are weapons. Although there are [-] defenders on each city wall, not even a third of them have iron weapons in their hands.

Many people went up to the city wall with random objects. "

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

Zhao Ansheng frowned and asked.

Zhao Yi shook his head: "Patriarch, when our Zhao family formed the Zhao family army last time, our Zhao family had already recruited the blacksmiths from the whole city and several nearby county towns and kimono cities.

Now we have no shortage of blacksmiths.

But there is no raw material.

Our iron reserves are no longer enough, and the previous ones have all been equipped with three thousand Poyunxuanjia troops.

Now that there is no iron in our hands, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Now even if we have a blacksmith, it is useless. "

"Out of iron?"

Zhao Ansheng frowned tightly.

At this time, the Fifth Patriarch of the Zhao family who had been listening to him while drinking tea in silence spoke out.

"There is no ready-made iron to melt all the iron in the city.

In these extraordinary times, everything starts with weapon manufacturing. "

Zhao Yi and Zhao Ansheng were taken aback when they heard this.

Zhao Ansheng gestured with his eyes, and Zhao Yi immediately cupped his hands and asked cautiously, "Fifth Patriarch, what do you mean?"

The Fifth Patriarch glanced at him, then looked at Zhao Ansheng at the side, and then snorted coldly: "What's the point? Anyway, people are forced to become strong men, so what's the point of recruiting all the iron tools?" ?”

Now the two of them understood what the Fifth Patriarch meant, and a smile appeared on Zhao Ansheng's face.

Dang even ordered to Zhao Yi: "Just follow what the Fifth Patriarch said, and collect the most iron tools as soon as possible for those blacksmiths to forge weapons!"

"But... Patriarch, we may not have enough time, and the two sides outside the city are about to attack the city."

Don't you understand if you can make one more handle?

We are now trying to improve our combat effectiveness as much as possible. It is simply unrealistic to manufacture large quantities of them now. We can only improve everyone's combat effectiveness a little bit.

Do you understand? "

"Little one understands!"

Zhao Yi was stunned, and immediately retreated with the order.

Soon, the Zhao family, who had just robbed the men in the city, began to rob all the iron products in the city.

Even a hoe they want!
As long as it is iron, the Song family will take it all away!
