Chapter 287 What the people want?

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With Zhou Dongnan's conscription order issued, and the news of the defeat of the frontline siege army spread, all the people in the cities in Dazhou were in danger, and the soldiers in the army  Soldiers are arresting people everywhere, not to mention some young and strong youths, even some men in their 40s and 50s, as long as they have healthy limbs, they will all be taken away. It is enough to see that Zhou Dongnan was really forced this time.  Anxious.

    ?In comparison, the people in the three cities of Dongjing City, Songshan City and Songhe City that fell into Luo Ji's hands lived a more stable life.

    Because for the people of these three cities, after Luo Ji captured the city, the only thing he did was to seal off the gates on both sides.  Once the soldiers of the Great Zhou captured the city, they would burn, kill and loot, and they usually bullied men and women on their own land. Compared with the style of bullying men and women, the two groups of people can be said to be superior to each other.

    In this way, after the first few days of fear, the people who had realized this also simply lived their lives peacefully.

    However, peace is peace, and there are still some troubles. For example, because of the closed city gate, many people have no food left at home because they cannot go out of the city to farm and work.

    Regarding this matter, Luo Ji acted straightforwardly, and directly waved his hand and asked someone to set up a few big pots of pie porridge in the center of the city.  More troublesome things will definitely happen from time to time.

    Just take their history of the Celestial Dynasty as an example. How did the Yellow Turban Uprising come about at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?  It's not because of the famine. The peasants have no land to plant and no food to eat. At this time, if a big brother who takes the lead in doing things comes out, isn't it just a peasant uprising?  That is, from that moment on, the Han Dynasty began to end all the way.

    Of course, the situation here is not that exaggerated, but in case a gang of unscrupulous people are extremely hungry, it would be very troublesome to do something for them. Luo Ji didn't intend to deal with such bad things.  Food, directly filled all the granaries and barracks warehouses in his cities. At this time, he was not short of food at all, so why should he be stingy with that little rice?

    At the same time, Luo Ji's move also unexpectedly earned him a good reputation in these three cities. He was clearly occupying other people's cities, but somehow he had a sense of what the people wanted.  Zhou Yi, who had just surrendered, and the soldiers under his command also shouted "Leader's benevolence and righteousness", and their loyalty began to rise. I don't know if Zhou Dongnan saw the scene here, would he  He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

    Getting back to the topic, after that battle, after four days of rest, all the seriously injured soldiers had been sent back to Xiyuan City to recuperate, and the troops who replaced them were the sword and shield troops led by Liu Meng!

    Before the start of the war, Luo Ji ordered 60% of the craftsmen in the Ordnance Forging Department to forge bronze sabers with all their strength. Now that more than half a month has passed, the bronze sabers that have been rushed out with all their efforts, plus the previous inventory, have left Liu Meng in a short period of time.  Within a short period of time, a sword and shield army of more than 700 people was formed!

    Liu Meng, who had healed from his injuries, obviously had enough energy to go to the front line this time, and he was completely ready to lead the new troops to avenge their shame and make great contributions.

    But at present Luo Ji has encountered a troublesome thing, that is, the three-bow bed crossbow has no arrows

    In fact, it is a bit wrong to say that. The heavy crossbow arrows shot before will undoubtedly be picked up when the battlefield is cleaned up after the war. After all, each of these heavy crossbow arrows can be said to be expensive.  Disposable items used?  Not to mention the heavy crossbow arrows, even the arrows shot by the archers and the stone bullets thrown by the slingers are all recyclable, so try to recycle them as much as possible.

    However, military equipment like this cannot be reused as long as it is picked up, because the bronze arrowheads will wear out. The heavy crossbow arrows of the three-bow bed crossbow are usually used three to five times before they should be sent back.  The Ordnance Forge has been rebuilt.

    And in the previous battle, all the heavy crossbow arrows were shot at the siege tower covered with bronze armor plates!  One can imagine what the bronze arrowhead will look like when it hits such a thick bronze armor plate. The arrowhead part is seriously damaged. Although it can still be used, the destructive power to the city walls and gates is already great.  decline.

    Sensing this point, Li Kuo, the general defending the city of Shangyuan City, decisively chose not to defend the city. The opponent's army defending the city had a lot of troops, and with the city wall as a support, for a while, this city of Shangyuan City was really  Unable to attack, Luo Yong, Liu Meng, and Guo Zhen were so angry that the three elders took turns shouting outside the city every day.

    On the contrary, Luo Ji was relatively calm, mainly because it was useless to be anxious. After two rounds of siege battles, Li Kuo made it clear.A general who is good at defending the city, the entire city wall was guarded airtight by him. Without the three bows and crossbows to destroy the city walls and gates, he wanted to capture this Shangyuan City with only those ladders.  The difficulty is obviously too high.

    However, Luo Ji had already ordered the Ordnance Forging Department in the rear to make a batch of heavy crossbow arrows dedicated to the three-bow bed crossbow. Calculating the time, it should be delivered in a few days

    He was waiting for heavy crossbow arrows to attack the city, while Li Kuo on the opposite side was obviously waiting for Zhou Dongnan's reinforcements. Luo Ji could be said to be well aware of this, but he didn't panic at all.  After this series of battles, Zhou Dongnan's strength in his hands is estimated to have reached more than 8,000.

    And counting the more than 2,000 defenders in Shangyuan City, how much more troops can Zhou Dongnan have?  Luo Ji can almost say with certainty that the total strength of the regular army in Zhou Dongnan's hands does not exceed four thousand!  Maybe even only around three thousand.

    After the siege army in Shangyuan City was defeated and retreated, Zhou Dongnan, who realized that the situation was not good, was probably forcing conscription everywhere at this time, right?  However, these miscellaneous soldiers who have not received training and are directly thrown onto the battlefield after being recruited by force, what else can they do except to die?

    But Luo Ji is different. His biggest advantage now is that he swallowed Wang Lucong's civilization before, which provided him with a large number of soldiers!

    For the convenience of management, Luo Ji broke up these surrendered troops and distributed them to the various cities under his command. Now, he only needs to recruit these surrendered troops again. Luo Ji does not know whether these surrendered troops have received  What level of military training, however, is better than the farmers who were still plowing the land and grazing cattle before!
