And there is nothing to be a pity for the residence. The wealthy families have houses in the provincial capital, so they won’t have no place to settle down. Anyway, the shops are there, and gold coins are still rolling in. As for the fields, when the Emperor returns, isn’t the fields still own?

Since they were willing to give up, the smart wealthy families immediately expressed their efforts to defend the city and donated a batch of food, clothing, medicine and other supplies, and also said that their residences would be used by the troops.

Anyway, these things that cannot be taken away will be ruined by the bandits sooner or later. Since this is the case, it would be better to sell personal favors and enjoy them for your own soldiers.

The children and nephews of these rich people were not in the city, they all enjoyed their fortunes in the provincial capital, so they left. And the ordinary wealthy families were unhappy because their nephews were recruited.

They originally wanted to bribe Zhao Hu and let their nephews leave, but Zhao Hu said, "By the way, I think there are not enough strong men guarding the city. I am going to enlist male men aged 12 to 60 into the army." This sentence changed their faces and retreated with tears under the pull of other rich people.

As for the necessary supplies to defend the city, Zhao Hu would not be polite and thank you for accepting it.

If I hadn't been short of money, I'd probably have offered to pay for these supplies long ago. I didn't expect these rich people to be so generous.

As for where Zhao Hu's money went? This time he brought 100,000 gold coins, and the wing's food was 20,000 yuan, and the salary was 10,000 yuan. The rest, including the wealth collected from the wing's inventory, was used to buy domestic animals fed by the people.

These livestock are like family members who are willing to take away the livestock when they walk by themselves. Zhao Hu had no choice but to spend money to buy them. The people's hearts are changing. When they see the yellow gold coins, the meat in the hearts of these people was immediately sold out by their owners.

After finishing the work of the marshalling people, they began to worry about safety on the road.

With the mentality of not being very wrong, Zhao Hu allocated a thousand soldiers who had experienced bloody battles and joined the troops of the two thousand frail men, and was under the jurisdiction of Sun Jie.

Although the city defense lacks this thousand force, the sense of security in the hearts of the people when they see these soldiers with murderous auras all over their bodies rises sharply.

At the same time, Zhao Hu also spent a lot of money and drew a team from the few cavalry to escort them all the way. With these cavalry, the migration team could detect the situation from a distance.

Of course, the remaining cavalry were sent out to monitor the movements of the bandits. When they noticed that the bandits sent half of their men into the forest to cut down trees, Zhao Hu gave the order and the gate leading to the provincial capital slowly opened.

As soon as the city gate opened, more than a dozen cavalrymen who fought for the vanguard rushed out quickly, followed by five hundred fully armed soldiers opening the way, and then men and strong women gathered on top of the carriages, old and young, lined up to leave the city in the order of the blocks in the city.

At the end were five hundred strong men and more than ten cavalrymen to escort the formation, while the other two thousand strong men were concentrated on both sides of the center of the team to escort.

The soldiers in the city were all crowded on this wall watching their relatives leave. Everyone was speechless. No one knew if they had the chance to reunite with their family, but the safe departure of their family could at least give them some comfort, at least without worries.

Among them, the old blacksmiths in the city were recruited. There was no way to do this. They needed to point out the use of casting arrows and repairing weapons. As for the apprentices of the young blacksmiths and the blacksmiths, they had been recruited long ago.

The people on Zhao Hu left the city, and the soldiers who logged wood from Shanyue also came back. However, it was strange that they did not immediately create siege equipment such as ladders, but instead made fences to surround Shanyue's camp. Judging from their appearance, they were afraid of sneak attacks in the city.

Because Shanyue people logged wood in the mountains and forests, they inevitably stood high and looked far, so it was natural that a large number of people evacuated in Jinwen City.

Lei Ming, who received this report, didn't care. Honestly, they occupied the imperial territory only for the sake of land. The people on the land did not care. They were not only used as slaves or sold. They could only be regarded as extra money and not the main target of the battle.

Lei Ming inadvertently gave this to Tang Feng. Tang Feng looked at the soldiers still on the city tower and couldn't help but sigh. The other party evacuated the people but left the troops behind. It was obvious that they were preparing to fight to the death. It seemed that the losses in the next siege would be huge.

When night began to fall, countless torches emerged from the mountains and forests in batches and then gathered in the Shanyue Camp.

"How are the soldiers reacting?" Zhao Hu asked Zhou Wen after a look at the mountain camp in the distance.

"Under the boast of the previous batch of soldiers who participated in the battle, the soldiers were full of optimistic attitude and their morale was also very exciting. In addition, with the good wine and meat, some soldiers actually thought that fighting every day was good enough." Zhou Wen said with a smile.

Zhao Hu smiled and said that the soldiers' food is better than the imperial guards, and there is nothing we can do about it. The wealthy families left behind a large amount of food, wine, livestock and other supplies, and each household had several livestock purchased. Such a good wine and meat meal was enough to supply these nearly 20,000 soldiers for several months.

Zhao Hu and his men did not consider saving money. Anyway, after the training, either the security division came to rescue him or break through the encirclement and leave. These supplies were not their own. At that time, either sent to others or burned them. Since this is the case, it would be better to take advantage of yourself.

"Transfer these guys who think the war is wonderful into a team and let them participate in the second and third rounds of battles." Zhao Hu suddenly issued such an order.

The next day, the Shanyue soldiers did not launch an attack. In addition to continuing to cut down trees, they were teams of dozens or hundreds of people, emerging from the mountains and forests into the Shanyue camp.

"So far, how many Shanyue people have entered the enemy camp?" Zhao Hu asked the officer guarding the city tower.

"There are thirty-four shares at night. According to the torch, each share is about thirty-forty. Until dawn, there are fifty-six shares, nearly 100 people per share." The officer replied immediately.

"Well, that is, the other party has increased by about six or seven thousand people?" Zhao Hu said.

"Yes, sir, fortunately, I sent the people out yesterday, otherwise they would have drawn out three thousand people to attack the people, and we really don't know what to do." The officer was Zhao Hu's personal guard and his words were not so restrictive.

"Well, that's true. After all, we cannot guarantee that these new recruits can compete with each other in the field. If the people are attacked and flee in panic, we may lose our morale and flee the team to find their relatives." Zhao Hutou said.

"Sir, what should we do now? Just watch the other party increase the number of people like this?" Looking at the bandits who were still appearing, the officer's face looked solemn.

"We can only wait for the enemy to attack the city now. We rely on the city to not only train soldiers, but also the most favorable guarantee. If we are in the wild, I am afraid I will not have the confidence to defeat the Shanyue soldiers.

"Besides, 20,000 of us are enough to withstand the fierce attack of 100,000 Shanyue soldiers. Pass these words out and let the soldiers train with peace of mind." Zhao Hu said.

"Yes." As a confidant officer, of course, he received the order and acted.

In the Shanyue Camp, Lei Ming looked at the rushing men happily.

It's wonderful. Without spending any benefits, there are so many strong men in vain. Moreover, these strong men have their own weapons. At that time, they can just send them to the battlefield. However, these guys did not bring food and were ready to eat as a big family.

But there was no way. For the sake of the mountain regiment, they had to be responsible for the food. Now they had to send people to hunt and store the food in advance, so as not to increase or decrease the number of strong men in the future and not be enough to consume.

Lei Ming knew very well the name of his tribe, and it was impossible for the tribe members within a radius of hundreds of miles to send strong men to help fight. Although his tribe is also quite powerful, when will the Shanyue people be afraid of the powerful? They all came from the famous sign of the Shanyue Group.

Hehe, relying on this signboard, I saved myself a lot of trouble. When their strong men are finished, they will annex their tribes, so that their tribes will grow much stronger immediately.

In the past, I was afraid of causing trouble for my uncle at the gathering place, so I didn’t dare to use the signs of the mountain group to seek benefits. Now that I have come to the border, and the mountains are high and the clans are far away, and I don’t make a lot of benefits. That’s just an idiot! Lei Ming hummed a mountain song proudly while ordering his subordinates to hunt.

Tang Feng is not as leisurely as Lei Ming. These Shanyue people came for the sake of the mountain group. As the leader of the mountain group, they had to talk to them no matter how much they praised. After some praise, these tribe leaders patted their chests with excitement, allowing Tang Feng to easily regroup their strong men.

Although Tang Feng wanted his tribe to gain a lot of benefits, he did not let Lei Ming serve as officers in the newly formed troops, because this would definitely make the tribe leader disturb. Tang Feng understood this concern very well.

Tang Feng sent members of the Shanyue Regiment as officers, and no one had any objection to these heroes of the entire Shanyue clan as their superiors.

Tang Feng took the sign of the mountain regiment, and immediately made the new troops obey their orders with convincingly.

On that day, the Shanyue people who came to surrender never stopped. On this day, the Shanyue soldiers did not launch an attack, either busy forming troops or building siege equipment.
