The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 28

At noon, a group of officers and soldiers walked through the streets and alleys beating gongs.

"We're recruiting, we're recruiting, Princess Shu is recruiting workers to carry sand and stones, cook dung, and the daily salary is 200 renminbi!"

"The thrower on the city wall earns 500 renminbi a day."

"Those who have martial arts skills, kill one enemy, and reward one tael of silver!"

"Treatment of wounds, burial of death!"

"The house has sand, lime, plant ash, dung, firewood, and the palace will buy it at a high price!"

"Settlement on the same day, no arrears!" The city suddenly became lively, with money to earn and strong mobility.

Before the application deadline, 10000 migrant workers had been recruited, and 2000 of them brought their own weapons into the group.

The Shu Palace began to exchange silver and copper plates from the bank, and the large boxes were constantly transported to the Palace.Dozens of dung boiling pots and oil pots were set up at the gates of the four cities, and sand, lime powder, plant ash, etc. were also continuously transported to the city walls.

Less than half of the preparations, King Lu's large-scale ladder, catapult and sprinter arrived. If the first two days were appetizers, today is the real dinner.For a time, the four gates were attacked at the same time, the east gate and the south gate were the first to bear the brunt, and the strength of the Shu army was mainly concentrated in these two gates.

Under the cover of the shield armor, the ladder and the chariot quickly arrived at the base of the city wall. The long-distance bow and arrow temporarily lost their power, and the red tasseled spear came back again.The boiling feces are poured down, screaming, poking down and coming up again, the crowd tactics will be really useful.

Kill it, you can't feel pain in your swollen arms, and the movements are mechanically repeated. You only know that you can't let people climb over the wall.

The power of the catapult was so great that half of the cauldron at the city gate was smashed, and the nearby houses also suffered, so they quickly evacuated.The city gate continued to be smashed, and on the ladder doused with kerosene, the burning soldiers screamed loudly, and the city wall gate, which was supported by five big stone lions, creaked and creaked.

"Report! The south gate has fallen, enemy troops have entered, and support is needed!" "Those who can ride horses come out!" Cuihua, who has been traveling in Inner Mongolia for half a year, also came out. More than 200 people mounted their horses silently and rushed to the south gate quickly.

There was still some twilight in the sky in Youshi, and the enemy and us were immediately present, roaring, and headed up.One shot at one person, running and killing, rushing into the enemy.After fighting with the Shu soldiers at the south gate for half an hour, they barely defended. This enemy army came from King Ning's subordinates.General Pang was also killed with a back carbine, his shoulder was pierced, and he retreated with a cry.

The south gate, which was closed again, let out a weak breath.

At Haishi, the enemy stopped attacking and held for a day.The wages at the gate of the Shu Palace were not paid until midnight, and there were no overnight arrears.

Today's migrant workers have displayed good combat effectiveness, and sand and stones are very useful when the enemy is climbing.The Shu Palace has become more active in recruiting, and the number of large iron pots for cooking dung has doubled, and the migrant workers holding their noses to cook dung are crying, this job is so hard to get.

Gao Huaiyu was summarizing today's battle situation and deploying the next city defense at the palace, "Report, there is movement underground at the north gate!".

Deep pits were dug under the walls of the four gates of Fucheng, and large urns were buried. The urns were covered with leather, and soldiers with good ears were sent to listen carefully.I have been preventing the other party from digging tunnels into the city, as expected!The whole city collected the wormwood and kerosene scraped off, just to prepare for this trick.

He whispered to his subordinates, and returned to the first place with a sinister smile.

In order to cooperate with the tunnel excavation of the north gate, the southeast two gates continued to receive the most concentrated firepower on the fourth day.The casualties of the Shu army also gradually increased, and dozens of medical centers in the city were all expropriated (given money).

In addition to the daily food that meets the people's livelihood, the grain store was also bought by the Wangfu (Shu Bing + Linzheng + migrant workers = 2.2 people), and the Wangfu's savings were in a hurry.Cuihua makes a move and asks the princess to borrow money from the bank with the mortgage of the Shu Palace.

Now, we dare not accept the title deed of the palace?Let's borrow, let's borrow, the five banks each borrowed 20 taels, the interest is easy to say, and they should all be used to support the King of Shu.

The 100 million loan seems to be able to last for ten days and a half months, please be safe.

Cuihua has already discovered that the king and concubine of Shu don't know much about money, and it hasn't been long before the financial deficit.With iron ore weapons and no driving force (money), logistical supplies are prone to problems.

Look at the king of Lu, he is worthy of being the family of the first emperor merchant, the weapons for the siege, the armor of the soldiers, and the ability to unite with the king of Ning, all because of money.

It was another day of bloody killings, and the body seemed to have entered the grinding-in stage. After two consecutive days of exerting strength, the redness and swelling of the arms did not become more serious. When Zhang rubbed them, she cried in distress. The children were very obedient, and they were already very skilled at hiding in the cellar.

Chou Shi met Hei Wa in the space that night, and they were both dark, thin, and dry.Heiwa told Cuihua that their rescue team has been dispatched for 4 days, and they will reach Chengdu Mansion in 3 more days.

This time the king of Shu divided his troops and asked Gao Zongbing to bring 4 people back to aid, and he brought 5 people to find King Ning's trouble.Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief, and they will be able to meet outside the space in a few days.

That night, after Cuihua fell asleep, she didn't know that there was thick smoke billowing in the tunnel at the north gate, and the kerosene was running at full power. King Lu's sneak attack team suffered heavy casualties in the tunnel.The underground tunnel that was finally dug through buried his own people. It was really digging a hole and burying himself.

From the fifth day to the sixth day, King Ning Shubing, who didn't get too much bargain, hesitated to move forward. King Lu still had more than 2 troops left, and King Ning's troops were damaged less than 2, with more than 5 left. The two kings had a total of 2000 people, with [-] casualties.The King of Shu also lost more than [-] people, and he still has to make money.

The two armies negotiated again and fought to the death.

On the seventh day, the Lu army, who hated the King of Shu, captured a group of women, children and children, tied them to chariots and marched forward, making them cry continuously:

"Help me, princess, we are from Shu!"

"Princess save me, my man is going to battle with King Shu, you can't leave us alone!"

"Princess, concubine, help me!" Seeing this scene, everyone on the tower was furious.Is this still human?Such a shameless imitation of the northern Tatar's insidious tricks, this is a citizen of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The chariot was getting closer and closer, and everyone on the city wall drew their bows and waited in full force. There was no military order, and they dared not shoot indiscriminately.Everyone's eyes were red. It is inevitable that some of these civilians have their own relatives.
