Chapter 764: The Defense of Danluo City (4)

Jin Ling, who had emptied half of the left Lujun's granary, came to Caoyuanju Inn in Nanshuixian Township with a smile on his face. In the parking lot behind the inn, there were traffic. One carriage after another piled up the whole lot of food, vegetables, jerky and other items, and then the workers in Jinyuan moved it across the warehouse behind Zheng.

This was purchased vigorously by Jinyuan according to his instructions.

Due to the war, the prices of grain, meat and vegetables on the market soared, and everyone snatched them. However, Jinyuan started out in an inn and restaurant business and had a stable supply chain, so it raised a large number of supplies in a short period of time.

At the same time, the Gu family and other allies in Jinyuan also took various measures to raise a large amount of supplies and sent them to the warehouse one after another. In the afternoon, Jin Ling filled the space of the Xianyu bracelet with 80%. Then the remaining space was desperately filled with wine. After the Jinyuan Quji wine was brewed, the high-level lees left behind were almost cost-free stuff, and they were mixed with water and stored in a large tank of water.

"What's the use of the young master bringing these things?" The shopkeeper of Caoyuanju Inn asked in confusion, "These are all residues and impurities left over from brewing wine. They are useless except for higher degrees. In the Northern Jin Kingdom, ordinary diners don't drink it."

"The barbarians like wine as life, but their income is small. The wine they give them only needs to be strong and don't care about the taste." Jin Ling smiled, "These many missing wine lees may have a miraculous effect of winning people's hearts!"

"In addition, these materials are only used to accumulate in Jinyuan Village, and they must not be taken away by me," he reminded.

"Yes, young master." said the shopkeeper, "I am the old man from Jinyuan. Everything will be kept a tight-lipped and know the solution."

"Actually, it doesn't matter." Jin Ling smiled. "Many people suspect that I have a strange treasure, but they don't know what kind of treasure it is, and they have been coveting it. Now, they know that I have a ring that can transport a large number of supplies, which will relieve a lot of doubts. This may not be a bad thing."

......

"It's done?"

The central tent of the right army, Luqiu Zhiping had just returned to the camp, when Tong Yu, who had received the news, quickly called him and asked.

"Congratulations to the commander." Luqiu Zhiping said, "Under my analysis of interests and our Jin-Yuan offensive, the leader of the Wulifan of the Loufang tribe has agreed to immediately send troops to attack the Shangui tribe."

"This is great!" Tong Yu slapped the table, "Mr. Luqiu, your plan to kill someone with a knife is good. This way, we can eliminate the troubles of the Second Prince without much effort. It is wonderful! Great!"

Luqiu Zhiping was also very proud of his diplomatic achievements and smiled.

"Report!" The fast horse spies in the army came quickly and broke into the report directly, "Report to the commander! General Sowell from the Shangui Ministry led more than 10,000 troops to attack the Jinyuan army and rebels in the Danluo area. As soon as they started fighting, they were scared away by a powerful firearm! The barbarians dispersed and retreated to the Port of Flata, and their troops were dispersed for eight out of ten!"

"What!" Before they could celebrate each other, Tong Yu and the other stood up in surprise.

"Sowell's hands are not 20,000 elite soldiers..." Tong Yu felt uncomfortable as if he was suddenly stuffed with a hard steamed bun. "Even if Jinyuan had that kind of fire thunder in his hand, it wouldn't scare the 20,000 people away..."

He remembered the miserable phenomenon of Ye Zheng's defeat in the fury of Fire and Thunder, begging for mercy in front of the young man. Although Ye Zheng had concealed it for a while, he finally told the truth. The power of Fire and Thunder made Tong Yu always envious and hate him, and he couldn't get it.

"The barbarian soldiers are foolish people. The Danluo area was occupied, and most of them had their families in the city, so they were already panicked. Moreover, when they heard that the barbarian soldiers went to fight, they basically did not carry food and fodder with them. They had already fought at sea, and everyone was hungry, and they had little fighting spirit. Therefore, it was normal for people to disintegrate under that thunder." Luqiu Zhiping was a little frustrated, "However, when Sowell was defeated, the Lou Fang troops sent troops to less friendly forces that could respond."

"The people in Jinyuan are really hateful!" Tong Yu said angrily, thinking of the death of his confidant Song father and son that day, he clenched his teeth.

"There is no need to worry too much." Luqiu Zhiping said, "Sowell retreated to the Port of Flata, which is still a constraint on Jinyuan. Their supplies cannot be transported. The 100,000 barbarians in the Danluo area also need supplies for living. If you don't need a few, you will collapse without fighting. With the full attack of Loufang's troops, even if you can reach the level, you can't reach the level. Commander, please wait and see the show."

Tong Yu was a little relieved.

......

The tightly built city into Nei San, and the walls of Danluo City were more than ten feet high and very thick. Many of the stones for building the city were transported from the newly built stone yard on the mountain outside the city.

Since Sowell withdrew from the army, Nangong Shoujiu, the captain of the Jinyuan Logistics Support Brigade, led his men to open a stone yard on the mountain outside the city to mine stones. The barbarian fishermen with all their strength will open up their arms for Jinyuan under the temptation of a little commission.

Another part of the stone was removed from some scattered residential houses outside the city construction area. Jinyuan gave high compensation to every household who demolished the house, and the compensation was enough for which family to build two new houses. At present, they could only temporarily live in Zheng, the tent.

The craftsmen in Jinyuan used the method of smashing some stones into powder and burning them into lime to strongly condense the gap between the stones. The city walls created in this way were very solid and were enough to withstand huge impact forces.

The newly built Danluo City is rectangular, with a large city area and four city gates. Each city gate is guarded by Jinyuan advance team. Some of the city walls have a road that can be guarded, with a large number of arrows, and a post every half of the mile, which is stationed by Jinyuan and some minions.

This is Jin Ling's opinion.

Although such a scale and pattern are very difficult in defense, and there will be extremely high costs and material consumption in building a city, he does not need a city with a strong aura. He wants to build Danluo City into the most dazzling pearl near the south bank of Manze, a city with the most prosperous one belonging to Jinyuan and will bring huge profits.

Jinyuan must always be worthy of the investments of allies such as the Gu family, right?

Due to Sowell's retreat, the large number of barbarians and the people scattered outside had a greater fear of the new patriarch and outsiders.

They no longer have confidence in their tribe regaining the lost land. They are concerned about their relatives, and they hear that these outsiders do not kill people indiscriminately, and they still have a lot of money to pay for their work. So under such a mentality, the migrant soldiers and refugees gradually moved closer to Danluo City from all directions. After simple identity verification, they can enter the city and participate in the construction of the city wall.

There are a lot of labor, but at the same time, there is more food consumption. For barbarians like the Shangui clan who rely on fishing for land for a living, the consumption brought by sticking to the city is very huge. As the ruler, Jinyuan not only needs enough money and grain to support soldiers, but also enough money and grain to help the people.
