After making ruthless words, Mo Chao took advantage of the chaos and escaped from Cangyi City with the only remaining manpower. After they left the city, the archer on the top of the city seemed to know that he could not kill Mo Chao, so he shifted his target and aimed at Mo Chao's subordinates, one arrow, but no arrow was lost.

After Mo Chao escaped to a safe distance, he counted the manpower. Originally, 300 people were involved, but now only one-tenth of them came back. The rest were either shot or fled directly while the chaos.

Looking at the dozens of remaining people, Mo Chao's face turned pale. He was full of confidence and wanted to cheat the city, but the city did not cheat and he almost explained it inside. This made Mo Chao's heart full of frustration.

He took a deep breath and looked towards the head of Cangyi City. The reason why he fell so badly this time was entirely because he was too arrogant.

After returning from the border army, he had seen the ferocity of the barbarians and experienced the sea of ​​corpses and blood. In fact, he looked down on this Cangyi City, which had never experienced war. Because of this, he insisted on entering the city even though he knew that there was an ambush in Cangyi City.

Because he felt that such a city that had never fought a war had no idea what war was. Even if there was an ambush, with his own strength and three hundred elites, he would be enough to fight a path of blood.

But it turns out that he was wrong. The guards of Cangyi City may not be worth mentioning, but the county magistrate of Cangyi City is definitely a difficult character!

Mo Chao had reason to believe that Ducang had definitely known his strength for a long time. Although he didn't know where this archer came from, he probably had Ducang specifically called him to deal with him.

"Do you think that a archer can defend the city?"

Mo Chao was secretly angry in his heart, "Wait, I will let you know what a large army is facing!"

...

Looking at Mo Chao who was running away from Cangyi City, Ducang sighed with regret: "What a pity, I couldn't kill him."

The archer was a little dull. He put away the exaggerated giant bow in his hand, carried it behind his back, then took a step forward, came to Ducang, and was silent for a moment before asking, "Mr. Du, is it worth it?"

This archer is extremely tall. Ducang, who is standing beside him, is already tall, but standing beside him, it is like a child.

Hearing the question of the God's Archer, Du Cang said with a firm look: "Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Is it worth it and I will bear the worries of you."

"Since I am the county magistrate of Cangyi City, I should be responsible for Cangyi City. Unless I die, I will never let these traitors step into Cangyi City."

After hearing what Ducang said, the archer shook his head gently. He was not good at speaking at all. Seeing Ducang's resolute expression at this time, he didn't know how to persuade Ducang.

After a while of silence, he spoke again: "Cangyi City is the gateway to Pingzhou, and King Yu will definitely not let it go."

"If they sent a large army to attack at any cost, with the small amount of troops in the city, I'm afraid even if I had me, I wouldn't be able to hold it for too long."

"I know, but we don't need to stay for long."

Du Cang knew this issue well, but he was not too worried about it. "King Yu was the first to rebel. No matter what the court is in the current situation, His Majesty would never tolerate King Yu."

"Now Your Majesty has 30,000 Yulin Army and the 2,000 Yuzhi Army composed of warriors. As long as Your Majesty sends them out, no matter whether you can destroy King Yu or not, Cangyi City will not be dangerous."

When Ducang said this, he directly erased the 10,000 Yuzhi Army, which Mo Zizai's new move. After all, in his opinion, the 10,000 new army is better than the farmer and is not considered combat power at all. There is no need to count them in the statistics.

"But there is a prerequisite for all this."

Speaking of this, Ducang looked up at the archer and said, "That is, our Cangyi City, can we defend until the Yulin Army arrive?"

"It will take about five days to get to the capital here."

The God's archer thought about it for a while, then said, "If the army sent by King Yu does not exceed 10,000, with the strength of the city, I will be sure to hold it for five days."

"Ten thousand..."

Ducang thought about the information from Prince Yu's Mansion, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What if there are more than 30,000 people?"

"Um?"

The God's Archer looked at Ducang in disbelief, "Where did so many troops come from the Prince Yu's Mansion?"

"According to my calculations, the Prince Yu's Mansion can maintain at least 30,000 troops."

Ducang's tone was very firm, and then asked the God's Bowler, "If there were 30,000 people, could you hold on for five days?"

"cannot!"

The archer shook his head very simply, "Just relying on these county guards in the city, let alone five days, it would be a blessing to be able to hold on for one day."

There are only two thousand people in the city now, and many of them were temporarily summoned by Ducang some time ago. Although it is okay to use it to defend the city, don’t think about what kind of combat effectiveness they have.

If there are only 10,000 people siege the city, then I can still think of a way to hold on for three or five days. But if there are 30,000 people, then I should surrender early. The number difference is too large and there is no need to be beaten at all.

"You must guard even if you can't."

Seeing that the God's Bowman had no hope at all, Du Cang's expression couldn't help but look a little ugly. He took a deep breath and said, "If two thousand people are not enough, then I will recruit people again."

"If it really doesn't work, I will mobilize the people from the city to defend the city. In short, before the Yulin Army arrives, Cangyi City must not be lost."

After hearing what Ducang said, the archer of the archer couldn't help it and asked, "Mr. Du, what if the court does not send reinforcements?"

There are only 30,000 Yulin Army left in the imperial court, and the 30,000 Yulin Army still have to protect the capital. Why is Ducang so sure that the empress will send the Yulin Army?

"The court will definitely send reinforcements."

Ducang glanced at the archer and said without any doubt: "Now the one in the court is the king of Zizai. He has never been a person who suffers losses. Now that King Yu dares to rebel, even if he strives to expand the family background of Zhou, he will not let King Yu go."

"So before the reinforcements from the court arrive, we must defend Cangyi City."

After saying that, Ducang didn't say much, and turned around and got down the city wall. King Yu's army might arrive at any time. Now he is going to the city to call the big families out of his sleep and discuss the matter of resisting King Yu's army.

The archer's name is Du Yu, and he is a family member of Du Cang. However, Du Cang is the true legitimate son of the Du family, and his identity is the son of the family. Although his surname is Du, he, Du, was given a surname. Before the naive family was abolished, his identity was just the son of the Du family servant.

Because his figure has been different from ordinary people since childhood, Ducang felt that he might be gifted, so he used his own resources to let him practice martial arts. Later, he used his connections to send him directly to the army, so that he could become a magic archer.

So now, although there is no system of low-class citizenship and Du Yu has also established himself from the Du family with his military merits, he has always felt that he owes Du Cang. Therefore, when he received the news from Du Cang a few days ago, he rushed over without any hesitation.

Du Yu looked at Du Cang's leaving figure and sighed slightly. The young master was still as stubborn as he was at that time, only thinking about loyalty to serve the country. He didn't know that the Great Zhou today is no longer the Great Zhou of the past.

In his opinion, the Great Zhou Dynasty is already shaking, and now that King Yu is rebelling, it directly sounds the death knell for this ancient empire.

However, as a smart person as a young master, he can understand what he can understand. He just doesn’t know why the young master still insists so much. Do you really think that he can support the building as a county magistrate?

"Forget it, it's just a death."

Du Yu no longer thought about it. Since the young master decided to defend himself, he would fight with him until the last moment. After making up his mind, he no longer hesitated and walked down the city tower. There must be a fierce battle tomorrow. He must now be able to recover his energy.

...

The next day, almost as soon as the sky was dawn, Mo Chao's army appeared outside the city of Cangyi City.

Mo Chao, who suffered a loss once, became very cautious this time. He adopted the tactic of three and one, surrounded three sides of Cangyi City, and let go of one wall and ignored it.

Then he was not in a hurry to attack. He first asked the army to start camping on the spot and make some simple siege equipment. Then he selected some soldiers, held a huge shield and approached the city. He began to shout and persuade the soldiers on the city wall to surrender.

"Hmph, I don't know what's wrong."

Listening to the city's shouting that as long as his head was enough, the rest of the people did not pursue it. Du Cang snorted coldly, not caring.

He had been a county magistrate in Cangyi City for so many years, and had long operated it like an iron bucket. With a few simple shouts, he wanted to recruit soldiers in the city. It was simply a dream.

The soldiers on the city wall were indeed as he imagined. Although they were a little scared when they looked at the dark army under the city, there was no one who really wanted to surrender.

Du Cang listened and saw that there was nothing new below, so he was too lazy to pay attention to them, so he went down to stare at the people in the city to make the city guarding equipment.

For defending the city, in addition to tincture oil and bows and arrows, gold juice and stones are also excellent weapons to defend the city. Moreover, these two things are low in cost and powerful. If you can get more of these things, defending the city will definitely be much easier.

And last night, after friendly and friendly negotiations with the big households in the city, the two sides reached an agreement that they were responsible for defending the city and the people were responsible for their efforts. And these big households were responsible for paying the money. Except for the things that the county government had, no matter what the rest was used to defend the city, they were reimbursed by them.

Ducang, which is backed by the large households in Cangyi City, works very generously. Whether the people in the city make gold juice or cut stones, they can get all the money, and the price is not low. If they can be harder, they will earn more money a day than planting a season of land.

In this way, the entire Cangyi City suddenly became very lively. The entire Cangyi City, the ones who boiled gold juice were cut stones. Almost every family had all the boiled gold juice and cut stones, and they were sent to the city walls, and the accountant of the county government made a unified count and then paid the money on the spot.

"There are enough equipment to defend the city."

Ducang covered his nose and looked at the golden juice and stones below and nodded slightly. With these things, Cangyi City could hold on for at least a while, but this man was a little short of hands and was a little troublesome.

No matter what he said yesterday, the knife hit the necks of those big families. They still refused to pay for it, and at most they could only pay some money. Ducang thought that things were not at the most critical moment, so he did not force them too much. But today he saw the 30,000 troops outside the city, and he couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Without enough manpower, even if there are enough gold juice and stones, they will not sprinkle on the enemy's heads.

Du Cang looked at the man carrying a big bucket of gold juice below with a little depressed heart, and finally made a decision.

"Go to the city and recruit a lot of money to defend the city."

Ducang called his master and said, "For them, they don't need to fight against the enemy. They just need to throw gold juice and stones on the top of the city. If they are willing, each person will cost 100 taels of silver every day."

"If you are accidentally killed, the pension will start at least 1,000 taels!"

"this……"

The master felt that the price was a bit high, so he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but looking at Ducang's unquestionable look, he had to nod and go to the city to recruit people.

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under heavy rewards. The temptation of 100 taels of silver per day is still very great. In addition, Ducang has great prestige in Cangyi City, and few promises are not fulfilled. Therefore, nearly a thousand guardians came to the city at once.

After the people here were ready to register one by one and divided the locations where each person was responsible for on the city wall, Mo Chao's army outside the city was almost ready.

Under Mo Chao's order, the ordinary soldiers who acted as cannon fodder braved the rain of arrows and used the newly formed siege ladders and other equipment to crush the city wall. Then more than a dozen people instantly pressed the ladder and immediately climbed up.

“Ah~”

The soldiers who were sieging the city almost had just climbed along the ladder for less than two steps. The hot golden juice was immediately poured down the ladder. The soldier who was climbing on the ladder was just poured. The golden juice sprinkled on him, which made him scream inhumanely. The whole person was immediately scalded and his flesh was blooming. After rolling on the ground for a few rounds, he completely lost his life.

The terrifying experience of this soldier did not scare the rest of the soldiers at all. After the soldiers fell down, they lay on the ladder with almost red eyes and continued to climb upwards.

"Are you pigs? Is this how gold juice is sprinkled?"

Above the city wall, the gentle Ducang, who was usually gentle, changed his appearance. He roared loudly at the people who splashed gold juice and said, "Have you never planted the land? How do you usually feed fat? Now, spill the gold juice."

"Close your eyes and don't care about it. Sprinkle the golden juice evenly, just treat yourself as farming, treat them as cabbage, aim at them, sprinkle them hard, don't stop!"

"There are those stones thrown. Don't you have any brains? Are you not tired of lifting them so high? Wouldn't you put the stone on their ladder and let the stone roll down the ladder?"

"Remember, stones are not used to smash, so you don't need to use your strength. If you have that strength, wouldn't it be better to save me a few more pieces?"
