After Yunyang's series of actions, Yuxi City became completely quiet.
In fact, the various recruiting, explosion experiments, military exercises, and various luxury carriages entering and exiting the city gates over and over again made many people with keen senses realize that something big might happen. But at that time, it was just some folk rumors. Everyone chatted after tea and dinner, talking about who the opponent this time would be.
The last time Yunyang Prince Liyi was captured, several cities and a lot of wealth were extorted, and the living standards of the people have been further improved, which is equivalent to everyone enjoying the bonus brought by winning a battle. Many people discussed in private, thinking that if they were fighting Prince Yunyang again this time, it would be great if they could capture him alive again.
Now the result came out, the son was beaten away, and this time the father went into battle himself.
Fighting Yunyang, to be honest, many people in Yuxi City don't have much confidence. But when the results came out, most of the people had no complaints. Many people began to analyze what is needed to fight Yunyang, and what are the odds of winning; those members of the Brave Guild and the Valley of the Wicked who live in the city have some feuds with the Yunyang territory, and at this moment they also took the initiative to contact some high-level military officials in Yuxi City. I plan to join the army as a striker.
No matter what, now in Yuxi City, even the children running on the street know that there is going to be a war.
The City Lord's Mansion is still very quiet, with normal personnel coming in and out, normal work and rest time, and no sense of panic. Slowly, the tension of the people in Yuxi City is also slowly dissipating. After all, in the past two years, they have seen Zhaochen going south, Yunyang coming east, demons invading, and too many strong winds and waves, but Yuxi City not only did not fall, but survived. It's getting better and better. Even if some people start to spread panic rumors, the people will not be easily incited.
In the past two years, at first, many people privately hated the new city lord. He thinks that he is a child who is not liked by the lord of Yunyang. Without a strong background support, there is no way to bring about any change in this poor world.
But slowly, Lid did a lot of things quietly. Under Heyue's propaganda, the people also thought of Lide's various benefits in their hearts. Although it was rumored that the changes in Yuxi City were realized by Heyue Fang Shisan and the others, didn't He Yue and Fang Shisan also take over with Li De's all-out efforts
During this period, Yunyang did not give Yuxi City any help.
Instead, when Yuxi City and Zhaochen were facing each other, Lord Yunyang severed his father-son relationship with Li De and stabbed him severely in the back. When the demons invaded, Prince Yunyang even disregarded the righteousness of the nation and led an army to attack the rear battlefield of Yuxi City, which forced Yuxi City into a dangerous situation of two-front combat.
The common people remember that the city lord personally took risks to participate in the war against the demons, that the head of the internal affairs in white clothes lived and died with the people independently, and that the girl in a wheelchair commanded the army with a hoarse voice and sleepless nights. Remember the monument engraved with countless names after the defeat, remember the blood splattered on it, remember Lid once said that all enemies should pay the price—
Yunyang is very difficult to fight, and everyone knows it.
But on the day the war was declared, the recruitment office was suddenly full, and countless people lined up in a long line in an orderly manner outside.
There are many women, old people and children in it.
They were not noisy, they just stood there standing upright, waiting to sign up. Everyone says they can be useful, the women say they can cook, the old people think they are still old and strong, and the children say that they are not much younger than those young men in Shaoyu Camp, and they can always do something when they go in. of.
"Son, look, I don't think I can live long with my old bones. Everyone takes care of me in the orphanage. The food is delicious, the songs are good, and I bask in the sun every day. One day passes. But I I feel very guilty... My wife died early, and the children didn't know where to go. I am the only one left. I can't speak well, but I still make you worry about me. Hearing that they are going to war, I was thinking, I went to the front to block, if they want to kill our doll, they have to kill me first. I help them block, block, they can survive one more. They are different from me, there are many Years can live…”
"I see that many of your cooking soldiers are also men. They don't cook at home every day, but go outside to cook? It's really promising. From now on, we will take care of the cooking in your place, and transfer those rough men out of the kitchen. ! Let them go to the front to fight!"
"Big brother, you judge me, those people in the military academy can go, but I can't go? Adults just like partiality! Let me tell you, I am already twelve years old this year. Don't look at me young, I was able to go to the field last year I have worked in the house, and I have countless strengths all over my body. Really! Many adults can't break my wrist!"
…
…
…
The person in charge of the recruitment office talked earnestly for a whole afternoon before he persuaded most of the people who wanted to join the army to go back.
There is actually a big difference between war and ordinary people's imagination. For example, if the number of human sandbags cannot exceed a certain value, it will be useless except to destroy one's own formation, and Yuxi City will not do such inhuman things. Another example is that many people think that women should be responsible for cooking soldiers, but cooking is done in a big pot, which is completely physical work. If you don't have enough strength, you can't hold on, and you will get tired after a few stir-fries.
As for those children... Even the Shaoyu Camp, which is mainly composed of teenagers, must have undergone professional training, strict selection, and can only enter if they are older than sixteen years old. Ordinary children who want to enter the Shaoyu camp, at least they have to go to the military academy to stay for a year or two, and they have to have excellent grades before they can hope to be promoted in an exceptional way.
Li De once told He Yue that popular support is the most precious thing in the world.
The people need to wake up, do things, give full play to their wisdom, and make their own contributions to this country and this race. But if a certain group needs unarmed people to go to the front line to fight in an emergency, it will be the failure of the entire management.
The people in the recruiting station couldn't bear to refuse the kindness of the people, so they couldn't bear to tell those who came to join the army that they couldn't help them now. These staff members could only tell them exhaustedly that Fang Shisan was already on the front line in person, and the city lord would come to express condolences soon, and everything was going in a good direction.
At the same time, some truly qualified people will be absorbed into the army. But it will not be directly put into the battlefield, but will become a reserve army, training in a relatively stable rear.
The calm and unhurried attitude of the military gave the people of Yuxi City great confidence.
Not needing them to go to the battlefield means that the military believes that the current situation is not that bad at all. This also meant that in the eyes of the upper echelons of Yuxi City, although Yunyang's offensive was critical, it was far from a last stand.
But these fourteen small cities... can they really come into contact with the huge Yunyang
