Chapter 1053: Snowballing Growth (8)

50,000 cavalry roared over, and the shock was huge, so the people of Boyang Town had long seen the warning of the appearance of a large number of cavalry.

But is this useful? Even if the people of Boyang Town saw the cavalry appear in advance, it was useless, and the leading figures in the town, one of them counted one, all stood on the city tower with pale faces, looking at the figure of the cavalry getting closer and closer.

How long can you defend, this is just a town, and there is not much grain in stock, especially when the grain is harvested this time, half of it is eaten by the flea demon, and the villages below are all in a food crisis, and there is not much food sent to the town at all, so to speak, the grain stored in the town is all the old grain from the past.

The new grain is still all in the village below, and it is not that there is no grain collection team to go down to the village below to collect grain, but when I see the men, women, and children in the village looking at it with the red eyes of hungry wolves, and seeing the strong and fully armed people in the village guarding the granary, I know that if there is no fight, it will be impossible to collect the grain at all.

And to fight a battle, not to mention whether you can fight this battle with the whole village as one, that is, to win, this kind of village that originally belonged to the family, will definitely immediately become the enemy village of the family, belongs to the enemy village that must be completely exterminated, this in and out, the loss is super huge for his meow, and the slightest brain will not forcibly collect food.

And this is still a village that belongs to the family, and those variegated villages that also belong to the family do not need to consider the issue of grain requisition. Those variegated villages have long been beaten into a pot of porridge, and after you try your best to suppress it, I'm afraid that there won't be much food in the whole village, and you will offend the whole village, so let's ignore it and let them fight by themselves.

Because of this, both villages could not collect grain, so not only the towns could only eat their own old grain, but even some county towns could only eat their old capital.

Because many county seats, county towns, and leading cities have farmland in their own cities, and this kind of farmland is not only large, but also extremely safe, and this flea demon did not endanger the farmland in these cities, so they can still eat new food even if they do not have the supply of the villages below.

And this is also because the city of Mao's world is so difficult to attack, and the city that has been besieged for decades is still alive, and there are a lot of cities in the history of this world.

Originally, this kind of thing of eating grain in the treasury happened every once in a while, but everyone was able to get through it, and even stood up unconsciously, and sometimes except for the people who managed the warehouse, they didn't know that there was a shortage of food.

But now, look at the number, at least more than 30,000 cavalry rushed over, their own Boyang Town, the periphery does not need to think about defending, it is definitely to the point where the cavalry can break through as soon as they rush, and only the city in the center of the town can be defended.

For defending the city, the people of this world are particularly confident, not to mention that it is the cavalry who come to attack the city, the people of Boyang Town dare to pat their chests and shout, Lao Tzu can defend the city for a year with his eyes closed!

It's just that if so many cavalry besiege the city, then you won't be able to wait for reinforcements at all, and you won't be able to get out, so you can only hide in the city and gnaw on the old book, and no matter how much the old book will be gnawed away.

Just like the cities in history that have been built for decades, what happened to them? In the end, they collapsed, and the whole city was slaughtered by the besieging soldiers. After all, no matter how magnificent and strong your city is, people will gnaw a hole after decades of gnawing on the stones.

And there is a greater danger in the town on his side, that is, there is not enough food, and once the city is besieged, the food will definitely rise sharply, let alone hold it for a year, and it will not be able to do it for three months!

As for escaping? Now that the cavalry has not sealed the city, of course you can escape, use the spell token, and quickly flee to the county seat.

But as long as you escape, you don't have to think about defending this town, your boss has run away, and the people below will still defend it? What are you kidding? This is your inheritance, you don't keep it, and others have the obligation to help you defend it.

In fact, this situation is the most testing of people, guarding the foundation, but because of the lack of food, it will be solved after three months. But if you want to escape, you will be done in an instant, and your inheritance will disappear.

It stands to reason that a rational person will definitely think that if the foundation can't be held anyway, then why don't you run away quickly, leaving the life of the family is better than nothing.

But for Mao said that people's hearts will have a kind of what if? Will they think about what if Lao Tzu defends the city? This will not only greatly increase their own fame, but also keep the foundation, there is such a battle to defend the city, this foundation can at least be passed down for hundreds of years!

Of course, there is an important factor in this, that is, the people of this world are less concerned about their lives, and they are more concerned about the reputation of their own family.

Because when the time comes, the descendants who have nothing will only be able to rely on their own reputation. If you lose your reputation, then you will really become a common person!

As for the descendants of the family, come on, who is not a cunning rabbit in the three caves these days, who is a meow who will stuff all the old and young in the same city, isn't this a pot for people? So now these characters in Boyang Town, although their wives and concubines, concubines, concubines and concubines are all in the city, but they are just children who pay more attention, not all the bloodlines are in the city, and there are still a lot of bloodlines hidden outside.

If all these people are really finished, the bloodline that is arranged outside the family will naturally decide where to go depending on the situation. If the enemy is strong, then shrink your head and wait for the opportunity, if the enemy is beaten, then needless to say, it is natural to raise a flag and shout for revenge. Anyway, in these thousands of years of fighting, there have already been similar rules, just follow the rules.

Therefore, after the leaders of Boyang Town understood this, they all calmed down and beckoned people to go back to the inner city to guard, as for the chaos in the town under the city, it was not in their eyes at all, it was about to be the enemy's thing, and they didn't order the looting because everyone had been together for so long. Well, as for the fear that after the order to sack, the army will be directly chaotic and unable to concentrate its forces on defending the city, there is no need to talk about this problem.
