After being stunned for a while, I realized that the rebels were attacking the city again.

Zhang Bao had already arranged for government officials and soldiers to appease the people in the county government and told them to stay at home and not to come out at will to avoid riots.

Everyone was holding the things they had prepared with trepidation, anxiously waiting for news from the outside.

"Why are the rebels attacking again?"

"General Chen is not here this time, can you hold on?"

"It's hard to say!"

"I heard that the rebel army has thousands of people, and we only have a few hundred people guarding the city. Last time, it would have been impossible if General Chen had not personally brought his troops to rescue them."

"Maybe the city has been destroyed long ago."

"Yeah, it's a big deal this time. I think it's better for us to prepare early."

"Oh, but where can we escape to?"

"Everywhere is in chaos now, but our Sanhe County is doing relatively well!"

"Who says it isn't?"

"..."

Many people gathered together and whispered.

After a while.

I heard news from the city gate that after a heroic battle last night, the rebel army was temporarily repulsed.

There were basically no casualties on their side.

But I don’t know if it will happen again in the future.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At dawn the next day.

Zhang Bao arranged for people to shout at the county government.

heard the news.

Almost most of the young and middle-aged people in the county government flocked to the recruitment office.

If it were placed before, someone would probably run away.

But now this county has improved very much. If they are asked to abandon this place, other places may not be as good.

Who would be willing to leave their hometown if they were not forced to do so?

Under this pressure, all young adults came to the recruitment office either actively or passively.

originally.

According to Zhang Bao's plan, it would be enough to increase the number of people in the military camp to a thousand.

But just over 3,000 people came to sign up.

Zhang Bao and the others wanted to recruit all these people, but there was insufficient food and grass, and they could not accommodate them.

The screening criteria had to be raised.

In the end, more than 800 people were recruited, increasing the number of people in the entire military camp to 1,500.
