Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

At 9:00 p.m. the next day, Yu Shida led an army of 5,000 troops.

Yunye ordered the two thousand new soldiers recruited last year to line up, and another two hundred secret guards hid in the dark to provide support.

"All archers, prepare for battle!"

Seeing this, Yu Shida on the opposite side immediately ordered his thousand archers to form a camp and prepare for the attack.

"Defend with shields!" Yun Yi ordered the soldiers holding shields to defend at the front.

Seeing this, Yu Shida hurriedly waved his hand and asked the soldiers to shoot arrows.

As a rain of arrows came, the soldiers on Longtan's side were protected tightly by shields.

After shooting a round of arrows, Yu Shida and the soldiers were still curious why no sound was heard.

They heard cursing from the other side.

"Fuck! Big Dog, there's an arrow stuck in your hair!"

"Fuck, you nailed a hole in my new shoe. Luckily I was born with one toe missing."

"Hey, the quality of this arrow is not very good!"

"..."

As the soldiers holding shields withdrew, the Longtan soldiers were shot in various ways, the most serious of which were just shots in the shoulder or buttocks.

At this moment, Yun Yi waved the flag in his hand, and it was the turn of the 500 archers in Longtan holding bows and crossbows to take action.

Yu Shida also ordered his soldiers to hold shields for defense.

Just when he thought that their soldiers would be as unharmed as the Longtan soldiers, shrill screams rang out one after another.

He was inexplicably frightened and looked carefully, and saw that the arrows shot from Longtan could actually penetrate the shields held by the soldiers.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

In order to reduce casualties, Yu Shida hurriedly ordered a retreat in order to get out of the enemy's shooting range as soon as possible.

But it was too late. He had greatly underestimated the power of the opponent's bow and arrow.

Many soldiers had already fallen to the ground before they were out of the range of the rain of arrows.

It was an overwhelming blow.

As soon as they were out of the shooting range, the Longtan soldiers stopped consciously and stared vigilantly at Yu Shida and others opposite them.

Looking at the soldiers around him who were suddenly filled with fear, Yu Shida knew that he could not retreat at this moment.

He suddenly drew the sword from his waist and said, "For the injured brothers, charge!"

Listening to the howling of the wounded, Yu Shida's shout indeed ignited the fighting spirit of many soldiers.

"Go, kill these bastards and avenge our brothers!"

The two sides immediately engaged in a battle.

After fighting for one round, the two sides reached a consensus and temporarily ceased fighting.

After the truce, each side sent out a small team of soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Yu Shida's team suffered heavy casualties. The team first carried the wounded soldiers back to the camp, and then buried the bodies of the dead soldiers. After they finished dealing with all these, they discovered that all their wounded horses had been dragged away by Longtan's soldiers.

The casualties on the Longtan side were still severe, with many people injured and dozens of dead soldiers almost all hacked to death by enemy soldiers.

There will always be casualties in war. Casualties on the battlefield are inevitable, let alone in this age of cold weapons, where blood is unavoidable.

These were all soldiers newly recruited last year. Yun Ye instructed the chief secretary, "Record the names of the deceased and submit them to the city lord."

Then he went to the wounded camp to check on the wounded, where Yun Wu, Doctor Lu and four or five military doctors were bandaging and treating the wounded.

When new recruits fight for the first time, they will inevitably feel a little scared when they see blood. This is a problem that needs to be overcome.

After a night's rest, early the next morning.

Yunye summoned all the soldiers to gather in the square, where the bodies of several fallen soldiers were covered with white cloth.

Looking at the comrade-in-arms who used to eat, sleep and train together, he turned into a cold corpse in the blink of an eye, separated from the world of the living.

Soon, low sobbing sounds were heard in the square.

Yunye held the sword at his waist and scanned everyone one by one with a cold gaze.

"If you want to quit, stand up now!" he said in a sharp voice.

The square suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked up at Yunye.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Yun Ye, who had walked around the team several times, spoke up, "Half of the people lying here died at their own hands. Who doesn't fear death in a war? Facing the enemy, if you shrink back and die, you will be the one. The enemy will not be merciful to you..."

His words made everyone bow their heads.

"Since no one has chosen to leave, you will have to fight to stay alive. The brave will win when two meet on a narrow road!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers shouted in unison, and their voices echoed in the air for a long time.

After burying their companions, the soldiers began to train more arduously, and the secret guards shared their years of practical experience with them.

Yu Shida was not reconciled to his first defeat. After resting for five days, he boosted morale and attacked Xihe Iron Mine again.

This time, the Longtan soldiers applied what they had learned to actual combat, changing their formations from time to time, coordinating with multiple people, fighting in groups, and taking into account the enemies attacking from the front, back, left and right. Yu Shida's troops soon showed signs of defeat.

Yu Shida hurriedly ordered a retreat to avoid greater casualties.

The Longtan soldiers have made rapid progress this time, and they are worthy of being the elite soldiers carefully selected by Yun Mo.

Except for a few who were unable to recover due to excessive bleeding, the number of wounded soldiers was much less than that of the first battle, and most of them were superficial injuries.

Yu Shida, who vowed to take back the iron mine in Xihe, finally ordered a withdrawal after being seriously injured by Yunye during the eighth attack.

At that time, because Yunye was determined to wipe out the enemy completely, Yu Shida had no choice but to flee in a hurry with less than two thousand men, and he didn't even care about the wounded soldiers in the camp.

According to statistics from Yun's group, there were more than a thousand wounded soldiers left behind.

Manager Ma rubbed his hands and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

"That's good. It took a lot of manpower to cure him, but it cost a lot of food. Second Master Yun, how about we just give him one meal a day like the Japanese pirates?"

It has to be said that Manager Ma is conscientious and responsible in his work, and always considers his master's concerns. He is a rare talent.

Yunye glanced at him and asked, "Can they be compared with the Japanese pirates?"

"Aren't they all enemies?" Manager Ma said weakly.

"Two meals a day, one less for those who disobey or cause trouble."

Yunye had other plans for these people. If they could be recruited, that would be the best. If not, they would be used as strong laborers. Anyway, they were in great need of manpower.

Longtan, the county government office.

Lin Yinan was extremely busy during this period as he had to recruit displaced people and refugees as well as organize spring ploughing work.

If we want to grow and develop, we must follow people's living needs, continue to carry out agricultural planting according to the seasons, and strive to develop handicraft production.

Lin Yinan understood that everything they were doing now was just like what was called the large-scale field economy in ancient times.

At this time, she was organizing and recording the planting methods of terrace farming that she had found in space.

Chi'an County has such a large amount of land resources that it would be wasted if they are not utilized properly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the secret guard pushed the door open and came in to report.

"Lord City Lord, there are refugees making trouble outside the city gate. Dong Ge recognized someone you know inside, and he wants you to go over and see how to deal with it."

Lin Yinan put down his pen, rubbed his sore eyes, stood up and walked out.

"I gonna go see."

As I approached the city gate, I heard a hysterical female voice.

"Go away! Don't grab me! You've got the wrong person. I don't know you, and I'm definitely not your daughter-in-law."
