It is said that this city may fall in the next two days, so if you have carriages, escape quickly.
So Yun Nian'an didn't bother to talk nonsense with the guards guarding the city gate, so he just sneaked in.
We were chatting here when we heard some noise outside.
On the street, some soldiers in armor shouted loudly, "People of the Great Dynasty, now is the time for us to share hardships! Everyone, help move all the stones onto the city wall.
Tear down all the stone houses at home and move the stones to the city walls."
When the common people heard the military leader say such words, they all sighed. They already had no food to eat, and now their only remaining houses were going to be demolished?
One of the women covered her chest and looked at the soldiers and shouted, "We have been out of food for a long time. We only have this small broken house, and now we have to tear it down and move the stones across."
The officers and soldiers shouted to the people: "The old general has said that if we can defend this city and win the battle next spring, he will personally lead the soldiers to build houses for the people.
If this city cannot be saved, everyone, young or old, will be killed. For the great dynasty behind us and for our small family, let’s fight together with the old general who guards the country!”
After these words were spoken, the old men and women who were originally reluctant to obey clenched their fists.
Shouting "Yes!"
Most of the people on the street were old men, and they were all trying to demolish the stone houses.
This city is on the border. Since the mountains are all made of stone, there are few wooden houses and most of them are stone houses.
Yun Nian'an frowned, and the shopkeeper came over and brought some pastries to Yun Nian'an and placed them on the table.
Looking at the little girl's expression, he sat opposite Yun Nian'an and said, "Miss, you don't know that the old general who guards the country has completely run out of food and grass.
There were not many soldiers and horses, but there were more than 300,000 enemy troops outside the city wall, all stationed not far away.
There are only 100,000 soldiers in the city. The old general is trying every possible way to protect the dynasty, but I think it will be difficult. "
Yun Nian'an frowned when he heard this and asked, "Is the disparity between the two armies so great?"
The shopkeeper couldn't help but nod, "Yes, and haven't you noticed since you entered the city? There are no men in our city, not even teenage boys. All of them have gone to the old general who guards the country."
When he said this, the shopkeeper suddenly choked up.
His two sons also followed the old general to follow the country. If he had not been lame, he would definitely have followed the same path.
Yun Nian'an nodded when he heard the shopkeeper's reminder, "Yes, the people in the city are basically the elderly, the weak, women and children, or those who really can't walk. It seems that there are not many pedestrians.
There isn't even a single young man like him."
After Yun Nian'an paid the shopkeeper, he picked up the cakes on the plate and walked outside, placing the cakes on the ground. Several children immediately started scrambling for them.
Yun Nian'an walked to the first bun shop. The owner of the bun shop was a fat boss. When he saw Yun Nian'an wearing dusty clothes, he waved his hand.
"Tsk, I don't have any more buns for you to eat."
The fat boss' eyes were red as he spoke. In the beginning, he tried to help the people who had fled from the two cities in some way, but they also needed to eat.
My wife even quarreled with me and said that she would divorce me if I continued to do this!
Not only did he not make any money, but he also spent a lot of money on his family. If he lost money again, how would he make ends meet?
In order to keep his wife, the fat boss had no choice but to speak harsh words to the children who came to beg at his door.
Yun Nian'an handed the silver to the fat boss and said, "Boss, I'm not here to beg. I want all the steamed buns you have left."
