With one person per household and an army of 300,000 people, there are simply no resources to support such a large army.
The temporarily formed militiamen were waiting in long lines along the streets, and teams of soldiers took the recruited militiamen to various camps in the city.
The army in Tunga City was still knocking on doors one by one to seize militiamen. The residents' complaints and cries became louder and louder, and the city began to become turbulent.
In the city lord's palace, Ruan Yuting knew that the residents in the city were crying and worried about riots, so he came to Lin Shuang overnight.
"The recruitment rate of one person per household is too high. Are the residents very dissatisfied?"
Lin Shuanggang patrolled the streets and saw the increasing conflict between residents and the army.
"City Lord, your violent strategy is the only way to save the city. Regardless of the opinions of the residents, the city will still be destroyed at the worst."
If there are 300,000 troops, even though they are all militiamen, they are not strong enough to fight, and they cannot raise that many soldiers, but they should be fine if they persist for a few days, and then they can be disbanded after Murong Yi is defeated.
However, the recruitment rate is too high. If the residents riot, their demise will be accelerated.
"No, you immediately change the one-person-per-household ratio to the one-person-per-ten-family ratio. If someone from the original household joins the army, they will be exempted."
Lin Shuang heard this and said anxiously: "That's only 30,000 people, and they are still militiamen. Together with our original army, they cannot resist Murong Yi's army."
"Can the residents resist the rebellion?" Ruan Yuting asked rhetorically.
Lin Shuang was speechless, and Ruan Yuting added: "With those 30,000 militiamen, we can hold on for a while."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Lin Shuang turned back and went out.
Outside the city, Murong Yi has sent troops to surround Tongjia City.
Standing on the tower and looking down, it was crowded with people, and all the passages had been blocked.
Murong Yi stood at the foot of the city and shouted to the top of the city: "I have surrounded the city. Surrender quickly and let you live."
The newly recruited militiamen in the city have been sent to various city gates to guard the city together with the soldiers.
On the city tower, Lin Shuang saw Murong Yi's army and did not dare to go out to fight. He shouted: "I still advise you to retreat quickly. Don't waste troops and resources, otherwise you won't know how you will die in the end."
The corner of Murong Yi's mouth moved slightly, showing a contemptuous smile, and he slowly walked forward.
Lin Shuang watched in surprise as Murong Yi walked forward alone. When they reached a distance of about 150 meters, Lin Shuang couldn't help shouting: "Stop, if you go further, you will release the arrow."
At this distance, it is difficult for advanced archers to attack. Even if they can shoot, their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened, and they will have almost no lethality.
Murong Yi's combat power was so high that Lin Shuang was a little worried, but at such a long distance, he should be fine. Lin Shuang thought to himself and immediately asked all the archers to draw their bowstrings and prepare to attack.
Murong Yi, who was at the bottom of the city tower, raised his head and glanced at the archers who were drawing their bows to him. His eyes stopped on Lin Shuang. He stepped hard on the ground with his soles and flew into the air.
Lin Shuang was shocked, knowing something was wrong, and immediately shouted: "Attack, release arrows, shoot him down."
Before Lin Shuang's voice could finish, Murong Yi's arrow had already been placed on the Po Ming Bow. Before he could see his fingers loosen, he saw an arrow flying out from the string, streaking through the air, carrying a strong air current, and shooting Xiang Lin Shuang.
Under Lin Shuang's order, the arrows on the tower were shot "swish" at Murong Yi.
Murong Yi didn't pay attention to the flying arrows. After shooting one arrow, he quickly drew out the arrow and shot another arrow.
The arrow followed the trajectory of the arrow in front, passed through the flying arrows, and shot towards Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang was shocked when he saw Murong Yi's arrow flying from above the parapet. He didn't expect it to be so powerful from such a long distance, so he hurriedly waved his silver knife to block it.
The powerful arrow hit Lin Shuang's silver knife. Lin Shuang couldn't resist and was knocked back a few steps by Murong Yi's arrows.
Before Lin Shuang could stand still, he only saw a flash in front of his eyes and knew that another arrow was flying towards him, so he hurriedly blocked it with his knife. An arrow was seen passing through the side of the silver knife and hitting Lin Shuang's chest.
Seeing Lin Shuang hit by an arrow, the nearby soldiers hurriedly stepped forward and supported Lin Shuang's body.
Qi and blood surged in Lin Shuang's body, and kept coming out of his mouth. He opened his mouth and moved vigorously, but before he could catch a breath, his whole body went limp and he fell down.
"Flag chief, flag chief..." the surrounding soldiers shouted.
Some newly joined militiamen were frightened and panicked when they saw Lin Shuang dead.
Murong Yi saw the commotion on the city tower and said, "Who is going to attack the city gate?"
"I'll go." Sima Hongyi shouted.
Feng Ziying next to him said: "Flag Commander, since Sima Battalion Commander is attacking the city, I will lead the army to suppress the formation."
"Okay." Murong Yi agreed and shouted loudly: "Attack the city."
After giving the order, Sima Hong raised his silver sword and shouted: "Come with me." The first one ran out, leading two battalions of troops behind him to kill towards the city gate.
Watching Sima Hong fight his way out, Murong Yi shouted: "All archers, follow me to attack the tower."
Thousands of archers followed Murong Yi and rushed forward. Wave after wave of arrows flew over Sima Hongyi's army and shot into the tower.
The archers on the city tower wanted to attack Sima Hong's army below the city. Seeing the arrows flying continuously, they all attacked Murong Yi's archers, unable to take care of Sima Hong's army below the city.
Sima Hongyi led his army and easily rushed to the city gate. After hitting the city gate several times in succession, the city gate was breached.
"Kill." Sima Hongyi was the first to rush into the city gate. He swung his silver sword and chopped down a soldier guarding the city gate entrance. The Yuting Army fought.
Ma Qiu was mobilizing troops in the city. When he heard that Lin Shuang had died in the battle and that the city gate had been breached, he was shocked: "We can't defend it so soon."
"It's not good, battalion commander." A soldier ran over in a panic and shouted: "The newly recruited militiamen in front were trying to escape, but were stopped by our soldiers. The two sides had a dispute and started fighting."
When Ma Qiu heard this, he knew he couldn't beat him and hurriedly ran back to the city lord's mansion.
"City Lord, the city can't be defended, what should we do?" Ma Qiu said in a panic.
Unexpectedly, Ruan Yuting was defeated so quickly. Ruan Yuting sat in silence in the office for a long time before saying: "The general trend is the general trend. There is no way to save it. Ma Qiu, give up your resistance."
Ma Qiu asked unwillingly: "Then our city is just gone?"
"What else can we do? Fortunately, Luo Feng is not someone easy to kill. If we surrender, we can at least save our lives."
Ma Qiu was speechless and stood beside him. Ruan Yuting immediately drafted a letter of surrender and ordered it to be sent out.
Outside the city, Feng Ziying saw Sima Hongyi breaching the city and leading his army into the city.
There was a panic in the city, and Ruan Yuting's army fled in all directions. Feng Ziying led the army to pursue them for a while, and met an army coming out from the direction of the city lord's palace.
The leading battalion commander shouted: "Stop fighting, we surrender. This is a letter of surrender."
Feng Ziying ordered someone to come forward and take the letter of surrender. After reading it, he said to the soldiers beside him: "Give this to Captain Murong."
"Yes." The soldier took the letter of surrender and ran back.
