On the fourth day, there were several small-scale riots in Bafang City. The yards of several gentry and wealthy people were attacked by some refugees. Their huge family properties were looted by the refugees and then burned to the ground.

Things are getting worse and spreading, and people in Bafang City are panicking...

…

That night, at the strong request of a group of gentry and wealthy people, a meeting was held.

In the meeting hall, people were busy discussing, but Zhou Sen did not show up for a long time. Gradually, the mood in the meeting hall became high.

"I said, what does General Zhou want to do? Why don't you think of a way? If this continues, everyone will be finished together!"

"That is, Wang Mazi of Siyanjing Street was robbed by the victims yesterday. Not only was the little food he had saved with great difficulty taken away, but his parents, who were in their seventies, were also scared to death..."

"Wang Mazi himself is still alive, but it was Sun Dahu's family that was unlucky. They were set on fire by refugees. Dozens of members of the whole family were burned alive... ugh..."

"..."

Everyone was quarreling with each other, but Zhang Laosan remained silent from beginning to end.

"Zhang Laosan, when General Zhou comes, you have to speak. You are a prominent figure in Bafang City, and we all need to honor you."

"Everyone, I said a few days ago that Bafang City is not suitable for defense. At that time, everyone was against it and could not bear to part with these acres of fertile land. But now it is so good that it is out of control, out of control..." Mr. Zhang

San kept sighing and shaking his head.

"What got out of hand?" someone asked.

"The current chaos of war is just the beginning. The granaries of the Han Empire in Bafang City have long been looted by the Crusaders. Only some of us gentry and rich people still have food left in their homes. Many refugees carry enough dry food to last them a day or two. After that,

In one week, I won’t be able to save my flag-planting villa..."

"..."

Everyone suddenly looked at each other with shock on their faces.

Everyone in Bafang City knows the power of the Zhang family here. Not to mention the prosperous Zhang family, even the strong men in the manor are counted in hundreds. If the Zhang family cannot keep their property, then the rest of the family will be even more important.

Needless to say.

Suddenly, people discovered that the matter was far more serious than they imagined.

In the early years, the Han Empire was in turmoil due to famine. The victims were like locusts crossing the border, covering thousands of miles of red land. Many people had seen this tragic scene.

"Zhang Laosan, we are so humble. What can you do? You must stand up for the folks in Bafang City later."

"Yeah yeah."

"I don't have any good ideas. This Bafang City is undefendable. In addition, the Crusaders deliberately let the surrounding refugees gather here. Food will soon be exhausted. By then, even if the Crusaders don't attack, Bafang City will be unable to defend itself.

It will destroy itself without attacking..."

"I have an idea." Suddenly, a squire said.

"Tell me, is there any good way?"

"This Bafang City is actually not important to the Crusaders. What is important is General Zhou. If General Zhou is allowed to leave, the danger of Bafang City will be solved immediately."

"Yes, this is a way. As long as General Zhou is gone, even if Bafang City falls into the hands of the Crusaders, it doesn't matter to us. Instead, we don't have to worry."

"It's a joke, it's easy for you to say it. General Zhou was going to leave in the first place, but you were the ones who tried to persuade him to stay. How unbecoming it is to let General Zhou go now!" Zhang Laosan sneered.

"Zhang Laosan, this is your fault. General Zhou is a soldier of a country. Now that he can no longer protect us, is it possible that he wants us to die with him?"

"Haha... Okay, I will tell General Zhou later that General Zhou is very anxious and wants to return to the emperor. I guarantee that as soon as General Zhou leaves, the entire Bafang City will be in chaos." Zhang Laosan laughed.

road.

"Why the chaos?" someone asked.

"Think about it carefully. When General Zhou is here, those refugees don't dare to act recklessly. Once General Zhou leaves, the refugees will immediately turn into wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones."

"..."

Everyone immediately looked at each other in silence.

As Zhang Laosan said, once Zhou Sen leaves, Bafang City will lose control.

"We can find a way to let the refugees leave with General Zhou..."

"You are a fool for calling General Zhou! General Zhou has neither weapons nor food and grass, so you want him to leave with nearly one hundred thousand refugees single-handedly?" Tu Lao sneered.

"This...this..." The squire who came up with the idea was suddenly speechless.

Now, the situation has become obvious. Even if Zhou Sen leaves Bafang City, the refugees in Bafang City will not leave.

"How about we all donate some weapons, food and other things?" a squire suggested.

"Eh... this is a good idea. General Zhou has no troops and food now, so those refugees will naturally not follow. If everyone finds a way to get some weapons and food, General Zhou will not be able to refuse. By then, even if General Zhou can

Taking a group of refugees away can also relieve the pressure on Bafang City."

"This is so true! General Zhou wants to rescue the emperor now and is short of soldiers, horses and weapons. If we provide weapons, food and grass, plus a large number of refugees, we can form an army, General Zhou will definitely not refuse..."

"General Zhou is here..."

While everyone was discussing in full swing, Zhou Sen, who was belatedly arriving, appeared at the door of the meeting hall.

After Zhou Sen sat down, before he could speak, the entire meeting hall started to get noisy. In short, the general idea was to agree with Zhang Laosan's initial point of view, organize refugees and send troops directly. As for weapons and food, it is not a problem. Everyone is united.

Working together, all problems can be solved...

…

Basically, Zhou Sen didn't say a few words before the matter was finalized. Then, a group of squires split up and began to return to their families to organize weapons and food.

The whole Bafang City was boiling.

With the support of the squires and local tyrants, things became much simpler. Money provided money, grain provided food, and then all the blacksmiths were gathered together to make weapons.

At this time of war, the requirements for weapon configuration are naturally not high. Each refugee will receive a red tassel gun and a short dagger.

The requirements for the Hongying Gun are very simple. You only need to cast the gun head, sharpen it, and just find a strong piece of wood or bamboo, and you can use it. As for the dagger, it is mainly for self-defense. Once the Hongying Gun is damaged, the dagger can also be used in close combat.

Some effects are better than being defenseless with bare hands.

In addition to weapons, all resources in Bafang City were pooled to sew some leather and iron armor and equip some refugees.

While Bafang City was in full swing, Zhou Sen and Zhang Laosan were drinking at the Flagship Villa.

"The general is indeed far-sighted and far-sighted. Mr. Zhang admires him!" Zhang Laosan raised his wine glass and toasted to Zhou Sen with a look of admiration on his face.

"This is also thanks to Brother Zhang's help!" Zhou Sen smiled slightly.

"Hey, those gentry and rich people will not shed tears until they see the coffin. If we leave early, Bafang City can still be saved. Now it is too late..." Zhang Laosan looked around the grand hall, with a trace of reluctance on his face.

color.

"As long as people are still around, no matter how big the family fortune is, they can build it." Zhou Sen said calmly.

"What the general said is that Zhang Laosan had already decided to give up the business when he heard that the general had arrived in Bafang City."

"Brother Zhang, it's thousands of miles away from Wuchao City and passes through countless cities. You have to think deeply!" Zhou Sen slowly stood up and looked at the impressive hall with his hands behind his hands. It was obvious that the Zhang family was everywhere.

The city is considered a well-established family.

"General, there is no need to persuade. Our Zhang family has already made a decision. We are willing to follow the general, even if we have to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, we do so voluntarily!" Zhang Laosan stood up and looked at Zhou Sen seriously.

"Okay, I will definitely go all out!"

Zhou Sen walked to the door of the hall and looked at the turbulent dark clouds in the sky.

Sangbao and a group of cosmic hunters looked at the back of the long-haired figure with incomparable reverence. The hunters in the meteorite belt witnessed the changes in Bafang City with their own eyes. Everything was under Zhou Sen's control.

.

There is no doubt that Zhou Sen is a tactical and military genius, and he can always create the environment he needs.

Just as the whole city of Bafang City was boiling, the Crusaders were also mobilizing their troops. Sixty thousand Crusaders surrounded the transportation thoroughfares around Bafang City. They were only allowed to enter and not go out. Moreover, under Bafang City

, the Crusader rangers are like ghosts...

Twenty miles away from Bafang City, there is a simple Crusader cavalry camp. The top commander of this cavalry camp is General Losi who came from Zhenshuiguan. He is responsible for commanding the recovery of Bafang City.

There is no doubt that Losi is a resourceful soldier. When he arrived at Bafang City, he did not immediately launch a siege. Instead, he used rangers to besiege the entire Bafang City.

No one knows the geographical location of Bafang City better than General Losi, because he captured Bafang City.

Bafang City is not a battleground for military strategists, but it is a useless place because it is located in a fertile plain area. Therefore, 20,000 troops are stationed in Bafang City. It is for this reason that Luoxi

The general is determined to win Bafang City. Of course, this is also related to his face.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees were not on Luo Xi's mind. Luo Xi had defeated countless refugees. He knew that the refugees were reckless men with well-developed limbs and simple brains. When they had the upper hand, they would use their momentum to lose.

, the entire front collapsed immediately, with no military appearance or discipline to speak of, and nothing to worry about.

What worries Luo Xi is Zhou Sen, who is on the gangster list.

Luo Xi didn't know much about Zhou Sen, because he was not among the first soldiers to arrive in the Han Empire following Marshal Gore. What he knew about Zhou Sen was that he was a powerful figure on the Xiongnu grasslands, and

, Zhou Sen also had considerable influence in the military of the Han Empire. As for some of the details, Luo Xi basically knew nothing about it.

Although Zhou Sen was a household name in the Han Empire, because Zhou Sen disappeared for a year, and this year was when the Han Empire was in chaos, Zhou Sen had no achievements, so the Crusaders military ignored Zhou Sen.

At one time, Zhou Sen was killed in the battle on the Immortal Island of Japan.
