Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Soon it was time to celebrate the New Year, and Heishui Town had been on holiday for seven days, and the tenants and refugees in the whole town were preparing for a prosperous New Year.

Although there was a famine this year, the residents of Heishui Town had a better life this year than in previous years.

In addition to everyone being able to eat a full meal, Zhangjiazhuang also killed three fat pigs, which contained hundreds of catties of pork, and distributed a piece of pork the size of two fingers to each household.

So this year in Heishui Town, every household can eat meat. Although there is not much, even if you smell the meat, it is good to wipe your lips, at least you can see the meat.

Zhang He also lived a much richer life this year than last year. He killed five sheep and treated all the guards to a sumptuous meal.

The five sheep bought at the beginning of the year have raised more than 20 now, and Zhang He wanted to kill a few more, but old man Zhang refused to give up, and wanted to keep the ewes for their cubs.

After this famine, there are very few pigs and sheep left in the villages and towns. It is not an exaggeration to say that there will be none. If it can be stabilized next year, it will really need a lot of pigs and sheep for breeding.

In the past year, Zhang He has experienced too many things, from being penniless to now controlling a small town with a population of more than 10,000.

His height has grown from 1.3 meters to nearly 1.5 meters, from knowing nothing to learning the characters of this world, practicing martial arts skills, and combining "Thirteen Knives" and "Chasing the Wind without Shadow Step" Practice to great success.

He also learned the techniques of cultivating immortals, and possessed the second level of Qi training.

Zhang He had just finished eating the New Year's dinner, but Ma Gan rushed to look for him.

"My lord, I just got the news that the refugees outside Dehua City are planning to attack the city at midnight tonight!"

Zhang He was taken aback, these refugees would really look for opportunities, the defense in the city should be very lax tonight.

"Okay, I see, you tell our people to withdraw immediately after the city is broken, and we will not participate in this riot."

Zhang He intends to wait and see what happens, and see how the incident develops. If there is something to do, it will not be too late to make a move in the future.

Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, at least it can consume the white armored cavalry, which is a good thing for Zhang He.

Ma Gan agreed and went down to send an interrogation, Zhang He also greeted old man Zhang and left the door.

He plans to go to the scene to watch the battle and see how the strength of both sides is.

The one hundred guards dispatched by Heishui Town some time ago were thrown into different refugee forces.

Two of them successfully seized power in the refugee gang, and each controlled a team of more than 10,000 people and became the leader of the bandit.

The purpose of these refugees gathering together is for food and survival, so the landlords and lords in each town were cleaned up.

However, many treacherous and cunning landlords also had property in Dehua City, and they moved into the city early.

So most of the towns just rushed to nothing and didn't get much food.

Fortunately, Heishui Town gained some prestige in the last battle, and the nearby refugee gangs did not come to harass them again.

These refugee gangs wandered around in search of food. Recently, a bandit leader named Wei Ziming led a group of gangsters to unify all the refugee gangs in Dehua.

This Wei Ziming's ancestors have been bandits for generations, but it is different from the bandits formed by ordinary refugees. He also practiced family martial arts, and his martial arts cultivation is not weak, and there are generally obedient bandits under his command.

The guards sent by Heishui Town couldn't handle him, so they followed the general trend and all voted for Wei Ziming.

Anyway, Zhang He didn't have much interest in controlling the gang of refugees. He didn't have so much food to feed so many people, and he didn't want to be a bandit and plunder everywhere.

Zhang He rode on the white horse and rode fast all the way to Dehua County.

Previously, this road had been occupied by gangs of refugees, big and small, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a robbery in three steps, and a robbery in five steps.

The road was surprisingly quiet tonight,

No one jumped out to rob the road, and they must have gone to Dehua City.

When Zhang He arrived outside Dehua City, the siege had already begun.

Wei Ziming led a group of bandits under him to supervise the battle, using swords to coerce and lure the refugees to attack the city.

In order not to be discovered in advance by the city, the refugees did not make siege equipment, but used the most stupid way.

At this time, at the forefront of the refugees, a group of old and young women and children each carried a bag of earth and rocks, braved arrows and stones, rushed towards the city wall fearlessly, dropped the earth bags and ran back.

But these people can really come back alive, only a very small number.

An old man tried his best to throw a bag of earth and rocks under the city wall, and at this time a stone fell down on the city wall.

The old man fell to the ground and his leg was broken on the spot. Just as he was struggling to get up, a bag of earth and rocks hit him heavily.

Before he had time to push away this bag of earth and rocks, there was a second bag of earth and rocks soon, and the third bag of earth and rocks had been thrown down. In the end, the old man could only give up struggling and let the bags of earth and rocks bury him alive.

"Daddy! Daddy!"

Behind the refugees, a man watched the old man being buried alive, his eyes were red and his face was covered with tears.

Watching his father die in front of his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, his hands were tied, a steel knife was placed around his neck, and his two children were tied beside him, still whimpering and crying.

"You! Go on!"

A war supervisor pointed a knife at a woman next to the man and ordered her to continue filling the city wall with earth and rocks.

"Damn it!"

"mother!"

"Don't! Don't! Mother can't die!"

The woman turned her head and glanced at the three father and son, trying to squeeze out a stiff smile.

The woman left the father and son with a smile that she thought was bright, and then without saying a word, she rushed towards the city wall with arrows on her back.

She only hoped that her death would bring the safety of the three of them, father and son.

This is just a small scene in the siege of the refugees, and it is probably the same in other places. Most of the people injured did not die at the first time, and then they were buried alive under the city wall.

The soil method Wei Ziming came up with was to fill it with human life.

It's just that in the face of the threat of almost certain death, there are too few refugees who can really bravely step forward regardless of life and death.

So he asked the supervising team to threaten to drive away some old and weak people to fill the city wall with earth and rocks.

This method is really easy to use, and Wei Ziming is very proud of his intelligence.

It only took a short time for the refugees to fill up the ditch in front of the city wall with earth, rocks and corpses, and a small slope of earth had been piled up under the city wall.

"dash forward!"

"As long as you rush into the city, you can eat and drink enough to celebrate the new year!"

"Come on! There is food and drink in the city!"

Several shouts sounded, arousing the already hungry hearts of the refugees, stepping on the corpses under the city wall and climbing towards the city wall.

Long-term hunger makes people think about food day and night. Now that the city walls have been filled with earth, rocks and corpses, food is right in front of them.

The refugees now no longer need any threats from Wei Ziming, and they all rush forward.

The few guards on the city wall were quickly overwhelmed by refugees.

The refugees are like a black tide, pouring into the city from the city walls and the open gates.

Wherever the Black Tide passed, cocks crowed and dogs barked, cries of parents and mothers, shouts of anger, screams of dying, all kinds of noises continued to ring out.
