    Kotokuji Chengxian's poisonous plan did have an unexpected effect, but Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who defended the city, was not a good person. He knew whether Matsukura Castle would be attacked for a while, so he personally came to Suiweishan Castle to supervise the battle. In his organization  The gold juice that had been buried for a long time in the lower city was unsealed, and the people were busy setting up large pots to boil the gold juice over fire. The boiling gold juice exuded an unconcealable stench.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki walked slowly to the cauldron of golden juice with a bamboo stick, blocked his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and frowned: "Uenosuke, please be careful, this is the city defense recorded in the "Martial Sutra Summary"  You know why I want to build such a high stone wall. Standing on the wall and spraying it on the army will have a miraculous effect!" Numata Yumitsu coughed twice, and he couldn't bear the stench and deliberately kept a distance.  After feeling better, he said: "You can also insert the arrows and cook them, but this method is unnatural and is despised by the Wu family. Is it really okay for us to use it this way?" "Allow him to be unkind, but I will not be unjust.  ?" Yamamoto Tokiyuki snorted: "Such a sinister and vicious tactic of attacking the city by civilians is not the work of a samurai. There is a vicious monk with evil intentions in the army opposite. Since he dares not use such vicious tactics,  I don¡¯t mind teaching him a lesson! I also know that this method is harmful to Tianhe and cannot be abused, so I transferred the National Army and the Shiina Army and left it to you to execute it, just this time." Numata Yumitsu cheered up,  He quickly said solemnly: "Master, please rest assured!" Seven or eight strong men covered their mouths and noses with cloths and carried cauldrons of golden juice up the city wall. There were twenty cauldrons like this all over the city wall of Shuiweishan City.  The foul-smelling golden juice contained inside became a reminder of death. Yumitsu Numata stood at the top of the city and looked at the crazy followers below the city with unbearable expressions.  He hesitated for a long time and couldn't bear to give the order.  At this moment, there was a burst of noise from the top of the city.  At one point, Yikui believers stepped on the bodies of their companions and climbed up the city wall.  Fortunately, the Kira Army samurai with sharp eyes and quick hands kicked him down again. The ashigaru, who was slow to react, immediately rushed over, picked up his spear and stabbed him hard, finally resolving the crisis.  "It's not that I'm cruel, it's just that these troubled times are so cruel. I'm sorry!" Yumitsu Numata waved his hand and shouted: "Spill the golden juice! Sprinkle it in places with many people. Don't waste it!" The so-called golden juice  It is human feces and urine, which can be used as medicine to treat diseases. It is also a weapon recorded in military books as a weapon for defending the city.  Boiling golden juice is an ancient version of a biochemical weapon. Golden juice is different from boiling water or boiling oil. The former has poor thermal insulation performance and the latter is too expensive to collect. The golden juice has excellent thermal insulation performance after being heated once, not to mention that it is splashed on the crowd below the city.  The Yikui army with no armor or light armor, even the elite warriors wearing iron armor were hit on the head and face, and the only fate was death.  The Yikui army under the city had no idea that a catastrophe was about to happen. The boiling golden juice splashed on their bodies and immediately burned their flesh and skin. The young Yikui believers were covered in stinking golden juice, and their bright red flesh was exposed and went crazy.  Wailing and flopping around.  But the more he did this, the more wounds cracked all over his body, and gradually the wailing was drowned out by more screams.  The figure also disappeared into the crazily surging Yikui army.  The stench of corpses, gold and juice overlapped together, blowing in the cool sea breeze of early autumn to the Xiangyikui camp on the south bank, making those domineering monks vomit up the stench, and the eyes of the wise men of Guangde Temple were smoked.  He couldn't open his eyes, his nose was dripping with snot and tears, and he felt like dying. It took him a while to regain his composure. By this time, he had already vomited to the point where he no longer had the strength to speak.  Twenty pots of golden juice were poured down, and the stench that reached the sky completely extinguished the fanaticism of the Yikui believers. When they came back to their senses and found themselves among a mountain of corpses, the huge mental stimulation drove many Yikui believers crazy.  The morale of the soldiers collapsed, and tens of thousands of believers fled without their lives.  As a last resort, Guangde Temple Chengxian sent out the main force of an army to try to restore the morale of the defeat, but the mountain of corpses under the city was so unclear that no one could stand still. After attacking for a few hours, his eyes were covered with smoke.  They retreated in confusion, and tried all kinds of methods for several days to no avail. The defenders in the city who wanted to clean up the corpses did not react violently, so they just rained arrows to deal with it.  An arrow soaked in gold juice would rot in the wound within a few days of being hit, and then the injured would scratch wildly until the whole body festered and died. With this experience in mind, no one would dare to go to the city to collect the corpses, leaving them to rot and emit a stink.  There are flies flying all over the sky, and the siege of the city is even further out of reach.  Fortunately, a severe storm swept through, and the heavy rain washed away the stench of the rotting corpses. The defenders in the city couldn't stand the stench. The olfactory organs of the defenders in the city were damaged by the smoke. Yumitsu Numata  With an order, thousands of people wearing raincoats threw the bodies into the swollen Saoyuki River in the heavy rain. After many days of heavy rain, the smell was finally washed away.  When the clouds gathered and the rain stopped, the autumn harvest was less than half a month away, and the Chengxian of Guangde Temple hurriedly sent out a large army.?The siege continued. This time, the Yi Kui army was quite disciplined. They just let the main army surround a few city gates and attack fiercely. Worrying that they were not energetic enough, they specially sent the 500 iron artillery team to Otou Gate as fire support.  The sound of pinging, pinging, banging iron cannons came one after another. The army had always been mostly rural land servants and had never seen such a thing as iron cannons. When they heard the sound like spring thunder, they thought it was the God of Thunder from the sky cheering for them, and their morale was immediately boosted to attack.  The pace sped up a bit, and the fortified city was still standing after several days of storming. In half a month, more than 600 defenders were killed in the city. The so-called seizing the city in five or seven days became a complete joke.  Numata Yumitsu stood at the top of the city full of energy and looked very excited. The training in the past few months was a test of his studies over the past few years, and it was also a huge improvement in his own level. He was in charge of every detail in Shuiweishan City.  To be able to lead thousands of troops and thousands of townspeople to complete such a large-scale defense battle at a young age in his early twenties is such a valuable experience that not everyone can encounter.  "Master, I silently counted forty-five times before launching the second salvo. I was sure that the weapons were old-style iron cannons. From a distance, I saw that the morale of the army was low and the formations were scattered. As long as there is cooperation from the navy, we will seize the opportunity to go out for a decisive battle.  I'm sure I'll catch them off guard!" Numata Yumitsu seemed extremely confident, and in his eyes, this was nothing more than a trick.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki did not comment on this, but changed the topic: "Uenosuke. You have done very well recently. But it is not perfect yet. I have an important task for you. Uozu City has always been under the influence of Echu.  The siege situation of Yikui Army is very urgent. It is up to you to lead the 4,000 Chinese troops to support the defenders of Yujin City. You will temporarily exercise military power on behalf of the city lord, but you must remember that you can only hold on and do not go out of the city to seek a decisive battle. I understand!  "Four thousand soldiers can only hold on and not seek a decisive battle? Why did Master put forward such harsh conditions?" Numata Yumitsu could only lead his troops to Uozu City with doubts in his mind.  It rained heavily a few days ago.  When the news came that the 30,000 Ichiki Iki Army was besieging Uozu Castle as a partial division, Shiina Yasuin approached Yamamoto Tokiyuki, hoping that the Kira Army would assist the Shiina family in blocking the 30,000 Ichimei Ichiki army. Faced with an absolute advantage in numbers and the old enemy Jinbo,  Shiina Yasuyin, a long-time enemy soldier, did not have the courage to go to the rescue with his little wealth.  He was also afraid that if he really brought all his family wealth to Uojin City, if the Kira navy came to destroy the bridge, he would only need to withdraw the firepower and material support from the sea, and allow the 30,000 troops to besiege Uojin City for up to a month.  The city was about to fall into a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, so he offered a very high price and was willing to reward the Kira family with land.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki didn¡¯t make it clear.  He still has high expectations for Numata Yumitsu, but now he is not mature enough and lacks the experience to be on his own.  A person who can only fight with his own elite troops is not a qualified general. There are still many wars that the Kira family will fight in the near future. If you want to become a commander, you must be familiar with the methods of commanding the Korean people. There is no shortcut to this.  Can go.  Letting him only defend but not attack is also a kind of training and consideration. As long as his 4,000 Chinese soldiers cooperate well with the Kira navy, it is still possible to win one or two sneak attacks, but the enemy opposite is not Guangtokuji Temple.  Chengxian, that big idiot, Shengxingji Yuncheng has more than 20 years of experience in leading troops, and Shenbao Changzhi, a local snake, is very familiar with Vietnam and is extremely difficult to deal with.  If Numata Yumitsu accidentally wins two games, he will inevitably feel lazy and contemptuous, and his judgment of attack will be more rash and subjective, which will definitely lead to big trouble. With the military strategy level of several generals, Numata will be able to figure out Numata quickly.  Youguang's skill level is so good that with a little cooperation, he can launch a backhand ambush and annihilate all the Uojin City defenders.  Let him defend the city because he is afraid that he will do something stupid when his head is hot. This is the same as practicing martial arts. If you want to learn to attack, you must first learn to defend. If you can't do well in defense, why talk about attack? Give him four thousand soldiers instead of  The four thousand new troops are to hone his command skills in defending the city in adversity. Only when he can lead a good team to defend the city in the face of the unfamiliar Chinese army can he be considered successful. Every challenge is a test for him. If he can overcome this  At the threshold, he has entered the house.  The purpose of sending Numata Yumitsu was to gain experience. He knew that his choice was gambling with his family and life. However, Yamamoto Tokiyuki still had great confidence in Numata Yumitsu. After years of contact and training, he knew that this apprentice was not a pedantic person like Ma Su.  A splash of golden juice is such a test. There is no place for a pedant to stand in this troubled world. Facts have proved that his performance is still very good.  As for Shiina Yasuin, who is full of confusion and is just a young boy, his idea is very stupid and naive. He also thinks that the Kira army will defend the city for him for free. After that, he will randomly pick a piece of war-torn land and give it to the Kira family.  He also recognized the guardianship of Shinkawa County obtained by Nagao Oikai in the first year of Daiei (1521), and Shiina was willing to be the "Shudai" to continue to control the actual control of Shinkawa County.  I have to say that his ideals are very full,But the reality is so skinny. Yamamoto Tokiyuki dismissed his perfunctory words. The Kira family did not defend Ezhong without any cost. It also cost money to invest so much money and food. How could it be the Shiina family?  The guardian generation can be finished in one fell swoop.  It is not impossible to move the Kira family's reinforcements to assist Uozu City. The prerequisite is to exchange a large territory near Uozu City. As long as Shiina Yasuin nods, the army will march to Uozu City the next day. This  The proposal was immediately rejected by Shiina Yasuyin. This gentleman had great ambitions and daydreamed about unifying Yuezhong. It was strange that he was not in a hurry to cede his own land.  As soon as the heavy rain stopped, the army started to take action again. Uozu Castle pressed even harder. There were a thousand defenders in the city and there were no known generals guarding the city. The Kira navy was not willing to take risks for them. Seeing that the city was about to be breached, they couldn't help it.  Hesitating, Shiina Yasuin was sure that Kira's army would probably have a way to persevere after Uozu Castle was broken.  He himself does not have this ability. Many of the more than 3,000 people whose only family he owns are from the country near Ujin City. Once Ujin City is breached, they will lose the support of their land and soldiers.  Peasants and soldiers don't care what your countrymen think. They must run back to their hometown.  Because humans are social creatures, they have a herd mentality.  As long as the first deserter appears.  Soon there will be more and more deserters, almost like a snowball getting bigger and bigger, and the morale that was originally good will collapse because of this. Without peasants and soldiers, there will be no Chinese people, and without the support of the Chinese people, the Shiina family will be in danger.  In the end, Shiina Yasuin chose to relent and was willing to give half of the Shiina family's land as a reward to the Kira family. The premise was that the Kira family must promise to protect the Shiina family from the invasion of Shiina Ichikui. He also hoped to go to Kasugayama Castle to visit the town hall after the war.  What he basically meant was that he wanted to use half of the land in exchange for the qualification to hitch a ride with the Kira family. Yamamoto Tokiyuki accepted his proposal and invited Shiina Changchun to visit Kasugayama Castle at the appropriate time, bluffing Shiina Yasuyin.  His face was pale, he said a few hasty words and then ran away in confusion.  Anyone with a discerning eye can see how skilled Shiina Yasuyin is. The Shiina family has been able to barely withstand the attacks of the Jinbo family in the past few years because they still have Gending Poseidon in the family. Without Shiina Changchang's constant reminders, in less than five years,  Shiina Yasuyin can destroy half of the Shiina family's foundation, and within ten years it will be enough to remove the Shiina family from Yuezhong.  Four thousand Chinese soldiers rushed to Uojin Castle on the return ship of the Kira Navy on the evening of the second day.  For the Kira Army to send troops to rescue so blatantly, the reaction of the Yikui Army was only to stare and curse.  They had no naval force and were unable to stop them. The Kira family took advantage of the opportunity in the evening to send troops back and respond to the meal. If you blocked them, you didn't block them. They were in a dilemma. In the end, they could only watch them take the boat and rush downstream.  Uojin Castle.  The main force of the Kira Navy Rangers did not dare to go deep into the Saoyuki River because the river was not wide, and the Rangers did not have enough ships. The fleet was mainly composed of return ships that transported supplies and guarded a port in Uozu Castle.  It's more difficult. Asking them to block it is simply asking them to die.  A few days later, the morale of the Yikui side had recovered somewhat. It seemed that their monks had instilled many things into them to encourage them to sacrifice themselves bravely. In short, the Yikui army of less than 70,000 men once again mustered up the courage to attack in a large scale. They learned their lesson and did not dare to use it.  After the tactic of attacking the city, the wise man always ordered the army not to touch the city wall. Now he didn't even need the gold juice.  Their main attack direction was still on a few city gates. They used their manpower advantage to cut down a few large trees to make battering rams. Thousands of believers braved the rain of arrows and hammered the gates with all their strength. The heavy hammer knocks made the city tremble.  The defenders at the head could not do anything about it, and they could not pour gold juice on the arrows and oars. Yamamoto saw that the situation was not good and simply gave up the attempt. He only soaked the arrows in a small amount of gold juice and continued to use them as biochemical weapons, and removed all the rest.  It is still difficult to deal with the calm Xiang Yijun. Fighting around the city gate is a deadlock. No matter how strong the gate is, there will always be a moment when it is breached. When the shaky Otemon survived the fifth day, Yamamoto Tokiyuki  Knowing that he must be prepared for a tough battle, he actively mobilized the samurai to boost morale, and arranged for the garrison in the city to have a good meal and a good rest.  At dawn the next day, the Ichiki Army launched an all-out attack. The Otemon Gate was finally smashed by a siege hammer before noon. The Ichiki Army swarmed into the city like hungry wolves. Kira's army fought and retreated.  Sannomaru held on, and a brutal siege was inevitable.  Three thousand Kira troops and two thousand Shiina troops in the city defended their positions, facing the attacks of violent storms again and again. The iron artillery team, which had always been in control of the army, showed its power and took advantage of the defender's lack of iron artillery. They hid behind and kept firing.  Cold shots, if it weren't for the biological and chemical weapons in their hands to damage their morale, the defenders in the city would not know how to deal with the crazy Yiyi Kui army.  The morale of both sides is not comparable. The first army has the initiative in terms of numbers, and the defenders have an absolute advantage in terms of equipment and training. The main reason is the geographical advantage.To give Yamamoto Tokiyuki the confidence to persevere, the layers of tiger's mouths, horses, and Mikazuki Hori on the circuitous slopes are like a huge maze. The towering walls and arrows and oars have become the main points of fire for harvesting lives.  The army has always had to pay a huge price if they don't have the money to go further. If they don't kill a single defender, they have to suffer several or even ten times more casualties. What's more important is that several cities support each other to protect the defenders to the maximum extent. During the day  After finally breaking through the Otemon gate, after a night of repairs, it was blocked by debris the next day. If you want to attack, you have to remove the blocked debris and then continue the attack. It takes time and effort to go back and forth, which also brings troubles to the defenders.  benefit.  During the day, the defenders were injured and at night they were forced to retreat and then retreated to Songcang City to recuperate, filling in for the defenders in the rear and continuing to defend the city.  Going back and forth like this has exhausted Yixiang Yikui.  Chengxian of Guangde Temple also tried to send a large army to stay in the outer city.  At least the gains made during the day must be preserved. As soon as the sun goes down and the main force retreats to Xiguang Temple, the defenders from other cities will come from outside the city and attack this team from both inside and outside.  Thousands of elites were lost in vain without achieving any results. Guangtokuji Chengxian seemed to realize that the situation was far more serious than he imagined. Seeing that the autumn harvest was imminent and he had not even taken down a single city, he began to get angry and immediately ordered  The First Army must seize Shuiwei Mountain City at all costs within three days.  He has always been ruthless to capture Shuiwei Mountain City.  They even gave up the attack on several other castles in order to capture Shuiweishan City and annihilate the defenders. According to Guangdeji Temple Chengxian's theory, as long as the defenders of Shuiwei Mountain City are annihilated, the other small towns will not be afraid at all.  Matsukura Castle can also be captured in an instant.  I have to say that his view is correct. Shuiwei Mountain City gathers 60% of the main force of the defenders. When the 60,000-strong army focuses on attacking Shuiwei Mountain City, and the big hand gate of this mountain city has long been broken, defending the city becomes an extremely arduous task.  Task.  The army always attacks in a hurry.  All the Echinakabo officials went into battle and attacked Sannomaru under the cover of the ashigaru holding rifles.  Sannomaru is still a stone wall with an earthen bank outside and built-in arrow sculls. Several tiger openings are easily blocked by the complex structure of Sanzukibori. If you want to cross the Mikazukibori, you need to not only fill the soil but also dig the soil. This workload is not enough for those who are always short of time.  It is almost impossible for an army to complete.  The main force of the defenders was stationed within several tiger's mouths, creating an insurmountable gap. The long and narrow trail was only for two people to pass side by side. It was surrounded by towering arrows and oars that looked like sharp swords. The army always tried to send out several  The ashigaru team rushed in and were wiped out within a quarter of an hour. They wisely gave up their plan to continue to storm the tiger's mouth, and instead forcibly filled up Horikiri and climbed over the wall to break into Sannomaru.  Yamamoto Tokiyuki stood on the terrace of the castle tower and looked sideways at the cage battle below the castle. The sound of iron cannons that sounded from time to time made him frown tightly. Although the old iron cannons had problems of one kind or another, they would not work in windless and dry weather.  There is no problem in shooting unarmored enemy troops within 20 meters. The large number of casualties of the defenders in the city basically come from the volleys of iron cannons. It only takes twenty iron cannons to focus their fire together, which is enough to kill the enemies in the arrows and oars.  The bow and arrows caused damage to the ashigaru. This continued for more than ten rounds, and it was basically impossible to stand on the arrows and sculls.  The defenders' response was very interesting. They simply put the bamboo bundles on the arrow sculls as a defensive grab. There were two or three narrow gaps between the six or seven thick bamboo bundles only for shooting. This response made the old iron  The cannon was completely useless. For the iron cannon ashigaru, the hit rate was as unpredictable as the floating clouds on the horizon. Occasionally, by luck, the bow and arrow hit the ashigaru in the gap, which was as rare as winning a jackpot.  The earth-filling team worked very quickly. It took only one day to fill in a passage over the stone wall after sacrificing hundreds of lives. The few samurai who had always been in control of Sannomaru were immediately attacked by a large group of archers and ashigaru.  Fire was shot into a human-shaped hedgehog before he could even run a few steps.  More and more Ashigaru climbed over the city wall one after another. The defenders in the city once again used new tactics. They used clay pots to throw oil that they had prepared for a long time at the Ichiku troops who broke into Sannomaru. The broken oil cans splashed all over their bodies.  It was oil. The bows and arrows were replaced by rockets that had been prepared for a long time and they fired at the oil. Clusters of flames were ignited out of thin air. The firemen struggled and rolled, tearing at the armor on their bodies in an attempt to free themselves. Soon they turned into  A puddle of indistinguishable rotten meat.  In three days, the Ichiki Army experienced repeated failures and finally took full control of Sannomaru. However, all the troops, food and weapons in Sannomaru were transferred to Ninomaru. The defenders calmly withdrew after paying hundreds of lives.  Ninomaru continues to hold on, and what will greet them next is the earth-bori built-in arrow scull outside Ninomaru's stone fence.  Neither the earth-filling method nor the concentrated fire of iron artillery could bring victory to the Ichikui army. The autumn harvest was approaching. Not only did the Chinese strongly demand that they stop the unnecessary offensive, but there were also complaints within the Kaga Ichikui army. Originally, it was said that  The city can be broken in five or seven days, then it took half a month, then it became a month, and finally it was said that it must be broken before the autumn harvest. NowThe autumn harvest is about to come and nothing has been harvested. More than 10,000 lives have been lost without even Mao. Chengxian of Guangde Temple is under tremendous pressure.  After a fierce dispute that lasted all night, dozens of Bokanado unilaterally announced their retreat early the next morning. In one day, the 60,000-strong army left only the remaining 20,000 ryo from Kaga Province.  Thousands of people, the Yuezhongfang official who flattered the loudest a month ago is also the most determined to leave. Since you can't bring benefits to them, you should be abandoned, no matter who you are.  It's not that the Kaga Ichikui army didn't want to leave, it was because they followed the order of General Chaoshouji Miteru and came to help. If they followed the retreat at this time, they would have no way to deliver. The fact that they didn't leave doesn't mean they still have the intention to continue fighting and die.  The officials of He Yikui's army united to persuade Chengxian of Guangde Temple to stop his attack in time. If he couldn't break it this time, he would fight next time.  What will happen if the Chengxian of Guangde Temple is not convinced?  His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and he only had about a hundred monks and soldiers in his hands. They were his cronies, so he stayed in Xiguang Temple to dominate and dominate. It was the officials who really fought and died. In the end, he glared at Shuiwei Mountain City with hatred, and he was unhappy.  led his troops to retreat.  At this time, Suiweishan Castle seemed to have experienced a catastrophe. Most of the houses were destroyed and torn to pieces. Several deep gaps were made in Sannomaru's stone wall. The soil wall was filled into several mounds, and the bodies of the war dead were buried.  Abandoned everywhere, many corpses were covered with flies, and the whole street was filled with an overwhelming stench.  The defenders in the city died in the battle, with 2,800 people killed, and almost all of the remaining Ashigaru were wounded. Half of the soldiers who died in the battle were Shiina Army and Kira New Army. The Kira New Army died so many because they were in the first place.  The front line bore the greatest casualties. Two out of every three Ashigaru killed by iron cannons were members of the Kira New Army. The more they defended, the more they died.  The reason why the Shiina Army suffered more casualties was that they were not familiar with the Kira family's military orders, and there was no response to the signal to retreat, or they moved slowly when they started to retreat, causing unnecessary losses. This lack of order caused the Shiina Army to be in a hurry in the early stage.  The losses increased a lot.  At the same time, Uozu Castle's defensive battle also successfully persisted to the final victory. Not long after arriving at Uozu Castle, Numata Yumitsu understood the special meaning of those two orders. Katsukoji Yunsei and Jinbao Nagashi were not simple figures.  The rhythm of the siege was just right, and he sometimes used the strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. He was so exhausted every day that he couldn't even think about sneak attacks out of the city.  Fortunately, the 4,000 Chinese troops he brought had a deep hatred for Yi Yi, and the overall morale was maintained well. In addition, the original defenders in the city and the two cities of Kyrgyzstan were able to deter the Gulf and Saoyuki River. This difficult cage could be overcome.  The city battle persists until the final victory.  After learning that Guangde Temple Chengxian led the army to retreat, Shengxing Temple Yuncheng, who was holding his breath and insisted on seizing the city first, also breathed a sigh of relief. Thirty thousand troops surrounded a flat city and attacked for a month, losing three people.  It's a bit ugly that more than a thousand people were not captured in the end, but it's still much better than the big idiot Cheng Xian of Guangde Temple. He killed more than 16,000 people, and even if more than half of them were ordinary believers, he couldn't hide his death.  The straw bag nature.  The victory in the two cage battles did not allow them to be careless. Yamamoto Tokiyuki, who returned to Matsukura Castle, strictly ordered the army not to go out to collect grain, let alone attack at will. The army had always been allowed to go if they wanted to grab grain west of the Saoyuki River.  Harvest, don't risk your life to harvest that little bit of food.  Most of the land in Central Vietnam was abandoned for several months because of this war. The owners of the fields either fled to Songcang City or were robbed without even their underpants. In the end, they were forced to choose to join the field or continue to flee, leaving unattended farmland.  How much food can be produced is still a question, and it is not wise to take risks to grab that little food.  Fortunately, there is still some food to collect on the front line of Yujin City. The unwilling part has always been Kuifang Guan, who led his own soldiers and crossed the border to invade the vicinity of Yujin City in an attempt to seize food. However, the local Chinese took advantage of the geographical advantage and ambushed them several times.  Having suffered a lot of losses, they wanted to retaliate but did not have the confidence to face the obstruction of high walls and deep fortifications. Without the great monks of Xiangzong to take charge of collecting grain, they did not dare to act haphazardly. They roared at Uojin City and retreated in a hurry.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
