The relatively large amount of grain, the gold, silver and wealth obtained were not as good as when they were in Shangyang County, and the total amount was less than 10,000 taels, and most of them were copper coins.

After all, before Liu Feng and the others arrived, Yang Chong, the magistrate of Yinyang County, issued an order to block the city gate. The owner of the fort also left in a hurry and moved overnight, only had time to take away the property. Because of too much food stored, it was too late to transfer it.

"······························································································································

Antai took the booklet to report.

When Liu Feng heard that there were so many pig irons, his eyes lit up. Now most of his soldiers are unarmed and greatly affect their combat effectiveness. If they can be equipped with iron weapons, they will definitely greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

"I remember when I was organizing a battalion, I told you to put all the craftsmen into the logistics camp. How many blacksmiths are there now?"

"Report to the lord, there are fifty-three blacksmiths in the logistics camp now."

Antai said quickly.

"There are only more than fifty people, and there are a little less. You ask each of them to bring ten apprentices, and then use that batch of pig iron to build 100 hoes for me first."

"hoe?"

"That's right, it's a hoe, I'm using it urgently."

Liu Feng nodded and said.

"yes!"

Although he didn't know what his lord wanted to build a hoe, An Tai didn't dare to ask too much. After receiving the order, he hurriedly made arrangements.

After leaving the fort and coming outside, Liu Feng suddenly felt a noisy wave of sound rolling from all directions. Now the entire Yangjiawu Fort has become a large military camp, crowded.

If Yinyang County sent people to investigate, they would immediately discover the situation here. Unfortunately, they have closed the city gates until now and have not sent out a single soldier.

"Let's go and take a look at the county town."

Liu Feng gently clamped the horse's belly, and the black horse immediately raised its four hooves and trotted in one direction. Yang Rong and more than fifty black-armored guards behind him quickly followed.

Yangjiawu Fort is not too far from the south gate of the county town. Liu Feng rode his horse and trotted for about ten minutes, and a huge city appeared in front of him.

Unlike the low city wall in Shangyang County, the city wall in front is obviously four or five meters high, and a urn city was built in front of the city gate. Although there is no moat, it can definitely be called a solid city.

Looking at the semicircular urn city, Liu Feng sighed in his heart, "It seems that the method of opening the city gate is not feasible."

Because even if Yang Rong could open the gate of Wengcheng and then rush into the gate, there was a gate inside. Once the gate of Wengcheng was closed, it would be a death for catching a turtle in the jar.

If you can't open the city gate, you can only dig a tunnel. In this way, you must find a secret place close to the city wall.

After walking around the county town for a morning with Liu Feng and his men, he finally found a suitable location. It is only more than 100 meters away from the county town wall. It is surrounded by a dense forest, covered by trees, and it is difficult to find the movement here on the top of the city.

Behind the grove is a slope, from which people and soldiers who dig tunnels can enter the grove continuously without being discovered by the guards patrolling the city walls.

Just as Liu Feng was about to go back and arrange for people to come and dig the tunnel, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from outside the woods, and then someone heard loudly shouting: "I am an envoy from Mingyang County, let me in quickly, and there is an important military report."

"Listen to the people below, our county magistrate has ordered the city gates to be blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. If you have any important military information, go to the city to report."

A response came from the top of the city wall.

"It's too late. The bandit leader Chen Sheng led an army of 50,000 to besiege Mingyang County. We are almost unable to hold on. Please send troops to rescue me quickly!"

The messenger shouted under the city that in order to make him successfully break through, hundreds of heroes in the city used their lives to pave a bloody path for him.

"You wait a moment."

The people on the top of the city did not dare to make decisions without authorization. They immediately ran into the city tower and reported the matter to Yang Ying, the county magistrate who was responsible for blocking the city gate. When Yang Ying heard that the rioters besieged Mingyang County, he felt relieved inexplicably. He had been worried these two days and had never slept peacefully.

"You go and tell the people from Mingyang County that our troops are insufficient and we cannot send reinforcements. Let him go back and wait for reinforcements in the prefecture."

Yang Ying stretched, stood up, and prepared to go home to take a break. He spent the night in the city gate tower these two days, and now he was very uncomfortable.

After receiving such a response, the envoy at the city became anxious. The reinforcements from the prefecture had no idea when they would arrive. If reinforcements from Yinyang County were not invited, Mingyang County might not be able to hold on until tomorrow.

"Mingyang and Yinyang are less than 60 miles apart. Don't you understand the truth that the lips and teeth are dead? If Mingyang falls, the next one is Yinyang!"

"Let's go quickly, we said that there is not enough troops, and we can't do anything!"

After the people on the city wall said that, they no longer paid attention to the messenger.

"Impossible. Yinyang County is a big county. I want to see Lord Yang Chong. Let me in quickly. You can't stand by death and refuse to save me."

Unfortunately, the messenger let the screaming scream, and there was no response on the city.

"How can you do this?"

The messenger's voice choked and his face showed despair, "Sir, I am incompetent. I was unable to invite a reinforcement. I can only apologize if I die!"

After he finished speaking, he directly crashed into the city wall and fell into a pool of blood.

"Let's go back."

Liu Feng looked at the slightly twitching corpse in front of him and turned around and left the grove.

In a blink of an eye, four days have passed, and in these short four days, the entire land of Jizhou can be said to be changing.

A spark can start a prairie fire. After Chen Sheng, large-scale rebels broke out in various parts of Jizhou, and it was a trend of sweeping across Jizhou.

The rebellion in Laiyang Prefecture alone rose to six places. This situation immediately disrupted the original arrangement of the prefecture. The army that was about to send an encirclement and suppress Chen Sheng had to make changes and divide the troops to quell the chaos, but there were only so many soldiers in the prefecture. Once the troops were divided, their strength would inevitably be weakened.

This situation made Lu Chengwen, who had always been confident in his heart, feel very worried.

On the other side, after four days and night digging, Liu Feng's men finally dug the tunnel into Yinyang County. Originally, so many people took turns to dig it, and it only took three days to complete it, but the foundation of the city wall was too solid and it took a lot of effort to dig through it.

During these four days, in addition to sending people to dig out the tunnels, Wang Tieniu's recruitment also went very smoothly. When he heard that he could eat enough, the hungry people around him wanted to drill into the military camp, and there were many half-year-old children.

After four days of recruitment, Liu Feng's troops suddenly reached more than 30,000. This was the result of intentional control of the number, otherwise it would have been possible to reach 50,000. No wonder ancient uprisings were always in an army of hundreds of thousands or millions.

Less than ten days after traveling here, he became a small warlord with tens of thousands of troops. Liu Feng said that the pressure was a bit high. In order to stabilize and control the rapidly expanding army, he had to disperse the conscripted bandits into various teams.

Now these black armor men have the lowest positions in the team.
