TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 746: Chapter 328: The Siege and People’s Hearts_2

With the influx of a large number of outsiders and the revival of local production, Hanzhong’s development was greatly stimulated, and the place gradually regained some of its former prosperity.

But it was just a few points.

After more than ten years of development, the once-empty Nanzheng city has only recovered a population of about 100,000, far from the more than 300,000 at its peak.

Due to the lack of population, even if urgent conscription were carried out today, the city households would only be able to muster 20,000 militia, not even reaching 50,000 people.

Although they could not gather 50,000 soldiers, the 32,000 troops still made Dongfang Wuyun feel relieved.

As the deputy general said, with these 30,000 people and himself as an Inborn Grandmaster, even if there were 100,000 Chu soldiers outside the city, Nanzheng city could still be defended for a while.

Not to mention, in fact, there aren’t many Chu people outside the city. On the south bank of the river, the Chu soldiers camped in the east direction. Judging from the scale of their camp and stove quantity, there are at most 30,000 to 40,000 people.

The naval forces on the water seemed to cover the sky and hide the sun, stretching for more than ten miles, covering the entire river surface.

But Dongfang Wuyun was not an ordinary person either.

He was born into an aristocratic family in the east. He was one of the twelve upper nobility families in the Zhou Country, generations serving as grand generals, and his status was equivalent to that of the Linhai six families and seven clans in Yangzhou.

Such a prominent family, the carefully cultivated contemporary leader, naturally could not be a fool.

There are also rivers like the Yangtze in Zhou Country, and some naval forces were trained. Since Dongfang Wuyun took command of Hanzhong County, he went deep into understanding water warfare to guard against Chu State.

So even though he hadn’t really commanded a naval force, he could still tell from his past experience that the number of naval forces on the river in front of him was not large, and 20,000 to 30,000 people would be the limit.
