I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

That’s 70,000 people. In today’s age where people are the driving force of productivity, what do 70,000 people mean?

If there are 70,000 troops, they are enough to defend a strong city, and if someone wants to rebel, 70,000 people will also be a huge trouble.

Zhao Feng may not know, but Lin Fan knows very well.

When Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty started his army, he actually had only 800 people, but he managed to seize the country in the end. What's more, there are 70,000 people now. Lin Fan also knows very well what it means to gain the support of the people.

But Lin Fan is not here now, and Zhao Feng is in charge of the work.

Zhao Feng thought about it briefly and immediately decided to accept these people.

Because Zhao Feng didn't think these people were deceiving him, because the hatred on their faces was definitely not pretended, and he only had 2,500 people, and these people had no reason to deceive him.

If they wanted to resist, even if Zhao Feng and his men were armed, they would only be beaten and forced to flee.

Therefore, these people must be sincere, and Zhao Feng has no reason to refuse.

"In that case, you are soldiers now, but you still need weapons. Without weapons, you will cause great casualties." Zhao Feng said to them.

At this time, an old man stood up and said, "I know where their arsenal is."

When Zhao Feng heard this, he immediately became excited and said, "Then take me there quickly."

Zhao Feng followed them to the armory, opened the warehouse door and looked inside. He found that there were quite a few weapons inside, but not many armors.

Zhao Feng made a rough estimate and found that the weapons were enough to arm 10,000 to 20,000 people, but the armor was only enough for more than 5,000 people.

But Zhao Feng was not discouraged, because this time Zhao Feng was going to launch a sneak attack, and there must be people in the military camp who were not wearing armor, so he could pick up their armor then.

Moreover, even if all of Huangfu Qi's men were wearing armor and holding weapons, the same could not be said for Cao Chun's men.

So Zhao Feng took these new recruits to search for weapons and armor. In Huangfu Qi's military camp, they found a total of 560 sets of armor, and in Cao Chun's military camp, they found a total of 30,000 sets of armor.

In other words, Zhao Feng now has more than 30,000 armed men, and 40,000 people. Although they are not armed, they all hold kitchen knives and hoes, and can serve as a great force at critical moments.

However, Zhao Feng did not intend to let these people without armor attack first, but to let these soldiers wearing armor attack.

"Those of you who have armor and weapons, follow me first. Those of you who don't have armor and weapons, please stay back. After all of us are dead, if you still want to come forward, you can come forward." Zhao Feng did not say anything absolute. After all, most of these people were just relying on their passion. They had no training at all and might get scared halfway through the fight.

But these people all said that they would not retreat. Of course, it is impossible to tell whether this is true or not for the time being.

Zhao Feng led them towards the city gate. Sure enough, there were many people lying in ambush there. They were probably afraid that Zhao Feng would lead people to launch a sneak attack.

But this time they were wrong. They never expected that the people's hearts were no longer with the State of Chu.

"Go!" Zhao Feng shouted, and rushed forward with his men.

These people were quite scared at first. After all, the government troops of Northern Chu had oppressed them for so long. To be honest, they were still a little scared when they were asked to take up arms to resist them.

However, when they saw Zhao Feng moving like an unstoppable force and stabbing these government troops to death one by one, they realized that these people who had been riding on their heads were not actually omnipotent.

They are also human beings. After being hit by a knife, they will bleed and die. So what are they afraid of?

So some people started to take action. Although they had not received any training, their hatred towards the government troops had reached its peak, so they fought with the attitude of exchanging lives for lives.

It is precisely this style of play that makes these people feel afraid.

After some civilians killed the government troops, they became much bolder and shouted to their companions behind them: "Brothers, don't be afraid. They are afraid of us now. Think about the days when we were bullied. We will make them pay with blood!"

All the civilians moved, whether they were wearing armor or not, and began to attack the soldiers frantically.

They didn't know that these people were Huangfu Qi's subordinates, and they were not very clear about what Huangfu Qi had done. They only knew that these people were from the Chu army, and there was definitely no good person in the Chu army, so they wanted revenge.

In this way, Zhao Feng led these people to easily wipe out the army that was blocking him. Then, Zhao Feng rushed to the city gate at an extremely fast speed.

Huangfu Qi felt that she would definitely not lose at this time, because her army had already reached the city gate. If she fought Lin Fan head-on, she would definitely not be afraid.

After the two sides actually fought, Huangfu Qi realized that he was wrong. The reason why Lin Fan was so powerful was not because of his strange weapons. It turned out that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under Lin Fan was also very strong.

Although her soldiers were also well-trained, they were ultimately no match for Lin Fan's men. Nian Gui usually treated these people in the best possible way, and their food and drink were all excellent. Therefore, when Nian Gui originally led them, their physical fitness was already excellent.

Now that they are under Lin Fan's command, Lin Fan is still generous with food and drink, and Lin Fan's training methods are more comprehensive, which has greatly improved their physical fitness. Therefore, although these soldiers cannot fight ten at a time, they are more than capable of fighting two at a time.

Just when Huangfu Qi was fantasizing that he could still defeat Lin Fan, shouts of killing came from behind his army.

Huangfu Qi stood on a high place, looked back, and was stunned.

Because there were not a few hundred people behind him, or even a few thousand people, but tens of thousands of people rushing towards him.

Are there tens of thousands of people from the opposite side who have sneaked into the city? Is Cao Chun a waste that he could allow so many people to sneak in?

But upon closer inspection, Huangfu Qi discovered that the armor worn by the people behind him were all from the Chu State, and some of them were not even holding weapons, but only kitchen knives and hoes.

Huangfu Qi understood that most of these people were ordinary people, but why did they want to rebel?

Isn’t Chu their country?

Huangfu Qi couldn't figure it out because she had never known how people lived in other places. She just took care of her own little piece of land.
