?Chapter 103: Chapter 100 Da Ling Country Chapter 103: Chapter 100 Da Ling Country Subsequently, the two descended the mountain and returned to Linguan Castle.
At this time, Linguan Castle was very crowded. Temporary tents filled the training field, and the sheep pens and pigsties within the garrison had all been cleared out to accommodate warhorses.
As for the pigs, sheep, and chickens, those that could be slaughtered had been, and the ones that couldn’t were temporarily placed in the homes of military households.
“Sir, here are the reports on the garrison’s food and supplies!” Yang Chengze found Yang Zhenshan and presented a document to him.
Yang Zhenshan walked into the study next to the fireplace, sat down, and glanced over the document.
“We should be able to hold out for a month!”
Linguan Castle originally didn’t have much food or supplies stored, but they had brought quite a bit of food and resources themselves, so holding out for a month was not a problem.
“Yes, and I’ve also selected the strong youths you asked for!” Yang Chengze added.
“How many?”
“One hundred twenty-three people!” replied Yang Chengze.
Linguan Castle has one hundred military households, and each household contributes one able-bodied person to enlist, with the rest either tending the fields or doing other work within the garrison.
All males between fifteen and forty were considered able-bodied. Aside from the one man each from a hundred households, selecting one more able-bodied was not a difficult task.
“Alright, get prepared. If the Hu Clan attacks, they will need to help us defend the city!” Yang Zhenshan instructed.
Since arriving at Linguan Castle, Yang Zhenshan had to prepare for the worst.
If the Hu Clan attacked, the force would not just be three or five hundred soldiers but at least a thousand or even several thousand.
Perhaps even more, but the area of Linguan Castle was limited, so no matter how many came from the Hu Clan, they couldn’t use them all.
Over the next few days, the Hu Clan sent more and more scouts, many of whom reached the vicinity of Linguan Castle.
At the same time, many scouts were dispatched from the city as well, and the scouts from both sides constantly clashed around the city.
Yang Zhenshan also sent out scouts, but his only patrolled three miles around Linguan Castle.
Given his command of these two hundred cavalry, it truly was a force he couldn’t afford to lose.
To prevent casualties, he even ordered that if they encountered Northern barbarians, they must immediately retreat to the castle.
