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.
