Everything was going as expected, Qing Cang took the lead and ordered the entire army to stand outside the city. They were all at the front line and gathered in the west of the city. Because this landlord is a must-pass place for locusts, they will definitely climb here.

Wu Chaojing said: "Commander, there are about 300,000 people in the city who responded to the call and collected all the crops that can be harvested yesterday. People also hate the locust plague. I will also divide the fine nets according to your instructions, and there are thousands of sacks."

"Okay, I understand! The whole army is on standby!"

Rather than saying that Qingcang has a high prestige, it is better to say that people are for their own livelihood. Once the crops are destroyed, the losses will be tragic. Moreover, most people still collect money from the Chinese army first and then plant these crops. Once the crops are gone, in addition to the crop losses, they will have to pay a sum of money, which is equivalent to adding insult to injury. Since the city lords have taken the initiative to attack, they have no reason to ignore this matter. For themselves and for this city.

The city was surrounded by people, waiting for the locusts to appear. Just the day before, Qing Cang sent someone to check it out, and the result was that the locust plague was really coming towards Huaxia City. According to his calculations, they would arrive at noon today, so he gathered a large number of people to wait for their arrival.

Suddenly someone exclaimed.

"Has the sky changed? Look, the dark clouds in the west!"

Following the direction the man pointed, people saw that the west was indeed dark and moving towards Huaxia City.

An old man said, "It shouldn't rain at this time. My years of rheumatism cannot react. That ball is not a dark cloud!"

"Not a dark cloud, what is that?"

Someone shouted immediately, his tone full of panic. "It's a locust!"

This call immediately caused panic. A large number of locusts were rushing to Huaxia City, and it was so dark that people were worried. There were at least billions of locusts. Only then did people remember that the purpose of today was to remove these locusts. Obviously, they were here. They would arrive in less than five minutes.

People closest to the people can vaguely hear the sound of their flapping their wings, buzzing, making people feel extremely upset.

At this time, people actually had some expectations for the future locusts.

"The city lord said that each person has 50 kilograms in a fixed amount. If you catch too much, you can also exchange it for money!"

"I heard that locusts taste great, but now they are good, and they are directly serving us delicious food."

"No, it can be eaten many ways, it is the most delicious when fried!"

"I can't help but eat it! Come on, locusts!"

"My nets are ready, just wait for them to arrive!"

"I even bring a basket."

People shouted and stopped panic, but instead were excited.

"We should be considered a joy in suffering, right?"

"This is probably the first time in my life that I can laugh when facing a locust plague."

...

Qing Cang cleared his throat and said, "The residents of Huaxia City, today will be our most difficult time. Qing Cang here, I, please everyone here to ask that you all put all the invaders in sacks! This year's harvest depends on you all!"

This is a cheering for the people and also makes people full of morale.

The man shouted: "Okay! The city lord said so. If we don't give anything, we can't argue!"

At the same time, people had neat slogans and everyone shouted in unison:

"Destroy the locusts!"

"Destroy the locusts!"

"Destroy the locusts!"

Qing Cang was very satisfied with the reaction of these people. He turned around and shouted to the army: "All the troops obey orders and help the people clear the locust plague together! Take action!"

"yes!"

The 100,000 troops quickly dispersed. At this moment, they were on the front line and tried to invite some locusts to be removed first. Each few people were holding large nets in their hands, and the nets were quickly opened, aiming at the direction where the locusts came.

A large number of locusts were like a large army. Facing the green crops outside the city of Huaxia, they seemed to have accelerated their flight, and their greedy nature was undoubtedly revealed. The entire sky was blinded by them and lost its color.

Finally, they descended from the sky and reached the edge of the field. Some locusts began to eat away from nearby plants. At the same time, people also moved, some of them were holding nets, some of them were carrying baskets, and some of them were carrying sacks. Some of them were dispatched by the whole family. The first wave of locusts arrived, and the arrival of the first wave of locusts was soon directly captured by people at the forefront. This short victory made people full of confidence, but these captured locusts were just the tip of the iceberg. The real army was still behind. They suddenly scattered around, and a large number of locusts continued to descend to the ground and began to eat away from the crops on the ground.

The soldiers of the Chinese Legion began to support the big net, aiming at the large number of locusts flying in. A large number of locusts were trapped in the net. At this time, a special person brought sacks to the sacks and began to receive the locusts on the net. Soon a sack was filled, and the sacks were transported to a place, waiting for the next step of processing.

After only twenty minutes, more than a hundred sacks were filled. This is really terrifying. The weight of billions of locusts is about 50,000 tons. Such a huge weight is distributed, plus the 100,000 people of the legion, if 400,000 people participate, one person will have to catch at least 250 kilograms to catch. In fact, it cannot be captured so many. First, although these locusts gather together, they are basically separated when they land. A group is easy to capture, but it is hard to say that they are scattered. Second, people have limited physical strength, so you can bear it by catching locusts all day long? A maximum of 50 kilograms per person is already at the top. There are still four-fifths left, which is basically impossible. Moreover, the golden period of catching has just landed for a moment.

Even though you say that, you cannot give up capturing because of the difficulties. That is a negative manifestation. Despite the difficulties, people have no intention of stopping.

As the capture continues, sacks are constantly piled to one side, and finally stacked into a form the same size as a hill.

"Report to the Commander, the thousands of sacks we have prepared are no longer enough!"

A sack can contain at most hundreds of kilograms, and faces a 50,000 tons of locusts, which cost at least 200,000. At the beginning, it was already filled with sacks. It was obvious that it was still beyond Qing Cang's expectations.

"People come and send people to the city to buy a large number of sacks. Second, throw the sacks containing locusts into the moat and pour them into one place after the locusts die! Wait for processing!"

There are only two ways to do it now. One is to add new sacks, but the quantity will definitely not be increased in a short time. The second is to empty sacks with locusts. If you want to empty sacks, you must consider the problem of locusts. The only way is to let them die, and the only way to make them die seems to be the only way to flood.

"yes!"

The guards immediately went down and began to drown the locusts in the moat with everyone.
