Seven days later, the conscription order came as Gu Shanhai had expected.
Apart from Li Yu and his hundred Xihuo Dao Soldiers and eight hundred ordinary soldiers, all others were conscripted. The inspection that day clearly recorded the numbers and strength.
The enemy did not recklessly send everyone to battle; there had to be some reserves. If not, feelings of mutiny and rebellion would arise, as anyone who had seen the Dragon Tooth Daoist Soldiers knew their strength.
Of course, it was not just the local militia who were conscripted; Daoist Soldiers from various prefecture cities were also taken. Whether they were led by the prefecture lords themselves or belonged to the great families, almost nine out of ten were drafted, leaving just a minimal force behind. This truly stirred up a lot of upset, but after the uproar, everyone obediently packed up their rations and hit the road.
The power of a Provincial Governor was far superior to that of a prefecture city.
