At Danyang City Official Post, Cheng Ying looked at Cheng Yi in front of him and said in a cold voice: "Tonghou has returned to Beijing, how are you preparing over there!?"
"Back to the general, three thousand Wu Jing's troops were divided into three groups and blocked the three villages for nearly a month. No movement was seen from them... Are you ready to take action, general!?"
Cheng Yi replied respectfully.
"It's enough to let them live for more than a month... I have to return to Beijing as soon as possible and inform all the soldiers to attack the stronghold at noon today!" Cheng Ying stood up with a cold expression.
Cheng Yi followed him outside.
"General, which village should we attack first?"
"Longtoushan..." Cheng Ying uttered three words, and the two of them left the official post, followed by dozens of riders. Everyone rode towards the city gate.
The Suibu matter was finally settled yesterday, and Cheng Ying was no longer eager to take action against Sanzhai. He has three thousand elite soldiers at his disposal, and even though the Three Villages are in a good location.
But their Wu Jing Army was countless times stronger than the city guards of Danyang City. They were the best among the elite. It was still very simple to destroy three bandit villages.
The surrounding colleagues have made some achievements, and most of the bandits lingering in various places have been wiped out or surrendered.
Now, only the three Danyang bandits on his side are left. But what he wanted to destroy most were the bandits in Longtoushan. Because there was Su Qianmo among them.
"General, the gate of Longtou Village has been replaced by a stone wall. It is probably more difficult to capture than Weihu Mountain and Tianlang Mountain. Should we attack the other two villages first..."
Hearing this, Cheng Ying turned to look at Cheng Yi on horseback, his eyes cold.
Cheng Yi shrank his neck and stopped talking. Cheng Ying was a man who kept to himself and couldn't listen to other people's advice. If you talk too much, you may be scolded.
"Longtou Mountain is the weakest among the three villages. Do you think their small number of people, even if they build a stone wall, can stop the elite of Wu Jing's army? The entire Longtou Village has less than four hundred soldiers. Well, just them, how can they resist my army?"
Cheng Ying snorted coldly, his voice full of disdain. Ever since he came to Danyang City, he had never taken the three bandits seriously.
Otherwise, he would not be so arrogant that he did not ask the city guards to do anything before Wu Jingjun came. If the city guards really did something for him, he would still think that it was just a matter of time and again.
He even believed that once his army arrived, as long as he pushed forward, even the strongest Weihu Village could be easily captured. If the Suibu incident hadn't been delayed until now, he would have sent troops long ago.
"The general is right, the last general is short-sighted!" Cheng Yi replied quickly.
Following his voice, the team fell into silence, and everyone rushed to Longtou Village.
On the other side, Yunze and Su Qianmo received a report from Longtoushan's spies in the city. The Qianwu Jing army besieged in front of Longtoushan was already reorganizing its army, and some ladders and trebuchets for siege were also prepared.
Su Qianmo and Yunze rushed to Longtou Mountain as soon as possible. Although Su Qianmo and Yunze were relieved that the village was in the hands of Han Long and the others, they were faced with such a battle.
If they didn't go, they would still be somewhat worried.
The two sneaked out of Danyang City and rushed towards Longtou Mountain. When they arrived in front of Longtou Mountain, they saw nearly a thousand Wu Jing's troops lining up in the field at the foot of the mountain. Seems to be ready to attack the stronghold at any time,
Seeing that they didn't move, they were obviously waiting for Cheng Ying to come over. Similarly, at Weihu Mountain and Tianlang Mountain, a thousand Wu Jing troops each were also ready to attack the stronghold.
The bandit soldiers in the two villages looked very nervous. After all, they were facing the elite of the government, even though they each had nearly a thousand bandits. It also occupies an absolute position.
But I still feel unsure.
At the gate of Tianlang Village, a middle-aged leader looked at Wu Jingjun below with a solemn expression. Following him were several leaders of the village.
"Master, according to reports from spies, Cheng Ying has already gone to Longtou Village. They are planning to destroy Longtou Village first and then deal with us..." One of the leaders looked at the leader of Tianlang Village.
"Yes, with the strength of Longtou Village, I'm afraid the battle will not last long. By then, our Tianlang Village will be under greater pressure." The leader of Tianlang Village sighed.
"Master, I heard that Longtou Mountain has received a batch of new weapons, or maybe it can hold back Wu Jing's army..." Another leader asked from the side.
When the village leader heard this, a look of disdain appeared on his face.
"So what about the new weapons? Don't forget, they are only less than 400 people. They are facing a thousand elite troops of the Wu Jing Army. Even if we have the terrain to help us, it will be very difficult to block the attack of a thousand elite troops. "
"Everyone, it's better to prepare for war. As long as we hold on for a while, His Highness King Ming will find a way to transfer Cheng Ying back!"
The leader of Tianlang Village did not have any hope for the people of Longtou Village. His leader actually said that Longtou Village could be defended, which made him laugh.
In fact, he was not worried about Cheng Ying bringing Wu Jing's army to attack. With his management around the village, even if three thousand Wu Jing's army came to attack, they would never be able to capture Tianlang Village.
Now he only needs to drag Wu Jing's army for a period of time. King Ming's internal Ying in the court will take part in Cheng Ying's book. He only needs to charge him with improper command, losing the war, and wasting military expenses.
Cheng Ying will definitely be transferred back to the capital. At that time, who else will the court send? I'm afraid there will be another period of wrangling.
That way, you can give him enough time to develop.
Cheng Ying has been delayed for nearly a month because of the issue of the annual cloth. In the court, someone has already been impeaching him. However, Cheng Ying could temporarily block it with the matter of Suibu. But now, no more!
If the battle continues for a long time, the people of King Ming and King Kang will never give Cheng Ying another chance.
"What the village leader said is... it's just a pity for the Longtou Village. If they surrender, that's it. Maybe they can still have a way out, but who wants their village leader to have a grudge against Cheng Ying!"
"However, I'm afraid Cheng Ying can only use Longtoushan to gain some military exploits this time."
The people in Tianlang Village looked towards Longtoushan with pity, with a hint of contempt in their eyes. They also felt that Longtoushan was doomed!
As for Weihu Mountain, in the huge meeting hall, the leader of Weihu Village sat at the head of the table. After hearing the report from his subordinates, Cheng Ying went straight to Longtoushan, and he laughed wildly.
"Okay... okay... it's best to let them fight to the death. I don't know how long Longtoushan can hold on and how much of Cheng Ying's troops can be consumed. If we can consume more of Cheng Ying's troops, it will be of great benefit to us."
Although the leader of Weihu Village was very afraid of Longtou Village, he did not think that Longtou Village could survive under Wu Jingjun. At most, it can only cause some damage to Wu Jingjun.
Speaking of which, he lost nearly 400 people in Longtou Village last time, and he was also amazed at the combat power of Longtou Village. But he still felt that if he took all the troops in the stronghold and captured Longtou stronghold, it would not be a problem.
But, in that case, the loss will be huge. At this time, Cheng Ying came to suppress the bandits. Of course, it is impossible for him to spend all his wealth to destroy Longtou Village.
"Master, Longtou Village is doomed this time. It's a pity. If we can seize some of the new weapons in their village, maybe we can also develop some."
At this time, a leader of Weihu Village said with some pity.
"No rush! No rush, as long as the boy named Yunze is still in Danyang City, we can look for opportunities to catch him. Are we still worried about not being able to get those new weapons! If we give him to King Kang, the benefits to our brothers may be even greater. many……"
"What the village leader said is that after Cheng Ying leaves, we will go to Danyang City and catch that kid! We must catch him no matter the cost."
Several village leaders were talking loudly there, and it seemed that Longtou Village was about to be destroyed. As for Cheng Ying coming to attack their Weihu Village, he must have returned in despair.
These people even thought that as long as Cheng Ying left Danyang City, they would send good men down the mountain to bring Yunze up the mountain.
At this moment, someone hurried in from outside the door.
"Master of the village, wait for the scouts to report that Cheng Ying has arrived at the foot of Longtou Mountain and is ready to attack the village at any time!"
Upon hearing this, the leader of Weihu Village stood up. He looked a little excited.
"Send spies to sneak over again, and be sure to report back to me the latest battle report!" His eyes were full of expectation. He was looking forward to Longtou Mountain being destroyed, and even more looking forward to Longtou Mountain severely damaging Wu Jing's army.
Although he looked down upon the people in Longtou Village, he had to admire the new weapons in Longtoushan. You know, he lost nearly 400 troops for this.
In front of Longtou Village, Cheng Ying had already approached, looking at the towering city wall halfway up the mountain, his eyes shining brightly. He did not expect that Longtou Mountain could build such a city wall in such a short time.
You know, a city wall like this, which is nearly thirty feet long and one and a half feet high, would probably take half a year to complete even with hundreds of people.
However, even if Longtoushan built a city wall, trying to block his iron army would be a joke. Although the mountains on both sides are difficult to cross, if they attack from the front, as long as they rush to the city wall, the bandit soldiers above will only be defeated.
"Cheng Yi, send the order to attack the stronghold, and the first batch of three hundred people will be dispatched. The archers are ready, don't give the bandits a chance to push up the ladder."
He sat on the newly built Chinese Army War Supervision Platform and smiled coldly.
Cheng Yi quickly turned around and ordered that the first batch of three hundred people to attack the stronghold rushed up the mountain carrying four huge ladders.
At this time, in front of Longtou Village, the trees had long been burned down by Wu Jingjun's army. It was no longer possible to rely on the trees to block Wu Jingjun's attack.
Although the terrain was unfavorable to Wu Jing's army, with the archers as their backing, there was no need to worry about not being able to get close to the city wall. As long as the ladder is set up, the bandit soldiers on the city wall don't even have a chance to knock it down.
After all, this ladder is specially made, with its upper end and barbs. Once it is buckled on the city wall, if you want to push it down again, unless you cut off the ladder with all your strength, you can only watch the soldiers rush up the city wall.
Thousands of people came to attack Longtou Village, but Cheng Ying felt that there were too many troops.
As the 300 pioneer Wu Jing troops advanced, an archer behind him also advanced, ready to respond at any time.
On the wall of Longtou Village, Yunze and Su Qianmo had already sneaked in. Looking at the attacking enemies below, Su Qianmo looked a little solemn.
On the other hand, Han Long and the other three heads looked excited. They stared at Wu Jingjun who was slowly advancing and rubbed their hands excitedly.
"Brother Yun, we buried three mine points on the slope below. As you said, we left nodding fuses. Have you seen those three piles of straw! They are all covered with tung oil. One point will set you off!"
Han Long pointed to three places on the ramp below, then pointed to the ignition points piled up in three locations, and said to Yunze. The ignition point is on the side of the ramp, so there is no worry about it being destroyed.
Moreover, even if it is destroyed, as long as the haystack is still around, the dripping tung oil can still be easily ignited with a rocket.
This is what Yunze had told Han Long before. As long as Wu Jing's army showed signs of attacking the stronghold, they would immediately place minefields at night. Taking advantage of the night to arrange the decoration, the look is unaware and the ghost is unaware.
There were many fire mines buried on those three slopes. As long as the enemy gets close, they will definitely be blown away.
Yunze nodded to Han Long and looked at the nearly four hundred Wu Jingjun who were slowly approaching, with a look of pity on his face.
Cheng Ying did not have the entire army to press forward, so he could not be afraid of total annihilation at once. After the power of fire and thunder appeared, Cheng Ying was afraid that he would be frightened and stop attacking the stronghold.
"Brother Yun, do you want to light the fire thunder now!" Looking at Wu Jingjun getting closer and closer, Han Long looked at Yunze nervously. The rocket was ready and could be ignited at any time.
Yunze looked at Wu Jingjun below and then at the Wu Jingjun who was coming up. With a frown, he shook his head.
Others around him looked at Yunze with doubts in their eyes. With such a good opportunity, why not ignite the fire thunder? It can kill almost four hundred people at once, I'm afraid that's enough!
Su Qianmo's eyes became more confused.
Yunze looked at the people staring at him and smiled and said, "Lighting the fire thunder now can only kill four hundred enemy troops. If Cheng Ying is frightened and stops sending troops with all his strength, we will fall into passivity. Now that the war has begun , then the best way is to beat and cripple Cheng Ying once and for all, so that he will never dare to touch Longtou Village again."
"Put them under the city wall and let them feel that they can break the stronghold. As long as they see hope, they will continue to increase their troops. Wait until the last moment, and we will..."
As soon as Yunze finished speaking, the people around him suddenly brightened up and nodded quickly.
Han Long and the other three heads quickly mobilized their brothers. The Chuangshins took good positions and took out all kinds of arrows in their hands.
After a month of production, whether it is a spear or an arrow, it is more than enough to handle several such battles.
There are also many bamboo mines, which can definitely cause huge casualties to the enemy.
As the enemy approached the city wall, the soldiers of Wu Jing's army showed ridicule on their faces when they saw the people in Longtou Village on the city wall. His eyes were full of fighting spirit.
The ladder was also put up on the city wall in an instant. As soon as the four ladders were set up, everyone in Wu Jingjun felt relieved.
Cheng Ying below was also relieved, but he frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. The attack on the stronghold went really smoothly. They all attacked the front of the village, but the people in Longtou Village didn't even react at all.
He could obviously see many people standing on the city wall from a distance, but why no one resisted. Even just throwing a few huge rocks will do.
"General, I'm afraid Longtou Village is scared to death. I believe they will raise the white flag and surrender soon!" Cheng Yi on the side said with a hint of disdain in his voice when he saw this scene.
When he thought about it, he thought Longtou Village's reaction was that he was shocked.
"Hmph... Surrender, I'm here to kill chickens and respect monkeys, Longtou Village wants to surrender! I won't accept it, and Su Qianmo must die!" Cheng Ying snorted coldly, with a hint of contempt in his voice.
At this moment, soldiers from Wu Jing's army began to attack the stronghold. At the four ladders, several people began to climb up the ladders. Seeing this scene, everyone in Wu Jing's army felt that the attack on the stronghold was secure.
They have never seen such a stronghold that is easy to attack. They have already arrived at the stronghold, and the people on the stronghold don't seem to know how to react.
Just when they were proud and disdainful, a sudden change occurred on the city wall...
