The fierce horn sound suddenly blew up and resounded throughout Panlong Village, as if a huge rock smashed into the calm Panlong Lake, suddenly tearing the silence of the cold night to pieces.

A pile of bonfires and torches were lit, quickly illuminating Panlong Village.

Hu Dangzhou, Jiang Ang and others were well-trained, wearing armor quickly and walked out of the camp neatly and orderly to complete the team, but the number of these people was limited.

More people in the village were recruited from refugees. They either ate food for themselves and their families, or were trapped. In the past five or six months, they had little food and clothing, holding wooden shields and bamboo spears, and mostly gathered together with their clan neighbors. They followed Hu Jiang and others' direct troops roaring around the lake, robbing the countryside, and lived with their pale and thin and skinny families. After all, they were still a mob.

Even though Hu Jiang and others wanted to train these people, they had no soldiers, armor, food and grass, and there were not so many military officials who were familiar with the arrangement of troops and formations. Even themselves were half-baked.

Jingbei had no intention of clearing Qianfanpu for Chushan, and Han Gui, Fan Zongqi, Xu Ling and others also built Nancai City in the early stage, next to Xiaoheling, and did not rush to expand eastward. Hu Jiang and others retreated to Panlong Village, and had never fought any tough battles.

At this time, when the horns were heard resounding in Panlong Village, most of the people looked at the head in a daze, not knowing what had happened. Finally, amid the shouts of military officials and generals, they walked out of the whole team with their swords and shields.

However, except for more than 30,000 young and strong, two or three times the old, weak, women and children were crowded and mixed in Panlong Village. At this time, it was a mess and chaotic...

"Fuck! Only two or three thousand people are coming. Look how scared you dogs and mothers are!" Jiang Ang stood on the wall of the village, and saw the faces on the left and right people under the light of fire. He spat fiercely and cursed rudely, as if only in this way could the inexplicable sense of pressure in his chest be relieved.

Listening to Jiang Ang’s curse, others said nothing:

Half a year ago, two or three thousand of them were in front of Shuangliu Village, and they were killed without resistance by fifty or sixty Chushan troops like chopping melons and vegetables. How could such heart-wrenching memories be easily erased from their hearts?

If the officers and soldiers of Jingbei had not organized a large-scale attack on Qianfanpu until now, if Chu Shan's men in Nancai had not been dedicated to building Nancai City during this period, they would have been selected next to the site of Nancai City, and everyone would have wanted to withdraw from Qianfanpu.

Now the Chushan Army has two or three thousand troops, and they are coming from the site of Nancai City at night. Who dares to pat their chests and say that they can resist it? Although there are more than 30,000 young and strong people behind them.

"The Chushan Army is strong, but it is not a god-general of heavenly soldiers," Tian Rusheng Qiang suppressed his inner shock and said with a smile, "This is the twelfth month of winter. Before dividing the terrain to block the Yingshui, Rushui and other rivers that had previously divided the terrain and blocked the Chihu Iron Cavalry to the south, all of which were frozen. Chushan must prevent the Chihu cavalry stationed in the west of Jingxi, Heluo's Chihu cavalry went south, and their elite troops were restrained in Xiangcheng, Zhaoling, Queshan, Ruzhou and other places. In addition, Chushan specializes in the construction of the military farms. The military horses that seem to be large in scale, but they will not be stronger than the officers and soldiers between Jinghu. What are you afraid of?"

"If Chu Shan was not sure, how could he easily attack him at night?" Tian Rusheng couldn't comfort someone in a few words. Someone immediately questioned him, and no one complained about this person shaking the morale of the army.

Hu Dangzhou also looked silent.

"Xu Huai is good at using dangerous tricks, but in fact it is more of a forced situation," said Tian Rusheng. "Think about it, if Chu Shan has the absolute strength to capture Panlong Village, why should he attack on the night of the wedding? This is not just a ridicule, is it not a martial arts victory?"

"What is the best thing that is not a martial arts? It is better to save some effort to kill the enemy if you talk about those that are useful or useless! I don't believe that even our 30,000 troops can't defend the village!" Jiang Ang was impatient to listen to Tian Rusheng's boastful talks and urged the generals to deploy quickly instead of wasting time.

Although they have a simple condition in Qianbanpu, they have put a lot of effort into defense in the past three or four months, and they have not done anything.

In addition to using a wall to enclose five fishing villages near Panlong Lake, Panlong Village formed a water city covering an area of ​​six or seven miles, and there were four or five sentry villages on the periphery, basically built on the riverside alleys and depressions.

These small villages are five or six miles away from Panlong Dazhai, and are very small in size. At this time, firelights are rising one after another, and they look like they have been attacked by the vanguard of Chushan.

Although they were more familiar with the roads, and there were many intertwined rivers and alleys between the main village and these sentry villages, it was dark and there was chaos in the village, and no one thought of leading his troops to reinforce these sentry villages.

Hu Dangzhou was just thinking about defending Panlong Village at this time, the most important thing was.

In addition to sending people to the villages on the south side of Qianfanpu for help, he only transferred boats from Shuitu to the village and gathered in Panlong Lake, waiting for the sky. After dawn, he saw if he had the chance to go from the river alley, river bank, and attack the side of Chushan...

A trace of fish belly is revealed in the sky, and the world is no longer invisible to see the five fingers, as if the sky opens an opening, and the light comes in, outlining the outline of the sparse forest stream in the distance—

Fan Zongqi held the sword at his waist with his hands. A small thief camp was more than a hundred steps behind him. At this time, he was trapped in a sea of ​​burning fire, illuminating the left and right as bright as day.

In front of Fan Zongqi, bridge crafts with long wooden boards or specially closed box girders on the wheels were pushed down the river channel.

The soldiers who crossed the river first took ropes to pull the bridge cart on the shallows on both sides of the river lane.

In the wider river lanes, two or three bridge-mounted vehicles are connected to the end and placed across the river surface. Then, on both sides of the bridge-mounted vehicles, long wooden piles are quickly driven into the riverbed for fixing.

Panlong Village faces water on three sides. Even if it is connected to land on the north side, it is still a river bank and river alleys crisscross.

Xu Huai used the wedding as a cover to launch a night attack on Panlong Village, not a hope to take advantage of the enemy's unawareness, but more so he took advantage of the enemy's slackness to capture the outer sentry village first, open up the passage to Panlong Village, and launch a strong attack on Panlong Village before large groups of enemy aids rushed from elsewhere.

If the enemy was vigilant enough in advance and transferred hundreds or even thousands of pirate ships into the crisscrossing river lanes north of Panlong Village for defensive interception, the Chushan Army would not know how much time it would take to push the main attacking troops and necessary siege equipment to the front of Panlong Village.

Even if you can successfully take Panlong Village in the end, too much time is wasted, or the casualties exceed a certain limit, it cannot be called Shengjie.

At this time, the bridge carts built in advance were pushed into the river alleys, not only to open up more passages so that the people and equipment could bypass the many obstacles set up by the bandit army in the north of Panlong Village, and to advance to Panlong Village more quickly and conveniently, but also to cut off these river alleys to prevent the pirate ships from circling from Panlong Lake to raid the flanks of the main attacking troops.

The vanguard troops steadily advanced towards Panlongzhai, and on the flanks, one after another, a series of fine iron shields gathered in a car array at both ends of these fast-formed floating bridges; and at this moment, a larger scale of people gathered in a large number of siege equipment, and headed from the villages east of Nancai City and headed towards Panlongzhai.

Although Nan Caichang had very limited troops and was mainly recruited by young and strong men from Hanchuan and other places, tens of thousands of workers and supplies drawn from Huaiyuan, Xinyang and other places were previously responsible for the construction of Nan Caicheng and Zhuzhai. At this time, emergency mobilization was carried out overnight to ensure that there would be no shortage of troops in the attack on Panlong Village.

In addition, Wang Fan also used the excuse to ensure that the wedding was not disturbed by the thieves, so he drew 3,000 troops from Huangpi and other places and stationed east of Xiaoheling.

Although Kong Changyu and others were unwilling to send troops to clear out the bandits that were entrenched in Qianfanpu, Wang Fan transferred some troops to ensure that Xu Huai and Wang Fan's daughter's marriage was not disturbed, and Kong Changyu and others had to give this face.

However, all this, the Dongjing thief army entrenched in Longzhai did not arouse vigilance...

…………

…………

That night, the Chushan Army raided the sai camp outside Panlong Lake, set up floating bridges, cut off the river lanes, and vanguard soldiers entered the village and formed formations in front of Longzhai, blocking the passage for the bandits to leave the village to counterattack. After the early morning, more large-scale troops surrounded the siege equipment and advanced towards Panlongzhai.

The Dongjing thief army did not dare to go out of the camp to fight with the elite Chushan army, which provided convenience for the rapid deployment of siege equipment.

After the formation of the Jingti Shield Vehicle, thirty-six Western Region stone crossbows were assembled in the afternoon.

Over the years, facing the fierce enemy invading the south, Chushan has mainly been passively defended, occasionally attacking cities and villages, and is mainly raiding and attacking. He has no chance to fight a siege.

Panlongzhai not only threatens Hanchuan, Huangpi and other places, but also restricts the expansion of Nancai East.

It would be impossible for Xu Huai to pull out Panlong Village to delay the second flood season by pulling out Panlong Village. It was something that Xu Huai had made up his mind early in the morning.

In the past three or four months, Han Gui, Fan Zongqi, Xu Ling and Xu Sheng have presided over the overseas Chinese government's Nancai County. They seem to be mainly focused on the reclamation of the bench, but they have never given up actively preparing to clear out the thief army that has not been entrenched in Qianbanpu.

In addition to thoroughly understanding the terrain near Qianbanpu, many eyeliners were directly placed into the strongholds of the bandit army such as Panlongzhai and organized the training of strong soldiers, Chu Shan also asked for marriage, sent a recruitment and this large-scale wedding reception, transported some elite troops and a batch of newly built war equipment to Nancai, making final preparations for the strong attack on Panlongzhai.
