Chongde County has only two city gates. The terrain outside the East City Gate is wide and the city walls are not tall, which is likely to be the focus of the Japanese pirates' attack.

There is a small hill outside the west city gate, which is not suitable for the expansion of troops. Moreover, this section of the city wall has been reinforced and raised more than the previous year, so Lu Bin and others arranged most of the troops at the east city gate, and only a small part of the troops were left here.

Qian Yuan did not refute anything, but he made some arrangements carefully.

Seeing the more than a hundred people digging a gap not far from the Xicheng Gate, Qian Yuan thought about it in his mind and called Captain Liu, "Don't have to be too deep, but it should be a little wider. The long wooden board that was removed was placed on it, so that people could try to walk on it and not fall down."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, Mr. Qian." Captain Liu should have looked back in his mouth.

"Haha, Brother Xiang Shi, I'm looking for you if you have something to do." Qian Yuan smiled and pulled Xiang Dushou's sleeve to walk to the side. It was outside the wall of the Xiang family garden.

After a while of whispering, Xiang Dushou hesitated for a while and could only nod his head, while the old man next to him frowned.

"No problem, don't let Mr. Xiang cause trouble."

"Don't worry, I'll cover it with me."

Qian Yuan had no good feelings for Xiang Yuanbian. This was a good thing that cost money and life. If it weren't for the lies that were used to baptize the city, he would never pay money until now. However, although Xiang Dushou was a little immature in dealing with people, he was reasonable.

"What's the use of digging a ditch?" the old man suddenly interrupted and asked, "If the city is broken, can this ditch stop the Japanese pirates?"

I thought the old man looked familiar before, and Qian Yuan suddenly remembered, "Oh, old man, I left with a gun the day before yesterday, and shouted several times and ignored me."

The old man looked stern, looking like he was not easy to talk to, "The houses near the Dongchengmen have been demolished, why not demolish them here?"

Looking at Xiang Dushou who was dismissed, the old man emphasized, "Once the Japanese pirates break through the city wall or climb into the city, use the houses near the city gate as a base, and the support will be continuously sourced, not to mention that the gate of the West City is so narrow..."

Qian Yuan had a good temper and was about to explain, but suddenly he saw Yang Wen running towards him from the corner of his eyes.

"Young master, the Japanese pirates are here!"

"How many people?" Qian Yuan licked his dry lips and walked quickly towards the east city gate. In the past two days, there were no traces of Japanese pirates outside the city. There were three shocks in the city a day. Yang Wen suddenly came to report the news, and naturally a large number of Japanese pirates attacked.

"About seven or eight miles away, Brother Wang went out of the city to investigate, and there were about a thousand people, but there was no sign." Yang Wen explained as he walked.

After a few words, Xiang Dushou arrived at the gate of Dongcheng. He struggled to catch up, but he had been thrown away long ago. However, the old man followed with the hem of the Confucian shirt in his arms.

Wang Yi and Li Liangqin who came up with each other looked solemn.

"Young master, I'm afraid I'll encounter a tough guy. I have armor and horses. Most of them are armed and armed with weapons, many bows and arrows, and I also saw Japanese people."

Qian Yuan paused and turned his head to look at Li Liangqin.

"It's not fake." Li Liangqin's eyes turned red, "It's them..."

"That Japanese pirates in Pinghu County?" Qian Yuan was stunned.

The Japanese pirates ambushed Yu Dayou and won the victory. Why did they go outside Chongde County if they don’t plunder the results of the victory?

Qian Yuan never thought there was any coincidence in this world. Now there are Japanese pirates in Jiaxing Prefecture. Yu Dayou is in the city, and the other party’s most elite Japanese pirates are outside the city. How could it be so coincidental?

It must be 80% coming to pursue Yu Dayou!

Qian Yuan felt a little upset. In that battle in Jiading, they all fought against ordinary Japanese pirates. You must know that there are ronin among the Japanese pirates outside the city now. It was a group of murder machines, and Yu Dayou couldn't hold on!

Can Chongde County really be defended?

...

In a small village eight miles away from Chongde County.

The Japanese pirates do not have the tradition of setting up camps. They live on boats at sea and naturally will not do it themselves on land. Anyway, they are here to rob, so they simply rob the house and live there.

However, the village is a little small, with a large number of bandits sitting on the ground, with chaos everywhere and noises heard from time to time.

A fat chicken suddenly broke free, flapped its wings and ran toward a big locust tree. It was about to fly up, and one hand suddenly grabbed the chicken's neck tightly.

There was only a faint creaking sound, and the poor fat chicken turned her eyes and snorted.

"Get out, I'm back!" The big-school and round-waisted bandit shook the fat chicken in their hands, picked up the knife in their other hand, and shouted at the boy who came to ask for it: "Don't get out yet, do you want to try grandpa's knife!"

The bandits around the big locust tree looked at the boy who was leaving with a thunderous voice and laughter.

"Good thing, Chen Mazi, you really have a good idea of ​​grabbing things, and your family won't let it go!"

"That knife was stolen by Chen Mazi from Wang Crab."

Chen Mazi put down the long knife and threw the fat chicken to his companion, "Come on it and bring it to grandpa. Don't look at it, you'll be given a chicken ass at that time!"

Although I got a lot of money when I went ashore to rob, I was also tired. The most important thing was that I didn’t eat well. After finally seeing a fat chicken, my accomplices didn’t agree, and they blurted out the insults.

Chen Mazi was not angry, but was a little proud.

At the door of the house not far away, a middle-aged man was silently watching the crowd making noise. Although his skin was as dark as most Japanese pirates, the long gown, straight backbone, and three long beards that drifted in the wind all showed that he was a scholar.

The middle-aged man sighed softly. The big locust tree was bustling around it, but he knew that more than 30 people who had not escaped in the village were killed, and their bodies were buried on the left side of the big locust tree, including three children who could not walk.

"Mr. Fang." Xu Hai, wearing soft armor, appeared at the door, looked at him with a smile and scolded: "These guys... wait until the two chicken legs are brought in to me, but they don't even have the appetite to eat if they didn't see Mr. Fang!"

He quickly changed his expression to make himself a little proud, but with a hint of caution, Mr. Fang turned around and smiled gently, "You are polite, General."

"What you want, what you want is just two chicken legs, and you are afraid of being wronged by your husband." Xu Hai laughed and hugged Mr. Fang's shoulder and walked in. "If it weren't for your plan, how could the battle be successful this time!"

"That's the general's mighty power, and Yu Dayou is just a clown who jumps on the rock, not worth mentioning."

"Yu Dayou is very famous at sea, and everyone regards him as a big insect, so it is not as what the teacher said."

"Then Fang can only say that the general is good at identifying and employing people, so he has such a situation."

"Hahahaha, well said, what's the name... Uncle Liu met that person..."

"Liu Bei met Kong Ming like a fish in water?"

"Yes, yes!" Xu Hai pressed Mr. Fang on the table, poured two cups of tea in person, and laughed: "Mr. I told me not to go to Songjiang to make a fortune, but fortunately I obeyed, otherwise..."

"Do you know?" Xu Hai chuckled in a low voice: "Chen Dong could not attack Yuhang, so he turned around and attacked Tongxiang County. It is said that many died..."

"Congratulations to the general." Mr. Fang smiled and bowed, "After swallowing Chen Dong, no one can compete with the general."

"Hahaha!" Xu Hai nodded proudly, but turned to sigh: "It's a pity that Chongde County failed!"

"Why do you want to attack Chongde County?" Mr. Fang said in confusion: "Even if you don't want to be in Jiaxing Prefecture, you can attack Suzhou to the north, Deqing to the west, and Wukang."

Xu Hai's face turned gloomy. He had never forgotten the humiliation that he was tied into an alley like a dog and was whipped casually.

Xu Hai has never read any books, but he likes to listen to storytelling in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin". His philosophy is that he will repay all grudges and repay all kindness.

I had already made some preparations, but I didn't expect that I couldn't succeed!
Chapter completed!
