Chapter Ninety-Three: The Mastermind

There are only two city gates in Chongde County, and the east city gate is open outside, and the city walls are not very tall, which is likely to be the focus of the Japanese attack.

There is a small hill outside the west city gate, which is not suitable for the deployment of troops, and this section of the city wall has been strengthened and heightened the year before, so Lu Bin and others have deployed most of their troops at the east city gate, and only a small part of the troops are left here.

Qian Yuan didn't refute anything, but he cautiously made some arrangements.

Silently watching the more than 100 people dig a chasm not far from the West City Gate, Qian Yuan thought in his heart and called Liu Zhutou, "It doesn't need to be too deep, but it should be a little wider, and the long wooden planks that have been removed are put on it, so that people can try to walk on it and not fall down." ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry." Liu Zhutou should be in his mouth, and he glanced back from the corner of his eye.

"Haha, Brother Xiang, I just happened to be looking for you." Qian Yuan smiled and grabbed Xiang Dushou's sleeve and walked to the side, which was outside the wall of the Xiang family's garden.

After a burst of whispering, Xiang Dushou hesitated for a while and could only nod, while the old man on the side frowned when he heard it.

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

"Don't worry, it's on me."

Qian Yuan doesn't have a good impression of Xiang Yuanbian, this is a goods who wants money and doesn't want to die, if it weren't for the lie to wash the city as a threat, he would not give out the money until now, but although Xiang Dushou is a little immature, he is a reasonable person.

"What's the use of digging a ditch?" The old man suddenly interjected and asked, "If the city is broken, can this ditch stop the widows?" ”

I felt that this old man was familiar before, but Qian Yuan suddenly remembered, "Hey, old man, the day before yesterday he dragged the gun and left, and he didn't pay attention to me after shouting several times." ”

The old man looked like he couldn't speak with a straight face, "The houses near the East City Gate have been demolished, why not demolish them here?" ”

Looking at Xiang Dushou, who was unimpressed, the old man said in an accentuated tone: "Once the Japanese invaders break through the city or climb into the city from the city wall, and use the houses near the city gate as a stronghold, the backup will be endless, not to mention that the west city gate is so narrow......"

Qian Yuan was good-tempered, and he was about to explain with a smile, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yang Wen rushing towards him.

"Young Master, the Wokou is here!"

"How many?" Qian Yuan licked his dry lips and walked quickly towards the east city gate, there has been no trace of the Japanese outside the city in the past two days, and the city was shocked three times a day, Yang Wen suddenly came to report the news, naturally a large number of Japanese invaders.

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

After a few words, he arrived at the gate of Dongcheng, Xiang Dushou tried his best to catch up but was already far away, but the old man followed with a brisk walk with the hem of his Confucian shirt.

Wang Yi and Li Liangqin, who came up, both had solemn faces.

"Young master, I'm afraid I've run into hard stubble, there are armor and horses, most of them are armed with weapons, a lot of bows and arrows, and I have also seen Japanese people."

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

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

"The pirates in Pinghu County?" Qian Yuan was stunned.

That group of Japanese robbers ambushed Yu Dayou and won a big victory, what did he do when he didn't loot the results of the victory and ran outside Chongde County at this time?

Qian Yuan never thought that there was any coincidence in this world, now there are Japanese robbers everywhere in Jiaxing Mansion, Yu Dayou is in the city, and the most elite group of Japanese robbers on the other side is outside the city, where can it be so coincidental!?

Yes, eighty percent are here to chase Yu Dayou!

Qian Yuan was a little drumming in his heart, the battle in Jiading was against ordinary widows, you must know that there are ronins among the widows outside the city now, it is a group of killing machines, and Yu Dayou didn't hold it!

Can Chongde County really hold on?

……

In a small village eight miles away from Chongde County.

There is no tradition of camping, they live on a boat at sea, and naturally they will not do it themselves on land, so they come to rob anyway, so they simply rob the house.

However, this village is a bit small, and a large number of thieves sit on the ground, and chickens and dogs can be seen everywhere, and the noise can be heard from time to time.

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

Hearing a faint creak, the poor fat chicken's eyes rolled and swallowed.

"Get out, it's time for Lao Tzu!" The thief with a big waist shook the fat chicken in his hand, picked up the knife in his other hand, and shouted at the boy who came to beg for it: "Don't get out yet, do you want to taste grandpa's knife!" ”

The thieves around the big locust tree looked at the kid who was leaving, and there was a cheer and laughter.

"Good job, Chen Mazi, you really have a hand at grabbing things, and your family won't let it go!"

"That knife was snatched by Chen Mazi from the king crab."

Chen Mazi put down the long knife and threw the fat chicken to his companion, "Serve it to grandpa when it's cooked, don't look at it, when the time comes, I'll give you a chicken butt!" ”

Don't look at the harvest of this ashore robbery, but it is also tired, the most important thing is that the food is not good, and it is not easy to see a fat chicken, where did the accomplices agree, and blurted out a burst of insults.

Chen Mazi was not annoyed, but a little proud.

Not far from the gate of the house, a middle-aged man was silently watching the noisy crowd, although he had a dark complexion like most of the widows, but the long shirt on this person, the straight back, and the three long beards fluttering in the wind all showed that he was a scholar.

The middle-aged man sighed softly, and there was a lot of excitement around the big locust tree, but he knew that more than thirty people in the village who had not fled had been killed, and their bodies were buried on the left side of the big locust tree, among which there were three young children who could not walk.

"Mr. Fang." Xu Hai, who was wearing soft armor, appeared at the door, looked at it and scolded with a smile: "These guys...... Wait for the two chicken legs to be brought in by Lao Tzu, I didn't see that Mr. Fang had no appetite to eat! ”

Quickly changed his expression, making himself a little proud, but with a hint of caution, Mr. Fang turned around and smiled gently, "The general is polite." ”

"I want it, I want it, it's just two chicken legs, I'm afraid of wronging Mr." Xu Hai laughed and hugged Mr. Fang's shoulders and walked in, "If it weren't for Mr. Fang's plan, where would I be able to succeed in this battle!" ”

"That's the general's majesty, Yu Dayou is just a clown who jumps off the beam, it's not worth mentioning."

"Yu Dayou has a great reputation at sea, and everyone regards him as a big worm, where is it like Mr. said."

"That Fang can only say that it is the general who is good at recognizing and employing people, so there is such a situation."

"Hahahaha, that's good, what's this called...... Uncle Liu Huang met whoever ......"

"Liu Bei meets Kong Ming, like a fish in water?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Hai pressed Mr. Fang on the table, poured two cups of tea himself, and said with a smile: "Mr. asked me not to go to Songjiang to make a fortune before, but fortunately I obeyed, otherwise I would ......"

"You know what?" Xu Hai snickered in a low voice: "Chen Dong's fight against Yuhang couldn't be captured, so he turned around to attack Tongxiang County, and it is said that he died a lot......"

"Congratulations to the general." Mr. Fang smiled and arched his hand, "After swallowing Chen Dong, Wang Zhi will no longer be able to compete with the general." ”

"Hahaha!" Xu Hai nodded proudly, but then sighed: "It's a pity that Chongde County didn't succeed!" ”

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

Xu Hai's face darkened, he had never forgotten the humiliation of being tied up like a dog in the alley and whipped at will.

Xu Hai has never read any books, but he likes to listen to the commentaries of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", and his philosophy is that revenge must be avenged, and kindness must be repaid.

Ben had already made some preparations, but I didn't expect to succeed!

When he thought of the gray-haired old man, Xu Hai couldn't wait to grit his teeth, but when he thought of the pair of sisters, Xu Hai's heart turned into a puddle of water.
