There were more than 500 people in the Taniguchi camp, most of whom were engineers who dredged the river, consisting of sailors who drove boats, fishermen with good water skills, stonemasons and carpenters, and people in charge of logistics and miscellaneous items, with a total of about 400 people, and more than 100 people who were responsible for transporting grain and grass.

Pan Xiaogu divided these people into several teams, and each team arranged the original foreman to be the person in charge. Among them, the people with good eyesight took turns to be in charge of guarding the guard, and the brave and strong ones were used as hand-to-hand combat teams, and they were uniformly distributed with heavy weapons such as rakes and pickaxes, and were the main force of defense. There were more than thirty crossbows in the camp, and the shooters were grouped together individually, not dispersed over the entire line of defense, as before.

In addition, Pan Xiaogu also arranged for some people to be responsible for lighting the fire, preparing a huge campfire pit and many long-handled torches in the middle of the camp, and this team of people took care of the fire and torches. The fish-man is afraid of light, fire is an important weapon, the gunpowder in the camp is basically used up, and the remaining bit is all gathered by Pan Xiaogu, ready to be used at a critical time.

Pan Xiaogu also specially arranged for people to boil water for cooking, and the attacks of the fishmen often lasted all night, and everyone's physical strength must be guaranteed. He also arranged for special medical rescue personnel, and there were exactly two Langzhong in the camp, and Pan Xiaogu put them in charge of ambulating the wounded, and sent more than a dozen people to assist the two.

The main force against the fishmen is still the twenty guards brought by Pan Xiaogu, these people are well-equipped, well-trained, experienced in actual combat, and they are all inheritors, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to these untrained people.

The qi practitioners in the camp were divided into different squads according to the spells they used, those who knew [Water Purification Spell] and [Nourishment Spell] were sent to the medical team to treat the wounded, and those who knew [Vajra Curse] and [Flying Fire Curse] were mixed with the guards to fight with them, and the largest number of Qi practitioners who could only [Longtu Curse] were sent to reinforce the wall, and when their true qi was almost consumed, they went to stay with the logistics team.

Pan Xiaogu handed over the logistics and medical care and the people who lit the fire to Zhao Dajiang for unified command, and he himself was responsible for commanding the hand-to-hand combat team, the bow and crossbow team, the personal guards, and the vigilant sentinels, because they were all sentry on the lookout of the camp and did not need to go out, so no special person was arranged, but his captain was just asked to go to each guard every once in a while to check on it to prevent anyone from being lazy.

After finishing all the work, the sky had already darkened, and the logistics team had already prepared dinner, and Pan Xiaogu asked the people of each team to eat in groups to ensure that someone was on guard at all times.

The wall of the camp is arc-shaped, because the fish-man attacks from the south of the camp every time, so the highest and thickest wall in this direction is about three meters high, and the east and west sides are much worse, and there are only fences reinforced with logs in many places, but the fish-man does not seem to have the idea of attacking in another direction, the north of the camp is a hill, and the camp is built under a low cliff, and the camp was chosen to build the camp here because this place is suitable for sheltering from the wind, and there is a spring under the cliff, so it is more convenient to get water, Now it's a lot of trouble.

After everyone took turns to have dinner, the fish-people appeared one after another.

The first to spot the fishman was the sentry at the south gate of the camp, and after receiving the alarm, Pan Xiaogu immediately rushed over with his personal guards.

The south gate has long been blocked by the wall, Pan Xiaogu led people to the wall, with the help of the faint light of the torches on the wall, he saw three black shadows coming from the direction of the river, and after a while, behind the three black shadows, four new black shadows appeared, a total of seven fishmen.

According to Zhao Dajiang, the number of fishmen attacking the camp every night is not fixed, only one was found on the first day, and then more and more, at most, seven fishmen appeared at a time the night before, and about three or five at other times.

These fish-men were hovering more than a hundred meters away from the wall, a distance that could already allow Pan Xiaogu to see the silhouette of the fish-man clearly.

These fish-men stand on their feet upright, hunched forward with their chests folded, and their two forearms hanging down in front of them.

Pan Xiaogu visually observed that after these fishmen stood upright, their height should be more than 1.9 meters, but because of their standing posture, the actual height was about 1.7 to 1.8 meters.

"What are they waiting for?" After these fishmen appeared, they had been wandering outside and did not attack, so Pan Xiaogu turned his head and asked the captain of the hand-to-hand combat team standing beside him.

"I don't know much about the little ones, the fish-people are like this every time, standing outside and waiting for a while before attacking."

Pan Xiaogu frowned, and many possibilities came to mind in a row.

"Pass the order down and keep everyone quiet!"

As the order was delivered, the noise caused by the appearance of the fish-men subsided, and soon the entire camp fell silent.

As soon as the camp fell silent, there was movement on the fish-man's side, and the fish-man began to whisper in a strange voice that seemed to be some kind of language.

After a brief exchange, the seven fishmen, led by one of the tallest fishmen, rushed to the wall at a speed that was very disproportionate to their short legs, and in the blink of an eye they came to the base of the wall, and began to dig the wall with their sharp claws, without even looking at the people on the wall.

"Sure enough! These fishmen have bad eyes, and they can judge whether the people in the camp are resting by their voices! Pan Xiaogu stood on the wall and saw all this, and made a judgment in his heart.

"Let the hand-to-hand combat team prepare, as practiced during the day, in pairs, first scraping the scales with a rake and then attacking the areas without the scales with a pickaxe." Pan Xiaogu quietly gave an order to the hand-to-hand combat captain beside him, and then went with the captain alone to give orders to the hand-to-hand combat team.

There were a total of 200 people in the hand-to-hand combat team, but due to the limitations of the space on the top of the wall and the range of weapon attacks, Pan Xiaogu only let about 30 people come to the top of the wall, and an average of four or five people were arranged above the heads of each fishman, so that they could prepare and attack together at the command.

These people have ropes tied around their waists, and the other end is dragged in the hands of those who have not come up, so that they are not afraid of falling out of the wall when their center of gravity is unstable when attacking.

Pan Xiaogu saw that everyone was almost ready, and immediately ordered

"Attack!"

Niu Dazhuang happened to be next to Pan Xiaogu, and when he heard Pan Xiaogu's order, he immediately waved a rake and slapped it on the back of the fishman below, with the fishman's rough skin and thick meat, he didn't care about the slap at all, but Dazhuang's next move made the fishman unbearable.

After the head of the rake slapped firmly on the back of the fishman, Da Zhuang skillfully dragged it back, as if he was cleaning the straw stick in his own field, and the inverted teeth on the rake were dragged against the back of the fishman, making a harsh and ugly scraping sound, as if someone was scraping the blackboard with iron nails.

Because it was scraped against the direction of the fish, when the rake was retracted, there were many scales covered with mucus and blood on the inverted teeth.

The scaled fish-man trembled in pain, but before it could retreat, a sharpened pickaxe slammed into the freshly scraped wound, and the sharp pickaxe pierced deep into the muscles of the fish-man's back.

Oh~

A series of sharp screams came from the fish's mouth!
