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... Is the general ready to take action!?"

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 looked grim and stood up.

Cheng Yi followed him outside.

"General, which village should we attack first?"

"Longtou Mountain..." Cheng Ying uttered three words, and the two of them left the official post, followed by dozens of riders. They rode towards the city gate.

The Sui Bu matter was finally settled yesterday, and Cheng Ying was no longer eager to take action against Sanzhai. He had three thousand elite soldiers, and even though Sanzhai was in a good location.

But their Wu Jing Army is countless times stronger than the city guards of Danyang City. They are the best among the elite. It is still very simple to destroy three bandit villages.

The colleagues in the surrounding areas have already made great 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 wants to destroy the most is the bandits in Longtoushan. Because among them is Su Qianmo.

"General, the gate of Longtou Village has been replaced by a stone wall. It will be more difficult to capture than Weihu Mountain and Tianlang Mountain. Should we attack the other two villages first..."

Upon 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 could not listen to other people's advice. If he spoke too much, he might 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, how can they stand against 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 before Wu Jingjun came, he did not ask the city guards to do anything. If the city guards really did something for him, he would still think that it was a mistake.

He further believed that as soon as his army arrived, he could easily capture even the strongest Weihu Village by pushing forward. If the Suibu incident hadn't been delayed until now, he would have sent out 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 Longtou Mountain 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. They seemed to be ready to attack the stronghold at any time.

Seeing that they were motionless, 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 seemed very nervous. After all, they were facing the elite of the government. Even though they each had nearly a thousand bandit soldiers, they still occupied 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 of the village, 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 am afraid that 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 only have 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 Prince 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 troops 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 adviser in the court will take part in Cheng Ying's book, and he only needs to be charged with improper command, failure of the war, and consumption of 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 Suibu incident. In the court, someone has already been impeaching him. However, Cheng Ying can use the Suibu incident to block it for the time being. But now, it can't be done!

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... it's just a pity for the Longtou Village. If they surrender, that's all. 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 here in Tianlang Village looked towards Longtou Mountain with pity, with a trace of contempt flashing in their eyes. They also felt that Longtou Mountain was doomed!

As for Weihu Mountain, in the huge meeting hall, the leader of Weihu Village sat at the head of the table. When he heard 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 Longtou Mountain can hold on and how many 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 is very afraid of Longtou Village, he does not think that Longtou Village can 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 amazed at the combat power of Longtou Village. But he still felt that if he put all the troops in the village and captured Longtou Village, it would not be a problem.

However, in that case, the losses would be huge. It was just when Cheng Ying came to suppress the bandits. Of course, it was impossible for him to spend all his money to destroy Longtou Village.

"Master, Longtou Village is in doom 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 hurry! No rush, as long as the boy named Yunze is still in Danyang City, we look for opportunities to catch him, and we are 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!"

After hearing this, the leader of Weihu Village stood up and 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 Longtou Mountain. You must know that 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, it would be a joke to try to block his iron army. 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, give the order to attack the stronghold. The first batch of 300 people will be sent out. 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 300 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 Jing's army. It was no longer possible to rely on the trees to block Wu Jing'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 being unable to get close to the city wall. As long as a ladder was set up, the bandits on the wall would not even have a chance to knock it down.

After all, this ladder is specially made, with its upper end and barbs. Once it is fastened to 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's 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, staring at Wu Jingjun who was slowly advancing, and rubbed their hands excitedly.

"Brother Yun, we have buried three mine points on the slope below. As you said, we have left nodding fuses. Have you seen those three piles of straw? They are all covered with tung oil. Just one click will set you off!"

Han Long pointed at three places on the ramp below, and then pointed at the ignition points stacked at three locations, and said to Yunze. The ignition points were on the side of the ramp, so he was not worried about them 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 explained to Han Long before. As long as Wu Jing's army showed signs of attacking the stronghold, they would immediately place minefields at night. They would do so under the cover of night, without even realizing it.

There are 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 annihilation at once. When the power of fire and thunder appeared, Cheng Ying was afraid that Cheng Ying 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.

The other people around looked at Yunze with doubts. With such a good opportunity, why not light the fire thunder? It can kill almost four hundred people at once, I'm afraid it is enough!

Su Qianmo's eyes became more confused.

Yunze looked at the people staring at him and smiled and said, "If you light the fire thunder now, you 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,
To be continued...
