After repelling the attack of the pirates, Long Chen kept standing on the city wall, observing the movements of the pirates.
The strange thing is that the pirates have no intention of attacking again.
"Old Wu, do you think it's strange that they seem to be heading south?"
Long Chen saw the pirate team moving south.
Wu Chuchu came over and said, "Could it be that they want to attack An County?"
An County is a county under the jurisdiction of Qianjiang County, located in the southeast.
Zhang Qian asked: "Didn't the people of An County also leave?"
Wu Jian said: "The people in the villages and towns have left, and the people in the city are reluctant to part with their family property. There are still tens of thousands of people in the city."
Long Chen frowned and said: "They couldn't attack Qianjiang County, so they turned to attack An County. He knows that I will definitely rescue them, so that they can take the initiative."
There were too many casualties in today's siege. Long Chen's side lost less than 1,000 people, and the pirates killed more than 10,000.
When a forceful attack failed, they turned around and attacked Anxian. This was to encircle the area and bring reinforcements.
The Battle of Daling River in the Ming Dynasty was a tactic of encirclement and reinforcements. Huang Taiji besieged Daling River City. The Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue, but Huang Taiji intercepted and surrounded the city halfway.
Now that the pirates have chosen to attack An County, Long Chen cannot sit back and watch tens of thousands of people in An County being killed. He will definitely send troops to rescue them, and the pirates can fight Long Chen halfway.
Zhang Qian shook her head and said, "We can't fall for such an obvious trick."
Wu Chuchu sighed: "Tens of thousands of people in Ke'an County...I just watched them being killed?"
This is a dilemma.
If you sit back and ignore it, An County will be destroyed and the people will be killed.
But if Long Chen sends troops to rescue them, they will definitely encounter pirates along the way. If they attack more with less, they have little chance of winning.
Once the battle is defeated, the people of Qianjiang County, not to mention An County, will be ruined.
Bai Tingting suddenly said: "They are attacking An County. We can attack Ghost Island. We will knock down the pirates' lair and make them homeless."
Dugu Jiali agreed and said: "Miss Bai, this is a good idea. If we attack Ghost Island, they will have to return troops to rescue them, and the crisis in An County will be solved."
This was a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, and to make the pirates give up their plan to attack An County.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "What if the pirates don't return? Ghost Island is their base, but it doesn't mean they can't give up."
"What if they simply abandon Ghost Island, attack Qianjiang County, and massacre all the coastal counties?"
This plan of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao seemed clever, but it had big loopholes.
The pirates make a living by plundering. As long as they can rob more people and property, they can build another ghost island.
Bai Tingting said helplessly: "Isn't there no solution?"
Long Chen said: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. They want us to go out of the city to fight, so we will go out to fight."
Wu Chuchu disagreed and said: "Sir, they still have more than 40,000 people, and we have less than 20,000. A frontal melee is not good for us."
Wu Xiangyun said: "The pirates are particularly good at night fighting. If we chase them now, we will have to fight them at night. We will suffer a loss."
Long Chen said: "There is no soldier who does not fight tough battles. Night fighting is also a part of the infantry."
The purpose of Long Chen coming here is not only to destroy the pirates, but also to form a new Long family army.
This army must be able to fight day and night. There will definitely be casualties, and those left behind will be elites.
Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun were a little scared. They had fought many pirates and were a little afraid.
Wu Jian smiled and said: "My lord is right, those who can survive are the elites. I will prepare."
Zhang Qian and Dugu Jiali immediately gathered their troops and prepared to march to An County.
Long Chen said to the Wu Chuchu sisters: "If you are afraid, just defend the city here."
Wu Chuchu looked up at Long Chen and said with firm eyes: "Afraid? Our Wu family has been fighting pirates for more than ten years, how can we be afraid? I will go with you!"
Wu Xiangyun also said: "Your Excellency will go in person, how could our sisters not go!"
The two immediately gathered their troops and prepared to set off.
Cooking was done immediately in the city, and the army took the time to rest. Long Chen ordered the city to be sealed and no one was allowed to leave, to prevent spies in the city from passing on news.
After entering the governor's house, Feng He flashed into the room.
"They are not camping outside the city. Do you really plan to hunt them down?"
Originally, Long Chen asked Feng He to find out the locations of Menduo Lang and Xiang Tian, and prepare to enter the camp at night to assassinate them. Now that the pirates have retreated, the plan has to change.
"Qianjiang County is more than 70 miles away from An County. They have just experienced a war and cannot attack directly. They must rest in the middle."
"The place where they were resting was probably in the middle. It was getting dark at that time, so it was just the right time to start."
"You continue to follow and find out the locations of Xiangtian and Mendoro for me."
Long Chen planned to fight the pirates at night, but not head-on.
Long Chen lurked in first. It would be best if he could kill Menduo Lang and Xiang Tian. If he couldn't kill them, he could also kill them randomly in the Chinese army's tent.
When the time comes, Wu Jian and Zhang Qian will lead the army to attack outside, and they will cooperate with each other to kill for a while, which is enough to defeat the pirates, and the crisis in An County will naturally be lifted.
Feng He stared at Long Chen and chuckled: "My lord's style of fighting into thousands of armies with a single sword always reminds me of Long Chen, the fifth young master of the Long family."
Long Chen smiled disdainfully: "Long Chen's bones are rotten, what are you thinking about?"
Feng He's doubts about Long Chen's identity have not been eliminated, and he feels more and more that Long Chengen is Long Chen.
Long Chen pretended not to care and did not deny it deliberately. Anyway, he was now his subordinate and allowed him to doubt it.
Feng He took the order and left the room, and Long Chen called Bai Tingting into the room.
Bai Tingting came in dressed in men's clothing, and Long Chen closed the door.
"What do you want to do? Don't mess around, I'm calling someone!"
When Bai Tingting saw Long Chen closing the door, she was so scared that she hugged her chest.
Long Chen shook his head and smiled: "Miss Bai, if you don't take it off yourself, I won't force you to take it off."
Bai Tingting blushed with embarrassment and cursed: "Shameless!"
Long Chen deliberately walked forward, blocked Bai Tingting in the corner, and said with a sly smile: "However, the sweetest thing is the strong one, so you should obey me!"
Bai Tingting opened her mouth to call someone, but Long Chen covered her mouth and said, "Okay, just a joke!"
"Hurry up and pack your things and follow me to assassinate the thief leader tonight."
Long Chen let go of his hand, and Bai Tingting asked suspiciously: "Assassinating the leader of the thieves? Aren't you going to rescue An County tonight?"
Long Chen opened the box, took out a small leather bag and wrapped it around his waist. There were more than 30 small crossbow arrows in it.
"Yes, the two of us will enter the enemy camp first and kill the enemy leader. Zhang Qian and the others will attack from outside."
Long Chen threw another small leather bag to Bai Tingting.
"Remember, after entering the enemy camp, you have to follow me. If you can't keep up, you will probably die there."
Long Chen's tone was serious, without the playful smile just now.
Bai Tingting knew that this trip was dangerous, so she took the small leather bag and wrapped it tightly around her waist.
"Eat a full meal, eat more meat, and set off as soon as it gets dark."
After Long Chen finished speaking, Bai Tingting immediately went out to prepare.
