Chapter 206: Must win a quick victory
"Not only golden juice, but also round logs and stones, take advantage of the time and prepare more!"
Jiang Jinshi continued to issue instructions, and at the same time, he understood in his heart that if they could win this time, then there would be nothing in Guangwu Jun that could stop the development of Yangguangzhai!
Wang Hou took Jiang Jinshi's order to several cities to ensure that everyone could withdraw in time and prepare in advance.
Two days were enough for Yangguangzhai to prepare many things, not to mention the help of the commoners in the city.
When cart after cart of stones and round logs were transported to Panjiang City, Jiang Jinshi felt stable in his heart. Now defense should be no problem at all.
Because Jiang Jinshi wasn't there when they attacked Panjiang City last time, strictly speaking, this was his first time conducting such a large-scale operation, so it was inevitable that he would have some anxiety in his heart.
If he had to say it, Jiang Jinshi felt this was "firepower insufficiency phobia"!
Yangguangzhai spent two days in such a hurry, and Jiang Jinshi finally received the news.
The Jun Governor brought 10,000 troops!
This was the news brought back by the people Wang Hou had arranged in advance on the only way, and receiving this news meant that the other party's main force would arrive at Panjiang City within two hours.
Jiang Jinshi immediately ordered the city gates to be closed and said to Luo Feng: "I will guard the East Gate, you and Jiang Ze guard the North Gate, Xiexiezi and Nie Fengyun guard the West Gate, Zhang Honghong and Ye Chang guard the South Gate!"
"Yes!" Luo Feng bowed to accept the order and immediately turned to arrange it.
Jiang Jinshi arranged everything properly, Li Xinyue temporarily took over logistics work, and Wang Hou was responsible for handling the information sent from the outside.
Xiao Chunqiu and Feng Chunsheng were also arranged by Jiang Jinshi in the position of military advisor to guard other city gates. After all, the two of them were considered to have betrayed the Da Qian Dynasty and joined Yangguangzhai, and they would definitely be beheaded if caught by the Jun Governor.
So they couldn't stay in the previous cities anymore and could only come to defend the city with Yangguangzhai.
Afterward, Jiang Jinshi climbed the city tower, looking into the distance, quietly waiting for the other party's arrival.
And the commoners in Panjiang City also sensed this abnormality, and for a time, the whole city appeared exceptionally quiet.
These two hours seemed exceptionally long. The autumn sun hung in the sky, the wind rolled up withered yellow grass scraps and dust, and Panjiang City stood there just like that, with a murderous aura constantly permeating.
"Report! Five miles ahead is Panjiang City!"
Liu Xuecheng, who was in the carriage, originally drowsy, finally woke up a bit after hearing this.
"Good! Explore again and report again!"
These damn bandits not only killed his nephew but also made him lose all face. Now that the opportunity for revenge was right in front of him, Liu Xuecheng really couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
Liu Xuecheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the Colonel riding a horse beside him: "Colonel Li, it's up to you next!"
After all, Liu Xuecheng was a scholar, not a military general, and General Yan wouldn't easily joke with the lives of his soldiers.
So General Yan sent Colonel Li to accompany him, letting him cooperate with Liu Xuecheng to take down the bandits.
Liu Xuecheng had no opinion on this point; he only needed the result, the process didn't matter.
Colonel Li bowed to Liu Xuecheng. "Rest assured, my lord! These bandits are just clay chickens and pottery dogs; how could they be the opponents of our regular army!"
"That's true!"
Liu Xuecheng didn't doubt it. After all, people with real ability wouldn't end up as bandits, right?!
The black-pressed army stopped three miles away from Panjiang City and began to set up camp in an orderly manner.
This scene naturally couldn't escape Jiang Jinshi's eyes. Huang Yan beside him was a bit excited at this moment, but without any timidity.
He didn't expect that just after joining Yangguangzhai, he could experience such a big battle. No wonder Big Brother looked down on them before!
Compared to this, weren't they just like children playing house?
Yan Wu also stood by Jiang Jinshi's side, couldn't help but sigh: "They came really fast!"
"Looking at this battle formation, they are really angry." Huang Yan spat, his eyes full of desire to make contributions.
Jiang Jinshi leaned on the parapet, squinting at the enemy's battle formation in the distance, his voice a bit low: "Not to mention occupying their city, the reputation of us in the mouths of the commoners is much better than the Jun Governor. If he doesn't fight us, where will he put his face?"
"Big Brother, how to fight?"
Huang Yan was eager to try, feeling that he was a newcomer and must do something.
"Don't be in a hurry to do things. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. Let's take it slow!"
What Jiang Jinshi didn't say was that you haven't fused with divine power yet, so there definitely won't be a chance for you to perform in this competition. Do you think the squad leaders under him are eating rice?
Yan Wu didn't think so much. He just followed Jiang Jinshi's arrangement. As he became more and more integrated into Yangguangzhai, he also began to like this bandit stronghold more and more.
Seeing that the other party didn't intend to attack immediately, Jiang Jinshi withdrew his gaze and swept over the brothers waiting in full battle array on the city wall.
Although the paper armor of Yangguangzhai wasn't enough to arm everyone, they had harvested 4,000 sets of armor after breaking Panjiang City, so now all the bandits of Yangguangzhai were fully armed.
Most of the bandits held long spears or waist knives, the archers checked their bowstrings, and the arrow quivers were full of arrows.
The neatness of the ranks was not inferior to the enemy troops under the city, and even the ferocity in their eyes was more piercing than the enemy troops!
Jiang Jinshi ordered calmly: "Move all rolling logs and stones to the designated positions! Get the hot oil pots burning! Without my order, no one is allowed to release arrows!"
"Yes!"
Huang Yan responded before Yan Wu and hurriedly turned to pass the order to other city gates.
As the order was quickly conveyed, the commoners who volunteered to help in the city continuously transported siege equipment to the city walls.
They sincerely hoped that Yangguangzhai would win! If the Jun Governor took the city back again, then the good days would come to an end!
Outside the city, Colonel Li sat on his horse. He was about forty years old, with a broad face and thick body, but his eyes were very sharp.
His colonel position wasn't picked up, but killed out on the border battlefield.
That is to say, he was once a soldier under the Prince of Zhenbei, but was later transferred to Guangwu Jun.
Although Colonel Li looked down on bandits, only when he really arrived under the city did he find that the other party wasn't so simple.
Rows of long spears stood on the city wall, and even seeing his large army coming, they didn't waver at all, which showed that the other party's leader had some means and wasn't an ordinary bandit.
It seemed this was a hard bone, not so easy to chew!
"Colonel!" The Vice Colonel approached on horseback, "The thieves rely on the city to defend, and their morale doesn't look low. Should we surround them for a few days to dampen their spirit?"
The Vice Colonel's words hit Colonel Li's heart, and he thought so too, but he could only ask Liu Xuecheng for instructions first. Who told the official to be one level higher and crush people to death!
After hearing this, Liu Xuecheng shook his head slowly: "Must win a quick victory to warn others! Moreover, if the delay is long, I fear there will be changes." ===== CHAPTER 207 =====
