Chapter 305: Attacked
Panjiawu has become a ruin.
Liu Chenglin stood on the broken wall of the fort with a blue face, and his eyes seemed to be about to spit out of fire.
The attack happened on the day Li Zecheng married, that is, on the day Liu Chenglin held a banquet, when he was discussing with his colleagues to completely capture the last stubborn forts in Yingzhou.
This was not true, so he slapped him hard in the face, making him feel so painful. On the high tower of the Pan family's main house, a long white banner hung down from above, and the big fishy red characters were particularly dazzling.
"Congratulations to Marshal Li Ze for his wedding!"
When Li Ze got married, Lu Long gave gifts, but their gifts were blood and corpses.
Panjiawu is just a small fortress. Hundreds of families live in the fortress. When Li Ze captured Yingzhou and Liu Chenglin's army advanced, Pan Feng, the head of the Pan family, knew that he could not resist, so he immediately surrendered.
Afterwards, Liu Chenglin stationed 100 soldiers here, and Yixing Society also stationed ten members here.
But now, these people are dead.
Their bodies were no longer found, and only their heads were left. Outside the fort, they were built into a Jingguan, and the head of the Pan family head Pan Feng was placed at the top.
Liu Chenglin stared at the fearful head. He had promised to ensure the safety of Pan Feng's family, but now, these seem to have become the biggest jokes.
Hundreds of families in Panjiawu were gone, and they should have been plundered by the Lulong people. Liu Chenglin could imagine that these people would definitely be used by the Lulong people as witnesses to their appearance, creating greater panic in Yingzhou and shaking the rule of Wuwei Jie Town here.
The Lulong people have ruled Yingzhou for almost twenty years. The Yingzhou people have become accustomed to their high pressure and their ferocity. In addition, this incident is afraid that when the news comes, the panic of the entire Yingzhou people will inevitably be inevitable.
With a thud, he punched hard on the broken dock wall. As the punch fell, a large piece of the burnt dock wall in front of him shook for a few times and fell down with a bang. Liu Changfeng on the side was startled, grabbed Liu Chenglin and took a few steps back.
"If you don't take this revenge, you won't be a human being." Liu Chenglin held his red cherry gun and walked down.
Du Teng, the governor of Shenzhou who followed Liu Chenglin all the way, grabbed Liu Chenglin and said, "General Liu, calm down, and will not raise troops because of anger. You are angry and lack the most basic calmness of a general. It is not advisable to send troops at this time. A gentleman will take revenge. It is not too late for ten years. Please think twice before you act."
Liu Chenglin paused slightly, turned his head to look at Du Teng, but Du Teng tightly pulled his sleeve and refused to relax.
"If this revenge is not avenged, how can morale be maintained? How do the people of Yingzhou view us? They can only fight blood for blood and teeth for teeth."
At this moment, Sun Zhi also came over and said, "Chenglin, governor Du is right. If the opponent attacks, there will inevitably be a corresponding backup plan. At this time, we are not ready to make a big move. If we attack rashly, there is no way to attack large forts like Shijiawu. Maybe we will fall into their trap. Even if they don't have a trap, we will only be itchy through the boots and let the enemy laugh at them. By then, it will be even more harmful to morale."
Du Teng is an old military service, and although Sun Zhi led his troops to fight less, he used to work in the shogunate of Henghaijie Town for many years. In comparison, they were more calmer.
Liu Chenglin took a deep breath, stood there for a moment, and finally nodded, "I know what I know."
Walking down the broken wall of the dock, Liu Chenglin walked to the Jingguan, who was still standing there, knelt on one knee, and knocked his right hand on the armor on his left chest.
"Brothers, don't go too far, let's see Liu avenge you, cross Mengpo Bridge and drink Mengpo soup."
He stood up, turned his head away, waved his hand, and a team of guards trotted forward and began to restrain these heads. In the fort, the soldiers searching for him were also coming out in groups.
In the distance, the Rangers led by Li De were also returning.
Li De turned over and dismounted, walked to Liu Chenglin, and bowed with fists and said, "General, it was not just cavalry that attacked Panjiawu, but mixed infantry and cavalry. However, the infantry were obviously riding horses or mules, donkeys, and they also carried some simple siege tools with them. A small fort like Panjiawu could not resist. This is also the reason why they came so quickly and retreated very quickly."
"From Shijiawu?"
"It can only come from Shijiawu." Li Dedao.
Liu Chenglin nodded.
"General Liu." In the city, Bao Hui, who led the search team, walked over with a bag of things, came to Liu Chenglin, spread out the bag in her hand, which were some feather arrows, broken armor, and things like broken swords and spears.
"It was not the village soldiers of Shijiawu, but the elite troops of the Lulong people." Bao Hui picked up these things on the ground. "Although Shijiawu received military support from the Lulong people, a large part of their weapons were still self-financing, and the standard weapons only account for a small part. However, the broken weapons found in and outside the dock were all Lulong's standard weapons. We did not see the weapons used by the soldiers of Shijiawu's villages, so we can confirm that the attack was Lulong's elite."
"Although Panjiawu is small, it can gather 500 rural soldiers. In addition to the people we stationed here, the armed forces of 600 people are not small. However, the Lulong people can only gain an absolute advantage in their troops so quickly, and they should not be less than three thousand." Liu Chenglin, who calmed down, looked at everyone and said.
"Three thousand people?" Everyone present frowned.
"Everyone, the Lulong people have officially started a war against us." Liu Chenglin snorted coldly, "So, our war against them will not be delayed anymore. The longer the time, the more troops the Lulong people will send. Now is the time when the green and yellow are not in response, and the Lulong people suddenly attack us, the only intention is to gain the advantage of taking the preemptive advantage, making us exhausted."
"But if we take revenge in this way, wouldn't they backfire?" Sun Zhi said in surprise.
Du Teng shook his head: "Governor Sun doesn't know anything. Just look at the fact that all the Lu Long people are cavalry. Even the infantry were equipped with mounts, which means that the other party wanted to fight a guerrilla war with us. When we went east, they must go west, they wanted to lead our noses. They did not want to occupy our territory, nor did they want to defeat our main force. They just wanted to create panic in Yingzhou. They could fight and run away, but we had more concerns and would not do so.
The guerrilla troops were wiped out, and our internal situation was unstable. They wanted to use such an active force to restrain our large force, forcing us to encircle and suppress this force first. But in this way, it was just in the will of the other party. Even if we surrounded and killed all of this force in the end, they also bought enough time. Once it was dragged to autumn, they were afraid that Zhang Zhongwu would be able to change direction and mobilize enough troops in front of our Wuweijie Town."
"Governor Du is worthy of being an old military service, and he revealed the other party's thoughts in one word." Liu Chenglin nodded in agreement: "The general opposite us is a tricky figure."
"But in this way, what should we do?" Bao Hui stood up and asked.
"Since you have seen through it, you will naturally not be led by the enemy." Liu Chenglin beat up heavily with the spear in his hand: "Li De, give this enemy to you, I hope you can catch up with the enemy and destroy them. Except for your Rangers, I will give you all the cavalry in my hand."
"Yes!" Li De agreed with his fists.
"Our main force unswervingly launches an attack on Shijiawu. Governor Du and Governor Sun, I still need more food, grass, weapons, and even various siege equipment. With Yingzhou alone, I cannot guarantee the needs of our troops."
Du Teng and Sun Zhi both nodded and said, "Don't worry, General Liu, within ten days, we will transport your troops to Yingzhou."
"Bao Changshi!" Liu Chenglin looked at Bao Hui.
"What are the general's instructions?"
"I need them to play the role of the nails you inserted in the early stage. I need to know the specific number of soldiers and horses in Shijiawu, how many village soldiers, how many Lulong people, and how many long-range weapons there are. If you can get a specific defense map, that would be even better. In short, as long as it is news in Shijiawu, I will." Liu Chenglin said.
"I understand." Bao Hui said.
"The enemy has declared war, so let them see what a real strong army is." Liu Chenglin turned over the horse and finally glanced at the broken Panjiawu and the lush crops outside Panjiawu, but now they have become large tracts of land with coke. He slid his legs and ran towards the road.
The Liu Chenglin tribe in Yingzhou sounded the horn of the war, and their target was naturally Shijiawu, which the Lulong people strongly supported. At this moment, less than fifty miles from Panjiawu, which had just been broken and burned, a cavalry was resting here in a huge rift valley.
Several war horses ran from afar, and a few figures flashed above the rift valley, looking around for a moment, then turned around and waved the flags into the rift valley.
In the rift, a cavalry that was already ready to go turned over and dismounted and put away the weapons in their hands.
"General Fei!" Several cavalry drove straight into the center of the rift, turned over and dismounted, bowed to a young general.
"Where did Li De go?" The young general surnamed Fei came from the powerful Youzhou clan, Fei Zhong, and was also the nephew of Fei Zhong's family.
"Li De's cavalry camped thirty miles away from us, and we should soon find our traces. Their scouts are very powerful, and we dare not get too close," said the scout.
"How can Li Ze's confidant not have many skills?" The young general surnamed Fei laughed: "But Yingzhou is our Yingzhou. These outsiders know nothing about this place. Are we about to discover us? Ha, then let's just leave a trace for him and let him chase us well!"
