From eunuch to emperor

After repelling the pirates' attack, Long Chen has been standing on the city wall, observing the pirates' movements.

Strangely, the pirates had no intention of attacking again.

"Old Wu, do you find it strange that they seem to be heading south?"

Long Chen saw that Haikou's team was 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, in the southeast.

Zhang Qian asked, "Didn't the people in An County leave too?"

Wu Jian said: "The people in the village and town 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 attacked An County instead. He knew that I would definitely rescue him, so he could take the initiative."

There were too many casualties in the siege today, less than 1 were killed on Long Chen's side, and more than 1 pirates were killed.

A strong attack was not enough, so they turned around and attacked An County, which was a siege for reinforcements.

The battle of the Daling River in the Ming Dynasty was a method of siege and reinforcements. Huang Taiji besieged Dalinghe City, and the Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue, and Huang Taiji blocked the siege halfway.

Now that the pirates choose to attack An County, it is impossible for Long Chen to sit back and watch the tens of thousands of people in An County be killed, he will definitely send troops to rescue, and the pirates will be able to fight Long Chen halfway.

Zhang Qian shook her head and said, "We can't be fooled by such an obvious trick."

Wu Chuchu sighed: "The tens of thousands of people in Ke'an County... I just watched them get killed?"

This is a dilemma.

If you just sit back and ignore it, An County will be destroyed and the people will be killed.

But if Long Chen sent troops to rescue, he would definitely encounter pirates on the way, and at that time, he would attack more with less, and the chance of winning was not great.

Once the battle is lost, not to mention An County, the people of Qianjiang County will also be finished.

Bai Tingting suddenly said: "They attacked An County, we can attack Ghost Island, we knocked down the pirates' lair, and they were homeless."

Dugu Jiali agreed, and said: "Miss Bai, this is a good idea. When we attack Guidao, they must return to the rescue, and the crisis in An County will be resolved."

This is a strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and 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 to their troops? Ghost Island is their base, but it's not something they can't give up."

"What if they simply abandon Ghost Island, turn around and attack Qianjiang County, and slaughter all the counties along the coast?"

This strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao seems ingenious, but it has a lot of loopholes.

Pirates make a living by plundering. As long as they can grab 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 wins. They want us to go out of the city to fight, so we will go out of the city to fight."

Wu Chuchu disagreed, and said, "My lord, they still have more than 4 people, and we have less than [-]. A frontal scuffle is not good for us."

Wu Xiangyun said: "The pirates are very good at night battles. If we chase after them now, we have to fight them at night, and we will suffer."

Long Chen said: "There is no soldier who does not fight tough battles. Night battles are also part of the infantry."

The purpose of Long Chen's 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, and there will definitely be casualties, leaving only the elite.

Wu Chuchu and Wu Xiangyun were a little scared. They fought a lot with pirates, so they were a little scared.

Wu Jian said with a smile: "Your Excellency is right, those who can survive are the elite, I will prepare."

Zhang Qian and Dugu Jiali immediately assembled the army and prepared to march to An County.

Long Chen said to Wu Chuchu and the two sisters: "If you are afraid, you can defend the city here."

Wu Chuchu looked up at Long Chen, said with resolute eyes: "Afraid? Our Wu family has been fighting pirates for more than ten years. How can we be afraid? I'll go with your lord!"

Wu Xiangyun also said: "Your Excellency will go in person, how could our sisters not go!"

The two immediately assembled the army and prepared to go.

Immediately cook in the city, the army seized the time to rest, Long Chen ordered the city to be sealed off, no one is allowed to leave, to prevent the spies in the city from passing on the news.

After entering the Governor's Mansion, Feng He flashed into the room.

"They are not camping outside the city. Your Excellency really intends to hunt them down?"

Originally, Long Chen asked Feng He to find out the location of Mendorang and Xiangtian, and planned to enter the camp to assassinate at night, but now that the pirates have retreated, the plan has to be changed.

"Qianjiang County is more than 70 miles away from An County. They have just experienced a war, so it is impossible to attack directly. They must rest halfway."

"Their resting place is estimated to be in the middle. It was dark at that time, and it was just right to do it."

"You continue to follow, find out the location of Xiangtian and Mendorang for me."

Long Chen planned to fight the pirates at night, but he didn't want to do it head-on.

Long Chen lurks in first, it would be best if he can kill Men Dalang and Xiang Tian, ​​if he can't kill them, he can also kill them indiscriminately in the central army tent.

When the time comes, Wu Jian and Zhang Qian will lead an army to attack outside, and they will fight inside and outside for a while, enough to defeat the pirates, and the crisis in An County will naturally be resolved.

Feng He stared at Long Chen and said with a chuckle: "Your Excellency's style of single-handedly entering the army 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 this guy feels more and more that Long Chengen is Long Chen.

Long Chen acted as if he didn't care, and didn't deliberately deny it, anyway, now that he's his subordinate, let him doubt it.

Feng He led the order out of the room, Long Chen called Bai Tingting to the room.

Bai Tingting came in dressed in men's clothing, but Long Chen closed the door.

"What do you want? Don't mess around, I'm calling someone!"

Seeing Long Chen close the door, Bai Tingting hugged her chest in fright.

Long Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Miss Bai, if you don't take it off yourself, I won't force you to take it off."

Bai Tingting blushed and cursed, "Shameless!"

Long Chen deliberately walked forward, blocked Bai Tingting in the corner, and said with a lecherous smile: "However, the twisted melon is the sweetest, you should follow me!"

Bai Tingting opened her mouth to call someone, but Long Chen covered her mouth and said, "Okay, let's make a joke!"

"Pack up your things quickly, and follow me to assassinate the thief leader at night."

Long Chen let go of his hand, and Bai Tingting asked suspiciously: "Assassinate the thief leader? Aren't you going to rescue An County at night?"

Long Chen opened the box, took out a small leather bag from inside and wrapped it around his waist, and put more than 30 small crossbow bolts in it.

"Yes, the two of us entered the enemy camp first and beheaded the enemy leader, while Zhang Qian and the others attacked from the 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 may die there."

Long Chen's tone was serious, without the hippie 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 enough food, eat more meat, and set off when it gets dark."

After Long Chen finished speaking, Bai Tingting immediately went out to prepare.
