In the following days, Wen Chou did not accompany Zhao Yun and others, but instead let them move around the peach forest in Shahe Township and enjoy the different styles. Wen Chou began to be busy arranging the matter of resisting the bandits in the Black Mountains again.

Because of the accurate information coming, the Heishan bandit Guo Daxian's troops in Fangzi County have led a 15,000 army to set off! The 15,000 army is a large number, almost most of the mobilized forces of its troops. And among the 5,000 army, there are only 5,000 elite bandits, and there are 3,000 elite bandits, even the other seven,000 bandits, are quite majestic, not the old, weak and remnants in the general sense. From this we can see the power and ambition of Guo Daxian.

If he was on the way to march, he would take Guishou, a villager from the Xiangliting tribe along the way, and when he arrived in Gaoyi and Pingji area, it would be inevitable that more than 20,000 people would be possible, even if he had more than 30,000 people!

So many bandits were invading, which was not something that Wen Chou had to resist! So since he received this shocking news, he only discussed it with the army Sima Jiang Xuan, Qu Chang and Dong Jiang, and then decisively went to Pingji County for assistance. In the direction of Gaoyi County, Jiang Xuan led several generals and schools to report and contact one or two.

The military situation was urgent and the situation was dangerous, so it had to be carried out at the same time, otherwise there would be a danger of collapse! Suddenly, the entire Shahe Township and Taolin Pass entered a more urgent combat readiness. After a few days, the news reached Pingji County and Gaoyi County, which had extremely subordinate townships, the atmosphere in this area began to become depressing and heavy.

Many villagers began to sort out their property and wealth, and rushed to the nearest county town with the elderly and the young to seek protection. This made Gaoyi and Pingji counties more noisy and crowded. On the official roads to these two counties, there were densely packed with villagers who were dragging their families, causing the road to be blocked. Even if the county soldiers wanted to go out of the city to patrol, they would have to spend some effort.

As a result, as soon as the arrival of late February, the number of Qianshou in the two counties increased from 40,000 to 70,000 to 70,000 to 80,000. The county magistrates and county magistrates of the two counties also attached great importance to this matter, and arranged personnel to appease these villagers who took refuge, and organized personnel to arrange defense matters, so as to use the people's strength of 70,000 to 80,000 people as much as possible. In this way, as long as there is no chaos, the county town can be saved.

When Wen Chou returned from Pingji County, Jiang Xuan and others were still discussing strategies to prevent thieves in Gaoyi County. If Guo Daxian came to attack, Gaoyi County would be the first to be attacked and would inevitably be fiercely attacked by most of the Black Mountain bandits. If there was no defense strategy, even if there was a population of 30,000 to 40,000 people in the county, it might not be able to resist it.

In the official temple in Gaoyi County, there is an auditory hall.

Gaoyi County Magistrate was sitting in the hall, and other county magistrates and other military generals were on the left, while county magistrates and other civil officials were on the right, and Jiang Xuan and Dong Jiang and others were on the guest seat. However, the atmosphere in the hall was not very good. Not only were the scholars and staff members who had little hope to successfully resist the attack of the Black Mountain bandits, but even the generals were pessimistic. Even if one or two people were still in a bloody desire to fight the bandits, they could not withstand such obstruction and speech.

This made Jiang Xuan, Dong Jiang and others quite helpless. They originally had the ability to form a temporary alliance with Gaoyi County to advance and retreat together to resist the attack of the Black Mountain bandits, and also increased the success rate of this disaster. However, no matter how they spoke, the people in the lobby were always "defeated" and did not respond to the alliance proposed by Jiang Xuan.

I just said repeatedly that we should try our best to gather the people and guard the city so as not to succeed in the bandits' journey. As for other dangerous things such as sending troops to attack the bandits and mobilizing the people to attack the bandits halfway, we should not even think about it. As for the other people who did not come to the county and the crops planted by the Guizhou leaders outside the county, they were not able to take care of.

Jiang Xuan, Dong Jiang and others came with hope, but they didn't expect that they would return in disappointment. They didn't expect that the people of Gaoyi County would be like this. Maybe it was because they had experienced several attacks on the Black Mountain bandits over the years. I think they knew better about the current situation of Gaoyi County, so they made such a conclusion. Jiang Xuan and others could only think so.

Although they may not be able to provide more people to assist Taolinsai, they still hope that Wen Chou and others can really resist Guo Daxian's attack and even repel him, which would be better. For this reason, they did not say anything to take another step back, but only insisted on it.

When Jiang Xuan and Dong Jiang returned to Taolin Pass, they reported this situation to Wen Chou, and Wen Chou frowned and felt a headache. He did not calculate that Gaoyi County was so uncooperable! The chance of his successful resistance to Guo Daxian's troops was much lower, and the cost also increased sharply. However, this headache did not bother him for a long time, because Guo Daxian's army had already brought his power!

In the Taolin Pass, in the meeting hall, Wen Chou was discussing how to deal with this unexpected situation with a group of generals and schools, and he went to report to Ma Lai.

"Report!" A high-pitched voice of a capable detective came, which seemed quite urgent.

"Tell me!" Wen Chou said in a deep voice, and the others in the hall were also waiting for the soldiers' words with breath.

"The 3,000 troops of the Black Mountain bandits have arrived in Gaoyi County. I think it will be possible to reach outside Gaoyi County in just three or four days!"

When everyone in the hall heard this, most of them took a breath of air. However, this vanguard unit must be the elite of the Black Mountain bandits. There were actually three thousand people, and they marched so quickly!

"Yeah, so fast?" Wen murmured with scandal. Then he asked: "Where is most of his body now? Have you ever discovered it?"

When everyone in the hall heard this, they listened to the top. The movements of this large army were the top priority! The key to this battle. Even if the vanguards were extremely powerful, the number of people was small after all. Even if they could cause some damage to Shahe Township and Gaoyi County, they would definitely not be much, and within a bearable range. If there were a large army of 20,000 to 30,000, even if they were not so elite, they could make this area uninhabited! The harm would be much greater.

"The large army of the bandit army has been invaded for a long time. Every time they meet with the people they meet along the way, there are more than 20,000 people, and they are located at the two or three days of the vanguard's army!"

"It turns out to be so!" Wen Chou was angry. "Appoint all the scouts to explore the horses and make sure that every move of the bandits is in the control of our army. Go ahead!" Wen Chou said to the scouts.

"The bandits were expected to do this. However, they would definitely slow down their marching speed along the way. We would prepare for a while." Jing saw the horses exploring the hall, Jiang Xuanyan said.

"In this way, I wonder what strategy to retreat the enemy and calm the people?" Wen asked with a relaxed expression after hearing the scandal.

"I dare not boast about retreating to the enemy and restoring the people. I just can't let the vanguards of the bandits go, and I should slam their aura!" Jiang Xuan said cautiously.

"How to suffocate his spirit?"

"Of course I took them the head! Otherwise, it would make them feel that we, the villagers, have no courage or courage!"

"It's just a frontal attack," Wen Chou was surprised. Even the others in the hall felt that Jiang Xuan's strategy was inadequate. Because the number of people on both sides was very different, the bandits had three thousand elites and the Taolinsai had a head-on battle? If the battle was severely damaged, it would definitely be a big disadvantage to the next series of battles!

"I know very well what you guys think, but there are three benefits to frontal attacks."

"Three benefits, let's talk about it."

"One of the way, it seriously defeats the morale of the bandits, so there is no need to explain this; secondly, it can increase the morale of the people in Gaoyi County and give them some confidence in the next battle, so that the bandits will not be defeated or even abandon the city! Thirdly, it can encourage the confidence of our coalition soldiers to fight. After all, the bandits are powerful, and even the soldiers in Pingji County may not be full of morale. Can you take a risky battle with these three benefits?"

"You are right. If our army can really defeat the vanguard troops of the bandits, it can indeed play the above role." Wen Zhaowen said, thinking carefully for a while. However, everyone in the hall was still not optimistic about this move. It was just like Yan Liang and Wenba and other combat madmen, frowned and thought.

"Besides, with the elite of our army and the support of thousands of local brave men, there will definitely be no great damage to the war. Are you so unconfident in your soldiers?" Jiang Xuan continued to speak when he saw this.

"We know what Sima said, but I just feel sorry for every soldier under my command. But since it is a battlefield, there is no immortality. I, Dong Jiang, agree with Sima's words."

With Dong Jiang's beginning, others no longer had many doubts and expressed their agreement. Of course, this was also the case when Wen Chou accomplied and agreed. Otherwise, everyone would not have passed this resolution so neatly.

"Since you all agree, it's not time to go. Now we will draw the elite soldiers, including 500 cavalry, 200 archers, 500 swords and shields, and 200 spearmen in the village. The generals and school leaders will set off immediately!" Wen Chou also ordered very decisively.

"No!" the generals stood up and responded. They rushed out and gathered their subordinates to Qutun. Even the strong people in the village, some traveling Liu Zhong went to summon him.

It was said that it was a convening, but in fact the soldiers had already gathered, waiting for the above military orders to be issued! Even the strong people in the village had already gathered in one team of hundreds of people, either patrolling, practicing skills, or competing. In short, they were all waiting for the troops. As long as the above orders came, they could quickly gather together with thousands of troops. This was just a small part of the preparations made by Wen Chou and others these days.

In just three moments, the troops gathered in the Taolin Forest! The strong north wind made the tiger-headed black flag in front of the army rush, as if it was about to jump out; there was also a black flag embroidered with a big "Wen" character, which danced together.
Chapter completed!
