Great Song Pirate

Chapter 386

"I want to send troops south to conquer Annan!" Xu Yi's words shocked the people in the meeting hall of Danshui Village.

Seeing Gao Xu's shocked appearance, Xu Yi then told everyone about Qian Gui and Cao Xian's loss in Dazhanhaikou in Annan. After listening to Xu Yi's words, they finally understood why Xu Yi was so angry. Knowing why he decided to send troops to attack Annan, they all nodded to express their support for Xu Yi.

"It is said that Annan is thousands of miles away from us. Although I agree to set off for Annan this time, I ask my lord to make detailed preparations before going out. We have less than ten ships here, and most of them are not warships. , if we send troops to attack Annan's harbor with our current strength, I am afraid that the strength is too weak! Please think twice before acting, my lord!" Gao Xu immediately got up and expressed his opinion.

"That's right! I can't rush this matter! We must be prepared before sending out troops, otherwise we may not be able to save Brother Qian, and we may be trapped there ourselves. In this case, we will lose more than we gain!" Yang Zaixing hurriedly Remind Xu Yi to come.

"My humble opinion is that the lord should think twice. Even if we want to save Qiangui, we need to be fully prepared before leaving. With the power we currently have, we may not be able to rescue Qiangui and them! Maybe we will fall there. , so I thought we should make preparations and mobilize more ships and manpower!" Li Bo also said at this time.

After their persuasion, Xu Yi, who was in a fit of anger, finally began to calm down gradually. This trip is different from the past. This expedition can be said to be the first time they attacked a port town on land from the sea. This battle can be said to be They rarely encountered situations before. The power he can mobilize in Danshui Village is obviously too weak. With such power, it is difficult for them to lay down a port. Moreover, the voyage this time is very far, and the supply is also a challenge. The problem is, if you don’t make sufficient preparations in advance, you may really steal chickens and lose money, and instead miss Qiangui and their lives. Thinking of this, Xu Yi’s feverish brain began to cool down, so he took a deep breath. Taking a breath, his face softened a little.

After seeing Xu Yi calm down, everyone was relieved. They all understood Xu Yi's character and knew that he was not the kind of brainless reckless man. As long as he calmed down, he would not do stupid things.

Xu Yi nodded, then sat behind the case, and began to add up. There are indeed very few ships that can be called in Danshui Village. Since there is no need to go out to sea, there are not many ships equipped with ballistas. Most of them are Some large square boats used to transport supplies back and forth, it is really useless to bring such a fleet to Annan.

There are still some warships in Jilongzhai, and there are also some cargo ships there, which are the fastest force he can mobilize at present, and the nearest fleet is Wang Feng's ship on Fujian Road. , so he will need some time to prepare.

Seeing Xu Yi sitting quietly, everyone knew that he had already started to think carefully about this matter. Seeing that it was getting late, Gao Xu whispered to his subordinates to prepare some meals for Xu Yi and the others first, and let them eat first. Xu Yi has been very tired these days, so he can't be exhausted because of this matter.

Knowing that there is no way to be anxious, Xu Yi obeyed their request and decided to eat first before talking about it. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. I still don't know where Annan is. It is obviously unrealistic to rush there so recklessly. At least I have to know the details of the place first, otherwise I will be in trouble if I go there and never return.

Everyone sat around the table and discussed the matter while eating. Xu Yi asked Wan Dayong to explain in detail about the specific situation of this big seaport.

Wan Dayong sorted out his thoughts, and said to everyone: "This Dazhanhaikou is the border between the south of Annan and the Champa Kingdom. I heard from Mr. Cao that in the early years, this place was originally owned by the Champa Kingdom. Occupied by the Annan Li Dynasty of Xinliguo, this is a very good inland port. All ships traveling to and from Southeast Asia need to replenish some fresh water food here, and also conduct some transactions here, so this place is very important for Annan. , They also set up a government here to govern, and usually collect taxes from passing ships trading here to supplement their government, but when we went this time, we didn't make any transactions, just wanted to add some freshwater food, but The officials on their wharf saw that our ship was full of goods, and they wanted to forcibly collect our taxes. We refused to compromise, so they dealt with us ruthlessly. Now Commander Qian and our other ships have fallen in There! Only when the humble staff escaped and was chased by their warships for a while, and we killed one of them, did they retreat back to Dazhanhaikou!"

After listening to his introduction, everyone was furious, and Xu Yi continued to ask: "I don't know exactly where this Dazhanhaikou is, please tell me in detail!"

Wan Dayong hurriedly said: "There is a place called Toulon on the north side of Dazhanhaikou, which is also a port where large ships can berth. There is a place called Huazhou farther away, and there is a place called Guangyi on the south side. It is far away from them. Thang Long, the capital of Thang Long, is far away, and it is the southernmost place controlled by Annan. I don’t know whether these places are occupied by the Champa Kingdom, or they have already belonged to the Annan Li Dynasty! There is a town on the pier here. The Shaoan Nan people and the former Champa people have more tough folk customs, and seeing them makes me angry! They are all black and thin, with high cheekbones, like monkeys! Damn it!"

After hearing what he said, Xu Yi finally understood where the Dazhanhaikou he was talking about was. Didn't this mean Hoi An in Vietnam?It is very close to Da Nang, a famous city in later generations of Vietnam. It is said to be a place with beautiful scenery and a famous tourist attraction in later generations of Vietnam. It used to be an important port of the ancient country of Vietnam, Champa Kingdom. I did not expect it to be occupied by Annan Kingdom now. Yes, after knowing the geographical location, things will be easy to handle!

"This time to rescue Brother Qian, I think my lord might as well take our infantry with us. After all, we are likely to invade their town. If we go, it will be easier to do things! And this time we can take the opportunity to test Let’s take a look at the fighting power of our infantry, the last time we killed that tribe, it was really because of the disparity in strength, we can’t see how powerful we are!” Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun immediately called for a fight eager to try.

Xu Yi took a look at the two of them, and his heart became alive. This expedition is different from fighting at sea alone in the past. Maybe he really wants to attack land. If he encounters Annan soldiers and horses, the lightly armed navy may It will be a disadvantage, and the infantry will definitely play a big role, but he thought about it again, so he asked: "Now our infantry has just been established, how many troops do you have available now?"

"The subordinates now have 600 soldiers (young soldiers), plus our previous garrison of more than 200, now there are at least 500 people, not counting those who used to maintain law and order in various settlements in our branch Soldiers, if we add them, the number of soldiers we can use can reach [-]. Although the formation time is not long, these people have already passed our training. Quite confident! The lord also said that if we want to have an iron army, we must rely on fighting to forge an iron-blooded army. Join our infantry, let us also temper it, and we can also serve the Lord once!"

"Yes, my lord, the last general is also willing to go to Annan to rescue Brother Qian and the others! Take us with you!" Gao Jun asked for a fight as soon as he heard this.

Xu Yi lowered his head and thought for a while and asked Gao Xu: "If I take away the infantry this time, will your strength here be too weak? If something happens, can you handle it here?"

Gao Xu got up immediately and replied: "I think there should be no problem. The fact that the lord led the troops to block the embankment in person has spread to all places here. The hearts of the people have been touched by the lord's kind deed. Conveying such a feat of the lord, I thought that no one would want to make trouble now, and today some people have already signed up there, willing to join our Fubo army and serve the lord! This is all thanks to the lord , I really admire the humble position!"

Xu Yi was taken aback by his flattery. When he led someone to plug the hole with his body, he didn't think about so many things. He only thought about how hard he managed to get this field. Rushing away, he didn't think about buying people's hearts at all. He didn't expect that his unintentional move could actually gain such a reputation, and let the immigrants here completely return their hearts. This is an unexpected surprise!So finally there was a smile on his face, and he waved his hand and said, "What! Gao Xumo wanted to pour me ecstasy soup, I didn't think about so many things at the time, it was just an accident! Don't flatter me again! We don't eat this here!"

Seeing Xu Yi's mood improved, everyone felt a little more relaxed.

But Xu Yi seemed to be reluctant to use these young soldiers, so he hesitated and then asked Yang Zaixing: "These children are only fifteen or sixteen years old, so let them go to the battlefield like this, isn't it a bit weak?"

"My lord, don't underestimate these little guys. Now these little guys are not weak at all! They have eaten well and dressed well in the past two years. They have been trained very solidly, and these children have a strong sense of obedience. If we let them move forward, even if there is a river in front of them, as long as we don’t say stop, they will jump without hesitation. The soul of the army is Iron law, they have such self-awareness that I feel ashamed! Even if their combat power is compared with those of adults, they are by no means weaker than them, and they are even much stronger than them! These children last time When dealing with those natives, I was still surprised. They cooperated very well. Among all the casualties, they had the least number, and each of them had the heart of repaying the lord. It’s not enough to describe! The little things are more ruthless than me when killing people! You don’t have to worry about this problem at all!” Yang Zaixing seldom talked to Xu Yi, but when he talked about these young soldiers this time, he couldn’t help but laugh. Quartert boasted, and he couldn't help showing a smug look on his face.

Gao Jun also immediately nodded at the side and said: "That's right! These children can definitely be called fierce soldiers. Regardless of their young age, their kung fu is not weak at all. They all practice consciously. No one has ever Dare to be lazy, otherwise lazy people will not be able to get along among them, so in terms of combat power, they are not weaker than those adults in the garrison! I can testify to this!"

Only then did Xu Yi realize that these teenagers had become a usable team of warriors in half a year, so he felt very relieved in his heart, nodded and said: "If that's the case, then you can go with me this time. Our current square boats can hold 200 people per ship. We will mobilize more square boats to serve as special boats for carrying your infantry. This time let the people of Annan see how powerful our Fubo infantry is. !"

"I obey!" Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun immediately stood up and obeyed, both of them looked happy.

"I'm not protecting my weaknesses! These officers and soldiers will be the backbone of our future infantry. You must be careful when using them. They must not cause too many casualties, otherwise they will cause huge losses to our future infantry. This must be done by the two of you. Pay attention!" Xu Yi specifically asked the two of them to come again.

Both Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun knew that Xu Yi attached great importance to these children, and also knew how important these children would be to the Fubo Army in the future, so they immediately bowed down again.

Everyone chatted while eating, and slowly through Wan Dayong's description, everyone learned a lot about the specific situation of Dazhan Haikou, and Xu Yi gradually formed a bold plan in his mind.

"Gao Xu, hurry up and find someone who can draw, and according to what Brother Wan said, draw a detailed map of the terrain of Dazhanhaikou, as well as some conditions of the town there. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. We We can't fight an unprepared war. Since we want to do it, we have to do it beautifully. We must save Qiangui and them. And this time we might as well do it a little bigger. It's not easy to go out. We can't come back empty-handed. Since they want to Taking advantage of us, we will let them spit it back to us ten times and a hundred times this time!" Xu Yi gritted his teeth and said.

Gao Xu immediately got up and agreed, then turned around and ordered his subordinates to find the painter quickly, and follow Xu Yi's instructions to make a map first. For those who know how to fight, they are well aware of the importance of this matter!
