Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

After Su Xia finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the confused expressions on these people's faces. Su Xia suddenly realized that she had spoken too early.

After all, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written by Luo Guanzhong of the Ming Dynasty, so these people have never heard of it.

After a pause, Su Xia said again: "Okay, let's not mention straw boats for borrowing arrows. Let's just talk about the Song army's long-term use of large boats in inland rivers. The main reason is the influence of the water warfare environment. They are used in inland rivers and rely on bows and crossbows to fight. Because The water in large inland rivers and lakes is shallow and there are few winds. Therefore, we have the conditions to build some tall warships, which look even taller than our "Chaoyong". But if it is at sea and a big wave hits, the building may have to capsize. We The chassis of your warship must be stable!"

Xiong Hui on the side also agreed and said: "If the chassis is stable, it is also suitable for us to use impact for the bronze bumper."

Everyone bowed their heads for a while. In fact, ancient water battles were more like battles between moving fortresses on the water. When they were far away, they used crossbows and trebuchets to attack each other. When they were closer, they used crossbows to kill and injure the enemy ship's personnel. When they got close to the side, they used racquet poles to smash them. Attack the enemy ship, and finally both sides join forces to fight.

Su Xia's Pinghai Navy used tactics based on artillery, muskets, and rockets. The exterior of the ships was covered with hardwood and iron sheets! It is also equipped with armor-piercing collision corners that are hard enough! But only when the speed reaches a certain level can the enemy lose a certain amount of mobility.

There is no problem with the navy, but the cavalry still needs further training!

The hundreds of cavalry under Zhao Wenhui alone are not enough for the cavalry detachment of the Pinghai Navy.

He needs real cavalry - Mongolian cavalry!

As long as there are ten thousand such cavalry charging forward with shouts, they can be invincible!

Su Xia, who was enjoying the discussion, had no time to continue thinking. At the door, a deputy general came with a hurried message;

"Master Su, the beacon light at Ruyi Restaurant should be reported by the sergeant on duty! Something seems to have happened!"

Su Xia was shocked.

Ruyi Restaurant was a transit place for trade with Dengzhou Wei and even the entire Song Dynasty.

It is not only a transfer center for trade, money and food, and people entering the island, but also an intelligence center for obtaining information.

He felt strangely annoyed by everything that happened.

Smoke coming out of the dock late at night is naturally not a good thing. Before designing the restaurant, Li Gaosheng specially designed a beacon smoke, which is especially obvious at night. There are dedicated personnel staying on duty 24 hours a day to observe with fixed telescopes!

Once there is a situation on the other side, you can see clearly through the telescope.

Su Xia looked through the telescope fixedly arranged on the top floor of the meeting hall and could indeed see the light of the beacon!

"How long!"

The sergeant in charge of staying behind said: "Come back, Sir, it will take less than a quarter of an hour!"

"Leave immediately, let Shi Jin and Yang Chun lead a combat team and set off immediately!"

While walking down the stairs, Su Xia ordered: "Inform Zhao Wenhui that the Second Ping Navy Corps will enter Level [-] combat readiness immediately!"

"Yes!"

It takes two hours from Salmon Island to Dengzhouwei Pier.

Zhu Wu and others followed closely behind Su Xia.

Su Xia's heart was a little confused. Everyone really didn't expect that such a situation would happen. Some people dared to challenge the navy's idea and Su Xia's idea. They were so bold!

When Su Xia led the team to the scene, it was already dark.

The entire Ruyi Restaurant was in a mess inside and outside.

There were many soldiers at the scene!

The leader of the team was Sun Li, the sick lieutenant. He had just arrived. When he saw Su Xia arriving, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "General Su, my brother Sun Xin has already led his men to pursue that group of bandits!"

A military doctor also came forward to report: "Sir, Tao Zongcai was seriously injured during the operation last night, and he is still unconscious!"

"Save him for me at all costs!"

"Sir, I'm afraid he lost too much blood!"

"I'm afraid of nothing. What I want is the result. I tell you, he must be revived."

.......

Su Xia's face was extremely cold; "What was the situation at the scene? Who did it?"

"These are the prisoners captured by the cavalry yesterday."

A school captain said, pulling several captured pirates forward. Su Xia rushed forward angrily and looked at the captured bandits, all of whom were under control.

"Have these people confessed?"

"They were also just captured. These people are silent and they don't say anything!"

At this moment, Su Xia was furious!

He pulled out his knife and pointed it at one of the bandits: "Who is your leader? Who asked you to come?"

The bandit looked at Su Xia coldly and suddenly smiled: "Our leader is Zhang Mazi!"

Su Xia snorted coldly, "Fart, Zhang Mazi still dares to come and steal my goods!"

Looking down at the shoes on his feet, Su Xia ordered: "Take off his shoes!"

The two soldiers immediately took off the bandit's shoes.

Su Xia glanced at it and said: "These cloth-covered shoes are from Yanggu County. They are not made from large spindles of textile gauze from Salmon Island. You are all wearing this, and you dare to say that you are the bandit Zhang Mazi's people." ? You are obviously bandits from Yanggu County!"

The bandit hesitated a little, "This..."

"I think you're not telling the truth!" Su Xia suddenly pulled out a knife and slashed hard.

The knife directly cut the bandit's throat, and blood spurted out immediately.

Blood sprayed on the ground, and the surrounding bandits were shocked when they saw this.

Su Xia pointed at him and said: "If you don't tell the truth, I will chop you all up and feed them to the dogs!"

After all, these bandits are not made of iron. Seeing that Su Xia is not easy to fool, they kill decisively and quickly begin to confess: "We are from Qingfeng Mountain!"

"Who is your boss?"

"Bai, Bai,, the white-faced gentleman, Zheng Tianshou!"

"Who else?"

"And Yanshun, the golden-haired tiger!"

"Who else?"

"There is another one we don't know, we just call him eldest brother. Oh, remember, he is the military commander of Yanggu County, Yun Tianbiao!"

Hearing the name Yun Tianbiao, Su Xia couldn't help but feel a headache. Yun Tianbiao, a bastard, she didn't kill him last time, but even if she gave him an advantage, he dared to cause trouble with her here.

He immediately said, "Order the Chengdu navy combat detachment to attack immediately and inform the Qingzhou magistrate, asking him to mobilize the land forbidden army to cooperate and go up the mountain to hunt down the bandits on Qingfeng Mountain!"

"At the same time, order the Pinghai Navy Cavalry Detachment to pursue me along Sun Xin's pursuit route!"

"Sir, what about the navy under Yun Tianbiao and the others? Why don't I lead my men to destroy them immediately!"

Su Xia saw that Xiong Hui on the side was indeed a little anxious.

Su Xia calmly shook his head: "It would be easy to wipe out the soldiers under Yun Tianbiao and the others, but that was in Qingzhou Prefecture, not Dengzhou. We only have an army of Cheng Haijun there. Doing so can easily cause a chain of events in Qingzhou Prefecture. Reaction, like this, now you send me people to closely monitor every move of the soldiers in Yanggu County."

After a pause, Su Xia ordered again: "If you find that Yun Tianbiao dares to go home or come in or out, he will be detained immediately!"

"Sir, Yuntian Biao is quite fierce. What if he wants to escape?"

"Then you still have to ask? Kill him on the spot."

Xiong Hui answered readily: "Yes."
