Lord of the House

(On the occasion of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, it is more common to wish all brothers and sisters a happy New Year!)

A small group of bandits entrenched in the stone house in the village, resisted and refused to surrender, making the battle to seize the village raging until dawn. Finally, they took pots filled with kerosene from the broken wall and threw them into the fire, igniting more than twenty people. The robbers were burned to death, and the war ended.

Due to the strong will of resistance of the pirate soldiers who were defending the stronghold on Dayangshan Island, less than 50 people surrendered their weapons in the end, and most of the pirates died in battle. .

The accumulated salary is a raft. Twenty-one soldiers who sacrificed in the battle to seize the fortress were wrapped in white and arranged on the raft. They were pushed into the sea, and they were cremated. The beacon of the sea in the mist.

After the sea burial ceremony was over, the generals dispersed and performed their duties. Lin Fu put on the hood, fastened the leather cord under his chin, and stared at the distant fire raft. The corpse would eventually burn to ashes and be sprinkled into the sea. This kind of war may be regarded as a great victory by others, but Lin Fu still feels that such casualties are very heavy. In the future, the patrol of the Jinghai battalion will be the norm, and small-scale battles will occur frequently, with nearly 100 casualties at every turn. consumption is very large.

Song Bo and Wang Chengfu both felt the atmosphere was solemn. Looking at the expressions in the eyes of the generals around them, the death in front of them did not weaken their courage and fighting spirit. It seemed that the soldiers of the Jiangdong Zuo Army could more easily overcome the fear brought by death.

Making generals forget their lives has been an important criterion for measuring a strong army since ancient times.

Although the Jiangdong Zuo Army recruited refugees and rushed into the army, the four victories in Yannan may have a direct relationship with Lin Fu himself, the most outstanding literati general who has risen since Li Zhuo in recent years, but it cannot be denied that today's Jiangdong Zuo Army has grown into the world. Some are brilliant.

When Song Bo was in Jinan, he had contact with the Jiangdong Zuo Army. After the Jiangdong Zuo Army entered Yannan and created four victories and four victories, he made a serious analysis of the Jiangdong Zuo Army. It is a rare opportunity to observe Jiangdong Zuojun up close.

Although the Jiangdong Zuo Army recruited refugees to form an army, there were a large number of excellent military attachés, which was the fundamental reason why the Jiangdong Zuo Army was able to erupt into a powerful force after forming an army in a short period of time.

Today, Zhou Pu, Ao Canghai, Zhao Qingshan, Cao Ziang, Ning Zechen, Zhou Tongtong and the main generals of the Jiangdong Left Army are also widely known.

Ao Canghai was originally a general under Chen Zhihu, Zhao Qingshan had always been the main general of the Lin Clan's township camp, and Zhou Tong was also a young general of the Jinzhong Army. It is not surprising that the three of them were good at leading troops, but Zhou Pu, Cao Zi'ang, Ning Zechen was from a refugee background, but he also became the core general of the Jiangdong Left Army of Lin Bieyizhong. If there is no secret behind it, it can only be said that Lin Bie recruits more talents than others.

The Jiangdong Zuo Army immediately marched north after Jiangning became an army, and when they arrived in Jinan, they dared to roam the field with the minority captives, and their performance was even better than the ordinary Zhenfu Army. To achieve this in a short period of time, it is very difficult to rely on only five or six generals who are good at leading troops. In addition to Lin Fu's long-term training in the people's bravery at the Jiangning Estuary and Xisha Island, there should also be a group of loyalists long ago. , trust in his grass-roots military attache.

As for the situation of the Jiangdong Left Army, outsiders can only speculate that when Lin Fu served as a prison officer in Jiangning, he trained a group of excellent grass-roots military officers in the two small-scale armed forces of the prison guards and Jiyun Wuwei. After recruiting refugees into an army, the Jiangdong Zuo Army quickly grew into an elite division.

The Jiangdong Zuo Army had 3,000 generals and generals, but Song Bo knew that the actual number of Jiangdong Zuo's troops far exceeded the number of nuclear personnel. The patrol fleet alone had nearly 2,000 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, and it was impossible for Lin Fu to stay only A thousand troops guard his stronghold.

Song Bo estimated that the strength of the Jiangdong Left Army should be more than 6,000, which is comparable to the strength of Dongyang Xiangyong and the new Jin Navy.

*************

This is the case. Lin Bie first went aboard to see the medics on board to treat the wounded, and then went ashore to see how the battlefield was cleaned up and the results of the battle were counted.

This is the outpost of East China Sea pirates. There are more than 300 pirates in the two stockades of Yangshan Island and Da Yangshan. They are all direct descendants of She Feixiong, who goes by the alias of Yuan Tingdong, Donghai Harrier. That's why they resist so fiercely. There are only 80 soldiers in total. One pirate soldier abandoned his weapons and surrendered, and nearly 230 pirate soldiers died in battle.

Except for hundreds of stone grains, hundreds of soldiers, and a few pirate ships that were too late to withdraw, nothing else was captured. These seizures could not make up for the loss of the Jiangdong Zuo Army's patrol this time, and they were only better than the Yuan; if they could not loot the area, the Jiangdong Zuo Army had to establish a complete supply system in Chongzhou.

Lin Fu climbed up the hill to the south of Dayangshan Island and looked at the terrain left and right. At the southern edge of the field of vision, there were two Kou Bing sentry ships. The hull of this kind of sentry ship is slender like a shuttle, with its head and tail tilted up, and it can not carry a few people with the waves. Shuo Gong ships are more convenient to turn in at sea than huge warships. Not only East Sea pirates, but also local navigators in coastal prefectures also use them as sentry ships.

It is also unclear whether the two pirate sentinels were sent from Daheng Island or from Tushan or Daishan Islands. Lin Fu was not worried about the aid of East China Sea bandits. Zhai has a much larger advantage.

The two pirate sentry ships stared at this side from a distance, very vigilant. Seeing that there were warships chasing here, they set sail early to avoid it. Lin Fu was too lazy to pay attention to the two pirate sentry ships. In the distance, there were eight or nine small islands scattered on the sea within a range of about twenty kilometers, and they surrounded Dayangshan Island together with Xiaoyangshan Island.

Lin Fu pointed to the stockade in the mountain and asked Song Bo and Wang Chengfu, "You watched the battle last night, and if you came to guard Dayangshan Island, what would you do?"

Song Bo pondered, not willing to answer Lin Fu's question of a comparative nature, Wang Chengfu said: "The stronghold built by the East China Sea bandits is located in a low and flat location, facing the sea on one side, and vulnerable to the enemy on three sides, so it could not be used effectively. The mountains on the island are steep and steep - if it was me, I built a village in front of Yazikou, facing the sea on both sides and leaning on the mountain on the other side. Only the narrow valley road in the northeast is convenient for entry and exit, and the village is easy to defend. Even if there are ten enemies who seize the island. However, if you cannot deploy troops in front of the fortress, you will not be able to launch a fierce offensive, and defending the fortress will be much easier... The people who are responsible for building a stronghold here from the East China Sea pirates have not thought about it comprehensively."

"Perhaps it wasn't because the consideration wasn't comprehensive enough," Lin Fu said. "The stockade at the foot of the mountain was a village in the past. To cultivate crops, the village must be built in a low leeward and flat place. Twenty years ago, Ma Kui, a great thief who traversed the seas of Shengsi, was a village. Santu Dayangshan Island, used the village to build a stronghold, and then after the luxury family controlled the East China Sea bandits, the time was also short, using the old village to reinforce and build an outpost is always more convenient and labor-saving than building a new village in a steep place. It's not that the family can't see the benefits of the rugged terrain, but the resources in their hands are limited. It is impossible to invest a lot of resources in every stronghold to choose a rugged place to build a strong fortress. Brother Song, do you think this is the case?"

Song Bo sighed slightly and said, "Lord Lin is very knowledgeable. How can Song Bo tell Mr. Lin?" He thought to himself: The she family's control of the East China Sea bandits is the biggest threat to the Jiangdong Zuo Army. It is not surprising that the luxury family understands so deeply.

Wang Chengfu boldly suggested: "Chengfu feels that the Jiangdong Zuo Army can take the risk to build a strong new village, and the old village is a corner of each other. "

Lin Fu smiled slightly and said lightly, "Maybe..." He didn't mind Wang Chengfu's words, but he didn't agree.

Wang Chengfu's suggestion also has some truth. As long as there is enough manpower and material resources to invest, it is not difficult to build a dangerous village on the cliff, facing the sea on both sides and the mountain on the other side. If hundreds of elites are stationed, they can defend Dayangshan Island. .

Dayangshan Island lacks deep bay mouths that can hide warships. It is simple to build outposts and garrison military villages on Dayangshan Island, but it cannot be built as a naval base. In the vast sea, there are hundreds of elites who have more than enough guards on the island. Without warships, they cannot go to sea to fight, and they have no ability to go out to attack, so the restriction on the entry and exit of East China Sea bandits is very limited.

Although the garrison on Dayangshan Island could transmit the beacon fire warning message in time when the pirate ships entered the sea area of ​​Shengsi, the Shuiying boat division would take a long time to arrive from Chongzhou, unless the Jinghai division could establish a base on the east coast of Haiyu County to station a large army. The sea route is only 60 to 70 miles away. When the wind is favorable, the navigator dispatches to help. It only takes an hour or two to effectively limit the activities of the East China Sea bandits in this sea area.

Compared with Dayangshan Island, Lin Fu is more interested in Daheng Island.

Daheng Island is the main island of the Shengsi Islands~www.wuxiaspot.com~ straddles the sea east of Haiyu County, stretching for more than 20 miles from east to west. Boat division water camp base. Daheng Island is deep and wide, and has sufficient fresh water. In addition to stationing more troops, it can also immigrate to the island to grow grain.

The island chain of the entire Shengsi Archipelago unfolds in an east-west direction, with dozens of large and small islands, extending from the nearshore to the eastern sea area for a width of 300 miles. Only by forming a blockade zone can effectively restrict East China Sea bandits from entering the Shengsi waters.

If the East China Sea pirate fleet wants to cross the Shengsi waters and head north, it has to detour from the far sea, while the East China Sea pirate fleet, which is mainly based on loach ships, is much more risky than going to the near sea.

It's just that it's not the time to storm Daheng Island.

First, when the Jiangdong Zuo Army has not yet reached the strategic expansion stage, the foundation of Chongzhou is not solid enough. For a long time in the future, the main energy will still be used/operated in Chongzhou. Even if the Daheng Island is captured, there are not too many resources. It is used to build the boat division water base of Daheng Island.

Second, Daheng Island has been the main base for East China Sea pirates for decades, and the luxury family also pays special attention to the operation of Daheng Island. It does not yet have the conditions for a strong attack on Daheng Island.

Lin Fu couldn't tell Wang Chengfu about these kinds of considerations, but Wang Chengfu had no actual military experience, and he didn't know the situation of Jiangdong Zuo Army and Chongzhou. It was very good to have such advice.

At this time, three Wu Peng ships appeared in the western waters, entered the cordon of the patrol fleet, contacted the outer sentry ships, and then the sentry ships signaled a request to approach. Lin Fu thought to himself: Could it be that Haiyu County came out cruise ship? My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
