The Qi army on Xishan Island also knew about the great victory of the Jieyi Army Navy. Both the Qi army's official and local tyrants on Xishan Island understood that they were not opponents of the Jieyi Army Navy.
Therefore, the government officials on Xishan Island, the powerful people were very profitable to Qin Shou, who was responsible for attacking here, and hoped that the Jieyi Navy could maintain its current relationship with Xishan Island. Let’s not talk about the Jieyi Navy’s mission this time is to take it down.
This place must be won. Even if the other party promises great profits, Qin Shouyi cannot guarantee that the other party will definitely agree.
Therefore, Qin Shouyi refused the heavy benefits promised by the rulers of Xishan Island without hesitation, and asked Xishan Island to surrender to the Jieyi Navy immediately. However, Xishan Island strongly rejected Qin Shouyi's proposal, and both sides furthermore
The formal battle began.
Because in addition to the Qi army on Xishan Island, there are also water bandits involved. Therefore, the primary goal of the Jieyi Army is to them. The nests of these water bandits are all on the edge of Xishan Island, and they are also
Or on the surrounding islands. Their strength is not as good as the three troops that were won over by the Qi army Yan Mingfeng. How can they be the opponent of the Jieyi Army Navy?
Although only half of the Jiyi Navy Navy was involved in this operation, these were all regular naval forces. Moreover, most of these water bandits were assisting in defense on Xishan Island, and their nests were empty. As a result, some of the Jiyi Navy Navy was
The southeast of Xishan Island was preparing to land, and some of them raided the nests of these three water bandits that had been found by the Jieyi Army. Needless to say, these three water bandits have completely become history.
Of course, it is not that the Jieyi Navy wiped out all these three water bandits. This is also impossible. After all, most of the water bandit soldiers are on the island. But for the water bandits, there are no warships.
, Can they still call water bandits? Therefore, these water bandits can only be called bandits in the future.
After defeating the Qi Navy Navy, the Jieyi Navy once again showed its fangs, which was also known to other water bandits. At this moment, they also received the order from the Jieyi Navy to surrender within a specified period of time.
There are probably few people who are willing to surrender. Except for those who are originally water bandits who are willing to become water bandits, who are looking forward to the right path, or those who are not developing smoothly and even survive are problems.
In addition, the other water bandit leaders were afraid that they would not be willing to surrender to the Jieyi Army Navy.
But then again, since the rise of the navy of the Yi army and the Qi army began to fight over Taihu waters, the caravans that traveled to and from Taihu waters have become increasingly rare. Whether it is the merchants from the north and south of the Qi army, or the west of the Qi army, or
Whether it was the trade between the Qi army and the Jieyi army, the traffic between the Qi army and the Jieyi army was frightened by the tension between the two sides of the Taihu Lake waters.
After all, they are bold in their daily lives. Even when the Qi army's official government strictly prohibits it, they still dare to go between the Qi army and the Jieyi army, but at this moment, they dare not act rashly anymore. Both sides are
The army is an army that is about to fight. Once it is encountered, who knows what will happen?
Therefore, all the bandits in the Taihu waters have begun to become embarrassed now. Those powerful people who occupy the lake area but their nests are on the land are better. These bandits are just a kind of way to make money or protect themselves.
It is just a means, not the only one. However, the current situation of the water bandits who occupy the islands in the lake and rely on looting and confiscating caravans to make a living is much more difficult. Except for those occupying larger islands, they can either be located on the islands.
The above are to cultivate farmland and be self-sufficient. Those water bandits who occupy the island and make a living from caravans will suffer much.
Therefore, with the arrival of the Jieyi Army, some water bandits actually maintained it. Other water bandits were somewhat affected by the Jieyi Army and Qi Army's dispute in the waters of Taihu Lake.
It is precisely because some water bandits' nests are close to the land, and because some water bandits are organized by powerful people on the land around Taihu Lake. For example, the Li family in Donglou Town where Hu Le had surrendered before and Xinqiao Town where Hu Le was destroyed.
The Xu family is all local tyrants. When they pull up water bandits, they can not only obtain some illegal income, but also provide protection for themselves in addition to protecting the transportation caravans they travel to. After all, in troubled times, they have food and soldiers in their hands, but they don’t feel like they are in their hearts.
Worry?
Behind the three water bandits on Xishan Island are private soldiers raised by the powerful men of Xishan Island. It is also because of this that these water bandits gave up their advantages in the water, landed ashore, and assisted local governments in defending Xishan Island.
When the First Town of the Jieyi Navy launched an operation against Xishan Island, the surrounding water bandits who received the Jieyi Navy's order to surrender within a specified period were paying attention to the Jieyi Navy's actions here. If the Jieyi Navy's water division was in charge of the Jieyi Navy's water division, the water division around them was paying attention to the Jieyi Navy's actions.
Taking Xishan Island, then in the central area of Taihu Lake, the Jieyi Army has already had an enemy. And they have chosen again. If the Jieyi Army cannot take this place, then the Jieyi Army will have an enemy here. And for these
For the water bandits, they had one more choice.
Although Xishan Island is quite large and the Qi army also dispatched soldiers, there were no civil servants like county magistrates here. Of course, there was no population of a county above the land. However, this place was dominated by Dayan in the past.
Next, after the Taihu Water Department inspected the garrison, after being taken over by the Qi army, there were thousands of people stationed here as the Qi army's rule. After all, this place is also a place under the Qi army's rule, and we cannot give up and ignore it.
The garrison of Xishan Island, Meng Shan, was a garrison commander under the Qi army. At the same time, he was also the head of the Meng family, a powerful man from Xishan Island. Of course, the Meng family gradually became the No. 1 in Xishan Island after Meng Shan was stationed here for several years.
A powerful man.
When Meng Shan learned that the Jieyi Navy defeated the water bandits recovered by Yan Mingfeng, he immediately knew that the situation was not good. Yan Mingfeng was recruiting these water bandits, and many of the materials were transported to him.
Where the water bandits. Since the main force of the Jieyi Army naval commander has arrived, how can he, Xishan Island, hanging alone in Taihu Lake, be out of trouble?
Sure enough, after hearing the news that Yan Mingfeng's troops were defeated, before he could report these information to Suzhou Prefecture, the navy of the Jieyi Army appeared in front of him. The connection between Xishan Island and Suzhou Prefecture was also
It was officially blocked by the Jieyi Army Navy.
Meng Shan immediately ordered his soldiers to prepare for defense, and also greeted several other powerful men who were dominating on Xishan Island and asked them to assist in the defense. These powerful men knew very well that if the Jieyi Army took over this Xishan Island, then they
These people will not have good results. Not only will they lose their families and money, but their actions on Xishan Island over the years will also become an excuse for the Jieyi Army Navy to take them into action.
You know, the Jie Yi Army claims to be the Rebel Army, and they implement the Zhao army system, so powerful people like them are the targets of the Jie Yi Army's removal. Therefore, after Monsanto greeted them, they
The three water bandits immediately began to participate in the defense work. The three water bandits were private soldiers led by three more powerful powerful men on Xishan Island. Now the Jieyi army has reached the doorstep, so they don’t care about the warships.
, all retreated to the island, ready to guard against the attack of the Jiyi Navy.
"Three days, less than three days, to be precise, two days. Our naval forces were destroyed by the Jieyi Navy. Our warships have now become the spoils of the Jieyi Army.
"In Meng Mansion, a man said to several others with a heavy face, "The offensive of the Jieyi Army is very strong now. Although it has not started to land on the island yet, judging from their previous offensive, it is very difficult for us to defend."
Meng Shan, who was about 30 years old, sat on the master's seat with a calm expression on his face. After hearing what the head of the Wang family said, he said in a deep voice: "If you lose, you will lose. After all, we have already used most of the three water bandits' powers.
The Navy of Jieyi Army was already determined to attack here, so our current goal is to establish a line of defense on the island. In addition to the landing of the dock, in this center, we
We must also continue to increase the recommended city.”
"In addition, I hope you will contribute all the various bows and crossbows that you keep in your home to defend the city. If you cannot keep it here, even if you hide more things in private, you will be able to save the rebel army in the end. If we
If you can stand here and not be conquered by the Jieyi Navy, money will always come back to us. If Suzhou Prefecture hears the news and supports it, after the army arrives, you will be meritorious ministers."
"Person Meng, do you think, will Suzhou Prefecture send reinforcements? Also, we have lost contact with Suzhou Prefecture. Will Suzhou Prefecture know about our situation? If the Jieyi Army will kill us on the island,
Suzhou Prefecture just got the news, it would be too late." A middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure asked anxiously.[
Upon hearing this, Meng Shan felt anxious and immediately said in a deep voice: "Suzhou Prefecture will definitely know the news. The people sent by the Qi army and the water bandits they recruited were killed and defeated by the Jieyi army. How could they not know?
But I don’t believe that there are no spies from Qi in the surrounding waters. Therefore, it is urgent to keep the island in our hands. Otherwise, even if reinforcements arrive and we lose it, it will be useful."
Although Monsan seemed relatively calm, he knew in his heart that it would be quite difficult to stay here and wait for reinforcements. It can be said that the possibility of waiting for reinforcements was very small. Without the power to defeat the Jiyi Navy,
Xishan Island is an isolated city. Is the current Qi army capable of defeating the Jieyi Navy? Monsanto was very suspicious of this.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the garrison here, if it weren't for the fact that he was the largest tyrant on Xishan Island, if it weren't for the rise of the Meng family, he would have done something uncommon, I'm afraid he had already surrendered to the Jieyi Army.
"Sir, do you think this is OK? As far as we know, while taking action against us, the Jieyi Army began to force other water bandits to surrender within a time limit. However, because we are already officially hostile here, the Jieyi Army will be on the deadline.
It was slightly delayed. However, for these water bandits, they definitely did not want the Jieyi Army to win, and they were even more willing to surrender the Jieyi Army."
"So, can we let these water bandits help us defend this place? After all, if we win, they have another choice and will not be forced to surrender by the Jieyi Navy. In addition, we can also promise,
Let them replenish supplies here. These water bandits have money in their hands, but without food, no matter how rich they have, it is useless."
"In addition, Shentu Xiong, who is now stationed in Suzhou Prefecture, also wants to form a navy in the waters of Taihu Lake to fight against the increasingly powerful Jieyi Navy. We will bring these water bandits over and let them fight against the Jieyi Army, which is also forcing them to do so.
Choose our Qi army. In this way, it will not only solve the problem of Xishan Island, but also make great contributions to the Qi army in fighting against the Jieyi Army." He Yongfeng, the head of the He family, who was second only to the Meng family, suggested in a deep voice.
For He Yongfeng, like Mengshan, he did not want this Xishan Island to be captured by the Jieyi Army. Because of this, he buried the water bandits he had worked hard to pull up. In order to build a ship that has always protected the He family, he has been escorting the He family.
Team, he has invested a lot of money in it. Although several other companies have also invested, how can he compare to him? Despite this, in order to protect Xishan Island and to prevent his family business from flying back and forth, he only
The part that could give up the side branches was also because of these water bandits. He thought of using other water bandit teams to come to the enemy army of Jieyi.
After hearing He Yongfeng's words, Meng Shan was stunned and was immediately overjoyed. If what He Yongfeng said could be realized, then there would be no problem in his hands to defend Xishan Island. Even if
Some of them came over and could also make them more than ten thousand soldiers. As for winning over the navy for Shentu Xiong and let him go to the ghosts, his mission of Mengshan was to defend this Xishan Island and protect the Meng family.
"Okay, this method is feasible! Immediately ask someone to contact all the water bandits and tell them that if they don't want to be annexed by the Jieyi Army, don't want to throw away the property in their hands, and don't want to turn from a superior to a soldier under others, then come to our West Mountains
The island assists us in defending this place. After the Jieyi Navy retreats, we allow them to purchase supplies on Xishan Island. As long as they do not rob the merchant ships from our Xishan Island, Xishan Island is their backing and their logistics base.
”
Mengshan's army ordered and immediately arranged people to contact these water bandits. Now the Jieyi Army has destroyed the three water bandits related to them in the waters of Taihu Lake. They are digesting the results of the war and are asking for details on Xishan Island.
, there is not much time left for him Monsanto.
The Jieyi Navy was indeed investigating the situation on Xishan Island at this moment, destroying three water bandits, seizing dozens of warships, and even thousands of surrendered soldiers. However, Qin Shouyi also learned from these surrendered soldiers that they and Xishan Island were
With the relationship between the powerful, we also know that Xishan Island has now mobilized the powerful and ready to defend the enemy.
Through inquiry, Qin Shouyi also found that the strength of Xishan Island was greater than he expected. In addition to the one thousand Qi army soldiers, there were also one thousand five hundred young and strong.
The young and strong are actually private soldiers trained by Xishan Island Captain Meng Shan. Moreover, they are trained in the regular combat soldiers mode. They are even more brave than combat soldiers. After all, the Qi army's combat soldiers belong to the Qi army.
Power, but this thousand five hundred young and strong are the private soldiers of the Meng family, and it is the power of Monsan. It is also the existence of these thousand five hundred private soldiers that Monsan can surpass the various on Xishan Island.
The powerful clan.
Moreover, with the help of Mengshan training to defend the young and strong Xishan Island, as the reserve of war soldiers, it was time for these more than 1,500 Meng's private soldiers to equip them with the standard armor and equipment of the Qi army.
On Xishan Island, in addition to these more than 2,500 soldiers, other powerful men also activated their hidden strength, making the guardians of Xishan Island more than 6,000, nearly 7,000. Moreover, they
It is also equipped with a strong bow and crossbow, and has a private weapon casting workshop.
After obtaining this news, Qin Shouyi took down the power of the three bandits left in the lake, and after a simple test, he did not immediately take a full-scale attack. Qin Shouyi arranged for his soldiers to continue landing.
The wharf took an offensive and threatening force, and reported these situations to Li Qingping of Leishan Island.
"I thought it would be a simple thing to take this place, but I didn't expect that this place was still a tough one." Li Qingping, who received Qin Shouyi's report, couldn't help but say coldly.
"Apart from monitoring the cracks of the bandits, the rest of the people in the first town rushed to Xishan Island to meet with the second town. Since this is a hard bone, then smash him hard to make the surrounding area
The water bandits in the waters knew that surrendering to the navy of the Yi army was their only choice.” Then Li Qingping made a decision and prepared to concentrate his strength and take down the place.
"Governor, since this is the case, why not let these water bands that we have surrendered before also participate in it? These water bandits have good combat capabilities. What they need is the military and laws and regulations of our military and military discipline and cooperation with each other.
Training is not as good as actual combat. Let them mix with our men and let them take a good look at how to fight." Li Ziran suggested to Li Qingping.
After pondering for a moment, Li Qingping smiled and said, "It's good, so that they can integrate into our Jieyi Navy more quickly. In addition, their joining us can also enhance our strength and
Let the loss ratio of our direct troops reduce. How to say, the old soldiers in the first and second towns are our direct forces. And these newly recruited water bandits, especially the three water bandits who surrendered before, are right.
Our cohesion is still much worse.”
"After this battle, our generals had a lot of surrendered soldiers. We had already integrated these surrendered soldiers into our country, and we could better train our rebel army naval forces in the future. We could expand rapidly, if we could not be very good.
If they are integrated with our people, there will inevitably be some problems."
"General Li, I'll leave this new soldier who is being trained. After taking it, I'll mix it up like a group of people from the two towns, and let them follow our people to learn the combat methods of the regular navy."
