Thank you for the big reward, monthly pass and evaluation vote! Thank you so much! Kneel down and thank all the parents!

In terms of army reform, Chen Xiang is also working hard to promote it, and the resettlement of the military cantonment is quite smooth, but the flat land on Qiongzhou Island is too limited, and most of it is occupied by the original residents, and it is very difficult to squeeze out a lot of vacant land out of thin air.

Chen Xiang had to command the soldiers to level a few small hills and build terraces on the hills, which initially alleviated some relief.

Even so, there are still at least 20,000 people living near the fishing port, and they are sure to rely on fishing to catch the sea for their livelihood. In addition, some are placed close to the mountainous Li Miao, which seems to have some kind of deliberate traces.

Even if the officials of the household department try hard, there are still about one-third of the military cantonments that cannot be allocated land, so they can only temporarily go to the construction of new county towns and villages with the Ministry of Industry to earn some wages and temporarily support themselves.

Public toilets, squares, schools, Confucian temples, yamen, Salesian halls, hospitals and a large number of public buildings, as well as several large docks and shipyards, are also in urgent need of a large number of manpower.

These soldiers, who had fought for thousands of miles and had been killed by the Yuan army, finally lived an ordinary life in safety, and they were relieved to cherish this hard-won stable life even more, although the conditions were very difficult, but they did not have many complaints, and were willing to work diligently.

But this level of stability was soon broken.

In the middle of the night in the third month of the Song army's arrival on Qiongzhou Island, a military camp arranged to be closest to the Li Miao tribe was broken by the sudden arrival of Li and Miao warriors, killed more than 100 people, and burned down the newly established military camp, and the rest of the military camp hurriedly fled back to Qiongzhou Mansion and reported the matter to the imperial court.

Chen Xiang sneered, and immediately summoned all the 11,300 Song troops in his hands to enter the mountain, and went around claiming that he would only arrest the murderer who burned the village, and did not ask about the rest. to temporarily appease the Li Miao tribe in the distance.

According to Su Wanghai's intelligence, there are gaps between the Li and Miao tribes, and between the tribes of the two tribes, and there are also contradictions between each other. In normal times, it is also mostly hostile. It happened to be used by Chen Xiang. With this claim, the irrelevant Li Miao tribes will enter the theater mode, and will not force them to form an alliance at the beginning, causing an excited reaction.

The 1,300 elite soldiers of the Praetorian Guard walked in front, and the 10,000 ordinary soldiers behind followed into the mountains, and under the careful guidance arranged by Chen Xiang, they quickly found the nearest of the five small tribes in the vicinity where the murderer was.

The 1,300 Praetorian Guard soldiers who started the race were the strongest soldiers who had been selected by each of them, and in the course of three months, they had intensively trained the Divine Zhao Sutra, the Blood Sword Sutra and the Blood Battle Knife Technique, and the foundation of internal strength had been formed, and it would not be a problem to pick over a dozen opponents at will. Even if he pulls it to the rivers and lakes, he can be regarded as a good hand, and he has received special military training, and the equipment on his body is incomparable to that of the mountain people, so it is not a problem to deal with the enemy in the mountains and wilderness.

The equipment of the Song Dynasty army is also the best in the world. It can almost be said that it is extremely sophisticated, armed to the teeth, and compared to those Li Miao tribes who even wear grass skirts, it is more heaven and earth.

Moreover, there were less than 500 people in this tribe, but the Song army came with a whole army of 11,300 people, and surrounded the stockade with an absolutely crushing posture.

What's more, Chen Xiang personally led the team to command, and the morale was even stronger. Each attack on a stockade is a siege of three missing one, which is specially designed to shake the enemy's fighting spirit and want to escape, but at the same time, it is also a ploy to make them direct the war to other Li Miao tribes.

The battle was doomed to an unfair end from the very beginning.

Previously, the Song army was constantly defeated by the Yuan army, and the confidence in the battle was very low, and even to the point of rumors. When he heard the wind and fled, he didn't even have the courage to fight against the Yuan army, and completely lost his combat effectiveness. Even as long as they heard that the Yuan army was coming, even if there were only a dozen Mongols, they would run away with tens of thousands of Song troops. I can't afford to resist at all.

You must know that the Song army has not defeated the enemy for a long time, and it has become their subconscious instinct to escape on the battlefield to save their lives, Chen Xiang streamlined the troops and trained the elite soldiers, the purpose is to recreate a strong army, and a strong army needs to be fed with continuous victories and polished with the blood of the enemy. The enemy in the north is too strong, and the soldiers that Chen Xiang has only trained for three months are not opponents at all, so they can't be found to hone the army, so these Li Miao tribes on Qiongzhou Island who are not obedient to education and weak have become the best choice for Chen Xiang to train his troops.

Now Chen Xiang wants to get back the combat effectiveness of this unit and completely solve the problem of the Li people.

Chen Xiang personally led the army, with his own guards as the sharpest, and quickly attacked this Li tribe of less than 500 people, killed more than 30 strong mountain people, and captured the wall in one fell swoop! And on the Song army's side, no one died, only two people were slightly injured! Moreover, under the influence of the Divine Illumination Sutra, the wound was quickly closed, which did not affect their combat effectiveness at all!

On the other hand, this Li tribe, which had not received special military training, saw that the wall had been breached, and immediately fled from the fourth wall, which was not surrounded, and hurriedly fled to the surrounding Li tribe.

The ordinary troops after the elite troops also took advantage of the situation to cover up, and for the first time they felt the refreshing feeling of fighting a smooth battle! If it weren't for the fact that the little emperor had set up a military law team and forbade soldiers to kill prisoners of war, they would have wanted to make their swords and axes bloody!

The Li tribe has no good guns, but these Li people are all escorted away by the troops behind, men over the age of 12 are in the army, and the old and weak women and children are all punished as official slaves and pulled down to the mountain, and the cottage in this valley, because there is still some flat land around it for farming, so a military camp of nearly 1,000 people was arranged to occupy it here.

After tasting the joy of victory, Chen Xiang rewarded the guards who had made meritorious contributions in the first battle on the spot, and the yellow, orange, and orange gold and the emperor's special medal were hung on the armor, which made the surrounding soldiers feel envious! And in this way, the morale of the entire Praetorian Guard has been greatly boosted!

Taking advantage of this momentum, Chen Xiang immediately took the Praetorian Guards and those Song soldiers who were watching the show, and chased them all the way forward! Break down several tribes that have taken in the remnants of the murderer's tribe, causing the escaped enemies to flee to the surrounding tribes like a chain reaction!

In the case of the good momentum of the Song army, Chen Xiang divided the Praetorian Guard into three divisions, leading the main force of 700 people himself, and the other two divisions were Tu Lidan and Li Changde, who had blue luck, each led 300 people, and the Song army was also divided into three divisions to follow separately, and advanced towards the Wuzhi Hill in Qiongzhou Island.

Along the way, because the Li Miao tribe is usually fighting separately, the division is weak, and the Song army is a well-trained army, so the scene is usually one-sided, but in half a month, half a hill area of Qiongzhou Island, more than 100,000 Li Miao tribes have all fallen into the hands of the Song army, and the terrain is dangerous, and the place where there is more flat land is occupied by the Song army's military tun, and the dock fort is built to defend.

The Song army advanced very quickly, so that those Li Miao tribes did not have time to assemble in tandem with each other, giving the Song army a chance to break through one by one, and when the people of the Li and Miao tribes wanted to resist, the momentum was completely suppressed. More than 20 days later, the remaining dozen or so small tribes, under the leadership of the last two big tribes, the Baisha Department and the east, hurriedly gathered 30,000 elite men, in the Maoyang ditch under the Parrot Ridge, relying on the wall of the original village, trying to resist the edge of the Song army.

When the soldiers of the Song army saw that the number of enemies had reached more than 30,000 people, occupying the entire valley that was so wide, the momentum of the advance was slightly reduced, and those soldiers felt a little hesitant.

Chen Xiang sneered, and also commanded the encampment, and arranged for Tu Lidan to lead 3,000 people to occupy the remaining vein of Parrot Ridge on the left, and Li Changde to lead 3,000 people to occupy the remaining vein of Wuzhi Mountain on the right, which also formed a situation of encirclement on three sides for these 30,000 people.

More than 11,000 people surround more than 30,000? I'm afraid that this kind of thing will make people laugh to death if they say it, but they are really born in front of these Song soldiers, and they finally understand that not only themselves will be afraid, but even the enemy will be afraid! And judging from the previous battles, it seems that his side has the upper hand!

After figuring out this verse, they felt better and felt much more comfortable!

Through previous battles, Chen Xiang transferred all the soldiers and officers with outstanding performance in the ordinary army into the Praetorian Guard, and promoted the soldiers and officers with good performance in the Praetorian Guard to the ordinary army.

This war was not only a battle for the Song army to get rid of the shadow of defeat, but also a battle for Chen Xiang to establish his authority in the army! After this war is over, Chen Xiang not only has to pull out an elite army that dares to fight, kill and win, but also firmly grasp this army in his own hands!

And this goal has been consolidated and implemented after every single battle victory, after every battle victory, Chen Xiang will feel that the influence of the apocalyptic dragon qi on his head is weaker, and the luck of those soldiers and officers who were originally infected by death qi has also begun to return to normal, so that Chen Xiang has promoted a lot of talents!

In this process, the military spirit with Chen Xiang as the core also began to condense preliminarily! By killing the Li Miao tribe, which was weaker than the Song army, the Song army's luck was finally replenished!
