Zeng Du came very timely, and his information was very important.

With so many "coalition forces", even if the weapons are backward, they are still a serious threat.

The 5,000 coalition troops, in Zeng Du's words, were "self-proclaimed to have never been so prosperous." "Shengfan himself said that they had never fought on such a large scale.

Not to mention the 5,000 fierce and barbaric Shengfan coalition troops, even if it is 5,000 pigs, it is a trouble.

The security regiment now has only 800 people, and although it is well-equipped and has fought a few times, most of them are still "new recruits".

If Shengfan really came out of the mountain after their mountain god festival, then in these two months, the recruits are almost ready to complete their training.

As long as the recruit training is completed, even if it takes 800 people and 5,000 people, the security regiment can win steadily.

But what if the coalition army goes out of the mountain ahead of schedule?

For example, this month, or even tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?

What will happen if the security team is outnumbered?

Thinking of this, Cui Xiuning couldn't help frowning.

originally thought that the destruction of three families in a row would kill chickens and monkeys and deter the group, but who knew that it would stimulate them and make them start to group with the outside world.

This does not bode well.

The generals of the security regiment who were listening on the side, when they heard Zeng Du's words, also knew that the situation was not optimistic.

The so-called "ants bite the elephant to death", there is no need to worry about it, but the number of people reaches 5,000, and it is not so easy to deal with.

"Let's all talk about countermeasures!" Cui Xiuning said.

The head of the regiment, Wanyan Hugu, stood up first and said: "Madam, my subordinates think that they should strike first, take the initiative to attack, and break each one. As Mr. Zeng said, these 5,000 people were made up by several tribes. If we take the initiative to attack in the mountains and destroy the most powerful Feather Clan first, we will have a great victory. ”

Yang Xu, the regimental supervisor, said: "Madam, my subordinates also feel that instead of letting Shengfan gather troops to go down the mountain, it is better to go to the mountain to exterminate the Yuyu clan." Once the Feather Clan is wiped out, there will be no leader, and there will be no coalition army. ”

Zhu Jaw objected: "Madam, my subordinates feel that what the head of the regiment said is not a foolproof strategy, and he has also taken some risks. Mr. Zeng Du said that this Yu clan has 3,000 strong people, which is several times that of the Mao blood clan. Moreover, the Yuyu clan is a hundred miles away from here, and most of them are rugged mountain roads. When the time comes, our army will be tired, and the enemy will be several times more than ours ......."

Zhu Jaw talked eloquently, and Hu Gu and Yang Xu both felt that they had thought simply.

Zhang Yong, the deputy of the regiment, said: "Madam, let's mobilize." ”

Cui Xiuning waved his hand, "Taking the initiative to go into the mountains and run for hundreds of miles, the risk is too great and it is not advisable." Mobilizing the people to assist in defense will delay land reclamation and agricultural work, and this year's grain output will be reduced, which is also undesirable. I'd like to hear if you have a better way. ”

Cui Xiuning had actually thought of the best way, but she didn't want to say it directly. She hoped that this method would come out of the mouths of a few of them.

Several generals frowned and thought for a long time, and soon Zhu Jaw spoke.

"Madam, the Shengfan Brigade may really come in two months, or it may come tomorrow. Therefore, it is not safe to expect the Divine Arm Bow to be made, or to expect the recruits to complete their training. The safest thing is to mobilize immediately in case of contingencies. ”

"It's just that there aren't many people, and once mobilized, it will inevitably affect the harvest. The best way is to temporarily farm and soldier system, and distribute all surplus weapons to the peasant strongmen, and they must also bring weapons when doing farm work. ”

"If he doesn't come, the peasant soldier will naturally do his farm work. Once Shengfan is coming, the peasants and soldiers of each village will immediately gather, led by their village chief, and join the security group! ”

When Cui Xiuning heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, what you said is very right." Sure enough, he is worthy of being the chief planner. Zhu Jaw said the same way she thought.

Yang Xu and Hu Gu also admired Zhu Jaw a little. The peasant and soldier system is not mobilization, but it can have the effect of mobilization without delaying the critical agricultural time, and it is indeed the most cost-effective and safest method.

Today, the security regiment has a lot of surplus weapons, enough to arm more than 1,000 peasant soldiers.

There were more than 1,000 armed peasants and soldiers auxiliary security regiments, and more than 2,000 people fought a decisive battle against 5,000 people on the plain.

"Temporarily distribute the surplus swords, guns, bows and arrows to the village chiefs, let them act as the captains of the peasant soldiers, and distribute their weapons. Even if you work in the field, you must bring weapons, and the responsibility is on the people! Cui Xiuning ordered.

"No!" Tiger Gu commanded.

In less than a day, except for the children and the old and weak, almost all the strong men of the peasant families received weapons.

Each village chief has a new position of peasant captain. The peasant soldiers were linked by their clan and neighbors, led by the village chief who had been in charge of them, and were well-armed, even if they were not formally trained.

Although the peasant soldiers are led by the village chief, they are subordinate to the security regiment and are under the unified command and dispatch of the security regiment.

With more than 1,000 peasant soldiers, Cui Xiuning felt a lot more stable.

…………

Just as Cui Xiuning was forming a peasant army, Li Luo's ship had already left the East China Sea and entered the Yellow Sea.

For five days, although there were some winds and waves at sea, there was no major problem. The three hundred elite soldiers on the ship all have iron armor, and Li Luo really wants to encounter a small group of pirates to fight a training naval battle.

Unfortunately, the pirates never met, but the officers and soldiers met twice.

They are all patrols and inspections under the command of the Yuan Army's "Mongolian Huihui Water Army Wanhu Mansion".

They boarded the ship and inspected it, and found a large amount of leather goods, and there was no doubt about the identity of the Li Luo Goryeo merchants, except for extorting some money, but there was not much to do.

It's just that Cui Xiuning didn't give him any more massage treatment, which made Li Luo, who was seasick, very uncomfortable.

At dusk on the fifth day, the ship had penetrated deep into the Yellow Sea, and finally met a pirate ship.

When the ship was still in the distance, it looked like a large merchant ship. However, it was not until he got closer that he noticed more and more men with weapons coming out of the deck, and they were fierce, and some of them were wearing armor.

The opposing ship approached directly and unscrupulously, and many pirates on the deck began to bend their bows and arrows.

Li Luo's subordinates had long thought about dealing with pirates. At this time, without Li Luo's deliberate order, he took out the iron armor and put it on as soon as possible, and then showed his weapons and rushed to the deck to line up.

There were a full three hundred of them, and the other party's group of pirates seemed to be less than three hundred, and only a few dozen of them were armoured.

If a pirate dares to do it, he is not a pirate.

Sure enough, the other party was shocked when he saw hundreds of murderous armor soldiers suddenly appear on Li Luo's ship.

There are only two or three hundred of them, how dare they fight with the elite officers and soldiers?

"Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder! ”

"The wind is high and the waves are urgent, adjust the sails!"

"Distance!"

The panicked voices of the pirates came, and a tall man on the deck with a scar on his face arched his hand at Li Luo from a distance, and said loudly: "Offended today, Shi has offended!" Please also raise your noble hand and borrow a smooth sail! ”

The pirate leader seemed to be very worried that Li Luo would "suppress the bandits".

Beside him stood a young girl wearing a hat and holding a crossbow. She looked at Li Luo with a rebellious expression, her eyes full of unwillingness.
