Volume 1 Chapter 110 How to Deal with Pirates and Bandits
Although Yu Dayou has also recruited and trained a private Yu family army in history, it was approved by the imperial court, and there is a military department, he doesn't have those things at this time, so he really doesn't dare to recruit private soldiers.
He hesitated for a while, but still shook his head and said: "Qingfeng, we don't need to rush this time, although the Chongwu Institute has a serious shortage of personnel, this pirate and the Japanese will not hit Hui'an for a while. ”
Fainted, isn't this the pirate going to fight, I helped you ask for a seat in the Chongwu Thousand Households.
Yang Cong said embarrassedly: "Brother Zhifu, I won't tell you, Chen Wenjie's kid is going to do it, and it will be on the fifteenth of next month." ”
"Ahh When Yu Dayou heard this, he said anxiously: "Why didn't you say earlier, how many people would Chen Wenjie probably send over, is it too late?" ”
Their trip to the Yongning Acropolis has been delayed for five or six days, plus the time for Chen Wenjie to deliver the message, it is the end of the month at this time, and there are only about 20 days left until the 15th of next month
He really regarded Yang Cong as a brother, so as soon as he heard that Yang Cong was in danger, he was more anxious than if he was in danger.
Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but be moved: "Brother Zhifu, don't worry, what Chen Wenjie wants is just a sketch of the Yang Mansion, and it is estimated that he will send a hundred people over at most." ”
His judgment was indeed correct, if Chen Wenjie wanted a sketch of Hui'an County, then at least five or six hundred people would have to be sent over, and if Yang Mansion was in the case, Chen Wenjie would send a hundred pirates at most.
He just didn't expect that Chen Wenjie invited a real wolf, which was much more powerful than a fake wolf, so he sent a total of thirty Dongying ronins.
Yu Dayou's thoughts are different again, he is the kind of person who is very stable, whether it is a pirate or a widow, he will not treat it hastily, not to mention that this is also related to Yang Cong's net worth, and he does not dare to underestimate the enemy.
He thought for a while, and then solemnly said: "For the sake of insurance, our number should be at least twice as many as theirs, and we can't recruit many people in this hurry, so let's go and recruit Master Li's apprentices and clansmen." I estimate that I can recruit about 200 people in a few days, and these people can use stick techniques, so they don't need to practice their weapons extraordinarily, and they can go into battle against the enemy after a little training of the formation. ”
Yang Cong nodded and said: "You can decide these, in short, the sooner the better, by the way, have you thought about what weapons they use, it is estimated that it is not enough to use the Qi Mei stick alone, after all, the lethality of this stick is too low." ”
The so-called one inch long and one inch strong, regardless of whether it is a real or a fake one, most of the knives used are Dongying knives or short blades similar to Japanese knives, which Yu Dayou is still relatively clear.
He thought for a moment, and then said solemnly: "Why don't you give them some spears, and the sticks should be a little longer, so that it will be difficult for the pirates and pirates to get close. ”
This guy is really material, and he can analyze each other's advantages and disadvantages in an instant, but Yang Cong is more likely than him, because he has seen Qi Jiajun's mandarin duck array in some novels!
That guy, even if he is a real widow, when he encounters the mandarin duck array of the Qi family's army, he wants to cry without tears, and there is nothing he can do.
However, some of the weapons in the Qi family's mandarin duck array are very troublesome to make, and it will definitely be too late for more than 20 days.
For example, the wolf whire, which can not be used by cutting a single bamboo, must be equipped with iron spikes at the end of each bamboo branch to increase the lethality, and it also needs to be soaked in tung oil to make it more tough, and it cannot be done in a month.
There are also examples such as the Qi family saber, ordinary pig iron materials are definitely not good, the flat blade to ensure strength, but also must be forged many times, even if it is an experienced military craftsman, according to the verbal description to build, a few months may not be able to build.
As for the musket and the tiger squat cannon, not to mention it, with the current processing capacity of Chongwu Institute or Yongningwei, even if Yang Cong knew how to build it, they would not be able to make it.
Yang Cong could only say it simply, he pretended to be an expert and said: "Brother Zhifu makes sense, these pirates and pirates basically use short blades, and there is an innate advantage in using long blades to deal with them, however, just the spear and long stick are a bit too monotonous, I think the triangular harpoon is a sharp weapon to deal with the pirates, no matter how hard they cut, the trident in front of the harpoon They must be constantly chopping, and after they cut into the trident, as long as they stir it slightly, the short blade will be stuck, When the time comes, the others are cooperating and stabbing them a few times, and they will be dead. ”
When Yu Dayou heard this, he thought about it for a while, and then couldn't help but slap his palm and praise: "This harpoon pair of short blades is indeed a rare weapon when fighting pirates and pirates, Qingfeng, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in the affairs of soldiers, powerful, really powerful." ”
Yang Cong hurriedly said modestly: "Where, where, haven't I been guarding against Chen Wenjie's sprinkling, so I have studied pirates and pirates a little, by the way, pirates and pirates are mainly naval battles, so there are more bows and arrows, which has to be guarded against." I don't think the small round shield that is now standard has much defense against the dense rain of arrows, so if you change it to a one-person-tall thick wooden shield, so that no matter how many arrows rain he has, as long as everyone stands behind the wooden shield, it will be fine. ”
In fact, the Qi family's army is equipped with a one-person high rattan shield as standard, and the rattan has also undergone special soaking, not afraid of rockets, but it is too late to make a rattan shield at this time, and this time Chen Wenjie obviously wants to engage in a sneak attack, and the possibility of those pirates and pirates bringing rockets is almost none, so a one-person tall thick wooden shield is enough.
When Yu Dayou heard this, he praised him from the bottom of his heart: "Qingfeng, you are really a genius, you can think of so much after a little research, to deal with these pirates and pirates, you really have to guard against their arrow rain, after all, no matter whether the long blade or the short blade is a melee weapon, I really ignored this long-range battle." The thick wooden shield was enough to defend against the arrows fired by the short bow, but there was a drawback, if they released rockets, the thick wooden shield would be useless. ”
Yang Cong immediately said confidently: "Brother Zhifu, don't worry, they are a sneak attack, and it is unlikely that they will bring any oil and rockets." As for how to protect against rockets, we can figure out how to do it later, and this time, I think, it should be enough to have a thick wooden shield. ”
Hearing this, Yu Dayou nodded slowly and said: "Well, it's really unlikely that a rocket will be used for a sneak attack, that's okay, so be it, I'll organize a warmaker to make harpoons and thick wooden shields, Master Li, do you want to let Tiezhu go over and say something?" ”
Yang Cong shook his head again and again and said: "This is not good, I was a little sorry for his old man last time I didn't go in person, this time, I still go in person, if Master Li is willing, I will invite him to come over and be your leader, what do you think?" ”
When Yu Dayou heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "That's naturally the best, to be honest, in terms of practicing kung fu, I'm far worse than Master Li, after all, his old man has taught apprentices for decades, and the practice is a set." ”
