Xu Shiyang felt that the war on Rizhao's side was not as light as he just said, but it was not too erosive.

There were a lot of them, and there were so many people and boats that they wouldn't have left without making some achievements.

But the Wazi are not Tartars, and they are far worse than the Han pirates who wandered in the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong in the south, and it is impossible for them to fight for their own lives for a while.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, the battle over there would have been a stalemate.

As for the reinforcements ...... the surrounding areas, the strongest force recently is actually the Xu family army, and even if other dock forts in Rizhao County and nearby can make up a few thousand Ding Zhuang, they may not dare to fight with the Wazi field.

After all, the militia of Fort Dock usually only has a certain combat effectiveness when defending, and without a backbone, they can't even unify their orders.

The result of fighting separately is likely to be broken by each one.

No, it is more likely that all the militia gathered and watched the Japanese besiege Rizhao Harbor.

The people's hearts are not aligned, which is also one of the important reasons why the barbarians of the Quartet can run rampant.

Xu Shiyang believed that naval battles should not be mentioned first, and in a war on land, as long as one supporting army shows strong combat effectiveness and let others see the possibility of victory, the reinforcements that have already arrived in Rizhao, Juzhou, Zhucheng, Yizhou, and other places will be able to rush forward and tear the landed widows to pieces.

They only need a leader, a flag, or rather, a hero.

Xu Shiyang thinks that he can be this hero.

In fact, this is also in line with Xu Muhe's intentions, if he can succeed, he can be said to be 100 soldiers to break 5,000 widows, or even break 10,000, which is enough for Xu Shiliu to go to Jiangnan to enroll.

It's just that the danger is not small, there should not be 5,000 people, but 3 or 4,000 are indispensable, and his two sons are in the army, and if something goes wrong, his line will be extinct.

"Shi Yang, this matter has to be discussed in the long run." Xu Muhe thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't dare to bet: "For my father, I would rather the city of Rizhao be broken and the fleet be plundered, than that your brother is ......in danger." ”

Xu Muhe really didn't want his two sons to take risks, but Xu Shiyang didn't allow any mistakes in his thousand-stone grain.

If he could not bring back the food of the fleet, all the military training this year would have to end here, and before the autumn harvest, his soldiers would not be able to go anywhere, so they would all stay at home and watch the door.

The foundation is still too thin, so that the grain storage can affect Xu Shiyang's strategic planning.

In other words, all of Xu Shiyang's plans now are formulated around the number of grain stocks.

"Father, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Xu Shiyang said eagerly: "The child only brought these soldiers this time, just to make a quick decision!" Don't delay now! ”

Xu Muhe hesitated again, he was reluctant to take risks with his two sons, and he was reluctant to defeat the reputation of thousands of widows, don't forget, in the big cake painted by Xu Shiyang, there is also Xu Muhe who regained the lost land and became the state capital.

"Fifth brother." Xu Shiyang turned his head to look at his younger brother who was standing beside his father, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you dare to go with my brother to see what the widow looks like?" ”

"Whew!"

When Xu Shiliu heard this, he felt a little harsh, what do you mean to follow you? It's obvious that Lao Tzu is going by himself!

"Third brother, let's go now?"

After all, it is a family, and feudal morality does not allow the younger brother to blow up the stab with the elder brother, but Xu Shiliu's tone was full of disdain for the Japanese cowards, and it was obvious that Xu Shiyang's words just now had stimulated his self-esteem.

"Get the food and go immediately!"

"Good!" Xu Shiyang shouted, turned around and bowed deeply to Xu Muhe: "Father, please let me and my brother attack and raise my Xu family's tiger might!" ”

Xu Muhe suddenly had a feeling that his son had grown up and his father couldn't take care of it, and his heart was empty, very uncomfortable, but a little proud.

'Okay! Since your child is going to have a run on their own, let them give it a try! ’

"Wait an hour, and the food will be ready in no time!"

Xu Muhe made up his mind:

"I'll gather the soldiers in my fort, and then call Luan Tingyu and Sun Li, and let them go with you!"

"Lord Luan Bao and Lord Sun Bao are also here?" Xu Shiyang asked.

"Yes, they arrived a little before you and are resting in the fort now."

"Then please father call them, and bring with them the mounted infantry they have trained, and bring five days' rations." Xu Shiyang was also not polite, and said happily: "Other people don't have to follow, and they can't keep up." ”

"As long as their own soldiers?" Xu Muhe confirmed.

"That's right! Don't let anyone else follow. ”

……

An hour later, Xu Shiyang's troops were reinforced with 23 (20 militiamen on horsebacks plus Luan Tingyu, Sun Li, and Xu Shiliu), and the troops were reactivated.

"This is the last rest!"

Xu Shiyang was at the front of the team, shouting loudly:

"If you feel physically exhausted, you can raise your hand to report, I will allow you to rest in the cart for a while, but we will not wait to be left behind!"

"Still have questions?"

Immediately, a high-spirited reply came from among the soldiers:

"Nope!"

"Excellent! Remember, I will always be ahead of you! Xu Shiyang then shouted: "Now, all of them, follow me!" ”

"Forward, forward!"

The team of more than one hundred and thirty people, like a huge python, began to accelerate to the south, accelerated, and accelerated .......

……

Nojiri Masakawa sat on a large rock and nibbled on a moldy rice ball with salted fish.

The rice balls had been sitting for a long time and smelled stinky, but he still ate happily, as if he were tasting the best sea bream at the best brothel in Osaka Castle.

Of course, Nojiri has never eaten sea bream, nor has he ever entered a brothel in Osaka Castle.

He was only the second son of a low-ranking samurai, and with his family's allegiance to the daimyo already wiped out, Nojiri had to choose between being a ronin and a pirate in the sea.

Eventually, he took the latter path, and after more than a decade of fighting, he was given a small morning boat.

This small early is the biggest asset that Nojiri has owned in the past 30 years of his life, and it is also the biggest capital for him to eat salted fish every day when he has rice balls.

That's right, even if it's a pirate, not everyone has a rice ball to eat, even if it's a moldy rice ball.

For example, ......, such as the peninsula sticks over there that are attacking the earthen wall of Rizhao's private port.

As he ate, Nojiri watched the sticks rush to the Dock Castle as they watched the fun, screaming and shooting at the guards for a while, and then retreating in disgrace.

After fighting for a long time, it looked quite lively, but only a few corpses were left on the side of the earthen wall, and nothing else was obtained.

"A bunch of idiots!" Nojiri sneered.

Such a weak person should never want to eat rice dumplings!
