On April 19, fighting on the island of Nanao lasted for 10 days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In these ten days, all the military deployments of the Ming official army on Nanao Island have been completed, and it can be said that there are basically no blind spots in defense.

During this period, the island thieves were killed, captured more than 670 people, although the number of camps on the island has been nearly half, but the results are not satisfactory, mainly because the basic attack is some of the terrain is not so dangerous, the defense is relatively weak camps, there are fewer people in it, the reserve of money, food and materials is not much, the soldiers get quite limited oil and water.

Subsequently, Shen Xi changed his strategy, no longer casting a wide net, but focusing on attacking specific targets, first cutting off the bandit camps in the middle of the island, which were relatively close together.

This is very different from what soldiers and generals think.

In the opinion of the following soldiers, if the officers and soldiers want to attack first, they should also target those isolated bandits. In addition to the difficulty of obtaining reinforcements, those thieves also occupied a large number of officers and soldiers, just like there is a cottage in the Dajianshan area in the west of Nanao Island, the area is not large, but it occupies five hundred households, which is a huge waste of troops.

But in the army, there has always been a mountain of military orders, and Shen Xi said how to fight, then how to fight. As a result, the six hundred households that had gathered in accordance with Shen Xi's order rushed towards the Niutouling line in the middle of the island.

The strange thing is that several stockades located in the east, west, north and south directions of Niutouling not only did not come to each other's aid, but the defense was far weaker than imagined, and after several rounds of shelling by the Francophil machine, it was already quiet inside, and there was no trace of even a thief who shot arrows in the earthen fort, and then the "explosive pack" was thrown into a few, and the middle door of the stockade was wide open, and the thieves abandoned the camp and fled desperately, and the officers and soldiers swarmed in to plunder it.

Seeing people may not be killed, but seeing goods must be robbed, and the red-eyed look of soldiers when they see military exploits and treasures is difficult to hide.

After digging a pit on the island for more than ten days, I can finally bury it, and if I don't have to make any effort, if something is snatched away by others, I will drink the northwest wind?

I grabbed it back and paid fifty percent of the tax, but if it was robbed by others, it was impossible to say how much it could be divided in the end, and if it was not divided at all in the end, it would have to be based on the principle of reward and punishment for merit and demerit, and there was no problem at all.

A mountain is higher than a mountain, and the thieves on the island have finally seen what a real bandit is!

The group of officers and soldiers trained by Shen Xi were even more greedy and shameless than the bandits, and there were two hundred households that even fought by themselves for a little money, although they did not use knives, but they also fought hard, and in the end it was Shen Xi who led the guards to settle the dispute.

As a result, the officers and soldiers of the two hundred households were each beaten with ten military sticks, and even the hundred households with soldiers were not spared, and at the same time, the taxes paid by the two hundred households were increased by 20 percent, that is to say, they could only take 30 percent of what they had grabbed on the island, and the remaining 70 percent had to be handed over to the public.

In the first few days, Shen Xi was extremely busy on the island, sending people to survey the terrain, draw a topographic map, arrange the marching plan of each hundred households, arrange the garrison, inspect the military camp, etc., but after everything was arranged, Shen Xi was much more relaxed, and he didn't even have to stay up late at night, and he could rest very early.

Since landing on the island, there has not been a single incident of bandits attacking the camp on Nanao Island...... Those thieves were frightened in the face of such a group of officers and soldiers who were like locusts crossing the border, and it was commendable to stay in the camp and refuse to defend the city, where did they dare to take the initiative to provoke?

“…… Isn't it fair for you to do this, my lord? There are injuries on the lowly job, but not to the point where you can't fight with the thief, it's better for you to let those rabbit cubs go on a killing spree, but let the lowly job watch the excitement in the back, isn't this looking down on people? The humble request to bring a hundred household battalions, just one, must kill those thieves without leaving a piece of armor! ”

The person who spoke was Jing Yue, when he found out that he had been deceived by Shen Xi, Shen Xi did not stay on Da'ao Island to command remotely, Da'ao Island actually only left a special 100 households and baggage soldiers composed of the old and weak, immediately didn't care about the injury on the buttocks, and let people send him ashore in a small boat, but after looking on the island for two days, Shen Xi was located in the northeast of the island The big tent of the Chinese army was found.

Shen Xi has always avoided people, mainly because he knows that Jing Yue is short-tempered, and he has resentment, so he has to explode when they meet.

But after cutting off a few cottages in the middle of the island and freeing up a large number of soldiers and horses, Jing Yue was finally summoned by Shen Xi.

Jing Yue has a Confucian temperament compared to those five big and three rough generals, but in the final analysis, he is still a soldier, and he can't fight for credit in the face of it, and he can only witness others showing off his might in front of his eyes, which is a great destruction of his self-esteem.

Shen Xi enforces military law, Jing Yue can understand, even with a little admiration and gratitude, now that Shen Xi doesn't let him go to the battlefield, he can't bear it anymore, and he simply treats Shen Xi as a father killer who doesn't share the sky.

Martial artists have their own uprightness, before I could be an ancestor for you, but in the blink of an eye, you became an enemy without giving me a chance, and the difference between love and hate is obvious.

Shen Xi raised his head and glanced at Jing Yue, and asked, "Are you asking for war?" ”

"That's right, it's a war. In the end, I don't want too many people, just like when I was a hundred households before, just give a hundred people, if I can't earn back twenty heads, you cut off my head to make up the number! ”

Jing Yue gritted his teeth and said viciously.

Shen Xi didn't know who Jing Yue was competing with, but Jing Yue took the initiative to ask him to discourage the other party's enthusiasm, otherwise this general he was optimistic about might really hate him for the rest of his life.

The opportunity to make a contribution is in front of me, but because the Governor killed an example and beat up, when others charged, I lay on the bed board and counted my fingers to live, this is definitely a shameful thing for a lifetime, what face do I have to lead the soldiers to fight in the future? Why do others believe in me and follow me?

Shen Xi said: "Twenty heads are not necessary, the prisoners can also be counted, if this battle is won, I will make a heavy note on your merits!" ”

Jing Yue's eyes widened when he heard this, he was like having a grudge against Shen Xi for killing his father before, but now his heart was full of guilt, and he couldn't help but want to apologize to Shen Xi. But he didn't want to lose his momentum, so he put on an indomitable appearance, and shook his hand: "The captives must be young and middle-aged laborers, adults will see!" ”

Subsequently, Jing Yue strode out of the gate, but when he arrived at the empty dam outside, he remembered that Shen Xi had not transferred troops to him, and he was now an empty deputy Qianhu who had no military power. Shen Xi naturally didn't say anything, and soon transferred Jing Yue to a 100-household camp, and Jing Yue immediately hurriedly took people there.

Seeing this situation, Shen Xi shook his head helplessly, in his imagination, Jing Yue should not recklessly throw away his life.

The thieves on this island seem to be easy to deal with, but in fact, the cottages are very well built, especially the villages in the corner areas, many of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and one may be attacked by cold arrows if you are not careful.

Shen Xi understands that Jing Yue is not a meritorious person, and credit may be second to him, and the most important thing is face! Jing Yue was beaten before, and he had lost face, and now the only thought in his mind was to try to show himself in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies and prove that he was capable of becoming the captain of his personal guard.

"You have to finish the path you choose, I can only wish you good luck!"

Shen Xi sighed softly, although he had high expectations for Jing Yue, but like the hope for the soldiers of the three armies, he couldn't give up his principles because of his temporary preferences, since Jing Yue wanted a chance to prove it, then give him full trust. This is a war, and every officer and soldier must be prepared to shed blood and sacrifice for the war, otherwise they will always be a group of newcomers on the battlefield and will not be able to use much.

Shen Xi originally didn't take Jing Yue's entry into the battlefield seriously, but he expected that no matter how reckless Jing Yue was, he would never lead his troops to rush into the thieves' cottage in the rain of arrows.

But Shen Xi obviously underestimated Jing Yue's severely suppressed emotions.

Jing Yue actually took the 100 officers and soldiers allocated to him to directly attack a camp located next to the tomb in the northeast of the island, and with the cooperation of Ma Jiu and others, Jing Yue braved crossbow arrows and artillery fire to knock on the gate of a camp with rolling logs, and won the victory.

In less than three hours, he broke through a camp, killed more than 90 thieves in the village, captured more than 180 people, seized more than 900 taels of silver, more than 100 taels of gold, and some food and materials.

Although the credit cannot be fully credited to Jing Yue, Jing Yue fulfilled his promise with practical actions, but the final number of casualties made Shen Xi very dissatisfied.

Three soldiers were killed and nine wounded, two of whom were seriously wounded.
