Chapter 73: Infighting and Speed

Nowadays, the heroes who live in the seas of East Asia can be roughly divided into three forces: the pirates of the Great Zhou, the pirates of Goryeo, and the pirates from Fuso.

However, whether they are called pirates or pirates, they are essentially armed gangs that are both merchants and thieves.

The pirates of the Great Zhou would not show mercy to the Great Zhou because they were Han Chinese.

The Fuso Wako would not let go of Fuso's merchant ships just because they were Fuso people.

There are often conflicts and even wars between pirates and pirates themselves, and mutual annexation and plundering are commonplace, just like big fish eating small fish, which seems to have become some kind of natural rule.

In addition, there is cooperation between factions, as long as the target is suitable, it is normal for the Great Zhou pirates to cooperate with the Fuso Wako, attacking targets in the Great Zhou or conversely attacking the villages of Fuso.

Similar to the current action of attacking the Wubao fort in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, mixed with some small-scale Goryeo people to eat some leftovers, it is simply normal.

In fact, the pirate pirate pirate was originally a multinational coalition army, and some of the leaders even had monkey-like savage soldiers captured from the South Seas.

What the external identity of the pirates is only depends on where their high-ranking cadres are from, and even some pirates can seamlessly transform into pirates.

It's just that the low-level pirates and small bosses like Nojiri are happy to watch those Goryeo sticks that come to eat deflated.

"The people of the peninsula are as weak as a pack of wild dogs!"

Seeing that the club's attack was repulsed, Nojiri, a short, fat man, pointed at the dejected Goryeo and laughed loudly, followed by the bottom pirates on his ship.

"Bastard!" A stick couldn't help but retort loudly: "Didn't you gang of widows also knock down that earthen wall?" ”

Speaking Chinese...... in fact, no matter which pirates, even the Jurchen Tartars in Liaodong, the Tatars in the steppe, and the party in the northwest, if they want to express their meaning clearly, they must speak Chinese, and their own language is just some half-formed people.

was scolded as a widow, but Nojiri laughed instead.

"You call me a widow?"

Behind him, the sound of swords unsheathed sounded.

Nojiri Masakawa got up slowly, pulled out the sword at his waist, and said coldly: "It's just a group of Peninsula sticks, how dare you be so arrogant!" ”

About 20 or so pirates grinned and surrounded them, and there were many Goryeo pirates who had just retreated from the earthen wall, but they were all tired, and a small half of them were wounded.

"Do you want fire?" The Korean man panicked and shouted like a fool: "The Grand Commander will not let you go when he finds out!" ”

"No, as long as I give him a boat, the Grand Commander will definitely let me go."

These Koreans have a very large board house ship, which is much stronger than Nojiri's Kozao, and as long as they successfully grab it, they can become medium pirates with a bounty of hundreds of taels!

Well, of course, it also points a little benefit to the Grand Commander, such as dedicating one's own little morning to the Grand Commander.

Well, and some of the loot from this plunder.

Still, it's a lucrative deal for Nojiri.

"You guys! This group! Damn it! Wakako! ”

The scream was miserable, but no one stood up to help him, and even some guys were still in a pity, but this piece of fat actually let Nojiri that guy take the lead.

……

Coming out of the second tun, Xu Shiyang walked about 20 miles in about 3 hours.

Before dawn the next day, the troops set out again, this time for nearly 60 miles in just one day.

At noon on the third day, Xu Shiyang arrived near Rizhao and joined forces with the reinforcements from Wubao in nearby prefectures and counties that had gathered together as expected, that is, did not advance or retreat.

It took three days and walked 150 miles, which was already a miracle for the feudal militia.

In fact, this achievement, even if it is placed in the elite of Da Zhou, is outstanding.

A whole winter of rigorous training and nutritional supplements, military discipline that gradually became stricter, adequate supplies (Xu Shiyang took enough food from Ertun to eat 300 people for five days), and self-confidence in his own combat effectiveness made this a magical march record in this era.

Xu Shiyang was very satisfied with this, and he felt that the new army had grown again, and his previous efforts were not in vain.

In fact, even Xu Shiliu, who had no experience in how to command the army, vaguely felt that this infantry under his third brother was very strong.

The reason is that this child, who thinks very highly of himself, got into the carriage several times tired on the way.

If the time is carefully calculated, the time he spends resting in the carriage is only in the middle ......of the middle of the medical corps.

This made Xu Shiliu a big blow, a child of this age happened to be in an era of paying special attention to the gaze of the opposite sex, sitting in the car with female soldiers of about the same age, making him sit on pins and needles, and he felt that all the girls looked at him with a hint of mockery and pity.

This stimulated him jumped out of the car several times and walked for a while, until he almost collapsed, and was forcibly thrown back into the car by Xu Shiyang, so that the female soldiers of the medical team could watch him directly and rest for a while.

"Third brother, I'm sorry."

When he arrived at the destination, Xu Shiliu hesitated, lowered his head and came to Xu Shiyang, and said an apology that made the latter very inexplicable.

"What's wrong?" Xu Shiyang asked, "What are you sorry for me?" ”

"The third brother is very good at training." Xu Shiliu honestly admitted: "I'm not as good as you." ”

"If you don't have time, study hard, the sage said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, and we have hundreds of people here." Xu Shiyang patted Xu Shiliu's shoulder generously, not impressed.

Well, in fact, he still didn't understand why Xu Shiliu apologized to him.

'Isn't it normal for the military to be inferior to me?' ’

A soul from modern society could not understand the pride engraved in the bones of the scholars of this era, and the heartfelt contempt for the warriors.

"Third brother, I think that our next step should be to gather all the Dock Fort soldiers here and fight into Rizhao from the north."

Xu Shiliu's injured heart recovered a little, and he immediately performed the duty of praise and painting and gave Xu Shiyang ideas.

"Well, good strategy." Xu Shiyang replied with a smile: "Let's rest for an hour, give the soldiers something to eat to replenish their strength, and then wait for Luan Tingyu and Sun Li." ”

Luan Tingyu and Sun Li each brought 10 mounted infantry, set off with Xu Shiyang and them, and went south to Rizhao first.

Theoretically, the intensity of the march in 3 days and 130 miles (the number of people who set out from Ertun was less than the new army, and the road from 15 to Ertun was not enough to show the difference in the speed of the strategic march between the cavalry and the infantry.

However, in the vanguard of the Xu family army this time, the new army was already regarded as the peak level infantry of the feudal era, and Luan Tingyu Sun Li's men and horses could only be at the bottom of the cavalry of the same era.

Therefore, the only cavalry in the Xu family's army has been left behind by Xu Shiyang.
