Chapter 399: Pirate's Thoughts
In war, the commander who can bring victory to everyone will be embraced, and this is a truth that applies everywhere you go.
Although Li Feifeng is a pirate, he still understands this truth.
Since the Li family themselves knew that they were not strong in combat on land, wouldn't it be normal to listen to the words of the strong to fight for victory?
As for the distribution of the spoils......
"I'll be honest."
李飞凤 says:
"If it weren't for the fact that we defeated the Goryeo Navy and achieved some military exploits, I would have planned to work for Xu Shiyang Bai this time."
"Huh? Shopkeeper, this ......"
"This and this." Li Feifeng explained: "I think that this Xu family has the strength to win the world. Even if you can't do the world, there is no problem in separating one side. ”
"Now they can still look at us, in a few years, you just want to work for him for nothing, and they may not be willing to use us! Now such a good opportunity, leaving a good relationship is much more important than that bit of wealth. ”
In fact, the Li family could have not had to work so hard to maintain the relationship between the two sides, but who made Li Feilong lustful a few years ago, and then switched to Qin Huizhi after reaching an agreement with Xu Shiyang?
As a result, the previous relationship was completely beaten up, and Xu Shiyang was left with the impression that he did not keep his promises and forgot his righteousness.
To reverse this adverse effect, some sacrifice in terms of wealth is inevitable.
Now it's just that it's possible to divide the spoils less, what's the big deal?
What's more, Xu Shiyang had already stated that he would distribute the spoils of war according to the proportion of troops dispatched and the Li family's military exploits, but he did not allow the Li family to rob without permission.
That's even less of a problem.
"I know you want to kill people and rob a few little ladies to go back." Li Feifeng warned: "I'll tell you, now it's all for Lao Tzu to endure!" If someone is beaten by the knife of the Qi army, don't expect Lao Tzu to give him a head! ”
"Yes." The cabinet reluctantly agreed.
"Tell the brothers, endure this time, don't stab Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will give another reward when you go back."
"Yes!" This time, the promise was much more painful.
The reason why Li Feifeng was willing to pay for the army by himself was mainly because he felt that he had earned money to help Qi Jun this time.
Not to mention how much of the loot Xu Shiyang promised to give him, for Li Feifeng, being able to have a good relationship with the Xu family, a force with a great future, is already a sure win.
What's more, Li Feifeng also learned something new in the naval battle of Ganghwa Island.
For example, Li Feifeng found that the performance of the weapon of the gun in naval battles was very brilliant - he killed the commander of the Goryeo naval army at a critical moment, and completely established the victory.
It has a longer range than a musket, is more accurate than a cannon, and is powerful enough to pierce through the thickest planks of a Itaya ship, making it a very modest and useful weapon for pirates.
Moreover, the technical conditions for making lifting guns are not high, and the Li family's own blacksmiths can make them, but the problem lies in the quantity of manufacturing and the supply of gunpowder.
Now the Li family will also produce some gunpowder themselves, but this time they came out to fight with the Qi army, and Li Feifeng found that the gunpowder produced by himself was much worse than that made by Qi Province.
Or take the gun as an example, when using the gunpowder produced by the Li family, a large lifting rod needs one or two dollars of gunpowder to fire at a time, but with Qi medicine, only half can achieve the same effect.
Fortunately, there are solutions to these two defects: if the number of guns is insufficient, find more craftsmen, and if the gunpowder is not effective, charge more.
If a stupid solution works, then it's not a stupid way.
In Li Feifeng's eyes, the weapons other than the gun are the most suitable for the divine machine cannon and the bowl mouth cannon.
The former could penetrate the planks of all ships of the era at a suitable distance, but not so powerful as to sink a ship quickly; This is even more true of the latter, a weapon that can only be used to fire shotguns, which can sweep the deck of enemy ships before engaging in broadside battles.
The unifying idea of these three weapons is that they cannot quickly sink enemy ships, but they can provide great help in broadside warfare.
This is also determined by the characteristics of pirates, after all, if the enemy ship is directly sunk with a large-caliber and heavy gun, what else can the pirates grab?
Xu Shiyang didn't like the big lifting rod and the bowl mouth cannon very much, and he didn't see the Qi army equipped with these things. ’
Li Feifeng pondered:
If you don't have enough to produce at home, maybe you can ask him to help you make some of it?' As long as he has money, he shouldn't refuse, and he doesn't need these things himself anyway. ’
Just as he was thinking, a gong sounded from the position, and hundreds of archers dressed in Goryeo costumes crossed the pirate's position and approached the wall of the Goryeo king's capital not far ahead.
Li Feifeng was not surprised by this, during the siege, this was already a norm: every day at this time, hundreds of Goryeo troops would pour out of the position and shoot arrows at the defenders of Goryeo Wangjing for a while.
After paying about a dozen casualties, they will consciously retreat.
This kind of battle is not even harassment, at most it can only be regarded as saying hello on time, so Li Feifeng does not care about the battle situation ahead.
But something is wrong today, the Goryeo army has just taken up its footing at the "traditional" firing site, and the Dunui Gate is suddenly opened!
A group of about 5 or 600 Goryeo soldiers, led by a young general in armor, poured out of Wang Jing and rushed directly towards the surrendering troops!
The young Goryeo general stood thirty paces away from the surrender army with a horn bow in his hand, and very skillfully drew the horn bow into a full moon and shot an arrow.
He didn't use a piece of arrow, but a normal sharp and light arrow, which was enough to deal with the unarmored soldiers, not to mention that he actually shot straight at the door, and when he landed, a soldier covered his face and fell to the ground and rolled on the ground.
The Goryeo generals made persistent efforts, fired volleys of beads, and opened their bows left and right, and actually shot twenty-five arrows in a row, and all of them hit, more than a dozen soldiers were shot, and more than ten people were injured!
This miraculous archery skill boosted the morale of the Korean army, and this time they abandoned the previous tactic of shooting arrows and directly drew their swords and spears to try to start a white-knuckle battle.
The Goryeo army was still trying to suppress the charge with a piece of arrow, and at a relatively close distance, the piece of arrow did have a strong lethality against the Goryeo army, which had a low armor rate.
But this kind of thing is to surrender the army, no matter who is in the hands, it is okay to fight a downwind battle, but it always behaves clumsily, and nearly 200 soldiers are actually suppressed by the Goryeo general with one bow and one bow!
So, when it was realized that the arrows could not stop the Goryeo army's charge, the Goryeo army naturally collapsed.
The Goryeo army immediately drove the defeated troops and tried to storm the pirate defenses further behind.
Li Feifeng sneered, he is not a soft-hearted person, with an order, the guns and cannons on the Li family's army position rang out, feather arrows flew sideways, from the 1.5 money small-caliber arquebus to the 12 money big lifting pole to the bowl mouth cannon tiger squatting cannon, all the firearms and archers beat the fleeing soldiers and the Goryeo people who followed behind.
Whether it was the surrender army or the Wangjing garrison, the Goryeo people fell in pieces like harvested rice, and the Goryeo army's imposing counterattack was quickly contained.
