At dusk, the second group of people who landed on the island arrived, but the big ships could not dock, so they could only dock more than a mile away from the shore and let the officers and men row small boats with supplies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The number of small boats prepared by the fleet is not large, two round trips, and finally a special person has to be sent back to send the small boats, so that they can return to the land for the third batch.

When the second group of people landed on the island, it happened to be the time of the stove, and the camp on the shore was very lively, after all, it was wartime, there were not many buried stoves, and each officer and soldier could share a few mouthfuls of hot soup at most, and they mainly had to rely on dry food to satisfy their hunger.

One of the advantages of April days is that it is not cold at night and not very hot during the day, plus the weather is sunny these days, so you don't have to worry about leaking rain in your tent.

Shen Xi dined with the soldiers, and then entered the big tent of the Chinese army, sorted out the information at hand, and prepared for the war in Japan.

This night, the scouts who went out to investigate reported one after another, and they roughly figured out the situation on the island. However, due to the fact that there are very few literate people, these scouts lack the ability to express themselves, and there is no priority and focus in their speech, and the information transmitted back is extremely complicated, and Shen Xi needs to peel off the cocoon and sort out the clues.

This made Shen Xi realize that more efforts were needed to cultivate a high-quality combat team.

"My lord, it's a little cold, you better rest early, there are lowly guards here, and you can't get things wrong!" After welcoming the last batch of officers and soldiers to the island at three o'clock in the evening, Shen Xi held a brief pre-war mobilization meeting, and waited for the generals and schools at all levels to be sent away, Jing Yue said with concern on his face.

Shen Xi waved his hand and said, "Lao Jing, you have a heart, but I'm not sleepy...... If you want to sleep, it will not be too late to sleep when you occupy Tai O tomorrow. ”

Jing Yue saluted and retired, and Shen Xi instructed: "You and the soldiers should rest well, so as not to lose the spirit of tomorrow's battle." However, the soldiers who ordered the night vigil were ordered, and the second half of the night was the most dangerous, and they should strictly prevent thieves from attacking the camp! ”

Jing Yue nodded in response: "Yes, my lord." ”

……

……

That night, until the fourth watch, it was calm, but at the end of the fourth watch, there was a sudden commotion outside, and there were bursts of shouts and killings, and there were really thieves attacking the camp.

Shen Xi yawned and said, "It's finally here, otherwise I thought you were going to be killed!" ”

Shen Xi didn't sleep, he was just waiting for the bandits to attack the camp.

Obviously, the officers and soldiers mobilized nearly 4,000 people in three batches to go to the island, and now the number of thieves on the island is no more than 400. The thieves had only three choices, either to take advantage of the night to flee north, or to attack the camp overnight, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the officials and soldiers, and killing the officers and soldiers by surprise, otherwise they could only stay in the stockade and wait for death.

Shen Xi sent a boat around the island to check, and although Da'ao Island has 45 square kilometers, its circumference is actually no more than 30 miles, and there are many traces of burning of ships on the shore. The boats of this gang of bandits are generally not large, and it is extremely unlikely that they want to go to sea and flee north, so in addition to sitting and waiting to be killed, they can only use the trick of attacking the camp overnight.

But this happened to fall into Shen Xi's calculations.

From the beginning of Shen Xi's construction camp on the island, he chose places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and paid attention to setting up guard posts. In addition to the ditches and fences in the camp, and the rejection of horses, Shen Xi also instructed to dig a soil pit outside the camp, the bottom of the pit was covered with dry grass, and the top was covered with branches, and the officers and soldiers hid in it.

In the darkest period before dawn, the thieves could only send 200 soldiers and horses, and when the officers and soldiers were on guard, how could they rely on 200 stragglers to launch a sneak attack on more than 20 times the regular army?

How much to bury as much as you want!

The camp itself was only sparsely lit with some bonfires, which seemed lonely and bleak, but after the attack on the camp, the camps were full of fires, and the soldiers had already been greeted, even if they rested. I felt that I had won the jackpot when I followed Shen Xi on the expedition, and I heard that there were bandits who attacked the camp, and their legs and feet were sharper than anyone else, because in their eyes, a thief was a credit, and if they ran slowly, they could only ask for early next time.

Shen Xi did not go to the front line to fight in person, standing at the door of the big tent, looking at the situation outside, even the personal soldiers in charge of the guard, including Jing Yue, were eager to try, knowing that the enemy was not very strong, these veterans wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy and earn military merits.

"Lao Jing, do you want to go out of the camp to fight?" Shen Xi asked with a smile.

"My lord, needless to say, even a soldier wants to be on it." Jing Yue Road.

Shen Xi asked again: "Now there are bandits outside who are not strong in combat, and our army is several times larger, and under some precautions, this battle will be won." But if there are Tatar cavalry several times your size outside, Lao Jing, do you still have the courage? ”

Perhaps Shen Xi's question was too sharp, Jing Yue didn't know how to answer for a while, and was stunned.

Shen Xi shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, when I didn't say it." With that, he turned and returned to the camp, for he found that fires had been lit everywhere, which was a signal that had been agreed upon, and would only be allowed to do so until the situation was fully controlled.

In addition to delivering news and letting Shen Xi understand the advantages and disadvantages of the situation on the battlefield, this move can also paralyze the bandits on the opposite side, making them think that this is a signal to ask for help and be afraid.

Jing Yue hurriedly followed Shen Xi into the big tent of the Chinese army, patted his chest and said: "My lord, the last general has figured it out, his head has fallen off a bowl and a big scar, even if there are heavenly soldiers and generals outside, he will fight with Ya." ”

A group of pro-soldiers next to him followed, Shen Xi turned around and said with a smile: "Remember what you said today, don't fucking turn around and encounter a tough battle, and shrink your eggs one by one to become deserters!" ”

Jing Yue and those pro-soldiers and the second monks were confused, in their eyes, Shen Xi was a gentle and elegant Confucian official, although those corrupt officials were afraid of the ruthlessness, but they would not insult Sven, but Shen Xi was swearing in front of them today, very kind.

But Shen Xi's words were to look down on the people, saying that they were "shrinking their eggs and becoming deserters", and they couldn't help but think: "If there is really an adult who says that day, even if you are afraid of a strong enemy, then you must not shrink your eggs, otherwise wouldn't you really be said by the adult?" ”

Shen Xi returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after a while, the shouting and killing outside had subsided, and the officers and soldiers cleaned up the battlefield and cleaned up the mess, while escorting the captured bandits to the camp for detention, waiting for Shen Xi's fate.

"Summons the order, bring a few thieves to meet you!" Shen Xi shouted.

Zhang Qilin, who entered the big tent to make a report, asked strangely: "My lord, shouldn't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the bandit nest on the island at this time?" ”

Shen Xi smiled and shook his head: "Zhang Qianhu, have you ever thought about how to deal with the bandits who set up an ambush in the middle of the road, this black light is blinding, and the soldiers are attacked?" ”

Zhang Qilin hurriedly called himself "negligent", but he was quite unimpressed in his heart, in his opinion, Shen Xi was too cautious and cautious, and he lost his sharpness at a young age.

Jing Yue was in charge of taking people, and came back after a while: "My lord, I have arrested about seventy or eighty bandits, but I don't know which one is the leader, so I picked a few guys who look like dogs to show you." ”

Shen Xi nodded: "Bring people up!" ”

Jing Yue took the order out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as he turned his head, he took the superintendent and his personal guards to escort five thieves in, these thieves were old and young, and they had no armor on their bodies, just ordinary cloth clothes.

One of the old men was gray-headed, but he had an outstanding temperament when he looked at him, and several young people next to him were looking at him, as if they were asking for advice.

"Be bold and make a difference."

Shen Xi first made a dismounting-style opening remarks, "This official was ordered by the emperor to attack Nanao Mountain and was stationed in Tai O for a day, why did he come to attack the camp?" ”

When several thieves heard this, they were dumbfounded!

This is to attack the Nanao Mountains to station on Tai O Island, that is...... Misunderstand?

Shen Xi said this very cleverly, and did not characterize these people as bandits, nor did he say that he actually led troops to level the bandits on the island.

The young man couldn't understand the key to Shen Xi's words, but the old man immediately heard the different tastes, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "General Mingjian, I am just the people on the island, I heard that Wang Shi came to the island and came to offer condolences, I never wanted to be treated as a bandit, it is really wronged!"
