Chapter 736: Nanshan Reinforcements
Hey, didn't the island owner expand his territory in the Ryukyus, Wang Bao's eyes lit up, and he immediately mentioned it: "Isn't the island owner just laying a new territory outside, who said that the land of Miyako Island must be divided." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Ha, that's right, give them the land of Ryukyu Island, and we will fight to Ryukyu Island together!" Huang Bingxi happily slapped the table.
In this way, the plan to continue to attract people to Miyakojima was set, but it was better to move the whole family. After that, the leadership of Miyakojima set a detailed rules and regulations for the distribution of territory, and the land allocated to one person was only five acres, and each family could be divided into one hectare of land.
However, this decision still had to be told to Li Yang by Clipper and Fast Horse, but time waited for no one, so they could only cut it first and then play it, after receiving the news of Li Yang's request for a rapid expansion of the army, they understood that if it were not for the critical situation, Li Yang would not be so aggressive.
Soon, after the news spread, the people of Miyako Island's territory, who were the first to get the news, were boiling, and some village leaders who were poor in mountains and rivers, did not produce much land, and the environment was not good, immediately found Wang Bao and others, and asked the village to be relocated to the newly laid territory of the island owner, and the land had to be picked by them.
These people's demands made Wang Bao cry and laugh, for the sake of the stability of the territory, naturally he couldn't do this, or everyone wanted to see if there was a cheap way to take advantage of it. Ryukyu Island is not a vast and sparsely populated island, waiting to be relocated to the past for development.
However, the demands of many young people to join the army have been satisfied; in the past, it was for the sake of laying a solid foundation and it was not convenient to expand the army too quickly, but now that the wheel of war has turned, it is natural to use war to nourish the war, and if it is crazy, it can even expand the army with a ratio of five to one or three to one for the people.
Soon, more than 600 men who were in good health were added to the new barracks, and although they were in danger of losing their heads, they were well paid and had the opportunity to get ahead. And Li Yang's propaganda strategy was quite clever at this time, and the storytellers who appeared from time to time were telling the stories of some good generals in the Central Plains, who overcame obstacles and finally established great military exploits, all of which made these small countries and widows who lacked heroic stories fascinated.
More than 600 people were formed into two battalions of recruits, replacing the responsibility of the remaining battalion of soldiers of the Second Army Corps stationed on Miyakojima, many of these recruits have also been trained by the militia group, and formal training should be able to get started quickly.
The remaining soldiers of the Second Army Corps, led by Huang Bingxi, embarked on two lucky boats and will land in a shallow bay north of Nanshan City, so that they can be reinforced to Nanshan City in about four days, and the Second Army Corps will also become a fully formed army, and I believe that the morale of the army can also be improved a lot.
At this time, in Nanshan City, the weather that should have been full of red clouds in the evening suddenly changed, and the entire city was shrouded in dark clouds, and the good weather that had lasted for a long time was about to turn into a violent storm.
Li Yang looked at the dark clouds in the distance, at this time the rainstorm was a mixed blessing for him, he needed time to digest the benefits after obtaining Nanshan City, but he also needed to quickly defeat the Ryukyu Nanshan Kingdom, an opponent who was larger than himself, and everything in the future might become a little confusing like this weather.
The gloomy weather had lasted for three days, with occasional bouts of rain, which made the reconnaissance very ineffective and the horses could not move around the slightly muddy ground.
At least more than 300 people have volunteered to join Li Yang's Nanshan City Militia, and these people who took the lead in surrendering to Cheng have already undertaken a certain amount of work to maintain public order in the city on weekdays.
The humid and rainy weather brought great inconvenience to Li Yang's army, and he originally wanted to pull the troops with more recruits outside the city for some field marching training after the basic queue and password training, but he had to give up in such weather.
However, it was fortunate that it was not bumped into by a large force of enemy reinforcements. When the scouts hurriedly reported to Li Yang that they had found traces of enemy troops, a row of small black dots appeared in the southeast direction from a distance on the city wall.
Closer, closer, I saw that in such weather, the enemy army was still full of flags and gongs and drums, Li Yang looked at this army with mixed clothes and bright armor from a distance on the city wall, and pouted: This kind of weather still makes such a big battle, a rain will make you all into chickens, and the commander of the enemy army is too fond of pomp and circumstance.
"Island master, look at the difference between the enemy army and the front and back." Wang Hu, who was behind Li Yang, pointed to the enemy's brigade.
Li Yang looked carefully and found that in the enemy's large array, the front row was indeed brightly clothed and armored, and there could be about a thousand soldiers, while the nearly 2,000 people in the back row looked ...... It's a bit like a farmer, and it's supposed to be a first-class temporary call-up.
"It seems that these three thousand enemy troops are not so difficult to deal with." Li Yang said with a smile, and then shouted to the left and right, "Remove the flags on the city, and the number of soldiers exposed outside the walls is also halved, pretending to be listless." ”
Wang Hu seemed to have caught something, but he still asked: "Island master, is this a deliberate show of weakness to the enemy?" ”
"Since the other party is so happy, then I will pretend to be tired and come out, and let him taste the end of underestimating the enemy."
Nanshan Castle was surrounded by a flat river, and there was no dangerous terrain to rely on, so the reinforcements of the Ryukyu Kingdom randomly chose a vacant land far away from Nanshan Castle and began to set up camp.
Li Yang looked at the two thousand elite soldiers who were waiting for the other party, and knew that this was not a good time to attack, so he watched with peace of mind as the other party had been busy all day and erected the entire camp.
However, Li Yang's army was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, the weather was humid, and in the city defense battle, the role of artillery was not great, and the bowstring was also greatly reduced by the wet weather, so the city defense preparations were mainly based on wooden rolling stones, and long wooden and human head-sized stones were placed on the city wall at intervals, and several large houses that were raided were demolished for these materials.
In addition, many of the black oil produced on Ryukyu Island are also packed up and put on the castle, this kind of black oil is not very useful, but there will always be a lot of it in the city, that is, it has a great effect on the defense of the palace, and after burning, it has an obvious killing effect on personnel, and it can be burned, and it also has a certain threat to the siege equipment.
The weather on the second day was still gloomy and depressing, but not a drop of rain fell unusually, and the reinforcements of the Ryukyu Nanshan Province lined up early and slowly pressed towards Nanshan Castle.
"Listen carefully! I, the king of Nanshan in the Ryukyus, led the team to march in person, if you still know each other, you can quickly go out of the city and surrender, you can still let you go back alive, otherwise you will not be killed! The enemy sent a loud voice and rode close to the city, shouting loudly.
Li Yang doesn't want to eat your set, this should belong to the fixed routine before the war. Thinking that the enemy's king personally went out to fight, this is a big fish, no wonder he will be killed by the enemy's poisoned arrows in the original time and space, this old brother originally had a hobby of pro-conquest.
