Chapter 224: Recruitment (1)
Jiang Qin, the word Gongyi, Jiujiang Shouchun people; Zhou Tai, the word Youping, Jiujiang Xia Cai people. Historically, these two people were both cadres of the Wu State, and Chen Shou called "the tiger minister of Jiangbiao and the favor of Sun".
According to the records of historical materials, the two of them were accompanied when Sun Ce went to Jiangdong after he broke away from Yuan Shu, and it is not clear what they did before and what their family background was. And the reason why they took refuge in Sun Ce, Liu Feng guessed that it was because of Sun Ce's charm.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" contains: planning for people, beautiful face, good laughter, broad sex, good at employing people. It is the people who see it, they are all dedicated, and they are happy to die.
When Sun Jian was listed as the Zuojun Sima to crusade against the Yellow Turban, he placed his family in Shouchun, and Sun Ce was also active in Shouchun during this time, when he was only eleven or twelve years old, a few years, but he was already famous. It was at this time that Zhou Yu was attracted to Sun Ce, visited in person, and became friends. During Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Zhou Yu persuaded Sun Ce to move to Shu County and give his big house to Sun Ce's family to live in, and the brotherhood was comparable to Sanying. It is not surprising that Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were attracted to follow him.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were portrayed as water thieves who were active on the river, and later led the crowd to join Sun Ce. This statement is obviously more influential, and in the eyes of most people, they are born as water thieves, and this setting is obviously used in the game.
"City Lord, what's wrong?" Seeing Liu Feng's excited and worried look, Bai Jian quietly approached and asked in a low voice.
"It's fine." Liu Feng soothed his mood and said, "It's just that it's rare to see two talents, and I want to close them, but I'm just worried about failure." You also know that the navy has always been a heart problem for me, and it is better to know that Wang Yu is coming. However, Wang Yu's ability is still lower, if there are these two people, it is enough to make up for the low combat power of the navy. ”
If other players heard this, it would be enough to raise the anger of strangling Liu Feng. Players at this stage, even if there have been many small cities, but most of the generals recruited are middle and high-level generals, the first-order generals are already masters in their eyes, and the second-order generals are even rarer.
And Liu Feng actually dislikes the fourth-order generals who are too weak, and they are also good at the naval army. And they can now develop the port, but the construction of the naval army is far away. It would be nice to be able to build small warships like the Runaways, most of which are still smaller ships.
However, compared to Liu Feng, who had a 6th-order military general to train the army at the beginning, and later promoted to the 7th order, the 4th-order naval commander was weaker.
"If you want to recruit them, why does the city lord want to go back?" Bai Jian asked again.
"Of course I'm going back to bring people to suppress the bandits, otherwise stop here and watch?" Liu Feng was speechless, "We are just a fighting ship, if we don't go back to move the army, they won't come and tear us up directly when they divide the victory!" ”
"Uh......" Bai Jian was a little embarrassed, he was impulsive, but his mind came out, and as soon as he said it, he knew that he had made a low-level mistake, and when he heard Liu Feng's words, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"If you can recruit them and strengthen the training of the navy, when you encounter the private fleets of the major clans in the future, you will not fall behind." Fortunately, Liu Feng just complained as if he was joking, and then changed the topic.
"If they can be subdued, then it will only be a matter of cavalry." Liu Feng continued, "Although you can train cavalry, this is not your specialty, you still have to recruit a general who is good at cavalry. It's a pity that the land south of the Yangtze River is covered with a dense water network, which is not suitable for large-scale cavalry combat, and it does not produce war horses. By the way, how old is your nephew, the child of the Meng family? Isn't his family's inheritance cavalry? ”
"Don't think about it in the near future, he is only 10 years old, and he was only sent to Yongning to go to school with the children of the three clans before him in the first half of the year, and if he wants to achieve something, he can't succeed in a short time." Bai Jian said.
"Then it just depends on chance." Liu Feng said, "Let's train the infantry army and the navy army first." ”
"City Lord, there are pirate ships behind you." Wang Yu came over and said.
"Leave it alone, just go full speed ahead. You go back in a small boat first, and immediately reorganize your army and prepare to go out to exterminate those pirates. Liu Feng looked back at the two small boats two or three miles away, and instructed Wang Yudao.
Wang Yu took the boat and moved forward lightly, and after a while, it became a small spot.
It was a total distance of more than ten miles, and when Liu Feng rushed back, Wang Yu had already completed the army, so he waited for Liu Feng to give the order to set off.
The pirate boat that followed behind saw such a large fleet from afar, turned around and ran away.
The emperor's envoy was still there, Liu Feng couldn't give orders directly, and he had to ask for their opinions, so he once again boarded the boat where Sheng Xian and the others were.
"Brother Zhiyuan, what's the situation ahead? Is this going to be ready for battle? As soon as they went up, Sheng Xian and Zuo Feng came over, and the Xueba, who was still on the boat, also looked concerned.
"I've already gone to see it, and there are a small group of pirates ahead, ready to exterminate them, and I'm here to inform the two envoys." Liu Feng smiled and comforted.
"Pirates, can't you go around it?" Zuo Feng heard that there were pirates, and his legs trembled a little. He had been to Jizhou by order, had seen the tragic situation of the battlefield, and did not want to have such an experience again, he just wanted to spend it safely.
Not only him, but even Sheng Xian. Although he is the head of a big family, he has never personally presided over the business, he is always in command from behind, and he has never experienced this situation.
"Two messengers are at ease!" This is the right matter, Liu Feng also used the official tone, "There are not many people on the other side, only more than 10,000 people, and there are no big ships, they are not our opponents at all, this battle is very easy." ”
Seeing that they still looked apprehensive, they had to continue: "Besides, you are envoys sent by the emperor, if you are forced to change the route by such a small group of pirates, it will not be good for the news to reach Your Majesty. Besides, isn't this a good opportunity? During the mission, exterminate the pirates and calm the sea frontier, what a great achievement! ”
"Master Hou, what you said is true?" Zuo Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course, no matter what you say, Ben Hou will not joke with the lives of himself and his subordinates!"
"Okay, it's up to Master Hou to decide!" Sheng Xian and Zuo Feng glanced at each other and made up their minds.
"The two envoys just sit down in the cabin, and it won't be long before Benhou will send someone to bring good news."
After delaying back and forth, when Liu Feng rushed to the battlefield again, it had already passed another half an hour. There are fewer ships still fighting on the sea, only one fighting ship and more than a dozen ships are still holding on, and the others are either sunk or unmanned.
The pirates had already learned that the ships they had just peeped at belonged to a large fleet, and except for some of the ships left to continue to ******/thieves, the rest had already begun to organize a retreat. Liu Feng arrived quickly, and that part of the ship had just left the battlefield and had not had time to leave.
"Quick, give the order, let Chen Hu lead someone to intercept the incoming people and cover our retreat." Tian Chengzhou didn't expect this fleet to be so large-scale, 2 medium-sized building ships, 6 small building ships, and hundreds of fighting ships and ships. Seeing them coming straight to the battlefield, Tian Chengzhou immediately ordered.
The flag was raised, and a hideous-looking man on a fighting ship was about to retreat and angrily smashed into the mast. The second master asked him to intercept this fleet, completely treating them as outcasts. However, his family is still in the water village and has to comply.
"Set sail and fight." Chen Hu gave a tragic order and took several ships under his command to meet Liu Feng.
"Actually looking for death?" Liu Feng saw several fighting ships and ships coming over, and said puzzledly.
"They are here for the main palace, as long as we delay some time, and when those ships go farther, we won't be able to catch up." Wang Yu explained.
"You take command, don't care about us. They will also be ready to fight if the need arises. Liu Feng pointed at Bai Jian, Tai Shici and the others, "But be careful, don't attack those Jiang/thieves, needless to say, pirates, right?" ”
"My subordinates understand!" Only then did Wang Yu understand the purpose of the city lord's hurried order, and he knew it in his heart, and immediately went to command the battle.
"Trebuchet, launch!" Seeing that those ships did not come to "meet the battle" with their own strength, Wang Yu ordered.
"Whoosh", 3 boulders flew up in the air and smashed towards the incoming ship. He used only three of the five small trebuchets that could fit the medium-sized building ship.
It's not that there can't be more, but after all, the capacity of the ship is limited, and if you install more trebuchets, you need to reserve more boulders, which seriously limits the speed and capacity of the ship.
The trebuchet was not very accurate, and the first round only made a splash, which scared the pirates into a cold sweat - they had never seen such a high-class ship. Knowing the second round, only one of the walkers was hit by a boulder and sank.
"Ruan Sibo will face the battle, Duan Mingjie and Bei Xinyuan will calm the battlefield, and the others will follow me to chase the enemy." Wang Yu commanded calmly, "Commander Bai, please stay and go to the envoy's ship to sit down." Those rivers/thieves are fierce, don't make any changes. ”
Bai Jian didn't say much, went down the side of the boat, jumped into a small boat, and went straight to the boat where Xueba was.
"Chase!" Ruan Sibo led people to meet the ships behind the Pirate Palace, and Wang Yu bypassed the battlefield in front of him and killed Tian Chengzhou's large army.
"Hurry, drop the ship's supplies, reduce the weight, and go full speed." Tian Chengzhou looked at the medium-sized building ship that was getting closer and closer, and ordered.
"Whoosh", hundreds of meters away, the trebuchet began to launch, and one by one the boulders fell into the sea, splashing huge waves, destroying the psychology of the pirates.
Although the launch of the boulder affected the speed of the ship, the pirates did not dodge the boulder from time to time, which also caused the speed to slow down, but made Liu Feng get closer and closer.
"Scatter and flee." Tian Chengzhou waved the flag.
Dozens of ships, large and small, began to change direction and scattered.
"Follow the ship." It was impossible for Liu Feng to disperse in the unfamiliar waters to pursue the pirates, and he didn't care if the thief leader escaped, he just wanted to quickly sink or capture the only small building ship, destroy the confidence of the pirates, and build up his own prestige to end the war as soon as possible.
"Damn, it's really coming for Lao Tzu." Tian Chengzhou originally fantasized that the other party would pursue other ships, but it turned out that it was just a fantasy.
"Abandon the ship, scatter and take a small boat, and scuttle this ship." Tian Chengzhou said viciously.
The pirates also knew the severity, and they didn't pity it and immediately took action.
After a while, the people on board scattered and fled in small boats, and the boat continued to move forward by inertia, but the speed became slower and slower, and finally stopped because the cabin was close to the water.
"The ship seems to be sinking, and the people are scattered." Wang Yu said to Liu Feng, "Do you want to pursue the thief leader?" ”
"No need, catch the boat in front of you and see if there are any good things, if you can rescue it, you can rescue it, if it doesn't work, forget it. Then return immediately. Liu Feng said.
In order to survive, Tian Chengzhou was very resolute in abandoning supplies, and almost all of the huge small building ships were empty. And the water has filled most of the bilge, and it can't be saved.
"Let's go, go back, don't waste time." This is not land, they chased it for more than ten miles, and it was already far away.
