When Lin Xian was recruiting people on a large scale, Chen Zuyi had already come to the outside of Zhiliang City with more than 9,000 people. The Qinsheng Gang received a report from the Liesheng Gang from Mersing, but the leader of the Qinsheng Gang, Ai Beni, was reluctant to leave, and thought about it with luck, what if the Black Shark helped the Liesheng Gang and fought to lose both!

Albeni decided to invite the people of the Great Saint Gang to deal with the Black Shark Gang together, and this decision completely buried the last bit of hope for the Four Saints.

The total number of people in the Chin Saint Gang and the Great Saint Gang is still about four thousand, which is even stronger than the Lie Saint Gang. The bad thing is that the people of the Great Sage Gang are still on the way, and the Black Shark Gang has already surrounded Zhiliang City.

The scale of Zhiliang City is much smaller than that of Fengsheng Port, there are only eighty or ninety thousand households in the city, and the three gates of this city are only the south gate facing the wharf, and the other two gates, the west gate and the north gate, all have big roads leading to the mainland.

Chen Zuyi couldn't, so he had to divide them into three places, one with 3,000 people, and Chen Manchu, Songhai and himself led the attack respectively.

To say that their troops are weak, then the city of Albeni is even more miserable, he only has two thousand four or five troops, and he has to be divided into three defenses, each with only about eight hundred troops, which is like child's play.

Even if it was child's play, the siege began. The big killer of the fortified artillery has begun to play again, in fact, this is the red-coated cannon that appeared a hundred years in advance. At this time, it is simply invincible to use it to destroy the city!

At the fourth moment of the first day of Shen, the three outside the fortified artillery rang out at the same time, and the city gate of the small city was already weak, and the city gate was declared finished without a few shots. After that, the Black Shark Army rushed into the city like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the minions of the three cities were used to fighting with the wind, and at this moment, seeing that they were about to be wiped out, they immediately ran away.

The speed of the collapse was faster than the two men had expected. Albenny smiled bitterly at his men who ran into the city and saw no one there, and he and five loyal guards were left on the tower of the south gate.

"It's over, you five are still faithful! Unfortunately, it's too late! Otherwise, I can give you a fortune! ”

While Albeni was sighing, one of the guards smiled and said, "It's not too late! Do it! ”

After saying that, the five guards worked together to tie up Albenny like a rice dumpling.

"Why are you doing that?" Albenny didn't struggle much, just asked very incomprehensibly.

"Dedicate you to the leader of the Black Shark Gang, not only can we survive, but maybe we can also make some reward!" One of them said with a shameless smile.

"You ......" Albeni was speechless, he didn't expect such a smart person to exist around him. Everyone else is busy running for their lives, but they can think of this!

When these five people tied the silent Abenny to Chen Zuyi, they not only saved their lives, but also received a rich reward! Although Chen Zuyi hates this kind of anti-bone boy who has no righteousness the most, he is a person who is ready to do big things, and it is impossible to worry too much about such small things, otherwise it will not be enough.

Zhiliang City went down in one go, and just as Chen Zuyi was about to count the spoils, the spies sent out came to report that there was a cavalry team of about 2,000 people coming rapidly from the north, and it was still about ten miles away from Zhiliang City.

Chen Zuyi had already heard from the five people who kidnapped Ai Beni that Ai Beni had asked the Great Sage Gang for help, and it was estimated that he would come to Zhiliang City soon.

"The summons is going according to Plan One!"

The so-called No. 1 plan is to take the north gate as the main battlefield, some of the people of Songhaibu will change into the khaki armor of the Qinsheng Gang, and the other two gates will each draw out thousands of people to ambush on both sides of the street at the entrance of the north gate. When the enemy enters the city and loses the speed of the cavalry, the men on both sides suddenly rush out and kill the enemy who enters.

After about two pillars of incense, Chen Zuyi was standing on the second floor of a small building next to the city wall in the north gate, and he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, then the neighing of horses, and then there was no sound. Soon one of the five who surrendered asked loudly, and the faint sound of response outside the city walls. Soon after, Chen Zuyi saw four parallel teams of cavalry marching in.

After a cup of tea, the last cavalryman entered the city gate.

"Chirp-bang!" A sound of rushing into the sky rang out, and it was the sound of the attacking cannon.

The cavalry of the Great Sage Gang, who had just entered the city, was looking up at the sky, and they didn't react for a while.

"Kill ———"

The originally closed gates on both sides of the street opened at the same time, and from inside poured out a group of black-clad and black-armored soldiers, holding iron spears that flashed with cold light, and instantly drowned out two thousand cavalry.

Chen Zuyi smacked his lips proudly, this idea was thought up by him, and the implementation was not smooth, he had a feeling that Zhuge Wuhou was possessed. It seems that he still has the potential to be a manager. This time to attack the Four Holy Gang, the more than 5,000 war horses of the Lie Holy Gang are not counted, the Qin Holy Gang and the Great Holy Gang sent more than 4,000 war horses to him, which is enough for him to form eight battalions of cavalry. If there were spare horses in the Great Sage Gang, he could form ten battalions of cavalry.

The current cavalry is the king of the land, but the cavalry is also a class that burns money like a sailor. Not to mention the horses, even the configuration is also extremely expensive. For example, you must have a good armor, not too heavy and good defense. Equipped with spears, longbows, sabers, short crossbows, waist knives, etc., this is not only light cavalry, if it is a heavy horse, but also to equip the horses with battle armor, this body alone is a hundred taels of silver!

However, if you can have an elite cavalry of tens of thousands of horses, you will basically not be afraid of many sultanates and those small countries in the South Sea Islands. But if you want to dominate this class, you need to multiply it several times, plus twice as many auxiliaries. In addition, millions of infantry and naval troops were needed, and basically only the Majapahit Empire could do this.

In addition, in the far north, the Ming Empire also did this. The difference is that the Ming Empire has just been established for 30 years, and it is still in a state of strong soldiers. The Majapahit has been established for more than 100 years, and due to the contradictions between its rulers and nobles, and the fact that the old emperor is dying of old age but has no heirs, the following is even more popular. Those who have some qualifications want to sit in that seat, and under the influence of the factional struggle at home, its armies on expeditions abroad are subject to various constraints. The army's attack power has also been greatly affected, especially in the past year, when it has not been able to open up new territory at all.

After solving the cavalry that came to help, Songhai took some people to ride on war horses, and quickly went to Xinglou City with 2,000 people. Since the Four Holy Gangs are all the same armor, but the markings on the chest are different, so the armor does not need to be changed, as long as you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference. Chen Mancang stayed behind with 3,000 men and horses, and the remaining 4,000 people also got on a warship and rushed to Xinglou City.

The reason why Chen Mancang left 3,000 men and horses was because Zhiliang City had just been occupied, and the city had not yet been cleared of enemy deserters, so he had to do all this before Chen Zuyi turned back. When Chen Zuyi turned back by boat, he could only leave 2,000 men and horses to stay, and the rest of the men and horses were returned.

Fortunately, Chen Zuyi usually requires horseback riding to be included in the training content, although there are only five or six hundred war horses on Lombok, and all the horses have learned how to control horses and ride horses, so don't think about fighting. Except for Songhai, who used to be on the horse, the rest of the people were just empty shelves.

Chen Zuyi sat on the warship, leaving Lin Da to count the spoils in Zhiliang City, and organized people to distribute some of the grain and load it to the port of Mersing. The army led by Lin Xian over there only had a few days of dry food, and if the food was not delivered in time, the result would be terrible.

In fact, Chen Zuyi thought too much, Lin Xian still had nearly 20 million taels of seized silver from the Liesheng Gang, and he just bought food in the city to support it for a few years. It's just that the silver still has to buy cavalry equipment, so Lin Xian won't spend it on buying grain, he knows that there will definitely be a lot of grain in other cities.

Xingloucheng is only a county seat, not as good as Zhiliang City, it has a population of only about 50,000 households. The reason why the Great Sage Gang is stationed here is because Xinglou City has an excellent deep-water dock. The attack went relatively smoothly, and it should be called the deception very smoothly. There were only more than 200 people defending the city, and they were still divided into two gates.

When the Gatekeeper Gang saw the return of their army, although they were surprised how they turned back so quickly, they didn't bother to ask so much, and hurriedly lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate. When the gang came in, a battalion commander at the city gate said that it was wrong, this was obviously the armor of the Qinsheng Gang, and just as he was about to ask, he was cut off by someone with a knife.

Na Songhai then ordered Hu Sanwa to take his battalion of men and horses to clear the enemy on the city wall, while he himself continued to gallop into the city with the rest of the men. He left another 1,000 men at the county office to loot the warehouse, and he himself took the only 500 men and ran to another city gate. The people at the city gate had already heard the sound of horses' hooves and tearing in the city, and knew that the situation was not good, so the battalion commander who guarded the gate fled directly from the city gate with hundreds of people.

Songhai successfully took over Xinglou City, and the sound of fighting in the city was to clear the enemy's deserters. Don't enter Chen Zuyi into the city much, frowning and looking at this small city, he doesn't look down on this place a little. But since the city of Fengsheng Mancang and Zhiliang City were occupied, it must also be occupied, because half of the city was on the seashore and half of the city blocked an exit from the mountains, and this exit was on the main road to Wendong City, the capital of Pengxiang Kingdom in the north. Defend it, and the two cities to the south will be equivalent to a barrier.

Originally a pass of Johor, it has always been used to defend the northern kingdom of Pengxiang, which was destroyed by Pengxiang 50 years ago and changed to Johor province. Five years ago, this province was jointly occupied by the Four Holy Gangs, and it was only then that the current situation was formed.

After the inventory of the spoils of war is completed, the food and some materials are left in the city, and Li Song of the Wuzi Battalion and Pei Xin of the Jizi Battalion with two battalions of 1,000 people stay here, with Pei Xin as the main general and Li Song as the deputy general, the two are not only responsible for guarding the checkpoint, but also responsible for recruiting and training soldiers. Chen Zuyi gave them the task of recruiting a minimum of 5,000 people. The two of them can be regarded as the soil emperors of one side, and happily received orders to pacify the people and repair the city defenses.

Chen Zuyi looked at the soldiers who set off with the ship, there were only 6,000 people left, and he couldn't help but feel a little lamented that there were too few people! He also had to rush to Mersing and hand over another 2,000 people to Lin Xian. This is what Lin Xian said at the beginning, at that time, because he wanted to continue to attack the two cities of Zhiliang and Xinglou, he only left a thousand men and horses in Fengsheng Harbor, and it was okay to hold it for only one day or two, and after a long time, he was afraid that he would not be able to deter the local heroes. No matter how many recruits there are, and they don't know the details, if they rebel against themselves, it will be reduced to a joke for the ages!

When Chen Zuyi handed over the 2,000 men and grain to Lin Xian again, he was very satisfied with his newly recruited 3,000 soldiers. Because Lin Xian was also worried that someone was plotting against him, he didn't recruit more. Now the arrival of 2,000 elite soldiers has made him have no worries.
