Chapter 428: One-sided, all-out counteroffensive
As for the pirates in Dongzhou, after hearing the news that Black Wind Island has been conquered, the best policy to do is to evacuate Dongzhou as soon as possible and get rid of the entanglement of Dongzhou soldiers.
Quickly went south, taking advantage of Su Qi'an's unstable foundation, and quickly divided his troops to raid Black Wind Island, maybe there was a certain chance to take it.
If you support the Yuezhou pirates, you can only put yourself in it, and it is likely to be thankless.
This plan is a good strategy to stand on the side of the Dongzhou pirates, but Su Qi'an is not an arrogant person like Xiang Yan.
Before the raid on Black Wind Island, Su Qi'an, as the commander-in-chief of Yuezhou, ordered the fifth county, together with more than a dozen counties such as Shuixiang City, to assemble the recruited recruits and wait for his order at any time.
Although the fifth county guard and more than a dozen subordinate county commanders were not clear about Su Qi'an's so-called order.
But they did it anyway, and this time there were at least 10,000 recruits.
After Su Qi'an took Black Wind Island, it can be said that if all the news is made public, it is estimated that it will not take long for it to spread throughout Yuezhou.
And the recruits assembled in the fifth county will receive Su Qi'an's order to let them go to Black Wind Island.
It is estimated that they were stunned when they received the order, but Su Qi'an concluded that they would definitely come.
The reason is very simple, before leaving, Su Qi'an gave the fifth county a death order, if they learned the news, delayed the fighter plane, and did not move, Su Qi'an would execute them all according to the military law of war.
If there is such a strong order that the fifth county guard has to obey, then after learning where Su Qi'an went, and Su Qi'an really took Black Wind Island.
As long as the brain is a normal official, he will know the importance of Black Wind Island.
At this time, sending troops to reinforce is a proper delivery of charcoal in the snow, which is a great achievement.
Whether it is for their own future or their own lives, the recruits who have gathered will definitely reinforce Black Wind Island as quickly as possible.
These 10,000 recruits, placed in any battle circle in Yuezhou, will not achieve great results, and if they don't do well, they will be delayed.
But in the Black Wind Island, it can play a vital role, first of all, the Black Wind Island is surrounded by the sea, and there are a large number of reefs around, which is a natural defense.
Secondly, on the island, there are a large number of weapons and equipment left by the pirates, although the heavy guys can't use them, but Su Qi'an landed on the island this time with these things in his hands.
When the 10,000 recruits arrived on Black Wind Island, Su Qi'an's side would not be afraid of the pirates who had fled in Dongzhou.
It is not only reflected in the strength of troops, there is not much gap between the two sides, but more importantly, psychologically.
The status of Black Wind Island in the hearts of pirates is no less than that of Yuezhou City in Yuezhou.
Now, the nest has been stolen, and there will definitely be a shadow in their hearts, and they have fled all the way from Dongzhou to here, and they belong to the tired division.
But Su Qi'an and the others were recuperating, waiting for the pirates to attack, and they were fully prepared.
Black Wind Island has been operated by pirates for so many years, but it is not a joke, Su Qi'an was able to take Black Wind Island so smoothly, mainly because he saw the loopholes in the war and his extraordinary adventurous play.
This kind of frontal battlefield entanglement, not hesitating to use Yuezhou City as bait, leading a small group of elites, hiding traces, and quietly stealing the house.
It is something that Xiang Yan and they can't think of fighting a traditional battle, not to mention Xiang Yan, even the pirates.
In this respect, there are no military advisors who are familiar with the art of war and tactics among the pirates.
If there is, Su Qi'an will not be able to win it so smoothly and can take advantage of this loophole.
Of course, for this tactical play, Su Qi'an also has to thank one person, Darong Mobile Master, Yamulei.
Before his death, Yamurai gave Su Qi'an a book of soldiers written by him who had led his troops to fight for many years and accumulated experience.
This adventure is inspired by Amurley's war book.
For Yamulai, Su Qi'an admired him in his heart, and he deserved to be Darong's mobile master.
Not only on land, but even on the coast of the islands, he has his own unique opinions, and Amurai is a talent.
Not only Yamurai, but also the military advisor Liu Sheng who met before
A great strategist.
Compared with Da Liang, it is not that Da Liang does not have this kind of talent, but Da Liang has more, and this strategy is used in internal fighting, but as long as it can be united and unified with the outside world, it is impossible to sit on the real Da Liang and decay.
Su Qi'an sighed, and pressed this thought to the back of his head for the time being, what he had to do now was to take over Black Wind Island in an all-round way.
Wait for the arrival of new recruits and be ready for a second fierce battle.
In Su Qi's heart, he really wanted to fight against the pirates in Dongzhou.
After all, in his time, the ancestors of the Japanese people had a deep hatred that could not be erased.
Even if he came to this feudal dynasty that did not exist in history, it did not affect Su Qi'an's hatred for the Japanese people at all.
At the same time, on the battlefield of Yuezhou, Xie Cang and Su Kang, who had the fiercest fighting, soon received the news that Su Qi'an had conquered Black Wind Island.
Seeing this news, Xie Cang, who was originally gloomy, immediately burst out laughing.
That made Su Kang quite surprised.
This time, Xie Cang did not hide it, and directly handed over the news sent by Su Qi'an to Su Kang.
Su Kang's eyes swept away, there was a deep shock in his eyes, and he was speechless for a long time.
Xie Cang on the side laughed loudly, "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness King Yue, this matter is related to the war in Yuezhou, Brother Su specially ordered that no one can report it."
"Now that Black Wind Island has been taken, there is nothing to hide, haha, we can fight back without any worries."
Su Kang, who came back to his senses, nodded, with a smile on his face, "Well, Dongshan Hou has a reason for doing this, and this king naturally understands."
"Now, it's Lingdong Hou's turn to show his skills."
Xie Cang nodded, then summoned the herald and said. "Pass on Benhou's order to spread the news of the capture of Black Wind Island to the entire army at once."
"At the same time, the whole army of the Split Mountain Army, with one blow, will break through the third county city, join up with the defenders of the fourth county town, and annihilate this group of damned pirates."
The herald nodded heavily and quickly left.
Xie Cang turned his head and arched his hand at Su Kang and said, "His Royal Highness King Yue, Brother Su has cleared our worries, and then it's up to us, but we must not drag Brother Su back, this Hou will go first and wait for His Royal Highness King Yue to meet in the fourth county city."
Su Kang nodded with a smile, and said with the same pride on his face, "Okay, it depends on whether it is Lingdong Hou Kuai or this Wang Kuai!"
Xie Cang didn't continue to talk to Su Kang, and after bowing respectfully, he grabbed the horse rope and galloped away quickly.
Su Kang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, still had a smile on his face, but no one knew that Su Kang's smiling eyes carried a hint of success in his tricks.
It stands to reason that with more than 20,000 men and horses of Xie Cang and Su Kang, there are only about 5,000 pirates in the face of them, even if the third county city has thick walls.
It is impossible to stop them from moving an inch for an hour, and there are two reasons for this.
One of them was that they were worried that there would be a move on Black Wind Island behind them.
If they attack with all their might, they must devote all their forces, and then their rear will be empty.
Moreover, the group of pirates in front of him is very experienced, even if the city is broken, it is likely to jump into the internal waterway, so that they will be picked up by the people sent by the Black Wind Island in the rear and be able to escape smoothly.
Second, I also wanted to teach Xiang Yan a lesson, after all, the order given to him this time was to arrive in the third county town and form a horn encirclement with Su Kangna all the way to the pirates.
As a result, this Xiang Yan didn't obey the order and didn't say anything, and he still had ink along the way.
It was because of his ink that he was caught off guard by pirates, if it wasn't for Xie Cang and Su Kang's timely response and quick rescue.
Xiang Yan's men and horses, it is a matter of time before they are eaten.
Therefore, with all kinds of considerations, they were still stuck in the third county town for an hour.
Now that Black Wind Island has been taken, it is enough to teach Xiang Yan a lesson, and they have no worries, so they naturally put all their troops into it and storm the third county city.
The pirates of the third county city were attacked by Xie Cang and Su Kang and directly attacked
Confused.
They hadn't recovered from the shock of being taken down from Black Wind Island, but now they looked at the menacing Yuezhou soldiers and the Split Mountain Army who didn't care at all.
At this moment, most of them had a head in their hearts, and under this all-out onslaught, the five thousand pirates could not stop it at all, and it only took less than a quarter of an hour for the third county city to be broken.
The pirates thought the same as Xie Cang, and wanted to escape along the waterways in the territory.
But how could Xie Cang and Su Kang give them this opportunity, even Black Wind Island was taken, if they could still let the pirates escape from under their noses, it would only mean that they were too wasteful.
Before, the pirates wanted to take a dog skin plaster and bite them to death, but now the battlefield has reversed.
Under the blows of the Split Mountain Army and the Yuezhou soldiers, the 5,000 pirates suffered heavy losses, and only a few hundred people remained, and these hundreds of people, without exception, all became prisoners.
After conquering the third county town, the two sides went straight to the fourth county town without stopping.
On the way here, the pirates who stormed the fourth county town also heard the news that the lair had been conquered, and then the 5,000 pirates who stayed behind were also defeated.
The bad news, one after another, originally wanted to come to the center to bloom, but now it's good, and it has directly become a turtle in an urn.
A good hand of cards, just like that, played poorly, for a time to make everyone panic.
Fortunately, the leaders of the group immediately made a decision, immediately gave up the siege, and directly ordered to disperse and break through.
Taking advantage of the fact that the defenders of the fourth county town had not yet reacted, they quickly retreated, scattered and broke through, maybe there was still a glimmer of life.
Without any hesitation, when Xiang Yan predicted when the city would break and he would escape, the pirates who stormed the fourth county city would withdraw directly the next moment.
This time Xiang Yan was confused, and the pirates' sudden withdrawal of troops, Xiang Yan didn't make any moves, just watched.
It wasn't that he didn't receive the news that Black Wind Island had been conquered and the third county town had been recovered.
But he didn't know for sure, after all, these two pieces of news were too dreamy, and he was afraid that they were the fraud of the siege pirates.
Therefore, even if the pirates suddenly withdrew their troops, Xiang Yan was indifferent until he saw the Split Mountain Army and Yuezhou soldiers galloping in the distance.
Xiang Yan finally reacted at this moment, but he reacted with him, as well as his impending catastrophe.
