On April 19th, the war on Nan'ao Island lasted for ten days. Δ

During these ten days, all the military deployments of the Ming Dynasty's official army on Nan'ao Island have been completed, and it can be said that there are basically no blind spots in defense.

During this period, the island's thief army was killed and captured more than 670 people. Although nearly half of the camps on the island were captured, the results were not satisfactory. The main reason was that the camps that were not so dangerous and had relatively weak defenses. There were few people in it, and there were not much money, grain and materials reserved. The soldiers recovered quite limited oil and water.

Then, Chen Xi changed his strategy and no longer cast a wide net, but focused on attacking specific targets. The targets that were first cut were those bandit camps in the middle of the island.

This is very different from the ideas of soldiers and military generals.

In the eyes of the soldiers below, if the government forces attack first, they should target those isolated thief camps. In addition to being difficult to obtain reinforcements, those thief camps also occupy a large number of thief camps, just like there is a staircase in the Dajianshan area in the western part of Nan'ao Island. The area is not large, but it occupies five hundred households, which is a huge waste of troops.

But the army has always been in the military orders, and Chen Xi said that he would fight, and then he would fight. So, the six hundred households that followed Chen Xi's orders rushed towards the Niutouling line in the middle of the island.

Strangely, the villages located in the four directions of Niutouling, east, west, south, north and north, not only did not help each other, but their defense was far weaker than expected. After several rounds of Folang machine guns bombarded, it was already quiet inside. There were no traces of archery bandits in the earthen castle. Then a few "explosive bags" were shot in, and the middle gate of the village opened wide. The thieves abandoned the camp and fled desperately, and the official army flocked in and robbed.

You may not be killed when you see someone, but you may be robbed when you see money. The red-eyed look of soldiers who see military merits and treasures is hard to hide.

After digging more than a dozen days of pits on the island, I can finally bury it. If there is no force, if the things are taken away by others, will I go to drink the northwest wind?

I robbed myself and paid 50% of the tax, but if I robbed me of others, I can’t say how much I can get in the end. If I don’t divide anything in the end, I have to rely on the principle of merit and demerit, and there is no problem at all.

One mountain is higher than the other, and the bandits on the island finally saw what the real bandit is!

The group of official troops trained by Chen Xi were even more greedy and shameless than the bandits. Two hundred households even fought for some wealth. Although they did not use a knife, they fought hard. In the end, Chen Xi led his personal guards to resolve the dispute.

As a result, the officers and soldiers of the two hundred households were beaten ten military sticks, and even the hundred households with the soldiers were not spared. At the same time, the tax paid by these two hundred households increased by 20%, which means that they could only get 30% of the things they grabbed on the island, and the remaining 70% had to be handed over to the public.

In the first few days, Chen Xi was extremely busy on the island. He sent people to investigate the terrain, draw a topographic map, arrange the marching plans of each hundred households, arrange garrisons, patrol military camps, etc., but after everything was arranged, Chen Xi became much more relaxed, and he didn't have to stay up late at night, and he could rest early.

Since landing on the island, there has never been a single incident of bandit attacking the camp on Nan'ao Island... The thieves were scared to death in the face of such a group of official troops that looked like locusts passing through the border. Staying in the camp and resisting the city and defending was a commendable courage. How could they dare to take the initiative to attack and provoke?

"...Sir, is it not fair for you to do this? Bei Zhi was injured, but it was not as good as not being able to fight the thieves. You should let those bastards start killing, but let them watch the fun behind them. Isn't this looking down on people? Bei Zhi asked to bring a hundred-household camp, only one, and they will definitely kill those thieves without leaving any armor!"

The person who spoke was Jing Yue. When he found out that he had been deceived by Chen Xi, Chen Xi did not stay on Da'ao Island for long-range command. In fact, there was only a hundred household office specially composed of old and weak people and supplies. He immediately ignored the injuries on his butt and asked someone to send him ashore with a small boat. As a result, he searched on the island for two days before finding the central army tent in the northeast of the island.

Chen Xi has always avoided seeing anyone, mainly because he knew that Jing Yue had a bad temper and was resentful, so he would inevitably have a big blowout when he met.

But after cutting off several cliques in the middle of the island and freeing up a large number of troops, Jing Yue was finally seen by Chen Xi. He was so angry that he became stubborn that he had come up with Chen Xi.

Compared with those big and thick military generals, Jing Yue has the temperament of a Confucian scholar, but after all, he is still a soldier. When faced with credit, he can only witness others showing off his power in front of him, which is a great destruction of his self-esteem.

Jing Yue understood that Chen Xi was enforcing military law, and even felt a little admiration and gratitude. Now that Shen Xi did not allow him to go to the battlefield, he could not bear it anymore. He treated Chen Xi as an irreconcilable enemy who killed his father.

The warrior has his own integrity. Before, I could be a ancestor to offer you. In the blink of an eye, if you don’t give me a chance, you will become an enemy. The distinction between love and hate is clearly reflected.

Chen Xi raised his head and glanced at Jing Yue and asked, "Are you asking for a fight?"

"Yes, I just ask for a fight. The last general should not have too many people. I just want to give one hundred people just like when I was a hundred households. If I can't make a profit of twenty heads, you can cut my head to make up the number!"

Jing Yue gritted his teeth and said viciously.

Chen Xi didn't know who Jing Yue was competing with, but Jing Yue volunteered and he couldn't dispel the other party's enthusiasm, otherwise the general he was optimistic about would really hate him for the rest of his life.

The opportunity to make achievements is right in front of me, but I beat him because the governor and governor killed a warning to him. When others charged in battle, I lay on the bed and counted my fingers to live. This is definitely a joke that makes me laugh for the rest of my life. How can I still have the face to lead troops to fight in the future? Why do others believe me and serve me?

Chen Xidao: "There is no need for twenty heads, and prisoners can make up the numbers. If this battle is won, I will write down a lot of money on your credit book!"

When Jing Yue heard this, his eyes widened. He seemed to have a grudge against Chen Xi before, but now he felt guilty and couldn't help but apologize to Chen Xi. But he didn't want to vent his momentum, and he looked like he was moving forward and shook his hand: "The captive must be a young and middle-aged laborer. Let's take a look!"

Then, Jing Yue strided out of the gate, but when he arrived at the hollow dam outside, he remembered that Chen Xi had not transferred troops to him. He was now an idle deputy Qianhu, who had no military power. Chen Xi naturally would not be untrustworthy, so he quickly transferred Jing Yue a hundred-house camp. Jing Yue immediately took his people there.

Seeing this, Chen Xi shook his head helplessly. In his vision, Jing Yue should not lose his life recklessly.

The thieves on this island seem easy to deal with, but in fact, the construction of the counterfeit villages is very particular, especially the villages in the corner areas, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you are not careful, you may be attacked by cold arrows.

Chen Xi understood that Jing Yue was not eager to make contributions. The contribution may be second to him. The most important thing was face! Jing Yue was beaten before and his face was damaged. Now the only thought in his mind was to try to show himself in front of the soldiers of the three armies, proving that he has the ability to become his personal guard captain.

"You have to finish the path you choose, I can only wish you good luck!"

Chen Xi sighed softly. Although he had high expectations for Jing Yue, he could not give up his principles because of his temporary preferences, as he had hoped for the soldiers of the three armies. Since Jing Yue wanted a chance to prove it, he would give him full trust. This is a war, and every officer and soldier must be prepared to sacrifice bloodshed for the war, otherwise he would always be a group of new soldiers on the battlefield, which would be useless.

Chen Xi did not take Jing Yue's participation in the battlefield seriously, and expected that no matter how reckless Jing Yue was, he would never lead his troops to rush into the thieves' village in the rain of arrows.

But Chen Xi obviously underestimated Jing Yue's severely suppressed emotions.

Jing Yue actually led the hundred officers and soldiers assigned to him to attack a camp located next to the tomb mountain in the northeast of the island. With the cooperation of Ma Jiu and others, Jing Yue braved the crossbow and artillery fire and used a rolling wood to open a camp gate, and the flag was opened to victory.

Three hours later, it was not time to break through a camp, kill more than 90 bandits in the village, capture more than 180 people, seize more than 90 taels of silver, more than 100 taels of gold, and some food and food, which resulted in great success.

Although the credit cannot be recorded in Jing Yue, Jing Yue fulfilled his promise with practical actions, but the final number of casualties made Chen Xi very dissatisfied.

Three soldiers died in this battle, nine of whom were injured, and two of them were seriously injured.
