As for the pirates in Dongzhou, after hearing the news that Black Wind Island was captured, the best thing to do is to evacuate Dongzhou as soon as possible and get rid of the entanglement of Dongzhou soldiers.
Quickly go south, take advantage of Su Qi'an's unstable foundation, quickly divide his troops to attack Black Wind Island, and maybe there is a certain chance of taking it.
If you support Yuezhou pirates, you will have to involve yourself, and it will probably be a thankless task.
This plan is a good idea to side with 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 Shuixiang City and more than a dozen counties, to assemble the recruits and wait for his orders at any time.
Although the Fifth County Sheriff and his dozen or so county magistrates did not know what Su Qian's so-called order was.
But they still did it, and this time they recruited at least 10,000 new soldiers.
After Su Qi'an captured Black Wind Island, it could be said that if all the news was made public, it would not take long for it to spread throughout Yuezhou.
The new soldiers assembled in the fifth county will receive an order from Su Qi'an to go to Black Wind Island.
They were probably confused after receiving the order, but Su Qi'an concluded that they would definitely come.
The reason is very simple. Before departure, Su Qi'an gave the death order to the fifth county guard. If they delay the fight after learning the news, Su Qi'an will kill them all according to the laws of war.
If there was such a strong order that the fifth county guard had to obey, then after learning where Su Qi'an was going and that Su Qi'an had really captured Black Wind Island.
Any official with a normal mind would know the importance of Batu Island.
Sending troops to reinforce at this time is a real help in times of need, which is a great achievement.
Whether it is for their own future or their own lives, the new soldiers gathered will definitely reinforce Black Wind Island as quickly as possible.
If these 10,000 recruits are placed in any battle circle in Yuezhou, the results achieved will not be great, and they may even be delayed.
But it can play a vital role when placed on Black Wind Island. First of all, Black Wind Island is surrounded by the sea and there are a large number of reefs around it, which is a natural defense.
Secondly, there are a large number of weapons and equipment left by the pirates on the island. Although the heavy weapons cannot be used, Su Qi'an landed on the island this time with these weapons in his hands.
When 10,000 new soldiers arrive at Black Wind Island, Su Qi'an will not be afraid of the pirates and Japanese pirates who fled from Dongzhou.
Not only in terms of military strength, there is not much difference between the two sides, but more importantly in psychology.
The status of Black Wind Island in the hearts of pirates is no less than that of Yuezhou City in Yuezhou.
Now that their home has been stolen, they will definitely feel a pall in their hearts. Moreover, they fled all the way from Dongzhou to this place, so they are a tired group.
But Su Qi'an and the others were recharging their energy and waiting for the pirates and Japanese pirates to invade, and they were fully prepared.
Blackwind Island has been run by pirates for so many years, which is no joke. Su Qi'an was able to take Blackwind Island so smoothly mainly because he saw the loopholes in the war and his extraordinary risk-taking style.
This kind of strategy is to use the frontal battlefield, not hesitate to use Yuezhou City as bait, lead a small group of elites, hide the traces, and steal homes quietly.
This is something that Xiang Yan and the others would never expect from a traditional tough battle, not to mention Xiang Yan, even the pirates.
From this aspect, among the pirates and Japanese pirates, there are no military advisors who are familiar with the art of war and tactics.
If there was, Su Qi'an would not have been able to win it so smoothly and take advantage of this loophole.
Of course, Su Qi'an has to thank one person for this kind of tactical play, Darong's mobile master, Yamulei.
Before Yamurei died, he gave Su Qi'an a military book written by him based on his experience in leading troops in battles for many years.
This adventurous play style was inspired by Yamure's book of war.
Su Qi'an admired Yamu Lei. He was worthy of being Da Rong's master of mobility.
He not only dabbles on land, but even on the islands and coasts, he has his own unique insights. Yamulei is a talent.
Not only Yamulei, but also the military advisor Liu Sheng I met before.
A very good counselor.
Compared with Greater Liang, it's not that Greater Liang doesn't have such talents, it's just that Greater Liang has more people. If they use this kind of strategy in internal fighting, as long as they can unite as one and unite with the outside world, it's impossible to confirm that Greater Liang is declining day by day.
Su Qi'an sighed and pushed these thoughts to the back of his mind for the time being. What he wanted to do now was to take over Black Wind Island.
Waiting for the arrival of new recruits, ready for the second fierce battle to break out.
In Su Qian's mind, he really wanted to fight against the pirates in Dongzhou.
After all, in his time, the Japanese had a deep hatred that could not be erased from their ancestors.
Even though he came to this feudal dynasty that did not exist in history, it did not affect Su Qi'an's hatred for the Japanese at all.
At the same time, Xie Cang and Su Kang, where the fiercest fighting broke out on the Yuezhou battlefield, soon received news that Su Qi'an had conquered Black Wind Island.
Seeing this news, Xie Cang, who was originally gloomy, immediately burst into laughter.
That way made Su Kang quite surprised.
This time Xie Cang did not hide anything and directly handed the news from Su Qi'an to Su Kang.
Su Kang glanced around, with deep shock in his eyes, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Xie Cang laughed loudly on the side, "I'm sorry, His Highness the King of Yue, this matter is related to the war in Yuezhou. Brother Su specifically ordered that no one can report it."
"Now that Black Wind Island has been captured, there is nothing to hide. Haha, we can fight back without any worries."
Su Kang came back to his senses and nodded, with a smile on his face, "Well, Marquis Dongshan has his own reasons for doing this, and I naturally understand."
"Now, it's the turn of Lord Lingdong to show off his talents."
Xie Cang nodded, then summoned the messengers and said. "According to my order, the news of the capture of Black Wind Island will be spread throughout the entire army immediately."
"At the same time, the entire Split Mountain Army will work together to break through the third county and join the defenders of the fourth county to annihilate these damn pirates."
The messenger nodded solemnly and left quickly.
Xie Cang turned his head, raised his hand to Su Kang and said, "Your Highness the King of Yue, Brother Su has cleared away all our worries. Now it's up to us. But we must not delay Brother Su's retreat. I, sir, will Go ahead and wait for His Royal Highness the King of Yue to meet at the fourth county."
Su Kang smiled and nodded, his face equally full of pride and he said, "Okay, it depends on whether Lingdong Hou is faster or I am faster!"
Xie Cang did not continue talking to Su Kang. After bowing respectfully, he grabbed the horse's rope and ran away quickly.
Su Kang, who was sitting in the wheelchair, still had a smile on his face, but no one knew that there was a hint of success in Su Kang's smiling eyes.
It stands to reason that with Xie Cang and Su Kang's more than 20,000 troops, they would face only about 5,000 pirates, even if the third county has high walls and thick walls.
It is impossible to stop them from taking an inch for an hour. There are two reasons for this.
First, they were worried that there would be movements on Black Wind Island behind them.
If they attack with all their strength and must devote all their troops, their rear will be empty.
Moreover, the group of pirates in front of them are very experienced. Even if the city is breached, they are likely to jump into the inland waterways and be picked up by people sent from Black Wind Island behind them, allowing them to escape smoothly.
Secondly, I also wanted to teach Xiang Yan a lesson. After all, the order given to him this time was to arrive at the third county town and form an encirclement of the pirates with Su Kangna.
The result was good, but this Xiang Yan did not obey the order and did not speak up, and there were still ink marks along the way.
It was because of his ink that he was caught off guard by the pirates. If Xie Cang and Su Kang hadn't reacted in time and rescued him quickly.
Xiang Yan's men and horses will be eaten sooner or later.
Therefore, after all kinds of considerations, they were still stuck in the third county for an hour.
Now that Black Wind Island had been taken, Xiang Yan had learned enough lessons. Without any worries, they naturally devoted all their forces to storm the third county.
The pirates in the third county were directly attacked by Xie Cang and Su Kang.
Senseless.
They had not yet recovered from the shock of being captured by Black Wind Island, but now they were looking at the Yuezhou soldiers and Split Mountain Army who were approaching menacingly without any regard.
At this time, they were probably sure. Under this all-out attack, five thousand pirates could not stop them at all. It only took less than a quarter of an hour to defeat the third county.
The pirates had the same idea as Xie Cang, and wanted to escape along the waterways within the territory.
But how could Xie Cang and Su Kang give them this opportunity? Even Black Wind Island was captured. If they could still let the pirates escape from under their noses, it would only mean that they were useless.
In the past, the pirates tried to bite them, but now the situation on the battlefield has reversed.
Under the desperate attacks of the Splitting Mountain Army and the Yuezhou Army, the five thousand pirates suffered heavy losses, with only a few hundred remaining. Without exception, these hundreds of pirates were all taken prisoner.
After conquering the third county, both sides rushed straight to the fourth county without stopping.
On the way here, the pirates who stormed the fourth county also heard the news that their lair had been captured. Then, the five thousand pirates who stayed behind were also defeated.
Bad news, one after another, originally wanted to come to the center to bloom, but now it has become a turtle in the urn.
A good hand of cards was played badly like this, causing everyone to panic for a while.
Fortunately, the leaders led by them made a decisive decision, immediately gave up the siege, and directly gave the order to disperse and break out.
Before the defenders of the fourth county could react, they quickly retreated and dispersed to break through. There might be a glimmer of hope.
Without any hesitation, when Xiang Yan was predicting when the city would be broken and he could escape, the pirates who stormed the fourth county city withdrew their troops the next moment.
Xiang Yan was confused by this. The pirates suddenly withdrew. Xiang Yan did not make any move and just watched helplessly.
It was not that he had not received the news that Black Wind Island had been conquered and the third county had also been recovered.
But he was not sure. After all, these two pieces of news were too fantastic. He was afraid that it was a fraud by the siege pirates.
Therefore, even if the pirates suddenly withdrew, Xiang Yan remained indifferent until he saw the Splitting Mountain Army and the Yuezhou Army galloping in the distance.
At this moment, Xiang Yan finally reacted, but what he reacted with him was the impending disaster.
