Water Margin people

Chapter 603 Morale
Back at the water village at the estuary of the Liaohe River, everyone's faces were solemn, and they were worried about the Jurchen's fighting power.

"What are you doing with a sour face? There is a saying that he will let him be strong, and the breeze blows the hills. No matter how good your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives. What is there to be afraid of?"

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and cheered.

"Brother, we are not afraid. What are we brothers afraid of? It's just that we can't think of a way to deal with that Jurchen!"

Lu Zhishen said, they all rebelled, how could they be afraid, but because they couldn't think of a way to deal with the Jurchens, the Khitan and Xixia people had already overwhelmed the Central Plains, and now a more ferocious Jurchens came, how could this battle be fought.

"This is not a problem anymore. Go back and step up your military training. Could it be that the Jurchens have three heads and six arms? They carry one head on two shoulders. What are you afraid of?"

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and said, everyone fell into a misunderstanding, that is, Jurchen is too invincible.

This is because of the times. The army of the Liao Kingdom can suppress the Song Dynasty and fight casually. Even if the Song Army is several times as powerful as the Liao people, it is difficult to win. Now the Jurchens have easily captured the Liaoyang Mansion of the Liao Kingdom. The difference in combat power is huge. It's a world of difference.

"Brother, did you find the enemy's weakness?"

Xu Guanzhong's eyes flashed brightly, but Sun Lei's words were full of confidence.

"I have never believed that there is nothing invincible. The Jurchen Iron Buddha is very powerful. With the kidnapper horse, the combat power is extremely terrifying. It is almost invincible in plain warfare."

Seeing everyone looking over, Sun Lei cleared his throat and said.

"But Jurchen's weakness is also obvious. They are too few in number! You guys know about the servant army. They are the ones who follow the wind. When they fight with the wind, they are extremely ferocious when they are profitable. They are the best minions. , but once the attack is blocked and the casualties increase, they will be a group of cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they will turn against each other at any time."

Sun Lei looked at the crowd and said slowly, the nomads in the north are composed of tribes, and some problems cannot be avoided. They like to recruit foreigners or tribes as cannon fodder in wars, and forming a servant army is one of them.

The servant army is a double-edged sword. If it is used well, it can be a sharp weapon to kill the enemy for free. If it is not used well, it can be a butcher knife that hurts oneself.

"Brother means to attack the elite of his Jurchens. As long as these elites are defeated, the servant army will collapse without a fight."

Xu Guanzhong said.

"But the Jurchens are powerful in combat. In the battle, the servant army must be driven to charge first, and then the heavy cavalry will charge, and the light cavalry will detour."

Gongsun Sheng said, this is not only the common tactics of the Jurchens, but also the common tactics of the Liao people, and it can even be said to be the constant tactics of the entire nomadic people for thousands of years.

"This style of play seems realistic, but it is actually quite rigid. There is no one new move on the battlefield. Only constant change and continuous improvement is the secret to victory."

Sun Lei shook his head and said, the superiority of the cavalry was fully reflected in the Jurchen cavalry, but the Jurchen cavalry is not invincible. Wasn't Tiefutu defeated by the Yue family army?

Of course, Sun Lei didn't like the Yue Family Army, or most of the Yue Family Army, the pure soldiers of the Yue Family Army. They were loyal to the emperor, but they turned a blind eye to what happened to their commander and were indifferent to the survival of the country.

Moreover, after Yue Fei was unjustly killed, the generals of the Yue family army Wang Jun, Wang Gui, Yao Zheng, Fu Xuan, Dong Xian, Xu Qing, Pang Rong, Li Xing, and Li Dao all signed and pledged on the fabricated false accusation letter, identifying Yue Fei and Yue Fei. Yun and his son rebelled.

Whether it is out of loyalty to the emperor or seeking self-protection, Sun Lei cannot accept this kind of behavior of the Yue family army, because of their stupid loyalty, the excellent opportunity to regain the mountains and rivers was wasted, and the country has just been established for more than ten years and occupies a large area of ​​land. The Jin people had time to breathe and gain a firm foothold in Hebei, while the Song Dynasty could only wait for death in the south.

"Brother is right. The cavalry is not invincible. Let's go back and train the soldiers carefully. They all carry a head on their shoulders. Could it be that we can't beat the Jurchens?"

Sun An said, the Jurchens are good at fighting, but they are not made of mud. If they really fight, it is not certain who will win.

Everyone's spirits gradually rose, they were all well-known men in the Jianghu, there is nothing to be afraid of a strong enemy, the enemy should be afraid of them.

"Brother, little brother can't wait to go back to train soldiers!"

Huarong said.

"Haha, let's go, let's go back!"

Sun Lei said with a smile, the Jurchens have already captured Liaoyang City, and the entire Liaodong is controlled by the Jurchens, and they are not safe here.

The army packed up, boarded the ship and set sail to sea.

The journey went relatively smoothly, and the fleet soon reached the islands north of Dengzhou.

"elder brother!"

Sun Lei had just entered the archipelago, and Fei Bao greeted him with his fleet.

"Brother Fei Bao, why are you here? Is there a war?"

Seeing Fei Bao appearing, Sun Lei asked suspiciously, there is still a hundred miles away from Salmonella Island.

"Brother, I found a fleet of foreign merchant ships, and Ni Yun and the others are leading the fleet there."

Fei Bao only talked to the distance.

"Alien merchant ship? Take it for me, don't run away with any of them, if you dare to enter this sea area without my consent, you are looking for death."

Sun Lei looked at Fei Bao and said, this sea area is now Liangshan's territory.

"Don't worry brother, he will be back soon."

Fei Bao nodded.

The crowd went all the way to Salmon Island, only half way, Ni Yun, Bu Qing, Di Cheng led the fleet and chased after them.

"Brother, sank a group of Japanese merchant ships, captured more than [-] Japanese people, and dozens of boxes of pearls, silver ingots, and raw gold!"

Ni Yun pointed to a group of people tied to the ground and said.

"Japanese people? Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Sun Lei looked at the group of Japanese with Mediterranean hairstyles and asked.

The group of Japanese looked at Sun Lei blankly, with an innocent look on their faces.

"Hu Yanqing, it's time for you to perform! Ask where they came from."

Sun Lei waved Hu Yanqing out.

"Brother, they said that they are Japanese, and they were ordered by their emperor to go to see the emperor of Song Dynasty with gifts."

Hu Yanqing opened the mouth and said.

"What are you doing seeing Zhao Ji? Do you want some calligraphy and painting?"

Sun Lei asked suspiciously, what Zhao Ji can do is just calligraphy and painting.

"Brother, the Japanese ask for the same things every time. They are nothing more than books on medicine, farming, and craftsmanship. They will also ask for some skilled craftsmen or send a group of students to study."

Hu Yanqing said, he didn't even need to ask the Japanese about these things, every time the Japanese sent people to give gifts, it was for these things.

"Tell him if the road is blocked, kill them all and throw them into the sea to feed the fish."

Sun Lei waved his hand and said that he would not take advantage of these "study" Japanese people. As the saying goes, the apprentice of the church starved to death of the master, and the white-eyed wolf is like the Japanese.

"Brother, I'm coming!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to kill someone, Li Kui immediately stepped forward with an axe.

But this time I learned how to be smart and knew that the deck should not be dirty, so I hoisted it overboard and killed them all with an axe.

"Brother, I didn't dirty the deck this time."

Li Kui said with some pride.

"Okay, you killed well."

Sun Lei waved his hands.
