"This Luan Tingyu, they are cavalrymen, but they went behind us!"

Xu Shiliu said in dissatisfaction:

"I've seen the training of the two of them with their precious cavalry. Third brother, they are going to dismount at the last battle, that is, they are used as 20 infantrymen. I think we won't wait for them anymore!"

Xu Shiliu lost face in the new army, but changed his nostrils to Xu Shiyang, but now he looked down on Luan Tingyu and Sun Li's horse-riding infantry.

"You also know that they are cavalry." Xu Shiyang smiled and said, "Cavals have their use of cavalry, even inferior cavalry."

"Wait until they come. After we come, we will go and meet the dock owners nearby."

...

It is somewhat different from what Xu Shiyang expected at the beginning, the local fortress owners had only a little more than 1,000 reinforcements, and 25 forts from three families.

Rizhao has weak soil and the size of the fort is usually a little smaller than that of Juzhou, but it is not as high as 25 forts to raise 1,000 people. It seems that the reinforcements are not particularly active in the rescue of Rizhao Port.

In other words, they appeared here just to guard against the Japanese pirates scattered and plundering while attacking Rizhao, which affected the ongoing spring plowing.

After all, not all the families have ships that can be traded. A family without sea ships has little to do with the family that controls Rizhao Port, so they don’t care much about whether they will be captured by the Japanese.

Of course, there are also more positive ones.

For example, the Wang family lives seventy or eighty miles east of Rizhao, they are not involved in the sea trade, but because they have a marriage relationship with the Xu family (Xu Shiyang's biological mother comes from this family, that is, the Wang family is Xu Shiyang's uncle's family), and the Xu family has five boats in Rizhao, which is more involved, so the Wang family is obviously concerned about the rescue of Rizhao than the other two families.

However, the Wang family also needs spring farming. Even if the whole family can temporarily put down the farm work, there will be only 500 people.

When fighting abroad, he consumed his own food and grass, and he was still worried about his family's fields. The Wang family did not dare to take the initiative to attack at least 3,400 Japanese pirates, so he could only gather with two other reinforcements, which was to restrain the Japanese pirates' forces for Rizhao.

The Japanese pirates seemed to know that they could not grab anything in the inland areas. The fortress soldiers did not take the initiative to attack, and they were too lazy to come and fight. They just sent hundreds of people to block several roads and confronted the fortress soldiers. Their main force was still besieging Rizhao, and they had a momentum that they would never give up until they achieved their goal.

When Xu Shiyang met with reinforcements, several core fortress masters from the three families were gathering together to discuss the next step.

Compared with the Xu family, who had to use foreign surnames for the poor population, the fort owners of these three local tyrants are basically people of the same surname and family, so it is easy to be divided into three distinct factions.

"We can't hold on like this!"

Where everyone was discussing, a lord named Ding couldn't help but stand up and shouted:

"The farm work at home cannot be delayed. I think the Japanese can't defeat Rizhao for a while. Even if they fight, they don't have time to rob. I suggest that we break up and go back to their own houses!"

The Ding family is far away from Rizhao and has no relatives or economic relations with Hong Kong. This time, the troops were sent purely to prevent the Japanese pirates from plundering them in private after capturing Rizhao.

Seeing that Rizhao had been under pressure for a long time, even if the Japanese pirates captured the port, they would not have much power to rob the countryside. Therefore, several Ding family members shouted loudly, wanting to disband reinforcements and go home to take care of more important fields.

"Brother Ding's family, even if the Japanese no longer plunder this year and taste the sweetness, how do you know that they will not come again next year?"

Wang An, the 2nd Castle of the Wang family, said loudly:

"I won't teach you a lesson this year when their teachers and veterans are tired. Starting next year, they will be the second Tartar. How much grain does your family have to keep to pay tribute to them every year?"

"Haha, Wang Er, don't think we don't know." The boss of the Ding family sneered and said, "Your family and the Xu family in Juzhou are in-laws. Is it because of the five ships of the Xu family?"

"Don't forget that those Japanese pirates were attracted by Xu Muze. Now they have already been dragged by the Zhang family in Rizhao for them. Why do you want to drag our Ding family into it together?"

This is too heartbroken, and it sounds like some reason - the Japanese pirates came to rob because Xu Muze missed wealth and felt that there was oil and water in the Xu family fleet and Rizhao Port.

In fact, even the Wang family is now quite dissatisfied with Xu Muze.

The meeting site was a little deserted, and the Wang family felt unreasonable, so they did not continue to argue with the Ding family.

Another local powerful man surnamed Bao, which is neutral between the two families, hopes to end the Japanese turmoil as soon as possible, just like the Wang family.

The family of Bao's family is less than 20 miles away from Rizhao Port. Japanese pirates arrived day and night, so they dared not be as sure as the Ding family that the Japanese would not rob them after breaking Rizhao.

However, they have some differences with the Wang family in how to end this Japanese riot.

"Can you send someone to contact the Japanese?"

A Baobao whispered:

"The Xu family has solved the problem caused by the Xu family. Is it good to give half of the 5 ships in their family? "

"Nothing!" Wang Ping, the boss of the Wang family, stood up and scolded: "Not to mention 2.3 cargoes can satisfy the appetite of the Japanese. They will come again next year. Whose cargo will you give to the Japanese?"

"It was caused by the Xu family, so I'll let the Xu family make a big spy?" The fortress leader named Bao yelled with his neck: "Why are our families going to send troops to protect the Xu family's property?"

"I don't know that our family has spent their money to get involved in that trouble."

A cold voice rang out.

The Baobao lord turned his head suddenly and looked at the person talking.

At this time, Xu Shiyang was riding on a war horse, facing the evening glow, and looking back and forth at these local castle owners with bad eyes.

The local fort owners were all blinded by the sunset, and they could not see Xu Shiyang's expression at this time.

However, in a trance, they could squint their eyes and barely see a strong warrior wearing iron armor looking straight at him with his right hand holding a horse whip. The dazzling sunlight spread on the strong man, as if he was wearing a layer of golden cloak.

23 fully armed cavalry lined up in two rows (20 cavalry, Luan Tingyu, Sun Li and Xu Shiliu riding a pack horse), like a pair of huge wings, spreading behind this god of war cavalry, forming a charge formation against the local castle lords.

"Who are you?" The Fortress Lord surnamed Bao shouted in surprise.

"Shi Yang?" Wang An took the lead in reacting and called out in surprise: "You are the little sister's baby Xu Shiyang!"

"Second uncle." Xu Shiyang immediately nodded to Wang An, saying hello.

"Everyone."

Xu Shiyang said to all the fortress owners present:
Chapter completed!
