"Old prefect, old prefect, Caofu was defeated. I heard that he was captured alive!"

Han Wenjing attacked from the downstream, and the mines could mix and drift down slowly along the water flow. His losses were much greater than those of Eunuch Zhang. More than 20 boats exploded, and they were in a state of turmoil. Suddenly, when he heard someone yelling on the shore, he jumped up in shock.

He led 4,000 water and land to attack Mengchengyi from the downstream. He had an absolute advantage in both manpower and weapons. However, not only did the water surface not go smoothly, but the land attack was also strangled, even if he had two red cannons.

The key is that on Mengcheng Post, there were piles of sand and sand fortifications that were chest-high. The Folang machine cannon and tiger squat cannon were placed in semicircular fortifications. They were stacked layer by layer on the outside, with eight to ten layers of sand and sand. The shells of the Red Cannon could not be penetrated. Generally, they were exhausted after three to five layers. The Red Cannon fired slowly and had a small number, and the scattered attacks could hardly play a big role.

Only two shells were lucky enough to break into the position, killing more than ten people by jumping. Instead, the Ming army was hit by rounds of shotgun strikes. The formation was full of corpses, which was extremely tragic. Moreover, because the Revolutionary Army adopted scientific formula pellet medicine, the range of the Folang machine cannon and the tiger squat cannon was farther than that of the Ming army, which made most of the Ming army's light cannons unable to drag them to the front of the formation to counterattack.

"What's going on, make it clear!"

Han Wenjing shouted loudly.

The man on the shore said, "The cannons of the thieves were accurate and ruthless. In one round, they knocked down the red cannons of Caofu, and then launched a charge. The people of Caofu were defeated after a little contact. The navy led by Eunuch Zhang was trapped in the canal and could not move, so they were forced to surrender to the thieves."

"waste!"

Han Wenjing cursed.

A subordinate asked, "Old Grandpa, do we still want to fight?"

Han Wenjing was a decisive person, and he gritted his teeth: "Fight against his mother, withdraw back to Yangzhou!"

The flags were waving and orders were issued. Unlike the warships that were blocked upstream, the ships that were sunk due to thunder were in the upper reaches, and they could turn around calmly. Each ship turned around in turn and sailed back in turn. The soldiers on the land ran away and didn't even need artillery.

Jiang Zhi knew that his troops were not enough to pursue him, so he just waited for the Ming army to go away and began to pack up his weapons.

...

The revolutionary army pursued Shi Kefa's defeated army and chased for ten miles before returning slowly. It was about evening and finally cleaned up the battlefield. In this battle, a total of one No. 2 blessed ship, more than 30 Hailun ships and Cangshan ships were seized, including the weapons and ammunition on the ship. Four Red and Barbarian cannons, more than 100 each of the Folang machine cannons and tiger squat cannons, Thunder cannons, Lumi guns and bird guns were captured, and nearly 4,000 Ming army cannons were captured.

Li Xin looked at the prisoners in the field. Many people looked numb, and some people were whispering and joking, without the awareness of being a prisoner. He Hu cursed from the side: "This official army in the court is not a good thing. Don't worry, the commander-in-chief, teach me, and teach me, He. In less than three days, I will keep it and obey the post."

"this……"

Li Xin frowned and looked at Xing San who had arrived after hearing the news.

Xing San clasped his fists and said, "Commander-in-Chief, we may not be able to raise so many people before the wheat harvest. The old man concluded that he could only raise 10,000 soldiers at most, unless he could eat a few more big families."

Li Xin waved his hand and said, "We are regular soldiers, not thieves or officials. It's okay to confiscate the homes of corrupt officials, but we can't make a living by robbing the family. Erju, please pay attention to what big families in Gaoyou have. You can see what public grievances are. You can secretly visit the victims, collect evidence, and then settle the accounts with them when the time is right."

Gao Guiying said despisedly: "Isn't this called robbing a family?"

Li Xin avoided answering and smiled back: "Sister Guiying, remember you promised me. When you go back to the city later, you wash it clean and wait for me on the bed. If you feel wronged, I can also give you a concubine."

Gao Guiying did not retort for the first time, and a panic flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Xing San also looked at Hong Niang anxiously. He didn't like Li Xin taking a concubine. A man, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines? The main reason is that Hong Niang has not made any progress with Li Xin until now. He was anxious and wanted Li Xin to marry Hong Niang immediately and decide the title of the Empress of the Palace.

But Madam Hong's pretty face was a little depressed and shook her head slightly.

Li Xinquan pretended not to pay attention and said, "What the San Uncle mentioned makes sense. If you only keep the navy this time, you will not commit a letter of fame. Huanghai, you will explain our treatment and policies clearly to the surrendered soldiers. If you want to stay, you will stay. If you don't want to, release a few steamed buns on the spot."

"Get orders!"

Huang Hai left.

"Let's go and visit Caofu, haha, our parents in Huaiyang area!"

Li Xin waved and the group followed.

Shi Kefa, Eunuch Zhang, Xu Shao, Xu Kai and other officials were escorted by the river, and there was no communication between them, and their expressions were more or less uneasy. Suddenly, a general shouted: "Here you come!"

Everyone looked up and hundreds of people came quickly.

Shi Kefa immediately shouted: "Everyone is holding your back up for the headquarters. Even if you die, don't lose the emperor's face!"

The officials, including Eunuch Zhang, stood up one after another, straightened their backs, and forced themselves to look over.

Xing Wu couldn't help but smile: "Commander-in-Chief, Shi Kefa is quite arrogant. Should he kill his majesty first?"

Li Xin shook his head: "Shi Kefa is a rare loyal and righteous man in the Ming Dynasty. He is honest and upright. To put it bluntly, such a person is just a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard. If you give him a ruthless one, he still wants it. Don't want to fall in love with him."

As he said that, he bowed forward and laughed: "I am Li Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, but Mr. Dao Neighbor (Shi Kefa calls himself)?"

"snort!"

Shi Kefa snorted lightly, looking at the sky, too lazy to pay attention to Li Xin.

Li Xin was not upset, walked up to him, looked at Eunuch Zhang, and asked with a smile: "Eunuch Zhang wants to die?"

"Um?"

Eunuch Zhang trembled all over and screamed: "Our family is the slave of the emperor. Today, he fell into the hands of the thief. How could he beg for his life from the thief and defame his reputation. You should kill our family, our family... would rather die than surrender!"

"oh?"

"Play!"

Li Xin slapped Eunuch Zhang's fat and white cheeks in surprise, and felt very disgusting. He immediately called out: "Since Eunuch Zhang wants to die, okay, come and greet him and ask Eunuch Zhang to go to the tiger bench!"

"Get orders!"

A group of personal guards rushed forward happily, held down Eunuch Zhang, and a few others made a simple tiger bench.

"No, don't come here!"

Eunuch Zhang realized something was wrong, and kept shouting, and his body shrank back, but the guards ignored him, lifted his hands and feet, put them on, then placed his body upright at a 90-degree angle, tied it to a wooden pillar, tied his hands, tied his thighs tightly on a wooden bench, and a piece of cloth was stuffed into his mouth!

Only then did Eunuch Zhang's eyes were almost glaring out.

Li Xin said: "Present punishment!"
Chapter completed!
