Chapter 143 Victory!
Outside the west city of Shamen Town, hundreds of pirates surrounded by tightly raised a white flag high. It was a flagpole made of a spear, and the white flag was also a bit strange. It looked like a white mid-lane shirt.
At this time, dawn had just broken through the fog, and a wisp of fish belly had just risen in the east, and the morning sun had not yet appeared.
Seeing the pirates throwing down the weapons in their hands, and then a feeling of relief and ease appeared on their faces, Zheng Balang closed the only one-eyed one in pain. He was stunned in his heart, and he still couldn't believe that he was defeated. And he was defeated so badly, and he was wiped out on the Shamen Island and wiped out the entire army. In the end, more than 400 people surrendered. However, looking at the fear on the face of these people just now and the easy relief after he ordered the surrender, the one-eyed dragon had long understood that these people were already scared. It was not the pirates who had crossed the sea at the beginning, but a group of people who were scared.
In the end, even if he did not take the initiative to surrender, as long as the other party said, he would give his own pirates a heavy reward, and there would definitely be many people rushing to do it.
Looking at his subordinate who had abandoned his weapons and then hugged his head with both hands and lay on the ground like a dog, Zheng Balang felt as if he was ashamed.
When he came, he was energetic and prepared to show Wang Jin his strength, and at the same time he made a lot of money in Shamen Town. For this reason, he almost brought eighteen sea ships, including three of which were 1,500 stone. These three sea ships were brand new merchant ships he had just intercepted on the Liaohai Sea not long ago. Eighteen ships, brother No. 1,500. This has not included the subordinates of Wang Fu, and Wang Fu's two hundred guards had already died.
In addition to the five hundred crew members who stayed on the dock boat, he brought a thousand brothers ashore. But now, Wang Fu and his two hundred were dead. His one thousand horses were now only more than four hundred crew members around him, and many injured. As for the five hundred crew members on the dock, they probably had already landed in the hands of Shamen Zhenjun with his eighteen boats.
After four hundred entry, he once thought about what would happen if he fought hard? Maybe he could fight out of the siege, or bring hundreds of soldiers in the town to die together?
He thought about this possibility, but in the end he had no intention of dying. The fleet could not rob, and the brothers under his command could rob it again, but if his life was gone, he would truly die like a lamp extinguishing and nothing was gone.
He was defeated more than once. When he was a navy officer plundering merchant ships, he had experienced a death escape. Later, he became a pirate, defeated by Wang Jin, and was once again held on his neck by a knife. But he was not dead, and he has lived to this day. He believed that he was valuable to Li Jing. In his opinion, those officers were all a virtue, greedy but fake, and they could do everything in secret, but they always had to be both a bitch and a archway on the surface. He believed that Li Jing was the same. As long as he could speak out and be willing to surrender to Li Jing, he promised to make money for Li Jing like he had surrendered to Wang Jin, and he believed that Li Jing would let him go, and maybe even the fleet would return it to him. Although there would definitely be some control means to check and balance him, as long as he was alive, he would not care about those.
Seeing the white flag raised among the pirates, they saw the pirates taking the initiative to put down their equipment and squat on the side waiting to fall. After a moment of stunned silence, the soldiers of Shamen Town finally realized that the pirates had surrendered. The cheers like mountain cries immediately burst out, deaf. Li Huier and others who were boldly watching the battle on the top of the city also saw this excited scene, and the news was immediately transmitted into the city. The city was also filled with joy, and the crowd cried with joy, and many even began to burn the firecracker poles prepared for the Lantern Festival, and the banging firecrackers sounded everywhere.
Li Jing couldn't help laughing. He thought these pirates would resist to the end, but he didn't expect that the pirates would surrender voluntarily. Well, in this way, it would be avoided in the end and save many casualties.
"Immediately confiscate the weapons that surrendered to the pirates, temporarily tie up and detain these pirates, and strictly guard them!"
He turned to Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian, who rushed over, and said, "Immediately organize the people to clean the battlefield, and immediately rescue the wounded. All seriously injured people will be sent to the city for treatment immediately. Any medicines in need must be sent to buy them immediately. If there is no on the island, take a boat to Dengzhou to purchase. Since they have survived on the battlefield, we must do everything we can to protect them. In addition, all the minor wounded people must also be bandaged and must prevent post-war wound infection."
He specifically ordered the incoming party to find Zhang Hong, and asked him to take him to take the in-house to count the spoils and check the military merits of the soldiers in Dengzhou. "Military merits must be carefully checked, and don't be afraid of trouble. Even if you check it a few more times, you can't make mistakes. All soldiers' military merits must be recorded one by one, and there must be no mistakes, which will make the meritorious soldiers feel resentful. In addition, those soldiers who died in battle, seriously injured and slightly injured, must also check and register immediately. The pensions that should be given and the subsidy for the rewards. Don't be afraid of spending money, as much as you should be. Based on this situation, you will definitely have to add rewards at that time. How much is added? However, the original basic pension reward must be taken first. Remember, there must be no deductions. Once it appears, no matter who dares to make an idea in this regard, don't blame me for turning against me and Li Jing."
In addition, he also asked the people to remember to pick up the scattered weapons when cleaning the battlefield. Even the iron armor, leather armor, helmets, etc. on the corpses must be taken down and must not be wasted. Even if they are damaged, they can be repaired. As for the corpses of the pirates and soldiers, they must be sorted out carefully. The corpses of the pirates were transported to the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and they dug a few big holes there to bury them, but they must be cut down first, and these are useful. The soldiers of their own must be transported back well, and even if the corpses are damaged, they must be found as much as possible. These soldiers will hold memorial services and then be buried by the corpses.
All these trivial matters were handed over to Zhang Hong to organize the people to deal with. Li Jing and the generals looked at the city wall that basically disappeared in the West City, as well as the countless corpses inside and outside the city wall, and the blood-stained land. They couldn't help but sigh that last night was so cruel. If you were a little careless, the final result would be completely different.
Thinking of the information bought by Aunt Gongsun, Li Jing's face couldn't help but look ugly. Five hundred pirates turned out to be 1,200 horses, and there were hundreds of soldiers equipped with iron armor and iron shields, and even dozens of heavy crossbows that caused huge casualties to the soldiers. At this time, he was a little confused about whether Gongsun Juejing knew the truth and deliberately told him half-true and half-false news, or did Gongsun not know the exact information, but the information was wrong?
However, Li Jing has no time to settle the score with Aunt Gongsun. After the war, there are countless things waiting for him to deal with. The four temporary camps outside the city have been burned to white ground, and thousands of soldiers' families have lost their residence.
Soon, under Zhang Hong's arrangement, the people in the city began to leave the city to clean the battlefield. The wounded in Shamen Town were sent to the medical team for a while, and then the dead were searched out from the battlefield and transported away. Then they began to pick up the weapons left on the battlefield, and all of them were taken away, whether good or bad. Even the broken spears and arrows were searched for. Then there were special arrangements for peeling armor and helmets. Not only did they peel off the iron armor, leather armor, and armor from the corpse, but they even searched for them. Finally, the remaining pirate corpses would be sent to the special-level big sword team to kill the subordinates, and then pulled the corpse to the foot of Phoenix Mountain with a car to bury them in a deep pit.
The city gate opened, and teams of women came out of the city. They shed tears at the burned home, and they took sticks to scratch the ashes, hoping to find some surviving items such as earthen jars and pottery bowls. Although the ground nests were burned, life still had to continue. Fortunately, they were all ground nests, so they took out the ashes from the ground nests and cleaned the pits. As long as they built a shed or set up a tent on the pit, they would be another home.
When Li Huier and others came to the victory of the war, they organized the female workers in the workshop, boiled several large pots of water, pulled several buckets of buckets to the city gate in a car, and prepared clean water and towels for the soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield. They also cooked several large pots of porridge, steamed buns, tea, and eggs, and pulled them out of the city gate one by one, and shouted the soldiers to come forward to eat and drink, all for free.
Gui Niang also brought Wan'er to Li Jing with steamed buns and mutton soup. Li Jing ate all four steamed buns in a few bites, picked up the mutton soup and drank it in one sip. He was also angry about the incident when they ran to the city gate building before, and said with a cold face: "I have a lot of things here. You two go home to take care of your mother and sister-in-law." Gui Niang and Wan'er felt a little aggrieved. The girl who didn't join the house brought water and food to her own men, both of whom were very happy to be praised by the men, but Li Jing was not cold to them.
Lin Wei strode over and said to Gui Niang and Wan'er. The doctor entered the second husband and immediately forgot everything about the two girls. He lowered his head and replied in a panic, and happily took the food box back.
Li Jing also wanted to know the situation at the wharf, but he had no chance just now. Now he finally had time and asked: "What is the situation at the wharf? How many ships are there in the pirates? Have we taken them off?"
When talking about this, Lin Wei rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "I was about to report this to the general. This time, the one-eyed dragon of Dogri not only counted 1,000, but also 500. There were not thirteen ships, but eighteen ships, including ten sea ships with 300 stone, and five eight hundred stone ships. The remaining three were 1,500 stone ships with the same appearance as our Ninghai. Dogri, in order to avoid destroying these ships, we finally defeated the pirates left on the ship and captured these ships."
"What? Have you taken all the ships off?" Li Jing asked in surprise.
Lin Wei laughed and said, "Yes, we have taken down all of them. Eighteen sea ships, ten three hundred stone sea ships, five eight hundred stone sea ships, and three one thousand five hundred stone sea ships, and none of them were destroyed. Even the five hundred left behind were killed, and we only killed more than one hundred of the remaining five hundred, and all of the remaining nearly four hundred were captured."
