Chapter 813 Another enemy fleet arrives!
"Order everyone to come out of the deck!"
"The cabins must be cleared!"
Zhou Zhengyu continued to issue orders.
With his orders, a large number of Cangshan ships and sword-tooth ships gradually leaned towards the pirates' warships, preparing to control these warships.
After a while, the remaining sailors of the Yang family fleet all came out of the cabin and gathered towards the deck. They were not carrying weapons, and they all stood on the deck with their hands high, maintaining the surrender posture as much as possible, so as not to cause misunderstandings from the Tiger Army Navy.
Then, the various warships of the Hu Ben Navy slowly approached the pirate ship. They threw out the flying bulwarks, or laid springboards, and successfully boarded the pirate ship. They skillfully controlled the cabins, rudders, masts and other key parts. The heavy anchors were put down to fix each pirate ship.
"Sir, the pirates have really surrendered."
Wang Shide put down the Qianli Mile Mile and said excitedly again.
In this regard, the pirates no longer have the possibility of false surrender. Their warships have been fully controlled by the Hu Ben Army, including six large warships. All the pirate sailors are on the deck. As long as the warships of the Hu Ben Army Navy are shot over, they can be killed and injured. I believe the pirates will not do such stupid things.
In fact, Yang Tiansheng himself was soon escorted by Aimes and several sailors to appear on the edge of the deck of the Feiyun. Judging from Yang Tiansheng's obedient surrender, he was indeed going to surrender. The original owner of the Yang family fleet had his head down and was extremely frustrated. If it weren't for the two tall and big Tiger Army soldiers next to him, he would have suspected that he would have been completely paralyzed on the ground.
Li Jicheng took the lead in boarding the Feiyun flagship and confirmed the surrender. Not long afterwards, Zhou Zhengyu also boarded the Feiyun flagship and personally verified the relevant surrender. After half a cup of tea, Zhou Zhengyu played the flag words to Zhang Zhun, saying that everything was related and had been checked. Yang Tiansheng did surrender. The Feiyun flagship was completely controlled by the Hu Ben Army, and Zhang Zhun and others could pass by safely.
"Go over!"
Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly.
His boat slowly leaned over and was closely linked to the Feiyun. Since Feiyun was a real big ship, a large ship with a displacement of 800 tons, the side of the ship was much higher than the warship Zhang Zhun was riding, so Zhang Zhun had to climb a section of rope ladder to reach the Feiyun deck.
Fortunately, people including Saiviara can climb, and this small rope ladder cannot defeat them. Dugu Lie, Lu Yidian and other snipers took the lead and deployed warnings, and then Zhang Zhun. After Zhang Zhun, Saiviara and others also quickly arrived on the deck of the Feiyun.
Zhang Zhun appeared on the deck of Feiyun, and saw Yang Tiansheng sitting weakly in the corner of the deck, curled up into a small ball. Next to him, there was blood everywhere. In front of him, there was a corpse. Below the chest of the corpse was covered with white cloth, only a young face was revealed.
"This is my son, I just committed suicide!"
Yang Tiansheng sat on the ground, muttering to himself, his expression haggard, as if he would faint at any time. Looking at his expression, he did not look like the owner of the Yang family fleet at all, nor the former pirate leader at all, just like an incompetent old man who was killed by a second-generation official and a second-generation rich man, but he could not seek justice for his son.
Everyone who came up to the deck of Feiyun had a strange feeling when they saw this scene, they just felt that this old man was also very pitiful. Although the battle just now was very fierce, the Hu Ben Navy suffered great casualties, and everyone hated the pirates very much. However, now that others have surrendered, everything is over. For such an old man, you can rush up and chop him up and chop him into meat sauce, which seems to be a big deal.
"His son committed suicide?"
Zhang Zhun asked Zhou Zhengyu in a low voice.
"Yes. I have verified that it is indeed his son, named Yang Pengling. He just said that his son did not die in our hands, but in Zheng Zhilong's hands. They were all deceived by Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong used a knife to kill people and encouraged them to come north to cause trouble for us, but they were all annihilated by us. His son discovered the truth and couldn't accept it. He was angry and angry, so he drew his sword and committed suicide."
Zhou Zhengyu nodded and replied in a low voice.
Zhang Zhun looked at Yang Tiansheng and then at the corpse covered by white cloth beside Yang Tiansheng. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. Yang Tiansheng's statement was reasonable. It was not surprising that a young man could not withstand such a blow. It was completely understandable that his son died unjustly, and Yang Tiansheng hated Zheng Zhilong.
Perhaps, Saiviara's suggestion is indeed correct. Since Yang Tiansheng and Zheng Zhilong have such a deep hatred, he might really give Yang Tiansheng a chance to let him disgust Zheng Zhilong. Even if he cannot truly weaken Zheng Zhilong's strength, at least he can attract Zheng Zhilong's attention to avoid interference from behind.
Saiviara whispered: "It's really Yang Pengling. I've seen him, but I didn't expect that he would commit suicide. Zheng Zhilong really wants to exterminate the Yang family this time!"
She did know Yang Pengling, so she would not admit her mistake at this time. The body was covered with a white cloth below the chest, and only the head was exposed. It was indeed Yang Pengling's face. Yang Pengling's face was stiff and his pupils spread, and he was obviously dead.
"My son is good friends with Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Sen (Zheng Chenggong). Zheng Zhilong deceived us. My son was so angry that he committed suicide..."
At this time, Yang Tiansheng, who was paralyzed on the ground, muttering to himself, feeling like the poor Xianglin Sao. The people next to him couldn't help feeling a little when they heard his words. Zheng Zhilong was so vicious that he could use such a harsh attack on his partners. Yang Tiansheng was also unlucky enough to be fooled by Zheng Zhilong and had nothing left.
"Why did Zheng Zhilong deceive you?"
Wang Shide asked in the jam.
"He said you don't have large warships at all."
Yang Tiansheng answered in a silly manner.
It seems that the defeat of the Yang family fleet and the suicide of his son have indeed hit the pirate leader very much. Now he looks like a pitiful old man, full of aggrievance and despair, and lingering hatred. Well, if any normal person is, in the face of such a situation, he will probably collapse.
"He is my eldest son, and all my efforts are on him. If he dies vigorously on the battlefield, it will be considered a matter of death. However, he died under Zheng Zhilong's conspiracy. He and Zheng Chenggong are good friends! How could their Zheng family be willing to do this? I really don't understand..."
Yang Tiansheng seemed to be twenty years old, and he seemed to be nothing but muttering to himself. He cursed the Zheng family over and over again, feeling that today's tragedy was caused by Zheng Zhilong's deception. Without Zheng Zhilong's instigation, the Yang family fleet would not have been against the Hu Ben Army at all, and would not have fallen to the point where he is today.
Zhang Zhun frowned. He always felt that Yang Tiansheng didn't seem to be the one who surrendered so easily. However, others said so, and other people's son also committed suicide. It seemed that there was no benefit to kill him with one knife. Forget it, let him have a way out.
In fact, the people around Zhang Zhun have basically forgiven Yang Tiansheng. It’s not that they are too kind-hearted, and they are all Mr. Dongguo. It’s really pitiful that Yang Tiansheng looks like now. Before they knew it, everyone thought that Zheng Zhilong was the murderer behind the scenes, and Yang Tiansheng was just a pitiful person.
Yang Tian was fooled by Zheng Zhilong. The fleet was gone and his son was gone. Even if the Hu Ben Army chopped him up, there seemed to be no place to vent his anger. To really vent his anger, it would be better to find Zheng Zhilong. Bullying such an old guy is useless.
"Take him away!"
Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said in a low tone.
"I want to take my son away, I want to bury him with my own hands..."
Yang Tiansheng was snot and tears, muttering pitifully to himself.
Zhang Zhun naturally would not refuse such a request from the poor man. After all, others were a father and son. The white-haired man gave birth to a black-haired man. The scene was indeed a bit tragic. Zhang Zhun did not refuse, and the others did not refuse, so everyone just let Yang Tiansheng make his own arrangements.
Two completely disarmed pirates came up and used a wooden board to lift Yang Pengling's body and sent it to the side for special storage. When they were docked, Yang Pengling's body was transported away. In this era, as long as it was possible to bury it in the ground, it would be as much as possible. Especially those with some status were unwilling to bury the sea.
Yang Tiansheng surrendered, and was paralyzed on the ground with weak energy. He had no weapons on his body, so there was no need for the Hu Ben Army to tie him up, so everyone let him sit on the ground and continue muttering to himself. Anyway, there were snipers next to him, so he gave Yang Tiansheng a pair of wings and couldn't fly out. I believe Yang Tiansheng would not do such a stupid thing.
At this point, the war was completely over. The sound of cannons that had been boiling for several hours finally subsided. The red sunset hung on the western sea surface, emitting a series of rays of glow, covering the sea surface with a layer of golden yellow. Looking from a distance, it was very beautiful.
However, if you get closer, you can't see it. There are floating debris everywhere on the sea, and all kinds of debris are there. There are floating corpses everywhere, including pirates and the Tiger Army and Navy. The constantly rolling sea water, the waves that stir up are dark red. If you get close to the sea, you can still smell a strong smell of blood.
A large number of broken ships floated helplessly on the water, waiting for someone to deal with. Most of these ships were damaged by the superstructure and the substructure was basically intact. As long as there were no strong winds and waves, they would not sink easily. As long as someone was working hard and the assistance of the tugboat, they could be successfully pulled back to the port for maintenance.
"You guys are all busy!"
Zhang Zhun said to the people around him.
Zhou Zhengyu and others dispersed and were busy with their own affairs.
Although the battle is over, the Hu Ben Army still has a lot to deal with.
First of all, the losses of the statisticians. The Hu Ben Navy lost a lot in this battle. According to preliminary incomplete statistics, the number of sacrifices and missing persons exceeded 350, and the number of injured more than 500.
Now, the bodies of a large number of sacrificed Hu Ben Army naval soldiers are still floating on the sea. Their souls have not yet been rested, and the Hu Ben Army must dispatch more salvage boats to fish their bodies up and then bury them.
When they joined the Hu Ben Navy, Zhang Zhun promised that as long as there was a point of possibility, they would bring their bodies back to the land and would never let them float on the sea. Now, this promise must be fulfilled.
The losses of the warship were that the main masts of four sword-toothed ships were broken and needed to be overhauled. There were eight sword-toothed ships that needed maintenance before they could sail again. There were four Cangshan ships that needed to be overhauled, and almost all the others needed to be repaired.
In general, the losses of the Hu Ben Navy were really quite large. The losses of personnel accounted for about 30% of the total number of three fleets. The losses of warships, except for those that require overhaul, all other losses need to be repaired. Such losses have never been seen in the history of the founding of the Hu Ben Navy.
Of course, victory is also huge. The entire Yang family fleet was annihilated by the Hu Ben Navy. What is the concept of the entire Yang family fleet? A Portuguese warship with a displacement of 800 tons, five three-masted gunships with a displacement of 600 tons, more than 30 armed merchant ships with a displacement of 200 tons, and more than ten other warships.
Although the battle just now was very fierce, the personnel on both sides suffered great losses. In fact, there was no sunken warship. In other words, all the Yang family fleet ships are still floating on the water, waiting for the Hu Ben Navy to deal with it.
For most pirate ships, as long as they do not engage in battle and sail alone, it is still possible. For example, the Feiyun flagship and five three-masted gunships can all sail to the Quail Bay Shipyard for overhaul. From here to the Quail Bay Shipyard, there is only less than fifty miles of water, and even if a turtle climbs, you can climb.
A small number of pirate ships that have completely lost their power can be used to traction with merchant ships and tow them all back to the Partridge Bay Shipyard for maintenance. The most serious loss of these pirate ships is the main mast. As long as the shipyard replaces the main mast and sails for them, they can basically continue to be used again.
Zhang Zhun would definitely not take ordinary pirate ships seriously, but this Feiyun flagship and five three-masted gunships were Zhang Zhun's treasures. After these six large warships were captured by the Hu Ben Navy, they were very helpful for Xue Zhidie's warship design. Talking about things on the drawings is completely different from talking about things.
