Yellowbeard smiled and nodded, "This attack on the thief's den went so smoothly, it all depended on General Li's strategy, and he was like a god." Before leaving, I didn't quite believe that these thieves would stupidly leave the cottage and really run to Chisha Reef. Who would have thought that these people were really so stupid, General Li was really a god. ”

Duan Shan pulled out the arrows inserted in the armor, and felt distressed at the same time, although this mountain armor is the best to prevent arrows, but it can be shot by arrows, and it is still somewhat damaged. Damn, the first time I put it on for battle, I was damaged so much, I felt sorry for him.

"I'm a little worried about the general's side now, there are only a dozen merchant ships on the general's side, in case Yi Ming finds out something, wouldn't it be dangerous to intercept the general's fleet directly?"

"Don't worry, although Ji Yu is young, he is actually as cunning as a fox. is like Feng Ming, and ten together is not his opponent. Yellowbeard smiled, "Besides, don't look at the merchant ships on his side and think it's easy to bully, if you really want to be right, you will suffer a big loss if you think like this." ”

While Yellowbeard was on the island, he watched Li Jing load the same ordnance from his lavish armory onto those merchant ships. Every guy is a good thing that makes Yellowbeard envious, and in addition to the most equipped Fuyuan crossbow in Shamen Town, the ship is also equipped with four kinds of heavy crossbows: wooden crossbows, large wooden crossbows, bamboo pole crossbows, and large bamboo pole crossbows. In addition to these feared heavy crossbows, Li Jing also equipped a total of eight winch crossbows on four large ships, if the Fuyuan crossbow with a range of 300 steps is already a heavy crossbow, then the winch crossbow that can be driven by dozens of people at a time has a range of up to 1,000 steps, it can only be called a giant crossbow.

Except for these heavy crossbows. Overweight crossbow. Li Jing's fleet is basically equipped with a bow. And it is equipped with a large number of individual crossbows.

In addition, Li Jing's fleet was also equipped with two kinds of naval warfare weapons, a gun carriage and a slapping rod.

The gun carriage was a catapult, and the gun carriage on Li Jing's ship was loaded on several large sea ships weighing 1,500 stones. Each artillery cart was loaded with twelve pounds of stone bullets, and the attack was 200 paces away, which was much better than the ballista. The slapping rod is a must-have thing on the ship, and Li Jing actually loaded this thing on the ship. Except for the four 1,500-stone large sea boats, each equipped with six huge slapping rods, Li Jing even the other boats were all equipped with smaller slapping rods.

Who really thought that Li Jing was carrying nineteen merchant ships. Then he was very wrong, Yellowbeard, who had many years of experience in the sea, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after seeing Li Jing's modified weapons.

Yellowbeard shook his head, no longer imagining the miserable situation of those who thought Li Jing was bullying and beating him, but he was beaten instead. With a wave of his hand, Ha Luha smiled and said, "The battle is over, and it's time to harvest." Brother Duan, you are General Li's plenipotentiary representative, let's go together to receive the results of the battle. ”

The huge cottage in the valley is littered with corpses, wounded soldiers, and prisoners. The members of the special team have all learned battlefield first aid. At this time, he began to clean and bandage the wounds of those injured Zhendong Sea pirates, as for those wounded on the other side. Then no one cares.

There were originally nearly 5,000 people in the cottage, but one group left and went to the sea, and there were 1,000 people in that group. There are more than 4,000 left, and in the short battle just now, the pirates in Zhendonghai actually killed more than 300 people, and there are another two or three hundred wounded. The rest of the three thousand men and women were taken prisoner and were driven to their knees.

The pirates in Zhendonghai left a group of lightly wounded people to guard the prisoners, and Yu Jiedu began to scavenge the entire cottage for money, food, and property with great skill.

The pirates raided the stockade very professionally, searched in batches and divisions, and even captured hundreds of captives to ask for hidden belongings. Under this kind of scraping and looting, soon, all kinds of grain, cloth, and even my copper coins, gold and silver, jewelry, and even a lot of furs, pigs, sheep, cattle and horses, and many looted goods were piled up in the open space in the village.

Yellowbeard gave a very bold order to divide these booty into four, one of which was a reward for all those who participated in the war, and one for everyone. A portion is also offered as a pension and allowance for those killed and wounded in battle, as well as a reward for the brave who have performed well in battle. There are two copies left, one for Zhendonghai and one for Shamen Town. In order to show justice, he also called a few people who could write to register the loot, and asked Duan Shan to check it. After reading the joke for a while, I lost half patience with it.

At this time, Redbeard and Blackbeard each walked over with a scimitar that they had copied, pointed to the captives and said, "Second brother, what about these captives?" ”

Yellowbeard remembered Li Jing's explanation, so he said: "Let these people carry the loot back to the ship together, and then tie them up to the bilge." Brother Ji Yu said that these people are useful, and they are going to trade with Qingnipu and exchange them for some cattle, horses, cows, tendons, iron, copper and other things. ”

Redbeard smiled: "San Lang really doesn't want to let go of anything, anything can be exchanged for money, for what you want." You say that if we were like this with him, and we have been doing business for 20 years, wouldn't we have become rich and rival the country long ago? ”

Several people laughed, and after more than two hours of looting, almost all the property in the village was looted. Even under torture, even several underground cellars in the thieves' dens were dug up, and they were full of copper coins, many of which had been piled up for so long that even the strings of the coins were rotten, and the copper coins were scattered.

In charge of the registration is Mr. Zhao, the old account keeper of Zhen Donghai, who held the account book of the registered Lu and came over excitedly to report: "The master, the big harvest." After the brothers searched the rest of the one-eyed Jiao's nest, they obtained more than 300 boxes of copper coins, estimated at 200,000 yuan. In addition, the thieves saved enough grain for 5,000 people in the village to eat for three years, about 40,000 stone of grain. In addition, there are more than 10,000 horses of silk, more than 7,000 horses of cloth, and more than 1,000 horses of silk silk. There are also as many as 1,000 taels of gold and silver collars, as well as pearls and precious stones worth tens of thousands of yuan. ”

"What about the others?" Yellowbeard was a little interested in the seized grain, copper coins, and silk cloth, but in fact, the gold, silver, and jewelry, these were not too interested. After all, grain is the foundation of long-term docking, and copper coins and silk cloth can be traded in exchange for what is needed. However, gold, silver, and jewelry are not things in circulation, and if you want to use them, you have to exchange them first, and then they are valuable jewelry, and if the pirates want to exchange them, they can't actually exchange much money at all.

"And we seized more than 1,700 horizontal swords, more than 800 spears, and more than 500 shields, and more than 300 collars of leather armor, and more than 500 bows and arrows, and more than 20,000 arrows. There are more than 100 sets of arm crossbows and horn bow crossbows, as well as more than a dozen volcanic crossbows and six throwing guns. The rest consisted of more than 300 cattle, more than 2,000 sheep, more than 500 pigs, more than 50 mules, more than 100 donkeys, and more than 30 horses. ”

"What kind of mules and horses?"

"They are all big mules and war horses, and they are probably also robbed by the sea before." Mr. Zhao said with a smile. Cattle and sheep are very expensive in the Central Plains, but they are cheap in Ziqing Town, which has a large amount of smuggling trade with Liaodong. But if it's a mule and horse that can be used by the military, it's expensive. At this time in the late Tang Dynasty, all the horse-producing lands such as Liaodong and Liaoxi were lost, and the land of horse breeding in Hebei was divided into feudal towns. Only the horses of the Hetao in the northwest remained, but they were also invaded by the Hu people, and the supply of horses was greatly reduced. Nowadays, in the armies of many feudal towns, the cavalry is short of war horses, and even some feudal towns have built mule soldiers, all of them ride mules, and even specially set up mule army soldiers and horses.

More than fifty mules and more than thirty horses, if they can be used by the military, this is indeed a great gain. Duan Shan, who was standing on the side, was full of excitement, the last battle on Cat Island, he harvested three hundred war horses, and the reconnaissance was divided into thirty-six, what a face. It's a pity that he happened to be transferred to the head of the special team, and none of the thirty-six horses had a share in their team. Watching the brothers of the other two teams riding high-headed horses, the envy in their hearts was not to mention.

"A few masters, you see that we don't want our share of other rewards this time, how about giving these horses and mules to our special combat team?"

This harvest is indeed very rich, and it can be worth at least 400,000 guan roughly by a rough calculation. If according to the plan for dividing the spoils set by Yellow Beard before, a quarter of the 100,000 guan will be taken out to reward everyone, and more than 3,000 people, one person can almost get more than 30 guan. Only 70 people participated in the special combat team, and the total number of people was only 2,000. But the average of those horses and mules cost hundreds of taels, and the total value was at least six or seven thousand taels.

"You kid will do the math, so that all these horses and mules will be given to you, but the other rewards will not be shared by you."

"Yes, no problem, we just need the horses and mules." More than 50 mules and more than 30 horses, at this moment, the special combat team can be regarded as one horse, and after going back, see how the other two teams are still angry with them, Duan Shan replied excitedly.

Yellowbeard and the others looked at this huge harvest, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, after all, those who farm the land are not as good as those who sell, and those who sell are not as good as those who run the sea. But it is better to rob than to run the maritime business, but this robbery is not as fast as the black eats the black. The one-eyed Jiao was also a little prestigious in Liaohai before, and he gave Wang Jin more than 100,000 yuan of property every year over the years, and he was able to accumulate so much money, but now it is all cheap for the pirates and Shamen Town in the East China Sea.

"Let the brothers and the captives transport all of them to the ship at once, and the brothers' share should be explained to the brothers first, and then distributed after returning to the brethren."

For a time, nearly 3,000 Donghai pirates and more than 4,000 one-eyed pirates' women and children worked together, carrying their shoulders, pulling cattle and packs, and not letting go of a grain of grain, all of which were transported back to the ship.

Then, Zhen Donghai ordered all the captives to be tied up and all of them were locked in the bilge.

The white sails were hoisted and set sail again. (To be continued.) )
