Chapter 22 The villain's ambition
It was only at this time that Blackbeard knew that Lu Dao was afraid, and knew that he had completely kicked a super hard iron plate today, so he didn't have the heart to fight anymore, and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, evacuate here immediately, and flee into the nearby mountains and forests.
And he himself also beckoned the cronies who followed him, ready to clean up the soles of the guy's feet and smear the oil, but at this moment, in the formation of the sea wolves below, suddenly three rockets emitting red light flew up, and these three red rockets also whistled and made a sharp sound to the sky.
Blackbeard suddenly had an ominous premonition, which made his hair stand on end, as if he was suddenly targeted by a fierce beast in the mountains and forests, which made him exude a cold air in his bones, so he hurriedly turned around and wanted to lead people out of here quickly.
But at this moment there were suddenly several muffled noises near him, and a cloud of smoke rose from several inconspicuous places, some in the dense canopy, some in the crevices of the stones, and the nearest place was in a bush of grass less than a hundred paces away from him.
The pupils of Blackbeard's eyes shrank suddenly, and then his body was as if he had been electrocuted, and suddenly several clouds of blood mist rose in several places on his body at the same time.
The cronies who surrounded him could hardly believe their own eyes, they could not have imagined that so many enemies were hiding so close to them, and so suddenly and without warning came to kill their palms.
Blackbeard's body shook a few times, looked down at several blood holes on his body, raised his head and glanced at the places where the smoke had not yet dispersed, and muttered in his mouth: "Planted ......" Before the words fell, he fell to the ground, and his body suddenly became a ball, and the blood quickly spread under his body, staining a large stone red.
Those of his subordinates all screamed in surprise and rushed up to save Blackbeard, but at this time, several more clangs rang out one after another from several places, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rose up, and several of Blackbeard's subordinates around him were knocked to the ground one after another.
The rest of the fellows were really frightened, and one by one they screamed in horror, and they scattered like frightened rabbits, and plunged into the nearby mountains and forests, and no one looked back at the body of Blackbeard who fell to the ground.
It wasn't until here that more than a dozen figures appeared from the surroundings, vigilantly glanced at the surrounding situation, and quickly pulled a cordon, one of them carried a single knife, flew to Blackbeard who fell to the ground, looked down and checked Blackbeard's body, the single knife in his hand flashed, and he chopped off Blackbeard's head with a knife, and with a roar in his hand, he quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests with these dozen ghostly people.
After Yu Xiaotian defeated the attack of the bandits below, he immediately ordered the infantry of four companies to launch a pursuit lightly, and the sea wolf troops of nearly a thousand people immediately rushed out of the mountain with a roar, stepping on the corpses of the bandits covering the bottom of the valley, and chasing and killing the bandits who were so frightened that they fled frantically.
The battle was pursued until after dark, and the four companies each gathered their soldiers and withdrew to the valley with torches, and the battlefield in the valley was basically cleaned up by this time.
Thousands of bandits became prisoners of the officers and soldiers, and under the command of the officers and soldiers, piles of bonfires were lit in the valley, illuminating the entire valley.
The bodies of the bandits who were killed in the afternoon were also carried together, and they were dug and buried in the low-lying places of the valley, and there were many injured bandits who were not dead, and they kept making terrible howls, but Yu Xiaotian could not do anything about these injured bandits, so he could only order them to mend their knives and end their suffering as soon as possible.
After this battle, Yu Xiaotian led the army, in the whole valley, slaughtered nearly 2,000 bandits, captured more than 2,000 bandits, and only ran away about 3,000 bandits, although they were not able to annihilate them all, but the most important thing was to set up an ambush in advance, and finally kill the thief leader Blackbeard on the spot.
As long as Blackbeard is killed, then even if this gang of bandits runs away, it is no longer a matter of worry, those Blackbeard's cronies will not obey anyone, and after they go back, they will inevitably fight to the death, and finally break up, and it will be difficult to become a big thing in the future.
So at this point, Yu Xiaotian has completed the suppression of Blackbeard, and then he can go home.
When Blackbeard's head was escorted back to Fuzhou City by Yu Xiaotian and presented in front of Xiong Wencan, Xiong Wencan was really happy, but the faces of those Fujian generals and some civil officials who looked down on Yu Xiaotian were extremely exciting.
These people originally made up their minds and were ready to see Yu Xiaotian's jokes, and some even had prepared a bullet seal, planning that as long as Yu Xiaotian couldn't get rid of Blackbeard and a gang of thieves, he would immediately go to the bullet seal and impeach Yu Xiaotian, even if he couldn't get Yu Xiaotian to die, at least he would be disgraced, and he would never be arrogant in Fujian in the future.
But unexpectedly, in less than two months, Yu Xiaotian wiped out Blackbeard's gang in one fell swoop, cut back 2,000 heads, captured more than 2,000 prisoners, and brought Blackbeard's head back to Fuzhou City.
When the war report was just sent to the Fuzhou Governor's Yamen, many people still didn't believe that it was true, and even Xiong Wencan himself didn't dare to believe it, so the Governor's Yamen, together with the Fujian Third Division, sent a group of officials, and rushed to Yong'an County to check the results of the battle.
The officials who went were on the way, and they were still pondering, and they felt that the battle report sent back by Yu Xiaotian was ironclad and greedy, even if he got 3,000 heads, it was estimated that it was like Zhang Jiace's generals in the past, and they used the method of killing good people and risking merit.
Even some people have already made up their minds, and if they find that there is a fake, they will immediately impeach this Yu Xiaotian, so that he can't eat and walk around.
But what these people never expected was that when they arrived in Yong'an County, in the military camp outside the city, they were still shocked when they saw the piles of human heads that had been treated with lime.
They jointly reviewed the true situation of the battle in Yong'an County, not only questioned Yu Xiaotian himself and his soldiers, but also interrogated a lot of stragglers who were controlled by Yu Xiaotian, and even those captured thieves were also interrogated a lot.
Yu Xiaotian led his troops into Blackbeard's ambush, and finally defeated Blackbeard's group, killing a large number of thieves on the spot, and capturing a large number of thieves.
Such a result is really a great victory, and it is not excessive at all, so all the officials who rushed to check the actual results closed their mouths one by one and dispelled the idea of demolishing Yu Xiaotian.
Even the local magistrate and a large number of gentry in Yong'an praised Xiaotian's military management methods, and they all spoke for Yu Xiaotian, which really made those guys who were ready to watch jokes depressed, but they had no farts to put out.
When Yu Xiaotian led his troops to evacuate Yong'an County, even a large number of local people rushed to both sides of the mountain road outside the city to bid farewell to Yu Xiaotian's people and horses.
The officials and soldiers have always been despised by the common people, and it is too late to hide in ordinary times, and almost no one has ever seen an official army that can be so supported by the people.
They really can't figure it out, Yu Xiaotian himself used to be a thief, and most of his subordinates were recruited by pirates, how could he be so supported by the people after being appeased, but it was the officials and soldiers brought out by the legitimate generals who usually claimed to be the pillars of the country, and they were all despised by the people.
But the facts are in front of them, so that these people can't accept it, they can only look at Yu Xiaotian depressed with a villainous expression on his face, riding on a tall horse, showing off his might and accepting the cheers of many people, Shi Shiran led the army to leave Yongan County.
After leaving the boundary of Yanping Mansion, Yu Xiaotian ordered Li Dazui to lead most of the generals of the headquarters to return to Weitouwan first, while he himself led three hundred men, plus that Zhang Qianzong, to rush to Fuzhou City with the head of Blackbeard.
After listening to the reports of the officials who went to Yong'an County to check the results of the battle, Xiong Wencan's heart blossomed, and when he looked at Yu Xiaotian again, how did he feel pleasing to the eye, and sighed in his heart Fortunately, he made such a wise decision last year, and he recruited Xiaotian and accepted him as his confidant, and now he has finally received a reward, how can he not make Xiong Wencan feel happy!
Therefore, Xiong Wencan praised Yu Xiaotian fiercely in public, which can be said to be unstingy, praising Yu Xiaotian as a flower, and he couldn't wait to go down and hug Yu Xiaotian and kiss him a few times.
The rest of the generals and some officials, their faces were full of embarrassment, and they could only accompany the smiling faces next to them, and congratulated Xiaotian one by one.
Yu Xiaotian inevitably gave these people a few big eyes, and let out a good breath of evil in his heart, as for those guys who were originally waiting to see the jokes, they could only laugh, even if they were not convinced, they had nothing to say.
Although this battle was fought by Yu Xiaotian with troops, it was considered that Xiong Wencan was in charge of scheduling, and it could be regarded as a lot of favors to Yu Xiaotian behind his back, so once the saint was in the dragon Yan Dayue, he would also be indispensable to the benefits of Xiong Wencan.
