Outside the west city of Shamen Town, a white flag was raised high in the center of the hundreds of pirates who were tightly surrounded. It was a flagpole made of a spear, and the white flag was also a little peculiar, it looked like a white mid-shirt shirt.

At this time, the sky has just dawned, the morning light has broken through the fog, and a touch of fish belly white has just risen in the east, and the morning sun has not yet appeared.

Watching the pirates drop their weapons one after another, and then a sense of relief and relief grew on their faces, Zheng Balang closed the only remaining eye in pain. He was in a trance for a while, and he still couldn't believe that he had lost. And it was defeated so badly, it was dismantled and sunk in the sand on Salmon Island, and the whole army was annihilated. There were more than 400 people who put down their weapons and surrendered, but looking at the fear on the faces of these people just now, and the ease of relief after he ordered the surrender, One-Eyed Jiao had already understood that these people were already frightened. It's no longer the pirates who roamed the seas at the beginning, but a group of frightened people.

At the end of the day, even if he didn't take the initiative to order surrender, as long as the other party said a word and gave a heavy reward to the pirate who took his head, there would definitely be many people scrambling to do it.

Looking at the subordinates who lost their abandoned weapons, and then lay on the ground with their heads in their hands like dogs, Zheng Balang's heart was like ashes.

When he came, he was in high spirits, ready to show Wang Jin his strength, and by the way, he made a lot of money in Shamen Town. For this reason, he almost poured out of the nest, bringing with him eighteen sea ships, of which three were 1,500 stone ships, and these three sea ships were brand new merchant ships that he had just intercepted in the Liao Sea. Eighteen boats, fifteen hundred brothers. This is not counting Wang Fu's dead ghost's subordinates, Wang Fu's two hundred guards have already died.

In addition to the five hundred crew members who remained on the dock ship, he brought a thousand brothers ashore. But now, Wang Fu and his 200 men are dead. His 1,000 men and horses are now left with more than 400 people around him, and many are injured. As for the five hundred crew members on the dock, it is estimated that they have already fallen into the hands of the Shamen Town Army along with his eighteen boats.

Four hundred, he had thought about it. What will be the result if you fight to the death? Maybe you can fight your way out of the encirclement, or pull a few hundred more town soldiers to die together?

He thought about this possibility, but he didn't have the heart to die at the end. There is no more in the fleet, and there is no more to recruit the brothers under him, but if his life is gone, the real person will die like a lamp going out, and there will be nothing.

He was defeated more than once, when he was a naval officer who plundered merchant ships. He had a near-chance death. Later, he became a pirate, was defeated by Wang Jin, and was once again put on the neck with a knife. But he didn't die, he lived to this day. He believes that he is valuable to Li Jing. In his opinion, those officers were virtuous, greedy but fake, and did all kinds of dirty things openly and secretly. But on the surface, he always has to be both a bitch and a memorial arch. He believes that Li Jing is the same, as long as he can say that he is powerful, willing to surrender to Li Jing, and promise to make money for Li Jing as he did when he surrendered to Wang Jin, I believe that Li Jing will spare his life. Maybe even the fleet will be returned to him. Although there will definitely be some means of control to balance him, as long as the little life is there, he doesn't care about that.

Seeing the white flags raised among the pirates, and seeing these pirates take the initiative to put down their weapons. Squatting to the side and waiting for the hair to fall. The soldiers of Salmon Town were stunned for a moment, and finally understood that the pirates had descended. The cheers like a mountain immediately erupted and were deafening. Li Hui'er and others, who were boldly watching the battle at the head of the city, also saw this exciting scene. The news was immediately transmitted to the city. The city was also immediately jubilant, everyone cried with joy, and even many people began to burn the firecracker poles prepared for the Lantern Festival, and the sound of banging firecrackers was everywhere.

Li Jing couldn't help but laugh, originally thought that these pirates would resist to the end, but he didn't expect that the pirates would take the initiative to surrender. Fortunately, in this way, the fish were also avoided from dying and the net was broken, saving many casualties.

"Immediately collect the weapons of the surrendered pirates, temporarily bind and imprison these pirates, and keep them strictly guarded!"

He turned to Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian, who rushed over, and said, "Immediately organize the people to clean up the battlefield, and immediately rescue the wounded." All the seriously injured were immediately sent to the city's medical escort team for immediate treatment, and any medicines that were lacking were immediately sent to buy them. If there is no one on the island, immediately take a boat to Dengzhou to purchase. Now that they've all survived the battlefield, we'll have to do everything we can to keep them. In addition, all the minor wounded had to be bandaged to prevent the wounds from becoming infected after the war. ”

He specially ordered someone to bring Zhang Hong in, and asked him to take someone to be responsible for counting the spoils of war and Dengzhou to check the military exploits of the soldiers. "Military merits must be carefully checked, don't be afraid of trouble, even if you check it a few times, you can't make mistakes. All soldiers' military exploits must be written down one by one, and there must be no mistakes that will make the meritorious soldiers feel resentment in their hearts. In addition, those soldiers who are killed, seriously wounded, or lightly wounded in battle should also be immediately checked and registered, and the bereavement pension should be paid, and the reward and subsidy should be subsidized. Don't be afraid to spend money, you have to be as much as you want, based on this situation, you will definitely have to reward it then. The amount of the reward has to be considered, but the original basic bereavement reward has to be issued first. Remember, there must be no deduction, once discovered, no matter who dares to fight this idea, don't blame me Li Jing for turning his face and not recognizing people's hands. ”

In addition, he told the people to remember not only to collect the scattered weapons when cleaning the battlefield. Even the iron armor, leather armor, helmets, etc., on those corpses, must be collected and must not be wasted. Even if it's damaged, you can repair it when you take it back. As for the corpses of those pirates and warriors, they must also be carefully sorted out. The corpses of the pirates were transported to the foot of Phoenix Mountain, where several large pits were dug and they were buried, but the heads had to be cut down first, and these were useful. And their own soldiers have to be transported back alive, even if the corpse is damaged, they must try to find all of them. These soldiers who died in battle will be commemorated at a unified memorial service, and then handed over to the unified burial.

These trivial matters were handed over to Zhang Hong to organize the people to deal with, and Li Jing and the generals looked at the city walls of Xicheng, which basically no longer existed, as well as the countless corpses inside and outside the city walls, as well as the blood-stained black land. I couldn't help but sigh, last night was so cruel. The slightest carelessness can make a completely different difference.

Thinking of the information bought from Aunt Gongsun, Li Jing's face couldn't help but be a little ugly. Five hundred pirates turned out to be 1,200 men, and among them were hundreds of soldiers armed with iron armor and iron shields, and even dozens of heavy crossbows that caused huge casualties to the townspeople. At this time, he was also a little unsure whether Gongsun knew the truth about Lu Dao and deliberately told him half-truths and half-truths, or did Gongsun also not know the exact information of Lu Dao, but the information was wrong?

But at the moment, Li Jing doesn't have time to settle accounts with Aunt Gongsun, and after the war, there are still countless things waiting for him to deal with. Four makeshift camps outside the city have burned to the ground, and thousands of soldiers' families have lost their homes.

Soon, under Zhang Hong's arrangement, the people in the city began to go out of the city to clean up the battlefield. The wounded in Salmen were sent to the medical team for a while, and then the war dead were searched for and transported from the battlefield. Then it was time to start searching for the weapons left over from the battlefield, both good and bad. Even the broken spears and arrows that had been shot were all searched. Then someone specially arranged to strip the armor and helmets, not only to peel off the iron armor, leather armor, and armor on the corpses, but also to search for their belongings. The remaining corpses of the pirates will be sent to the Broadsword Team that specializes in cutting off the heads, and then the corpses will be pulled to the foot of Phoenix Mountain by cart and buried in a deep pit.

The gates opened, and groups of women came out of the city, weeping as they looked at the burned house, and scratched the ashes with sticks, hoping to find some surviving items of clay pots and bowls. Although the nest was burned, life had to go on. Fortunately, there are all nests in the ground, dig out the ashes in the nests, and then clean the pits, as long as you make a shed or set up a tent on the pit, it will be a home again.

Seeing the victory of the war, Li Hui'er and others organized the female workers of the workshop, boiled several large pots of water, and sent them to the city gate with a few buckets pulled by car, and also prepared clean water and towels for washing their faces for the soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield. He specially cooked several large pots of porridge, steamed buns, tea leaves, eggs, etc., and pulled them outside the city gate one by one, loudly beckoning the soldiers to come forward to eat and drink, all for free.

Gui Niang also took Wan'er to Li Jing to send steamed buns and mutton soup, Li Jing ate all four steamed buns in a few bites, took the mutton soup and drank it dry, and some were angry about the things they ran to the city gate tower before, and said with a cold face: "I still 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, other people's women sent water and food to their men, and they were all praised by men very happily, but Li Jing was lukewarm to them.

Lin Wei strode over and said to Gui Niang and Wan'er, the eldest lady and the second lady, and immediately forgot what the two women were happy about. bowed his head and replied with a little flustered, and happily went back with the food box.

Li Jing has also been trying to know the situation of the Langdao Wharf, but he didn't have a chance just now, and now he finally has time, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the situation on the other side of the wharf?" How many ships are there for the pirates, have we taken them? ”

Speaking of this, Lin Wei rubbed his hands, and said excitedly with his eyes: "I was about to report this matter to the general, and the one-eyed Jiao of the dog day not only came in number of a thousand this time, but far exceeded the number of five hundred. Even the ships are not thirteen, but a full eighteen, of which ten are 300 stone ships, and five are 800 stone ships, and the remaining three are 1,500 stone sea ships that look like our Ninghai. Damn, for fear of ruining these ships, it took a lot of effort for us to defeat the pirates left on the ships and take them. ”

"What? You took all the ships? Li Jing asked in surprise.

Lin Wei smiled and said: "Yes, all of them were taken, eighteen sea ships, ten three-hundred-stone sea ships, five eight-hundred-stone sea ships, and three one-thousand-five-hundred-stone sea ships were all taken, none of them were destroyed, and even the five hundred sailors who stayed behind we only killed more than a hundred people, and the rest of the nearly four hundred people were all captured." ”

"Well done!" Li Jing was so happy in his heart that he was so excited that he couldn't speak when he took Lin Wei's hand. (To be continued.) )
