Chapter 596: Clearing the Harbor

Bright torches had been lit in the harbor of Ben Harbor, and from time to time there were crisp gunshots on the pier, which were the resistance of the firecrackers who had landed to clean up the place.

Just now, Yang Feng had already led the first batch of landed firecrackers to annihilate all the hundreds of pirates who were stubbornly resisting on the dock, and it took more than an hour of fighting to completely eliminate the pirates on the dock.

Since there were no more large-scale pirates nearby, the warships of the Fujian Navy Division had already begun to enter the port and began to dock at the docks.

"Whoa......

"Whoa......

The blood that had been solidified on the deck poured into the sea like a waterfall under the wash of a large amount of seawater, and the scene was spectacular. Due to the large amount of blood in the seawater, the deck is still not very clean, despite repeated cleaning. The smell of blood still wafts through the air. It seems that unless the fleet sails out of this area, it will be possible to find clean water.

At this moment, Liu Xiang sat on a stool in the cab and closed her eyes to recuperate, even the iron beaten people couldn't hold it after a day of high-intensity fighting, Liu Xiang was no exception, although she felt very tired, but she still insisted on staying in the wheelhouse to command, and the two bloodshot eyes were still staring at the dock in a daze.

Heavy footsteps sounded, and Uncle Qin's voice sounded on the side: "Lord Deputy Admiral Qiqi, the casualties of our army in today's naval battle have been counted. ”

Liu Xiang didn't speak, just quietly leaned against the bulkhead and slowly closed her eyes.

After waiting for a while, Uncle Qin's voice still didn't sound, Liu Xiang couldn't help but open his eyes and glance at him, just said one word: "Read!" ”

"Yes!"

Uncle Qin gritted his teeth: "Our army's results today are that a total of 65 enemy ships were sunk and wounded, 75 ships were captured, 3,867 people were captured, and the enemy was killed. Our troops were sunk by three sixth-class battleships and one fifth-class battleship, with 267 killed and 331 wounded. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Liu Xiang's mouth couldn't help twitching, two hundred and sixty-seven sailors were killed, and more than three hundred were wounded, although this cannot be said to be a pain in the bones for the Fujian Navy, but such a loss still makes her feel distressed, you must know that cultivating a qualified sailor is not a matter of a few days or even months, it takes a long-term process, fortunately, now the Fujian Sailor Academy has become formal, and it can provide a steady stream of officers and sailors for the Fujian Navy, otherwise these losses alone are enough to make Liu Xiang feel distressed and bleed.

"Okay, I got it. I know that the soldiers have worked hard today, but the battle is not over yet, Hou Ye is personally leading the soldiers to clear the remnants of the enemy in the port, you have to arrange the sentry and patrol people, and you must not let those routs touch the ship at night, understand? ”

"Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely arrange it." Uncle Qin patted his chest and slapped the package ticket.

Liu Xiang nodded: "That's good, you go down first, I'll squint for a while." ”

Uncle Qin glanced at Liu Xiang, who was tired and had bloodshot eyes, but he grew up watching Liu Xiang grow up, and he knew that it was useless to persuade her at this time, the only thing he could do was to make up for Liu Xiang as much as possible, do the following things well, and share her pressure more.

In a courtyard of the port, with the sound of dense firearms, the originally fierce shouting and killing gradually calmed down, and after a while, Yang Feng, who was dressed all over his body, pushed open the courtyard door and entered the courtyard under the support of dozens of family members.

The courtyard was now littered with corpses, and judging from the costumes of these corpses, almost all of them were pirates, and only a few were civilians dressed in civilian clothes.

Seeing Yang Feng enter the courtyard, a general manager wearing iron armor gave him a military salute with some excitement and said loudly: "Lord Qi, the villain and others have roughly cleaned up the port, and this is already the last stronghold of the Haikou entrenchment, please give instructions to the Hou Ye." ”

"Well done!" Yang Feng nodded appreciatively, patted Mr. Bai on the shoulder, and praised: "Our Jiangning army pays attention to rewarding meritorious service, and punishing mistakes, so that Sima in the army will record the merits of you and all the soldiers, and you will have your own rewards in the future." ”

"Thank you, Master Hou!" Bai is overjoyed, the Jiangning Army has the most important military merits, and the reward is also extremely rich, like tonight's battle, whether it is him or an ordinary sergeant, everyone's reward is less than a dozen taels, and more can even reach dozens of taels, and many people even have the silver to marry their daughters-in-law after a battle.

With the ability to never block the promotion channels of ordinary sergeants and officers and to be able to send down the rewarded silver in a timely manner, this is also one of the main reasons why the combat effectiveness of the Jiangning Army can be crowned by the Ming Dynasty, so this Bai Zong never doubted the authenticity of Yang Feng's words.

"Let's go!"

With the sound of shouting, more than a dozen sergeants escorted several pirates out.

After Yang Feng saw these captured pirates, he curiously walked over and stopped them: "Who are they?" ”

One of the leaders was shocked when he saw Yang Feng and Bai Zong standing in front, and quickly stood up straight and reported: "Qi Qi Hou, this is the villain and the brothers just caught in the backyard, at first these people were quite fierce, and wanted to play with us, the villains gave them a platoon of guns and killed more than ten people, so they took advantage of the chaos to catch these guys who wanted to run." ”

"Oh......"

Yang Feng took two steps forward with some curiosity, took a torch from the hand of a family member next to him and approached it.

These four or five pirates all have big shoulders and round faces, and at first glance they are ruthless characters who have been licking blood for a long time and ignoring life, especially the one who is faintly protected by several pirates in the middle, who looks like he is in his thirties, although he has been taken prisoner, but his two eyes are constantly turning, and he is obviously a clever person.

Yang Feng looked at this person and smiled faintly: "Can you tell me, who are you?" ”

"Phew!" A pirate spat thick phlegm in front of Yang Feng and shouted: "Today, grandpa fell into your hands, if you want to kill you, if grandpa is ...... Bang......"

With the sound of a firecracker, the pirate didn't finish his words, his head burst like a broken watermelon, and a stream of blood rose from the heavenly spirit cover, and then the pirate fell to the ground like a heavy sack, although he was already dead, but his body still twitched several times before stopping.

"Can anyone tell Benhou who you are now?" The smile on Yang Feng's face, which was holding a pistol with a meow green smoke in his hand, was still so plain.

The pirate at the head sighed lightly: "Master Hou, don't embarrass them, tell you that the villain is Zheng Zhifeng, the fifth master here!" ”
