Chapter 456: Gan Ning, who appeared late
On a sunny noon, the seagulls rose and fell in the air, playing happily, and one seagull broke away from its companion and landed on the highest point above sea level, the mainmag of the five-masted ship.
The seagulls tilted their necks and looked down at the dense ships on the sea, including nearly 200 medium-sized and large-sized ships with masts, and more than 10,000 large and small fishing boats that were either flat or overturned.
Boats are close to the golden sand, and in addition to the towering coconut palms, countless humans stand on the beach.
The "Chu" and "Cao" banners everywhere are the Chu army's army covering the entire main island of Zhoushan, except for 10,000 sea divisions guarding the ships, 100,000 sea and land troops have boarded the main island to rest.
Among them, there are 5,000 naval divisions, land divisions, and eight banners on the beach, and the main generals at all levels are mostly gathered here in addition to the personnel on duty.
The fifteen-thousand-strong army seemed to draw a hollow circle on the beach, and in the middle of the circle were the pirate captives, and the more than 15,000 pirates who had participated in the resistance were tied up and squatted together.
The rest of the men and women were divided into piles, except that they were not tied up, and there was no requirement to squat.
"General Wu, the captives captured this time are all the members of Zhou Tai's headquarters, together with more than ten small Haikou forces who came to take refuge, a total of more than 130,000 prisoners."
Wei Yan, who was reporting, was a little depressed on his face, and pointed to the bunch that was being bound:
"There are less than 20,000 captives who are barely young and strong, and they are basically in this pile.
There are more than 90,000 women and children, and there are no more than 10,000 elderly people over 50 years old......"
After listening to Wei Yan's report, Wu Peng said with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"What? I still blame Zhang Bai for stealing the limelight from you! ”
The battle entered the climax from the melee between the two armies, and when Wei Yan led the remaining 40,000 Eight Banner soldiers to participate in the battle, it had already begun to turn to the end, and Wei Yan didn't even have a chance to touch the enemy after a battle.
In addition to his excellent command, Zhang Baiqi also had a record of shooting five people and killing three people.
"Don't dare!"
Wei Yan said with a visibly uncomfortable face.
"Marquis Wei Yanjun! Don't forget the cultivation of your lord! ”
Wu Peng warned, and waved his hand to signal that he could retreat.
Wei Yan's face did not get much better and returned to the team of generals, which made Zhang Bai in the team bow his head, embarrassed to look at him, this general who had just dominated the field, and now he has become a subtle young general.
Wu Peng's eyes were like the barcode scanner of the supermarket in later generations, sweeping the faces of every general, and a smile began to slowly appear on his serious face:
"Although Zhou Tai did not find it, the capture of the largest island on the southeast coast indicates that our naval battle is close to a complete victory, and the last piece of the Han sea territory has been taken back under his rule.
The world is big, the four seas are wide, will let our naval ships gallop, our Han maritime merchants will enter and exit the sea at will, and our Han fishermen will rest assured and bold to go out to sea to fish.
Future! The sea route will become the main road for our Han to communicate with the world, and become a hub with the world!
……
A new era is coming! The age of great sailing belonging to the naval division is not far away!
Our Great Han Navy Division will win! The Chu army and the sea division will win! ”
"The Great Han Sea Master will win! The Chu army and the sea division will win! ”
At first, it was the sea soldiers on the beach, and then the sea division on the ship, the soldiers on the island, and the shouts of 110,000 soldiers.
As Wu Peng said, this victory heralded the coming of a new era, and China has since opened the prelude to navigation.
The captives were taken into custody, and the 110,000-strong sea army was divided into three routes, one of which remained on the main island, and the two routes of which were the remaining islands off the southeast coast, each of which was the target of the search.
Zhang Bai, who had made great contributions, set off with the fleet again, this time it was divided into the road led by Wu Peng, and the flag soldiers under his command were also expanded to 10,000.
Dozens of medium and large sailing ships, thousands of large and small fishing boats, surrounded a small island that was hundreds of times smaller than the main island.
The island was lined with greenery and many birds, and from a distance it looked like a primitive island ruled by birds, and the red flag waved on the five-masted sea ship, the flagship of the fleet, and thousands of large and small fishing boats broke away from the group and sailed towards the island.
This is the tens of thousands of banner soldiers led by Zhang Bai.
"This is the sixty-first island that has been cleaned in the past dozens of days, Cao He ordered everyone to cheer up, and after searching the island, they can rest on the island for a while!"
"No!"
"The whole army is on alert!"
"The whole army is on alert!"
It is worth mentioning that the heralds all spoke Chinese without exception, and none of the flag soldiers showed doubts that they did not understand.
This is the thousandth time that tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers have heard this sentence in the past few days, and to be honest, it is difficult to learn this Chinese sentence or not.
The flagmen only lifted their spirits a little, and their faces were more bored.
The flag soldiers took the lead to seize the beach and landed, built a defensive formation, and then landed by the main soldiers and the marine division, and finally the flag soldiers took the lead and searched the whole island after the main soldiers, and the marine division stayed behind to guard the landing point and guard the landing ship to be responsible for responding.
They have played this tactic dozens of times, and it can really be regarded as not a single battle, and no one on the island said that there was no one on the island, and it was said that someone faced such a large army, and only the old and weak pirates were left, and they surrendered directly when they were found to hide.
So this time they didn't take it seriously either.
Zhang Bai's face did not have the boredom on the faces of ordinary people, but kept looking at the island, and the seriousness made Cao He, who acted as an adjutant, a little incomprehensible.
Cao He turned his head and yawned, and was thinking about whether to stretch his waist, when the boat suddenly shook violently.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
Zhang Bai, who was lying on the boat with his whole body, shouted, his eyes staring at the feather arrow that was still trembling on the bow of the boat, this feather arrow was facing him, if it wasn't for the upturned bow "blocked", this arrow would definitely hit him, maybe it would kill him.
The flag-bearers instantly entered the battle state, and the deep-water flag-bearers had already jumped into the sea.
"The former army is still a foot from the bottom of the sea!"
"The left army is still a foot and a half from the bottom of the sea!"
"Right Army...... One and a half feet! ”
Zhang Bai's heart tightened when he heard the report, and in order to occupy the height of people, more than half a zhang could drown them, let alone go into the water and fight back with a bow and arrow.
Zhang Bai was thinking about whether to launch an attack when the sound of bells suddenly came from the island.
"Jingle Bell~"
The bells rang one after another, obviously not one or two, and then out of the woods on the shore of the island came a strong man dressed in brocade, with a bell tied around his waist, carrying a long knife on his back, and holding a bow and arrow.
"Listen to the Cao army generals in front, I am Yun Mengze Gan Xingba, since Yun Mengze started to the East China Sea today, I and your Cao army have always been well water and do not interfere with river water!"
