The pirates were finally defeated, Zhang Bin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked the pirates to resist desperately, and the casualties of the guards would definitely not be small.

After all, these guards are here to help, if the casualties are too great, Dajin will definitely be everywhere, if that's the case, he really has no shame to face Jiangdong's father.

Fortunately, fortunately, the pirate did not resist, as soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, a strong pain immediately hit, beads of sweat the size of beans burst out of his forehead, and his face slowly turned pale.

However, at this time, he is not the original weak scholar, he didn't know how much suffering he had endured in his previous life, and he was very resolute, and he could still bear this pain.

Now that the situation is very good, it is best to drive the pirates back to the sea in one go, so that the people of Binh Duong will be safe.

He endured the pain and ordered, "Quick, the archers follow me, don't give them a chance to breathe." ”

With that, he grabbed the horse's belly, held the reins in one hand, and rushed forward.

Seeing this, Zheng Ming, who was following aside, hurriedly waved his hand, followed closely with more than a hundred archers, and rushed forward.

He looked at the feather arrow on Zhang Bin's arm as he ran, and couldn't help but persuade: "Lord County Commander, why don't you go back first, we will be here here." ”

Zhao Xing, who was guarding the side, also persuaded: "Yes, Lord County Commander, the pirates have been defeated, why don't we go back first?" ”

Zhang Bin shook his head resolutely and said: "No, everyone is working hard for the people of Pingyang, how can I, as a parent official, go first, this injury is nothing, you don't need to persuade anymore." ”

When everyone heard this, they had to shut down and silently escort him and rush forward.

At this time, the pirate leader was dead, and the small leader was also cut down by Zhang Guan, the pirates were already in chaos, plus that wave of more than 400 throwing guns, I don't know how many casualties were caused, the pirates were already panicked, where did they still have the heart to turn back and resist, all the pirates were running wildly, fleeing to the beach on the side of Beishan Village.

What puzzled Zhang Bin was that the sword and shield men, spearmen, and sword soldiers in front of him were also running desperately, as if they had a deep hatred with the pirates, and they kept biting on it.

You don't have to do this, just chase them to the beach and drive them back to the boat, why are you trying so hard?

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are they doing, why are they chasing so desperately?" ”

When Zheng Cai on the side heard this, he panted and said: "For the first merit, a widow has fifty taels of heads!" ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he suddenly realized.

In recent months, he has been reading the book of soldiers, which includes books on the art of war, various work procedures of the Ministry of War, and rules and regulations of the army, among which are methods for calculating military merits.

The military exploits of the Ming Dynasty were divided into the first merit and the war merit.

The first merit is very simple, it is based on the number of enemies' heads as the standard of reward, which is a bloody tradition that has continued since the Qin Dynasty.

The reward for the first merit is also divided into two categories, one is promotion, and the other is the reward silver.

According to the regulations, if you kill the enemy's head, you can be awarded an official position, and of course, you can also choose a silver reward.

However, if the average soldier wants to choose to be promoted, it will be stupid.

The early and middle Ming Dynasty was better, but the process was more complicated and the time was very long.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there is no background, you want to be promoted, it is simply a dream, the first rank is handed in, and the military merit directly becomes the officer himself, or the officer's relatives and friends, and it has nothing to do with you.

Like the famous fierce general Mangui at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was a fierce split, enlisted in the army at the age of eighteen, and he could win the first rank in every battle, if he was really promoted according to military merits, he could be promoted to a general or even a general soldier at the age of twenty, but it was not until he was almost thirty that he became the general banner, and after a few years, he was promoted to a hundred households, until the second year of the Apocalypse, he met Sun Chengzong, a university scholar, and was slowly promoted to deputy chief soldier, chief soldier.

Therefore, if the average soldier wins the first rank, he basically chooses to exchange for a reward of silver, fifty taels, which is already a lot of money, and in the Ming Dynasty, the cheaper houses in the capital are only fifty taels, which shows how valuable this head is.

Since there is money to be made, Zhang Bin naturally can't say anything, so he can only let them go crazy.

In the front, the pirates are fart and urine, desperately fleeing to the beach, and in the back, the guards of the Dajin Institute are shining with golden light and desperately chasing, it's all money, kill one, and last a few years!

About two quarters of an hour later, two groups of people chased and fled, and came to the sea, the pirates thought that they had finally escaped, but they never thought that not only those sword and shield men, spearmen, and sword soldiers jumped directly into the sea to chase, but even the archers behind ran into the water and shot desperately, and the short distance from the beach to the boat was more dangerous than ten miles ahead.

With a splash of water and screams, more than 200 pirates finally escaped with the help of landed boats, and hundreds of pirate corpses floated on the sea.

Zhang Guan was also crazy in this wave, and there were twenty or thirty pirates who were cut down by him, until the pirates rowed a small boat into the deep water area, and he couldn't get enough of turning around and walking to the beach.

He doesn't have to worry about cleaning up the battlefield, it should be his head, naturally no one dares to covet him, twenty or thirty, that's more than a thousand taels, although his family has money, a thousand taels is not a small amount.

Besides, his father was only very generous to Zhang Bin's baby bump, and it was great for them to be able to give a hundred taels at a time.

Just when he was happy to spend more than a thousand taels of money, Zheng Ming ran up panting, and said with a sad face: "Second Shao, Fifth Shao is injured!" ”

What?!

Zhang Guan's face changed in fright, he raised his head and searched anxiously, and soon he saw Zhang Bin being surrounded by Zhao Xing and other four officials, sitting on a horse with a pale face, and on his arm, a feather arrow was slowly dripping blood!

Zhang Guan only felt a rumble in his head, and almost fell to the ground.

The fifth girl was so seriously injured, how could this happen, he hurriedly stepped forward and shouted with a crying voice: "Old five, what's wrong with you, don't scare the second brother." ”

Zhang Bin shook his head weakly and urged: "I'm fine, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, it will be troublesome to ask the pirate's big ship to come close and attack with artillery." ”

Zhang Guan said indiscriminately: "These little pirates have fart artillery, they are merchant ships, you don't care, go, I'll take you back to heal, Zheng Xing, Zheng Ming, take your people to follow, and the others continue to clean up the battlefield." ”

After that, he directly hit the horse and stepped forward, grabbed the reins in Zhang Bin's hand, pulled Zhang Bin's horse and ran back, and behind, Zheng Xing and Zheng Ming followed quickly with more than two hundred long swordsmen and archers.

It was about half an hour, and Pingyang County was already in sight, and at this time, Zhang Bin was already in a trance on the back of the horse, and he didn't fall off by relying on Zhao Xing and others to support him.

The arrow wound is this trouble, it can't be pulled out on the spot, and if it is not bandaged properly, the blood will rush out, and the person will be killed in a while.

At this time, the streets of the county town were full of fleeing people, and this group had just entered the city, and Zhang Bin's tragic situation was seen.

At this time, the whole county was fried, and the county magistrate was so seriously injured in order to help them block the pirates, and all the people who fled gathered on both sides of the road from the east gate to the county office, silently watching the crumbling body of the county magistrate, and the eyes were not only full of reverence, but also full of tears.
