Chapter 675: Triumph (II)
Seeing that the pirate was about to run away, all the officers and soldiers were in a hurry, and they all rushed forward with all their might, and some of the brave ones jumped directly to the stern of the ship, trying to go up before the ship was offshore to continue to deal with the enemy.
And this move of theirs also completely angered a bunch of pirates. We have all fled, and you are still chasing after you, so you can only fight for your life. Immediately, more than a dozen pirates turned around and swung their knives, slashed fiercely, and when they saw the officers and soldiers climbing the ship, they slashed down.
These officers and soldiers were about to flip into the ship, and they were immediately shocked when they were met with several quick swords. They didn't have their hands free to raise their knives to block the block, except for a few who saw the opportunity quickly and let go immediately and fell into the sea, the rest were all stabbed and fell screaming.
At this time, the officers and soldiers behind also rushed up, seeing this situation, they were even more annoyed, and they all scolded, and then someone picked up a bow and crossbow, and suddenly shot a sharp arrow of revenge at the pirates on the ship, and immediately shot a number of bandits who had just finished the murder, and they also screamed.
Seeing this, Xie Jingyuan, who had already settled his mind, immediately shouted loudly: "Come back, don't entangle with them anymore, hurry up!" "These people are all bargaining chips for his comeback, and if one dies, his strength will be weakened by one point, and he can't be damaged anymore.
The pirates also felt chills in their hearts and hurriedly retreated according to the order. Fortunately, after the slashing just now, all the officers and soldiers who chased after the tail had fallen into the water, and they were safe for the time being. And the ship also slowly moved forward at this time, these pirates have been begging for a living at sea all year round, and even in such a tense moment, they are still very skilled in raising sails and sailing.
Xie Jingyuan, who felt this, was relieved and relieved. Even if this defeat is lost, not only most of the brothers died, but even the old nest was wiped out by the officials and soldiers, as long as you can get out, there is still a chance to start over. Think he was defeated in Hangzhou City, didn't he pull up such a team again a few years later? This time it's also average! Not to mention the three caves of the cunning rabbit, in addition to this island, he also has several other small islands as a backup, and there are also a lot of treasures and weapons hidden there.
"Lu Jin, you did win this time. But don't worry, when I come back next time, I won't make the same mistake......" Staring hatefully at the island that was getting farther and farther away, Xie Jingyuan silently swore in his heart.
But at this moment, the brother on the side suddenly came with a scream, and when he reacted and turned his head to look, he saw that at some point, a medium-sized ship had appeared not far from the side, and it crashed straight into the ship he was on.
Just now, because they were completely attracted by the attention of the officers and soldiers on the rear island, coupled with the influence of the night, they didn't even notice that such a ship would be killed in the oblique stab. By the time they realized the other's presence, it was too late to dodge.
"Boom, bang!" Without a moment's hesitation, the ship slammed its bow into the side of the escape ship on which the pirates were riding. The force of this blow was so great that the ship suddenly fell to the other side, and a large hole appeared in the hull of the ship.
The pirates on board staggered for a while in a burst of screams. Even if they were unprepared to adapt to the wind and waves at sea, they couldn't stabilize their bodies this time, and many of them became rolling gourds, even Xie Jingyuan was also biased and hit the side of the ship. What's even worse is that this time it hit his shoulder with the arrow, and the arrow that he hadn't had time to pull out was knocked into it a few more points, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat.
Before the pirates could come to their senses, a number of soldiers appeared on the ship, took out their bows and crossbows, and shot at them. Suddenly, the pirate ship was full of shouts of crying fathers and mothers, and everyone was embarrassed to dodge everywhere, so that they were not embarrassed.
At this time, the mood of the officers and soldiers on the island also suddenly turned from low to high, and at the same time as they shouted loudly, some people jumped into the small boat that the pirates were riding and rushed towards the enemy ship over there. Although the sudden reinforcements were ruthless to the enemy, they did not dare to take it lightly after missing a hand.
This time, though, they were clearly a little too nervous. In fact, this sudden reinforcement was also fully prepared, and it was not just this ship.
I don't know when, in front of the pirate ship, two more big ships appeared, and between the intersections, they directly blocked their way into the sea. Not to mention that their ships were already damaged and flooded at this time, even if they were intact, they would not easily escape from the blockade of these two ships and ascend to heaven.
These three ships that arrived in time and stopped the remnants of Xie Jingyuan were naturally the merchant ships that had been used as bait at sea before. After a short rest, they also followed the pirates, and played their best role at this critical moment.
With the road ahead being blocked, the sides were shot by the officers and crossbows with strong bows and crossbows, and there were many officers and soldiers in the rear who rushed over in boats, and all the pirates knew one thing - this time, they really couldn't escape.
And as this idea became known to them, the last bit of courage of the pirates dissipated. No one cared about the mentality of their own leader, so they threw down their weapons and shouted, "We surrender...... Don't let the arrows go any more, we surrender ......"
Hearing the shouting, the rain of arrows on the side finally stopped, but the officers and soldiers behind them were quickly approaching, and then dozens of people turned onto the boat, armed with knives and guns, and decisively surrounded the remnants of these dozens of pirates.
Beside them, Xie Jingyuan was half-leaning on the side of the boat, staring at these people with faint eyes, his face was as pale as paper, but he didn't know if it was because of his injury and excessive blood loss, or because he was discouraged. But one thing he knows is that this time, he is really finished......
At this point, a rare naval battle in the Ming Dynasty came to an end, and a notorious pirate team Sea Eagle, which caused disaster to all parts of the coast, was also destroyed, and the officers and troops won a great victory, of course, they also paid an extremely heavy price.
At dawn, all the remaining pirates from Xie Jingyuan and below were escorted to the island, and what they saw in horror was a pair of eyes full of hatred and bloodshot, and all the officers and soldiers hated to step forward and cut off their heads to avenge the dead brothers and comrades.
In this battle, the Sea Eagle was certainly annihilated, less than 100 people became prisoners, and the officers and soldiers also lost nearly 300 elites. And when it was time to flee in the end, these thieves also killed their brothers who came on board to block the enemy in front of themselves, which made everyone's hearts full of hostility. If Ye Changfei hadn't issued a strict order not to kill prisoners in time, I was afraid that they wouldn't have survived to go ashore.
After only a short interrogation, Xie Jingyuan's mind and the identity of the sea eagle were revealed, which made the soldiers a little excited. At least this battle was a complete uprooting of a pirate, and those brothers who died in the sea could be regarded as a well-deserved death.
And Ye Changfei waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to tie everyone up, and then gather the belongings and weapons on the island, as well as the injured and family members who were powerless to resist. These are all the merits that they reported to the court after they went back, and naturally there can be no omission.
Afterwards, with the exception of a few men who were left to guard the captives, the others rested on the island for a day, until the sun rose again, and several scarred ships left the island and headed northwest for the compass.
After more than ten days, they finally saw the port of Weihai, and at the same time, the people from the government who had been guarding the port and looking forward to the news of victory also saw these victorious ships for the first time. Immediately, some people hurriedly ran to the town market and rushed to the official office to report the news. While running, he shouted: "It's back, the brothers who went out to sea to suppress bandits have finally returned victorious!" β
This shout immediately alarmed the rest of the town, and after being stunned for a moment, everyone left what they were doing and hurried towards the port to welcome the return of the bandit heroes.
So when Lu Zhen and other officials heard the report and hurriedly led people to rush there, the port was already full of excited people. These people are all gathered here because of the trade in Weihai port, and piracy is the one thing they care about the most, so when they learn that the army is triumphant, it is naturally impossible to sit still.
Lu Zhen and the others finally managed to squeeze a way out of the crowd and went straight to the front of the port. At this time, several boats had docked one after another, and the first to come out was Ye Changfei, who was full of exhaustion. After all, he is not used to the wind and waves at sea, and his legs are still a little weak at this time.
However, when he saw so many people who came to greet him, he still gathered his spirits, walked off the boat with a majestic spirit, and knelt down on one knee at Lu Jin, who was at the front, and said: "Lord Governor, the lower officials are fortunate to have not dishonored their lives, and finally exterminated all the bandits called Sea Eagles, and captured their leaders alive!" β
As soon as his words fell, the surrounding people let out a loud applause. And as the officers and soldiers escorted a group of dejected pirate captives off the ship, the cheers and curses filled the entire port.
Lu Zhen hurriedly helped Ye Changfei up: "Ye Dusi has worked hard this time, so there is no need to be polite." This official will have the table to play the court tomorrow and ask for credit for you. β
Ye Changfei took advantage of the situation and hurriedly thanked him. He knew that this military exploit was enough to make him go further in his career.
At this time, Lu Jin's gaze had fallen behind him, not at the prisoners, but at the remaining ships: "This battle should be very hard, right?" What about the casualties? β
These words made Ye Changfei and the soldiers around him feel warm in their hearts, and the governor's first concern about his own casualties rather than any credit showed that he attached great importance to his own family.
When they were talking, Xie Jingyuan, who had been escorted to the port, was staring at Lu Zhen not far away with eyes full of hatred, and he couldn't wait to rush over and kill the big enemy in front of him who destroyed the clan and destroyed the family!
