Chapter 369: Heavy casualties

Half an hour later, the open flame was finally extinguished, fortunately it did not cause an explosion, but this was not enough, the temperature around the warehouse was still high and scary, as long as there were flammable items entering, it was likely to catch fire again, so it was necessary to take the opportunity to transfer the gunpowder in the warehouse, fortunately, half an hour had passed, and the marines on the fleet had already come down with more than three thousand people, Cheng Chuliang could finally rest for a while and talk to Zhang Cambodia.

"I said your injuries are okay, right?" Zhang Cambodia had already been bandaged and was sitting on the opposite warehouse wall to rest, Cheng Chuliang casually threw over a pot of wine, and at the same time sat down himself.

"I'm fine, I didn't suffer any injuries at all, but the brothers really suffered heavy losses this time......" Zhang Cambodia took the wine but didn't move, just shook his head and had an indelible gloom in his eyes, in the previous battle, he had always been in command of the rear, and did not play in person, his injuries were more burned when he was fighting the fire later.

It's just that he himself is fine, but it doesn't mean that others are okay, and among the remaining people who are still alive, there are less than a hundred people who can still move, even if they are mostly slightly injured, as long as they are reasonably bandaged, and then ensure that the wound is not inflamed, it will be almost the same after a month of rest.

But the more than 100 people who were no longer able to move suffered heavy losses, and some of them even forcibly carried a breath and did not pass, and now when they saw the arrival of reinforcements, this breath suddenly dispersed, and the whole person swallowed his breath silently. Among them is the Li San who showed others what it means to be strong, that is, the captain of the Fishtail Port Patrol Team, after confirming Cheng Chuliang's identity, he closed his eyes forever with a smile......

In addition to Li San, there are several other people who are in the same situation as him, and there are dozens of people who have not survived despite the desperate treatment of the ship's doctors-counting all these losses, the dock patrol team of 1,000 people, after a day and a night of hard fighting, only more than 150 people survived, and more than half of them were disabled, and even less than 100 people could really return to the team at that time......

Cheng Chuliang couldn't say anything, so he could only pat Zhang Cambodia's shoulder vigorously and said with relief: "This is also something that can't be helped, don't mind, they are soldiers, they died on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud was originally their destination." What's more, the performance of the patrol team this time is very good, showing the world the demeanor of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and afterwards I will ask Your Majesty for them on your behalf, and it can be regarded as an explanation for their efforts......"

"I don't have to worry about that, and what's your business here? Even if I'm not qualified, there is still a prince, what's the matter with you? What I'm worried about now is how to explain this matter to the prince? I personally promised the prince to bring them back intact...... "The identity of this patrol team is not simple, their predecessors are Li Zhen's personal guards, and they belong to the East Palace's ten rates, and the prince's army is serious." At that time, Li Zhen left a total of 1,000 people to Zhang Khan Zhi (those exploration teams were not, the exploration team was sent by the later Salon fleet, a total of 5,000 people). These people were not incorporated into the Lilac Island garrison at all, and their relationship was still in the East Palace, and they planned to change them back after a while, but no one thought that things would develop to this point, and there were only more than 100 disabled in the 1,000 patrol team, and the rest were all killed in battle.

Cheng Chuliang patted Zhang Cambodia's shoulder again: "This is also something that can't be helped, I believe the prince can understand, if it doesn't work, I'll help you plead for mercy, now that I have made such a big contribution, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks he will give me this face...... I said, you're not, aren't you? Didn't I just promise to intercede for you? Why are you still crying? You're too easy to be moved, aren't you? ”

"Nonsense!" Zhang Cambodia rubbed the tears in the corners of his eyes, covered his shoulders again, and said angrily: "You especially photographed Lao Tzu's wound......"

“…… (。 ・＿・。 )ﾉI’m sorry~”

"Whew, it's finally safe." After moving the last explosive bag out of the warehouse and into another temporary warehouse, everyone let out a long breath - during this time, everyone was nervous, for fear that a bad explosive would be triggered, and it would not be one or two people who died.

"Scold, even if you build a few more warehouses, these explosives bags will never be stacked together again in the future." Zhang Cambodia patted his chest with palpitations, it was really scary, at that time, he only cared about the convenience of access, and never thought that Lilac Island would be attacked, so that he had to detonate the explosives depot to die with the enemy, and then many things happened, which made him understand the disadvantages of piling explosives together - this is also fortunate that it was not caused in the end, in case something really went wrong in the middle, Lilac Island is definitely a heavy loss.

"Hehehe...... Hahaha......" Cheng Chuliang still chuckled at first, but soon turned into laughter, no one knew what he was laughing at, but soon everyone laughed with him, and then everyone began to laugh, laughter broke through the sky, and all the depression in his heart dissipated with this laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" After laughing, Zhang Cambodia asked Cheng Liang Liang.

"It's nothing, I just want to laugh." After Cheng Chuliang answered, he asked casually: "What about you?" Why are you laughing? ”

"Laugh, do you need a reason?" Zhang Cambodia's answer is even more nonsense, of course laughter requires a reason, and laughing without a reason will be regarded as a neurosis.

……

In fact, speaking of Wang Lan's sneak attack this time, in addition to the huge casualties, it did not bring much loss to Lilac Island, a large number of materials stored in the warehouse area were not moved by Wang Lan at all, and the fire in the explosives warehouse was finally extinguished, and there was no loss on Lilac Island, not to mention that they also recovered the ship that was snatched by the enemy and captured more than 5,000 women and children (all on the ship, and by the way, they were captured by Cheng Chuliang).

Even the burned dock is made of wood, in addition to the difficulty of rebuilding, in fact, there is no cost, after all, the most important thing on the spice islands is wood, but it takes more time to build - but this time Zhang Cambodia no longer plans to build a dock with wood, because this time the super fleet not only sent him the equipment and manpower to burn cement, but also brought him a large amount of cement for him to use, he plans to use this cement in the construction of the dock first, Other projects will be discussed after the cement plant is built.
