When the second turn was over, more than a dozen ships that had escaped from the Arab fleet were also on fire, and although they did not burn into fireballs, their sails were almost completely gone. Two other boats that tried to charge were smashed into the bow and were sinking, and many of the poor camels on them also fell into the sea. Don't look at them as desert ships, but when they really get into the water, they are more weighed than scales.

"Hey! Lao Wen, come and take a look, they are raising the white flag! You still say that this is the rule of the pre-Qin period, right? They obviously know the rules better! At this time, the lookout sent a signal, and the other party raised a white flag and surrendered. Hong Tao deliberately ran to the bow of the boat to take a look, it was indeed a white flag, not by chance, but many sides, all waving, and the few ships with neat sails also lowered their sails themselves. In a battle on the sea, voluntarily lowering the sails means surrendering, and an inactive ship is the same as a soldier kneeling on the ground.

"Mr. Gaoming, this is indeed a white flag, the student is wrong......" Wen Nan was also dragged to the bow of the boat by Hong Tao to look at the white flag, and admitted his mistake very sincerely.

"What do you mean? If you have something to say directly, you don't have to fool me with your conscience. Wen Nan softened and served so thoroughly, which was very abnormal, so Hong Tao didn't believe it.

"Sir said before, try to kill as little as possible, they all surrendered......" Wen Nan pointed to the still smoking boat in front of him.

"You should change your name to Tang Seng! In the future, when I fight the Mongols, I will first throw you over and talk to them for a day to see if your head is off, or if they surrender. Yaya, let the Zhenzhou send a ship over to see, if it really surrenders, let them lay down their weapons and jump into the water. All I have to see is a person on deck. Just keep firing! "Hong Tao is really convinced. This Wen Nan is really not pretending to be kind, he is really kind, or stupid. No matter what it is, I promised him that if I don't kill, I won't kill him, and I will become a Buddha on the spot!

The Arabs had indeed surrendered, and if the quality of the ships alone was poor, they could have found a way to make up for it elsewhere. But the other party also has weapons for long-range and large-area attacks, so this thing has no tricks. Whether you surrender or not, defeat is only a matter of time, and if the five big ships have to go back and forth a few more times, their own fleet will not be left with a piece of armor, and they will all be fed with fish. Since Yusuf is the leader of a large clan, this account can still be calculated, and if he stays alive, he will have a chance to be redeemed. The battle is dead, and the hair is gone. There is no chance of revenge.

Of the forty-seven Arab galleys, only eight had all beards and tails. Fifteen were lightly wounded, nine were moderately wounded, and the remaining fifteen were either burned or sunk. Of the more than 2,100 people, there are still 1,600 people left, why are there so many dead and wounded? Because Hong Tao first attacked the ships loaded with the most infantry from the internal test, they originally planned to attack the port in the afternoon, most of the soldiers were even dressed in armor, and as soon as the ship broke, as long as it fell into the water, it would basically sink to the bottom, and there was no chance to save it. The Mamluk axemen were the worst dead, all of them heavily armoured, with two-handed axes tied to their arms in chains, and even if they were naked, the big axe would have to throw them to the bottom of the sea.

More than forty of the 150 camels drowned, but the 150 horses did not lose much, for they and the Mamluk cavalry were in the innermost circle, and the cavalry would not come ashore until the infantry had rushed to the docks, and this arrangement saved their lives. In addition to the 300 Mamluk cavalry and more than 50 remaining Mamluk axemen, the remaining soldiers were all from Yusuf's own tribe, with a total of more than 500 people, and many casualties, plus more than 300 sailors and more than 400 ship slaves and some logistics personnel, this is all the harvest of Hong Tao's battle.

"Alas...... It's still a loss, and it's a big loss. Lao Wen, how about killing half? Look at it, nine dead and four wounded, it's easy for me to train a sailor! I won't kill ordinary soldiers, just kill those officials! But Hong Tao didn't think he had earned it, these people were not labor but burdens and dangers to him. Hong Tao has always been very, very resistant to the use of a large number of Arabs as slaves, otherwise he would not have killed in Port Cabalan, their religion is too powerful, it is difficult to assimilate, and it is really difficult to go crazy. There are so many Han Chinese in the Mongol occupation area that they can't use these unruly Arabs as laborers, even if they can't catch people in the north, and all parts of Southeast Asia, Japan, and Goryeo are also working under the whip, and there is really no difference between who has more strength and who is taller.

"Sir, no, it's ominous to kill prisoners!" Wen Nan resolutely refused to change the previous agreement.

“…… Hey, hey, yes, I don't kill, someone kills, I'll give them all to Lao Mai's people. Their ships were burned down by these people, and I don't believe that those guys who are only willing to take advantage and never suffer can spare these people! Lao Wen, you and I are still more tender in your brain, let's learn slowly in the future! Hong Tao rolled his eyes, and when he saw the wreckage of the still smoking ships in the harbor, the sinister smile appeared on his face again.

Before the sea battlefield was cleaned, several small galleys rushed out of the harbor, probably placed in the innermost part of the country before being affected by the fire. On board were Martini's brother and his people, as well as Prince Taba and his ministers, and the rest were the remnants of the Golden River Company and the Straits Company. Everything that happened outside the harbor, the lookout on the watchtower in the harbor had already told the people in the harbor a good story. In the past two hours, the watchtower has basically become a storytelling tower, with one person speaking at the top, N more than N interpreters below, and hundreds of people around them looking up and listening stupidly. When Hong Tao's fleet charged, everyone held their breath and feared for the brave sailors; When the fleet gained the upper hand, everyone was excited and expectant; When the Arabs surrendered, the harbor became a sea of joy. Even the boat slaves here rejoiced together, and they didn't know what they were cheering for, who won and who lost had something to do with them, and they didn't all have to row on whose boat?

Before the flames in the harbor were extinguished, everyone found a few small boats that could still float and came out in smoke. They had to greet their heroes as soon as possible, and by this time everyone had made the port of Cabalan their home, and the fleet with the flag of the rat as the protector of the port. If the enemy comes to attack next time, it is estimated that there will be more people who take the initiative to stand up and defend their hometown, and whether there is a fleet to support them or not, there will be a thought in people's hearts: hold on for a few more minutes! Maybe the fleet with the rat flag is coming! Hold on for a few more minutes......

Hong Tao smiled at the compliments of the thin monkey brother and the elders of their clan, politely invited them to come up and have a glass of wine, and then politely sent them off the boat. Everyone is just partners, they will never become friends, and they don't come back to save them, maybe they will become enemies in the future, so there is no need to be too affectionate.

For the prince of Taba, Hong Tao had a little more kindness, and specially chatted with the prince, mainly asking about the situation around Kabalan Port and the prince's plan to expand, and then gave the prince a big red envelope: In three or four months, a large number of weapons and equipment will be shipped, and as many soldiers as possible. Not only did they provide weapons, but if necessary, they could also involve the gunners on the Zhenzhou in a limited attack, carrying grenade launchers to help the prince's army.

This time Hong Tao was very satisfied with the prince's brave performance, although he was fat but not stupid, he knew the truth that the grass on the wall did not live long, and he could lead the people to resist the invasion, although he was defending his own country, but he did bet on the right treasure and should be rewarded. What is most dear to a prince with a little ambition? Of course, it is the land and the people that can be ruled. A slightly more powerful Kabalan Kingdom is beneficial and harmless to the Golden River Company and the Strait Company. Therefore, Hong Tao not only wants to encourage Prince Taba's ambition, but also help him complete this ambition as soon as possible.

There is another thing that makes Hong Tao very annoyed, that is, Martini's skinny monkey brother. He said that the captives, especially the Mamluk cavalry and nobles, could not be killed, they had a ransom, a large ransom! Now they are not captives, but bags of money that can eat and breathe. What's even more odious is that these words were heard by Wen Nan, so Hong Tao's plan to kill people with a knife went bankrupt again. Not only will these captives not die, but they will be treated slightly better, and when the messengers return to their kingdom and explain the situation, they will be ransomed with gold, silver, and jewels in a few months or more. The higher the status, the greater the ability of the captive, the higher the ransom, this does not have to worry about others to calculate the value, you want to sell them cheaply they themselves are not happy, that is too cheap, after returning home there is no face, the higher the price can reflect their own value.

"Leave those Mamluks to me, I won't sell them!" When Hong Tao heard that the soldiers were all professional soldiers, his little eyes began to roll again, and he asked Alin a few more questions, and then bared his teeth.

These Mamluk cavalrymen and axemen are descendants of slaves, which means that they are not born Islam, and they are also professional soldiers, this Nima is not a ready-made mercenary! And they are still very strong cavalry, and there is nowhere to find a good source of soldiers with lanterns, how can Hong Tao exchange them for money? Jinhewan asked for money and didn't use it, and now there is a shortage of people! As for their religious beliefs, Alin said that as long as Hong Tao wants to, then there is a way to change it, how to change it? The knife holder was on the neck, of course. However, it is not just by killing, there must be a way to change grandchildren, that is, let these Mamluk soldiers perform a simple insulting ritual to their religion one by one in front of those Arab nobles, and if they do it, they can live, and if they don't do it, they will be directly sent to the mines to mine.
