Although the Tuan Yong were still searching door to door, the battle of Ziyun Mountain had obviously come to an end.

The one who killed the dragon king, the lord of Dazhai, was naturally the king of Qin, Zhu Youzhen. A few days ago, he recovered the flintlock pistol from the ruins of the earthquake, and he was like a treasure, which was his life-saving weapon! Fortunately, the pistol itself was not damaged, and Zhu Youzhen reassembled enough gunpowder from the gunpowder box he bought from He Renlong.

As for the projectiles, just use ordinary iron balls. Because there were no craftsmen under him who knew how to make projectiles, Zhu Youzhen had to use stupid methods. He first had the blacksmith divide the forged iron into small pieces, and then polish them piece by piece.

This method was extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it took a few blacksmiths a whole day to make dozens of projectiles, and the polishing was not particularly rounded, so they could only be used improvised.

Despite this, the power of a pistol shot at close range is still unbearable for human beings. Zhu Youzhen's shot was slamming into the back of the dragon lord's slippery back, and several of his ribs were immediately shattered and his internal organs were injured. Although the Dragon King has a martial arts, he is not an invulnerable demon or monster, so he had to roll his eyes reluctantly and report to the Senluo Palace.

Originally, most of the bandits were poisoned by arsenic, and even if they didn't die, they were dying. As soon as the dragon lord of Dazhai died, the bandits were even more leaderless, how could they still have the heart to resist, and they fled one after another, trying to rush down the mountain.

But at this time, the double-edged sword of terrain finally showed its power. Ziyun Mountain is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, which is certainly easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, if the attacker cuts off the way down the mountain, it will be extremely difficult for the people above to go down.

At this time, the militia had already captured the walled gate, and the bandits would not be allowed to escape. The regimental training Xie Yong and the leaders of the group were heavily guarded here, and the toppled gate was re-erected and locked, while the people stood outside the gate and blocked the way with dozens of spears.

When the bandits came, they had to climb the gate first, and often before they reached the top, they were poked all over the body by spears. In a short time, the walled gate was filled with the corpses of the bandits, and the Tuan Yong were unharmed.

Not long after, Zhu Youzhen and Li Dingguo also eliminated the other bandits who remained in the village, and attacked Xie Yong and others inside and outside, and finally completely annihilated the last dozens of bandits near the gate of the village.

"Victorious! We've won again!! The cheers of the regimental warriors resounded through the valley, this was the first tough battle since the establishment of the militia group!

Zhu Youzhen immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and the wounded treated.

The so-called cleaning up of the battlefield is actually to see if there are still bandits who are not breathing. If there is, unceremoniously make up for it. After counting, in this battle, including the dragon prince, the lord of Ziyun Mountain Dazhai, a total of 266 bandits were killed, 57 people were poisoned, and 25 people were captured. None of the bandits on the mountain ran away, and they were completely killed.

For the first time, the militia also paid a certain amount of casualties. Among them, the commandos led by Li Dingguo killed four people and slightly injured two; The brigade led by Zhu Youzhen killed one person, seriously injured three people, and slightly injured more than ten people; The post-break troops led by Xie Yong achieved zero casualties.

Although the casualties of the militia were very small compared to the bandits, Zhu Youzhen's heart still felt heavy. Although it is said that people will definitely die in a war, it is not easy for anyone to see their comrades die. In particular, the brothers of the fallen fell on the body and let out a loud cry of grief.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen solemnly announced that the bodies of all the Tuan Yong who died in the battle would be transported back to Qinwangzhuang for a grand burial, and a high pension of one white tael of silver would be given to each person. Although money cannot bring the dead back to life, it is a real comfort to his family. Because this 100 taels of silver is already a huge amount of money for ordinary families, which is enough to support the expenses of more than ten years.

As for the corpses of those bandits, Zhu Youzhen was not so polite to them. As the weather gets hotter, corpses decompose quickly, which can easily lead to the spread of disease. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen gave an order, and all the regiments gathered these corpses together, piled up dry firewood, poured vegetable oil, and then ignited them with fire folds.

This is the so-called "**", and the flames burst into the sky, mercilessly devouring the corpses of hundreds of bandits. The pungent smell spread instantly, and it gradually dissipated after many days.

After dealing with the dead, it's time to deal with the living. The wounded of the militia group in this regard were properly treated, and the seriously injured also received a relief fund of 20 taels of silver.

And the captured bandits are basically the last in the cottage, and they have not been involved in murder and arson. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not kill them all, but tied their hands firmly, and then strung them together with ropes, preparing to escort them back to Qinwangzhuang for slow interrogation, and let them expose each other.

If they really didn't do too much evil, Zhu Youzhen planned to punish them for a period of hard labor first, and then restore their freedom. After all, there are still many people like this who fall into the grass because they can't survive, and what should really be responsible for this situation is not them, but the first court. If they can be given a way to live, these people can still become useful people.

In addition to these bandits, more than 100 women were also imprisoned on the cottage. The women were snatched from nearby villages and forced into sex slavery in the cottages, living in the dark.

Zhu Youzhen gathered them together, first announced that he had killed all the bandits who had plagued them, and avenged them. And he gave each of them five taels of silver, and if he wished to go home, he could go back at once.

But many women are already ruined, homeless, and feel like a thief, and have no face to return to the village where they lived. When Zhu Youzhen learned of this situation, he also sighed secretly, thinking that no matter which dynasty or generation, innocent weak women were all victims of war. It is unreasonable for them to bear the contempt of the world even though they are obviously victims!

Therefore, he also announced that all women who had nowhere to go could follow the militia and return to Qinwangzhuang. During this period, all Tuan Yong is strictly forbidden to talk to women, let alone inquire about the other party's name.

After arriving at Qinwangzhuang, Rui'er will make unified arrangements to start a new life, and use time to heal the pain caused by this nightmarish experience. As for getting married and having children in the future, it is also the meaning of the topic, in short, they can live a normal life again.

The women were moved to tears, and they all knelt down and wept. made Zhu Youzhen embarrassed, and hurriedly persuaded: "Get up, get up!" It's all happy, so don't cry at me, I don't know if I think I'm going to breathe! ”

All the women were teased by Zhu Youzhen and laughed, which stopped their sorrows.

In addition to these women, Zhu Youzhen also unexpectedly rescued more than 20 imprisoned craftsmen. It turned out that these craftsmen were also taken captive by the dragon lord to the mountain, and because of their skills, they were under the strict supervision of the bandits, responsible for building and repairing weapons.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen is like a treasure. Because Qinwangzhuang is now very large, there is a shortage of people in various positions, but the most lacking is skilled craftsmen. It can be said that except for those who burn bricks and make iron, the rest are skilled workers who have changed careers, and there are almost no people who really understand technology.

Especially the vital ordnance, Qin Wangzhuang could only be bought before. And some weapons can be bought, while others can't be bought with money. Zhu Youzhen has long wanted to establish his own arsenal, but he suffers from the lack of professional talents.

And the appearance of these craftsmen is a great gift from heaven to Zhu Youzhen. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not ask them if they were willing or not, and immediately announced that he would bring them all back to Qinwangzhuang.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen was not a bandit, and he also promised these craftsmen generous conditions, including being able to settle down in Qinwangzhuang, rationing fields, and a lot of moon silver.

These craftsmen were very grateful to Zhu Youzhen for saving his life, and they were even more overjoyed when they heard that they had arranged work and accommodation. In fact, even if they were not captured by bandits and sent to the cottage, they would not be able to live happily, so none of them objected.

Next, the militia began to count the bandits' warehouses again. It doesn't matter if this library is in storage, but Zhu Youzhen will be happy. It turned out that these bandits had been entrenched in Ziyun Mountain for many years, and they had saved some belongings. There were more than 50,000 taels of silver stored in the treasury alone, thousands of stones of grain, and a lot of cloth and quilts. Anyway, these things are ill-gotten gains, and Zhu Youzhen honestly and unceremoniously accepted all the orders.

And what made him happiest was the seizure of a large number of weapons and ammunition. Among them, cold weapons include more than 200 single knives, more than 100 long swords, more than 100 spears, more than 40 bows and arrows, and more than 1,000 arrows.

In addition, there were more than 100 bird guns and dozens of boxes of ammunition in the warehouse. What Zhu Youzhen especially didn't expect was that in the corner of the warehouse, there were two Franc cannons covered with thick dust!

It turned out that these equipment were all brought out of the army when the dragon lord broke away from the official army and fell into the grass. But he himself was a cavalryman and was not very familiar with these firearms. And the minions of his hand, big and small, are of even lower quality, and no one likes to fiddle with these things, and they all think that they are not as easy to use as knives and guns. As a result, the guns and cannons were discarded, and many of them were rusty.

But for Zhu Youzhen, it is not a question of whether things are good or bad, but whether there is a problem first! So with a wave of his hand, he put all these supplies into his pocket.

It took a full half day for everyone to move all the supplies out of the various rooms. Only then did Zhu Youzhen proudly shout: "In the battle of Ziyun Mountain, we have won a great victory!" Now that the bandits have all been exterminated, I announce: The class master will return to Qinwangzhuang, and he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds after he returns! ”

When all the regiments heard the order, they were all thunderous with joy, and they happily picked up the burden and transported a large number of supplies down the mountain.

Xie Yong, Li Dingguo and others also said excitedly: "Helper, what should I do with this cottage?" Do you want to set it on fire? ”

"What a pity it burned!" Zhu Youzhen also smiled in a very good mood, "Keep it, when the world is peaceful, we can build a memorial hall here, so that our descendants can remember our achievements." I think the scenery of this place is good, and it is not bad to get some hotels and engage in tourism development! ”
