Chapter 571: The Underworld Has Its Own Providence
Zhang Huan didn't expect that the culprit who killed Lan San and the others could be captured by him, you must know that there are hundreds of Zheng family warships, where is it so easy to catch the enemy, but it is really the will of heaven in the underworld, destroying the Li Daozong, and the enemy who killed Lan San really fell into his hands.

Zhang Huan remained silent at this time, because Wang Jian's duties were not over yet, and there were other defeated Zheng family warships that needed to be searched.
But unfortunately, because it took too much time to capture this gunboat, Wang Jian only sank another gunboat of the Zheng family under the guidance of the flying clippers.
At this time, the night was deep, and Wang Jian joined up with the other two warships and slowly moved south on the sea.
Early the next morning, the three warships sailed south, and on the way they kept encountering clippers and cruisers searching everywhere, and now the Breaker Naval Division was sweeping and finishing.
Wang Jian drove to the vicinity of the Li Daozong, which had burned and sunk, and at this time the Li Daozong had sunk under the sea, but thanks to the clear water here, you could still see the black and broken shadow of the Li Daozong who had sunk more than ten zhang below the sea.
Zhang Huan ordered that all the more than 60 captured Zheng family sailors be put on deck.
"Captain, you are killing prisoners without authorization, which is contrary to my military regulations, and your subordinates can only report to the general town." Suppressing Cao Feng stepped forward and said, although he was also extremely sympathetic to Lan San, but it was also a big crime to kill prisoners without authorization, not to mention dozens of people, he could not fail to report as the pacification of this warship, otherwise Shangfeng would first investigate his guilt.
"Cao Feng, I won't blame you, after this incident, I asked the adult for the guilt." Zhang Huan didn't mean to embarrass Cao Feng, but these people in front of him had to be killed, otherwise once they were handed over to Shangfeng, he was afraid that he would make peace with the Zheng family in the end, and finally lenient these murderers who killed Lan San.
Zhang Huan also believes in revenge overnight, he doesn't want Lan San's enemy to return home unscathed, for this he will give up his position as captain, and he is also ready to accept the disposition of military law.
All the armor on the Wang Jian was dispatched together to escort all the Zheng family sailors of more than 60 people onto the deck.
An incense table was placed in the bow of the boat, because there could be no fruits and vegetables on the boat, and there were spirits, a few dishes made of bacon and sea fish.
Zhang Huan solemnly offered incense to worship, and almost all the soldiers on the deck stepped forward to worship one after another.
This is not Zhang Huan's business alone, not Lan San died alone, more than 300 sailors and armor-clad gunners on a Tang-class battleship were killed and sunk underwater.
is in the same vein as a sailor, and may even have fought together before, even if he may end up like them one day, who can tell if the soldiers are in a hurry.
All the people are pious incense, silently praying that the brothers are going well.
At this time, there was a commotion among the prisoners of war, these people were crying and shouting for mercy, they were not stupid or blind, if they did not understand the situation in front of them, they really lived in vain.
These Breakers were meant to kill them and pay homage to the Breakers and soldiers they had sunk, and they had no way to live.
When Wang Jian boarded, the cries, shouts, forgiveness, and even insults continued to sound.
"Bastard, there is a kind of beheading your grandfather and letting go of your grandfather's subordinates." Yang Geng roared loudly.
Zhang Huan came to Yang Geng when he heard this, and he took a good look at the short Yang Geng, at this time Yang Geng's beard was scattered and his face was flushed.
"Your Zheng family colluded with the Yi people to spy on the Ming Dynasty and kill our brothers, you are extremely justifiable."
Zhang Huan sneered.
"That's what you are waiting for, if you don't attack south, why should you and I fight each other."
Yang Geng stared at the bull's eye and shouted, at this time, he couldn't say what he couldn't say.
Zhang Huan suddenly felt that he was very ridiculous, and what could he say about the enemy's theory.
Zhang Huan whispered a few words to the guards, and several guards immediately came up and dragged Yang Geng to the bow of the boat, and then cut off Yang Geng's feet with two clicks with a waist knife, and immediately a large stream of blood gushed out, and Yang Geng howled miserably than a human voice.
"If someone makes noise again, that's how it ends, if you're honest, you'll have a good time." One of the guards shouted.
The voices of these prisoners of war were lowered, and Yang Geng's tragic situation frightened them, and they would rather die than suffer this crime.
The next ten people were escorted to the side of the ship and beheaded, this time these Zheng family sailors wept in a low voice at most, not daring to shout loudly, Yang Geng's tragic scene frightened them, and they would rather die quickly than fall into that fate.
Batches of Zheng sailors were beheaded for public display, their bodies were thrown into the sea, and the sea water around Li Daozong's was dyed red with blood, attracting several nearby sharks to come and bite the corpses.
The more than 300 soldiers of the Broken Captives Army, who had already been sleeping under the Li Daozong, waited for the enemy's beheading every other day, which was really unpleasant.
In the end, Yang Geng, who was already unconscious, was thrown into the sea alive, and as soon as he entered the sea, he was awakened, and the wound caused by the sea killed him caused severe pain and made him scream.
His shouts and the fluttering of his hands attracted the two sharks to bite the live prey, and immediately Yang Geng's mournful cry resounded in the nearby sea.
Zhang Huan coldly watched Yang Geng being completely dismembered, and until the shouts disappeared, he would not have a trace of remorse for the misery of such an enemy, this was the retribution they deserved.
Zhang Huan handed over the responsibility of commanding the whole ship to the first mate, and he himself returned to the cabin confinement on the lower deck, waiting for the disposal of Shangfeng after returning.
On the way back along the way, Wang Jian saw that the wreckage of many warships was still on the sea, and what had no rescue value was to drift with the current, and the sailors of the Broken Army who could still repair it had already gone up to control it and sailed the warship to Dong'anping Fort.
From time to time, fragments of ships and the corpses of the sailors of the Zheng family appeared on the surface of the sea, and of course, the corpses of the sailors of the Broken Army occasionally appeared, indicating that the sailors of the Broken Army were also injured.
When Wang Jian came to the sea off Anping City that afternoon, the warships of the Broken Army had already covered the entire sea off Anping.
At this time, the thousands of Zheng family and the allied soldiers besieging Anping City had already laid down their arms and surrendered, and were collecting the armor and surrendering troops under Li Lu's command.
The defeat of the coalition water division and the defeat of the Zheng family water division determined that these soldiers were all abandoned, and the broken army did not need to move a finger, as long as they besieged the island where Anping City was located, these thousands of soldiers would soon die due to lack of food and rice, so they surrendered happily, there was no need to hold on, and no one would come to rescue them.
Zhao Lie did not board Anping City, and all the soldiers in Anping City were now busy receiving captures, and he didn't want to cause chaos.
At this time, Li Hu boarded the Di Qing and was reporting the basic situation of the battle to Zhao Lie.
More than 50 allied warships were destroyed and more than 30 allied warships were captured, of which more than 20 were seriously damaged, and less than 10 were unharmed.
The Englishman Weddell was killed, Saunders and Van Penny were captured, and more than 6,000 sailors and thousands of people on the shore were taken prisoner.
The Zheng fleet destroyed 500 fireships, more than 100 gunboats, captured more than 40 gunboats, and estimated that at least 20,000 Zheng sailors were killed, and nearly 10,000 Zheng sailors and Zheng soldiers on the shore were captured.
It is said that this is an undoubted victory, but the damage of the Broken Army Naval Division roughly reported by Li Hu is also extremely serious.
A total of 26 clippers, 18 cruisers, 12 Galen merchant ships, 20 old-fashioned sailing ships, two Sui-class warships and five Tang-class warships were sunk or basically destroyed, and more than 20 warships of the Broken Army were seriously damaged and are still being urgently repaired.
These ships can only pray that there will be no strong wind and rain in the past few days, otherwise they will all sink into the sea.
Most of the other wrecked warships were also damaged, and they were all in the process of being repaired.
Li Hu roughly estimated that more than 3,000 soldiers of the Broken Army and Naval Division were killed, and thousands of people were wounded, and nearly 1,000 were seriously injured.
This is the biggest loss encountered since the formation of the army and the navy, which makes Zhao Lie and Li Hu feel painful, this is the elite soldiers and strong generals accumulated over the years, and today they died in Xiaoliuqiu, far away from their hometown, and the most infuriating thing is that most of them died in the hands of the Zheng family sailors.
When he thought of this, Zhao Lie was full of blood and blood.
At this time, a small boat approached, and Zhao Feng climbed up the Di Qing along the soft ladder, only to see that his left hand was wrapped in cotton cloth, and there was still a little blood on it.
"The third brother is also injured." Zhao Lie saw Zhao Feng's injury at a glance, and it was impossible not to remember his brother Zhao Lie, but letting Zhao Feng retreat in the battle was to destroy the morale of the broken army, of course, Zhao Feng would not agree.
Zhao Lie was also worried about the safety of this younger brother, who was still a little reckless.
"Second brother, my injury is not a big deal, it was just rubbed by a rocket," Zhao Feng didn't care about his injury.
Regarding Zhao Feng's unauthorized departure, Zhao Lie and Li Hu didn't say anything, the children of the Zhao family all risked arrows to fight and kill, and it was normal to come back and see the second brother.
The next scene made Zhao Lie and Li Hu not expect it at all, and Zhao Feng suddenly knelt down towards Zhao Lie.
"Second brother, my younger brother came here without being summoned this time to ask the second brother for something, and I hope the second brother agrees."
Zhao Feng knelt on the ground and arched his hand.
"Tsk, what are you doing kneeling down your own brother," Zhao Lie was also a little dumbfounded, what is the situation, his younger brother is still young, and he is a little confused, but this situation is also a little too disobedient.
"If the second brother doesn't agree, I won't get up." Zhao Feng stared at Zhao Lie and said.
"Third brother, if you don't say it, let the brother promise something." Zhao Lie couldn't cry or laugh, although he is a brother now, Zhao Lie is still the commander of the Broken Army, can he agree to anything.
"Yes, Captain Zhao still tells the matter, and the marshal can decide, otherwise how can he easily agree." Li Hu also interjected on the side.
"If you have something to say," Zhao Lie sank his face. (To be continued.) )
