"Stop attacking!"

There was a strong smell of blood in his nose, and he raised his arms and shouted loudly, and the flag-bearer of the Light Wind Flagship quickly gave the order, and the surrounding shelling became more and more rare.

"What's the matter, Marshal?" said with a squint, "Didn't you decide not to keep the prisoners?"

"This time and that time. ”

Lin Muyu said: "The overall situation is not a burden to keep prisoners from time to time, but now that the overall situation has been decided, bring these prisoners back to the Tianji Continent, distribute them three months' food and military expenses, and then give them grain seeds and let them go home to farm, like this...... They will be able to spread the wisdom of the Great Qin Empire to the entire Tianji Continent, what a good deal. ”

"But ......"

Qianfeng hesitated a little, and said: "In the naval battle of Changyuan Island, we almost killed nearly 500,000 merchant troops, and the name of the killing has already spread, wouldn't it be in vain to accept them at this time?"

"Rest assured, the merchant army near Changyuan Island is dead, and no one knows that we slaughtered 500,000 people. Lin Muyu's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and said: "After entering Xiping City, I immediately put up a list of Anmin and informed the world that the merchant prisoners near Changyuan Island were all left on Changyuan Island because of the shortage of warships, and they were sent by fishing boats to the Broken Ding Realm to serve as labor in Tuntian. ”

Qianfeng smiled slightly: "Marshal Shengming, the one who attacks the world, the heart is the first, the marshal is indeed a master." ”

Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why does the marshal tease me, does I, Lin Muyu, want to be this kind of person who has exhausted all the organs and stirred up the situation?

Qianfeng knew that he was talking about Qin Yin, so he smiled, hugged his fists and said: "Qianfeng swears allegiance to the marshal and His Highness Yin in this life, even if he is shrouded in horse leather and broken bones, he will never regret it!"

"Thank you. ”

Lin Muyu patted his shoulder armor lightly and said, "But now you don't have to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, now is the time for you to establish meritorious deeds, accept the prisoners and warships." ”

"Yes!"

......

A speedboat galloped away, slowly docked at the edge of the flagship of the merchant army, Lin Muyu and Qianfeng jumped on the flagship, both of them were wearing the armor of the Great Qin Empire, and the rank insignia flashed, which was easy to identify.

The commander of the fleet, Shi Xuqiu, also saw some generals of the Great Qin Empire before, the two gold stars are the captains, and the three stars are the commanders, Shi Xuqiu has seen two stars but has not seen higher, this time there are two people, one is three stars, one is five stars, and their status in the army can be imagined.

"Demote...... Stone desires, see the two adults!"

Shi wanted to bend down and kneel, and the generals at the level of the flagship commander, deputy commander, commander of ten thousand and commander of the thousand commanders behind him also knelt down one after another.

Lin Muyu raised his hand and said: "Commander Shi, get up, I am Lin Muyu of Great Qin, on behalf of the Great Qin Empire to accept your surrender, now please put down all your warships." ”

"Yes!"

Shi Yuqiu slowly unsheathed his saber and placed it on the deck in front of Lin Muyu's feet, with a little suspicion on his face, and said, "What does the marshal plan to do with us?"

"Don't worry, since I accept you as prisoners, I won't kill you. When you come ashore, disband your army in its place, and I will give you food, coils, and grains, and you can go back to your hometown and be reunited with your family. ”

"Really, thank you, Marshal...... Thank you, Marshal!"

The stone wanted to kowtow again and again.

Lin Muyu nodded, and didn't say anything, just ordered the sergeant to raise the Great Qin Empire's Purple Inflower Battle Banner at the flagship.

......

The fierce battle in the East China Sea finally ended after nearly a day and a night, and finally ended in the complete victory of the Great Qin Empire, taking the captured warship to the east with the wind, and arrived at Xiping Port before dark, and at this time, the flag of the Great Qin Empire was already flying on Xiping Port, and Tang Zhen lived up to his expectations and had already taken the city.

One by one, the warships docked at the harbor, and at the same time transferred the magic crystal cannons, cannonballs, and horses on the warships to the shore.

In the evening, a celebration dinner was held in the mansion of Xiping Port, but it was not actually a celebration, it was more like preparing the three armies, and everyone's faces were full of gloom, and there was no joy after the wild victory at all.

Empress Qin Yin sat in the chief position, while Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi were on both sides, followed by Feng Jixing, Qianfeng and others, everyone was waiting, waiting for the staff officers in the army to complete the statistics.

Zhang Wei tore off a chicken leg and ate it first as a respect.

Wei Qiu smiled faintly, holding his chin in his hand, in a thoughtful daze.

The lights in the mansion were a little dim, and the generals such as Xiang Yu, Chen Xiaoli, Qin Yong, and Bai Licang looked at Qin Yin and Lin Muyu one by one, and the atmosphere of this celebration banquet was too heavy.

Not long after, Stargazer slowly walked into the hall with the roster in hand, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the statistics are out." ”

"Read it. Qin Yin said.

"Yes. ”

Stargazing looked at the roster and said: "In this battle, our army lost a total of 1,844 warships, more than 84,700 soldiers were killed, more than 52,100 people were missing, and about 70,000 people were wounded. ”

The generals were stunned, and then they knew why Qin Yin and Lin Muyu didn't have any smiles on their faces at all, although the fierce battle in the East China Sea was a great victory, but the losses were far more than anyone imagined.

"More than 50,000 people are missing, that is, 130,000 people died in battle. Lin Muyu's eyes were a little dull, and he said: "With the addition of 70,000 wounded, only half of our 450,000 army can fight in the East China Sea." ”

Wei Qiu hugged his fists and said: "Marshal Qijiao, more importantly, our military rations are exhausted, there is no food in this Xiping Port at all, when the enemy retreated, a fire burned the granary, and even we don't even know where the military rations are at noon tomorrow, after all, we still have 300,000 troops now, and the daily ration is an extremely terrifying number, General Ding Xi is the commander of the quartermaster department, what do you have to say?"

Ding Xi frowned and said: "It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the materials I have on hand are only a little bit, and most of the warships are occupied by war horses, blades, armor, and heavy artillery, and I can't help it." ”

Chu Yao said: "Also, there is a serious shortage of medicine, half of our warships responsible for escorting medicine were sunk by Filip when they broke through, and now there are more than 70,000 wounded soldiers who need treatment, hemostasis, anti-inflammatory and other injuries are extremely insufficient." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Lin Shuai, Xiping Port is just a seaport, not a place to stay for a long time, we must conquer a big city as soon as possible as a foundation, otherwise...... The beasts will be trapped here, and although the merchant army has been defeated at sea, their land army has not suffered the slightest loss, and once they attack and kill, we will be caught off guard. ”

Lin Muyu only felt that his head was extremely big, and said: "Come one by one, let's talk about the military rations first, how many gold coins we have brought, and send people to nearby places to buy grain, livestock, etc. as soon as possible." ”

"I'm afraid that's a drop in the bucket. Tang Xiaoxi said: "Mu Mu, what a powerful person Chen Yu is, he has already ordered the fortified wall to clear the wilderness, and the civilians near Xiping Port will not have food in their hands, unless we are like Gong Shangming and Bei Minghuan, arresting and eating people." ”

"Great Qin's army will never eat people. Lin Muyu's eyes fell on Sikong Yao, looked at her with a pleading eye, and said, "A-Yao, you have to think of a way!"

Sikong Yao pursed her red lips: "Finally thought of me?!Hmph, there is a way, it depends on whether you want to use it or not." ”

"Well, you say. ”

"Xiping City, a huge Xiping City, one of the famous cities in the Tianji Continent, now only Chen Yu's 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people are defending, once Xiping City is captured, are you still worried about no food?"

"Will Chen Yu give up Xiping City to us so easily?" Lin Muyu was a little suspicious, and frowned: "If I were Chen Yu, I would burn Xiping City with a fire, and I wouldn't leave it to us." ”

"I think Chen Yu should have done this. Qin Yin said.

Situ Sen raised his eyebrows and said: "If I were a marshal, I wouldn't waste time chatting here, but send an iron cavalry with an armor-piercing bow to attack Xiping City at night, Xiping City is only four hundred miles away from Xiping Port, and one night is enough to reach Xiping City, and capture Xiping City before Chen Yu has time to burn the granary, this is the best policy." ”

"I think so, too. Lin Muyu smiled slightly, picked up an arrow, and said: "Situ Sen listens to the order, and orders you to immediately lead the Gentian Battalion of 20,000 iron horsemen to attack Xiping City in the starry night, for the purpose of snatching grain and grass, and be sure to solve the problem of grain and grass before dawn." ”

"Rely on ......," Situ Sen grinned, "Is it just because his subordinates have more mouths?"

"Yes, what else do you have to say. ”

"Can I finish the soup before leaving?"

"No, come on, the Spirit Fire Division filled General Situ Sen with a pot of thick soup and let him drink it while walking on the road. ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

Situ Sen couldn't cry or laugh, and clenched his fists and said: "Your subordinates obey orders! Marshal, if you torture your subordinates like this, you will definitely get hemorrhoids." ”

"Even if you have hemorrhoids, you have to take Xiping City, go quickly. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone laughed, looking at the three armies, I am afraid that Situ Sen would dare to talk to the imperial marshal like this without being subject to the military stick. However, Situ Sen is indeed a famous general and a fierce general, and he will definitely complete the orders given by Lin Muyu, as for the means, they are secondary.

A few minutes later, Situ Sen carried a pot of thick soup and ordered the army to leave.

Lin Muyu said: "Go on, talk about how to solve the lack of medicine?"

"This one is relatively simple. ”

Sikong Yao said: "Less than seventy miles away from here, there is a county called Feijun, Feijun is a city famous for medicine, and it was once a city where the herbs of the entire Xishan Province were concentrated, I can immediately send five thousand iron horsemen to Feijun, and I can come back with a large number of hemostatic drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs before dawn." ”

Chu Yao said happily: "If you can do this, then it would be the best!"

At this time, Qin Yan, who was guarding at the door, walked in and said, "Big brother, it's starting to snow again." ”

"It's snowing again......"

Lin Muyu frowned and said, "No matter how much, the three armies are ordered to rest well tonight and leave for Xiping City early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!"

"Wait a minute, Commander Baili Cang, I have an order for you. ”

"Marshal, please command!" Baili Cang clenched his fists.

"You bring dry food and water early tomorrow morning, leave Xiping Port with the Empire's 30,000 sailors, return to Lingdong Province, and transport the rest of our troops and supplies over, the sooner the better. We have captured nearly 3,000 merchant ships, enough to be your cargo ship. ”

"Yes, yes!"
