Chapter 22 The villain's ambition
It was not until this time that Blackbeard knew that he was afraid. He knew that he had completely kicked a super hard iron plate today, so he no longer fell in love with him. He ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, immediately evacuate here, and fled into the nearby mountains and forests.
And he also greeted his cronies who followed him and were ready to clean up the soles of the guy's feet and grease them, but at this time, in the team of the sea wolves below, suddenly three rockets emitting red light flew, and the three red rockets still rose to the sky with whistles and making a sharp sound.
Blackbeard suddenly had an ominous premonition, which made him suddenly stand up, just like being suddenly targeted by a fierce beast in the mountains and forests, which made him emit a chill in his bones, so he hurriedly turned around and wanted to take people out of here quickly.
But at this time, several muffled sounds suddenly came around him. Several inconspicuous places were filled with smoke, some in the dense canopy, some were in some stone cracks, and the nearest place was in a grass less than 100 steps away from him.
The pupils of Blackbeard's eyes suddenly shrank, and then his body seemed to have been electrocuted. Suddenly, several parts of his body raised several blood foggy at the same time.
Those cronies around him could hardly believe their own eyes. They couldn't imagine that there were so many enemies hiding so close to them and suddenly killed their palm without warning.
Blackbeard's body shook a few times, looked down at several blood holes on his body, looked up at the places where the smoke had not yet dissipated, and muttered: "Faled..." Before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground, and his body suddenly became a ball, and the blood quickly appeared on his body. It spread out and dyed a large area of stone red.
His men all exclaimed and rushed up to save Blackbeard, but at this time, several places sounded one after another, and a mass of smoke surrounded Blackbeard, even if they were knocked to the ground one by one.
The remaining guys were really scared. They shouted one by one, and scattered like frightened rabbits. They fled and plunged into the nearby mountain forest. No one looked back at the body of the black beard who fell to the ground.
It was not until here that more than a dozen figures appeared from the surroundings, glanced at the surrounding situation vigilantly, and quickly opened a warning line. One of them carried a single knife and flew to the Black Beard who fell to the ground. He lowered his head to check the body of the Black Beard, and the cold light in his hand flashed with a knife. He chopped off Blackbeard's head and held it in his hand with a roar. With these dozen ghosts, he quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
After Yu Xiaotian defeated the attack of the mountain thieves below, he immediately ordered the infantry of the four companies to launch a light pursuit. Nearly 1,000 sea wolves immediately roared and rushed out, stepping on the bodies of the mountain thieves at the bottom of the valley and chasing and killing the mountain thieves who were scared to flee for their lives.
After the battle hit dark, the four companies collected their soldiers and withdrew to the valley with torches. At this time, the battlefield in the valley had been basically cleaned up.
Thousands of mountain thieves became prisoners of the officers and soldiers. Under the command of the officers and soldiers, they lit a pile of bonfires in the valley, illuminating the whole valley.
The bodies of the mountain thieves who were killed in the afternoon were also carried together and dug pits in the low-lying places of the valley. Many injured and not dead mountain thieves kept making a sad howl. However, Yu Xiaotian was powerless for these injured mountain thieves and could only order them to repair the knife and knot early. Restrain their pain.
After this battle, Yu Xiaotian led his army and slaughtered nearly 2,000 mountain thieves in the valley. In addition, he captured more than 2,000 mountain thieves and only ran away. Although he could not annihilate them all of them, the most important thing was to set up an ambush in advance and finally killed the thief's head Blackbeard on the spot.
As long as they kill Blackbeard, even if this group of mountain thieves run away, there is no need to worry. Those Blackbeard's trusted subordinates estimate that no one will obey anyone. After going back, they will have to fight to the death, and finally break up, and it will be difficult to become a big weapon in the future.
So at this point, even if Yu Xiaotian has completed this anti-black beard, he can go home.
When the head of the black beard was escorted back to Fuzhou City by Yu Xiaotian and presented in front of Xiong Wencan, Xiong Wencan was really happy to close his mouth, but the faces of those Fujian military generals and some civil servants who looked down on Yu Xiaotian were extremely wonderful.
These people turned out to have made up their minds to watch Yu Xiaotian's jokes, and some people have even prepared bullets. They planned that as long as Yu Xiaotian could not take down a group of black bearded thieves within three months, they would immediately put on bullets and impeach Yu Xiaotian. Even if he did not die in Xiaotian, at least they would at least make him disgraced. In the future I can't be arrogant in Fujian anymore.
However, I didn't expect that in less than two months, Yu Xiaotian wiped out Blackbeard's group, cut back 2,000 heads, captured more than 2,000 prisoners, and brought Blackbeard's head back to Fuzhou City.
When the war report was just sent to the Fuzhou governor's office, many people did not believe that it was true at all, and even Xiong Wencan himself did not dare to believe it. Therefore, the governor's office, together with the three divisions of Fujian, sent a group of officials to travel day and night to Yong'an County to check the results.
On the way, the officials who went were still thinking about it and felt that the victory report sent back by Yu Xiaotian must have been greedy for a lot of water. Even if he got 3,000 heads, it was estimated that he used the method of killing good and risking merit like Zhang Jiace's military generals before.
Some people have even made up their minds to test people's heads. If they find something fake, they will immediately impeach Yu Xiaotian fiercely, so that he can't eat it.
But what these people didn't expect was that when they arrived in Yong'an County and saw the mountains of people treated with lime in the barracks outside the city, they were still shocked.
They jointly examined the real situation of the battle in Yong'an County. They not only asked Yu Xiaotian and his soldiers, but also interrogated a lot of the scattered soldiers controlled by Yu Xiaotian. Even the captured thief soldiers also interrogated a large number of them. After the results were summarized , they found that this victory report was not mixed with any water.
Yu Xiaotian drilled the planning department into the ambush of Blackbeard, and finally defeated the Blackbeard crowd, killed a large number of thieves on the spot, and captured a large number of thieves.
Such a result is really a great victory, and it is not too much at all. So all the officials who rushed to check the actual results closed their mouths and gave up the idea of tearing down Yu Xiaotian.
Even the local magistrate and a large number of gentry in Yong'an praised Xiaotian's military governance methods, and each of them spoke well for Xiaotian, which really depressed those guys who were ready to watch jokes, but there was nothing to say.
When Yu Xiaotian led his troops to evacuate Yong'an County, even a large number of local people rushed to both sides of the mountain road outside the city to send farewell to Yu Xiaotian's people off. Such a scene can be said to be unprecedented in the history of the Ming Dynasty in Fujian.
Officers and soldiers have always been despised by the people, and it is too late to hide. Almost no one has ever seen any officer or army that can be so supported by the people. In such a scene, even those officials who came here to patrol secretly sighed.
They really can't figure it out. Yu Xiaotian himself used to be a thief, and most of his subordinates were touched by pirates. How could he win the support of the people after being caressed? On the contrary, the officers and soldiers brought out by the real military generals who usually self-portunuching to be the pillars of the country were despised by the people.
But the facts were in front of him, which made these people not accept it. They could only look depressedly at Yu Xiaotian with a villain's ambitious expression, riding on a tall horse, receiving the cheers of many people with dignity, and Shi Shiran led his army to leave Yong'an County.
After leaving the boundary of Yanpingfu, Yu Xiaotian ordered Li Dazui to lead most of the generals to return to Weitou Bay first, while he himself led 300 men, together with the Mr. Zhang Qian, rushed to Fuzhou City with the head of Blackbeard.
After listening to the reports of the officials who went to Yong'an County to check the results of the war, Xiong Wencan was happy. When he looked at Yu Xiaotian, he felt good about it. He sighed in his heart that he was lucky that he made such a wise decision last year and would recruit Xiaotian and take him as his confidant. Now he is finally After receiving the reward, how can you not make Xiong Wencan happy!
Therefore, Xiong Wencan praised Yu Xiaotian fiercely in public, which can be said to be a good word. He praised Yu Xiaotian as a flower, and he couldn't wait to hug Yu Xiaotian for a few kisses.
The rest of the military generals also had some officials, with their faces full of embarrassment, and could only accompany them with smiling faces, one by one, congratulations to filial piety.
Yu Xiaotian gave these people a few big eyes and gave them a good breath of anger. As for those guys who were waiting to see jokes, they could only laugh. Even if they were not convinced, they had nothing to say in their hearts.
Of course, Xiong Wencan's news of this great victory must be quickly reported to the court. Although this battle was fought by Yu Xiaotian, at least Xiong Wencan was in charge of the dispatch, and it was also a lot of busyness behind Yu Xiaotian. Therefore, once the emperor is happy, Xiong Wencan's benefits are also indispensable.
