Lü Pinqi led his heavy cavalry and defeated the two Tatars who were in a mess on the post road. After that, he continued south along the post road and followed the two fled Tatars to chase and kill the defeated soldiers.

Yang Zhen stayed behind, commanding the troops of Zhang Chen, Li Lu and Hu Dabao to divide and surround them on the post road, intercepting and killing the enemies who had fallen off their horses or were injured.

Along this post road, which was less than a mile long, in addition to the wounded soldiers moaning in pain and the war horses that kept neighing, the remains of the two Tatars and their horses could be seen everywhere.

Most of the Tianzhu soldiers and Tatars who fell on or near the post road were injured. Some were killed and injured by Zhang Chen, Li Lu and the tens of thousands of enemies buried on the post road. Some were ambushed on both sides of the post road.

Li Lu, Pan Xi and Hu Dabao's troops on the side were injured by grenades thrown by them, while others were killed and wounded by Zhang Chen and Zhang Guogan's musketeers.

Of course, the most fatal blow to these wounded Tatars was the impact of the heavy cavalry brought by Yang Zhen and Lu Pinqi.

More than a hundred war horses carrying heavy armored riders roared past side by side, occupying almost the entire road on the post road. Hundreds of horses were hoofed, and there were thousands of stampedes in a moment.

Not only did they stab the two Tatar cavalrymen who were stranded on the post road off their horses, but they also trampled the two wounded Tatar soldiers who had fallen off their horses but were unable to move due to their injuries and had no time to dodge.

After Lu Pinqi led his heavy cavalry and carried the two Tatars' horses that had lost their masters, they roared past. The two Tatars who had just escaped from being trampled by the horses immediately encountered Zhang Chen who stayed on the outside of the battlefield.

The troops of Li Lu and Hu Dabao were surrounded and killed.

Yang Zhen intended to keep a group of prisoners, but before he could issue an order to surrender without killing, Hu Dabao's troops, who had the largest number of people on the battlefield, were already killing them.

Regardless of whether they were already lying on the ground and wailing, or those who were kneeling and begging for mercy, Hu Dabao's pirate team all treated them equally with swords in hand and no one left alive at all.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen thought about it and had no choice but to let them go.

He knew that these pirates would rather live on the coast in southern Liaoning and become bandits than surrender to the Manchu Tatars. The reason why they did not surrender to the Manchu Tatars was because they were related to the Tianyou soldiers and Tianzhu soldiers who had surrendered to the Manchu Tatars before.

My hatred is as deep as the sea.

In the final analysis, most of these people are from the Dongjiang Town team. After Mao Wenlong died, they belonged to different hills and factions in Dongjiang Town.

It stands to reason that these gangs are all brothers of the same origin gathered together by Mao Wenlong. They should work together, take care of each other, and then unite as one to resist foreign aggression.

However, after Mao Wenlong's death, the relationship between these different factions within Dongjiang Town became extremely complicated. With the help of the imperial court, their mutual grudges and suspicions, or mutual strife and hatred, even

This exceeded the hostility between them and the Manchu Tatars, causing one tragedy after another.

First, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming led the Tianyou soldiers and acted as the leading party for the Manchu Tatars. Taking advantage of their familiarity with the terrain of southern Liaoning, especially Lushunkou, they were willing to serve as the vanguard and led the Manchu Tatars to capture Lushun and attack the Ming army in the city.

The family members and relatives of the division camp committed a massacre.

Later, Shang Kexi led his Tianzhu soldiers to continue to serve as the leading party for the Manchu Tatars. Taking advantage of his familiarity with the location, terrain, and troop deployment of the islands in Dongjiang Town, he led the Manchu Tatar troops to capture the base camp of Dongjiang Town.

island.

At the same time, in order to show his sincerity in surrendering to the Manchu Tatars, and in revenge for the suppression of him by Shen Shikui, the then commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, Shang Kexi commanded Tianzhu soldiers to attack the Ming troops who failed to escape in time on the island, as well as those who stayed on the island.

The soldiers and their families of the hostages were killed in a mass killing spree.

The current group of bandits in Fuzhou Bay are mostly the remnants scattered along the Liaodong coast after the fall of Lushunkou and the destruction of Dongjiang Town. These people hate the Tianyou soldiers and Tianzhu soldiers with all their heart.

In particular, after surrendering to the Manchus, Shang Kexi's former Tianzhu soldiers were placed along the coast of southern Liaoning. They were responsible for the suppression of pirate teams in southern Liaoning, and constantly squeezed the scope of activities of these pirate teams.

If it hadn't been for the fact that the Tianzhu soldiers who had previously been commendable were transferred to fight in western Liaoning, then Hu Dabao and his small team might not have been able to gain a foothold in the Tu'er Island area.

These pirate teams were relatively weak in the past few years and were no match for the Tianzhu Bing and the Tatars. Zhang suffered a lot during the battle with the Tianzhu Bing. Now they only dare to hide on the island and dare not easily go ashore in large numbers.

This time, if Hu Dabao's troops could seize this opportunity to gain the upper hand, they would of course settle their old and new grudges with the helpers in front of them, so they killed the wounded and surrendered Tatars.

No mercy, no mercy.

About half an hour later, there was no longer a living or complete Tianzhu Bing Er Tatar in the Jiulongdi Post Road area.

The heads of the dead were cut off one by one, their useful clothes and armor were stripped off, and their bows, arrows, swords and guns were taken away.

Those who were injured were killed one by one with finishing blows, and then all useful clothing and armor were stripped off them.

The heads of the two Tartars also had the same formal money rat tails, and they also had full war merit heads. Naturally, the advance battalion soldiers of Zhang Chen and Li Lu could not be left on the battlefield.

These heads of the two Tartars were of no use to Hu Dabao, so Hu Dabao and his team focused on the armor, swords, guns and other trophies on the two Tartars.

In addition, the alive and slightly injured war horses captured in Jiulongdi were returned to Yang Zhen's advance camp, while the dead or seriously injured horses that were killed were all returned to Hu Dabao.

These dead horses were of course useless to Yang Zhen, but for Hu Dabao and his pirate team, they were life-saving rations at critical moments.

They are hiding on the islands in the Gaizhou Bay. No matter whether it is on Tuer Island, which is closely connected to the mainland of the Liaodong Peninsula, or on other islands far away from the coast, there is no food production.

In the past, pirates could still make a living by robbing some merchant ships that occasionally passed through the sea. However, in recent years, with the continuous war in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning, there were no merchant ships passing through the Liao Sea.

Therefore, although they were pirates, they had no passing merchant ships or fishermen to rob. Their only source of food was to go ashore and plunder the Tatar or two Tatar farms and villages near the coast.

For other supplies, they could only rely on their own men and horses to go fishing and hunting.

Of course, sometimes, when they are really hungry and cannot survive, these people will sometimes go south to Denglai and go ashore to plunder, but such times are rare.

Therefore, over the years, these pirate gangs hiding on the islands off the coast of Liaodong have lived an extremely difficult life and have found it extremely difficult to survive.

Fortunately, these pirates who came from the army and navy are not incompetent. These years of difficult survival have allowed them to learn some ways of survival.

For example, when it comes to relying on mountains and rivers, they relied on islands and seas, so they naturally learned how to burn mountains and boil seas. They cut down trees, built stoves, boiled sea salt, and then used the boiled sea salt to pickle and preserve the captured food.

Fish, shrimp and prey.

If they don't have this ability, there is no way they can survive for a long time on an island that is basically cut off from external supplies.

Therefore, these seriously injured and dead war horses are a rare bulk food for Hu Dabao and others. They can be skinned, broken down, taken back and salted for preservation, and can be eaten when food is scarce on the island.

use.

"The old saying goes well! If you don't become a family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, but if you become a family, your heart will be broken! This shows how difficult it is to survive at sea!"

Yang Zhen looked at Hu Dabao, who had one eye and was covered in blood. While he was fighting hard to kill the enemy, he was still worried about the livelihood of his pirate team. He saw that he was commanding his pirates to pick up the clothes of the two Tatars and collect them.

The bows, arrows, swords and guns on the ground were decomposing the bodies of the dead horses, and he smiled bitterly and said to Zhang Chen, Li Lu and others beside him:

"When we first met, they asked for a 40-60 split. In fact, I was just like you, a little unhappy and disdainful. I thought they were too greedy for these things!
