Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

The flag fluttered, and there was a sound of hunting wind.

A hundred Dong'an warships lined up in a column, blocking the retreat of the coalition forces.

When Su Yuan determined that the coalition forces would attack from the South China Sea, he decided to divide his troops into two groups.

All the way was himself, using Xuanwu's rapid maneuverability and sea transportation capabilities, to transport a large number of artillery positions to the Wenlai coast, creating a solid and terrifying artillery position.

This position is the main fighting force responsible for the heavy damage to the naval forces of the Thirteen Nations Alliance.

On the other way, the elite navy led by Qi Jiguang went around to the rear of the coalition fleet.

Regardless of whether the coalition forces want to retreat back or divert to fight elsewhere, they must withdraw from the artillery range one after another.

For this reason, as long as you lie in ambush on the only way it must pass, you will surely gain something.

It now appears that the first step has been successful.

The artillery position successfully fulfilled its mission and knocked out the coalition fleet with only a few rounds of shelling.

Nearly 50.00% casualties, which is unacceptable for any army.

Know that usually an army has a death rate above 30.00% and the troops will inevitably start to rout.

Unless this is an elite force, or there is a strong leader commanding, this probability can be slightly expanded.

The coalition fleet is not accounted for at all.

As we all know, things like coalition forces always snatch each other when it is beneficial, and turn their backs on each other when it is dangerous.

Now under the strong attack of the positional artillery, the warships of several countries in the coalition army suffered too many casualties, and the rest have chosen to leave the team.

Only about [-]% of the remaining ones are still under the control of Akaxido.

The soldiers on these [-]% of the warships had almost zero morale, and their hearts were full of fear.

Such them, if they encounter the Dong'an Navy blocking in the rear, it can be said that they are in a desperate situation and it is difficult to escape.

The moment Akaxido saw the Dong'an flag, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.

He hurriedly grabbed the handrail, stabilized his figure, and said anxiously to the staff officer: "Quick, get everyone ready to fight! Quick!"

"marshal……"

The staff officer was also desperate at the moment.

In his view, there is no point in continuing to fight.

Their morale is low, their formations are scattered, and the enemy army is waiting for a rabbit, their momentum is like a rainbow... What's the use of continuing to fight like this?

Isn't it just sending you to death?

He looked at the surrounding warships, and sure enough, many soldiers knelt down on the deck covering their faces and weeping after seeing the intercepting warships of the Dong'an Army in the distance.

Looking at it like that, it really doesn't look like he can still fight.

At this time, a sound like thunder came from a distance.

"Listen to the coalition soldiers on the opposite side, surrender and don't kill! Those who resist will die!"

This voice was uttered by Zhao Yun. His real energy was strong, and his voice reverberated above the sea, shaking people's hearts like a bell and drum.

The coalition soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit. At this time, they began to raise the white flag and chose to surrender.

Akaxido was still unwilling to give up. After picking up the binoculars to observe, he ordered forcefully: "There are not many ships on the other side, and there is still a chance to break through!"

The staff counseled bitterly: "Marshal! There is no other way, let's surrender!"

"What did you say?!" Akaxido glared.

"I heard that Dong'an will not abuse the captives. If we surrender, we still have a chance to return to our motherland and home. If we resist, we will die!"

...

After the staff officer finished speaking, other generals on the Marshal also surrounded him.

Judging by their expressions, they obviously agreed with what the staff officer said.

"Marshal, please be considerate of us! We don't want to be bombed to death, or enter the sea to feed fish!"

"I still have a few children in my family. If you surrender, you still have a chance to go back!"

"Surrender!"

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Akashido let out a rage, pulled out the gun from the holster around his waist, and fired a shot into the sky.

boom!
"You traitors, whoever dares to mention surrender again, I will—"

Before he finished speaking, the staff officer next to him suddenly attacked and threw him to the ground.

"Not yet helpful!"

The other generals looked at each other, rushed forward one after another, held Akaxido down, handed in their guns, and tied him up.

Akaxido cursed angrily: "Traitors! How dare you disobey military orders?!

The crowd ignored him, and after tying him up, signaled the crew to raise the white flag.

It was all over when the white flag was hoisted from the tall masts of the Admiral.

Even if there were still a few soldiers who were unwilling to give up and wanted to fight to the end, seeing that even the marshal's ship was hoisting the white flag, they could only surrender even if they didn't want to.

After the white flag was raised, the coalition soldiers came to the deck consciously, raising their hands high.

They don't want Dong'an soldiers to have a misjudgment that "the enemy is pretending to surrender".

"They surrendered."

Qi Jiguang on the Dong'an battleship in the distance saw this scene with a smile on his face.

"It seems that His Majesty's artillery position really hit them hard." Zhao Yun said beside him.

"good."

Qi Jiguang nodded, and then ordered the warship to approach carefully.

Once you find any small movements of the enemy, you will immediately fire to sink the enemy ship.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the coalition army have enough brains, and no one dares to play tricks if they don't want to seek their own death.

After the Dong'an warship approached, Dong'an soldiers boarded the coalition ship one after another, controlled the coalition soldiers, and took over the ship.

On board the Marshal, Qi Jiguang and Zhao Yun went up together.

The surrender faction headed by the staff officer knew that these two were generals of the Dong'an Army, and quickly showed respect.

"My lords, we have already surrendered. Please abide by the prisoner of war treaty and treat us humanitarianly."

Qi Jiguang heard the words, and said indifferently: "The prisoner-of-war treaty that you Western countries made between each other has nothing to do with us. Our Dong'an Army will only act in accordance with the laws of Dong'an."

"Yes Yes……"

The staff officer quickly agreed, but did not dare to say anything else.

As the loser, they really have no right to speak.

Even if the Dong'an Army throws them all into the sea to feed the fish, they have no ability to resist.

What's more, the Dong'an Army has done this before... The ghosts of the Third Fleet of Xifeng Kingdom have not gone far!
The staff officer and the others felt terrified, so they could only talk kindly to each other, praying in their hearts that such a thing would not happen.

Qi Jiguang naturally wouldn't do that.According to the laws of Dong'an, the prisoners of the enemy country must first be put in prison.As for how to deal with it afterwards, it depends on the crime committed.

Prisoners of war who hurt Dong'an soldiers and many people, even prisoners, will be severely punished and executed.

Most of the captives who did not cause harm will be sentenced to labor punishment. After the labor is over, if the country they belong to pays, they can be extradited back.

...

Afterwards, Qi Jiguang imprisoned the marshal, staff officer and other senior officials and generals, and then let the soldiers sail to the East China Sea.

The military base near the South China Sea has not yet been built, and currently cannot accommodate so many ships.

As for himself, he went to Wenlai to report the results of the battle to Su Yuan.

……

Wenlai.

Wenlai's local soldiers and Su Yuan's summoned soldiers are working together on post-war finishing work.

Although the coalition fleet was defeated very quickly, the damage caused by their ship guns to Wenlai Island was also shocking.

The originally beautiful coastline is now full of potholes and scorched black.

Wen Lai, Wang Tian Wenming and Su Yuan walked among them, and the former's heartache was beyond words.

Walking to a collapsed house, Tian Wenming looked at the ruins and couldn't help sighing:

"Sigh, what a pity these Wenlai fishermen's houses are. Many of them are ancestral houses handed down from generation to generation... It hasn't been destroyed by wind and rain for a hundred years, and the cannons are gone with just one blow."

"This is war." Su Yuan said, "Construction and preservation are very difficult, but destruction is only a moment."

Tian Wenming was deeply touched by these words and nodded in agreement.

"But you can rest assured. You Wenlai will be fully and overcompensated for the losses you suffered in this war." Su Yuan said in relief.

"Oh? This compensation comes from..."

With Tian Wenming's emotion, it is impossible to say that he did not mean crying for poverty.

So many houses were damaged and thousands of families were displaced, it would cost a lot of money to compensate for all of these.

If only Wen Lai was allowed to come out, he would definitely be unhappy.

Su Yuan smiled and said: "The compensation naturally comes from the Thirteen Nations Alliance, this time they have to bleed a lot."
