Zhang Huan never thought that the culprit who killed Lan San and others could be captured by him.
You must know that the Zheng family has hundreds of warships.
How could it be so easy to capture the enemy?
But it was God's will that destroyed the Li Daozong and massacred him.
Lan San's enemy really fell into his hands.
Zhang Huan remained calm at this time, because the Wang Jian's duties were not over yet, and there were other Zheng family warships that had fled and needed to be searched.
But unfortunately, because it took too much time to capture this gunboat, the Wang Jian only sank another Zheng family gunboat under the leadership of the clipper ship.
This time the Wang Jian was not surrendered because there were not so many people on board.
Zhang Huan didn't want to be in trouble and sunk them all.
At this time, the night was darkening, and the Wang Jian and the other two warships joined together and slowly moved southward on the sea.
Early the next morning, the three warships sailed southward at full sail.
On the way, they kept encountering clipper ships and patrol ships that were searching everywhere.
Now the Polu navy was finishing the sweep.
The Wang Jian sailed near the burned and sunk Li Daozong.
At this time, the Li Daozong had sunk under the sea.
However, thanks to the clear water here, the black and broken shadow of the Li Daozong, which sank more than ten feet below the sea, could still be seen. .
Zhang Huan ordered all the more than 60 captured Zheng family sailors to be put on the deck.
"Captain, you committed suicide without authorization, which is against the military regulations of our army.
I can only report it to the commander-in-chief."
Governor Cao Feng stepped forward and said.
Although he also sympathized with Lan San very much, committing suicide without permission was also illegal.
It was a big crime, let alone dozens of people.
As the governor of this warship, he had to report it, otherwise Shangfeng would first hold him accountable.
"Cao Feng, I won't blame you.
After this incident, I will apologize to your lord."
Zhang Huan had no intention of embarrassing Cao Feng, but these people in front of him must be killed, otherwise he was afraid that if they were handed over to Shang Feng, he would Finally, he made peace with the Zheng family, and finally tolerated the murderers of Lan San.
Zhang Huan also believed in revenge.
He didn't want Lan San's enemy to return home unscathed in the end.
For this, he risked his life and lost his position as captain, and was also prepared to accept the punishment of military law.
All the armor on the Wang Jian were dispatched together, and all the more than 60 Zheng family sailors were escorted onto the deck.
A table with incense was placed at the bow of the boat.
Since there were no fruits and vegetables on board, the table was filled with strong wine and several dishes made of bacon and fish.
Zhang Huan solemnly offered incense and worshiped, and almost all the soldiers on the deck came forward to worship.
This was not Zhang Huan's fault alone, nor was Lan San's death alone.
There were more than 300 sailors and armored gunners on a Tang-class battleship, all of whom were killed and sank underwater.
They are from the same navy, and they may even have fought together before, but one day they may end up like them.
Who can say for sure when the war is fierce and desperate.
All the people devoutly burned incense and silently said well to the brothers.
At this time, there was a commotion among the prisoners of war.
These people were all crying and begging for mercy.
They were neither stupid nor blind.
If they did not understand the situation before them, their life would be in vain.
These Polu Army soldiers wanted to kill them to worship the Polu Army warship and soldiers that they sunk.
They had no way to survive.
Immediately, cries, begging for mercy, and even curses kept ringing out from Wang Jian's ship.

"You bastard, if you dare, behead your grandfather and let his subordinates go."
Yang Geng roared loudly.
Zhang Huan heard this and came to Yang Geng.
He took a good look at the short and stocky Yang Geng.
At this time, Yang Geng's beard and hair were disheveled and his face was flushed.
"You, the Zheng family, colluded with the Yi people to spy on the Ming Dynasty and kill our brothers.
You are extremely justified."
Zhang Huan sneered.
"That's what you were waiting for.
If you didn't invade south, why would you and I be at war with each other?"
Yang Geng stared at him and shouted, there was something he couldn't say at this time.
Zhang Huan suddenly felt that his own family was ridiculous.
What could he say by arguing with the enemy?
Zhang Huan whispered a few words to the guards.
Several guards immediately came up and dragged Yang Geng to the bow of the ship.
Then they cut off Yang Geng's feet with two clicks of the waist knife.
Immediately, large amounts of blood spurted out.
Yang Geng was not human.
The sound was shrill and miserable.
"If someone makes noise again, this is what will happen.
If you are more honest, I will give you a good reward."
A guard shouted loudly.
The voices of these prisoners of war were lowered.
Yang Geng's tragic situation frightened them.
They would rather die quickly than suffer this fate.
Next, a group of ten people were escorted to the side of the ship and beheaded.
This time, these Zheng family sailors could only cry in low voices and did not dare to shout loudly.
Yang Geng's tragic scene frightened them.
They would rather die quickly than end up with that fate. .
Groups of Zheng family sailors were beheaded in public, and their bodies were thrown into the sea.
The seawater around the Li Daozong was dyed red with blood, attracting several nearby sharks to bite the corpses.
The more than 300 soldiers of the Polu Army who had been sleeping under the water were waiting for the beheading of their enemies the next day.
It was really a retribution.
In the end, the unconscious Yang Geng was thrown into the sea alive.
He was awakened as soon as he entered the sea.
The seawater killed his wounds and caused severe pain, making him scream wildly.
His shouts and the flapping of his hands attracted two sharks to bite the fresh prey, and immediately Yang Geng's shrill screams resounded throughout the nearby sea.
Zhang Huan watched coldly as Yang Geng was completely dismembered until the shouting disappeared.
He would not feel any regret for the misery of such an enemy.
This was the retribution they deserved.
Zhang Huan handed over the important task of commanding the entire ship to the first mate, and he himself returned to the cabin confinement on the lower deck, waiting to be handled by Shangfeng after returning.
On the way back, Wang Jian saw the wreckage of many warships still on the sea.
Those with no salvage value were drifting with the current, and those that could be repaired were already taken over by sailors from the Polu Army and moved eastward to Anping Fort.
Drive away.
From time to time, ship fragments and the corpses of Zheng family sailors appeared on the sea surface.

Of course, occasionally the corpses of sailors from the Polu Army also appeared, indicating that the Polu Army's navy also suffered a lot of damage.
When the Wang Jian arrived at the sea outside Anping City that afternoon, the warships of the Polu Army had already covered the entire sea outside Anping.
At this time, thousands of Zheng family and allied troops besieging Anping City had laid down their weapons and surrendered, and Li Lu was in the process of collecting their armor and surrendering troops.
The annihilation of the Allied Navy and the defeat of the Zheng Family Navy determined that these soldiers were abandoned.
The Polu army did not need to lift a finger.
They only had to besiege the island where Anping City was located.
These thousands of soldiers would soon be lost due to lack of They were starved of food and rice, so they readily surrendered.
There was no need to hold on, and no one would come to rescue them.
Zhao Lie did not board Anping City.
All the soldiers in Anping City were also busy accepting prisoners, and he did not want to cause trouble.
At this time, Li Hu boarded the Di Qing and was reporting to Zhao Lie the basic situation of the battle.
More than fifty coalition warships were destroyed and more than thirty coalition warships were captured.
More than twenty of them were severely damaged, and less than ten were not seriously injured.
The Englishman Weddell was killed in the battle, and Sanders and Van Penny were captured, as well as more than 6,000 sailors and thousands of people on the shore.
The Zheng family fleet destroyed 500 fireships and more than 100 gunboats, and captured more than 40 gunboats.
It is estimated that at least nearly 20,000 Zheng family sailors were killed, and nearly 10,000 Zheng family sailors and Zheng family troops on the shore were captured. soldiers.
This was supposed to be an undoubted victory, but Li Hu's rough report of the damage to the Polu navy was also extremely serious.
A total of twenty-six clippers, eighteen patrol ships, twelve Galen merchant ships, twenty old sailing ships, two Sui-class battleships, and five Tang-class battleships were sunk or basically destroyed.
In addition, more than twenty warships of the Polu army were seriously damaged and are still undergoing urgent repairs.
These emergency repair ships can only pray that there will be no strong wind and rain in the past few days, otherwise they will sink into the sea.
Most of the other Polu warships were also damaged and are still undergoing repairs.
Li Hu roughly estimated that more than 3,000 Polu navy soldiers were killed, and thousands more were injured, with nearly a thousand seriously injured.
This is the biggest loss that the Polu Navy has encountered since its establishment.
This makes Zhao Lie and Li Hu heartbroken.
It is most outrageous that these elite soldiers and generals who have accumulated for many years died in Xiaoliuqiu far away from their hometown today.
What's more, most of them died at the hands of the Zheng family navy masters.
Zhao Lie's blood surged when he thought of this.
At this time, a small boat approached, and Zhao Feng climbed up the ladder onto the Di Qing.
He saw that his left hand was wrapped in cotton with a little blood on it.
"The third brother is also injured."
Zhao Lie saw Zhao Feng's injury at a glance.
He couldn't help but care about his brother Zhao Lie, but asking Zhao Feng to retreat before the battle would damage the morale of the Polu army.
Of course, Zhao Feng would not agree.
Zhao Lie was also concerned about the safety of his younger brother, who was still a little reckless.
"Second brother, my injury is nothing serious, it was just scratched by a rocket," Zhao Feng said indifferently to his own injury.
Regarding Zhao Feng's unauthorized absence from his post, Zhao Lie and Li Hu didn't say anything.
The children of the Zhao family all went into battle to fight with their own arrows.
It was normal to see their second brother when they came back.
Zhao Lie and Li Hu did not expect the next scene.
Zhao Feng suddenly knelt down towards Zhao Lie.
"Second brother, my younger brother came here without being summoned just to ask the second brother for something.
I hope the second brother will agree."
Zhao Feng knelt on the ground and cupped his hands.
"Tsk, my brother, why are you kneeling down?"
Zhao Lie was also a little dumbfounded.

What's the situation?
His brother is still young and a bit generous, but this situation is also a bit too inconsistent.
"If second brother doesn't agree, I won't get up."
Zhao Feng stared at Zhao Lie and said.
"Third brother, if you don't tell me, what will I ask my brother to promise?"
Zhao Lie couldn't laugh or cry.
Although they are brothers now, Zhao Lie is still the commander of the Polu Army.
Can he agree to anything?
"Yes, Captain Zhao should tell the matter before the commander-in-chief can make a decision.
Otherwise, how can we easily agree."
Li Hu also interjected.
"Let's talk if you have anything to say."
Zhao Lie's face darkened
