Because in his opinion, it doesn't matter if these people suffer losses.
At worst, we can recapture it later.
after all.
Chen Yuan did not expect this group of people to help him restore his country.
Therefore, his departure from the battlefield was secret and he did not tell the pirates under his command.
The purpose is to allow these people to resist for a longer period of time and attract their attention, so that the possibility of escape will be greater.
As expected, most of the Wei navy's energy was attracted by the pirates.
So much so that even after Chen Yuan boarded a ship, he was not discovered.
It was not until Zhao Jiguang observed the battlefield that he felt something was wrong.
Because it came out from behind.
Everything went very smoothly, and all the pirates retreated.
He knew very well that Chen Yuan, a remnant of the former royal family, actually had some talent in military affairs. Otherwise, he would not have been able to subdue 50,000 to 60,000 pirates in just over a decade.
Logically speaking, the other party should have a means of counterattack, or at least be able to withstand our offensive.
But now there is nothing at all, and there is only one explanation.
That is, the other party is about to escape!
really.
The next moment, a soldier rushed up and said hurriedly: "General, an enemy ship has moved, broken through our encirclement, and is rushing towards the open sea!"
Hearing this, Zhao Jiguang immediately raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although it was dark now, he could still see clearly.
There is a ship on the sea in the distance, moving at the fastest speed.
Combined with the previous situation, he could conclude that Chen Yuan was on that ship.
Immediately, Zhao Jiguang gave an order to stop Chen Yuan at all costs.
Because he knew very well that the reason why coastal areas had been constantly attacked by pirates in recent years was because of this Third Prince Yuan. This person was the culprit, and as long as Chen Yuan was captured.
Then in the future, there will be no more threats to the entire coastal area of Wei.
Besides, the other party is still a remnant of the royal family of the previous dynasty.
It can be said to be a great achievement.
Therefore, Zhao Jiguang knew that Chen Yuan could not be let go at any cost.
However, the other party seemed to have anticipated this and also chose to escape at all costs.
They knew very well that once they were caught, there would be only one outcome: death.
Despite more than a hundred years of preparation, all wasted.
But as long as you are alive, there must be hope.
Especially Chen Yuan.
He was even more regarded as a hope by the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty royal family, and they did not want him to die.
In this situation, even though the navy officers and soldiers received Zhao Jiguang's order and tried their best to chase the ship, they ultimately failed and Chen Yuan still escaped.
Although Zhao Jiguang had anticipated this, he still felt it was a pity.
But there is nothing we can do about it, so let it go if we can't catch it.
He didn't dwell on it too much.
Instead, he focused all his energy on eliminating those pirates.
Zhao Jiguang knew that the battle had actually been won. Even the commander-in-chief had fled. The rest, no matter how brave they were, had their limits. You know, the navy now had assembled an army of over 100,000.
What's more, the pirates are not a regular army and are now at a disadvantage.
It is almost a pipe dream to want to fight against the navy.
Soon, not long after Chen Yuan left.
All the pirates were suppressed.
Some were injured, some died, and some escaped. Only two or three thousand people were left, and they were all surrounded by the navy.
This also means that the battle between the Wei navy and the remnants of the previous royal family has officially come to an end, with remarkable results.
Because of this battle, they not only destroyed dozens of pirate groups, but also seized dozens of ships. You know, this is already a coastal area of Dawei, which exceeds the average pirate force.
Eliminating these people means that there will be no major unrest in the coastal areas in the next few decades.
After all, most of the powerful forces at sea were lost here.
So when Zhao Jiguang heard the results of this battle.
A sincere smile appeared on his face.
You know, from today on, no one will look down on the navy anymore.
"Next, it's up to Eunuch Yu's East Factory." At this moment, Zhao Jiguang turned his head and looked towards the city of Haizhou Prefecture.
He had previously dispatched people to help the East Factory to deal with the White-Clothed Sect members hiding in Haizhou.
But Haizhou is not a battlefield after all.
When handling this matter, we must be extremely careful and cautious, otherwise it would be bad if the people were hurt.
At this moment, Zhao Jiguang was thinking that now that the battle was over and it was a great victory, he had to write a memorial to report this good news to His Majesty.
Let His Majesty know that I have lived up to his expectations!
The other naval lieutenants were also very excited about this.
This is the first time in all these years that the navy has achieved such a huge victory against pirates!
Now, they can be said to not only be proud of themselves, but more importantly, they have vindicated the navy.
At the same time, everyone also believes very much that perhaps starting from today.
Under the leadership of General Zhao, Shuishi will be invincible against the pirates!
Everyone has this expectation in their heart.
...
The capital, within the imperial city.
Wei Yunyi still stayed in the bedroom.
There is no way, I don’t have to attend court or review memorials.
