After this chaos at sea, the officers and soldiers who rushed to the island where the Twelve Linked Docks were located were all dumbfounded. Now that their retreat was cut off and their commander's life or death was unknown, would they fight or surrender next?
Du Xiaoqing used Iron Whistle to call back the brothers who had already started to evacuate.
In this situation, with Qin Yuesheng in charge, there is no need to flee. Instead, a large number of manpower is needed to launch a counterattack and clean up the mess.
"Kill! Kill these damn officers and soldiers!" Many bandits rushed out from all corners of the Twelve Linked Docks, holding all kinds of weapons and rushing as ferociously as wolves.
Although their attire was not as uniform and neat as that of the officers and soldiers, and although their weapons were not as new and sophisticated as those of the officers and soldiers.
But at this moment, facing a group of pirates rushing towards them like tigers and wolves, the officers and soldiers were in a dilemma and hesitated.
So they began to retreat while resisting the attacks of the pirates, and the large army slowly began to retreat to the shore.
"Stop it!"
Suddenly, a startled roar came from the sky. Both the pirates and the soldiers were shocked and subconsciously looked up at the sky. They saw Qin Yuesheng carrying Liu Ming and Zeng Jinzhao and walking slowly towards them.
Seeing that their commander was actually being held in Qin Yuesheng's hand like a chicken, the officers and soldiers' already little fighting spirit was instantly wiped out. They all looked shocked and didn't know what to do.
"It's up to you. You know what to do, right?" Qin Yuesheng lowered his head and said to Liu Ming.
"Stop! Everyone, drop your weapons and surrender on the spot! This is an order!" Although Liu Ming looked very weak because he had just choked on water, under Qin Yuesheng's gaze, he quickly mustered up his strength and shouted loudly.
Military orders were as firm as a mountain, and the officers and soldiers who had retreated to the seashore had no choice but to drop their weapons and surrender.
"Don't take any more action. Go find some ropes or chains and put these soldiers in jail." Qin Yuesheng said as he landed on the ground.
These pirates all knew his identity. Even the four dock masters had to treat him with respect. Naturally, they did not dare to disobey Qin Yuesheng's orders.
So some of the pirates immediately went to find ropes and tied up the surrendered officers and soldiers by putting their hands behind their backs.
At this point, Liu Xian's plan to attack the Twelve Linked Docks was completely a failure. I'm afraid that when he gets the news soon, he will be so angry that he will be fuming.
Although Liu Xian had already taken full control of Yangzhou Prefecture, this attack on the Twelve Linked Forts was the first step in expanding the territory of Jiangnan and the first large-scale expedition of his army.
The first battle of the expansion to the south of the Yangtze River was lost without success. The failure to start with a good start would undoubtedly bring about a low morale among his army.
Of course, these are not things Qin Yuesheng needs to consider.
"Old Jin, are you still holding on?" Du Xiaoqing asked Jin Haishi, whose wound Sanhuang was bandaging.
This man had just had his arm cut off by a sword while trembling with many Yellow Turban masters. If Qin Yuesheng had not arrived in time to rescue him, he would have been lying on the ground like Liao Tietui, unable to breathe again.
Jin Haishi smiled bitterly: "I won't die."
As soon as Qin Yuesheng arrived, he killed those Yellow Turban masters with brutality. When he had time, he used acupressure techniques to control the bleeding from the broken wound. Although his face became much paler, he was lucky enough to save his life.
"Uncle Jin, your arm." Sanhuang handed Jin Haishi's broken arm to him. After all, he was a child who had never seen a big scene. When he held a broken arm that was still warm, he couldn't help but show a look of panic on his face.
During the time that Qin Yuesheng left Sanhuang in the Twelve Linked Village, everyone in the Linked Village took good care of him and was very attentive to him because he was Qin Yuesheng's apprentice.
Sanhuang, who had been disliked by his own mother since childhood and later captured by pirates as a slave, had never enjoyed such a life. He was extremely kind to Du Xiaoqing, Jin Haishi, Tie Shaozi, Liao Tietui and others, and recognized them as uncles early on.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a piece of flesh and a bone on a human body." Jin Haishi laughed heartily.
As pirates, it is inevitable that they will not get injured. Under the siege of so many masters of internal strength, he only broke an arm and was lucky to be alive.
"Du Xiaoqing!" Qin Yuesheng shouted towards the top of the city wall.
Soon, Du Xiaoqing, who was still able to walk swiftly, and Tie Shaozi ran down from the city wall, half-knelt in front of Qin Yuesheng and said, "Sir."
"Send people to rescue all the officers and soldiers on the sea and detain them. Also, take people to control the ships that are trying to escape and don't let them return to Jiangnan." Qin Yuesheng turned around and pointed to the sea.
The sword he just struck shattered many ships, but a few ships remained intact and were about to turn around and escape from this sea area.
What Qin Yuesheng wanted was to recruit all the officers and soldiers to join the Twelve Linked Docks in order to strengthen the strength of the Twelve Linked Docks. Naturally, it was impossible for him to let them leave.
"Yes." Du Xiaoqing and Tie Shaozi immediately called their men and quickly chased after those ships on their small boats.
The big ship is bulky and its speed on the sea is not as fast as the small boats that the pirates use to rob ships.
In addition, these small boats have been carefully modified by some pirates who are familiar with carpentry. They are propelled by wind and waves and have a miraculous effect. The speed of riding the wind and waves is even more astonishing.
