After General Wang led his troops to kill dozens of Japanese pirates at the city gate, he ordered people to cut off their heads.
On one side of General Wang's saddle was hung the heads of two Japanese pirates who had knelt and surrendered and were killed by him personally.
His personal cavalry killed thirty-two surrendered Japanese pirates at the city gate and hung their heads on their saddles.
As for the infantry, more than twenty heads were collected, and the soldiers who received the heads hung them around their waists.
"Quickly clean up the battlefield and cut off the heads of the Japanese pirates who died in the siege. These heads belong to everyone. Of course, I mean those who followed me out of the city. As for those who did not leave the city, I apologize."
General Wang ordered his men to cut off the heads of the Japanese pirates who had just died in the battle, and promised to divide them equally among the officers and soldiers who followed him out of the city.
"The general is wise! Following the general out of the city is the best thing we have ever done in our lives."
"I am willing to die for the general!"
Naturally, all the officers and soldiers raised their hands in agreement and flattered General Wang. If there was one less head to share, they could get more. There were still hundreds of officers and soldiers left behind on the city wall. Why not share the military merit if they didn't have to? They would not object.
General Wang felt refreshed after being flattered. He cursed with a smile, "Stop flattering me. Hurry up and work and cut off the heads of the Japanese pirates. We still have to continue chasing them. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Your promotion and wealth depend on today."
"Don't worry, sir. We can handle it in ten breaths and won't delay the pursuit of the Japanese pirates!"
The officers and soldiers laughed and received the order, scrambling to cut off the heads of the dead Japanese pirates. After a short while, they had cut off the heads of the Japanese pirates who had just died in the siege. In total, they harvested more than 300 heads of Japanese pirates.
As for the dozens of Japanese pirates who were killed by the artillery carts, it was a pity that only eleven relatively intact heads were found. The others were blown to pieces and either could not be found or were rotten beyond recognition.
The officers and soldiers hung the severed heads of the Japanese pirates on their saddles or around their waists.
For a moment, there was a feeling of barbaric Qin.
"Haha, look at you, fighting with your heads hanging on the ground, a group of tigers and wolves. For a moment, I dreamed of the heroic Qin Dynasty. Just based on our posture, the Japanese pirates are already scared before the battle, not to mention that they have already been defeated and are fleeing like dogs that have lost their homes, without any organization."
General Wang glanced at his subordinates and laughed with satisfaction. These more than 400 heads were enough to earn him a promotion.
However, this is just the beginning. There are still Japanese pirates all over the mountains ahead. It is estimated that at least thousands of Japanese pirates can be captured. Zhu Ping'an can be promoted three levels with his military exploits, so why can't I
"It's all thanks to the general's good leadership. He ignored all objections and led us out of the city to chase the Japanese pirates and eat meat and drink soup."
"One pirate's head is worth fifty taels of silver, and there are still many pirates fleeing in panic ahead..."
The officers and soldiers flattered the emperor while greedily staring at the Japanese pirates fleeing in panic not far away.
Those were not just Japanese pirates, they were fifty taels of silver and opportunities for promotion.
"Hahahaha, that's right, there are still a lot of fleeing Japanese pirates ahead! Charge! Kill them all, get promoted and make a fortune, right now!"
General Wang looked at the Japanese pirates fleeing in front of him, grinned and laughed, swung his sword forward, and ordered his officers and soldiers to charge forward and continue to reap the heads of the Japanese pirates.
"Kill!".
A thousand officers and soldiers shouted excitedly, waving their weapons, and chased after the fleeing Japanese pirates.
Soon, the cavalry caught up with the latest group of fleeing Japanese pirates, which consisted of only more than a dozen people.
The cavalry rushed forward and chopped the backward Japanese pirates to death like cutting melons and vegetables.
Although the infantry were not as quick as the cavalry, they had more people and their targets were the lone and scattered Japanese pirates. They rushed forward, surrounded and blocked them, and soon intercepted more than 20 lone and scattered Japanese pirates, and took care of them in no time.
More than thirty Japanese pirates' heads were collected, and many more were hung on the saddles and waists.
General Wang and a group of officers and soldiers became even more excited. They looked up at the Japanese pirates fleeing in the distance. This time, General Wang didn't need to give orders. A group of officers and soldiers spontaneously chased after them.
"Hahaha, don't run, my fifty taels of silver..."
"Kill him! This is the perfect opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."
A group of officers and soldiers shouted excitedly and chased forward.
The army's morale is high, and today is my destiny to rise. General Wang grinned and rode his horse to follow.
After chasing for nearly a mile, General Wang and his men caught up with a group of fleeing Japanese pirates. There were more than fifty of them, divided into groups of three or five and more than ten waves. Among them were seven or eight old men who were being supported by others to escape.
"You are so old and still a pirate. You are really courting death. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
When General Wang saw those white-haired old Japanese pirates, he couldn't help but grin and sneer. He picked out an old Japanese pirate who was only helped by a young man to escape, kicked his horse's belly, and rushed forward with great force.
The demon cavalry and infantry also looked for their targets, shouting and charging forward.
"General, no, we are not pirates."
"General, my grandson and I are civilians captured by Japanese pirates. We live in Xiliu Village not far ahead. We are not pirates. I am already old and half buried in the ground. How could I be a pirate and bring shame to our ancestors? My grandson is only thirteen years old. We are old and young, how could we be pirates..."
The young man and the old man shouted for mercy in panic, especially the old man, who even revealed his home address in order to prove his identity.
"You come up with this set of excuses again! Look at your bird heads and Japanese skins, and you still dare to quibble that you are villagers. Humph, do you think I will be fooled by you?! You old thing, the top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked. I didn't expect that the villagers at the foot of Suzhou City also surrendered to the Japanese pirates! Then let me clean up the mess for your ancestors! Hey, take this sword from me!"
General Wang spat, stretched out his hand to pull the reins, drove the horse forward, swung his sword and was about to split Huashan with his sword.
"Grandson, run..." The old man saw that something was wrong, pushed the boy hard and shouted anxiously.
Swish!
General Wang swung his sword, a white light flashed, and the old man's head flew off his neck.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, you bastard official, instead of killing the Japanese pirates, you killed my grandfather. I will fight you to the death."
The thirteen-year-old boy was filled with rage when he saw his grandfather’s tragic death, and he rushed towards General Wang with his bare hands.
"You little thief, you've come just in time." General Wang remained calm in the face of danger, shouted loudly, and slashed with his backhand.
Another head flew into the sky.
"Haha, there's not even one person who can fight! The Japanese pirates are just like this!"
General Wang shook his wrist to wipe away the blood on the flying knife, and laughed loudly. He was full of ambition and looked down upon the Japanese pirates all over the world.
If Wang Zhi comes, I will kneel down and call him grandpa!
Two more heads were added to General Wang’s gorgeous saddle, one old and one young, with their eyes wide open, as if they died with their eyes open.
