Holding torches and rolling up their sleeves, they arrived at the original battlefield with excitement, ready to fight hard and perform well. Lord Zhu and the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army have fought for a whole day, bleeding and sweating, which is really too hard. Let us do all the dirty work of cleaning the battlefield, and you can just rest aside.
Under the illumination of torches and piles of fire, the original appearance of the battlefield appeared before everyone's eyes.
"ah?!"
Seeing the hideous and horrifying battlefield, everyone couldn't help but scream out in fear. Many people squatted on the ground in fear, and the sound of vomiting "vomit, vomit, vomit..." continued at the scene.
All they saw was a complete vision of hell.
The rolling river water was almost dyed blood red, and the land on the shore was soaked red with blood, just like the River Styx in hell in the horror legend.
Countless corpses of Japanese pirates were floating in the river, and many of them were washed ashore by the river.
Either the feet are on the shore and the head is in the water, or the head is on the shore and the feet are in the water, or the whole thing is on the shore.
Many of the Japanese pirates' bodies were swollen from being soaked in the river water, looking hideous, with feather arrows sticking out of their bodies.
Countless big and small fish in the river surrounded the corpses of the Japanese pirates and ate them, wagging their tails excitedly to thank nature for the gift.
Groups of crows were circling over the river bank, chirping like messengers from hell calling back souls. Some of the bolder crows were even pecking at the corpses of the Japanese pirates in the river, enjoying their feast of flesh and blood.
The scene in the woods on the shore was even more horrifying. There were countless corpses of Japanese pirates in the scarlet gray, like evil spirits being burned at the stake in hell.
Most of the corpses of these Japanese pirates were burned to carbonization, as black as charcoal and extremely hideous.
The bodies of the Japanese pirates in the ashes were in various shapes and sizes. Some of them burned together with the charred tree trunks, some twisted and struggled on the ground, some were still crawling on the ground at the last moment of their lives, and some of them were hugging each other... ...
The most terrifying thing was that the scene was filled with a strong smell of meat, which went straight into the mouth and nose and was unavoidable.
Except for the Zhejiang army soldiers who were chatting and laughing, the other people who were traveling with them, not only the young and strong civilians, but even the soldiers brought by Lieutenant General Zhang, were all vomiting so much that they almost vomited out bile.
They were willing to sign up to clean up the battlefield, and they were not cowards. They also had certain psychological expectations of the cruelty of the battlefield. However, after arriving at the battlefield, they found that they had greatly underestimated the cruelty and horror of the battlefield, so much so that it exceeded their nerves' tolerance and they vomited uncontrollably.
"Hahaha, you guys should get used to it after you spit."
When the Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers saw everyone vomiting uncontrollably, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Don't you find it scary and disgusting?" asked a young man who was so vomiting that he couldn't stand up straight, confused.
When you were fighting, you probably didn't have time to pay attention to the battlefield. Don't you feel creepy, scary and disgusting now
"Disgusting? No, not at all. On the contrary, I feel very excited." The Zhejiang Army soldiers shook their heads and laughed.
What? With so many hideous corpses at the scene, you not only don’t feel disgusted, but you feel excited?!
The young and strong people couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. Does that mean that all of you Zhejiang soldiers are psychopaths
"The hands of these Japanese are stained with the blood of our people. Each of them is a criminal who has committed heinous crimes and deserves to be put to death. The more miserable their death is, the more it will comfort the souls of the folks they killed, and the happier we will be." The Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers explained to them when they saw the stunned looks of the people.
"I see... ... "
After listening to the explanation of the Zhejiang Army soldiers, everyone nodded their heads. Looking at the creepy, hideous and terrifying corpses of the Japanese pirates in the woods in the river, they were not as disgusting or nauseating as before.
"My fellow countrymen, my brothers, form a team of two and take care of each other. When cleaning the battlefield, pay special attention to safety and be careful. If you encounter a pirate who is not dead yet, do not ask for permission or hesitate, just kill him directly."
"All the bodies of the Japanese pirates were beheaded and pickled in lime so that they could be rewarded. As for the bodies of the Japanese pirates, they were burned and buried together to prevent the spread of plague and disease."
"If you encounter a pirate whose attire is different from that of ordinary pirates, he may be a high-ranking general of the Japanese crown, and you should put him in a separate column."
"All the weapons of the Japanese pirates found on the battlefield, as well as gold, silver, jewelry and other spoils, shall be returned to the public. No one may keep them privately, otherwise you will be severely punished. Of course, I believe that you will not make such a mistake, but I still want to make it clear to everyone in advance. You must not make such a greedy mistake, so as to avoid turning honor into guilt."
"Okay, I won't say anything more. Everyone, roll up your sleeves and work hard. I will apply for a reward for your hard work later."
Zhu Ping'an stood on the high slope and told everyone the precautions for cleaning the battlefield, which marked the beginning of the battlefield cleaning.
While everyone was cleaning up the battlefield, they actually encountered a few Japanese pirates who were still alive. They encountered five in the river and two in the woods. They were all seriously injured and dying, with only their breathing and heartbeats left.
Once these Japanese pirates, who were still alive, were discovered, they were killed immediately by the Zhejiang Army soldiers without causing any ripples.
When cleaning the battlefield in the woods, only more than half of it was cleaned, because the fire in the woods had not been completely extinguished, and there were still several open flames burning. When cleaning the battlefield, we could only avoid these burning spots and wait until they were extinguished before cleaning these places.
In order to prevent the fire from spreading and endangering surrounding villages and towns, Zhu Ping'an led people to cut down trees and clear grass outside the woods, creating a wide enough isolation zone to ensure that the fire would not spread.
There were also some troubles when cleaning up the battlefield in the river.
Although the river was almost blocked at this time, it was not completely blocked. Some bodies of the Japanese pirates still floated out of the battlefield. Some other bodies of the Japanese pirates that sank to the bottom of the river were washed out of the battlefield by the current and drifted for who knows how many miles.
People were cleaning up the battlefield along the river. After walking seven or eight miles forward, they could still find the floating bodies of Japanese pirates.
It is conceivable that the bodies of the Japanese pirates have been carried away by the current and it is unknown how many miles downstream they have drifted.
In order to prevent the people downstream from discovering the bodies of the Japanese pirates in the river and causing panic, Zhu Ping'an ordered people to walk more than ten miles downstream along the river to report the battle situation of pursuing the Japanese pirates, and asked the counties, towns and villages where the bodies of the Japanese pirates were found to burn and bury them on the spot after confirming that they were those of the Japanese pirates.
