They watched as the Flame Dragon completed its orderly salvo and accurately covered the enemy's position.
A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.
It seemed to be the same as the data in the game. The soldiers on this warship were all veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles. Their combat quality was amazing!
On the deck, Princess Yi Mei, who had witnessed everything, was so shocked by the orderly volley that she was speechless.
This kind of firepower had completely exceeded her understanding.
Even if it was a Heavenly Weapon summoned by the Heavenly Father, it wouldn't have such terrifying power, right?
After confirming that the main force of the Qing army had been destroyed, Lin Yu planned to go down and see the results of the battle.
"Take 200 soldiers from the ship and bring guns with you.”
"I, I want to go too!"
When Princess Yi Mei heard this, she immediately said.
"You, what are you going to do?"
Lin Yu looked at her in confusion, not knowing why she was here.
" They must have come from Tianjing's direction. Perhaps there are captured Taiping Country soldiers among them. I want to ask someone about the situation in Tianjing!"”
Princess Yi Mei blushed and said in embarrassment.
When they had broken out of Tianjing, the situation had been too chaotic, and the Xiang Army had been in a tight pursuit.
As a result, they did not have time to stop and collect information on the other Taiping Country troops. After she was out of danger, Princess Yi Mei was especially worried about the safety of the others and wanted to understand their situation.
"Okay, but listen to my instructions. Don't run around, understand?？”
"Yes, yes, I know!"
Princess Yi Mei nodded her head obediently, indicating that she would obey the command.
Lin Yu instructed and found two soldiers to protect her. Then, he took a small boat and went ashore.
……
Arriving at the battlefield, he took a look and found that the Qing army's 20 heavy cannons had all been destroyed.
Under the terrifying power of Flame Dragon's main cannon, a few of the cannons were blown into pieces. The rest were either blown into two pieces or deformed and couldn't be used anymore.
Lin Yu squatted down and knocked on the cannons. He realized that they were all made of copper.
Copper was a good thing, but it couldn't be wasted!
Therefore, he had people collect the destroyed cannons and prepare to bring them back for recycling.
Each of the heavy artillery of the Xiang Army weighed thousands of kilograms, and the twenty cannons contained dozens of tons of copper. If they could recover all of them, they could make a small fortune.
However, compared to these spoils of war, the other spoils of war were more attractive to Lin Yu.
"Captain, in this battle, our army destroyed 25 enemy cannons, killed more than 2700 enemies, and seized 2200 firearms of various types, as well as more than 1000 cold weapons such as swords, spears, bows, and arrows.”
As the soldier reported the results of the battle, the system's reward also arrived.
The reward for completing the mission was 1 million taels of silver, and the reward for killing 2700 enemies was 27,000 taels of silver. In total, the reward was 1,027,000 taels of silver.
Looking at the 1,027,000 taels of silver and the 10 brand-new Krupp Field Cannons in the system warehouse, Lin Yu revealed a satisfied smile.
With the 1000 rifles and 10 field cannons, he could start building a fully equipped field regiment!
In this case, not only would the navy have it, but the army would also have it.
In the future, there would be no need for the navy to go into the water to do the work of the army!
Therefore, they had to start recruiting and expanding the army.
"We also captured more than 20 captives. One of them seems to be a big fish!”
"Oh? Caught a big fish? Bring him up for me to see!"
Soon, Liu Songru, whose face was covered in wounds and whose armor was tattered, was brought to Lin Yu.
Liu Songru was very lucky. During the first round of bombardment, he was not killed by the explosion. Instead, he was blown off the top of the mountain by the shock wave of the artillery shell. He avoided the next round of bombardment and survived.
However, when he opened his eyes, a few guns were already pointed at his head. He had become a prisoner in a daze.
"You are the commander of this Qing army?”
After Liu Songru was brought up, Lin Yu sized him up.
Although the armor on the other party's body had been blown apart and he looked rather miserable, the fact that he could equip such armor was enough to prove that his identity was not ordinary.
The ordinary Qing soldiers on the ground didn't have such good armor.
"Hmph, if you want to kill, then kill. What nonsense!”
When Liu Songru saw Lin Yu, his eyes revealed a trace of surprise.
Didn't they say that he was an accomplice of the bandits?
Why was their attire so different from the bandits?
Didn't hair bandits wear yellow clothes and tie their hair?
Why were these people all dressed in white and had short hair?
"You want to die? That was fine too, but it wasn't that simple!”
Lin Yu smiled at him, pulled out his dagger, and walked towards him with a smile.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Seeing the sinister smile on the other party's face, Liu Songru was a little afraid.
He wasn't afraid of death. A veteran general on the battlefield had long disregarded life and death.
However, he was very afraid that the other party would torture him. Because the Xiang Army often did this kind of thing, he knew very well how painful it was to be tortured!
"Me? I plan to use a dagger to cut off the tendons in your hands and feet, then make a few cuts and sprinkle some sugar on you. Then, I'll put you here and give you to the insects and beasts in this forest. How about it? Isn't this way of dying very creative?”
Lin Yu had never thought of himself as a good person, so he could really do such a thing without any burden.
Gulp!
Liu Songru saw the determination in Lin Yu's eyes. He really planned to do this!
"If you have the ability, fight me openly. What kind of hero is using such methods? I don't accept it!”
The fear of death made him struggle with all his might. This guy was very strong, and the soldiers could not catch him. He almost broke free.
"You want to fight me one-on-one?"
When Lin Yu heard the other party's words, a strange expression appeared on his face as he looked at him and asked.
"What's wrong? Don't you dare?"
When Liu Songru heard Lin Yu's words, he was delighted. He thought that there was a chance, so he deliberately mocked him.
"It's not that I don't dare to, but what benefits can I get from defeating you?”
"Hmph, if you win, my life will be yours. Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know. If you want to kill me or cut me up, I will listen to you!”
Hearing the other party's words, Lin Yu laughed and said,"Alright, then I'll fulfill your wish. Give him his weapon!”
Liu Songru was overjoyed. After untying himself, he grabbed a large knife from the ground and slashed it at Lin Yu's head!
In his opinion, the other party looked so weak that he couldn't stand the wind. He didn't look like a general at all, but more like a weak scholar. How could such a person be his match?
In the entire Xiang army, there were only a few who could beat him!
However, contrary to his expectations, the other party's expression was unusually calm in the face of his sudden attack. There seemed to be a trace of a smile in the calmness!
Then, he saw the other party raise something that he didn't know what it was. Then, he heard a deafening voice.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Liu Songru felt a sharp pain in his right leg. His body lost its support and fell to the ground.
Looking at Liu Songru, who was lying on the ground with a dumbfounded expression and had yet to react to what had happened, Lin Yu blew the smoke from the muzzle and said calmly.
"Sir, times have changed!"
