Fan Changxiang is the head coach of Yongtai City, commanding the eight battalion camps, which together form a sentence.
Good times in Yongkang.
Peace and peace of the people.
Given his military rank, of course he has a group of personal soldiers, most of whom are fellow juniors from the Yanshan Panlong Sect.
It stands to reason that these monks in the Lingxiao Realm are not low in status.
But now they were stamping on the ground, looking like trackers, dragging thick and long iron anchor chains, and then shouting neat chants, forcefully brought back the captured Liubo Navy fleet.
"Hiss——" Chen Tian was speechless.
Everyone was in disbelief and dumbfounded. Even though they knew that the disciples of the Panlong Sect had entered Taoism through martial arts and possessed great power, they still did not expect that a battleship weighing ten thousand pounds would actually appear in such a shocking form.
"The spiritual food produced by Hekunmen and Qusijian really nourishes Qi and blood." Chen Tian joked.
Fan Changxiang clasped his forehead, shrugged and said bitterly: "It snows in Yanshan Mountain in May. Disciples of the Panlong Sect, let alone piloting warships, have few opportunities to swim in the river, so we can only make this decision."
"Okay, how about these battleships?" Chen Tian waved his hand.
When the Ghost Lantern Organization noticed the Liubo Navy early, it was not because they wanted to spy on the military situation, but because they discovered that the commander-in-chief Han Yuankai had a grudge against Zhao Pingshan, and even falsely accused Zhao Pingshan of betraying the enemy while he was guarding the front line.
After receiving this news, there is no need to think too deeply. Han Yuankai will definitely find an excuse to delay the war and will not rush to Zhao Pingshan's aid for a long time.
But assumptions are assumptions.
Chen Tian finally sent Fan Changxiang with the newly developed divine machine arrows to ambush Liubo Navy. To be honest, Chen Tian only wanted to delay the offensive. After solving the Xuanjia Anvil Camp, he could slowly fight Han Yuankai.
War of attrition.
After all, the Yongtai Navy is said to be a navy. In the final analysis, it is still just a troop carrier carrying soldiers, and its combat power is extremely limited.
But Chen Tian never expected that the power of the Divine Machine Arrow was extremely amazing, and with the help of Xu Xian and the Yin Evil Snake, he easily captured the Liubo Navy.
"Except for the flagship, all remaining warships were captured by the headquarters, and there were more than 6,000 prisoners." Fan Changxiang reported truthfully.
Chen Tian nodded and suddenly said: "General Fan, do you think these naval forces can be used by me?"
"Probably not."
"Oh?" "The size of the Liubo Navy is not large. It has been cooperating with Gusu City to act as a merchant ship. It is more like a boatman escorting escorts than a navy." Fan Changxiang said happily and added,
"Later, when the war broke out, Han Yuankai borrowed
They forcefully recruit fishermen to join the army, but their combat power is not high enough."
Leaving aside the Xuanjia Anvil Battalion and the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry, most of the rest of the Yin family's coalition forces are a ragtag group with no military spirit at all. The soldiers at the bottom are just living with everyone, and they don't care whose name the military flag is.
Chen Tian originally wanted to recruit these veterans to strengthen the Yongtai Navy, but after hearing Fan Changxiang's explanation, he suddenly lost interest.
Fishermen are only an official term, but they are called Danhu among the people. Most of the ancestors of this group of people were sinners and suffered discrimination. They had no land in their names and were not even allowed to go ashore for burial after death.
Therefore, Danhu is almost synonymous with refugees. Anyone can step on them, and it is not uncommon for them to be forcibly conscripted into the army.
Thinking of this, Chen Tian understood why Fan Changxiang easily defeated Liubo Navy. It was strange that such a unit had combat effectiveness.
It is estimated that seeing the destruction of Han Yuankai's flagship, the morale of the army was immediately in chaos, and the appearance of the evil snake was so frightening that they immediately surrendered.

Chentian also had some impression of Danhu. When he encountered the Longhu Cavalry at the beginning of the Battle of Zishui, Pingmuguan Yin Jianyuan ordered an iron lock on the Hengjiang River, and planted countless barbed and hidden stakes in the shallow water on both sides of the river, and the corvee he was responsible for was Danhu.
household.
However, when the Beicaoxi caravan evacuated from Gusu City later, they were ordered to take all the Dan households from Gusu City to Yongtai City, and most of the mulberry fishing ponds along the Chang River were also given to them.
Now that two or three months have passed, the Danhus are not living and working in peace and contentment, but they are definitely having enough food and clothing and can go ashore and do activities like other civilians.
"Six thousand prisoners?" Chen Tian clicked, feeling that this was the most enemies captured alive in all previous battles, and the organization was also the most complete.
He waved his hand and signaled Fan Changxiang to lead the way: "Let's go see them now."
Prisoners of war and refugees were treated very differently.
When 70,000 refugees were sent to Wubao earlier, there were indeed soldiers guarding them throughout the process, but the refugees were not harmed at all.
But these prisoners of war were in groups of ten, with ropes tied tightly around their necks, like a string of grasshoppers, with sharp bamboo thorns piercing their skin and bleeding red blood.
Although they had never seen Chen Tian, they saw the crowds coming like stars and the moon, and they knew that the infinite and supreme god who decided their life and death was already in front of them.
No one took the lead. The prisoners of war were like wheat under a sickle. They all fell to their knees, with their heads knocked deeply to the ground, and bursts of begging for mercy could be heard.
Chen Tian frowned: "Are these really the prisoners of war of Liubo Navy?"
It was not that he felt that the prisoners of war begged for mercy easily, which was a loss of military dignity, but he saw that not only were their clothes in tatters, but they were also skinny and sallow, with countless ribs on their sides.
If Fan Changxiang hadn't stated in advance that these people were prisoners of war, Chen Tian would have thought that they were beggars snatched from the slums, and they didn't look like soldiers at all. "It's absolutely true." Fan Changxiang nodded heavily and added, "The navy is different from the infantry.
, relied more on battleships to exert their combat power, so when the general boarded the ship to capture them, he found that they were not wearing armor and had no effective resistance.
.”
For the same soldier, it makes a huge difference whether he wears armor or not. Since Han Yuankai forcibly recruited Danhu to join the army, it was impossible to distribute armor to them.
On the one hand, he did not have the financial resources to arm 6,000 men, and on the other hand, he was wary of their rebellion, so it is not difficult to see that Han Yuankai only regarded them as talking animals to drive ships.
"Dare you ask God to look here." Fan Changxiang pointed to several swollen prisoners of war on the field and explained, "These people were captured in water cages hanging outside the side of the ship."
"After interrogation, it was found that they were all soldiers who had failed to escape at night. They were later captured by Han Yuankai and put into water cages to be sunned to death alive."
Chentian looked back and saw that there were hundreds of bamboo cages hanging on both sides of the battleship. The dark brown blood stains covered the green background, making it look particularly ferocious.
"May I ask the Lord how to deal with these prisoners of war?" Fan Changxiang said politely.
When everyone in the audience heard this, they suddenly fell into a thick and oppressive silence, and their hot eyes focused on Chen Tian.
"What do you think?" Chen Tian stood with his hands behind his back.
Fan Changxiang thought for a while and said seriously: "This ambush did not cause any casualties. It can be said that it was effortless. The general believes that they should be treated as ordinary civilians, which shows the generosity and kindness of the god."
"Since you already know everything, why bother asking me again?" Chen Tian smiled slightly and ordered, "Register these households according to the regulations, make statistics on their skills by category, and place them in the Makino Wubao."
"The newly reclaimed farmland and pastures are short of manpower. They can still make a living. As for their status as prisoners of war, let's not mention them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into cheers. Several gangsters who had been tortured into human form couldn't bear the ecstasy and even fainted and fell to the ground. Chentian waved his hand and motioned for Yousi to take them down to eat, and then boarded the battleship to summon him.
Cheng Yiliang, ready to inspect the loot just seized.
