Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 672: Chapter 541: With a Gun in Hand, Slaying Countless.

Yang Zhenshan slightly nodded. Although he felt it would have been better to confirm Yue Hongyi’s death, as things stood, any further discussion was pointless.

Five Innate Martial Artists from the Star Moon Sect, three dead, one captured, only Yue Hongyi’s fate remains unknown.

The captured one was Nan Haiyan, who was taken by Lu Jin and Liang Shengze.

As for the casualties and enemy fatalities of this battle, the tally has not been completed yet.

Over two hours after the great battle ended, Bai Yuanxi arrived slowly with the Jiujiang Central Guard.

Hmm, it’s not that they didn’t join the fight. On their way here, they encountered some fleeing pirates and caught a few small fish and shrimp, so at least the trip wasn’t for nothing.

But Bai Yuanxi was quite downcast.

In this battle, they had the least involvement.

”This subordinate pays respects to the Marquis!”

Yang Zhenshan nodded to him, ”You’ve arrived just in time. You take care of Full Moon Island. We have many wounded needing shelter on the island. You are to immediately lead your soldiers to take over Full Moon Island!”

”Marquis Li, please be troubled to make a trip too!”

Yang Zhenshan said.

The Marquis Li he referred to was Marquis Hai Ning, Li Chao. In this battle, Li Chao was truly just going through the motions. Yanggu Granny Zhou Qing followed the Tenglong Advanced Guard, at least joined the fight, but Li Chao followed Bai Yuanxi and didn’t have a chance to make a move.

The small fishes and shrimps were not even enough to keep Bai Yuanxi’s soldiers busy, let alone require his involvement.

But Li Chao was happy to take it easy, since he didn’t rely on killing enemies to establish his achievements.

”A minor matter!” Li Chao smiled and spoke.

Upon hearing he still had work to do, Bai Yuanxi’s mood suddenly lifted quite a bit.

”This general obeys the command!”

The Star Moon Sect was defeated, the pirate forces were disintegrated, and both the Full Moon Army and the Lower Lunar Army were likewise in disarray.

As Bai Yuanxi led the Jiujiang Central Guard towards Full Moon Island, many deserters of the Full Moon Flag Army had also returned to Full Moon Island.

Suddenly, the entire Full Moon Island was thrown into panic; many soldiers from the flag army started fleeing the island with their families.

By the time Bai Yuanxi arrived at Full Moon Island, only the common people with no boats to escape remained.

That night, Bai Yuanxi occupied Full Moon Island, and the next day Yang Zhenshan arrived first.

A great battle, countless deaths and injuries, merely cleaning up the battlefield would take several days. Yang Zhenshan couldn’t always be adrift at sea, he came to Full Moon Island first to prepare Spiritual Spring Water for the wounded.

Bai Yuanxi took over the barracks and wharf originally belonging to the Full Moon Flag Army, and Yang Zhenshan then arranged for the wounded to be placed in the barracks.

The barracks here were better than the Zhao Wu Guard’s; at the very least, they were housed in wooden buildings and not the Zhao Wu Guard’s temporary tents.

”Marquis, the barracks have been cleared.” Bai Yuanxi came to report.

Yang Zhenshan slightly nodded, ”You take charge of treating the wounded first.”

”What about the people on the island?” Bai Yuanxi asked.

Yang Zhenshan thought for a moment, then said, ”If they are common people, then give them a way to live. If they are Star Moon Sect disciples, execute them without mercy!”

”Yes!” Bai Yuanxi responded.

After a flurry of activity, Yang Zhenshan finally had time to learn about the results of the battle.

Xue Chang’an was in charge of tallying the battle results. Yang Zhenshan set up a temporary office on the wharf of Full Moon Island, and in front of him, Xue Chang’an stood to report, ”Marquis, we killed over thirty thousand enemies, and captured ten thousand and eighty-three people!”

”Over thirty thousand?” Yang Zhenshan raised an eyebrow. Wasn’t this number a bit too vague? Even if there was no need to report the exact number, it should be more accurate to the thousands!

Xue Chang’an knew what the issue was and hurriedly explained, ”The main reason is that the enemy was too complex, most of them were pirates, and these pirates were divided into over a dozen groups, each with different numbers. Also, during the fight, some of the pirates ran away early, while others sank into the sea. It is very difficult for us to tally an exact number now!”
