"What are you shouting at the Tenth Village? Could it be that Yan Siqi is dead?" Zheng Tie looked in the direction of the Tenth Village in confusion.
The shelling of Shizhai has not stopped, and he was not surprised that Yan Siqi was killed by the shelling.
Yan Weixin listened attentively, and then said: "It sounds like they are shouting that the boss is dead. Maybe Yan Siqi was shot to death by our cannon."
"It's not impossible." Zheng Tie crossed his right arm with his left hand and pinched his chin with his right hand.
Yan Weixin looked towards the direction of the Tenth Village and said: "I think the bombardment can be stopped. Let the fire gun team move forward to attack the people in the Tenth Village. If Yan Siqi is really dead, the Tenth Village should be leaderless now. It's just one move." A good opportunity to win the Ten Villages.”
Shizhai's sneak attack on Huziqi's village at night gave Huziqi a reason to attack Shizhai. Even if Li Dan was unwilling to let Bengang fall into the hands of Huziqi in the future, there would be nothing he could say.
Zheng Tie ordered: "The artillery team stopped firing, and the sword, shield and fire gun teams moved forward."
The order was given and the sound of artillery quickly disappeared.
The sword, shield and fire gunmen began to slowly advance towards the ten villages in front.
The walls of the Ten Villages were completely destroyed by artillery fire. People outside could easily see what was going on inside, and people inside could also see what was going on outside.
The tiger-character flag soldiers approached the tenth village and were quickly discovered by the people in the tenth village.
Yan Siqi, the head of the Ten Villages, died under the gunfire of the Tiger Flag. Now the Ten Villages can be said to be leaderless.
The armed men in the stockade were stationed near the stockade wall and suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of the tiger-character flag. On the contrary, the ordinary people who were brought to the island to farm by Yan Siqi were not injured because they were hiding inside the stockade. Or lose your life.
"What should we do? The people from the Tiger Flag have begun to attack." An archer asked his companions.
People who had survived the bombardment like him were all gathered together now.
These people are not the common people in Shizhai who only know how to farm, but the actual possessors of force in Shizhai.
"Here comes the horse head."
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
Everyone near the village wall turned around and looked inside the village.
They saw a strong man walking towards them.
"Horse head." An archer was the first to say hello, and soon he noticed that the person who came was holding a human head in his hand, and the blood on it was dripping on the ground.
The person who came was Maling, one of the leaders of the Ten Villages. He threw the head in his hand on the ground and said, "This is Wang Scar's head. I chopped it off."
The people around him looked at him with puzzled expressions, and some people looked at the head on the ground.
Many people didn't understand why Maling wanted to kill Wang Scar, but at this time, Shizhai was in disaster, and no one cared about why Wang Scar was killed.
"The people of the Tiger Character Banner have begun to attack our ten villages. Master Yan was killed by the Tiger Character Banner's cannon. Now among the ten villages, you, Ma Tou, have the highest status. We will listen to you about what to do next." One of the two remaining archers looked towards Maling.
"Yes, we all listen to Ma Tou."
"Ma Tou, tell us what to do next, and everyone will do it." Yiba
The people around them all spoke in favor of Maling commanding them.
Maling looked through the dilapidated village wall and glanced at the Tiger Flag soldiers advancing towards the Tenth Village, and suddenly said: "Since the brothers have decided to let me make the decision, I will say it bluntly. The manpower is no match for the Tiger Character Banner. Rather than risking one's life and losing one's life, it is better to leave the stronghold and surrender to save one's life."
After speaking, he looked at the people in front of him, and at the same time, the hand gripping the handle of the knife tightened.
"Even if we are willing to surrender, will the people of the Tiger Flag be willing to accept it? Will they settle accounts with us afterwards?" The archer asked about his worries. After all, they were the first to provoke the Tiger Flag.
If the people from Shizhai hadn't made a sneak attack on the Tiger Flag Village at night, the Tiger Flag would not have taken action against Shizhai.
Maling shrugged his nose, raised his hand and pointed outside the village, and said, "Besides surrendering, do you think we have any other choice? Do you think we can fight against the Tiger Flag?"
After hearing this, no one made a sound.
At this time, no one thought that Shizhai was the opponent of Tiger Character Banner. Facing the powerful force of Tiger Character Banner, Shizhai did not even have the ability to fight back.
Ma Ling glanced around at the people in front of him and said: "We don't have much time left. If we delay any longer, we won't even be qualified to surrender. From now on, those who are willing to surrender will throw away their hands." Hold your sword, raise your hands above your head, and follow me out of the village."
After saying that, he dropped the knife in his hand and walked towards the outside of the village.
There were not many good areas left in the village wall of Shizhai. He walked to the outside of the wall from the gap closest to him and raised his hands above his head.
At the same time, without stopping, he walked towards the person holding the tiger-shaped flag.
"I don't want to die yet, I am willing to surrender." A man said to the people around him, and then walked out of the village with his hands raised.
With those in front of us setting an example, more and more people began to choose to walk out of the village wall and surrender to the Tiger Flag.
However, there were still a few people who were unwilling to surrender and escaped from the other side of the stockade with weapons and fled towards the mountains and forests in the distance.
Without a boat, there is no way to escape Taiyuan Island. For those who escape, the only chance of survival is to enter the woods.
Soon, except for those who escaped from the Ten Villages, all the other armed members of the Ten Villages walked out of the village with their hands above their heads.
Zheng Tie noticed the situation of the people in Maling through the monocular telescope, turned his head and said to Yan Weixin: "You should also take a look, the people of Shizhai surrendered."
Yan Weixin took the monocular from Zheng Tie, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "It seems that Yan Siqi is indeed dead, otherwise Shizhai would not surrender so happily."
"We both think the same about this." Zheng Tie said with a smile, and then ordered the messenger beside him, "Let our people prepare to surrender."
"Yes." The messenger agreed and ran to deliver the order.
Zheng Tie did not explain the specific details of the surrender. He believed that the people below knew how to do it and how to avoid the sudden outbreak of people in Shizhai.
"Some people from the Ten Villages fled into the distant mountains and forests. Do you want to send someone to capture them?" Through the monocular telescope, Yan Weixin saw people from the Ten Villages fleeing into the mountains and forests.
Zheng Tie shook his head slightly and sneered: "The most indispensable thing in the mountains and forests is the indigenous people on the island. When Yan Siqi was here, people from Shizhai killed many of the indigenous people on the island. These people dared to escape into the mountains and forests and seek death. There’s no difference.”
"That's right. Damuan Island is different from the Ming Dynasty. There is no village to settle down. It is really not easy to survive on the island." Yan Weixin nodded in agreement.
The surrender of Shizhai went smoothly.
After Yan Siqi's death, Shizhai was destroyed, and Bengang completely fell into the hands of the Hu Ziqi family. They no longer had to share an excellent port like Bengang with others.
