The reason why Sun Youming still had the strength to kick people was entirely because there were soldiers dragging him on the way to escape, and there were soldiers holding him up when he was almost unable to run.
In addition, his physical fitness was not bad to begin with. Although he did not have much strength now, he was slightly stronger than his personal servants.
"Captain, they can't run anymore!"
A Tiger Flag soldier chasing behind said to the squadron leader next to him with a slightly excited tone.
The squadron leader of the Tiger-Character Banner noticed this scene and immediately ordered: "Quick, catch up, don't let them escape."
As the words fell, the Tiger Flag soldier, who was also very tired, sped up his legs and quickly caught up with Sun Youming and others. Sun Youming, who was trying to escape when he saw the situation was not good, severely hit him with a gun butt. Beat it on the ground.
"Damn it, you guys are really good at running. You almost didn't catch up." The squadron leader panted, "Who is the guard of Shicheng Island? Stand up and save everyone some trouble."
No one said anything.
The squadron leader, who didn't wait for a response, looked at the people on the ground and said, "I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Is it worth sacrificing your life for an outsider?"
Still no words.
"Pull this naked man down and kill him." Sun Youming, the captain of the squadron, was knocked to the ground by the butt of his gun with one finger.
Two soldiers came up and reached out to catch Sun Youming.
At this moment, Sun Youming subconsciously stepped back, while the person next to him blocked forward.
"Hey, I guessed it was you, old boy, so tie up all these people." The squadron leader who noticed these little moves smiled proudly.
The two soldiers who originally went to capture Sun Youming tied their hands with ropes instead.
Sun Youming's personal soldiers and servants were also treated in the same way. Their hands were tied and they could not resist, leaving only two feet for walking.
"Take them back." The squadron leader waved his hand and led everyone back.
Two thousand-man soldiers came to the island, and there were also many soldiers who chased the defeated army. The last big fish was caught by one of his squadron leaders, and he deserved meritorious service.
All the way back, he grinned happily.
Sun Youming and his party were quickly escorted back outside the military newspaper.
At this time, most of the soldiers had basically returned, and some others went to appease the people on the island.
"Yingzheng, my subordinates have captured the Shicheng Island guard!" From a distance, the captain of the squadron escorting Sun Youming back shouted loudly, for fear that others would not hear.
Sure enough, his voice attracted the attention of many people.
The captain of the soldiers walked a few steps quickly and came to Zhao Wu. He bowed first and then said: "Yingzheng, my subordinates have fulfilled their mission and captured Shicheng Island to defend the city. This is him."
As he spoke, he turned around and pointed at Sun Youming, who was being escorted over.
Zhao Wu looked in the direction of his finger.
"Bring this person here." Zhao Wu said, and then said to the squadron leader who reported back, "If we really catch Sun Youming, I will credit you with a meritorious service."
"Hey, thank you so much, Yingzheng." The captain of the squadron saluted again, then turned around and came over with his subordinate Sun Youming.
Soon, Sun Youming was brought forward.
Zhao Wu looked Sun Youming up and down. He didn't recognize him, so he asked directly: "Are you Sun Youming, the guard of Shicheng Island?"
Many officers and soldiers were arrested, and Sun Youming's name had been found out a long time ago.
"Hmph, don't think that you will take over Shicheng Island if you catch me. The victory is not over yet!" Sun Youming snorted disdainfully.
Although he was caught, he still had great confidence in the surprise force he sent.
After hearing this, Zhao Wu smiled and said: "Looking at what you said, what kind of backup plan do you have left? You might as well tell me and let me listen."
Sun Youming glanced at the sea and thought that the surprise troops he sent had already arrived at the sea. The tiger thieves on the island could not stop them even if they wanted to, so he said: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I have already sent a troop to attack you." Ship at sea.”
"I know." Zhao Wu said calmly.
However, Sun Youming didn't believe it at all when he heard this, and said: "If you knew, you would have stopped it long ago, so don't lie to me."
He didn't believe Zhao Wu's words at all.
"The sea is so open. You would think that if you send a team of soldiers and horses out to sea in a small boat, no one will be able to see it. When your people reach the sea, my people have already discovered it." Zhao Wu chuckled.
Sun Youming felt that the other party didn't seem to be telling lies anymore, so he frowned subconsciously and said, "Since you know, why don't you stop me?"
"Why should I stop him?" Zhao Wu asked back.
Sun Youming said in confusion: "If you find someone attacking your ship at sea, you should intercept it. Aren't you worried about the safety of ships at sea?"
"Don't worry." Zhao Wu said with a smile, "You must be curious why I am not worried. It doesn't matter. Just stand here and watch. You will understand in a while."
After hearing this, Sun Youming became more and more puzzled.
I couldn't figure out what the other party meant, so I had to do what the other party said and look towards the sea.
"Wang Ju, give him your monocular telescope." Zhao Wu said to the captain of the thousand-man team next to him.
When the captain of the Thousand-Man Team heard this, his face darkened and he replied: "Ying Zheng, you have one too, why did you lend him my monocular telescope?"
Although he was dissatisfied, he still handed the monocular telescope on his waist to Sun Youming.
"Is this a telescope?" Sun Youming took the monocular telescope with his hand.
Although his hands were tied with ropes, he still had no problem picking up things or raising his hands.
Hearing this, Zhao Wu looked at Sun Youming in surprise and said, "There are similar things like this in the Ming army. Have you never seen it?"
"I've heard of it before, but in Dongjiang Town only General Mao and Deputy General Chen have it. No one else is qualified to own this thing." Sun Youming looked at the monocular telescope in his hand and said with envy.
Although Dongjiang Town was heavily relied upon by the imperial court, that was because the imperial court needed Dongjiang Town to contain the counterfeit gold. However, most of the large amounts of money and food supplies sent from the pass ended up in Shanhaiguan and Ningjin, and Dongjiang Town did not get much at all. thing.
Only by following Mao Wenlong did he have the opportunity to be promoted to defend the city of Shicheng Island. His official position was promoted quickly, but he was not qualified to own a weapon like a telescope unless he spent a large sum of money to buy it from Guan Ning's army. .
But for such a small thing, he was reluctant to spend this money. Even most of the generals in Dongjiang Town were reluctant to part with him.
After all, they are only guarding the island, and it is difficult for the army of slave thieves to threaten them, so it is not very useful whether they have a telescope or not.
"Take it and look at the sea. You can see the few boats you sent out from the island." Zhao Wu motioned to Sun Youming to look at the sea with the monocular telescope in his hand.
