"Xu Xinsu, aren't you from a pirate? I can't stand it. Xu Chengming asked.

"My lord, I am indeed a pirate, but I am a merchant among pirates, that is, a tooth man among pirates." Xu Xin explained weakly.

"I've heard you're the biggest slave trader in the Empire." Xu Chengming said with disdain.

Xu Xinsu's reputation in the empire is not good, and he is often attacked, if it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's secret protection, he would have died many times. What's more, he was originally a pirate, and he didn't think it was a hurtful thing to deal with slaves, but he himself thought that he was doing good deeds, and he was also making money every day. But he also knows his situation, so now he even arranges for his family to go to Dongying.

"My lord, you are mistaken, I am doing a good deed, do you know how many men in the empire can't marry a wife? You must not know, as far as I know, there are three adults in Fujian alone who can't marry wives, these people can't all wait for His Majesty to send wives, not to mention that most of the military rations for this southern expedition are provided by our merchants, and even now not a penny has been confiscated. Xu Xinsu quibbled.

"If it weren't for Your Majesty's order, I would never have let you step into the barracks." Xu Chengming said coldly.

"If the adults don't want to see the villain, the villain will disappear immediately, but you have to protect the villain's goods, the villain heard that this expedition, His Majesty did not allocate many silver dollars out, maybe the army's pensions and rewards will come out of these goods." Xu Xinsu said with a hippie smile.

"Get out of here, after the army wins, there won't be a penny less for you, but I won't let you take advantage of an extra penny." Xu Chengming said.

"Thank you, sir! Businessmen naturally have to settle accounts clearly and settle accounts clearly. Xu Xinsu said disapprehantly, "The villain has retired." ”

……

It is impossible for Xu Chengming to really drive Xu Xinsu away, and Xu Chengming also understands that the treasury is still unable to make ends meet, in order to prepare for the Northern Expedition, this southern expedition to the east, the imperial court only allocated the military rations needed in the early stage of this war, and the military rations required in the middle and late stages will all be provided by the army's merchants in the empire, after winning this battle, the spoils will be used to offset the account, and Zhu Youxiao even wants to include the pension of the casualties from here.

There were a total of nine merchants with the army in this war, except for Xu Xinsu who came in person, the rest were sent to the representatives, each family needed different, only Xu Xinsu needed a female slave, this was the first time he and the imperial court cooperated in business, and the Donghu Dynasty had a population of about two or three million, and the number of women was huge, which made the quality of the population uneven, which also required Xu Xinsu to personally check it, he didn't want the imperial court to abuse the number, and just give him a batch of female slaves.

Just when Xu Xinsu left the barracks, the East Allied Army had already launched its fourth attack, and at this time, more than seventy percent of the tiger squat artillery had already replaced solid bullets with scattered bullets. At this time, the artillery also adopted the method of three-stage artillery bombardment, with one round of ten tiger squat guns, but even if the ten tiger squat guns fired at the same time, it was really overwhelming all small iron.

The Tiger Squat Cannon was mixed with other artillery, and it was hard to block the East Allied forces at a distance of 300 meters. Three hundred meters away, lying on the ground, most of them were not corpses, but soldiers who had been injured by the iron of the tiger squatting cannon.

The Donoo and the Portuguese had never encountered such heavy artillery fire when they were fighting, and they had never seen such a "large-scale" weapon of destruction. The Allied forces in East Afghanistan again decided to withdraw their troops.

At this time, Ma Xianglin knew that this might be the last attack of the East Allied forces, and he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, no one is allowed to shoot without the order of the general!" ”

"No."

"Prepare to attack!" Ma Xianglin prepared to cover the kill, and used the rout of the East Afghan Allied Army to attack the large array of the East Allied Army.

Just as the Eastern Allied forces were retreating, the dragoons led by Ma Xianglin suddenly rushed out from the rear of the infantry. The infantry was no match for the cavalry in the first place, let alone the retreating infantry. The tens of thousands of infantry of the Eastern Allied Army originally retreated in an orderly manner, but after being attacked by the dragoons, they immediately became a mess. Driven by the dragoons, they desperately fled to their own line.

Seeing the friendly troops rushing wildly, the Eastern Allied Army was stunned for a moment, and Bodao shouted loudly when he saw this: "Release the arrows, hurry up and release the arrows, you must not let them rush in, let them run to both sides of the big array." ”

The rain of arrows in the sky shot towards the rout of the Eastern Allied Army, and in an instant, countless rout soldiers were shot by themselves, and the rout soldiers in the frenzy involuntarily slowed down their pace and began to prepare to bypass the large array and flee to the rear. However, the dragoons who followed did not give them a chance at all, and any rout who tried to bypass the large formation was shot to death by Ma Xianglin's dragoons.

"Anyone who cooperates with the imperial army to kill the Donghu thieves will be exempted from death and rewarded with ten taels of silver." At this time, someone among the dragoons began to shout. Many of the soldiers on this expedition were ethnic minorities, and many of them also understood the language of Donghu.

The routers, driven by the dragoons, had to rush to the formation of the Allied forces in the East again. Most of the tens of thousands of routed troops had already been killed or wounded when they rushed to the front of the Eastern Allied army, but the dragoons were able to charge at this distance.

"Rush ......" Ma Xianglin's spear pointed hard and shouted loudly.

The dragoons launched a charge, and Ma Xianglin, with a white horse and silver armor, held a spear, just like Zhao Zilong of Changbanpo back then, he took the lead and broke into the enemy's lineup like a cavalryman's arrow.

Ma Xianglin is brave and good at fighting, his force value can be ranked in the entire Ming Dynasty, this battle is a battle in which his force value is exerted to the extreme, the entire East Allied Army has no enemy with him, and his gun is like a dragon devouring the life of the enemy. And the 10,000 dragoons he led were like an arrow off the string to the Chinese general of the Eastern Allied Army.

The front army of the East Afghan Allied Army has already become a mess due to cannibalism, although the number of defeated troops is small, but they have no way to retreat at all, the Ming army wins and they still have a glimmer of life, if the East Allied Army wins, they will definitely die, so they broke out with unprecedented combat power.

Seeing that Ma Xianglin was about to peck through the entire army, Bodao was also frightened by Ma Xianglin at this moment. The 20,000 infantry who were responsible for receiving the dragoons also rushed into the enemy camp at this time. Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of Arakan did not even say hello to Bodao, and withdrew first.

"General, withdraw! The Arakanese have fled. Bodao's pro-soldier said.

"Withdraw!" Bo Daoyi gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.
