"Musketeers come forward, three columns!" With the roar of the herald of the Eastern Navy, 10,000 musketeers quickly lined up in three columns with smoothbore guns. The 10,000 Eastern Navy musketeers stood quietly waiting for orders, watching the overwhelming Tarzan thieves swarm. There was no trace of fear or panic in the eyes of these Eastern Navy soldiers, but there was a slight look of contempt and ridicule.

"Raise your gun and aim! Three shots! Fire! "A war drum sounded, and the Eastern Navy began to fire! Rows of gunpowder smoke rose from the Eastern Naval array, and the first platoon of musketeers finished firing, the second platoon quickly reopened fire, and then the third platoon opened fire. The third platoon had finished firing, and the first platoon of musketeers had also finished reloading, and then stepped forward to continue firing. And so on and so forth, as if it never stopped.

The swarming Tarzan thieves were swept down in rows by the fierce fire like wheat harvesting. The sound of the muskets and the flames frightened the Tarzan thieves, who had just put down their farming tools and picked up their weapons, half to death. Many people began to run back, and some were shaking in the dirt.

"Bastard! Rush up to Lao Tzu! If you dare to run back, I'll cut off your heads! Rush up! Muskets are useless when they are close! Wang Zhun was angry, brandishing his sword and shouting.

As a result, the Eastern Navy still put a row of guns forward step by step, and the Tarzan thieves were still busy running backwards. It's out of control! Wang Zhun turned his heart sideways and shouted: "The Royal Forest Army stepped forward, and the cowardice will not be killed!" Those who won the head of the East China Sea Marquis of the Ming Dynasty will be crowned the king and rewarded with a state! ”

About 4,000 so-called Dalu Imperial Forest troops lined up in an array and began to kill the Tarzan thieves who had retreated and fled. These "Imperial Guards" are better equipped than ordinary Tarzan thieves, but they are also very limited. Most of them wore old cotton armor and were armed with large knives. These bandit-born "Imperial Forest Army" were also very unceremonious when they killed their own people, and their hands fell with knives, killing people's heads and blood flowing all over the ground.

The back road of the Taishan thief army was cut off, and under the stimulation of the king's heavy reward, he mustered up the courage to frantically attack the front of the Eastern Navy again. Although most of the Taishan thieves were farmers who had just put down their hoes, this did not prevent them from understanding the meaning of the word "king". They knew that as long as they cut off Xu Dong's head, they would be able to enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life. It's definitely worth your life! What's more, there is a "Royal Forest Army" carrying a big sword in the back!

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and 80,000 Taishan thieves rushed to the front of the Eastern Navy without their lives. And the musket alone could no longer suppress the onslaught of the Tarzan thieves. Because the Eastern Navy marched to Dengzhou in a hurry, the artillery could not keep up with the rhythm and all fell behind. So the battle was not supported by artillery.

"The musketeers stand back, the spearmen go forward! Defensive formations! Xu Dong saw that the two armies were about to meet each other, and ordered loudly.

10,000 musketeers quickly retreated, and 20,000 heavily armed spearmen quickly stepped forward. Rows of spears stretched out like hedgehogs, densely glowing with cold light.

Where could the Tarzan thieves who rushed forward stop their legs, and one by one they screamed and hit the tip of the spear, and were stabbed into a string of sugar gourds. The soldiers of the Eastern Navy shouted slogans, advanced step by step with spears, and left the corpses of Tarzan thieves in one place under the thorns of countless spears.

"Drums! The East China Sea Heavy Rider Strikes! Xu Dong flicked his cloak and shouted loudly.

Five thousand heavy cavalry began to ride their horses and slowly accelerated, which was the heavy cavalry of the East China Sea built by Xu Dong. These cavalrymen all wore double armor, with wire chain mail inside, steel chain mail on their coats, and goose swords in their hands. Even the war horses under the crotch are covered in heavy armor. These horses are all high-grade war horses purchased by Xu Dong from all over the country at a high price, and each of them is tall and strong, and he is extremely powerful!

On the battlefields of the Middle Ages, there was not an army that could hold back the heavy cavalry that was moving at speed. The Tarzan Thieves are no exception. Five thousand East China Sea heavy cavalry cut into the formation of the Taishan thief army from the flank, and cut off the Taishan thief army at the waist. Countless Tarzan thieves were trampled under the iron hooves and turned into a mass of flesh. The East China Sea Heavy Cavalry killed a pair in the enemy formation and rushed out from the other side. Before the Tarzan thieves could catch their breath, the heavy horsemen turned their horses' heads and rushed into the thief formation again, rushing the Tarzan thieves to pieces!

"Knife players forward, the whole army assaults!" Xu Dong calmly ordered. In the East China Navy, the military drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the flags were waved. 20,000 spearmen, 15,000 sword-brand soldiers, and even the 10,000 musketeers drew their swords. The East China Sea army began a counter-charge against the Taishan bandit army. And the Taishan thief army was in turmoil at this time, and their hearts and minds were broken. The East China Sea army in front was killed, and the five thousand East China Sea heavy cavalry in the middle were rushing left and right to smash the Taishan soldiers on their backs.

The result was inevitable, and a few minutes later, the Tarzan thief army began to rush. Even the defensive lines of those "Imperial Guards" in the rear were broken and scattered! Countless Taishan soldiers desperately fled to Dengzhou City.

"Stop! Stop! You death-scared thieves! Kill Lao Tzu back! Wang Zhun trembled with anger and roared hoarsely.

"Your Majesty! We are defeated, the Eastern Navy is too strong! Let's go back to Dengju City! If you don't leave, you really can't go! A soldier grabbed Wang Zhun's horse head and shouted.

"Alas! Return! Hold on to Dengzhou Mansion! Wang Zhun let out a long sigh, turned his horse and fled towards Dengzhou City.

Wang Zhun led 80,000 troops out of the city for 40 miles to meet Xu Dong this time, and these 40 miles of land have now become the Huangquan Road of 80,000 Taishan troops. A two-legged man can't outrun a four-legged horse. Most of the Taishan rout soldiers were surrounded by Xiao Man with 5,000 East China Sea heavy cavalry, and tens of thousands of thieves were surrounded. Panicked huddled together. Crying and screaming filled the mountains.

Most of these tens of thousands of Taishan troops even threw away their weapons, and now they are surrounded by the East China Sea Army. All of them were full of fear, and their faces were like ashes. They really want to surrender, but this is a great crime of rebellion, a rebellion. I want to fight to the death, but in the face of the powerful East China Sea army, I really can't muster the courage. Many people sat down on the ground and cried.

"Mother! I don't want to die, I just want to have something to eat......"

"Daddy, Xiu'er...... Woooooo ”

The cry shook the sky, and there was a sense of pathos. Suddenly, a horn sounded, and Xu Dong rode out of the military formation slowly.

"The Marquis of the East China Sea spares his life! I'm not afraid of death, but the old mother, wife and children at home can't bear to starve to death......" A thief crawled on his knees and cried.

"The Marquis of the East China Sea spares his life!" Tens of thousands of thieves knelt on the ground and pleaded.

Xu Dong snorted coldly and said, "Originally, it was the rank of the Taishan thieves under Wang Zhun."

The thieves looked at each other, and no one answered for a long time.

"I'll give you time to stick a stick of incense. When the time comes, no one will come out, and they will all be killed! Xu Dong said coldly. The East China Sea army all shouted, knocking the weapons in their hands on the ground, causing the thieves to tremble.

"You thieves! Hurry up and get out of here, don't hurt us! There was a stir among the thieves, and there was a burst of crying and fighting. About two thousand thieves were pushed out of the crowd.

Xu Dong waved his hand, and thousands of East China Sea soldiers rushed forward to tie up the two thousand thieves with ropes and dragged them to Xu Dong.

Xu Dong glanced at them coldly, and said coldly: "Serving thieves and plotting rebellion, the crime is unforgivable." All slashed! ”

"Obey the orders of the monarch and the marquis! Chop! The East China Sea soldiers standing beside those thieves all roared, pulled out their sabers with their backhands, and beheaded the thieves who were kneeling on the ground with one sword! More than 2,000 human heads fell to the ground in an instant.

When the tens of thousands of thieves who were surrounded saw this, they were in great confusion. Crying and shouting erupted, and the crowd surged.

"Shut up! Don't move! Xu Dongyun roared, and the sound of internal breath exploded like spring thunder. The frightened thieves were silent, and they were silent for a while.

Xu Dong jumped off the horse, paced between the heads of more than 2,000 people on the ground with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice: "Originally, you followed the rebel king to rebel against the imperial court, the crime is extremely heinous, and you should all be killed!" But how can Ben Hou be a soft-hearted person, who usually eats fasting and recites Buddha, and can't even bear to kill ants......"

When all the thieves heard this, they all felt tightness in their chests and panting, and they were angry in their hearts! What the are you going to do with that? Can we believe in your wickedness? But the situation forced him, and he could only flatter and say: "Yes, yes, yes!" Encountering the prince is really the creation of villains! The prince is kind-hearted, the bodhisattva is hearty, saves the suffering, and helps the world......"

Xu Dong listened to the nonsense of the thieves, nodded with satisfaction: "You just know this, don't go outside to publicize it in the future."

"How does this make! The villains will definitely set up an immortal tablet for the prince when they go back! Talking about the benevolence of the prince every day! The thieves shouted.

"Alas! You people, just mean it. Ben Hou is a low-key person. Alright, you lay down your weapons and help our army carry the baggage. Of course, he is in charge of food, and he is paid 30 yuan a day. When the battle is over, each person will be given 100 catties of grain to go home. Also, the imperial court has already transported grain from the Nanyang countries to Shandong, and is making every effort to provide disaster relief. Don't make trouble when you get home. Xu Dongdao.

Those thieves couldn't believe their ears! Take care of the food, get paid? Afterwards, put it home and send food? You said that! I said that Lao Tzu had surrendered earlier! For a moment, the thieves felt that they had suddenly come from hell to heaven. It's so exciting to get up and down in life......

Xu Dong counted the number of people, and there were more than 47,000 Taishan troops who surrendered. 22,000 heads were killed, and the Eastern Navy suffered 95 casualties. Two of them were killed and ninety-three wounded. One of the two people who died in the battle was still a heavy rider in the East China Sea, and because he was too excited, he fell off his horse and was trampled to death by the horse behind him......

Dengzhou City, the towering city wall now looks a little deserted. Wang Zhun led an army of 80,000 out, and came back with less than 500 men...... Coupled with the defenders left in the city, there were less than 4,000 Taishan thieves in Dengzhou City at this time.

"Heaven is dead!" After Wang Zhun returned to the city, he screamed and passed out. Left and right hurriedly carried Wang Zhun into the "Imperial Palace", the original Dengzhou Mansion.

At dusk, the East China Sea army surrounded Dengzhou City. However, Xu Dong did not order the siege of the city. Because Xu Dong thought that it was too extravagant to waste the precious lives of the soldiers of the Eastern Navy in siege warfare. Anyway, the artillery troops will arrive after dawn, and when the time comes, the city wall will be directly collapsed. As for the future renovation of the ruined city, it is a matter of Shandong's political envoy, and it has nothing to do with Xu Dong.

In the East Navy camp outside Dengzhou City, the commander of the Chinese army tent. Xu Dong shouted, "Bring Han Hu up."

"Take Han Hu!" The order was carried out promptly. Not long after, Han Hu, who was tied up like a dumpling, was led up by several soldiers.
