On the banks of a tributary creek in the middle reaches of the Dnieper, a group of soldiers in ragged white villagers marched forward in a long line of snakes.

Kaspersky, who was following Hong Tiancheng, kept glancing at the Taiping soldiers with a calm face, 50 more living people is not a small number, Kaspersky is undoubtedly the white native who knows Hong Tiancheng's original strength best, looting a village of no more than 100 people, this Tatar army miraculously has 50 more companions with similar clothes and weapons, how can Kaspersky be indifferent to this phenomenon?

However, out of fear of Hong Tiancheng, Kaspersky did not dare to ask any questions, so he could only bury the doubts and shocks in his heart deeply, and did his best to do his job as a guide.

In fact, Hong Tiancheng was quite satisfied with Kaspersky's cooperation, not only did he work hard as a guide to practice his 'compatriots', but even personally drew a simple topographic map of the area on the parchment he collected, and the official road routes and villages and towns on the surface were reflected on it.

It can be said that Kaspersky has overfulfilled the task given to him by Hong Tian, but unfortunately, Hong Tiancheng still decided to send him and his family to see God a few days later, for no other reason, just because he had seen the unscientific expansion of the Taiping Army throughout the whole process, and he knew too much!

In this way, with the cooperation of Kaspersky, Hong Tiancheng led people to 'rape and plunder' four villages in less than a week, and all the white villages that were attacked could not see young and strong men, so naturally they could not make the slightest resistance.

Hong Tiancheng easily reaped a full 200 sin points, leaving ashes all over the ground like locusts, and coercing a large number of white villagers to serve as coolies and Taiping soldiers' pastimes.

Hong Tiancheng's army was expanded to 290 new soldiers and 33 veteran soldiers of the Taiping Army, the only regret was that because there was no real battle, personal prestige and weapon gains were about zero......

Hong Tiancheng's reckless plundering and burning completely angered the marauders and bandit gangs in this region, which became a 'three-regardless' region due to the war between the Ukrainian Cossack rebel army led by Khmelnitsky and the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, but it does not mean that there are no men in this region who dare to fight!

In particular, Hong Tiancheng's sudden 'arrival' and wanton 'black eating black' behavior in the hinterland of the lair of white marauders and bandit gangs successfully aroused public anger.

As Hong Tiancheng led more than 300 people to his next target, he was finally blocked in an open area by an armed gang of marauders and bandits composed of angry local white youths.

Although the sharp increase in the number of Hong Tiancheng's men was a bit unexpected by these white marauders and bandits, they had gathered more than ninety percent of the men in this area who took up arms, and there were more than 500 people, including nearly 100 homemade arquebuses and more than 50 cavalry.

Even though these white bandit raiders are not affiliated with each other, they can still be consistent in the face of a common enemy.

When Hong Tiancheng enjoyed the happiness of skyrocketing strength, he also successfully pulled a lot of hatred......

Hong Tiancheng faced an armed gang of more than 500 white bandits who were clamoring head-on, and for the first time resorted to a psychological offensive.

He told Kaspersky to go to his fellow villagers with an earthen tin 'megaphone' and shout that Hong Tiancheng and his gang were willing to release all the white villagers they had been held captive and return them to their relatives, so that they would avoid fighting, let them leave the area safely, and promise never to set foot here again.

Well, Hong Tiancheng doesn't care about this called showing weakness to the enemy and breaking the enemy's will to fight......

Kaspersky did not dare to disobey at all because his family was holding it in Hong Tiancheng's hands, and he was also accustomed to obedience, and conveyed Hong Tiancheng's meaning word for word to the more than 500 loose marauder gangs on the opposite side.

Kaspersky did not discuss with the ruthless bandit leader, but shouted at everyone with an iron horn that Hong Tiancheng had detained white villagers in entire 5 villages, more than 300 people, and more than half of the fighters in the white bandit gang of more than 500 people had relatives in Hong Tiancheng's hands, which is also the reason why they actively responded to the encirclement and suppression of Hong Tiancheng, a powerful 'Tatar army'.

The leaders of this group of white bandits are not commanders in the army, they have absolute rights, they have to rely on their younger brothers to fight, so naturally they dare not disobey the wishes of the majority of the people, and openly reject Hong Tiancheng's proposal.

And after Hong Tiancheng got the news that the white bandit gang on the opposite side had a riot, he ordered a large number of Taiping soldiers to escort the white villagers to the blank space in the center of the confrontation between the two sides, and Kaspersky shouted vigorously that they needed to come out to claim their relatives and bring them back, otherwise Hong Tiancheng would order to kill all the white villagers!

At first, the white bandits were armed under the pressure of the leader's bullets, and they could barely guarantee that they would not go out without permission, but after Hong Tiancheng's Taiping soldiers and soldiers picked out 10 white villagers in public to be beheaded, those white bandits who stayed in the queue could no longer hold back.

They would rather believe in the Tatars' promises than watch their loved ones die in public because of their hesitation!

However, when the leader of this group of white bandits was unable to suppress the bullets, and a large number of armed young men who wanted to save their relatives as soon as possible stepped forward, the Taiping sergeants used weapons to warn the white villagers that the white bandits should not bring weapons to lead people, the reason was to avoid 'misunderstanding'.

When the white bandits heard this, they were in an uproar and shouted angrily, but many of them still didn't care too much, threw away the weapons in their hands and rushed up with their bare hands and hugged their relatives......

Hong Tiancheng rode on the traveling horse and watched with a smile as the white bandit army of more than 500 people scattered into several piles.

Just a few useless baits in his eyes, plus a few shouts, made the white bandit armed gang on the opposite side completely lose its cohesion and basic array!

Immediately, Hong Tiancheng issued a combat order to the heralds: "Herald, the whole army will assault, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”

Under Hong Tiancheng's order, a rapid Taiping army horn suddenly sounded, and the Taiping soldiers who escorted the white villagers decisively stabbed their spears at the white young men who threw down their weapons, and the Taiping soldiers in the rear shouted that they lined up in a strict military formation and killed the white bandits who were in a mess!
