When Ma Dingyuan heard that Ye Feiyu was going to form a 3,000 elite musket team, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately sent messengers to various counties to dispatch troops back.

Although there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Dengzhou and Laizhou, there are not many active troops, and there are only more than 1,000 musket teams, 300 guarding Mingwei Fort, and the other 1,000 are controlled by Zhang Wencheng's 500 households.

The arrival of the 100,000 army of the Ming Dynasty made Ma Dingyuan a little worried, after all, the artillery unit of the Ming Dynasty was not weak, and a bombardment might be able to defeat these recruits in Mingwei Fort.

The territory of the two provinces is vast, and it is still a bit small for 1,300 musketeers to defend such a large place.

Now that Ye Feiyu has increased the size of the musketeers by more than two or three times at once, Ma Dingyuan's confidence has risen, if there are so many musketeers, the 100,000 army of the Ming Dynasty is not a matter of worry.

Although there were not many musketeers in the original, some of the elite troops had practiced rifles, and as long as the guns were issued to them, they were a musket team that could go to the battlefield, directly confronting the 100,000 troops of the imperial court, and there was no need to train them slowly.

Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, was ordered to supervise the chief military officer Jin Guoqi and others to lead 100,000 troops to quell the rebellion, which was one-third more than the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in history.

The eunuch led by Wang Chengen was killed by Zhang Wencheng, Chongzhen was furious, coupled with the promotion of officials from the two prefectures in Beijing, and the rumors of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Dengzhou and Laizhou made Emperor Chongzhen dare not take it lightly, so he sent additional men and horses to annihilate the soldiers and horses of the golden wolf demon in one fell swoop.

What the imperial court is most afraid of now is that the war situation will stalemate, which will drag the entire Ming Dynasty into the quagmire of war, making it even more difficult for the crumbling Ming to support.

Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, is still a little capable, in the history of the earth plane. Kong Youde's troops were defeated by him, and they almost killed Kong Youde. Now the object of the rebellion has been replaced by a golden wolf demon who has never heard of it, but it makes Zhu Dadian a little worried.

He heard about the Golden Wolf Demon Man. It can change grain and relieve the people, and it has a very high reputation in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and countless displaced people are attached to it, so I am afraid it is not easy to deal with.

really let Zhu Dadian choose, he would rather fight against him than Kong Youde, a general who knows the roots, rather than this mysterious golden wolf demon. Although Daming sent many spies to Dengzhou and Laizhou to inquire about the origin of the golden wolf demon, no news came out. It's weird.

The news that came back made Zhu Dadian, the governor, suspicious, legend has it that those terrifying firearms turned out to be the gods of the Heavenly Palace, and the people in Laizhou, Dengzhou, all of them said that they had noses and eyes, but Zhu Dadian didn't believe it, this news only dared to circulate in the ears of Jin Guoqi, Wang Zhifu and others, and they didn't dare to let the soldiers below know.

These generals are suspicious, not to mention those soldiers, if they know that the other party has such a magic method. I am afraid that the army will be disheartened and defeated without a fight.

"Everyone, there is still half a day to go to Weixian County, Laizhou, how should this battle be fought?"

He looked at the generals with blazing eyes.

Jin Guoqi's face has always been gloomy and indifferent. At this time, he said in a cold voice: "Lord Zhu, the last general has two plans here to break the Denglai army!" ”

Zhu Dadian nodded and said, "Mr. Jin, please speak!" ”

When Jin Guoqi spoke, the scar on his face twitched. It looks extremely fierce: "That golden wolf demon forcibly seized the grain merchants of Denglai and the two prefectures to deceive the people. We only need to garrison Qingzhou Mansion, and this person's food and grass will not be able to support it for long. After a long time, the food in the two provinces was insufficient, and the enemy soldiers naturally defeated themselves without a fight! ”

Zhu Dadian shook his head: "Although this plan is wonderful, it is impossible for the official family to let us stay in Qingzhou Mansion for a long time, our 100,000 troops are extremely consumed, and the military salary is insufficient." ”

Jin Guoqi sighed secretly: "Since this is the case, then you can only use the second plan." ”

"There are many military households in the two prefectures of Denglai, but these military households basically have no military training, as long as their main force is defeated in a battle, the others will naturally lose their fighting spirit and flee."

He pointed to a fine map spread out in front of everyone, and then said: "Our army of 100,000 can be divided into three routes, all the way from Weixian to the front, go to Changyi, and capture Pingdu; all the way to Laizhou Ye County; All the way from Gaomi to capture Jiaozhou. ”

"Take the two armies of Pingdu and Jiaozhou, you can gather the army in the Xiaogu River, take Jimo directly, and level the lair of the golden wolf demon. The Yexian army, recruited as far as Laiyang, the three armies met in Laiyang, and the fastest eradication of the soldiers and horses of the golden wolf demon. ”

Zhu Dadian looked at the map, and then nodded slightly: "It's according to the plan of General Jin's army." Storming the army of Weixian, the governor will personally supervise the battle, and the general army of Jin can directly take Ye County, but this army of Jiaozhou all the way, who is suitable for the general army of Jin? ”

Jin Guoqi said without hesitation: "Wang Zhifu will be competent!" ”

The counterinsurgency forces agreed on a strategy and then led their own troops.

Dengzhou is the base of the Ming Dynasty to manufacture new artillery and train artillery, there are nearly 100 Portuguese and other foreign gunners and craftsmen, as well as a large number of trained artillery, which was originally obtained by Kong Youde, but after Kong Youde was killed by Ye Feiyu, these artillery craftsmen fell into the hands of Ye Feiyu.

Zhu Dadian and others were afraid of the power of artillery, and in order to fight against the artillery units in Dengzhou, they pulled a lot of heavy artillery over this time, and the speed was much slower, and the lack of food and salaries made the soldiers not have a high fighting spirit, so the 40,000 troops stopped and stopped, and dragged on for another day before they arrived outside Weixian.

What Zhu Dadian didn't expect was that the spies reported that the other party displayed soldiers and horses on the bank of the Dawei River, and it seemed that they wanted to fight the rebel army head-on on the Dada River.

Zhu Dadian couldn't figure out how the army composed of these homeless people had the confidence to dare to confront the imperial army with tens of thousands of soldiers and armor and dozens of cannons!

But this is the best, Zhu Dadian is afraid that the soldiers and horses of the golden wolf demon will break the dam and flee in all directions, which will not only prolong the time to recover the two provinces of Denglai, but also cause greater damage to the already devastated two provinces of Denglai.

If this is the case, even if the two provinces of Denglai are recovered, no matter how to appease the refugees here, Chongzhen can be hurt to the head, and he can't watch them starve to death, in this way, without the golden wolf demon, there will also be a black dog demon and a toad demon.

The armies of both sides were extremely confident in their own combat strength, and the battle suddenly began as expected.

Ye Feiyu chose to face the imperial army here, firstly, because he was afraid that he would defeat the other party and cause trouble to Laizhou Mansion, and secondly, he also let the people of Qingzhou Mansion know that the armies of Denglai and Laizhou Mansion were powerful, if it was possible, Ye Feiyu would not mind taking Qingzhou Mansion into his pocket.

There were only more than 3,000 people in Mingwei Fort led by Ye Feiyu, and the other 20,000 regular troops all went to meet the other two imperial court armies and prevent them from entering the territory of Laizhou Mansion, which could be regarded as keeping the enemy out of the country. His 3,000 soldiers and horses and Zhu Dadian's 40,000 troops are more than ten times different.

The loud bang sounded in the ranks of the Ming army, the cannonballs fell on the river, stirring up a splash in the sky, Zhu Dadian didn't expect that the other party actually didn't return the shelling, but more than a dozen strange giants suddenly appeared in the team, boxy, it looks like they are all made of steel, and there are round wheels rolling under them, slowly coming towards the Ming army.

Behind each of these strange iron chariots were two or three hundred soldiers armed with muskets, and the other side launched an attack on the 40,000 imperial army with less than a tenth of the troops.

Zhu Dadian saw that his generals and soldiers were all shocked, and he couldn't help but snort coldly: "It's just a trick!" Which general led his troops to break the magic of this golden wolf demon, this official will play the Son of Heaven and ask for credit for you! ”

A group of generals, you look at me, such a steel monster is really beyond their expectations, at a glance, they know that it is extremely heavy, and there are no cattle and horses to drag it, how can it move?

Even if it's really witchcraft, you have to have the ability to break the other party's witchcraft.

Originally, they planned to use artillery fire to bombard the other party's demonic arts, but at this time, a six-pound cannon hit the steel monster, and with a loud bang, a hole appeared in the baffle in front of the steel monster, and the solid iron ball that could easily kill more than a dozen people could not penetrate the outer layer of the monster, even Zhu Dadian opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say.

They have more powerful red-coated cannons, the problem is that these cannons are fixed turrets, extremely difficult to aim, and it is impossible to use them to attack moving targets, that is, six-pounder cannons, which are already great luck to hit the opponent, and the less powerful tiger squat cannons, stone cannons, etc., are even less likely to cause any damage to the opponent.

The trolley invented by the Ming army before, put the mud on it, can resist the power of the shells, to avoid the shells from hurting people, it can be seen that the power of these primitive shells, it is impossible to compare with modern artillery, Ye Feiyu's batch of modified trucks, the front baffle is made of high-strength alloy steel plates, which are used to prevent shoulder-fired missiles, rocket artillery, etc., and will naturally not be penetrated by these primitive artillery.

It's a pity, even if Ye Feiyu personally taught these soldiers to drive, and even took out a laptop computer to let these selected, relatively intelligent soldiers watch the video to learn to drive, only dozens of people barely mastered the method of driving, like a snail who drives slowly, even if a young man on the earth learns from the coach for a day, it is ten times better than them.

Seeing these strange giants who were not even afraid of iron cannons, Zhu Dadian's face couldn't help but become gloomy, and his eyes swept over the dozen generals under the banner.

In the end, Deputy Chief Soldier Cao Huawu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhu, the last general is willing to lead three thousand cavalry to break the magic of the Golden Wolf Demon!" ”

Those huge monsters can't be killed, but Cao Huawu doesn't believe that the rebels who are following the car are as invulnerable as monsters! The Maitreya Buddha and other followers of the White Lotus Sect did not say that they were invulnerable, Cao Huawu eradicated a branch altar of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and when he killed those cultists, he was all stabbed one by one, but there was no such thing as invulnerability.

Zhu Dadian saw that Cao Huawu took the initiative to ask for battle, nodded slightly, he was also more confident in this general from the Cao family, so he nodded and said: "Our cavalry training is not easy, we will hand it over to General Cao today, and when the rebels are defeated, the governor will ask General Cao for credit!"
