Chapter 0656: The Dust Has Settled

Roar, roar, roar! ……”

At this time, on the Taihu Lake, a flash of fire suddenly appeared, which became bigger and bigger, more and more clear, accompanied by the roar of the soldiers, and suddenly resounded throughout the dome.

Du Zhi looked around, only saw the line of Taihu Lake, and he didn't know when hundreds of warships appeared. This kind of warship was connected together, a large area of black pressure, like a deep-water beast, rushing towards the lake with an extreme sense of oppression.

On top of the warship, one after another fiery red Wei army flags were waved in the wind. On the deck, several Wei soldiers in a queue stood with guns in hand, looking ahead, their faces solemn, like terracotta warriors and horses one after another!

If they don't move, they just move like a rabbit!

And in the center of these warships, Wang Ping, the naval governor of Wei, stood on the deck at the forefront with his sword, and saw that the rebels had united with the water thieves and had surrounded the camp where the emperor was, and immediately said angrily: "Fire me cannons!" Kill them! ”

The gunner who received the order immediately loaded the cannonball into the red-coat cannon, prepared it, and waited until the standard-bearer waved it, and immediately lit the fuse, and a thousand cannons fired in unison!

"Boom! ……”

The cannon roared from the sky, and it fell directly on the heads of the thieves on the lake from the warship, and some of the shells hit their warship.

The warship hit by the cannonball suddenly burst open like an eggshell, and the wooden ship suddenly burst into flames, drifting into the distance with billowing smoke.

As for the water thieves who were hit by the artillery, they were even more frightened and fled in all directions.

"Ahh ......The power of the artillery is undoubted, and the people they hit were directly left with no bones left, and their entire bodies were shattered.

The rich smell of blood wafted through the air.

In an instant, the water thieves were in disarray, ignoring the shouts of their respective leaders and their orders. The water thieves all acted according to their instincts, scurrying around like frightened fawns, but in a hurry, in this dark night when they couldn't see their fingers, they had a stampede accident, and many of their companions were trampled to death at once.

Of course, in order to escape, there are some extremely vicious water thieves who don't think about any love for their robes or their peers, and even kill them directly if they stand in front of them!

This is really a mountain of defeat.

Suddenly encountered this situation, Du Zhi was also frightened.

Zhao Sheng, who was following on the side, hurriedly took his hand and said, "King, let's run away quickly!" The Wei army is coming! ”

"Run? Where can we escape? ”

Zhao Sheng looked around and saw that almost all of his warships were hit by cannonballs and turned into a sea of fire. It is no longer feasible to escape by water, not to mention that the sailors of the Wei army are lying on Taihu Lake, and rushing over at this time is undoubtedly self-defeating.

By Road?

Zhao Sheng just wanted to make this suggestion, when he suddenly heard an overwhelming shouting of killing from the rear, this was not the shouting of the rebels, but the Wei army from farther away!

It's over, I've made dumplings now!

Ma Qiu had already led 50,000 Wei troops to attack and kill from the rear of the rebels, and after hiding for so long, he had already held a breath in his heart, so the moment he saw the rebels and water thieves besieging the emperor's camp, he immediately rushed out with the army.

Seeing that his soldiers were constantly being killed, and the Wei army was getting closer and closer, Zhu Tao was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold for a while, and his face was like earth: "What...... How so? ”

Zhu Xuan, who was beside him, hurriedly said: "Family master, we are defeated!" Hurry up and escape! ”

"Run? Where can we escape? Zhu Tao said with a wry smile: "The world is big, and it is all Wei soil. Every inch of land belongs to him, and he won't let me go! ”

"Let's go overseas."

Zhu Tao shook his head and said: "Even if I, Zhu Tao, want to die, I will die on the land of Huaxia, and the leaves will return to my roots." ”

Suddenly, Zhu Tao seemed to have figured out everything, and laughed for a while, laughing so much that tears came out.

"Wujun Zhu, it's over. What face does my Zhu Tao have to meet the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs? ”

After saying this, Zhu Tao directly wiped his neck and committed suicide.

When he died, his body twitched, and even Zhu Xuan next to him didn't react. As soon as Zhu Tao died, the rebels' resistance was settled, and almost all the rebels present laid down their arms and surrendered on the spot.

Some of the rebels were also killed in the shortest possible time.

And the water thieves were originally under the shelling of the Wei naval division, and then the Wei soldiers on the warship rushed down again, slashing and killing the water thieves running around like a tiger entering a flock.

Although Du Zhi tried to summon some of the more brave water thieves to continue to fight, it didn't take long for them to be directly crushed, and then more Wei soldiers suddenly came in, and all the water thieves suddenly collapsed.

The water thieves died, those who fled, those who surrendered, and even those who tried to resist were punished on the spot.

Generally speaking, after the water thieves are caught, as long as they are not big bosses and do not do anything that is indignant to everyone and gods, they will not be executed. Therefore, the water thieves chose to abandon their weapons and surrender as soon as they were defeated.

At this time, Ma Qiu also led the Wei army to rush into the ranks of the water thieves.

Du Zhi led the last remaining more than 300 loyal and brave water thieves to continue the fight.

Du Zhi is very brave, he holds a nine-ring steel knife in his hand, rushing left and right, as if entering a no-man's land, there is no enemy under his hand at all. More and more Wei soldiers died under his hands, and Du Zhi was still impacting, still impacting, he was like a tireless killing machine, killing enemies in all directions.

But he didn't notice at all that there were fewer and fewer partners around him, and in the end, there were less than 100 people left.

Seeing Du Zhi so violent, Ran Min, who had been watching the battle on the high platform, nodded, pointed at Du Zhi and said, "Who is this?" It's so brave! ”

Qin Mu beside him smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this person is Du Zhi." Du Zhi is the leader of the largest water thief force in the Taihu Lake area - the cangtou thief, nicknamed 'crossing the river dragon', he also claims to be the demon king of the mixed world, it is said that not long ago he also built a palace on his Dajiao Island, and the founding of the country was called the king, and the water thieves from all over the world came to worship him! ”

"Hahahaha! This is a daring man! Just a Taihu Lake water thief, how dare he be the king? ”

Hearing what Qin Mu said, he almost didn't laugh Ran Min to death.

Rao is like this, Ran Min still has a heart of love for talents, and said: "This Du Zhi! I want to live! ”

"No!"

Ran Min's order was quickly conveyed.

Du Zhi and the others were too tired to rush and kill, they had no war horses to ride, they could only fight on foot, how could such a fight last? So when they slacked off and wanted to take a breath, a large number of Wei soldiers surrounded them.

Ma Qiu drove forward and shouted at Du Zhi arrogantly: "You are Du Zhi, the leader of the blue-headed thieves? ”

"It's you, Grandpa Du, and me!" Rao has fallen to this point, Du Zhi still does not change his arrogance.

Ma Qiu looked at this Du Zhi for a while, then bowed his head slightly and said, "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

Hearing this, Du Zhi's brows furrowed, and then he looked at his partners who were already covered in bruises and panting, and felt very sad in his heart, so he said, "I surrender to you, can you spare us?" ”

"Surrender and don't kill. As for you thieves and the water thieves in the Taihu Lake area, they must be punished according to the mistakes they have committed in the past, those who are not guilty can be released, and those who are guilty must be severely punished! This is the promise of His Majesty the Emperor to you! ”

Not guilty? How could they be innocent?

Even if they didn't have the blood of the common people in their hands before, this time they attacked and killed the emperor with a counterattack, no matter how tolerant and generous Ran Min was, but the national law was ruthless, these rebellious water thieves would at least have to go to various places to build straights or Grand Canals.

Finally, Du Zhi silently lowered his head and threw away the nine-ring steel knife in his hand.

Seeing that their leaders had surrendered, the remaining water thieves abandoned their weapons and surrendered one after another.

The rebellion finally came to an end.

No, it should be said that not yet.

Not long after, I saw a rebel army rushing out from the direction of Wu County. There are also tens of thousands of rebels in this force, and a large area of black pressure is not small.

When the Wei army rushed over, these rebels inexplicably put down their weapons.

"Huh?" Ma Qiu said he was confused.

At this moment, Gu Shen stood up, lowered his eyebrows and said, "This general, we are a rebel army, not a rebel army!" ”

Ma Qiu sneered: "What proof do you take?" ”

"We've all laid down our weapons! And general, we rebels just came out to kill thieves! Gu Shen hurriedly shouted.

"You say you are a rebel, what kind of rebel are you?"

"General, we are all Jiangdong righteous soldiers who spontaneously organized to escort King Qin! Look at the blood stains on our bodies, we have just experienced a fierce battle! If the general doesn't believe it, he can send someone to Siming Mountain to check! There are the corpses of my Jiangdong righteous soldiers and rebels! ”

Ma Qiu still looked incredulous.

Gu Shen was anxious, so he said, "General, can you let me meet the king with Zhang Shao and the head of the Zhang family?" I am Gu Shen, the head of the Gu family of Wu County, and Zhang Shao is also the head of the Zhang family of Wu County. I have something important to see Your Majesty! ”

"Hmph, Your Majesty, did you say you would see you? Come on, tie them all up! ”

Ma Qiu, the iron Hanhan, didn't say a word, and directly asked people to arrest these rebels who claimed to be the rebels, and then Gu Shen and Zhang Shao were tied up and sent to Ran Min.

"Grass people Gu Shen (Zhang Shao) knock to see my emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

As soon as they saw Ran Min, Gu Shen and Zhang Shao, the two old things, had no discipline at all, and bowed directly to Ran Min, with a look of sincere fear.
