There are countless coincidences in the world, as if everything is destined. At the moment when the Zhejiang army arrived at the wooden bridge, the Japanese pirates on the other side of the river happened to cut off the pillars of the wooden bridge, and the wooden bridge collapsed with a loud bang.
The heavy wooden bridge crashed into the water, splashing water several meters high and creating deep whirlpools.
"Fuck! Nima!"
"No..."
Dozens of Japanese pirates on the wooden bridge screamed in despair, and fell into the rushing river involuntarily along with the collapsed wooden bridge. They were swallowed up by the huge splashes and whirlpools created by the wooden bridge.
A few Japanese pirates who had not yet crossed the river gritted their teeth and made up their minds to jump into the river, trying to swim across. However, the rapid flow of the water and the endless whirlpool were like a black hole that swallowed up the pirates who jumped into the river.
Several Japanese pirates who jumped into the river were all buried in the water instantly, and none of them could float to the surface.
"Xu Hai and Chen Dong, you are destroying the bridge after crossing it, you will not live happily ever after!"
"If you can't deal with the Zhejiang Army, deal with your own brothers! Shameless and incompetent, irresponsible, what qualifications do you have to be the leader!"
"Brothers on the other side, our today is your tomorrow. If they can destroy us today, they may destroy you tomorrow. I advise you to make plans early!"
The Japanese pirates who had not yet crossed the river had their way to survival completely cut off, and they cursed even more harshly. The ancestors of Xu Hai and Ma Ye, the two instigators, as well as the female members of their families, were all cordially greeted by the pirates who had not yet crossed the river.
In order to retaliate against Xu Hai and Chen Dong, they even dug traps and planted the seeds of rebellion for the Japanese pirates who were crossing the river.
After hearing this, the Japanese pirates who had crossed the river all looked at Xu Hai at the same time.
"Brothers, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is a helpless move. If we don't tear down the wooden bridge, you can't escape. At this time, let alone them, even if my own parents were behind me, I would order the wooden bridge to be torn down."
"Let's not talk about anything else. Didn't our brother Chen Dong, our close friend, our brother, our dearest relative, and your leader, also fail to cross the bridge behind us?! Didn't we break the bridge when we shouldn't have?!"
"Or do you want to be buried with them too?!"
Xu Hai looked at the Japanese pirates and spoke frankly, even shamelessly using Chen Dong as an example.
The Japanese pirates were convinced by Xu Hai and agreed with him deeply. They all understood that it is better to let a friend die than to let me die.
Besides, it was a fact that Chen Dong was left behind. At this moment, Chen Dong was still laughing up to the sky.
"Brothers, I know you are resentful, but don't worry, we will avenge you!"
"Today's revenge will be repaid a hundredfold by the Zhejiang Army tomorrow!"
Xu Hai swore an oath, and in order to make it more convincing, he drew out a Japanese sword, cut his palm, and dripped blood as an oath.
"One day, we will ask the Zhejiang Army to pay us back a hundredfold!"
The Japanese pirates who were crossing the river shouted in unison.
"Since we are going to die, why not drag the Zhejiang army down with us? Killing one Zhejiang soldier will cover our losses, and killing two will be a profit."
"Think about how they pushed us step by step to the situation we are in today! Rather than dying in disgrace, we'd better fight to the death with the Zhejiang Army!"
"We should have been drinking celebratory wine in Suzhou, sleeping with women, and counting silver. It was the damned Zhejiang Army that caused us to fail and end up in this situation! How many brothers and sisters were killed by the despicable and shameless Zhejiang Army! We are unworthy of being human if we don't take revenge! We Japanese pirates have never been cowards who kneel down and wait to die! Now that the Zhejiang Army has not yet established a firm foothold, it is time to fight to the death. Charge up and fight the Zhejiang Army!"
Xu Hai stabilized the morale of the Japanese pirates who had crossed the river, while Ma Ye took the lead in inciting the Japanese pirates who had not crossed the river to fight the Zhejiang army to the death.
It has to be said that Ma Ye's words were quite inspiring. Many Japanese pirates who had not crossed the river clenched their Japanese swords and looked at the Zhejiang army that had just arrived with a desperate look or a desperate look.
"Yeah, we're all going to die anyway, so we might as well drag the Zhejiang Army down with us! There are so many of us, we can always drag a few Zhejiang Army soldiers down with us!"
"Die! Let's perish together!"
A few Japanese pirates were persuaded and picked up their Japanese swords, shouting and rushing towards the Zhejiang army that had just arrived.
Led by a few Japanese pirates, other Japanese pirates also became restless, and many of them followed the death charge with Japanese swords in hand.
After the Zhejiang Army arrived at the bridgehead, they dismounted and lined up immediately, forming the Zhejiang Army's classic three-stage shooting formation.
See a group of Japanese pirates charging towards death.
Zhu Ping'an waved his hand, and the first wave of Zhejiang soldiers pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the fuse stretched towards the firing port.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
After a round of volleys, the dozen or so Japanese pirates who made the first death charge fell to the ground with a scream.
The remaining Japanese pirates suddenly calmed down a lot.
"Don't be afraid. If you die, you die. It's better to die fighting than to die on your knees. Take as many Zhejiang soldiers as you can."
The Japanese pirates including Ma Ye on the other side of the river began to stir again.
"Put down your weapons, kneel down and surrender, and you will not be killed! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
Zhu Ping'an glanced disdainfully at Ma Ye and other Japanese pirates who were inciting the movement on the other side of the river, and shouted at the hesitant Japanese pirates who did not cross the river.
"Put down your weapons, kneel down and surrender, and you will not be killed! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
"Put down your weapons, kneel down and surrender, and you will not be killed! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
"Put down your weapons, kneel down and surrender, and you will not be killed! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
A group of Zhejiang Army soldiers followed suit and shouted, repeating it three times in a row, the sound like a tsunami.
When they heard that they would not be killed if they laid down their weapons and kneeled down to surrender, the eyes of the Japanese pirates who had not crossed the river suddenly lit up with disbelief.
If there is a chance to survive, most people cannot avoid this temptation, even on their knees.
Given a chance to live, who would choose death
The Japanese pirates have no moral principles at all.
“Bang.”
As soon as a Japanese pirate finished speaking to the Zhejiang army, he threw away his Japanese sword and knelt on the ground.
Once there is one, there will be two. Once there are two, there will be three. Soon, the sound of weapons being thrown clangingly rang out one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the Japanese pirates who had not crossed the river at the bridgehead knelt on the ground, with not a single one left standing.
Oh, it’s not that there is no one standing. There is a Japanese pirate standing on the field. That’s Chen Dong who is laughing wildly towards the sky.
At this moment, Chen Dong looked like a madman, laughing up to the sky, with tears streaming down his face...
After the Japanese pirates knelt on the ground, he immediately stood out.
"Chen Dong?!"
Zhu Ping'an looked at Chen Dong, who was laughing towards the sky, with some uncertainty. It was hard to associate the disheveled and crazy guy in front of him with the high-spirited Japanese chieftain Chen Dong, who rode on horseback and commanded tens of thousands of Japanese pirates.
"Sir, yes, he is Chen Dong, absolutely! His leg was broken by a tree in the fire, and when he was escaping, he was abandoned by Xu Hai and others as a burden. His personal soldiers also deserted him, and he ended up like this."
Several kneeling Japanese pirates took the opportunity to take credit and expose Chen Dong.
I didn’t expect it was really Chen Dong. Zhu Ping’an couldn’t help but curl his lips. It was really an unexpected surprise.
