Chapter 22: Back to the Horse Pistol
In the past few decades, the weather has been extremely cold, the harvest in the field is limited, and the hilly areas of northern Sichuan are not only humid, but also make people feel cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone curled up in a ball, and their big hands touched the warm body of the beautiful woman on their side from time to time, just to warm their hands and feet.
Drinking and eating meat is boring, everyone is drinking, fighting, and having sex while punching, and now everyone is away from the front line and is at ease.
And at this moment, first received news similar to the county seat, the official army Wang Chaoyang, who was once approaching the county seat, retreated early in the morning, and along the way, there were many abandoned baggage.
Then news also came from the direction of Yunshan Ancient City, and the officers and troops stationed in Heshuchang were making a commotion, and it seemed that they were preparing to retreat.
This can make Yao Huang's big and small masters happy, Yao Huang's thirteen families are an organization that integrates all kinds of bandits, although everyone pushes Yao Tiandong as the big boss, and coordinates the various departments in wartime, but in peacetime, everyone is entrenched in one side, and they all claim to be kings and hegemons, and they have a lot of autonomy.
The local thugs make a living by looting, kidnapping and ransom in the past, robbing large households, and later attacking states and counties, and the business is getting bigger and bigger.
Although the officers and soldiers were poor, many people hid a small amount of money on them, and they smashed and extorted ruffians along the way, and many people had their purses.
In addition to money, what is even more eye-catching is the equipment, one by one wearing cotton armor and equipping all kinds of weapons, which money can't buy.
Now that I heard that the officers and troops had retreated, one by one my eyes were alive, if I could take the opportunity to get a vote and add a little equipment, then my strength would inevitably increase greatly, and I could also take advantage of the situation to expand my territory.
First of all, Wang Gao, the chaotic star in the ancient city of Yunshan, and the six teams of Ma Chao couldn't resist the temptation, and then Huang Harrier, the neat king Zhang Xian, and the king of heaven Ma Hui, led the troops to attack on all fronts one by one, and killed the Heshu field mightily.
But there is no doubt that he fell into the trap of the official army, although Liu Jiayin led the main force to retreat, but he has been hidden behind, seeing the local tyrants killing from all directions, everyone frantically looted and discarded the baggage, money and food, after the whole army fell into chaos, suddenly led the army to kill, after a fight, the local tyrants were defeated, and fled in a hurry.
After the great defeat of the local tyrants, everyone collected their troops and returned to the camp, and the various departments captured a lot, and everyone seemed extremely happy.
Before the Liukou retreated into Longjiao Mountain, there was no time for a truce, and the situation on the battlefield once again underwent a shocking reversal.
That night, with the help of heavy fog as a cover, the general Zeng Ying led his naval army to go upriver and approach the Longmen Ferry.
With the help of heavy fog as a cover, the official fleet suddenly rushed upstream, and then took advantage of the upstream to launch an offensive against the Tu Riots at Longmen Ferry.
The navy went down the river, and when it was about 100 steps away from the Longmen Ferry, they lit more than a dozen small boats filled with gunpowder and sulfur, and let them go downstream, with the help of the current and the northwest wind, pounced on the Longmen Ferry.
Huang Harrizi, the leader of the local rioters stationed at the Longmen Ferry, heard a report early in the morning that about dozens of ships had rushed upstream, and everyone was shocked, and hurriedly beat the war drums and gathered people.
However, a few days ago, the various departments had just been defeated by the official army, and one by one they were in shock, and now the official army and the navy suddenly appeared and launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting local tyrant army.
Huang Harrier was shocked, and ordered his generals to lead ships to attack to protect the wearers, while he personally led the army to protect the water village.
But now it was too late, before the water village was rowed, there were two boats rushing down the river to the walled gate, although the heavy wooden walled gate was not knocked over, but the sulfur and gunpowder on the small boat ignited the walled gate, and the wall gate ignited a sky-high fire.
The fireboats behind continued to flow downstream, instantly igniting the wood next to the walled gate, and when the fifth fireboat crashed next to the walled gate, the walled gate collapsed, and those burning fireboats were pushed into the waterhouse by the water ghosts.
Huang Harrier's face was covered with beads of sweat, shouting loudly, calling his companions to rush out, if he waited until the official army and the navy arrived, then there was no doubt that he would close the door and beat the dog, and the family wealth he had accumulated with great difficulty would be in vain.
But it was even more difficult to rush out, and as soon as I rushed out of the gate of the village and didn't row far, I saw boats rushing down from the downstream.
The difference in the size of the vessels was very obvious, and the ships of the officers and the navy were far larger than the fishing boats looted by the local tyrants, and when the two boats collided, the fishing boats were often rammed and killed.
The few fishing boats that were not hit were no better, and the officers and soldiers were condescending, and everyone stood on the battleship stacks and kept firing rockets and firing guns.
As soon as the battle began, the Turkish riot warships lost seven or eight, and the rest of the people who were hiding in the water village did not dare to come out at all.
Some even felt that the tide was over, and some abandoned ships and landed, but it was already too late.
At the same time that Zeng Ying led the naval army to launch a general attack, Cao Xun, a general of the Sichuan army, also led his troops to launch an attack from the shore, and the officers and troops were like a broken bamboo under the attack of land and water, and in less than half an hour, the local tyrant Shuizhai fell into a sea of fire, and those who abandoned the ship abandoned the ship, those who fled for their lives, those who surrendered, and so on.
On Longjiao Mountain, Yao Tiandong, who had returned from a great defeat in the daytime, was awakened, and Zhang Xian, the king of neatness, came to report that the official army suddenly attacked Longmen Ferry.
Yao Tian was startled, stumbled out of the big tent, and saw the shouts of killing at the foot of the mountain, and the entire Longmen ferry port fell into a sea of fire.
Yao Tiandong felt that the sky was shaking, and the whole person almost fainted.
As Yang Xuan's analysis believes, the Longmen Ferry is where the local tyrant is seven inches, if the Longmen Ferry is lost, then the Pengzhou Prefecture City Tyrant and the Jiangyou Tyrant will be divided into two halves.
Yao Tiandong pondered for a moment and ordered an all-out rescue, but before he could rush to the Longmen Ferry, he was intercepted by the officers and troops led by Liu Jiayin.
At dawn, Huang Harrier, the king of Zhengshi stationed at Longmen Ferry, saw that the situation was not good and had to give up the water village, and led the territorial tyrants to retreat to Longjiao Mountain, and the official army and navy took advantage of the situation to occupy Longmen Ferry, and used it as the place where the army was located.
As soon as the Longmen Ferry was lost, the battlefield situation was completely reversed, and yesterday the officers and troops of the First Battle of Heshuchang slightly defeated the local tyrants, so the officers and troops of the First Battle of Longmen Ferry completely dominated.
Looking at Long Wenguang, the general soldier Liu Jiayin and the generals Cao Xun and Wang Chaoyang in northern Sichuan, the generals Cao Xun and Wang Chaoyang led their troops to surround Longjiao Mountain.
The local tyrants were defeated by the official army one after another, and they wanted to stick to Longjiao Mountain, but the mountain was relatively flat, and there were no decent fortifications.
If it is withdrawn from the mountain, Pengzhou will inevitably fall into the hands of the official army again, and if the official army temporarily ignores the city, the loss of the local tyrants will be major in the country.
Yao Tiandong felt anxious, and the original plan strategy was completely ineffective.
According to the original agreement of the ministries, if the official army attacked Longjiao Mountain, the six teams of Ma Chao and the Chaotian Star Wang Gao who were stationed in the ancient city of Yunshan would cut off the grain route of the official army.
But now that the officers and troops have seized the Longmen Ferry, and put the grain road at the Longmen Ferry, unless the ferry is recaptured, the grain road cannot be cut off at all.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yao Tiandong decided to adopt the suggestion of Zhang Xian, the king of neatness, that the dead and poor Dao is not as good as the dead Dao friends, and it is better to force the six teams of Ma Chao and Chaotian Star Wang Gao on the ancient city of Yunshan to lead reinforcements according to the plan.
On the ancient city of Yunshan, Wang Gao and the six teams of Ma Chao received the order and complained bitterly.
If there was no problem in the first two days, the local rioters in the first battle of Heshuchang lost their troops and lost their generals, and the morale of the whole army was extremely low, and now it is even more difficult to save the local rioters in Longjiao Mountain.
It's hard to return, but you can't help it, Yao Tiandong is a big boss, if you don't save it, how can you mess around in the rivers and lakes?
The two sides discussed for a long time, and whoever stayed on the mountain was not happy, so the two of them acted together and led a group of elite soldiers to kill Longjiao Mountain.
As long as you attract the opponent a little, you can contain the opponent's forces.
Early in the morning, the mountains and mountains were covered with frost everywhere, and the official army was besieging Longjiao Mountain ten miles away.
In order to attract the attention of the officials and soldiers, everyone beat gongs and drums as soon as they got to the ancient city of Yunshan, for fear that the other party would not know, and marched towards Longjiao Mountain.
But what is surprising is that when the officials and soldiers heard that the local rioters from the ancient city of Yunshan had come to the rescue, they did not react at all.
In order to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, Ma Chao led 200 cavalry in front and Chaotianxing led 2,000 infantry in the rear, and everyone approached Longjiao Mountain with great momentum.
However, Liu Jiayin only sent more than 500 officers and cavalry to monitor, and he looked like he was ignoring it, and he did not stop attacking at all.
This is too ignorant of his own existence, is it tolerable or unbearable, Xiangma was born in Ma Chao was very annoyed, and constantly led his troops to attack the positions of the officers and soldiers, and in order to protect the safety of the mountain attack troops, Liu Jiayin commanded the cavalry of the post to launch a counterattack.
The two sides came and went at the foot of the mountain, chasing and fighting back and forth, and now that the fog had dissipated, Ma Chao was afraid of falling into the trap of the official army, and hurriedly led his troops to escape to the ancient city of Yunshan.
But an unexpected scene happened, after seeing the local rioters retreat to the ancient city of Yunshan, the officers and troops who had been attacking Longjiao Mountain with all their might just now suddenly changed their strategy.
Staff General Wang Chaoyang led his subordinates to follow him and chased him closely.
