The four ships that had the first ship lowered their sails and turned around and fled for their lives, but as if these fireships were a curse of fate, each ship was hit by at least two fireboats, and they burned these four ships into fireboats, and then crashed headlong into the following fleet!

Although the Yangtze River is the widest river in China, but the width of the main channel is also limited, the huge fleet suddenly dropped the sails, scrambling to escape, the disaster caused can be imagined, several hundreds of ships directly stranded, half of which was also blocked on the channel, the Yangtze River that was originally Zheng Jun as a thoroughfare suddenly gave birth to a barrier to people's lives.

All this was clearly seen by a fort set up by the Qing army in Wangjiang County, and after the withdrawal of the Zheng army's naval division for half an hour, the messenger of the victory arrived on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then the flying horse passed to the Fanchang camp where Yue Le was.

But before Yue Le had time to clap his hands and laugh, another bad news came: on September 7, Hankou and Wuchang Erfu fell into the hands of thieves! At this moment, Yue Le finally came out with a situation of eating, and it seemed that he was going to be eaten back again? Even if Zhu Chenggong in front of him directly broke and fled, at most he would be able to regather his troops when he was Tu, even if he withdrew to Jiangning as a shrinking turtle, it would not be possible to crack the turtle's shell in a short time! Although he didn't know how Liang Huafeng's pig-like heads quickly lost Jiangning Mansion, Yue Le had no doubt about the ability of the opponent in front of him. After this period of fighting, Yue Le was disabled eight Niu Lu and three battalions, if it weren't for Ao Bai's brain finally opening up, it really wasn't necessarily who won!

However, before Zhu Chenggong retreated, he could prepare a big gift for Yue Le. Anyway, I don't need the food and ordnance in the three counties of Wuhu, Dangtu, and Gaochun, so I'll just send it to the nearby landlord regiment to practice! When the Son of Heaven named me the king of Fujian, he also gave me the authority to seal various official positions below the second rank (from the second rank and above, you need to report, but Yongli has 25% of the confessions) I sent these people a bunch of bird guns and spears, and then stuffed thousands of generals, garrisons and even guerrillas and other official titles, do you believe that they are disgusting to death you?

Don't forget, Yue Le has to kill people everywhere he goes, in this era, the spread of information is underdeveloped, and when it spreads to the Zheng family, it becomes Yue Le's staking land, turning the people on the ground into coats, so that he can't get along with the local tyrants in the countryside!

Of course, this kind of behavior is not only carried out in these three counties that have not yet been lost, but also sneaks into other counties that have just been controlled by the Qing army with the mentality of trying it out, and the control of the Qing army in these places is not strong, maybe the piecemeal can really work wonders, isn't it?

So, you can see that when Yue Le drove the green battalion through the empty Zheng army camp, explosions kept sounding in the camp--- Zheng army planted some mines before leaving, and buried them on the path that the Qing army needed to pass. After taking control of the county seat, not a single grain of grain was found in the warehouse. This made Yue Le angry and annoyed, and out of reason, he suppressed the urge of his subordinates to rob the impoverished county town, and ordered the troops to pass through here quickly, while sending a bunch of small troops to collect food.

In the afternoon, the Qing army began to set up camp, and the Si Yang piled firewood together and waited for the rice to be put into the pot. But after waiting for an hour, there was amazing news: "Some Tuweizi don't know what to do, not only don't give it, but also send people to beat us." ”

"Got it, don't leave a single one." Yue Le said indifferently.

……

Let's rewind the clock to September 7.

Tianma Pass has been peaceful for decades, even when the Qing army occupied Yunnan--- the official army could not touch it at all, and the Tusi were more "heart-to-heart" to the Ming Dynasty. It's just that for insurance reasons, an old army of sentry was stationed here, and by the way, a little "protection money" was charged to the soldiers to support their families.

A watchtower was built on the Pegasus Pass, and there were always people standing guard on the watchtower because there was a force passing before. Seeing a long procession approaching in the distance, the lookout was so frightened that he almost fell, and he ran down to report to the sentinel guarding here. The whole fortress was only half a mile long, and as soon as there was a shout, the bored soldiers immediately arrived and stood in their positions with somewhat unfamiliar weapons.

The soldiers guarding Tianma Pass knew the news of Tusi's rebellion, and their hearts trembled: Could it be that the county seat of Hanlong has been lost, and the rebels have begun to storm Tianlong Pass? How good is that? No matter how dangerous Tianlong Pass is, what should I do when the gunpowder is finished?

But the army stopped in the distance, and out came a man with his bare hands, waving a white flag, and speaking in a blunt language, indicating that he was an emissary.

So a hanging basket was lowered from the top of the city to hang him, and two soldiers rushed up and searched him before he was allowed to meet the sentinel.

"Lord," said the envoy sincerely, "we are not here to fight, we are here to do the opposite." Longchuan Tusi struck a stone with an egg, in a vain attempt to resist the imperial court, and we refused to die with him. ”

"Anyway?" The sentinel was a little incredulous, there are so many of you, are you anyway for me? For those who often run the Tianma Pass, the number of garrisons here can be guessed.

"That's right. If the official doesn't believe it, he can send someone down to supervise us to hand over all kinds of weapons. The messenger didn't say anything about the little bit between the uncle and the nephew.

The sentry thought that it didn't matter much if it was a fake death, so he sent a soldier down to check it. After a few clicks, a greeting came from the other side of the village, and it turned out that the second battalion of the fourth regiment, which was regarded as a quick reaction force, arrived in front of Hanlong Pass. After briefly listening to the report of the sentinel, the second battalion left a platoon to surrender their weapons, and rushed forward.

With a loud bang, after being counterattacked three times in a row and failing to blast it, the fourth excavated tunnel finally succeeded in passing under the Hanlong city wall. A two-zhang long section of the city wall collapsed with a bang, and several native soldiers almost jumped and rushed in. In the face of a spear more than a zhang long, plus a rifle with a bayonet of less than eight feet, he suffered a big loss, and he lost a squad in one shot. The city wall was broken, and the rebels' strength advantage was brought into play in an instant, and the Ming army was scattered in the city and soon lost its command.

The standard-bearers around him waved their flags and summoned the lone soldiers to form a line, and in the narrow alleys, rifle fire was fired almost to the head. But without the protection of the city walls, one or two squads fighting alone were overwhelmed at once by bird guns and a greater number of archers---- the new army was not armor-piercing. On the contrary, the native soldiers were like fish in water in this kind of melee that relied more on personal martial arts, relying on the name of wine to distinguish the same kind, and suddenly stabbed non-people in the back, hitting the center several times in succession. After most of the day, the rebels retreated like a tide from the gap, but still occupied a section of the wall. Condescendingly, even if the enemy was repulsed, in order to avoid fearless casualties, Zhao Gongfan had to order to retreat step by step and hold the core area in Hanlong County.
