This can make Yao Huang's big and small masters happy, Yao Huang's thirteen families are all bandits integrated together, everyone pushes Yao Tiandong as the big boss, and coordinates the various ministries in wartime, but in peacetime, everyone is entrenched in one side, and the king is the hegemon, and there is a lot of autonomy.

The local thugs make a living by looting, kidnapping, extortion, and robbing large households in the past, and later attacking the state and county, 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 in addition to the blackmail along the road, many people had bulging wallets.

In addition to money, what is even more eye-catching is the equipment, all wearing cotton armor and equipping all kinds of standard weapons.

Hearing that the officers and troops were retreating, some of them were alive, and if they could take the opportunity to get a vote and add a little equipment, they would inevitably increase their strength and expand their territory by taking advantage of the situation.

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 the Yellow 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 He Shu Temple mightily.

When everyone was frantically robbing property on the road and arguing endlessly for property, who would have expected to fall into the trap of the official army.

The officers and troops who were ambushed around were killed, and Liu Jiayin, Wang Chaoyang and others led the main force to kill a horse gun, and the local rioters were caught off guard and returned defeated.

Everyone collected the troops and returned to the camp, and the various departments captured a lot, and Liu Jiayin, the general soldier of the four Chuan, was unwilling to withdraw to Jiangnan and Wang Chaoyang's troops, and only reluctantly withdrew from Jiangbei under the repeated insistence of Yang Lin and others.

But all this was only the beginning, after the defeat of the local tyrants during the day, the official army and the navy were dispatched again that night.

General Zeng Ying led his naval army to use the fog as a concealment to go upstream, approaching the Longmen Ferry.

After arriving at Longmen Ferry, Li Zhanchun, the commander of Qian, led an army to rush upstream, and then used the advantage of the upstream to launch an offensive against the local tyrants 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 the ships to attack to protect the ships, 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.

In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army was already equipped with red-coated cannons, Franc cannons and other artillery.

Zeng Ying sat on a big boat, and the Franco cannons on four or five big ships around him opened fire one after another, and one after another solid catapults were fired into the water village.

The firing range of the large Franc cannon was more than 500 meters, and the smallest No. 5 Franc cannon was also more than 100 meters.

Zeng Ying commanded the gunboats to direct the battle in the distance, while Li Zhanchun and Yu Dahai set up ships to fight in the water village.

First, they shot with birds, rockets, bows and arrows, and then drove the ships on a rampage, and some even threw the earth-shattering thunderbolts into the opponent's river.

Everyone may be very familiar with the bird gun rocket bow and arrow, and this earth-shattering thunder is actually a primitive grenade, which appeared in the late Northern Song Dynasty, when the Song army resisted the Jin army under the city of Kaifeng.

When watching various martial arts movies, you often see throwing one or two primordial grenades when retreating, and then taking advantage of the other party's panic to escape with the cover of smoke.

In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this was taken to the extreme in the West, with the emergence of grenadiers who specialized in throwing grenades, and these tall and powerful soldiers often served as elite assault forces.

Even though the grenadiers were abolished in the twentieth century, elite units were often referred to as grenadiers.

However, whether it is the grenades used by the grenadiers in the West, or the early sky-shaking thunder used in the East, as well as various grenades in the later period, like firecrackers, gunpowder is wrapped in a hollow iron ball, and then connected to the outside with a fire wire, and the outside is covered with a cover to prevent moisture, and when used, the cover is opened and the fire line is lit, and it is thrown to kill and injure the opponent like a firecracker.

The ships of the officers and soldiers were large and well-equipped, and as soon as the battle began, the Turkish riot warships lost seven or eight, and the rest of the warships hiding in the water village did not dare to come out at all, in a vain attempt to rely on the water village to resist stubbornly.

Seeing that the naval army had successfully attacked, the officers and infantry troops who were ambushed ten miles away from the shore were dispatched, and Cao Xun, a general of the Sichuan army, led his troops to attack from the shore.

Under the attack of land and water, the officers and troops were like broken bamboos, 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, and those who surrendered, and so on.

On Longjiao Mountain, Yao Tiandong, the leader of the local rioters, was awakened by the shouting of killing outside, stumbled out of the big tent, and saw the shouting and killing at the foot of the mountain, and the entire Longmen ferry port fell into a sea of fire.

The sky shook, and Yao Tiandong almost fainted.

As Yang Lin analyzed, the Longmen Ferry is where the local tyrants are seven inches, and if the Longmen Ferry is lost, then the Pengzhou Prefecture and Jiangnan local tyrants on the north bank of the Jialing River will be divided into two by the Jialing River and cut in half.

Feeling that the situation was serious, Yao Tiandong 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.

Huang Harrier, the king of Zhengshi, was killed and defeated in isolation, and finally had to lead his troops to retreat to Longjiao Mountain, and the official army and navy took advantage of the situation to occupy the Longmen Ferry, which was used as the location of the army's grain platform.

As soon as the Longmen ferry was lost, the situation on the battlefield was completely reversed, and the officers and troops completely dominated.

At the foot of Longjiao Mountain, Liu Jiayin, the general of Sichuan, and Cao Xun, the general of the staff, led the troops to surround Longjiao Mountain.
