The dense fog slowly dissipated, and as far as the eye could see, four miles away was the Baozhi Ferry, about more than 10,000 local rioters crossed the Qujiang River, and some even left the ferry and walked along the main road towards Yingshan.

On the other side of the river, there were even more neighing horses, and about thousands of people were preparing to cross the river, and the local thugs had already crossed most of it, and were now carrying a cartload of baggage across the canal in small boats.

There are only three ferries at the ferry, and each time the carrying capacity is limited, and when they see more than 100 wheelbarrows on the opposite bank, everyone has different opinions.

The cavalry commander pointed to the other side of the river and said: "My lord, most of the grain and grass of the local tyrants are still on the other side of the river, as long as we delay the attack for half an hour, we can seize the vast majority of the food and grass for reading at that time." ”

Yang Wei, the deputy general of the 2nd Division, shook his head and said: "My lord, although this is the best, but there are many people in the local violence, and what I am most afraid of is being greedy and chewing too much." ”

After thinking about it, he put down the monoculars, and finally made up his mind for a long time, pointed to the local tyrant who was crossing the river and said: "Although what Mr. Bu said is reasonable, the strength of any person and any army is very limited.

To ensure victory in a hundred battles, it is necessary not to take on too many combat tasks, because in this way it is inevitable to lose sight of one or the other, and to advance and retreat.

This time, our army took the initiative to attack, mainly to defeat the main force of the soil rioters, and it was only a secondary task to recapture the grain and grass looted by the soil rioters. ”

Immediately disregarded, the whole line was ordered to be dispatched, and the troops approached the Baozhi ferry in four ways.

According to the plan, Yang Lin personally led Yang Cheng's 1st Infantry Division and Long Zhiframe's 3rd Infantry Division as the main force to defeat the main force of the ferry.

Yang Wei led the cavalry division to rush and kill the local tyrants who had already left the ferry, blocking their return to help.

Bu Ning Yao Chonglie led the 2nd Infantry Division to attack the ferry and set fire to disturb the morale of the opposing army.

Wang Rimeng contacted the surrounding villagers, followed closely behind the Pengzhou soldiers, waving flags and shouting to cheer for the officers and soldiers.

After using the telescope to reconfirm that the soldiers and horses of each unit were basically in place, Yang Lin led his troops to rush down from the mountain, lined up on the left and right wings, and then killed the local rioters.

The Pengzhou soldiers suddenly came out of the mountains, which was much unexpected by the enemy, and although the local rioters were numerous, the soldiers and horses crossing the river had already dispersed, and it was difficult to gather and organize effective defense in a short time.

The local thugs were in a mess, and many people scattered in all directions when they saw the Pengzhou soldiers killed, although a few brave people tried to block them on the spot, but before the two sides could fight in close quarters, they were scattered by a burst of birds, and the others were scattered in panic like frightened chickens and ducks.

This time, there were more than 10,000 people crossing the river, it can be said that the soldiers were strong and strong, and the officers and soldiers were outnumbered, and Yao Tiandong, the leader of the local rioters, thought that it was just an ordinary straggler and harassment and did not care too much, until the generals under him were in a hurry, and after seeing the Pengzhou soldiers killing and blocking the local rioters one after another, he felt that something was wrong.

With more than ten personal bodyguards rushed to the front of the battle, wielding a big knife to cut down a small leader, the bodyguards around him are also brave people, and they also cut down two or three people in the same way, so as to slightly deter the fleeing soldiers and horses.

One foot stepped on a corpse that had not yet died, brandishing a bloody knife Yao Tiandong said viciously: "Turtle son, don't run around, whoever runs around will be killed, give Lao Tzu a hold, resist it fiercely."

There are many of us, but the other party is only three or five hundred people, and we are not three-headed and six-armed, so let me resist. ”

Hearing that his subordinates were killed by Yao Tiandong five or six people, the Black Tiger King rushed over panting, wiped the blood on his face again and again, and complained: "The big boss, don't blame the brothers, everyone really can't resist."

You see, the white dragon was the first to be attacked by the enemy, and thousands of men and horses were defeated with one blow, and now they are scattering everywhere, and the brothers are also affected by it, so they are scattered everywhere. ”

The marching route of each department, the rest area Yao Tiandong still knows, and now when he heard the black tiger say this, he also felt quite apologetic, and sighed: "White Jiaolong soft egg, you, you black tiger don't want soft eggs."

You reorganize your troops and horses and turn around to fight, as long as you block the opponent's offensive a little, and win Lao Tzu a moment and a half, then you will be a great achievement, and I will ask you to be the fourth master at that time. ”

Yao Tiandong, the second leader, Huang Long, and the third leader, Yuan Tao, were strong and strong, leaving the other masters far behind.

If you heard in the past that the four masters, one by one will inevitably compete with each other and not give in to each other, but now the other party is strong, and the sound of birds in the distance is like firecrackers, which makes people scared when they listen to it, not to mention leading their troops to meet the enemy?

The Black Tiger King Gao shook his head again and again, pointed to the rout in front of him and said: "The big boss, although the situation is unknown, since the other party is deliberately ambushed, it is really not small to look at the battlefield posture."

Otherwise, we will retreat first, and we will retreat across the river first, so that we can be invincible. ”

Yao Tiandong complained bitterly, not that he didn't know that the situation on the battlefield was not good, but was it easy to pull so many people this time?

Since the defeat of Pengzhou last year and the escape back to the nest of Dazhou, Bazhou, the soldiers under his command have fled and fled, and some have even set up their own doors and no longer obey their own commands.

Originally thought that the general trend had gone, and was plotting with three or five cronies to escape back to Shaanxi and then find a way out, who expected that the situation in the world would change greatly this year, first Li Zicheng was proclaimed emperor in Xi'an, and then sent troops and horses to prepare to enter Sichuan to expand the territory after the eastward expedition.

Then Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, fought and won successes, and in a few months, he actually included more than 100 states and counties in Sichuan.

Taking this opportunity to resurrect the corpse in northern Sichuan, taking advantage of the power vacuum left by the rout of the official army, he once again controlled northern Sichuan, and now the leaders of the local rioters, Yao Tiandong, Huang Long, and Yuan Tao, also led their troops out of the mountains, preparing to expand their territory.

Everyone was full of confidence, who would have expected that they would encounter an ambush today, and if the news of the defeat without a fight spread, not only would Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other bigwigs look down on them, but also the remnants of the official army would look down on them, and even the local squires would no longer be sincere in submission to their own violence.

The front was full of routs, and all the generals in the rear had their own small calculations, and Yao Tiandong, the leader of Yao Huang, was forced to have no choice but to draw a big pie for the Black Tiger King, hoping that he would lead his troops to resist a little to stabilize the situation.

The black tiger king Gao Liu Jin was afraid of suffering, and repeatedly told him: "The big boss, you see that the other masters are leading their men to flee desperately, you want me to resist desperately, even if my hundreds of old brothers fight hard, I can't resist it." ”

The Pengzhou soldiers are getting stronger and stronger, especially the main force sneak attack, Wang Rimeng and others led the locals to shout and kill, which is even stronger.

Yao Tiandong was quite anxious, looked at Liu Jinfu, the nine dragons who came over, pulled out his treasure knife and pointed at the Pengzhou soldiers in the distance and said viciously: "Black Tiger, now it's either you die or I live, if we are all like you, then we are all finished playing, and we will all become the souls of Yang Lin's sword."

Bai Jiaolong can't restrain his own soldiers and horses, don't do it, it's all under your jurisdiction.

You immediately pack up the white dragon soldiers and horses, plus the nine dragons Liu Jinfu's soldiers and horses are also under your control, now you will no longer be afraid of your own losses, I will give you half of the personal soldiers.

Now rest assured, Lao Tzu will not want you to suffer alone. ”

The end of the Ming Dynasty was the era of the jungle, just like many warlords in later generations, there were soldiers, there was everything, and now when he heard that he could merge the soldiers and horses under Bai Jiaolong's men in an open and honest manner, the Black Tiger King Gao was overjoyed in his heart.

On the one hand, the Black Tiger Wang Gao sent his cronies to block the rout, and took advantage of the chaos to clean up the remnants of Bai Jiaolong's defeated army.

On the other hand, he let the nine dragons Liu Jinfu resist in front, while he led his troops to rely on the hillside to hold on, to delay and wait for change, so as to slightly drag the offensive of the Pengzhou soldiers.
