This is the time. Sun Jiayuan opened his eyes and shouted angrily: "Everyone opened fire!"

The firearms were busy operating. The fastest group had already ignited the firing line, and sparks flashed into the fire gate, but General Zhu had no response.

"The first shot is silent!" Sun Jia is used to the failure of this new weapon. Zheng Yunming has long reminded the officers and soldiers of the firearms team that there will definitely be many shortcomings when the new weapon is on the battlefield, and General Zhu's biggest problem is that he will often be silent.

"Don't worry about others, each group fires on its own!" Sun Jia shouted loudly. Fortunately, except for the silent generals, the other generals of bamboo were successfully fired.

Huge smoke mixed with rolled up loess rose in front of the square. After the smoke dissipated, it was a scene of the wolf running and pig running across the opposite side.

Zheng Yunming pointed the horse whip in his hand and shouted: "The whole army pursued!"

The square formation let out a deafening cry, and the spearmen and swordsmen chased towards the desperate enemy.

"Master General, let's catch up too!" Zhu Sheng urged his mount and said, "It was indeed a hit by Yang Xuan!"

Zheng Yunming nodded, gently knocked the back leg with a horse whip, and the war horse ran towards the direction of the enemy's escape.

The army gradually escaped from the baggage ship that was slowly advancing on the Jushui River, and pursued the retreating bandits and entered the vast forest.

The battle situation of the spy watching in the grass in the distance was reported to the large group of people waiting for news in the distance.

"Haha, I can't even figure out where our brigade is ambushing. Zheng Yunming is indeed just a famous young master of Yanei." The leader asked, "What's wrong with the baggage ship?"

"The tent of food and grass is unloading on the shore, and it seems that a large camp is set up nearby for a night."

The leader sneered: "They don't have to stay overnight. We will accept these food, treasures and tabernacles."

"Everyone will fight to the place where the transport ship is moored and snatch all of Zheng Yunming's supplies!"

Everyone shouted happily, it seemed that the thieves were going to beat the official army again in this battle.

When countless bandit soldiers emerged from both sides of Jushui, who were not sure where they rushed to the temporary camp on the Jushui shore with great tremendous sound, the accompanying soldiers who saw this scene were panicked, and they threw down the packages and tents on their shoulders and fled to the downstream of Jushui. Naturally, the boatman who drove the boat did not care about his own ships and joined the fleeing army with a few soldiers guarding the baggage.

The thieves of Jushui obtained all the supplies of Zheng Yunming's army without a single shot.

Tassel bags and cloth containing rice, copper coins were scattered on the shore of Jushui, and various brand new instruments and tabernacles were piled up randomly. For the Jushui thieves who were used to poverty, they were simply a vault, and everyone was crazily snatching the materials discarded by the civilians.

The big leader took out a crimson official uniform from a gorgeous suitcase. It was obviously Zheng Yunming's own official uniform. The single-line little Yanei was only concerned about pursuing the enemy in the phantom, but he didn't know that even his clothes fell into the hands of the opponent.

The big leader randomly put his official robe on his body and shouted, "Brothers, we are all here to move things! This is the dog official who respects our village. Let's just be troubled and move it yourself!"

Amid the cheers, thousands of people began to snatch cloth and copper coins, and they didn't even bother to pick up the large bags of food that fell on the ground. Some even fought with their companions because of a piece of porcelain, and the scene was in chaos.

Amid the noise of the crowd, a loud horn sound suddenly came from the woods on the left. Immediately afterwards, the sound of the horn was the sound of war drums that were shaking from all directions.

From each direction, the soldiers of the Tulong Army unfolded their formation and slowly emerged from the woods and grass with long spears. The bandits carrying the shore found that they had completely fallen into the trap of the official army.

There were fierce officers and soldiers from all directions suddenly appearing like divine weapons coming from the sky. The thieves in Jushui were in chaos before they even got involved.

A fast horse jumped out of the official army formation and shouted loudly: "Heard the thieves! Since you know that you have fallen into the official army's plan, you will abandon your weapons and surrender early. If you resist and refuse to accept it, you will definitely be killed!"

"The dog official of the thief, please accept your grandma!" The irritable Commander Hu picked up a bow and arrow and shot at the general who persuaded surrender.

Zhu Sheng saw the arrow flying, and let the steep and fast-moving feather arrow on one side of his body. He pulled out an eagle feather arrow from the arrow gourd and shot it back. This arrow was much faster and more powerful than the arrow of Commander Hu. One arrow shot through Commander Hu's throat and the dead body fell to the ground.

The thieves shouted, turned around and fled to the banks of the Jushui River. It was not because they lost their minds in panic, but they were very clear-headed. Now there are the officers on the left, middle and right sides. There are the banners and shouts of the officers on the other side of the Jushui River. The only chance is to go down the river. Not only are they more than 30 fast ships flowing from the upper level, but also more than 200 baggage ships discarded by the official army. Escape from the water is the only way to live now.

The leader rushed to the front of the crowd of people who were running for life. He came straight to an official transport ship covering the reed mat. He knew that this kind of plywood fast ship was much faster than ordinary transport ships and was most suitable for escaping.

When he jumped onto the boat and prepared to use a pole to prop the boat off the river bank, he realized something was wrong.

The reed mat behind him suddenly lifted up, and several knives were placed on the neck of the big leader.

"Yang Yu, the Tulong Army, has been waiting for a long time!" Yang Yu held a knife in one hand and blew a bamboo whistle with the other. With the sound of the whistle, hundreds of soldiers uncovered the reed mats and jumped up from the civilian boats on the bank of the river, waved their swords and sticks to face the escaped thieves.

"Don't kill me! Let's surrender!" "Let's surrender!" Seeing that the last road of life was cut off by the ambush hidden in the ship, most of the thieves immediately lost the courage to resist. Almost twice the number of people than the official army, they did not dare to raise their swords and guns to face the well-trained Tulong Army surrounded by all sides. Thousands of people dropped their weapons and knelt down to the official army.

A few bandits who still refused to surrender fled downstream along the banks of the Jushui River, but suddenly they found that there were also figures of government troops everywhere in the reeds on the banks of the river. It turned out that the officials who were guarding the baggage that escaped in the battle did not run far away, but ambushed the reeds downstream. These fish that escaped the net fell back into the two-fold scoop of the government troops before they ran a mile.

There is almost no battle at all. Jushui's thieves have all been captured by the Tulong Army.

Zheng Xian walked past the brigade of listless prisoners and picked up the official robe that was thrown away by the big leader in panic.

"The young master's official robe was made of dirt by that guy!" Zheng Xian complained while pounced on the dust on the official robe.

"Just take it back and wash it." Although Zheng Yunming, who was riding on the horse, was majestic in armor, he still did not forget to tell jokes with Zheng Xian. A piece of clothing was insignificant than a bandit who easily solved Jushui.

Most of the credits belong to Xiao Zhangliang and Yang Xuan, who was a clever and capable person.

"Unlike the official army, Jushui bandits who have transformed into thieves only have two things that are most concerned about, one is to survive and the other is to make money." At the military meeting before the expedition, Yang Xuan pointed to the Jushui topographic map and talked: "They are definitely not opponents of the Tulong Army in a head-on battle, so most of the enemies are using thieves to deal with the official army, letting our army brigade go, and plagiarizing our baggage team with the main force."

"We are just trying to make a fuss about their move. After discovering the enemy situation in the front, the deputy commander led his troops to fight, but he didn't have to go too far. After chasing for a few miles, he sent a group to continue chasing the enemy. The main force was divided into multiple routes, and with the help of the cover of the forest and grass, he retreated to the near the unloading location of the baggage fleet to ambush. The thieves came to attack later, and in order to seek wealth, there must be many people coming. Let's use these supplies as bait to give him a waiter."

The situation was exactly the same as Yang Xiao estimated. In order to block the enemy's final escape route, Yang Xiao personally led 200 elite soldiers to hide in the cabin, waiting for the thieves to suddenly come out when they were surrounded, and psychologically attacked these weak-willed guys.

Zheng Yunming thought in his mind that if this kid can learn to look at the overall situation, he will definitely be a handsome man who can stand alone in the future.

"General! There are fast horses approaching downstream! It seems to be the messenger of our army!" A Beiwei soldier who was looking at the situation downstream suddenly shouted.

As expected, the downstream was riding on the road leading to this place. Even from a distance, Zheng Yunming could tell that it was the Tulong Army's own knight.

It was indeed Han Feng who was back.

Han Feng flew to Zheng Yunming, threw the reins and said anxiously: "What happened to the military advisor!"

Bai Yijie sent Song Yichang to Huangzhou to investigate the news, but he got up and went to another place.

His destination is Pingxiang County under Yuanzhou, Jiangnan West Road. The purpose of his visit is also clear. Zheng Yunming told him that Pingxiang County has rich coal mine reserves. Once developed, it will not only provide more than surplus to various places in Jinghu, but also be able to go downstream to use in Jiangnan. Zheng Yunming was about to hurry up and hold a handicraft workshop in Jinghu. The demand for iron ore, coke and copper ore is several times higher than in previous years. There is no huge mineral supply source to carry out handicraft reforms.

Unlike Bai Yijie, who knows the resources of Jinghu Lake, Zheng Yunming is a son of an official in the capital, and only has some paper impression of the local products of local prefectures and counties. However, what is advantageous than Bai Yijie is that Zheng Yunming has historical knowledge of the next thousand years. Of course, he knows that Daye in Huangzhou has rich iron ore resources, Pingxiang in Hunan has sufficient coal mine resources, and using water to transport ore to Hanyang for processing is the best choice.
