Datang: Royal Tyrant, Slaughtered Five Surnames and Seven Wang at the Beginning

　　Dividing the distance that a boat passed from the encirclement, Ma Tianming slowly left with his brother and the goods.

　　The rest of the goods, Cao Wang, asked his subordinates to directly carry the box into his own cabin, intending to take it back and put it directly in the hall to give the brothers a long eye.

　　But as soon as each brother picked up the box, he felt the weight of the box, and thought that it contained some amazing good things. All of them were light-handed and did not dare to be too rude, for fear of damaging the contents.

　　I just moved to the hall, Cao Wang called all his important leaders to the hall: "Today is a day of great victory, my brothers and I grabbed a batch of goods from Ma Tianming and gave everyone a long eye. , and then distribute it, let everyone have a good time~". "

　　This is such a good thing, and everyone's face is filled with excitement.

　　"The gang leader Cao is still powerful, so Ma Tianming is nothing, and he was not subdued by one move."

　　Hearing the crowd's support, Cao Wang was even more relaxed, and waved his hand: "Open it all to me."

　　The first box was pried open, and inside was a box full of big stones. This time Cao Wang felt a little stunned.

　　"Hurry up!"

　　The second box is also a stone, and the third and fourth are the same stone. Cao Wang was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked the box, but there were too many stones in it and he injured his foot instead. With a squeak of hugging toes.Cao Wang's face was gloomy: "Damn Ma Tianming, I will settle this account with you sooner or later."

　　This time, not only did the Black Tiger Gang fail to suffer losses, but he himself lost a lot of face.

　　Before, I spent a lot of money to bribe a lot of people to get such fake news. Not to mention the money, it was mainly because it was too embarrassing.

　　If this matter spreads, it is estimated that the members of the Qinglong Gang will be laughed at for a whole year. Cao Wang is so angry that he can't wait to tear Ma Tianming to pieces on the spot.

　　Li Chengqian sent people to follow the movements of the Black Tiger Gang all the time. He didn't expect the Black Tiger Gang to come up with such a bad idea. It's really a talent.

　　Li Chengqian intends to bring the person who came up with this idea into his command if he has the opportunity.

　　But the opportunity for revenge came quickly, and Cao Wang was ready to take care of Ma Tianming.

　　He made it through the way above, the above gave him some privileges, and he had a heated fight with the officials below. Recently, he spent a lot of money to send beautiful wine and beauties to the officials in charge.

　　He did what he liked, and he also sent a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings. These literati and calligraphers liked these things. Although he couldn't understand it, he still took great care to prepare the things he liked for them.

　　The money was well spent, and all of them invested in the temperament of these officials, and they all waved their hands, willing to give Cao Wang a convenience.

　　Every time Ma Tianming's ships came in and out, they would be called down by the officials, and they would be scrutinized.

Chapter 472

　　The people on the boat dared not speak their minds. All the money was sprinkled on them, and they had to pay for it. If there were some minor problems or something was found out by them, half of the goods would be confiscated directly, one after another. Several times, causing great losses to the brothers.

　　The most serious one was when the brothers in the gang had to bring some personal goods and send them to Chang'an to do business and make a small sum of money.

　　This time, the brothers were careless. Usually, officers and soldiers would not check carefully, and they could pass through with a few taels of silver, but this time, the wooden boards on the deck were pried open.

　　The inspecting officers and soldiers found a lot of personal cargo carried in the cabin, and directly detained the entire ship, not only to compensate for the cost of transporting the food, but also to pay a fine.

　　The Black Tiger Gang could not bear the fine. One fine was forty or fifty taels, enough for dozens of people to eat and drink for a year. 317

　　Ma Tianming knew that this period of time was not peaceful, but he did not expect Cao Wang to stretch his hand so long.

　　It's not that Ma Tianming didn't know him well, but this time he handed over the money and wanted to ask for some news, but the other party refused to accept it. For the sake of years of cooperation, he secretly told them that he had provoked the big man above.

　　It was only after he dismounted Ma Tianming that he realized that it must be the black hand behind Cao Wang's back. I had long heard that he had recently climbed up to a big man above him, and now it seems that he spent the money on himself.

　　The other brothers who are anxious, look for Ma Tianming every day: "Help Master, it will not be a problem for a long time. Every time you pass, you will be found wrong by those officials."

　　"No matter how rich you are (bfei), you can't stand such a toss. You can see that during this period of time, the money I give to those people is more than ten, twenty or two. How much can I get a year! Help master, you have to think about it. Method."

　　Encountering such a thing, Ma Tianming can't do anything about it. If he wants to put money in, no one dares to accept it. What can he do?

　　Although he knew that the Qinglong Gang was going to take revenge, Ma Tianming couldn't resist going the way above.

　　During this period of time, the two gangs rubbed more severely because of quarreling with each other. As long as they met, a fight was inevitable.

　　But the waterway is so big, and there are so many people coming and going, how can you not touch it, so the two groups of people are miserable.

　　Ma Tianming wanted to solve everything at one time, and decided to ask Cao Wang to end it completely.

　　He wrote a battle invitation and sent it to Cao Wang.

　　"The two gangs have a long history of grievances, but there is always a solution. We might as well follow the rules of the Cao Gang to fight, about twenty-five, and each side will send [-] people to win the match."

　　Although the number of [-] people is less than half of the entire Cao Gang, it will also cause heavy losses to the entire gang.

　　The loser of this agreement is automatically merged into another gang.

　　This is exactly what Cao Wang is thinking. Although Cao Wang has the upper hand recently, he needs to spend money to get through the relationship. Although it feels good to win Ma Tianming, it costs a lot.

　　Recently, some members of the gang can't support it anymore. He has spent almost the savings of the past two years, and he can't support it if he continues. Besides, many brothers in the gang also have opinions.

　　It happened that Ma Tianming's decision handed him a life-saving straw.

　　Although Ma Tianming wanted to fight him, why didn't Cao Wang think so, if he wins, it's best, if he loses, he is not willing to submit to Ma Tianming's hands.

　　Still want to use the power of the trustee to take down these people in one fell swoop, he will be the only gang leader on the entire Jiangnan waterway.

Chapter 473

　　As long as there is nothing to fear except Ma Tianming, this time he deliberately paid a lot of money to buy officers and soldiers along the way to help him.

　　Li Chengqian also inquired about the news of the battle between the two sides in advance, and led five hundred soldiers to find a hidden place in the outer shoal to hide and wait for the battle.

　　The two sides were ready to go. On the day of the decisive battle, each wore the clothes of each other's camps.

　　Because of the number of people agreed in advance, the two sides are actually equal in strength.

　　Ma Tianming has always been very cautious in his work. The most important formation in water battles is also skills. When the strength of the two sides is comparable, he will adapt to changes.

　　As long as one's own side does not make mistakes and deal with it step by step, the other side is definitely not an opponent.

　　Moreover, the two sides have fought before, although there is no guarantee, but according to the understanding of the Qinglong Gang, as long as he does not mess around, it is only a matter of time to win him.

　　What caught Ma Tianming's attention the most was that the other party sent a large ship.

　　Unexpectedly, the Qinglong Gang has such hidden strength. Generally speaking, building a large ship is not only limited by the limitations of technology, time and money, but more importantly, it often requires an investment of hundreds of taels~gold to build a large ship.

　　For their bandits who came from ordinary families, if they had the funds and capital, they would not be bandits at all-.

　　Although the other party has a big boat, in Ma Tianming's view, this big boat is a mascot for shock and deterrence.

　　But in fact, this collision not only requires a high level of handling, but also requires an experienced helmsman to constantly find the direction of the upper wind. Once the wind is not enough, it will limit the ability of the ship.

　　And a move will limit the battlefield. For artificially excavated waterways like this, there is simply not enough space to complete the move.

　　Therefore, this big ship is used to intimidate one's own side. Sure enough, looking at the faces of his subordinates, he knew that this big ship still caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on them. After all, it was a symbol of the opponent's strength and ability.

　　For bandits who run rampant on waterways like them, small boats are the best combat tools. Although they carry a small number of people, they are flexible and easy to control. For people like them who have been driving on waterways for a long time, they are very handy. It will also be the main force in this battle.

　　Sure enough, the horn sounded, and more than a dozen boats from both sides rushed out, intertwined and fought together.

　　Because of the special nature of the Caodao, they usually do not attack from a distance. All small boats are intertwined in melee combat, jumping onto the deck and killing each other with big swords.

　　If it is a long-distance attack, it is easy to accidentally injure one's own people in a crowded situation, which is not the best choice.

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

　　The two sides have played against each other before, so they also have a good understanding of the strength of the other side. This is intertwined, and the two sides are evenly matched, each with casualties.

　　But when the kill was halfway through, the opponent suddenly rushed out of a small boat with fire.

　　Suddenly rushed towards the ship of the Black Tiger Gang.

　　Now is the time when the weather is dry and the things are most likely to catch fire.

 …  

　　And looking at the fire of the boat, it is estimated that as long as it touches the boat of the Black Tiger Gang, it will burn, not to mention that in such a narrow waterway, the boats are often connected one after the other.

Chapter 474

　　In a hurry, Ma Tianming shouted: "Quickly retreat and leave each other a little bit."

　　He secretly hated, this time Cao Wang's attack was really ruthless, he would rather burn his own ships, kill one thousand enemies and damage eight hundred and so insidious tricks to harm others.

　　But it was too late, and the wind just happened to be heading towards the Black Tiger Gang, and the burning boat collided with the Black Tiger Gang's boat.

　　"Wow", the fire exploded.

　　No way, the people on the deck had to jump into the water desperately to escape, swimming around on both sides.

　　But a waterway like [-] is too narrow. It originally accommodated more than a dozen boats from both sides, and they were congested with each other. Not to mention dodging, even moving back and forth was a little stretched.

　　He could only watch helplessly as his own ship was set on fire.

　　This is a trick that Cao Wang has prepared for a long time. He has been hesitant at first. After all, the cost of this is too high, and it has never been used before, so it is estimated that there will be great risks.

　　But the people under him gave him advice.

　　"There is risk to gain."

　　Cao Wang thought about the silver taels he offered for this victory and the shame he had lost last time. He was cruel, and it was a big deal to burn a boat in vain. He could afford this loss.

　　Sure enough, today, God helped him, the wind was just in the direction of the Black Tiger Gang, the fire became more and more intense, and several successive boats were set on fire. Only the farthest boats were far away. fire.

　　But Cao Wang wanted more than just a few boats. He directly sent other boats to block the way of the Black Tiger Gang boats.

　　The situation at this time was very unfavorable for the Black Tiger Gang, and Ma Tianming frowned.

　　Now the Qinglong Gang and his party have blocked the back of the Black Tiger Gang's ships, and blocked the left and right sides. There is a burning ship in the middle, and they can't get close at all.

　　They basically cut off the Black Tiger Gang's way forward, and the situation was so severe that Ma Tianming had to face it head-on.

　　Since the other party has cut off the way back and does not want to leave the Black Tiger Gang alive, then it must not be reversed, upstream, and surrounded by the left and right sides. If you want to rush out, you need to turn the direction.

　　But now there are ships everywhere, and it is impossible to turn around. The longer the time is, the more passive there is. Now there is only one direction left, which is the direction of the fleet led by Cao Wang.
