Wait for the two to leave with the generals.

Wu Zheng held Qian Qiaogong's elbow and asked, "Your spear cavalry battalion, will you obey the order to fight to the death with our army?" ”

Qian Qiaogong said without hesitation: "If it is commanded by other people, it will never be, this more than 1,000 people have experienced several wars, Dengzhou Rebellion, Mobei Rebellion, follow me for more than two years, they are all Han people, if it is not for the family in Gyeonggi, I can even give an order and take them to join ...... I still have that confidence. ”

Wu Zheng asked, "Then what do you mean, if Shen Zhiyuan commands them, he will obey all of Shen Zhiyuan's orders?" ”

Qian Qiaogong said with annoyance: "In the past two years, Shen Zhiyuan and I have been in and out together, drinking and feasting together, and the soldiers have long regarded the two of us as one...... Hey, I knew this was the case, but I regretted it at the beginning! ”

Wu Zheng suddenly laughed, "In this way, Shen Zhiyuan's musket battalion should also be like your spear battalion?" ”

Qian Qiaogong was stunned for a moment and replied: "It stands to reason that it should be the same." ”

"That's good!" Wu Zheng said leisurely, "There are still yellow camels and Qingyin by his side, no matter how muddy he is, he can't ......go anywhere." ”

"You mean to say...... Yellow Camel and Qingyin were arranged by you by his side...... Belch. Qian Qiaogong looked at Wu Zheng in shock.

Wu Zheng looked at Qian Qiaogong quietly and said, "What do you think?" ”

……。

During this day, the situation of the war took a huge turn.

Liao Zhongping's left battalion was about 6,000 men, and after crossing the river, he quickly occupied Liuhe, which had only 300 defenders.

Subsequently, the follow-up main force that had just landed quickly interspersed Jiangpu and Yizhen with the division of troops.

Chen Sheng, who was struggling in Yizhen, finally looked forward to reinforcements.

The Ming army of the left camp came to the east and west to encircle the enemy army that was attacking Yizhen, and the enemy saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately retreated to the direction of Beitianchang when he found that the Ming army was coming to help, and since then, the siege of Yizhen has been lifted.

When he saw Liao Zhongping, Chen Shengqiang endured the mixed tastes in his heart, and punched Liao Zhongping twice in the chest.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Chen Sheng's eyes flashed with a little water, in fact, Chen Sheng had already made up his mind to fight to the death.

Liao Zhongping didn't hide, he said calmly: "You should be able to rest assured, even if you die in Yizhen, Yizhen won't be able to lose it...... Because the South Shore has me! ”

At this time, Shi Kun, who was behind Chen Sheng, suddenly took a step forward and said: "It's not a humble offense, General Liao did come a little late, our army went from Jiangdu to Yizhen, and there were bloody battles, there were only more than 2,000 people left in 5,000 people, and more than half of the casualties were killed...... So miserable! ”

Liao Zhongping was moved, "What about General Fang?" ”

Shi Kun said gloomily: "When General Fang was fighting fiercely yesterday, he was unfortunately hit by an arrow in the abdomen, but fortunately he was not injured and is being treated. ”

Chen Sheng hurriedly said: "General Liao doesn't have to care, he is a Lu Han, relying on the friendship of teachers and students and fame with the prince, he has always been not inferior, and the same is true for me...... However, if he hadn't led his troops back to Yizhen yesterday, the general would have only been able to see Chen's body today. ”

Liao Zhongping was shocked and asked, "Is it really so unbearable?" ”

Chen Sheng sighed: "The enemy army besieging Yizhen yesterday was at least more than 10,000 people, and no less than fifty Hongyi cannons were transferred, and they bombarded the city gate repeatedly...... But even so, more than 1,000 people were killed and injured in one day. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Sheng pointed at Shi Kun and said to Liao Zhongping: "I originally thought that he would take some people out of the city and return to the south, leaving some bones and blood for reconstruction, but when this guy heard the sound of cannons behind him, he actually returned...... If he hadn't attacked from the flanks and caught the besieging enemy off guard, Yizhen City would still be difficult to hold. ”

Liao Zhongping turned to Shi Kun and nodded slowly, "You...... Not bad! ”

Shi Kun was a little embarrassed, raised his hand and scratched the back of his neck, and smiled.

Liao Zhongping turned to Chen Sheng again, "I'm here, but this city is still guarded by you...... Jiangpu and Liuhe are already in my hands, and 10,000 people are enough to garrison them. When I crossed the river, I already learned that Wei Guogong had led Jianyang to defend Hezhou, so my next goal was ...... Jiangdu! ”

Chen Sheng knew that Liao Zhongping was well-intentioned, and his remnants urgently needed to rest, but he still shook his head and said: "Jiangdu is afraid that General Liao is no longer needed to attack, the First Army of the Northern Expedition has occupied Taixing and is rushing north to reinforce, Jiangdu does not have many enemy troops, and our department can recover it...... General Liao's troops are strong, so it is better to take this opportunity to quickly attack north, recover Tianchang, and break into Fengyang, so that he can definitely attract and contain the enemy's Xuzhou army and relieve the pressure on the prince to defend Huai'an City. ”

Liao Zhongping was silent for a while, looked at Chen Sheng, and asked, "Can your department still fight?" ”

Chen Sheng grinned, turned his head and asked Shi Kun, "Can you still fight?" ”

Shi Kun said loudly: "Just wait for the commander to give the order." ”

When Liao Zhongping heard this, he nodded decisively and said, "Okay." You attack Jiangdu, and I attack Tianchang. ”

……。

Compared with Yizhen, Hezhou is really an undefended place.

The whole and the state, there are a thousand enemies.

Don't talk about resistance, I heard that Xia Wanchun led Jianyang Wei to cross the river to attack, and the thousand people stationed in the garrison simply opened the city gate and surrendered.

Xia Wanchun was almost bloodless, and recovered Hezhou on the same day.

And the funny thing is that the 3,000 Qing troops stationed in Chao County, Luzhou Mansion, which borders the west side of Hezhou, learned that the Ming army crossed the river to attack, and fled to Hefei, the capital of Luzhou, without saying a word.

As a result, the main force of Jianyangwei quickly moved north, and the troops pointed directly at Chuzhou.

……。

Wu Zheng would never have imagined that this war would have turned from a small-scale revenge war into a real national war and decisive battle.

What's even more unexpected is that it is precisely because of his persistence that a chain reaction has been triggered.

The subsequent edict of the Yixing Imperial Court on the national war cleared the way for Xia Wanchun and Liao Zhongping's private dispatch of troops, smoothing out the guilt and clearing the obstacles.

Although the Yixing Imperial Court did not really send reinforcements from the Right Battalion, this edict made the soldiers of the Left Battalion and Jianyangwei have no worries, because in this way, they do not have to worry about their families being involved by themselves, and they are no longer "rebels", but are edicted to fight for the country.

It is precisely because of this that Liao Zhongping agreed to attack Tianchang in the north, but Xia Wanchun didn't even think about it, so he waved his army to Chuzhou.

At this point, the strength of the two sides in the Jiangbei battlefield reached a balance overnight, and even the Ming army had a slight advantage in troops.

But the change in the battle situation this night has not yet spread across the Yellow River, and Wu Zheng does not know, let alone say that Dolgon of Pei County has learned about the battle situation.

But at this time, Dolgon had already learned one thing, a bad news, Xinghua had fallen.

Chi Erhan and Zu Dabi encountered near Ningxiang Township, and quickly joined forces to attack Xinghua in the north.

The 3,000 Qing defenders in Xinghua, although they resisted stubbornly, were outnumbered, and after all, a river of spring water flowed eastward.
