The third battalion of Dongchang, which had traveled more than 100 miles and killed several times in the past few days, finally rested all night in Hejian Mansion, ate enough, slept enough, and recovered the spirit of the people and horses to their peak.

In the early morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Chang Yu led the second battalion of men and horses out of the city from the south gate, Wu Zhong grabbed Lao Jiu's clothes at the gate of the city and said something viciously, and finally shook his head and left.

Jiang Fa asked for goodness, and approached and asked, "Why are you so unhappy?"

"I wanted to take these cubs to make more meritorious contributions and earn more money, hey......"

"The overseer said that defending the city for ten days is a great achievement, which is much easier than us traveling long distances to fight everywhere, you should be happy" Jiang Fa comforted.

"How can you come out to kill people in the city" Wu Zhong snorted and slapped the horse forward, the corners of Jiang Fa's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but shudder, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that the sword saint was once a coward, and it was really ruthless!

Hejian Prefecture has ten counties and two prefectures, and it goes south to Dezhou, passing through Xianxian, Fucheng, and Jingzhou, all of which are enemy-occupied areas, but this kind of small city under its jurisdiction does not have a garrison to support puppets to maintain law and order.

Chang Yu led the second battalion to gallop, arrived at the county in the middle of the afternoon, and Tu Yuan led more than ten subordinates to pretend to be a thief army to explore the horse into the city to investigate that there was no garrison.

In the evening, when he arrived in Fucheng County, he concocted and killed more than ten puppets, but this time it was Wu Zhong who led the team, seeing that it was getting late, and when everyone discussed whether to rest in Fucheng, there was information to: Jizhou (now Jizhou District, Hengshui City), a hundred miles southwest, nearly 10,000 thieves gathered, and traces of thieves were also found in Jingzhou City ahead.

Chang Yu heard the decisive order to rest in Fucheng, as soon as he entered the city, he immediately closed the city gate, and the two battalions each stayed at the gate overnight, and he led more than ten relatives to enter the county government.

"The thief army gathered a large army in Jizhou, it is self-evident that it is to deal with the officers and soldiers in Dezhou a hundred miles away in the southeast" Chang Yu nodded on the map: "We are still less than fifty miles away from Dezhou, and there is Jingzhou City in the middle, and the thief army that appears there must be the vanguard, and the purpose is also to prevent the officers and soldiers from going north."

said and pounded the table angrily: "The dignified 50,000 horses were so frightened by some thieves that they didn't dare to take a step forward, it's a shame for them!" ”

Everyone was indignant, thinking that they were fighting alone in Taiyuan every time they went out of the city, and they wanted to dare to force tens of thousands of iron horsemen of the Qing army outside the pass with 500 heavy armor soldiers.

"Governor, my subordinates are unknown, since the thieves have discovered that there are officers and soldiers heading north, why don't they gather a large army and wait in Hejian Mansion, but instead in Jizhou, a hundred miles away on the west side?" Tu Yuan asked.

Chang Yu's eyes swept a few times on the map, and after a little contemplation, he said: "The thieves swept most of Hebei from Henan all the way north, led the main force Chen soldiers to Baoding City, and the cities that have been captured are not many people left behind, and the small cities are three or five hundred, and the mansion cities are thousands of people, and when he heard that there are officers and soldiers going north to support Baoding, he did not have time to transfer the main force to the south to stop, but gathered troops nearby to confront, and the tens of thousands of troops in Jizhou should be temporarily put together from Shunde Mansion (now Xingtai) and Guangping Mansion (now Handan) in the south."

"There is also Zhending Mansion" Wu Zhong added, Chang Yu gave him a blank look: "When I was in Dingxing, the scout had already said that it was Ren Jirong and other thieves who captured Zhending Mansion, and they pursued Zhou Yuji to Dingzhou, how could they come here, don't you have long ears?" ”

Wu Zhong's face couldn't help but turn red, slightly embarrassed.

"That is to say, the thief army mobilized surrounding forces to block the reinforcements at this time, but they just hurried to Jizhou, and their final destination was to establish a defensive line in Jingzhou, just north of Dezhou, to prevent the reinforcements from going north, is this what it means" Tu Yuan asked again.

Chang Yu nodded and shook his head: "Not necessarily!" Preventing reinforcements from going north to relieve the siege of Baoding Mansion is certainly one of them, but Li Zicheng is more worried that the reinforcements will suddenly go west, although he has captured dozens of large and small cities, but first, the foundation is unstable, and secondly, there are not many garrisons, if the reinforcements go west to recover those lost territories, his efforts in the past few months will not be in vain. If the officers and soldiers take advantage of the situation to recover Guangping Mansion, Shunde Mansion will form a flanking attack on him in the north, wouldn't it be very bad, so he deployed troops in Jizhou, in fact, to prevent reinforcements from going west, but Liu Zeqing and a few cowards were really frightened by him, they didn't dare to move forward, they didn't dare to leave and right, they stood still and even wanted to turn around and run! ”

Everyone realized that Li Zicheng was stationed on the northwest border of Hebei and Shandong, first, the officers and soldiers went north to rescue Baoding Mansion, and second, the defense went west to his backyard to recover the lost territory.

Chen Wangting lowered his eyebrows and said suddenly: "That is the case, the overseer will transfer troops to Dezhou, not go north first, and go directly to the west to recover the lost territory, so that he can break into the thief's position, how can he not panic if there is a fire in the backyard, this should be regarded as the siege of Wei to save Zhao in the art of war."

"It's a little interesting," Chang Yu sighed slightly, since he learned the news of the reinforcements from Shi Kefa outside Baoding City, he made up his mind to formulate a general tactic: when he imitated Ning Yuan, Shi Kefa was in charge of him and outside, the difference is that there is no Xishan fortress outside Baoding City, he wants to fight guerrilla warfare and go to Texas to transfer troops to fight a roundabout war!

Li Zicheng besieged Baoding with heavy troops, then he surrounded it with several forces of men and horses and gradually regained the lost territory at the same time, it is ridiculous that Li Zicheng is greedy and can't chew too much, and he can't digest it for a while to lay down such a large territory in a month, and there are not so many troops to garrison, Chang Yu is determined to set fire to his backyard, and then blow him up.

The way south was to pass through Jingzhou, and the scouts had detected an unknown number of thieves, and it was expected that the vanguard from Jizhou was arranging a defensive line, or bluffing to scare the officers and soldiers into reinforcements.

How to get over? Everyone had a slight headache, and then they were arrogant, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Qing army had done it, so why not be afraid of some thieves, just go over in a big way, and see if they can stop it.

The idea was set, Chang Yu ordered the whole army to rest well, eat and drink well, sleep well, and go south out of the city early in the morning, pass through Jingzhou to Dezhou to transfer troops and send generals, and do a big job.

The next morning, the second battalion left the city, and the people of Fucheng, who had been nervous for a long night, took a long breath, and said in their hearts that this army of officers and soldiers had really done nothing in the autumn, and the sun really came out of the west.

Tu Yuan led the Black Tiger Battalion to open the way in front, and when he reached more than ten miles away, he saw more than ten cavalry approaching, and he must be a thief spies, so he beckoned and shouted.

The thief did not know the depth and saw that the strange outfit was not a soldier or a thief, and he did not want to approach, but he saw that the other party was not hostile, and which friendly army should be coming from the north, so he was recruited.

"Brothers, which way ......" As soon as the leader of the probe horse spoke, an arrow pierced through the air, and the rest were frightened and just wanted to escape, and then they were all shot.

Bah! Tu Yuan spat at the foam: "I'll send you on the road!" ”

The more thieves he encounters the further he goes south, Tu Yuan eats all over the world with one move, he can deceive him into shooting and killing, and if he can't deceive him, he will chase and cut it, anyway, he is close to the territory of Texas, and he does not hide his whereabouts at all, and he swaggers all the way, killing four or five thieves in less than twenty miles, and his whereabouts are finally exposed.

There are still ten miles to Jingzhou City, there is a big river blocking the road, the river bank is green and grassy, the weather is dry and the water is shallow, the two battalions of people and horses wade across the river, look at Jingzhou City from afar and see a group of people and horses rushing to come.

Chang Yu swept his eyes coldly, and said lightly: "Kill the past."

There are about 1,000 thieves, and it should be that the thieves stationed in Jingzhou City heard that there were unknown people who had been coming north, and they would be killed when they met someone.

Chang Yu took the heavy armored cavalry of the Gongzi battalion as the lead, easily broke through the opponent's position, Tu Yuan led the black tiger battalion to cover the past, and more than a thousand thieves were defeated in the blink of an eye, fleeing towards Jingzhou City.

As for the two miles under the city, it is clearly visible that there are thieves in the city watching and watching, and there are thousands of black pressure and oppression, and everyone can't help but gasp: such a projectile city is actually stationed with thousands of thief troops, how crowded it is!

The so-called hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal ones are afraid of not dying, and the thief army in the city saw that this unknown army and horse were murderous, and easily broke through a thousand with only three or four hundred troops, but they were so frightened that they couldn't retreat, and they didn't come out to rescue the rout soldiers outside the city.

However, Chang Yu did not chase and kill, and when he reached two miles outside the city, he passed by and went straight to the south, and the thief army in the city watched them disappear before they dared to open the door and collect the troops.
