After leaving the Celestial Shadow, Wan Dou Ni's attack began.

Three ordinary militia brigades were to occupy the villages, three squads of the militia elite brigade were to capture and defend the towns, and a garrison regiment, a field army regiment, a field brigade regiment, and his provisional field regiment were to attack from three sides.

In the villages, militia squads swept the nearby villages in companies, and without enemy troops, they captured the landlords' compounds in the villages and refused to surrender.

The landlord's compound is similar to the courtyard of an ordinary person in the later generations of the eighties, more than 30 meters wide, consisting of three main rooms, the west wing, the east wing, the front yard courtyard wall, and behind the courtyard wall is the wing room with the back and the ear room.

The company of the militia squad suppressed the enemy's roof and courtyard wall with musket fire, the enemy musketeers on the locust tree, and then used the assault team to carry the giant wood to knock open the gate, the volley of guns fired, the soldiers swarmed in, a crackling gunshot, to solve the battle, the landlord's family and the old man trembled together, waiting for the tragic fate to come.

The militia took them into custody, and then left a general flag to guard the village and mobilize the masses, and the other small general banner withdrew from the village to ambush and arrest those who fled, and the rest found a small temple outside the village to rest and recuperate, and then went to another village to help another company capture the village, or make peace with another company and continue to capture the next village.

A day later, all the militia companies except for one general flag left in the village, the one outside the village was withdrawn and rebuilt, and after the roll call, they continued to go down to the next village, clearing the remnants of the enemy from village to township.

This is a bit of a suspicion of turning the ground with a shovel, making the whole land feel like it has been gnawed by a dog, and it becomes pitted, but this is also the best way to completely eliminate the Manchu forces, and the Huaxia army has always done this.

After that, the garrison regiment and the provisional field regiment, the field regiment attacked the enemy's towns one after another, and the enemy took several county towns to sweep away the enemy's periphery in a week's time, and the enemy lost more than 5,000 villagers and landlords' families and tenants, and the enemy's strength in Yunchengfu increased, but the periphery was completely lost.

At the same time, Chen Yanjing, who knew about the great changes in Shanxi Prefecture, was greatly enraged in the capital of Bingzhou, and sent tens of thousands of Qing troops changed by the capture of Dajin State to assemble in Houma Mansion.

The enemy's vanguard of 5,000 soldiers and horses fought fiercely with a squadron of the militia's elite brigade in the outlying towns, and both sides suffered numerous casualties, and a squadron of 5,000 soldiers and horses was defeated and disabled in a week's time, leaving less than 1,500 troops.

The commander of the garrison sent a battalion of artillery and infantry of the garrison regiment to reinforce it, two more companies of 400 men to reinforce it, and a battalion of the militia squad to bring back the wounded and incapacitated soldiers, as well as some civilians who refused to leave.

Wan Douni transferred a regiment from the rear garrison brigade to reinforce them, and at the same time added a battalion of garrison regiment to the mountain pass in Vang Vieng County.

After that, he began to attack the fortified city, bombarding the enemy's city with 200 guns, 150 with solid shells, which were captured enemy artillery, 10-pounder cannons and 9-pounder guns, and 50 12-pounder cannons brought by the Huaxia army itself, with flowering shells.

The Qing army in Yuncheng Province suffered heavy losses in the artillery fire, but they still held on for some reason, perhaps they saw the determination of the Qing army to definitely reinforce them.

Yunchengfu has always been the gateway to Shanxi Prefecture, and it is the only way to attack Shanxi Prefecture from Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan Prefecture.

On the city wall, the Qing army organized nearly 10,000 landlords and bureaucrats to guard the families and tenants, and then organized the people in the city to guard the young and strong, these people were injured about 2,000 people under artillery fire, but in the face of the attack of the garrison regiment, they still returned fire with artillery and muskets, and now they have entered the era of muskets, which was originally the firearms battalion of the Qing army, but the importance of firearms troops has been a long time, so he stored a lot of gunpowder and muskets and even cannons in his lair.

The Qing army's Yuncheng Mansion Counselor is Shang Kexi's cousin and his sons, his sons inherit the tradition of the second generation of Huaxia in general, although the boss is knowledgeable, but there is no strategy and military exploits, a few other brothers can only play and frolic, some are also good at martial arts, but they have not experienced Shang Kexi's tribulations, so they are not successful, this cousin is a person who is good at speculating about his uncle, and he is very liked by Shang Kexi, so he has been promoted and appointed, and he is left to maintain the Shang family at this moment.

At this moment, Shang Mingxuan was anxious, and the henchmen he sent ventured in and out of Yuncheng Mansion several times to pass on the news of the annexation of the state capital to him, but the Qing army in Houma Mansion was heavily concentrated but could not move forward, and they were surrounded by enemy troops that were slightly inferior to their own.

Now it has entered the siege stage, and now the largest number of troops is the force of the landlord and gentry composed of those retreating stragglers, and the elite Qing soldiers under his command are less than 10,000 so far, and they can barely control the situation, but he knows that so many troops cannot confront the enemy, don't look at the enemy is a militia, a garrison, or a militia self-defense force, the main force participating in the war is only a reinforced brigade, less than 6,000 soldiers and horses, but he knows that even these troops are the enemy's heroic and good soldiers.

Those troops have been fighting with the enemy's main field army for a long time, and they are brave and good at fighting, and they also used only two militia brigades and one garrison regiment to destroy the main force of 50,000 soldiers and horses in the early stage.

This made him even less confident in this fight.

"Lieutenant Marshal be careful." With a broken drink, Shang Mingxuan was thrown down on the city wall by the guards, and a flowering bomb exploded violently on the city gate tower overhead, blowing up half of the city gate tower that had been blown up again, leaving a layer of ruins at the bottom, he was almost thrown off the city wall, and it was the guards who dragged him desperately, so that he was not blown down by the explosion waves.

Before he could stand up covered in dust, the enemy's artillery fire suddenly became more intense, nearly one hundred and fifty solid shells bombarded the middle of a section of the city wall not far from the left that had been bombarded for a day, and then dozens of flowering bombs blew up the nearby Qing soldiers into the sky, and the air wave of the explosion swept away the nearby Qing soldiers, and at the same time made the city wall crack, after a muffled sound, Shang Mingxuan watched that section of the city wall collapse with a bang.

The people and young men below the city wall, as well as a battalion of Qing soldiers waiting to go up to the city wall to support him, were all buried.

The collapse of the city walls made the battlefield suddenly quiet, and within a few breaths, the loud sound of military trumpets sounded, and the soldiers of a garrison regiment rushed forward with a single flintlock pistol, followed by a battalion of field regiment soldiers armed with a rifle in front.

"Block, block, immediately move troops to block the gap." Shang Mingxuan shouted urgently.

A few hours later, Zhang Qiang, who had returned to Zhengzhou Mansion, received a letter from Wan Douni proudly, "Yuncheng Mansion has been mastered by me, and the entire basin is already the world of the Huaxia Army." ”

Zhang Qiang disdainfully crumpled the letter and threw it aside, and said to Wang Yuqun: "This guy is very arrogant, just like your temper back then." ”

Wang Yuqun was wearing a straight general military uniform, which was full of medals and medals he had won in his service over the years, standing straight in front of Zhang Qiang, listening to his words, just rolling his eyelids, he knew that now he had become a figure that Zhang Qiang did not want to see.

No matter what he says or does, he can't change this fact, maybe this military uniform won't be able to wear for a few days, so he doesn't care about anything, what does Wan Douni do to him, he has no good feelings for the son of the second generation of officials, nor does he have any bad feelings, and he doesn't have a deep friendship.
