These thousands of people joined Chen Daxi's Twist Army, which made Chen Daxi's mood improve. It turned out that this army was all from the area of Runing Mansion. followed Sun Kuixin, the leader of the Anhui Twist Army, but Sun Kuixin had just died. Therefore, these twisted troops heard that Chen Daxi had also planted a flag in their hometown Pingyu Street, and the momentum was huge, so they returned to their hometown and defected to Chen Daxi. The troops of the subordinate units have been on the battlefield for a long time and have very strong combat effectiveness, which has added a lot to the color of Chen Daxi's troops. Chen Daxi decided to storm Runing Mansion.

After the failure of Chen Daxi's plan, the Runing government urgently transferred the general Bai Ying to lead the troops to garrison, and transferred the regiment to practice the defense, and the defense was very tight. In order to capture Runing Mansion, Chen Daxi notified Wang Yuguo, the lord of the Black Flag, Fenglin, the Lord of the Yellow Banner, and Wang Dianshu, the lord of the Blue Flag, to work together to attack the city. There is a Dongguan village in Runing Mansion City, the wall is solid, the Ru River is a moat, and there are many giant merchants and gentry who live. At the second watch that night, a group of old people and women came to the gate of the village with their children in their arms, claiming that they were chased by the twisters, fled here, and asked to open the door. Defending Dongguan Village are Bai Ying and Liao Yuntai, hearing this, making people put lights up from the village to check. At this time, the sound of people outside the gate of the village suddenly boiled, and the fire soared into the sky. The group of old men and women under the village used artillery and rockets to attack the village one by one. The officers and soldiers on the village bombarded the artillery downward, and the Twist army suffered quite a lot of casualties. When the sky was slightly bright, the Twist army captured the walled bridge, elevated a ladder on the bridge, and attacked the wall. The Twist Army in other places also crossed the trench and launched an all-out attack on the city. Seeing that the general situation was about to end, Liao Yuntai and Qi Zhiquan hurriedly notified the regimental training from all over the Quartet to come over for reinforcements.

At dawn, Chen Daxi was attacking the city, and suddenly heard a report: "Xu Dongsheng and Zhao Fangce led the Saihu Battalion to pounce from the west of the city, and the momentum was very fierce" These two people are the local tyrants of Hanzhuang in the west of Ruyang. The two organizations jointly practiced in the village and called themselves the "Tiger Racing Battalion". Daxi heard this, and decided to annihilate these regimental exercises first, and then attack Runing City, so he sent a team of men and horses to lure the enemy, preparing to attack inside and outside. This group of men and horses is led by me and Chen Wen, and they are only allowed to lose but not win. After training with these regiments, before they could fight, the archery team I led immediately withdrew to the east after discharging a few hundred arrows. These two people were anxious for quick success, and when they saw us retreating, they pursued us relentlessly, and soon entered the ambush circle of Chen Daxi in the east of the city, and then fought. In the middle of the battle, Chen Wen and I rushed westward, shouting to take the nest of the two of Han Zhuang. When the two heard this, they didn't dare to fight, so they immediately returned to the division to rescue, and Chen Daxi took the opportunity to chase and kill. When Xu and Zhao came to the Ru River, they found that the riverbank had been blocked by Wang Yuguo's department, and the regimental warriors were suddenly unable to form an army. Zhao Fangce died in the chaos, and when Xu Dongsheng fled to Kangdian, there were only four Tuan Yong left under his command. He was chased by the Twist Army and hacked to death with a knife.

Subsequently, the village was broken, the hooligans and ruffians in the village who oppressed the people and fought for the tigers were eliminated, the poor people were released, and all the food and property were removed and distributed to the people. Although the stockade of Xu and Zhao was eliminated, the Qing Dynasty reinforcements and landlord regiments had already concentrated on Runing Mansion, and it was difficult to attack Runing Mansion for a while. Chen Daxi decided to first sweep away all the regimental training landlord forces in Runing Realm and the surrounding areas, and isolate Runing Mansion. So Chen Daxi and the leaders attacked everywhere and got rid of the landlords and gentry's stockades. The captured stockades were all stationed with the Twist Army, which were horns and took care of each other.

When the army eliminated many inferior gentry villages, there was a Guanzhuang village in the west of Runing, the local tyrant named Zhang Guoben, the family was very rich, there was a lot of food, and the big fights went in and out on weekdays, molesting women, who had a beautiful woman found by him, and he couldn't escape. In order to resist the Twist Army, he collected local ruffians and hooligans everywhere to organize group training, with more than 1,000 people. Because many people in the Twist Army had bullied him, the people were very angry, so Chen Daxi decided to capture Guanzhuang Village. One is to avenge everyone, and the other is to get a huge amount of money and food. Helplessly, the ditch outside the village is full of water, and the wall is full of rotten egg trees (aka: wolfberry stinky orange stinky orange, multi-slash, two or three meters high, dense bushes), and it can not be laid down for a while. Later, there were constantly Pegasus breaking through in the village, and Chen Daxi knew that this was a soldier asking for help, but he also let him go in and out, and did not pursue the ambush.

One day, Tan Ma reported to Chen Daxi, saying that thousands of Qing reinforcements had arrived in Runing City, and Yin Qizhiquan ordered Liao Yuntai, the magistrate of the county, to come to Guanzhuang Village to suppress it. Great joy to hear. It turned out that he had already had an idea. Wang Yuguo and Wang Dianshu, who had just taken down Wang Huo Village, left some people to guard the village, and the other personnel pretended to besiege Guanzhuang Village, and they took the elite army to the wild boar gang between Runing Mansion and Guanzhuang Village to ambush. ------ Wild Boar Gang road is circuitous, undulating, forest and grass, and there is a big river on the side, which is a good place for ambush. Liao Yuntai was about to take the army by surprise, so he marched overnight to launch a sneak attack. Soon, they went deep into Chen Daxi's encirclement. A cannon rang out, and there was a sound of killing in all directions. Artillery, bows and arrows were fired, and the Qing army suddenly made a mess, like headless flies, not knowing where to flee. Subsequently, the soldiers of the Twist Army rushed down the Tugang, got out of the grass, and slaughtered the Qing army. The battle lasted until dawn, and in addition to being killed by artillery arrows, many of the Qing soldiers were trampled to death by their own people and fell into the water. Thousands of Qing soldiers were all annihilated, and although Liao Yuntai escaped under the death protection of three or four relatives, he was already covered in bruises and unconscious.

In this battle, the frightened prefect of Runing was frightened and couldn't sleep at night. When the governor of Henan learned of this, he thought that the thieves were becoming more and more powerful, and it was only advisable to eliminate them in advance, not to make them full-fledged. Urgently ordered Zheng Yuanshan, the political envoy, and Zhang Yao, a Taoist, to lead the elite Qing soldiers to suppress it. Zhang Yao garrisoned Jinxiangbu, five miles away from Wang Huozhai. Zheng Yuanshan garrisoned Yaowan Village eight miles away from Wang Huozhai, and they took care of each other as horns. Since then, the Qing army and the Twist army have fought every day, and there have been casualties among each other. The Qing army gathered many times to storm Wang Huo Village, and the "cannon stones rained" on the Twist Army Village, causing heavy casualties to the Qing army. After the Twist Army attacked Jinxiangbu, the Shangcai landlord regiment practiced volunteering to meet the enemy, but was killed by the Twist Army for a while, and was almost wiped out. The Twist Army gathered more than 7,000 cavalry and infantry to besiege Jinxiangbu, and Zhang Yao ordered Su Qian and Liu Zishun to fight to resist the enemy, but they were outflanked by the Twist Army's deception. Su Qian was wounded by Wang Yuguo and fled. Liu Zishun was injured by Wang Dianzhong and rescued by Zhang Yao.

Since then, Fang has known that the Twist Army is powerful and cannot be defeated. He wrote to Yan Shusen to ask for more troops. At the same time, Runing, Xiping, Shangcai, and Sui were transferred to help in the war. Governor Yan Shusen received the report and added more than 5,000 troops to help the war. Zheng Yuanshan and Zhang Yao adjusted their tactics and decided to sneak attack the weak stockade of the Twist Army first. So, he ordered the general Bai Ying, Zhang Tong and others to lead the troops to take the Gaoping Temple.

Gaoping Temple was defended by more than 2,000 people including me and Chen Wen, and Wang Huozhai was each other's horns. When Chen Daxi was fighting, we were responsible for containing the Qing soldiers in Runing Mansion. Because of the successive victories, we have all let our guard down. I didn't expect that Henan would increase troops, let alone that Zheng and Zhang would come to attack our stockade. At night, Bai and Zhang suddenly surrounded the stockade. When we learned of this, we urgently ordered the soldiers to defend themselves. But the stockade couldn't resist the bombardment of the Qing soldiers, and it didn't take long. Zhang Tong has broken into the village with a flying horse. Chen Wen met him and slashed at Zhang Tong, but he dodged and only hit his shoulder, and Zhang Tong fell off his horse and fled on foot. Then Bai Ying led a large number of Qing troops into the stockade, unstoppable, we hurriedly retreated, and then the battle began, but the most Zhang Gaoping Temple was lost. More than half of our army suffered casualties, and all equipment, money, and food were taken away.

Worried about the loss of other villages, Chen Daxi ordered Shi Buguang to bring 500 men and horses to Huangbu Town for reinforcements, so as to return to the rear of Zheng Yuanshan and Zhang Yao. After Zhang Yao saw it, he personally led the cavalry to pursue, but was killed by Shi Buguang and the Huangbu Zhen Twist Army, lost countless corpses, and fled back cunningly. Chen Daxi personally led more than 2,000 troops to attack Yaowanzhai, but Zheng Yuanshan did not dare to face it. Zhang Yao ordered Wu Yuanbing, Bao Ying, Yu Wanming, Wang Tailai, Zhou Denggao, and other Qing generals to reinforce them. Qing general Zhang Qinhai swung his knife straight at Chen Daxi, but Chen Daxi flashed by, grabbed it and threw it on the ground, and captured him alive. Zhang Yao was furious and fought Chen Daxi in person, and after a few rounds, Zhang Yao was timid and stepped down. Ordered Su Qian to lead the cavalry around the rear of our army to sneak attack. Su Qian got the order, and when he was about to go to the rear. But Wang Dianshu, who was guarding the village of Wang Huozhai, saw it, and immediately led the troops out of the village to kill the Qing soldiers. Both armies were viciously killed, and both suffered heavy casualties. The battle lasted until the afternoon, when Zhang Qinhai was beheaded. Wang Dianshu was seriously wounded by a gunshot, and Chen Daxi escorted him back to Wang Huozhai to station.

During this period, only a few hundred Qing soldiers continued to lure us out of the village, and we expected that they were luring the enemy into the trap and ignored them. Unexpectedly, suddenly one night and four watches, the soldiers guarding the village found that the black pressure outside the village was full of people and horses, and immediately hit the alarm, and we jumped up and entered the battle. At this time, the fire outside the village was full of light, stretching for several miles, and I don't know how many Qing soldiers there were. They bombarded the village with artillery, and the others set up ladders to prepare to go up the village. By the light of the fire, we also shelled them with arrows and bows on the wall. The Qing soldiers who climbed to the wall of the wall were also cut down by our soldiers. At this time, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the sound of cannons and the roar of people and horses resounded through the night sky. Zhang Yao led the main force to attack Xizhai Gate. Qing generals Zhou Denggao, Su Qian, Wang Tailai and others took shields and knives on their backs and prepared to enter the village along the ladder. Chen Daxi asked the Twist Army to meet the enemy, and on the other hand, he personally ran to the West Gate to help in the battle. At this time, the west gate has been opened by artillery, and the general Ji Chang and Qiu Chang have all rushed into the wall. The great joy made the spear meet it, and the spear was all under the horse. Ji Chang was shocked and hurriedly retreated. At this time, the village was full of fire. It turned out that when the West Gate was broken, there were Qing soldiers with tinder and wearing civilian clothes to take the opportunity to blend into the village, and set fire at this time. Daxi didn't know why, thinking that the village was broken and lost, and he was shocked. When the Qing army saw the fire in the village, they knew that they were in good hands, so they poured in like a sea of mountains. Chen Daxi rode his horse and fled in a hurry, so that the Twist Army was optimistic about the path and fled towards the east gate. At the same time, Wang Yuguo, Wang Baowei and others led the twisted army to break through from the east gate first.

After the Qing army entered the village, it was like a victorious cat and a tiger, and they rushed in to kill it regardless of whether it was good or bad. The crowd of people is like a fire tide, and it can't be stopped. I never thought that there were many roads in the village, and many people fell into the dark ditches and pits. The pits and ditches are full of bamboo sticks and nails, and the early ones that fell down gave them a thorough cold, and the ones that fell later also went deep into the bones or were pierced by their hands and feet, crying there and calling their mothers. These individuals came fiercely, and when they found that the people in front of them had fallen into the trap, they couldn't stop at all, and groups of people were squeezed into the trap by the people behind. In the inner room of the village, the musket and bow team led by my Luo Jie are waiting. Those who did not fall into the trap had already eaten our arrows. Although there were not many enemies, it also made the Qing soldiers dare not move forward. Of course, this is all my credit------ I have been studying in traps all these years, and musket practice is not in vain! At this time, the Qing army had already captured the north and south walled walls, encircling us on three sides, and all of us had to withdraw to the east gate. Outside the east gate, Wang Yuguo, Wang Baowei and others just ran out of the stockade, and they met the group training of Baoying and Li Zhongkui, as well as Shangcai and Ruyang, and the two sides began to fight fiercely. The Twist army in our village was surrounded between the ponds, and the Qing army used muskets and bows to attack each other, and both sides suffered casualties. Unexpectedly, the Qing army shelled us from the walls of the south and north, and we suffered heavy casualties. Seeing this, Chen Daxi urgently ordered Chen Wen to lead the elite to break through from the northeast of the village, and attack behind the Qing soldiers. Chen Wen launched an artillery bombardment on the Qing soldiers who were bombarding us, and suddenly the Qing soldiers' artillery was dumbfounded. Subsequently, Chen Wen rushed towards the east gate with his men and horses, the sound of killing shook the sky, and he shouted in his mouth, the Anhui Twist Army is coming, and the Anhui Twist Army is coming. In the night, people shouted horses, menacing, the east gate of the regimental training (no battlefield experience) thought that it was really Anhui twist army arrived, suddenly panicked, crying dad and shouting mother, running around. Wang Yuguo took the opportunity to kill and disperse the Qing soldiers, and moved to the southeast together with the Twist Army in the village.

After walking a short distance, Zhang Yao had already led his troops to catch up, and Chen Daxi took me and the musket and archery team to break the rear in person, and fought and left, ordering other soldiers to ambush in Liuliuwan. Zhang Yao saw that we had abandoned the stockade and that we were already defeated, so he continued to pursue. When they chased to Liuliuwan, the artillery fired in unison, and the sound of killing was loud. Zhang Yao knew that he had been ambushed and urgently ordered to retreat. But we chased and killed them for a while, resulting in countless casualties among the Qing soldiers. At this time, it was already dawn. Chen Daxi took us back to Pingyu Street. In this battle, both the Qing soldiers and our Twist Army suffered heavy casualties. Wang Huozhai is even more bloody, and the bones are heavy.
