Chapter 167: Caught off guard [Seeking Collection]

Zhao Yongji has collected a full 2,000 defeated troops in Xinyang City these days, this number is quite amazing, and it is beyond his and Yongrui's expectations. It is foreseeable that when all the defeated soldiers converge in Xinyang, the number will definitely exceed 3,000.

This made Xinyang City, which made people's hearts panic, and the defeated soldiers who were heartbroken were all shocked. It's a pity that Zhao Yongji and Yongrui didn't investigate the reasons in detail, they didn't find that all the defeated soldiers went from Shangcai to Ruyang, from Ruyang to Queshan, or directly hit Xiping and ran to Queshan, and they never found Chen's horse team again.

……

"Boom-" The tiger squat cannon exploded, and countless iron pellets flew out in the roar, quickly reaping the lives of a wave of panicked Anhui Qing soldiers. In the distance, Chen Ming saw blood splashing in the telescope, and after seeing the sound of the cannonball, the prancing horse team that rushed up smiled smugly.

The completely defenseless Qing army in Anhui was caught off guard by its own sudden killing.

With a bang, there was a panicked scream from the crowd of Qing soldiers in the distance, and an explosive bag tumbled and fell into the crowd, bursting shock waves and bursting iron projectiles that flew away, destroying the withering and decaying. A full two or three hundred militia groups scattered and fled.

After the second battle of Yuncheng, the morale of the Qing soldiers and militia in Anhui was completely low and could not be lowered any longer, and when Chen Huizu received the news of the defeat of the Qing army in the Battle of Rolling River, he hurriedly led his troops back to Chenzhou, and the remaining 1,000 militia regiments slipped away halfway. Now he was caught off guard and was attacked and killed by Chen Jiajun, and the rear team collapsed directly.

Chen Ming only has five or six hundred horse teams, and the quality is really worrying, running all the way from Shangcai to the boundary of Chenzhou Mansion, hundreds of miles of road also makes the horsepower almost exhausted, otherwise he would really dare to chase the defeated army through the entire team of Anhui Qing soldiers.

Li Tai avoided a small team of horses with cannons, gasped and ran wildly with dozens of his own personal soldiers, and fled into the grove in a panicked battlefield. Although it is not clear whether this thin forest can hold off the flying cannonballs, it is psychologically safer. When he arrived here, he could finally stop and take a breath, and turned his head to look at the henchmen of the soldiers around him, many of them had lost their weapons, staring at him in a panic, surrounded by groups of fleeing Anhui green battalions and militias, and the wounded on the ground were ignored.

"Fuck it!" Li Tai cursed fiercely. Chen Jiajun's firepower is too strong. The battalion leader he led rushed through for a while, and he had already been hit by the Chen family's firearms, and now it was not uncommon for the Chen family's horse team carrying small cannons to be crushed by the Chen family's army in a hurry. Not to mention being killed in the vicinity, just a burst of artillery bombardment and a series of grenade explosions, the head of his battalion completely collapsed, and then Li Tai saw that the entire rear team of more than 1,000 people quickly followed in his footsteps.

Li Tai settled down, looking for an opportunity to escape from life.

"......Boom" The three flying thunder cannons roared again, and the three huge explosive packets drew three arcs and fell towards the Qing army team seventy or eighty meters away. Chen Ming looked at the unusually slow Qing soldiers' cheeks to twitch, the morale of this team is too low, and the officials are even more incompetent, always hesitating, they dare not escape, they dare not fight desperately, and they almost drag the team in place without moving, isn't this looking for bombing.

Chen Ming led the horse team to defeat the rear team of the Qing soldiers, it seemed that it took a very short time, but no matter how short it was, there would be a quarter of an hour or two, right? The current head of the camp is standing still? But seeing the Qing soldiers who scattered in a hurry before the explosives package landed, Chen Ming suspected that they stayed where they were and did not flee or attack, was it because they still had an excuse for this shell?

After three huge roars, three puffs of yellow dust and smoke rose from the ground, and the Qing soldiers around the landing point of the three explosives were all blown to pieces, and severed limbs and broken arms flew everywhere.

The Qing soldiers fled faster, and they didn't even look at the wounded who fell on the ground, one by one the wounded soldiers broke their hands and feet, or exposed their white bones, torn bright red muscles, and blood gushing out of their wounds.

The screams of exhaustion continued, and another explosive bag landed in the ranks of the Qing soldiers, adding a pile of stumps and a puddle of blood to the ground.

Chen Huizu was very close to Chen Ming's location, definitely no more than five miles. He was extremely hesitant at the moment, at the first moment when the sound of fighting in the rear came, Chen Huizu asked the team to immediately return to the rescue, but a very abrupt but reasonable situation happened, Chen Huizu's men and horses did not obey the order, and Chen Huizu could not command them. The front army and the Chinese army were combined together, and more than 3,000 people watched as the rear team was easily defeated by the Chen family's army.

At the beginning in Yuncheng, Chen Huizu cold-blooded and ruthlessly watched hundreds of Anhui Qing soldiers send death to launch a charge to Yuncheng, and now the actions of the Anhui Green Battalion are a reward for Chen Huizu's previous actions. Of course, there must also be the fear of the Anhui Qing soldiers for the Chen family's army. Demoralized, they have no fighting spirit, and as infantrymen, they are naturally afraid of horse teams......

Therefore, Chen Ming was able to see the Qing soldiers who had stayed in place for so long after the battle broke out, and he could see the Qing army, the middle army and the front army, which were more vulnerable than the rear army.

Chen Huizu fled.

Under heavy pressure, he didn't want to die yet, before the collapse of the Chinese army, he fled with his people, and then the entire Qing army fled.

Chen Ming's battle was extremely easy, even if he overestimated the endurance of his own horse team, hundreds of miles of running, the poor state of the cavalry battalion when they caught up with the Anhui Qing soldiers could be seen with the naked eye. But the result is incomparably wonderful, the unusual Chen Ming of the Anhui Qing soldiers doesn't care, as long as they collapse.

There were more than 4,000 Anhui Qing soldiers who withdrew from Yuncheng, but Chen Ming killed and captured less than 2,000.

Chen Ming was also satisfied.

He came to Chenzhou with the cavalry battalion, and after the cavalry battalion, the various units that returned from the pursuit one after another had already moved towards Lushan after a little rectification. Compared with the green camp in Anhui, the war in Nanyang Mansion is more important.

Chenzhou Mansion, Zhoujiakou.

A father and son lived in a corner of the Land Temple, when the father was about forty years old, his face was innocent, leaning against the wall from time to time to cough once or twice, with a thin quilt on his body, and a pile of work in front of him, his face was red. The son was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a swindling air between his eyebrows, looking after the steaming medicine jar.

The father and son came from Chongde, Zhejiang, and rushed to Zhoujiakou thousands of miles away, because of the heavy rain, the two of them all started a fever. Fortunately, the father and son are not delicate people, and all the way north thousands of miles, sick is not once or twice, the experienced husband and wife have settled in the land temple, and the old temple of the temple is very kind to allow the two to live and use firewood casually. The father and son lived in this land temple for four or five days, and the son's illness had been cured, and only Lao Tzu's illness had not been eradicated.

"Dad, when I was buying rice on the street just now, I heard that the Fu Han army had won a big victory in Rolling River, and the Qing soldiers attacking Yuncheng had retreated to Chenzhou......

"Hehe, good, hehe......, good, good. The Metropolitan Governor uses soldiers like gods, and soldiers use soldiers like gods...... "My father suddenly became excited when he heard the news.
