In the ruins of Beiguan, which were burned to a white ground outside the north gate of Xinye County, war drums sounded, and a battalion of Chen Jiajun soldiers pushed twenty cloud ladders towards the head of the dilapidated Beicheng City. This city wall had been repeatedly beaten by Chen Jiajun's iron bullets and flying thunder cannons in the previous day and a half, and the battlement wall near the city gate was about to be swept away.

Now in the face of the attack of the Chen family's army, the defenders have no way to stop it.

The weather in mid-August was already much cooler, but on the battlefield, many Chen Jiajun soldiers were still sweating on their foreheads.

After Chen Ming defeated the Anhui Green Battalion, he led the main force to quickly return to Lushan, and then marched towards the Nanyang Basin. This time gap is full of 20 days, from Ruyang to Yuncheng to Lushan to Nanyang Fucheng, more than 600 miles. Moreover, the soldiers of the Chen family army will be tired after winning one battle after another. After a few days of rest in between, a lot of silver dollars and wine and meat rewards are indispensable. Therefore, it took more than half a month, and it was possible to arrive in this time thanks to the convenience of water transportation in Ruzhou and Nanyang. And during this period of time, Chen Ming's right battalion of personal guards was expanded to 1,000 troops, and the two arm-and-arm battalions in the teaching brigade were expanded to three, which was still a short period of time, and after the good news of Chen Jiajun's defeat of the encirclement and suppression of the four provinces of the official army was widely spread to the world, the new barracks of Chen's army everywhere would be filled with more and more men who took the initiative to enlist.

Just like the new barracks here in Nanyang, after Chen Ming led the army to Nanyang Fucheng, the three A barracks in the teaching brigade immediately became four A barracks, and the people of Nanyang, who were miserable by the Qing soldiers in Hanzhong Town, had a small number of people who were determined to take revenge and stood on the side of the Chen family, and then brought one or two thousand recruits to the Chen family army in a very short time.

Some of the people here were asked by Chen Wenzan to fill the troops, some formed a reinforced logistics battalion responsible for material transfer and local defense, the remaining one battalion was absorbed by the teaching brigade, and some continued to train hard in the recruit barracks.

There were two more A battalions in the teaching brigade, and there were two more battalion officers and ten more team officers, so that the officers under Chen Ming could drill the camp for a while. And the number of recruits in the four armor battalions accounts for half, and the combat effectiveness of the same unit naturally decreases. It is not uncommon for those soldiers who have just come out of the boot camp to sweat brightly on their foreheads when they face the white-knuckle battle of real swords and guns.

A few scattered arrows were fired, and shotguns were fired, but they were all inaccurate. The officer in the front row gave a loud order, and one by one the ladders were set up at the head of the city, and the first soldier was holding a shield on his head, biting a knife in his mouth, and holding a ladder in one hand, and climbing towards the city wall with speed and agility like a raccoon cat and cheetah.

The Xinye city wall is only two and a half feet, and in an instant, the heads of the first batch of soldiers who ascend to the city are exposed, and the sharp blades are coming, and the soldiers in front of them are stabbed and fall down screaming; Some of them held their shields to cover them, and they held the knives in their mouths with their right hands and fought back violently. The soldiers behind him threw up their grenades, and the two sides exchanged their lives endlessly at the stall where the wooden ladder met at the head of the city, and the Qing soldiers occupied the advantage, and the soldiers of the Chen family army continued to fall down the slope. And they themselves are rapidly losing blood in the delivery of grenades.

The remnants of Hanzhong Town and Nanyang Town had already received an urgent report from Xinyang, before Chen Ming led his troops into Nanyang Mansion City. After Ni Daliang received the news from Xinyang, he withdrew his troops and retreated, but he and Zhang Dajing couldn't give up the entire Nanyang Mansion if they retreated, right? Xinye has become the place where Ni Daliang and Zhang Dajing, who have joined forces again.

Chen Ming also arrived at the battlefield at this time, watching the battle on the city wall, and looking at the wounded soldiers who were carried back from under the city wall with a calm expression.

There are not many Qing soldiers on the city wall, although they have the advantage of geographical advantage, but can not withstand the continuous attack of the Chen army, the dead Qing soldiers are piled up high corpses on the bare city wall, and finally the first Chen family army set foot on the city, when the first Chen family army climbed the city first, the Qing army's defense and resistance are like a small gap in the embankment, more and more floods and pressure make the small gap quickly become larger, and finally the embankment will be completely broken. The Qing soldiers on the front line could no longer resist, so they turned around and ran under the city wall.

Chen's army quickly occupied the city wall.

The musketeers who followed the soldiers to the top of the city put on a stance, while the Qing troops who ran under the city wall were still resisting the advance of the Chen army. So such resistance, accompanied by a salvo of muskets on the ramparts, quickly disappeared. Because of the volley of musketeers, the Qing troops could not be assembled at all, nor could they be mobilized on a large scale. How did the Qing army resist the offensive of the Chen family's armoured soldiers?

After a large number of Qing soldiers were dispersed, the Chen family's armor battalion cooperated with the musketeers of the squad platoon and began to advance along the main road of the county to the south and the east-west fork road.

This war is one of the few battles in which the Chen family army has similar troops. The number of troops invested by the Chen Jiajun was not less than that of the Qing soldiers after the Nanyang offensive and defensive battles, so the Chen Jiajun showed an overwhelming advantage in the Battle of Xinye.

The soldiers of the Chen family army wearing red military uniforms seemed to be following the fire spreading in the wind, quickly occupying every node they passed. After their large troops, they would leave one or two squads of battle teams at each alley to prevent the scattered Qing soldiers from harassing them, and the large troops would advance rapidly towards the county government in the center of the city without delay.

On the street, gunfire rang out, and white gunpowder smoke drifted through the air. The farther Chen Jiajun advanced in the center of the city, the more fierce the resistance encountered, and Ni Daliang and Zhang Dajing were veterans of the army in the end, and they were quite effective in organizing defense.

However, the Chen family army has entered the city, and the Qing army has gone in Xinye, and now the resistance of the Qing soldiers cannot be stubborn resistance, but only teeth and claws before escaping.

By dusk, the entire Xinye County had been completely controlled by the Chen family. Chen Ming sent a team to chase down the Qing soldiers who fled south, and his other task was to collect and inspect the fish that had slipped through the net.

Jiang Kui led his squad of soldiers to cooperate with a platoon of soldiers to do a search, although Jiang Kui was only a squad leader, but he and his soldiers belonged to the tank battalion, Jiang Kui was even better than the platoon commander of the A battalion.

Jiang Kui volunteered to come to the west of the city to 'help', not on a whim and without a root. The platoon commander of the first soldier soon found that Jiang Kui was very familiar with the environment in the west of Xinye City, especially the street that they were searching. With his eyes closed, Jiang Kui could tell how many alleys there were, and how many households there were in each alley.

"I've been working here for half a year. The car and horse shop in front of it is the old Zhou family. The shopkeeper is a man without conscience, who deducts my wages and does not give me enough food. "Jiang Kui was in the old Zhou family's carriage and horse shop to help feed the horses and mix the grass and clean up the manure, and his status was not as good as those who drove the car, and he was the lowest in the entire carriage and horse shop.

Those beasts can still eat eggs sometimes, and Jiang Kui has been in the carriage and horse shop for half a year, and the number of times he can completely fill his stomach is only a handful.

"Team leader, no wonder you're here......"

"Team leader, we'll avenge you."

"Team leader, let's smash the car and horse shop of Zhou, and then you can beat whoever you want......"

Jiang Kui was talking about his hunger on the road, and a group of soldiers under his command shouted loudly, although he could hear the laughter in the shouting, which made the surrounding armor soldiers hehe, Jiang Kui also smiled good-naturedly.

In the fight, Jiang Kui was very brave, but when he arrived on the battlefield, Jiang Kui didn't look at the tall man, his face was fierce, and his temper was very good.
