When the shameless and hypocritical old man in the first half of his life was spending the second half of his life repenting and doing his best to make up for the mistakes he had made, Chen Wen had already withdrawn his troops from the city of Jiangshan County.

The purpose of attacking Jiangshan was to break the encirclement of the Qing army in the western part of Quzhou, thereby threatening the neighboring provinces and giving full play to Quzhou's geographical advantage.

Originally, Chen Wen planned to defeat the Jiujiang Green Battalion by besieging the city and sending reinforcements in the process of attacking Jiangshan, further weakening the strength of the Qing army; If the Jiujiang Green Battalion refuses to fight, then it will swallow the Supervisory Battalion that has already begun to organize and train the Mandarin Duck Formation, widening the tactical gap between them.

But when he really started to attack the country, he found that it was far from as easy as he imagined.

Jiangshan County faces water in the east and mountains in the west, and only the north and south city walls are convenient for attacking the city. However, if a part of the troops were transported to the south of the city to achieve a simultaneous attack on both sides, the Qing army could attack the weaker division with superior forces, and the strong headquarters would not be able to support it at all.

In the same way, attacking on two fronts at the same time without coordinating with each other and not aiding each other is as dangerous as the former. Unless there is an absolute superiority in strength, such as the Qing army in the fourth year of Yongli when the Qing army encircled and suppressed Siming Mountain, if it was not for Chen Wen to send the news to Wang Yi's hands in advance, otherwise the Ming army of the various divisions of Siming Mountain, which is stationed in various places on weekdays, will not have the possibility of using the advantage of internal combat to achieve each breakthrough, and there is only a dead end.

Because of this, Chen Wen's choice in attacking the city was to directly attack the northern city wall leading to Quzhou. However, this county town is rectangular, long from south to north, and short from east to west, and the superintendent battalion defending the city has concentrated most of its troops on the north city wall, leaving only the necessary soldiers in the other cities.

At the head of the city was a dense camp of superintendents, but Chen Wen was extremely lacking in large-caliber Hongyi cannons to bombard the city walls, and the efficiency of the Ming army using traditional siege methods was extremely low. In the first two days, the defenses outside the city were uprooted and demolished, and some of the pheasants were broken with artillery, and it stands to reason that the siege would officially start on the third day. But on this day, when the Ming army launched an attack, a wolf smoke rose in the city, and the banner of the Jiujiang Green Battalion appeared on the side of the Ming army just a moment later.

It was separated from Changshan by a large mountainous area to the west of Jiangshan County, but it was not a lofty mountain that could not pass through large armies, and there were large areas of flat land and cols where troops could march and station. Chen Wen's scout horse spread out to that area, but it couldn't go deeper, and it was they who found the Jiujiang Green Camp.

Besieging the city to send reinforcements, this was the original plan, but when Chen Wen led the army back to fight the Jiujiang Green Battalion, a pale yellow wolf smoke rose from Jiangshan County, and the Jiujiang Green Battalion also fled far away, without the slightest intention of confronting Chen Wen.

In this regard, Chen Wen always felt a little familiar in a trance, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had also used this method to contain the Qing army in Anhua Town, but because the advantage of the Qing army there was too great, and the defenders and the troops responsible for containment were also more dependent on the defense capability of the fortress, so the effect was not very obvious. In fact, the tactics of the two sides are almost like two apprentices taught by a master, and some differences are inevitable, but there is still little difference in the basic techniques.

Once he got this conclusion, Chen Wen suddenly became speechless, and he couldn't even mention the shameless desire to scold Yang Jie and Zhang Guoxun, who let him teach Yin Yue and Lin Zhongxiao like this.

The first day of the siege was over, but on the second day, not only Yang Jie and Zhang Guoxun did the same, but even the banner of Wang Zhigang appeared on the city.

With the Qing army reinforcements entering the city, the Qing army in Jiangshan County has reached 6,000 people, even if a third of them have to be recruits, but the strength advantage of the Ming army no longer exists. Moreover, in addition to these two shrunken turtles, there is also a Yang Jie outside the city......

In the following days, Chen Wen repeatedly deceived and sold all kinds of flaws, but the Qing army seemed to have a purpose, that is, if the Ming army did not attack the city with all its might, Yang Jie would resolutely not come out to make trouble, and when the Ming army returned to the division, even if the flaws were exposed, Yang Jie would never love to fight, and ran faster than a rabbit.

The total strength is only half of the opponent's, in the face of the Qing army so brazen, Chen Wen and his staff officers really have no way, and as a fast horse rushed to the front of the army, Chen Wen had to temporarily return to Quzhou, giving up the whack-a-mole game of "whether he smashes the hammer faster, or they shrink their heads faster" with the three Qing army marshals here.

According to Chen Guobao's report, the messenger came from the detachment led by Chen Guobao, starting to attack Chuzhou, all the way to Suichang, and did not encounter any resistance.

He has not seen such things before, after repelling Ma Jinbao and Zhang Guoxun last year, the Qing army abandoned the few cities that could not be defended, but it was far from the level of cutting the whip.

But now, not only did they go out of the city for more than ten miles to greet and reward the Ming army, but they also cut off their braids one by one. Even if Chen Guobao didn't think about it, several staff officers specially sent to the army this time still felt that they should investigate before entering the city. However, the result of the investigation was that the Qing army had already withdrawn, and according to the representatives of those gentry and big families, the Qing army in Suichang had been ready to flee half a month ago.

Suichang was immediately down, followed by Songyang and Xuanping, and after recovering Suichang, the two counties that the Qing army had also fled from were soon taken.

Of the ten counties in Chuzhou, five of which were arranged in a W-shaped pattern in the north near the line of Jinhua and Quzhou, the partial division had already recovered Suichang, Songyang and Xuanping, while Jinyun had returned to the arms of the Ming army earlier. After Chen Guobao recruited a large number of people as auxiliaries, he marched to the capital of Chuzhou.

It was the only place where the siege and defense of the city had broken out so far, and the defenders, who had been supplemented by Qing troops in Suichang and other three counties, were very tenacious at first. However, when the defenders of Suichang were ordered to go south, the defenders who got the news took advantage of the night to evacuate Fucheng and went straight to Wenzhou along the Oujiang River.

In addition to these five counties, the other five counties of Chuzhou are scattered in the central and southern parts of the country, which are more extensive but denser and denser. Among them, there are water systems such as Longquan, Qingtian and Jingning connected with the capital city of Chuzhou, and Qingyuan and Yunhe are far away in the mountains and forests.

After recovering the capital city of Chuzhou, Suichang was already a hinterland that did not border other counties, and half of the troops were divided to assist in the defense of the capital city, and Chen Guobao germinated the idea of continuing to lead the army along the Oujiang River. In that letter, he can be said to be very optimistic about the recovery of Wenzhou.

The recovery of Chuzhou can be said to have a great relationship with the fact that the deputy general of Chuzhou was captured by the Ming army a month ago, and the Qing army was also annihilated again. The fear of the enemy shown by the Qing army in Chuzhou just shows this, but although the Wenzhou Green Battalion suffered the same heavy losses, the Wenzhou deputy general Hu Laijin fled back, and it was more convenient for the Qing army in Taizhou to assist in the defense, so Chen Wen asked the messenger to return to the front of the Chuzhou army after receiving the letter, and asked Chen Guobao to hold heavy troops in case it was taken advantage of by the Qing army.
