In the middle of the night, a lone lamp. Fode was lying on the bookcase and was writing a recital for Beijing.

Guide Town and Yunyang Town were defeated, and Chen Jiajun's routine was very clear, but the officials and troops just couldn't withstand it. Guide and Yunyang two towns, dignified national economic soldiers, whether it is firearms or white blades, have been beaten by the Chen family's army, and now the two towns have been defeated in successive battles, the morale of the army is low, and there are already deserters in the militia township.

Forde knew very well that he was defeated in this battle.

However, the six or seven thousand officers and soldiers of the two towns and the thousands of militia regiments and townsmen, and the combat strength of tens of thousands of people could not be defeated to the point of meaninglessness. Forde summed up the experience of this battle, told the story of this battle, and he had to go directly to Beijing and to the Long Live Lord.

The Chen family's thieves are powerful, and they can no longer be suppressed and exterminated by soldiers and horses in one or two towns.

After the Chen family thieves defeated the officers and soldiers of Guide and Yunyang towns this time, they will inevitably infect the place for the second time, and the number of troops may also increase further. The next encirclement and suppression will still be a small fight of thousands of soldiers, which is completely conniving at the Chen family thieves.

In the Yali of Yuncheng County, the county magistrate sat in the study in a daze, exuding an air of despair. "It's over, it's all over." The total army of the two towns, with tens of thousands of troops in Huanghuang, can't defeat less than half of the Chen family thieves, God just wants him to die.

According to the ferocity of the Chen family thieves and their arrogance that swept away the gentry of the Ruzhou government, he could not find a way to live.

"Master, master, you can't sit and wait for death. Give me an idea, let the lord of the domain issue a warrant, let you go to the state city to ask for help or transfer money and food, it is a way to live. If the official hat is gone, it will be gone, at least save one life. ”

Compared with those concubines who can only cry and cry, Mrs. Zhixian still has some knowledge, and she understands that it is useless to cry at this time.

Like the desperate atmosphere that permeated the county government, the gentry, businessmen, and big families in Yuncheng County who actively donated money, grain, carts, and horses for the official army more than half a month ago were all sitting on wax at this time. Who would have thought that the total soldiers of the two towns would go out, and there would be thousands of township militia retinues, and the combat strength of more than 10,000 people could not defeat the Chen family army, which had less than 5,000 people. Although the Chen family's army, which has less than 5,000 people, is all combat effectiveness.

Chen Jiajun's sweep of Ruzhou was very clear about how to deal with the gentry who donated money and grain to organize the township brave militia to deal with them. Such a catastrophe is about to befall the head, how can the gentry in Yuncheng County not panic?

It's a pity that it's too late for them to run.

As long as the Chen family army defeats the Qing army in front of them, Yuncheng is the fat on their lips, and after Chen Ming returned to Dezhen after the defeat, he sent a cavalry battalion to monitor this place at all times. These gentry and big families, if they want a single horse to escape at night, it is still possible, but if they want a large group of old and small carriages and horses to leave from Yuncheng safely, it is impossible not to be discovered.

I didn't see that even the county government got in touch with the Qing army camp, so I had to sneak away quietly at night.

Besides, their greatest reliance, the Qing army outside the city, on the second day after Fode had written a song and sent the celebrity horse to Beijing, the Qing army 'crossed' the Shahe River that turned a big bend to the north, and completely abandoned the county seat of Yuncheng to the Chen Jiajun.

"Lu Long, Yang Ping, Feng Shaohua."

"The three of you immediately rushed to Wuyang and cleaned up the big squires who jumped out of Wuyang County in the past few days."

"Uncle Bao."

"You take Chen Wenzan's camp, take down Yuncheng County, and clean up everything that should be cleaned up."

"The rest of the troops continued to press on the Qing troops."

Regarding the actions of the Qing soldiers, Chen Ming's reaction seemed to be a bit 'two ends of the first rat'. It seems that the attitude of fighting is not resolute.

"Lu Long, you have to make a bigger noise when you return to Wuyang." The last command made Chen Ming's originally clear combat layout suddenly change a little.

The Qing army's Tanma was also keeping an eye on the changes of the Chen family's army, and Lu Long and other troops returned to Wuyang, but they couldn't hide the Qing soldiers at all, and then Yuncheng County also fell into the hands of the Chen family's army.

Fode recruited Ronghua and Ma Wenjie, two generals, with a big map spread out on the table, Fode said: "The Chen family thieves have killed a group of soldiers and horses back to Wuyang, and the other army has gathered troops to capture the county seat of Yuncheng, and now they are plundering in the city." The leader of the thieves, Chen Ming, personally led his troops to overwhelm the west side of the river. The official estimated, did the Chen family thief not want to fight ...... such a arrangement? The more Fode pondered, the more he felt that Chen Ming didn't want to fight, so he divided his troops into Wuyang and those Yuncheng counties. This ******** a while ago is not the same as the Qing barracks, and the taste is different.

Ronghua and Ma Wenjie glanced at each other, and both nodded in agreement. "My lord, Shahe, this Shahe should be the cordon of the Chen family's thieves." Ronghua pointed to the sand river on the map and said.

"Our army is east of the Shahe River, and the soldiers can't threaten Yuncheng County, so they haven't touched the bottom line of Chen Thief." The geographical location of the county seat of Yuncheng is very important. Not to mention the small details, the key hub of the state capital, since the big picture, this location is located in the eastern foothills of Funiu Mountain Plain and the Huaibei Plain staggered area, the total terrain is high in the west and low in the east, there are a small number of loess hills distributed, there are dozens of large and small rivers in its territory, all of which belong to the Huai River water system, the main rivers Shahe, Li River, Yinghe River, etc., of which Sha and Li River are more traversal the whole territory. The Chen family's guns and artillery armor are sharp, if they occupy this place and manage it well, it can be used as the fulcrum of Ruzhou's eastern defense.

If the Qing troops in this place are not defeated first, who would dare to rashly attack the eastern part of Ruzhou? Aren't you afraid that the Chen Jiajun in Yuncheng will copy their back road?

Yuncheng, as well as Xiangxian, as soon as these two places are taken, Chen Jiajun can really organize an eastern defensive line with some hard work, and Chen Jiajun can attack Luoyang to the north with relative peace of mind - take Yiyang, or attack Nanyang to the south.

In Chen Ming's cognition, the Chen family army cannot stick to one place, but must attack instead of defending. Taking Luoyang and Nanyang in the north and south of Ruzhou as an example, Chen Jiajun fought in the past, and it was better to fight in these two territories than to burn into Ruzhou and burn to Chen's lair, right?

Of course, if Fode, Ronghua, Ma Wenjie and the others simply thought that they could withdraw from the battle and safely withdraw to Chenzhou, then they would be too naïve. Just after the Qing army stayed on the east bank of the Shahe River for a day, and then retreated along the Shahe River to Xihua, Chen Ming led the troops to accept the east bank of the Shahe River smoothly. Although the Qing soldiers destroyed the bridge when they retreated. But it didn't matter, Chen Ming crossed the Shahe River lightly with 2,000 people overnight, and then the team took a step forward and advanced straight east towards Zhoujiakou. The Qing army, which had retreated northeast along the Shahe River to Xihua, was sidelined.

By the time Fode, Ronghua, and Ma Wenjie received information from local villages and towns, the sun was already dark, and the three of them were all blue-skinned.
