In fact, just as Fuyong imagined, the Chen family's army, which had been busy all night to complete the crossing of the river with a large army, left the camp the next afternoon and inserted diagonally towards the rear of the Qing army.

Chen Ming won't play stalemate with Qing soldiers. After leveling the Qing army in front of him, he had to quickly transfer to Nanyang, directly penetrate Nanyang Mansion, and attack Yunyang in one fell swoop. This is a move that Chen Ming began to arrange early, and he believes that Chen Jiajun will definitely step into the fast lane after entering Yunyang, and can win an unprecedented period of rapid expansion.

After taking Yunyang, Chen Jiajun has the capital to set his sights on the broader Huguang and Jiangnan. The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are definitely not as important as the threat to the Manchus in terms of geographical location compared to Henan, but the Jiangnan in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is the money bag of the Manchus; Huguang in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River was the grain tun of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Before the early Ming Dynasty, the Jiangnan region was the "granary of the world", and grain production became the lifeblood of the country's economy. But in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the economic level of Jiangnan continued to improve, even the private gardens of the rich also won with exquisite elegance, covering an area of generally not large, with the economic theory of later generations, Jiangnan from the grain production to the emphasis on grain production, the development of a variety of economic and service industry transformation has been completely successful, that is, from the primary industry to the second and tertiary industry. Their position in grain was replaced by the Huguang region, which had the same obvious advantages in irrigation, from "Su Changshu, the world is full" to "Huguang is ripe, the world is full".

Chen Jiajun wants to threaten Jiangnan, and there are still some shortcomings, but to disturb Huguang, especially Hubei, Chen Ming is very confident. Of course, this is all based on the premise that he can quickly defeat the enemy in front of him. There are a lot of assumptions, assumptions......

Chen Ming, whose actual available strength was less than one-third of the Qing army, was now like a cheetah facing a strong bison, he cautiously approached the bison, his eyes were closely watching every movement of the bison, dodging the wild attack that the bison was about to launch, and he was also looking for an opportunity to bite and even kill with a single blow.

"Evening. Let's fight them at night! ”

This is Chen Ming's little abacus. Under the cover of night, the role of cannons, and even muskets, will be reduced to the extreme, while the powerful Flying Thunder Cannon, which is easy to operate, can be like a fish in water. At that time, the Chen Jiajun in armor took advantage of the thousands of white-bladed hand-to-hand combat of the flying thunder cannon, could he not beat the Qing soldiers in front of him? Besides, the night will also hinder the movement of the Qing troops, and Chen Ming did not defeat the Qing soldiers in one go.

13,000 Qing soldiers, this 'bison' is too big, and it has to be divided and eaten.

At night, the heavy firepower of the Flying Thunder Cannon, which can easily change places with one shot, is a complete bug. No matter how many cannons there are, the Qing soldiers can't threaten it.

Therefore, the Chen Jiajun, who left the camp in the afternoon, only moved a position from time to time in the eyes of the Qing army with extreme vigilance, and did not officially launch an attack until the sun set. But when night came, the nerves of the Qing soldiers tightened even more. No one thinks that the Chen Jiajun brigade is out for fun. If there is no fight in the afternoon, they will most likely make a move in the evening.

Before an hour of nightfall, Chen Ming made Yongrui, Fuyong and others soberly realize that Chen Jiajun at night would not only make moves, but also make big moves.

The sound of fierce fighting sounded in the southwest of the main camp of the Qing army, and a Qing barracks three or four miles away had fallen into a fight. Chen Jiajun used the flying thunder cannon to smash open the 'gate' of this military village, a battalion of armor soldiers charged in, and there was a professional bombardier behind them.

In the main camp of the Qing army, Yongrui was a little apprehensive, and Fuyong also faintly mentioned his heart, and they couldn't conclude that this was a small counterattack by Chen Ming, or the first shot of the night......

"Don't you need to send reinforcements?"

"Sending troops to reinforce is likely to be blocked by the Chen family's army."

Night is not day, not to mention that the moon is not round today, the vision is dim, and the Qing soldiers are out and carrying torches, Fuyong can almost conclude that they will collide with the interception troops of the Chen family's army. In this way, a big battle is indispensable on both sides, but the night will greatly reduce the power of the guns and cannons, and at the same time, it will also weaken the advantage of the large number of Qing soldiers to a certain extent.

Fu Yong would rather fight head-on with the Chen family army during the day than fight in the dark, which would be a chaotic battle. And the Chen family's army, whose entire army is clothed in armor, will undoubtedly have a great advantage, and once the Qing army is defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The slight increase in the ratio of guns and artillery has made the Manchus gradually forget what iron armor is, even if the Eight Banners soldiers still hang their own lightning rod-like cotton armor, no one will say that they are really better than the elite of the green battalion in Ganshan. However, the appearance of the Chen Jiajun made the iron armor a deadly part of the war.

In the excerpt he handed to Beijing when the defeat was decided, Fode suggested that the Qing court put armor on the Green Battalion soldiers, but it was not recognized by Qianlong at all. At that time, in the eyes of Emperor Qianlong, the armor of the six or seven hundred thousand green battalion soldiers may have caused greater harm than the Chen family's army, because it would shake the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

But on the current battlefield, no matter how many more men and horses Yongrui and Fuyong have than the Chen Family's army, they don't want to fight a large-scale night battle with the armored Chen Family's army at night, which is difficult to control.

The sound of fighting in the Qing army village is declining little by little, and Yongrui's heart is very uncomfortable. They abandoned the head of this camp.

"Kill—"

Chen Wei's armor of the first battalion and one team of soldiers was already full of blood, but he still wanted to rush forward.

Before the battle began, he longed that he could be the first to enter the Qing barracks, the first to kill the Qing soldiers' battalion officers, and he could not ignore the great achievement immediately. But he didn't do any of this, and Chen Wei didn't know if it had any effect on whether he could get a higher level of medal, anyway, when the spear in his hand pierced into the body of the Qing soldier, all these thoughts disappeared, and there was only one thought left in his mind: "Kill, kill-"

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.

Hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield is that you can't be cowardly, regret and panic are all useless, if you want not to die here, you can only show more courage than the enemy.

Countless soldiers of the Chen family who thought the same way as him waved the swords and guns in their hands vigorously, stabbing into the flesh of the Qing soldiers again and again. The green battalion soldiers, who only wore thin uniforms, had no resistance to sharp knives and guns.

The spear head in Chen Wei's hand pierced into the face of the Qing soldier on the opposite side without resistance, and with the help of the rush, the sharp spear head passed through the skull of the Qing soldier, and the tip of the spear penetrated directly from the back of his head. But his spear was stuck in his skull, and before he could pull it out, he was stabbed in the calf by another spear. A terrible scream came out of Chen Wei's mouth, this shot was eager to pierce his calf, and then Chen Wei fell to the ground, and in the moment of falling, he saw that the hideous head of the Qing soldier holding the spear was moved from the neck by a knife light, and turned into a headless corpse......
