Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Power of the First Battle

ps: The collection is terrible. Ask for collection, ask for collection.

April 18, 32nd year of Qianlong. The Chen family army captured the county seat of Lushan.

The Qing army Xiangyong, who fled back to Lushan from the Tumenji battlefield, faced the magic weapon of the 'Flying Thunder Cannon' sacrificed by the Chen Jiajun again, and his soul was frightened and collapsed at the first touch. It was just a simple artillery bombardment, and two explosive packs blew up the Lushan West City Tower, and the entire Lushan City Defense completely collapsed.

In Lushan County, the Xu family is withered.

Xu Pengchun was like a dying old man, sitting in the hall of the main hall of the Xu family, waiting for the arrival of the Chen family.

Xu Pengchun knew that Chen Jiajun would definitely not let go of the Xu family. So he asked Xu Pengqiu to run away with the rest of the Xu family, take the family's gold and silver floating wealth, and sit in the hall by himself waiting to be killed.

Because the Xu family was defeated in his hands, no matter whether the Chen family would be killed by the court in the future, the Xu family suffered a catastrophe and suffered a fatal blow, but it was undeniable. Xu Pengchun has no face to see his ancestors and ancestors! He was a loser, and he would rather die to atone for his sins. Use your own life and your identity as a person to seek a way for the future Xu family.

Xu Pengchun still firmly believes that the imperial court can quell the chaos, he is full of confidence in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Huanghuang Qing Dynasty is rich in the world, millions of soldiers and horses, huge amounts of money and grain, how many thieves are there in the Chen family? Today's rampant is the villain's ambition. He firmly believed that the Chen family was destined to be exterminated, don't look at the Chen family, there is a powerful cannon that has no other power.

Therefore, Xu Pengchun would rather die in the hands of the Chen family, and after the court exterminated the Chen family thieves in the future, he will be a loyal and unyielding righteous man. For the sake of his life, the court must be able to let the Xu family get some more properties back.

The noise and footsteps came into the main hall, and with a gust of wind, a group of people in armor and soldiers appeared in front of Xu Pengchun, and a bleak smile appeared on Xu Pengchun's old face.

The dignified Xu family, the first family of the Lushan gentry, was careless, one step was wrong, and they ended up in such a situation, Xu Pengchun looked at the Daoguang that was cut by the head, and regretted it psychologically. The difference between one thought, the difference between one thought!

The person who cut off Xu Pengchun's head was a young man with hatred in his eyes, and half of his body was stained red with blood, and this young man also grabbed Xu Pengchun's head and offered it to Chen Ming. Chen Ming had an impression of this young man, and he knew that this young man, who had not yet come out of five suits with Huang Zicong by blood, had a pair of parents, wife and children all died that night......

In the eyes of the Tumen people, the Xu family was an accomplice in the tragedy of that night.

Chen Ming looked at the head in front of him, Xu Pengchun's facial expression was very hideous, this half-hundred-year-old man who had controlled the Xu family for many years and stood at the head of the gentry in Lushan County, I don't know if he regretted his decision at that moment before he died. It's just that everything is settled, Chen Jiajun relied on flying thunder cannons to defeat Wu Shixiong's 5,000 troops in one fell swoop, the commander of the Qing army, the deputy general of Nanyang Town, did not see anyone alive or dead, and it was very likely that he plunged into the mountains next to him when things were critical. And the 2,000 soldiers from Nanyang Town under his command and the 3,000 militia regiments from various state capitals, Tai Ban became prisoners. Who let Chen Ming have so many mountain people under him? It has strong stamina. And Chen Ming also has a cavalry under him.

It was that battle that made Chen Ming truly experience the fun and harvest of 'chasing and killing'.

If it weren't for his perseverance, at least 3,500 of the 2,000 soldiers from Nanyang and 3,000 militias would have retreated to Lushan County. You must know that the number of corpses collected by Chen Jiajun after the war is very small, just barely more than 500, and one or two hundred of them were directly killed by flying thunder cannons. Under such circumstances, can the Chen Jiajun capture a thousand Qing soldiers on the battlefield? That's obviously a tough number.

But because of Chen Ming's pursuit and killing, they chased all the way to Lushan County, and there was not even one of the three pavilions where the 5,000 Qing soldiers and militia could flee back to the county seat. The price paid by the Chen army was negligible, but the harvest was as many as half of the total strength of the Qing army.

In this case, the remnants of the Qing army and militia who were terrified did not dare to face the Chen family army again. So, when the explosive bags hit the west city of Lushan County, and when the explosion that was louder than the thunder of the Nine Days and more devastating appeared again, they collapsed instantly.

Chen Jiajun seized the county seat of Lushan at a very small price, and the new Lushan magistrate fell in the county hall, and Li Tianhe also knew about his family's affairs, and in order to save the family that had no time to escape, he ended his life with a rope. There is also the teachings of Lushan County, this person has no grievances with the Chen family, and there is even a human affection, but under the surging general situation, this eight-grade teachings did not hesitate to end his life with a rope.

The affection he had previously received from the Chen family had earned his family a safe environment. Chen Ming is a person who holds a lot of grudges and cherishes feelings, and if the teachings are dead, then protect the teachings' families.

Therefore, compared with the Li Tianhe family that was raided and the new county master's family, teaching his wife and children is the best life in the future.

Chen's house in the south of the city.

Standing here again, Chen Hui, Chen Ming, father and son couldn't help but feel a sense of joy. Especially Chen Hui, when he left Lushan County that day, he thought that it was his farewell to Lushan County, and he would never be able to set foot here again in the future. I never thought that today I would return to Lushan County as a more man.

Chen Hui turned every room in the house, including the very advanced toilet, and his excited spirit could not be calmed down for a long time.

"Dad, now that we have captured Lushan, the main force of Nanyang Town is almost completely lost, and there is no strength in western Henan that can stop us. Next, we can easily take Yexian and Yuncheng, and sweep Ruzhou, Xuzhou, Nanyang and Henan. ”

"The 1,000 soldiers from Guide Town in the east have just entered Chenzhou Mansion, and it is unknown whether the soldiers and horses from Yunyang Town in the south have entered Nanyang Mansion, and these two Qing armies are not a big threat to us now. Even after they heard the news of the defeat in Nanyang Town, they were very likely to be stationed on the spot and did not move forward. But we need to see the threat from the east and the south. Especially on the South Road, the imperial court has too many troops in this area. ”

Chen Hui bowed his head, he knew what Chen Ming meant. There are three military towns in a row behind Nanyang Town, and such a dense troop deployment in such a place is extremely rare in the entire Qing Dynasty. Chen Hui's finger involuntarily clicked on the location of Fangcheng on the map, which was the exit of the Nanyang Basin.

If the Chen Jiajun can break down the city and block the Nanyang Basin, the Qing army on the southern route must go north from Wusheng Pass in Xinyang, pass through Xinyang Prefecture, and then pass through the entire Runing Mansion before the troops can reach Yuncheng in the south of Xuzhou. And before entering Henan, they need to cross half of Hubei to enter De'an Province.

"Dad, in my opinion, we have to divide our troops into multiple routes, all the way south to capture Ye County, Wuyang, and enter Fangcheng. There are also many private miners in these counties, which just increases the strength of our army. The other way went north, captured Baofeng and Jiaxian, and approached Zhoucheng and Yiyang. Baofeng's private mines have all been smashed by us, but there are still poor mountain people who only have one life left. Gold and silver treasures are not really useful to us now, and we have a lot of money, as long as we can attract people.

Let's take a month now, as long as we can expand the force to 5,000 in a month. When the Qing soldiers come again, they will also have the strength to fight-"
