[Next week, Guo Ben, take advantage of the recommendation now, ask for a collection.........]

Xinye defeated Chen Ming in the rest of Hanzhong Town and Nanyang Town in the first battle, and of course took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the team went directly to Xiangyang. However, the Chen family army that killed Xiangyang was only 3,000 people, and the remaining Chen family army in Nanyang Mansion was all taking advantage of the stalls to sweep the Qing court and government offices all over the country.

In the previous war, the main battlefields on both sides revolved around the north-south line of Nanyang Fucheng and Xinye County, and the place north of Nanyang Fucheng was controlled by the Chen Jiajun, but the counties south of Nanyang Fucheng were still the territory of my Qing Dynasty.

Tang County, Qinyang, Tongbai, and the three counties in the southeast corner of Nanyang Prefecture were swept by Gao Jinghui and the logistics troops; Neixiang, Xixia, Xichuan, and Dengzhou were swept away by Chen Wenzan and Lu Long, and now it is Chen Wenzan's department that is killed outside Dengzhou City.

The main force rushed to Dengzhou's Chen Jiajun, which destroyed Shi Zhenyue's resistance, and the team only stayed in Dengzhou for one day, leaving a set of Chen Jiajun's governance team, as well as two teams of people to guard, and continued to advance towards Xichuan.

Chen Jiajun is ready to manage the Nanyang Basin with his heart, and the superior geographical advantages here make all the upper echelons of the General's Mansion very excited. Compared to Ruzhou, which is ventilated on all sides, Nanyang Mansion with basin topography is simply a paradise.

Of course, Chen Ming doesn't need to think about the shift of Chen Jiajun's center of gravity now, he is looking at Xiangyang City on the other side of the Han River, which is really worthy of being an iron-clad Xiangyang. The moat of one or two hundred meters long is a complete nightmare for the attackers. Especially when there are many soldiers in Xiangyang City.

The governor of Huguang sent his own superintendent, together with the two battalions under the governor of Hubei, and the five battalion leaders rushed to Xiangyang, cooperating with the rest of the Xiangyang City garrison, as well as the remnants of Zhang Dajing and Ni Daliang who had escaped, and then gathered the militia formed in these days, and the Xiangyang garrison had at least 7,000 people.

Even if Chen Jiajun has an advantage in firepower, how long will it take for the 3,000-strong Chen Jiajun to gnaw Xiangyang? Will the Qing court give him such a long time to attack Xiangyang? Are the local governments in Hubei all dry-staring decorations? That's impossible. So now he is just looking at Xiangyang City across the Han River, instead of waving his troops to attack. Their mission is in Yunyang!

The Han River turns a 90-degree bend at the Juankou Beach in the west of the valley, and the Han River, which runs northwest and southeast, becomes northeast and southwest here, and then it is Gwanghwa. The Han River completed the second 90-degree turn in Guanghua, and the Han River went upstream and changed back to the original northwest and southeast directions, followed by Junxian and Junzhou [Wudang Mountain is in the territory of Junzhou], and then followed by the Han River upstream to Yunyangfu. Yun County, the capital county of Yunyang Prefecture, Yunxi, the northwestern county seat of Hubei Province, and Zhushan, Zhuxi, Fangxian, and Baokang, which can be reached along the tributaries of the Han River, are all Chen Jiajun's goals.

……

Yunyang Mansion is in turmoil at the moment.

The troops of Yunyang Town were withdrawn too much, and the general soldier Ma Wenjie was seriously injured and abandoned on the battlefield by the defeated soldiers, and the Manchu court had the right to treat him as dead. Qianlong's reward has been in Yunyang for several days, and the Ma family can't care about face and etiquette, so they slapped their butts and left Yunyang to return to their hometown in Shaanxi.

Now Yunyang Town has Zhu Bangdao, the deputy general of the Zhushan Association, and the previous war took away most of the men and horses in Yunyang Town, and now it is full of battles, and there are only more than 1,000 green battalions in Yunyang Mansion. In Junzhou and Guanghua, east of Yunyang Prefecture, there is also a Junguang battalion, which has also been drawn into an empty shell by the previous war. Yunyang Mansion is trapped in a situation of insufficient troops, and the tragedy is that they have not been able to rescue them in a short time. Dingchang put a large part of the limited force in his hands in Xiangyang City, and only the two left and right battalions of Wuchang City garrison were sent to Yunyang. Yes, Dingchang did not think that the Chen Jiajun who fought Xinye to the south would make a detour of hundreds of miles to attack Yunyang, he thought that the Chen Jiajun would then attack Xiangyang City, and then seek to capture Wuchang or Jingzhou.

As a result, Xinye was lost, and the Chen family's soldiers occupied Fancheng bloodlessly, and then went upstream, instead of directly attacking Xiangyang, and the Qing troops in Xiangyang City were all on wax. Yes, they can directly cut off the logistics supply line of Chen Jiajun, such as Chen Ming's team, because the artillery and firearms equipped in the team naturally carry a large number of logistics baggage, so they can only be transported by water.

The Qing army did not expect that Chen Ming would attack from Xiangyang to the west, and at night the logistics ships of the Chen family army broke through in batches, and the limited artillery fire on Xiangyang City was very cheerful, but in fact it was useless.

Now that Chen Jiajun is gone, if the Qing army's brain is not bad, they will put down water rows and hidden piles in the middle of the Han River, and it is not difficult to block the water surface of the Han River. In this way, they will be able to cut off Chen Jiajun's supply routes. Unless Chen Jiajun is willing to spend huge manpower, material resources and troops to form a land military transportation line.

But Chen Ming didn't care about these at all, he brought more than 30 boats with the army, and the guns and ammunition were enough. It's a big deal that after conquering Yunyang Fucheng, he can still communicate with Xichuan through Baisangguan and Meijiabao-Taohe line. Although the road is quite difficult, it is also more cost-effective and safer than organizing a land transportation route for thousands of miles.

The Chen army went up the Han River, which was obviously to capture Yunyang, and the sky was pitiful, the previous Yunyang government, the green camp and the Dingchang were very consistent, they did not think that the Chen army would attack Yunyang from Xiangyang to the west, and thought that the Chen army would attack Yunyang from Xichuan. Although the terrain of Xichuan is very complicated, the small plains are full of high mountains and dense forests, this place is difficult to enter and difficult to get out, it is a typical dead place, it is easy to defend externally, and it is easy for people outside to strangle Xichuan in and out of the route.

Chen Jiajun attacked Yunyang from Xichuan, there were two roads: one was to take the Tao River, Kemeijiabao, Baisangguan and Leifengya, and then you could see the city wall of Yunyang Fucheng; The other road is to go Jingziguan, step on the three provinces with one foot, Jingziguan in the three provinces of Jiming, and Jingziguan in Nanyang Town.

In Moon Bay in Jingziguan Town, there is a pass where two mountains face each other. Outside the pass, there is 800 miles of Qinchuan, and inside the pass, there is the open Central Plains. The roaring Danjiang River and the narrow ancient road together build a Jingzi Pass where "one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open".

It leans on the mountains, faces the Danjiang River, carries the mountains, faces the clear stream, "connects Qinchuan in the west, and Ezhu in the south", and has become the place where the merchants and soldiers of the past dynasties gather and compete with the deer by virtue of the superior and unique geographical location. Just because the Danjiang River is rich in hydraulic resources, it can be directly hung on the cloud sail and traced back to the river.

The Yunyang Green Camp and the government have been strengthening these two vital defenses these days. There are also reasons why Dingchang only transferred two battalion heads to Yunyang, and Yunyang's geographical advantages are too obvious. As a result, Chen Ming's move made Yunyang Qingjun's intestines turn blue.

Knowing that Chen Ming would come from Xiangyang, they focused on managing the Xiaojiangkou in Junxian County. [The confluence point of Danshui and Hanjiang, which is also known as the Danjiang estuary]

But now it's too late.

In the area north of the Yangtze River, although the Qing army still has tens of thousands of troops, 7,000 in Xiangyang City and 3,000 in Xinyang City, a month has passed, and the team in Xinyang City that escaped from the Rolling River Battlefield has not yet recovered its combat strength.

Relying only on the seven thousand people in Xiangyang, would they dare to kick Chen Ming's ass?

The huge Qing Empire will not be able to organize a decent team to rescue the powder keg of Yunyang in a short period of time.

It may not take a few days for the Chen family army to detonate the entire Yunyang like the color of their red military uniforms!
