The Diao River, yes, the river that flows through Dengzhou and joins the Baihe River is called such a comical name.

As a result, the river is short, mostly through mountainous areas, and floods whenever the rains rise in summer and autumn. In the dry season of winter and spring, it is dry and dry, can not irrigate, in Dengzhou has always had the name of "the old Diao River of the copper bottom iron gang", it is said that it has the intention of deliberately putting Diao to do evil, so it is called Diao River.

This river can not be transported on a large scale like the White River, but there are no Manchu regular soldiers stationed in Dengzhou, and the remnants of Nanyang Town and Hanzhong Town, which were defeated in Xinye, also fled to Xiangyang with all their strength, and the defeated troops fled to Dengzhou.

Dengzhou was also a general Zhili Prefecture in Ruzhou three years ago, subordinate to Neixiang and Xinye counties, Yongzheng three years into Nanyang Prefecture, in the Qing court's state and county division, Dengzhou also belongs to a difficult place. Its current Zhizhou Peng Zhongrui is a second-class jinshi in the 19th year of Qianlong, who is honest and fair, and is a rare good official, with a good official reputation in Dengzhou, and has been serving two terms for five years.

Such a Qing official and capable official, it stands to reason that his appeal among the people should be very strong, but no matter how good Peng Zhongrui's official reputation is, he can't stop the disaster of Hanzhong Town, and the common people will never target the Qing soldiers of a certain town alone, and the target of their hatred will only be all the Qing soldiers, and even the Qing court in the background of the Qing soldiers. The militia organized by the Dengzhou Prefecture government can have four or five hundred people, which is already a big face given to Peng Zhongrui by the people of Dengzhou.

Of course, there are by no means a few Ding Zhuang and Minyong gathered in the local towns and villages of Dengzhou, but most of them raise their hands in the countryside, and no one will go to the state city to work for the government.

When the news of the defeat of the Qing army in Xinye reached Dengzhou, Peng Zhongrui's hair was about to turn gray, and Zhou and Li Jiong were also ten years old, and they had been frowning sadly. The name of the state official is very powerful, his name is Shi Zhenyue, and he walked into the signing room and reported to Li Jiongyu: "My lord, the 20th board is finished, is it ......?"

"Throw people out." Li Jiong still had the heart to pay attention to the hysterical fool, and waved his hand impatiently.

Just when he came to the signing room to find Peng Zhongrui, a person came to the gate of the state government and shouted that the thief had entered the city, and the thief had entered the city in makeup.

This guy who doesn't know the so-called dog, I don't know that he Li Zhoutong just returned to the state from the east gate of the city, this guy came to shout that the thief put on makeup and entered the city, isn't this pointing at Li Jiong's nose and saying that he has no eyes and let the thief into the city.

It's light to beat him with twenty boards.

Peng Zhongrui didn't ask why, and he thought it was a trivial civil dispute for twenty boards. These days, there are much more chaos in Dengzhou than in previous years, Hanzhong Town is doing evil, and local ruffians and hooligans take advantage of the fire to rob, which makes Peng Zhongrui anxious.

At this moment, there was a sudden uproar in the east of the city, and then, like a landslide and tsunami, the people were screaming and crying!

Peng Zhongrui and Li Jiong's faces changed instantly......

"The Chen family thief has entered the city!"

"The Chen thief has come in!"

Almost instantly, Dengzhou City, which was originally quite calm, suddenly turned into a terrifying world. The vanguard of the Chen Jiajun in disguise pretended to be a large family on the run, and a platoon of armored soldiers was loaded in five carriages. At the same time, the soldiers of the Chen family, who had already lurked in the city first, also reflexively attacked the east gate.

At this time, the Chen Jiajun did not invest many troops, and their large army was still ten miles away, but in an instant, the Chen Jiajun, with a total number of two platoons, stunned the more than 100 people guarding the door.

The howls of fear, forming turbulence, quickly spread from the streets to everywhere. In the state office, Li Jiong's knees were weak and he fell directly to the ground, and Peng Zhongrui's face also changed greatly.

He didn't think about his own safety, as a parent, he had the responsibility to defend the land, and life and death had already been put aside by him after the news of the defeat of the Xinye War, he thought of Dengzhou, the Chen family army really killed it, even if their sneak attack was not successful this time, the Chen family thieves who came over openly were able to resist the hundreds of militia groups in Dengzhou?

The sound of fighting and panic in the east of the city became louder and louder, and Peng Zhongrui looked at it in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Not only him, but everyone present was at a loss. After the defeat of the Qing army in Xinye, the entire Nanyang Mansion was the territory of the Chen family's army, and although the officials of Dengzhou were actively forming a militia group, they were more willing to obey the destiny of heaven.

Only Shi Zhenyue said angrily at this time: "Officials and bandits are not separated. Just die, leave a loyal name, worthy of the court, not disgraced the family! ”

Shi Zhenyue said as he pulled out his waist knife and shouted to the official of the Yamen to follow him to the east gate to kill the thief. When he stepped out of the gate of the state government, Shi Zhenyue glanced back, Peng Zhongrui, the Qing official, and Li Jiong were still stunned there, and he shouted: "Two adults, what are you still in a daze, the thieves are about to come in, how to decide and deal with it quickly." "For example, let the family flee, or simply be loyal to the family, and of course they can also surrender. Just like the Huang Jiao in Dengzhou, it's been half a month, and it's been closed.

Shi Zhenyue sent his family out of the state city early, and now that he is alone, he can't care about respecting Peng Zhongrui anymore. "Ladies and gentlemen, do your duty to the court, right today. Fight thieves with me? ”

Ten steps, there will be vanilla; In the ten-room city, there will be loyal men. Shi Zhenyue is a loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty. It's a pity that he is not a good general, in the face of the loss of the East Gate and the Chen Jiajun who is destined to arrive soon, he has no other way but to take the lead in the counterattack.

The Chen Jiajun's sneak attack troops had completed their armament, and those who entered the city first and drove the carriages and horses to carry the burdens had already put on the iron armor, muskets, and grenades loaded in the carriages.

Chen Wei, who had just returned from injury, stood on the front line with a spear in his hand, the blood had already stained the head of the spear, and the bloody blade devoured the lives of the people of Dengzhou between the expansion and contraction again and again.

The militia was not a regular army, and even the regular green battalion soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not support the rapid bleeding in the narrow contact area of the city gate cave. Shi Zhenyue had to retreat with someone.

They also shot with shotguns and bows and arrows, and Chen Jiajun blocked the five carriages with three inside and two outside, and the carriages that could be hit by shotguns were riddled with holes, but they had no real effect at all. Moreover, the Chen Jiajun also had muskets, and they also brought tiger squat cannons, equipped with grenades, so it was not feasible to attack head-on.

If it weren't for the fact that the streets inside the city gate were full of houses on both sides, and two quick steps could rush from the shops to the city gate, and the short distance was very unfavorable to the use of muskets, and the sixty Chen family soldiers who were defending the city gate were not at all four or five hundred militia groups that could plunder their sharpness.

Therefore, the Dengzhou militia was very lively inside and outside the east gate, and half an hour passed without any progress at all. When the main force of the Chen family army that marched into Dengzhou arrived, the 1,200 Dengzhou people outside the Dongcheng Gate were all scattered.

Then Dengzhou City naturally easily fell into the hands of Chen Jiajun. It's just that no one knows whether Peng Zhongrui, Li Jiong and others are dead or alive, and no one cares.
