Lushan County General's Mansion. Night covers the land.

The sky had just cleared this evening, and there was already a crescent moon hanging in the sky at night. It was because of a heavy rain that had just fallen, and the whole sky seemed to be washed by the rain, and the night sky tonight had a different kind of transparency.

The air is also fresh, with a smell of earth, just like refurbished dirt.

Lao Liu [Liu Wen Liu Wu's father] liked the taste after the rain very much, he moved a rocking chair and put it under the eaves, next to a wooden table, on which was placed a pot of wine and a plate of salted peanuts. There is only half a pot of wine, two taels, and Lao Liu is not fond of alcohol. Otherwise, he would not have sat firmly in the Chen family's gatehouse in the previous ten years, and he would not always stay by Chen Hui's side after the Chen family raised troops.

Just when Lao Liu was enjoying this feeling of comfort in his heart, a fluttering sound suddenly sounded above his head, followed by the ...... 'coo', 'coo', and the sound of the pigeon clearly reached his ears.

Lao Liu, who was also in his forties, sat up from the rocking chair and looked up at a half-high platform with millet rice, clear water, and a gray and white pigeon. Lao Liu hurriedly climbed onto the platform and untied a small cylinder one inch long from the pigeon's feet. Mixin, who saw the specifications of the small cylinder at a glance, didn't dare to slack off, and ran to Chen Hui with the small cylinder.

"Only MeSign and no Explicit?" A helpless expression flashed on Chen Hui's face, it is impossible to have a secret letter without a clear letter, Lao Liu did not receive a clear letter, it can only be said that he has finished another pigeon. Or you have caught some bird, or someone has knocked you down, and of course you may have gotten lost. The flying pigeon biography is very compelling, and it is much more convenient to send the message to the fast horse, but the fact is that it has never been so uncertain!

Lao Liu retreated, Chen Hui turned his hand and picked out a stereotypical "The Mean" by Xuan Yongzheng in Ruzhou in the cabinet full of books behind him, and half an hour later, the entire secret letter was completely translated by Chen Hui. At this time, Chen Hui's face was already completely filled with the sweetness and pride of eating the elixir.

"Great victory, great victory, good victory, great victory! The Hubei Green Battalion banner soldiers are all finished, finished......" Chen Ming said in a secret letter that he had captured Xiping County, the Qing army was defeated, and he was waving his army to chase after him. Even if Chen Hui had confidence in Chen Ming, he was completely overwhelmed by this super-large good news at this moment, and the news of "Coming people, coming people...... people" must be transmitted to every place under the control of the General's Mansion as soon as possible.

……

Then turn your gaze back to Chen Ming. Since last night, the sniper squad made a meritorious contribution and killed and wounded the leaders of the Qing army in one fell swoop, and the morale of the Qing army, which had just been raised, immediately fell back and fell to the bottom.

Chen Ming tried to launch an attack. Just trying, and not delusional about taking Xiping in one fell swoop. As a result, the Qing soldiers defending the city were in a panic, completely lawless, and the siege troops really killed the city head with only a dozen long ladders, and the Qing soldiers saw that one by one Chen Jiajun soldiers really killed the city, and the Qing soldiers, who were absolutely superior in numbers, did not fight back after a panic, but turned around and fled.

When a group of soldiers of the Chen family army killed from the north city wall to the east and west city walls, and when a group of Chen soldiers from the north city began to kill the south gate of Xiping County, the entire Qing army was in chaos.

In the Battle of Xiping, Chen Ming prepared for a bitter battle. This rain is too untimely, the morale of the Qing soldiers is so high that he has to prepare for a 'hard battle', who knows that the process and ending are like such a child's play?

After catching some prisoners and interrogating them, I learned that Fuyong, the governor of Huguang, Changxuan, the deputy governor of Jingzhou, and Qi Jian'an, the chief soldier of Xing'an Town, were attacked and killed, and one was injured by Jingzhou General Yongrui and Yunyang Town General Ma Wenjie, as well as Yongfu's deputy general Zhou Lian, the first leader of the Qing army, only Zhao Yongji, the deputy general of the Xiangyang City garrison, and Yingshou of the Jingzhou City garrison were still intact, the former did not follow Yongrui to look at the railing of the Beicheng Tower, and the latter was only shot off by a gun, and even the bones were not broken.

Chen Ming immediately knew that it was the sniper's credit, and the sniper team also reported that they had killed and injured a few officials, but no one expected that it would be Yongrui, Fuyong and others. "Honors, honors!" This is really a great thing again.

The deaths and injuries of Yongrui, Fuyong and others were not hidden from the Qing soldiers in the city, and their own soldiers, Goshha and others did not expect to control everyone present and block the news at the moment after the incident. As a result, the news that Yongrui, Fuyong and others were killed or injured spread throughout Xiping like a wind, and the heavy rain did not prevent the spread of this explosive news.

Zhao Yongji and Yingshou had no ability or prestige to lead the whole army, and by the time they realized that they were going to block the news, all the Qing soldiers in Xiping City had already known about it, and their morale and morale had bottomed out. It was at this time that Chen Ming launched an attack, and when the Chen army easily took the north city wall, the Qing soldiers in Xiping City did not unite to fight back with all their might, but the Jingzhou garrison flag soldiers first hugged the unconscious Yongrui and began to run away, so that the Qing army would no longer have a chance to return to the sky.

In the fight and chase, Chen Jiajun was a piece of captured Qing soldiers and flag soldiers, and he also found the bodies of Fuyong, Changxuan and Qi Jian'an who were abandoned in the carriage, as well as the half-dead Ma Wenjie and Zhou Lian, who had swallowed his last breath.

Yingshou also died, and his body was found under the moat of the south gate of Xiping. The body had no wounds and belonged to the drowned. I just don't know if he was squeezed down while escaping, or if he threw himself into the river. Only Zhao Yongji and Yongrui, the deputy generals of the Xiangyang City garrison, were not caught.

The Jingzhou banner soldiers who fled first were also completely defeated, and at dawn, they were attacked by the cavalry battalion and the whole army fled, kneeling cleanly. But only a batch of gold and silver goods were found in the carriage in the middle of the procession, and Yongrui was gone.

From Xiping to the south is Suiping, then Queshan, and finally Xinyang, and the four cities are almost in a straight line. In the 21st century, Chen Ming remembered that there were railways and highways running through the north and south, but at the present time, the official road went southeast from Xiping to Shangcai, and then along the Nam Ru River to Ruyang, the capital county of Runing Province, and then went to Gwangju on a partial side, and returned to Xinyang after a circle in Gwangju.

Chen Ming didn't think that the strength of the Chen family army could swallow the entire Runing Mansion and hold Wusheng Pass in his hands, so his target was limited to Ruyang City. Waving the army chased all the way in the direction of the Qing army's escape, and this feeling of chasing the north was really good.

After taking Shangcai, Chen Ming did not continue to lead his troops south, and he handed over the task of chasing and killing to Chen Erbao. Chen Erbao, who is located north of the Rolling River, his battalion leader Chen Ming is preparing to return to Yuncheng, because Xiping is too easy to take, and he will be transferred to the army again during the pursuit.

Chen Ming still doesn't know if the Anhui Green Camp outside Yuncheng has retreated, Yongrui's Qing army collapsed too suddenly, it exceeded his expectations, yesterday he was busy chasing and killing and capturing Qing soldiers and didn't say anything, now if the whole army goes to chase and suppress the Qing soldiers, nearly 10,000 Qing soldiers have been killed and captured five or six thousand people, the remaining part of the flight to the south, part of the scattered to the countryside, and then use all the strength to chase and suppress a bit of a knife to kill the chicken.

Chen Ming pursues the maximization of interests, and the remaining troops can be used in Yuncheng, the Qing army in Anhui, and Chen Huizu.
