The people's army suddenly rushed into Shanxi, Yuanqu, Taiping and other counties fell, the government and the opposition were shocked, and the eight families didn't care much, after all, the distance was still far away, and the officials and troops of Taiyuan Mansion had already gathered young and strong, making all kinds of preparations, but when the people's army suddenly appeared in Taiyuan Mansion and Jizhou County fell, they could no longer sit still.

Shanxi is the territory of the eight families, Taiyuan Mansion is their old nest, Taigu County under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture rich businessmen and giants gathered, is the financial and commercial center of the north, known as the "dry wharf, small Beijing Division" reputation, if let the people's army rage, it is simply a catastrophe in the future.

At the same time, the eight major families united all the merchants in Shanxi to donate money and grain to the government, and at the same time put pressure on the governor Yang He, forcing him to send troops to clear the people's army, and at the same time gathered the family and Qingzhuang to form a 20,000-strong Taiyuan militia to cooperate with the 8,000 Taiyuan army to kill the county seat of Jizhou. Pingyang, Fenzhou, Lu'an, and Datong also sent their own soldiers and horses to kill Jizhou County, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

Zhu Jian knew that the combat strength of the garrisons in various parts of the Ming Dynasty was all the scum of war, especially the county town with low walls and small troops, and going out of the city to fight field battles with the people's army was simply to give people their heads and send war exploits, so he specially issued a special decree, requiring all counties and counties to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements, and not to attack without authorization, and violators clicked.

The state capital has a large number of troops, and can attack according to the situation, mainly to reinforce the county to relieve the siege, block and drag the people's army, if it is not possible, you can retreat and stick to the city, the city wall of the state capital is high and strong, if you still lose the city, you will be held responsible.

Zhu Jian's strategic intention is to defend the city to the death, drag and block the people's army, if the city falls, he can only blame the incompetence of the chief official, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu The three armies are the main force to fight a tough battle, how can they kill people without dying, and the loss of several small county towns is within the range of losses he expected.

Although the Shanxi Prefecture Army dispatched the Fifth Route Army, due to the time of the expedition and the distance of the marching route, it was impossible to reach the county seat of Jizhou at the same time without a unified command, and in fact they were fighting separately.

The people's army set up an ambush in Funiu Mountain, defeated the Lu'an army, killed more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, and then marched quickly to ambush the Fenzhou army in Feilong Gorge, killing nearly 2,000 officers and soldiers, seizing a large number of weapons and equipment, and increasing the combat strength of the redressed people's army by one or two points.

Immediately afterwards, the people's army with the might of successive victories in the vicinity of Jingyang Town and the Datongfu army to fight, Li Zicheng gathered the few war horses in the battalion, personally led, braved the rain of locusts and arrows and stray bullets to rush into the formation, the fierce general Liu Zongmin was very powerful, the first to break into the defensive phalanx of the official army, from the front of the formation to the back of the formation, and then turn the horse's head to rush back to kill, the defensive phalanx of the official army was chiseled through three times, and finally collapsed, scattered and fled, the people's army chased after the rear and killed, killed more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, and seized a large number of weapons and equipment and other trophies.

The people's army won all three battles, and inferior weapons such as wooden sticks, hoes, and burning sticks were replaced by iron swords and spears, and there were also hundreds of muskets such as bird guns and Lumi guns, and there were a total of seven Franc machine guns.

Liu Ze, the chief officer of the Pingyang Prefecture Army, saw that the civilian army was strong, and with the prestige of winning all three battles, he did not dare to fight, and retreated to Yixian County, which enhanced the defensive ability of Yixian County, and also blocked the way for the people's army to flow to the southeast.

Wang Ziyong originally wanted to eat the Pingyang Mansion Army again, but Liu Ze flinched and retreated to defend the Yixian County, while the civilian army did not have many heavy siege equipment, and the strong attack would have heavy casualties.

After tossing back and forth for a few battles, the people's army won a series of brilliant results, a large number of good equipment was replaced, but it also delayed the time of wandering, and was caught up by Sun Chuanting, and the five hundred cavalry of the forward battalion had haunted Jizhou County like a ghost, killing and capturing some scouts of the people's army.

However, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army will need at least five days or so to reach Jizhou, and Qin Liangyu's white pole army will also need about six or seven days at the earliest, and the two armies are still desperately on the way.

Sun Chuanting's army was only half a day's journey from Jizhou, but he did not rush to the road, but set up camp on the spot, let the tired soldiers have a good rest, and he received a mysterious guest in the tent of the Chinese army.

The guest's surname is Pang, he looks ordinary, in his thirties, dressed in a beautiful costume, and there are several powerful-looking entourage guards around him, who is by no means an ordinary scholar.

After Pang Xiuchang bowed respectfully to Sun Chuanting, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting read the letter, his expression looked very strange, but he still nodded, politely hugged his fist to Pang Xiuchang, handed back the secret letter to him, and then lay on the military map and looked at it for a while, nodded again, indicating that he understood.

Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu, who were on the way, also received the same secret letter with the same content, both of them also reacted like Sun Chuanting, their expressions looked strange, and after reading the military map, they both nodded and said OK.

After the secret envoy left, Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu respectively urged the army to continue to rush desperately, the front and middle armies advanced lightly, and the rear army was responsible for guarding the logistics and followed behind slowly.

When Sun Chuanting's forward cavalry battalion haunted the city of Jizhou, Wang Ziyong and others were extremely nervous, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong's four armies were not ordinary war five scum officers and soldiers, well-equipped, but also fierce, many times the people's army was beaten miserably, for no one wanted to PK with such an army, this will be chased by Sun Chuanting's army, one by one regretted it, I knew this, I should have fought the Taiyuan army first, and then continue to run, and Sun Chuanting continue to play peek-a-boo, It's not cost-effective to be greedy for a little cheap and delay time.

When the leaders were in pain, a scout came to report that Sun Chuanting's forward cavalry had withdrawn, and the main army of Sun Chuanting moved to the northeast.

Wang Ziyong and other leaders looked at the map, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Chuanting led the army to the northeast is normal, as long as the people's army rushes to the northeast for a while, it can threaten the capital of the Ming Emperor, Jingshi, it must be a little faint Jun panicked, so he ordered Sun Ziting to lead the army to guard the pass into the Beijing Division, and strictly prevent the people's army from flowing into the territory of the Beijing Division.

Wang Ziyong and others are still self-aware, although the Beijing division is rich, but with the current strength of the people's army, running into the territory of the Beijing division is simply looking for death, they just want to stir up a while in Shanxi, and then depending on the war situation, the general strategic goal is to capture Taiyuan Mansion, if not, but also to run into Taigu County to loot the general and then run away, Sun Chuanting moved to the northeast direction, guarding the pass into the Beijing division, which is equivalent to no longer threatening the people's army.

As for the two-way army of Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu, it will take five or six days to reach the county seat of Jizhou at the earliest, and during this period, it is enough for the people's army to beat the Taiyuan army.

"Brother Wang, I am willing to lead the brothers in the camp to play forward."

"Brother Wang, I am willing to lead the ......"

For a time, the confidence of the leaders of all walks of life skyrocketed, and their fighting spirit was excited, and they shouted for battle.
