Chen Tingxiang stood on the mountain and used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the military situation under the mountain.

To this day, his mind is still very confused, why did the landlord and the peasant become thieves together?

The imperial court was not paid enough, the reward was not given, and the soldiers plundered and made a fortune by themselves, which is a principle that is valid everywhere. He didn't go too far, the north encircled and suppressed the Liukou, most of the officers and soldiers were like this, otherwise he would not have been able to fight for a long time.

Even Sun Chuanting, who served as the governor of Shaanxi this year, has long since relaxed the constraints on his subordinates because the imperial court has been underpaid.

There is no way, you can't raise soldiers without grabbing food.

And once the restraint is relaxed, military discipline will be like the water that has broken the embankment, and it will not be able to recover it if you want to. Sun Chuanting's pacesetter may be better, but it is only better, since he led the troops in Shaanxi, he has been impeached and corrupted by military discipline.

The subordinates burned and looted the people, but Sun Chuanting pretended not to see it, and did not encourage or punish it.

What can Sun Chuanting do?

He appeared too late, and when he became the governor and commander of the army, the imperial court's finances were on the verge of collapse. If he didn't acquiesce in the robbery of his subordinates, those officers and soldiers under his command would dare to show him what it means to be a mutiny!

In the entire late Ming Dynasty, only Lu Xiangsheng treated the people well, and the military discipline was very strict. The Tianxiong army once went without food for three days, did not collapse, did not make noise, did not plunder, and finally won the battle. At that time, Lu Xiangsheng distributed the last rations, and as the coach, he accompanied the soldiers to starve for three days.

So Chen Ting felt incomprehensible, all over the country was doing this, why did he only kick the iron plate?

Because there are people in tandem!

A missionary from a poor scholar's background, he ran to connect with the landlords and gentry. Missionaries and peasant union leaders from poor backgrounds went to connect local yeoman farmers and tenants.

As long as someone organizes the tandem to take the lead, and Fei Ruhe leads the troops as the backing, what are you afraid of? In just a few days, a force of landlords and peasants was pulled out.

"Lord Taishan," Huang Hanliang put down the clairvoyant mirror, "Our army is condescending, and we can send the main force to defeat the local militia." Those are all rabble, not even in formation, one in the east, one in the west, and the volley of fire will inevitably rout. Once these people are defeated, it is likely to lead to the defeat of the old thieves from Luling, and then our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue. ”

Chen Tingxiang sighed: "It can only be like this." ”

In fact, this series of battles is particularly strange, completely beyond the scope of Chen Ting's cognition.

He risked crossing the river to set up an ambush, which was also a helpless move, because the thieves formed a peasant association outside the city and trained peasant soldiers. The longer the time drags on, the stronger the anti-thief will be, and Chen Ting must take risks.

Immediately, Chen Ting was on guard against the weak brigade and sent an elite alliance of landlords and peasants.

"Bang bang bang!"

A volley of fire from the firearm battalion caused more than 3,000 militiamen to flee in an instant.

Several Fujian generals took the opportunity to cover up the killing, and nearly 10,000 militiamen collapsed on all fronts. Most of them scattered and fled, and a few rushed towards Fei Ruhe's main force.

When the sound of firecrackers came from the friendly side, which meant that the elite officers and soldiers were not in sight, Fei Ruhe immediately ordered the whole army to attack.

This tactic was learned by Fei Ruhe from Zhao Han.

You hit yours, I'll hit mine.

Fei Ruhe was too lazy to rescue those friendly troops, and he didn't even leave the reserves, so he desperately went to the direction of the officers and soldiers.

More than 5,000 Datong troops began to rush towards the mountain.

Fei Ruhe, who was still a wise general before, is now incarnated as a fierce general, rushing to the front with his own soldiers.

"Woohoo!"

The officers and soldiers were still hiding the bow and arrow troops, and Fei Ruhe rushed halfway through it, and six arrows had been shot on his body. Some arrows landed, and some arrows were still stuck in him, which couldn't stop Fei Ruhe's charge. Anyway, he was wearing cotton armor and a bamboo helmet with iron plates embedded in his head, as long as he didn't get shot in the face and neck.

The main general charged ahead, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted.

The elite officers and soldiers were all sent to fight the landlord and peasant coalition army, and the defense left was relatively weak, and the timing of Fei Ruhe's attack was just right.

If he hesitates for a moment, the friendly forces flee completely, and Fei Ruhe will be flanked from both sides.

When Fei Ruhe led the army to attack the mountain, the moment the two sides came into contact, the weak brigade of officers and soldiers immediately opened a hole.

"Fill it in with me!"

Chen Ting is worthy of being a martial champion, and he doesn't know what it means to be afraid.

Seeing that there was a gap in his own front, he immediately led the Chinese army to fill it.

The manager bumps into the manager!

"Phew!"

Chen Tingxiang slashed down suddenly, and with the help of the power of the charge from above, he wanted to hack Fei Ruhe to death on the spot.

"Dang!"

Fei Ruhe hurriedly blocked with a horizontal knife, and was numb by the shock, and even half of his arm was numb.

This guy has a lot of strength!

Chen Ting was unforgiving, and he slashed again, Fei Ruhe couldn't change his moves, so he could only block in a panic again.

"Dang!"

The war knife in Fei Ruhe's hand was directly split by Chen Ting. He also ignored the above, hurriedly took advantage of the momentum to pounce, and then rolled down the slope back into the formation.

Going back in a physical sense, Fei Ruhe has never been so embarrassed.

"Kill!"

Chen Tingwei still wanted to chase and kill, and stabbed a few wolf whisks head-on. Not only is this thing vicious, but it's also insidious, and it can obstruct the view.

At this moment, several pikemen crossed the shield wall and poked Chen Ting's throat and calf.

Chen Tingwei hurriedly dodged the vital point, and his calf, which was not well protected by the armor, was poked, so frightened that Chen Tingzheng also hurriedly retreated into the formation.

The commanders of the two sides fought like this, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

However, the troops fighting next to them quickly divided the winners and losers.

The attack was all elite Datong soldiers, while Chen Ting's defense was left behind by the weaker combat units. To put it bluntly, all of them were recruited two years ago by Fujian Xiangyong, who had defeated the peasant army at the junction of the three provinces, and he only trained once in eight days.

Chen Ting's two-wing front collapsed little by little, and when he saw this, he shouted: "If you top half a pillar of incense, you will win if you top half a pillar of incense!" ”

Indeed, if you top half a pillar of incense, you won.

Because his son-in-law Huang Hanliang had already defeated the landlord and peasant coalition army, and returned to the mountain with the elite, trying to flank the thieves from front to back.

At that time, the thief will be defeated!

However, there was no half pillar of incense, and a tenth of the pillar of incense did not resist.

"Kill!"

A general of the Datong army, named Liu Erliang, who was born as a tenant, took the lead in defeating the enemy in front of him. He immediately led his troops to help the friendly army, and carried out a flank attack on a sentry Fujian soldier, just like a hammer smashing tofu, and smashed the enemy's formation in an instant.

It was as if the dominoes had fallen, and the Fujian soldiers had collapsed one after another.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Ting, who was still brave and unparalleled before, and fled for his life in embarrassment, immediately fled with his own soldiers.

"Chase the enemy from one post to ten posts, and be sure to chase the enemy until they scatter and flee for their lives. The rest of the troops, the whole army to defend against the enemy! ”

Fei Ruhe finally picked up his steel knife and began to give orders calmly.

This knife is also about to be scrapped, and it was cut out by Chen Ting, Wu Zhuangyuan is really not an ordinary person.

"Listen to the order, wind up!"

A thousand archers bent their bows and arrows, facing the elite officers and soldiers attacking from the bottom of the mountain, and condescendingly fired a volley.

"Come back, come back quickly!"

Huang Hanliang took a thousand fire battalions and wanted to continue the attack. Who knew that the other officers and soldiers and generals all fled with their troops, and when they saw that the commander on the mountain had been defeated, how could they have the courage to continue fighting?

"Follow me!"

"Doodoo Dot Da ......"

Fei Ruhe ordered the charge again, the suona sounded the trumpet, and the four thousand soldiers descended the mountain like a tiger.

"Bang bang bang!"

Huang Hanliang had one last chance left, and he asked the Fire Gun Battalion to aim all at Fei Ruhe's handsome banner.

However, before the Datong soldiers could enter the effective firing range, those Fujian firecrackers fired in advance, and then turned around and fled despite Huang Hanliang's military orders.

Huang Hanliang could only flee with him, but he escaped late and was soon caught up by the Datong soldiers.

This man also wanted to fight desperately, and was stabbed to death by several spears.

A prodigy-born, civil and military man, recruited troops to resist the Qing Dynasty and died in history. At this moment, he died on the nameless hillside outside Ganzhou City, and he never fought a serious bloody battle with the anti-thieves from beginning to end.

"The Fujian soldiers lost, the Fujian soldiers lost!"

The missionaries and backbone of the peasant associations, who were mixed in with the defeated militia, immediately cheered with joy when they heard the trumpet of the charge coming from the mountain.

They gathered the routs along the way, turned back, and beat the water dogs.

And those Fujian elites who fled in defeat did not have a single wound on their bodies, and in the face of the super weak peasant soldiers, they could not raise the courage to fight at all.

The battlefield under the mountain is chaotic, and the peasant army is armed with hoes, flat poles, kitchen knives, and bamboo guns. They have no formation to speak of, a bunch in the east and a group in the west, chasing and killing the elite soldiers of Fujian.

Whenever any Fujian elite fell, they immediately rushed up and beat him.

Sometimes, a handful of Fujian elites counterattacked, and the peasants and soldiers who were frightened several times over.

The mountains are full of deserters, there are pursuers everywhere, and sometimes it is even impossible to figure out who is on the run and who is chasing.

Chen Ting, the commander-in-chief of Fujian, rushed down the mountain from the north and fled all the way into the mountains further north. After entering the mountain, he finally didn't see the pursuers again, he hurriedly counted the number of people, and suddenly his eyes turned black with anger.

There were only about forty people left around him......

The rest of the troops, including his own soldiers, had completely dispersed, and there was no desire to reunite in a foreign land.

Chen Ting didn't dare to delay, rested for a while, and continued to flee for his life in the mountains, he had to find the nearby county seat as soon as possible. As soon as he entered the county seat, he immediately wrote a letter to complain and threw the pot on Zou Weilian.

The content has been thought about, Fujian Governor Zou Weilian, the whole family was caught by the thief, so he secretly commanded from the thief. Zou Weilian first stood still, sat back and watched the anti-thieves occupy Wan'an Tianwei, and then commanded the navy to send the anti-thieves into the trap, causing the main force of Fujian officers and soldiers to be surrounded by the anti-thieves.

It's all the governor's fault!

Fei Ruhe spent a day and a night cleaning the battlefield, capturing more than 3,000 officers and soldiers.

In fact, there were more prisoners, but the local gentry and peasants killed prisoners to vent their anger, and many Fujian soldiers would rather jump into the river and escape than be caught by the local villagers.

Only six of the dead shipwrights who were responsible for luring the enemy were dead, and more than 80 were missing, and they did not know where they were washed ashore, or their bodies could not be found after they drowned.

Just when Fei Ruhe moved his division to cross the river and planned to surround Ganzhou City, Gu Jianshan suddenly received a military order: the sailor division immediately went north to fight!

Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of the five southern provinces, could not sit idly by and watch the friendly forces in Ganzhou be besieged.

His idea is very correct, Zou Weilian only needs to guard Ganzhou City until the autumn harvest is completed on his side. As long as there was autumn grain and the food was sufficient, Zhu Xieyuan sent troops to attack Fengcheng County and forced the main force of the anti-thieves to withdraw from Ganzhou.

In this way, the thieves can be exhausted, and Ganzhou City can be saved.

Perhaps, Zou Weilian can still send troops from Ganzhou and take the opportunity to defeat Wan'an County!
