Guide Town deputy general Duan Qiang's eyes widened with anger, and the corners of his eyes almost burst. He held a single sword and shouted, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"

However, on this battlefield where the sound of killing was overwhelming, his shouting alone was too insignificant. The soldiers on the left and right were dragging him alive. Seeing that Duan Qiang still wanted to die here, the soldiers simply pulled the single sword from Duan Qiang's hand, then put Duan Qiang on his back and started running for his life.

After nearly two-quarters of an hour of hand-to-hand fighting, the Guide Town battalion and militiamen, who had an obvious numerical advantage, could not stop Chen Jiajun's life-threatening charge, and they were defeated. When Chen Ming saw the hand-to-hand fighting between the two sides, he ordered the Chen Wenzan Battalion to reinforce the front line. The Chen Jiajun invested four battalions with a strength of 1,500 men, while the Qing army had 2,000 men from the Guide Town camp and more than 1,000 men from the East Henan militia.

Chen Erbao personally led the troops to charge into the battle. His soldiers were vulnerable to artillery shells, but they could definitely fight when wielding knives to fight for their lives, especially when they had grenades hanging on their chests.

Rong Hua, who was in the rear line with a pale face, directed the rest of the Qing army to go and meet Duan Qiang. After the defeat of Chen Jiajun in Yunyang Town, Guide Town also suffered a clean defeat. Fortunately, fortunately there is a military stronghold behind this battlefield.

Ma Wenjie on the high platform glanced at Ford's not-so-good expression, thought for a while and then said: "Sir, the Chen family's thieves have strong armor and sharp guns. It is unbelievable and shocking. Although we are even We were defeated, but luckily we were able to gain a foothold and did not make the same mistake as Nanyang Town. You should quickly report the emergency to Kaifeng and ask for reinforcements.”

After these two battles, there were a series of scattered small battles. The Qing army's elite troops who dared to fight suffered heavy losses, and their morale was particularly low. If it hadn't been for the fact that several strong military strongholds had been set up in succession before the war began, which served as a barrier to provide an additional layer of protection for the Qing army, the massive army of 13 to 4000 troops in the two towns of Guide and Yunyang would have been defeated in a ruthless manner. And escaped.

Ford's face was solemn, and without even looking at Ma Wenjie, he threw up his sleeves and walked off the platform.

Ma Wenjie sighed, looked at the defeated soldiers who were herding sheep, and walked off the high platform.

I think back then, not a few days after this 'back then', he, Ma Wenjie, led his troops from Runing to Yancheng in a fierce attack, and he came with pride and contempt for Henan Green Camp. I just thought that the Green Camp in Henan was too cowardly, which made Chen Jiajun famous. Who would have thought that the Chen family thieves could really fight and kill?

It stands to reason that the Chen family in Lushan is just a little bumpkin, occupying one-third of an acre of land. If they don't tell Lushan, no one will attack them. Even in Lushan County, the power and prestige of the Chen family are greater than that of the Chen family. There are quite a few of them. How could such a poor family become so violent once trouble broke out?

Let’s not talk about the Chen family’s thieves’ armor and sharp firearms. Let’s just say that the array of Chen’s thieves is very powerful. Each array is as neat as tofu blocks, and they look more like officers and soldiers than officers and soldiers.

The Chen family is a wealthy family. Where did they get this ability? Especially the leader of the army, Chen Ming, is the direct son of the Chen family and is said to be less than 18 years old. However, the imperial court defeated its generals one after another and led the troops to defeat the weak and the strong repeatedly, which was extremely powerful.

Ma Wenjie is no longer the same Ma Wenjie he was at the beginning. After seeing the power of Chen Jiajun, he has long since thrown away his initial "eyes" and turned around to rejoice that he built the village first. Otherwise, the soldiers and horses in the two towns of Guide and Yunyang would have collapsed long ago.

Chen Jiajun's hand-to-hand soldiers carried long spears and swords, shouted and killed the Qing army corpses all over the ground, and began to fiercely pursue the fleeing Qing army. This was a complete one-sided massacre. The frightened Qing army who had been killed ran away, showing their generous backs to resist Chen Jiajun's swords and guns.

The reserve forces of the Qing army appeared on the left and right sides, including hundreds of shotgun soldiers and light artillery. The pursuing Chen Jiajun could only stop in his tracks. The two sides returned to a state of confrontation. One part of the Chen Jiajun was alert, while the other part began to collect prisoners and trophies. Those cannons and gunpowder, as well as shotguns and swords, all need to be packed away.

Can the shotguns, swords and guns be reserved for later distribution to the troops left behind?

Ronghua closed his eyes. This tragic defeat made him so depressed that he couldn't breathe, and Guide Town was too inexperienced.

"Brother Zecheng, these Chen family thieves are extraordinary. When I was working in Xiangxi, I also dealt with local old bandits. Although those people were fierce, they were stragglers and couldn't fight. The other generation They mainly focus on luring the enemy, close combat, surprise attacks, and side attacks. How can they be like this Chen family thief, who fights head-on, has a well-organized formation, and fights hard, and his fighting style is better than that of officers and soldiers! "

In the Qing army camp at night, Rong Hua, who had suffered a huge defeat during the day, sat down with Ma Wenjie, the commander-in-chief of Yunyang Town. Rong Hua said as he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. It was hard to tell whether it was emotion or self-mockery on his face.

Ma Wenjie's character is sincerity, which is taken from "The Book of Rites" "Sincerity means it is clear". The word "ronghua" means "prolonging life". It has no ancient meaning. It is a symmetry. "Prosperity, wealth and honor extend life and years."

What Ronghua said was not exactly what Ma Wenjie wanted to say. The Chen family's army was very serious in fighting, and showed no intention of being a bandit. Ma Wenjie was so surprised that he died. Didn't Chen Ming, who led the Chen family thieves step by step until now, build such a powerful army from scratch in just half a year?

Is that guy an unborn genius? Or did you get some inheritance? This is simply unbelievable. If it weren't for the fact that he was right in front of his eyes, Ma Wenjie wouldn't believe it.

"Genius? Not born yet?" Ronghua poured another glass of wine, "This is impossible. Where in the world can someone be born with knowledge? Wouldn't that be a monster? He must have got some military book. And the manufacture and training of firearms, ordinary people, he knows nothing. I have been in the army for decades, but I am still confused. How can Chen Ming, a young man under 20, be so good at training?"

"Brother Zecheng. When this Chen family thief first appeared, I won't hide it from you. I didn't believe the memorial reported by the Ruzhou government at all. It was pure nonsense.

He has been harboring rebellious intentions for a long time, making weapons and firearms privately. Is his Chen family ancestor surnamed Zhu? Or is the Chen family the leader of a cult? Worshiping the Mother of No Life and Maitreya Buddha?"

Ronghua's face was full of ridicule. They all make a living in the local area. With decades of experience, how could he not know what kind of character the local officials are? But now he really believes it.

"I really believe it. Otherwise, where did they get so many armors? Where did they get so many guns?"

Ma Wenjie clinked glasses with Ronghua: "It's good that the Chen family army looks like officers and soldiers. At least they run slower. If they really look like a group of bandits, they will bring disaster to the whole western Henan."

"If we fight like this, we won't talk about the defeat of Nanyang Town. For us, as long as we don't lose everything, we can fight with the bandits and wait for reinforcements from other places to arrive and surround them. This battle will be easy to fight."
