Realizing that he was supported by the Qing Dynasty, the son-in-law of the Feng family watched the guerrilla general away at the city, and hurried back home, reported to his parents, and comforted his wife who had cried and cried since he received the news, leaving only Feng Qi to lead the way for the guerrilla general.

Regarding Hengdian Town, the guerrilla general had not been to the encirclement and suppression of Zhou Qingui. Therefore, after he got on the road, he just asked a few questions and ignored Feng Qi, but just kept moving forward at the speed.

It was already the evening of August 22. After the daytime march, the Qing army finally arrived at a small village near Daqiao Mountain between Dongyang County and Hengdian Town. In fact, the Qing army marched locally, with a large number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians accompanying them. It could have been faster, but in the eyes of the guerrilla general, it was not necessary to do so.

It had been a day and two nights since the bandits surrounded the town. Although the explorers sent out earlier returned the bandits to stand in the east of the town, and the people near Hengdian Town claimed that the bandits were left for two days to consider, in the eyes of the guerrilla general, it was clear that the bandits were trying to take advantage of the bandits and had no intention of slaughtering the town. As long as he accelerated to reach Hengdian Town before the bandits discovered tomorrow, he could easily defeat them and then start chasing them, and then get the credit.

Although it is far less than the bandits who can get more benefits when they arrive when they capture the town, he has no choice but to let these bandits not cooperate.

"When I catch the bandit leader, I must ask clearly. Is it worthy to be a thief?"

After driving all the people in the village out, the Qing army set up camp directly in the village, saving the time to set up camp. After dinner, the guerrilla general hugged the singing girl who accompanied him to sleep. As for what he liked to do on weekdays, he was spared today, so who would have to meet the war tomorrow?

After nightfall, the fields outside the village were mostly suppressed crying from the people who had nowhere to go. However, near a field next to the village, several men covered in cloth had observed the situation in the village from afar and disappeared into the dark night.

The next morning, the guerrilla general instructed the officers and personal soldiers to wake up the soldiers and civilians, and then set off to speed up to Hengdian Town to prevent the bandits besieging the town from escaping.

Under the whipping of officers and personal soldiers, the Qing army soldiers and civilians had a much faster journey. Until noon, they crossed Jitou Mountain in the north of Hengdian Town.

After marching for most of the day, even in the morning, I only ate some dry food. Not only the civilians, but also the soldiers were a little hungry. The guerrilla general thought about it and decided to use the method that Qi Shaobao had used when he heard about the storyteller in the county town a few days ago.

"I inform the entire army that the bandits are in Hengdian Town two miles away to kill all the bandits. I will join you and others to have dinner."

While fighting on hunger, the generals who came along the horses also claimed to share the joys and sorrows. They were only taken by the great reputation of military law and Ma Jinbao's troops in oppressing the people. The soldiers and civilians of the Qing army did not dare to say anything, so they had to bite the bullet and continue to march. Fortunately, they did not go far, and the bandits did not flee after discovering that the Qing army had arrived. Instead, they went forward to fight and blocked the road between the Qing army and Hengdian Town.

Looking at the Qing army that was in full swing, whether it was Chen Wen or the officers and soldiers under his command, their faces were full of disdain.

The location of the Qing army in front of me was not as good as I had encountered the Qing army before, and then the attack was in a place where only bows, arrows, birds and guns could not be hit. In addition, the speed of the Qing army's entire team was much slower than expected, and even under the urging of the officers, it was not faster.

Chen Wen knew that the Qing army clearly looked down on them, "bandits" with all kinds of cloth on their heads, wearing people's clothes, and various weapons in their hands. However, the speed of the entire team was really embarrassing. Not only could it be compared with the magistrate camp that Chen Wen had faced, but even the Shaoxing Green Camp felt better than them.

"Master, should you attack before the Tartars are established? The general is willing to take the lead in charge!"

The person who spoke was Chen Guobao. Since joining Chen Wen's command, he handed over the military power of the cavalry in his headquarters without hesitation. Chen Wen also gave him a title of sergeant general and ordered him to assist the command of the Nantangying Central Army Cavalry Deputy General Li Ruixin to train the Central Army Cavalry Team.

With such credit and identity, Chen Guobao successfully became Chen Wen's direct subordinate. However, he had a short time to join Nantangying, so he naturally could not compare with the three deputy generals appointed by Wu Dengke, Li Ruixin and Yin Yue, the three Lu Supervisors appointed by Wu Dengke, Li Ruixin and Yin Yue, and even could not compare with Lou Jiye, who was also a general.

Chen Guobao knew that as a warrior, he should fight side by side with his comrades on the battlefield, and only after showing his abilities could he be recognized by others, so at this moment he was particularly eager to get the opportunity to prove himself.

"General Chen, there is no need to worry, let them slowly build the team. Just a group of native chickens and dogs, no matter how well the team is, they must not be the power of my battle in Nantang Camp."

Chen Wen knew that in the history of the early Qing Dynasty, Ma Jinbao was not a war-going general, and his troops were not only far from being able to compare with elite troops like Supervisor, Pac and Upgrade, in Zhejiang, including Dinghai General Zhang Jie and Taizhou General Ma Xin, the Zhenbiao camp, which included Dinghai General Zhang Jie and Taizhou General Ma Xin, was also stronger than his troops.

In the previous battles that Ma Jinbao participated in, any one who won was either Jin's thighs or the opponent was just a rebel army, and his combat power was even weaker. Otherwise, he would either play soybeans throughout the journey or be beaten on the ground. During the siege of Zhangzhou by Zheng Chenggong, Ma Jinbao led his troops to aid, but after being released into the city by Zheng Chenggong, he only went out of the city to break through once and went back. It was not until Jin Li defeated Zheng Chenggong that he came out of the city, which shows his combat ability.

However, the ability to command and train the army was not the only criterion for promotion and wealth. Ma Jinbao not only commanded the four governments of Jinhua, Quzhou, Yanzhou and Chuzhou for many years, but later climbed to the position of Admiral Su Song, and was even ordered to enter the flag.

Although he was a general army, he had one advantage, that is, he was good at scraping the ground and was better at currying favor with Shangguan. In history, before Ma Jinbao lost power, every Shangguan favored him, and even protected him more.

When Chen Wen went to Dalan Mountain, Ma Jinbao was ordered to besiege the rebel army of He Zhaolong in Wenzhou. However, before that, Zhejiang was rumored that Ma Jinbao colluded with Zhou Hezhi and He Zhaolong was ready for any reason. Such a suspicious person would not be sent to attack the people who colluded with him in the rumors. If he really colluded with him, he would naturally lead the army, and even attract more Ming troops to attack the Wenzhou Prefecture along the coast; but if he did not plan to do so for the time being, he could also kill people to silence him or create fake evidence to escape from the crime.

But even so, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Chen Jin, still sent him to fight. Even Zhejiang Governor Xiao Qiyuan and Zhejiang Inspector at that time were always defending him to the Qing court without regard for the possible risks. It is self-evident how many tricks are hidden in it.

In addition, in history, before Ma Jinbao became the admiral of Susong, he went to Beijing to meet the slave chief Shunzhi. It is said that he carried "more than twenty treasures, millions of gold and silver, and other things were beyond measure, and they stretched hundreds of miles" on the way to Beijing, and this was only used to bribe the powerful Qing Dynasty and officials in the court.

At that time, there was a Minister of War named Liang Qingbiao. Just because he criticized Ma Jinbao for his kneeling ceremony in person, he was highly praised by Shunzhi as "Shangshu Liang is worthy of the distance between ministers." From this point of view, Ma Jinbao's actions during his time in Beijing can be seen.

In fact, Ma Jinbao's Zhenbiao camp was not as unbearable as Chen Wen estimated, and was always better than Shaoxing Green Camp. It was just that these soldiers got up early in the morning and had not eaten at noon. All this was due to their generals' underestimation of the enemy against Chen Wen and the group of "bandits".

The Qing army finished the team slowly and took the lead in launching the attack. Chen Wen did not intend to continue to be polite, and directly ordered the Nantangying, who was dressed as a bandit, to send the four-poster killer team that had already been arranged to fight, and the firearm team only had some soldiers carrying bows and arrows to provide support to him.

Almost all teams in the first game of Nantang Camp were composed of veterans. These were trained for about a year and had been defeated by the elite Zhejiang Green Camp such as Tibiao Zuoying. In terms of combat effectiveness, they were naturally not comparable to those of the Qing army in front of them.

On the battlefield, the Qing army used bird guns to shoot at the Ming army, and after the Ming army's archers counterattacked, they also began to get in a hurry until the hand-to-hand infantry of the two armies collided completely.

There are more than 300 people in this Biaoying in Jinhua Town. Including the part of the group who is besieging Luo Chengyan with the regiment training, as well as the Qing army guarding the city gates and Yiwu and Lanxi counties in Dongyang County, it happens to be the same battalion.

The tactics used by these Qing troops are no different from other Qing troops, but they are far less elite than the elite camp of the Tibiao Battalion. Now, against the Nantangying Yuanyang Formation Killer Team, which is difficult for even the Tibiao Battalion to compete in hand-to-hand combat, these soldiers of the Jinhua Town Biao Battalion are even less of an opponent.

After dozens of casualties, the Qing army began to retreat step by step. When Nantang Camp launched a charge, this retreat completely turned into a defeat.

To the north of Hengdian Town, the Qing army in Biaoying in Jinhua Town was beaten to death by a group of bandits dressed in a row. Even the auxiliary soldiers and civilians who accompanied them joined the ranks of fleeing north. The people in Hengdian Town were stunned. No one could imagine that they were so arrogant that they were so arrogant that they were defeated by a group of bandits on weekdays.

The Qing army that came to aid was defeated, and Hengdian Town seemed to be unable to escape. Just as the mayor was thinking about countermeasures, the bandits in front of them no longer surrounded the town, but instead headed north. Mr. Feng, who had been anxious about whether he could survive the disaster, couldn't help but worry about his daughter and son-in-law in the city. God knows whether these bandits will take advantage of the chaos to capture the city.

A day later, Nantangying followed some Qing army and civilians who escaped back to the city by luck. Since the guerrilla general who was responsible for the city guard disappeared in this battle, the magistrate of Dongyang County asked for help from Jinhua Prefecture while summoning civilians to assist the remaining Qing army in the defense.
