After more than half an afternoon of tug-of-war, the northern part of Yiwu County had been completely wiped out by the Qing army. Not only the Ming army and the righteous, but also the people who did not choose to leave were completely reduced to broken corpses.

At first, the Ming army was able to continue to compete with the Qing army for more important streets and alleys with the Yuanyang formation and understanding of the terrain. However, as the losses of soldiers gradually increased, the Ming army guarding the city gradually gave up this kind of competition and turned to resistance step by step. However, even so, the Fubiao Battalion of the Qing army attacking Yiwu still relied on the absolute advantage of its troops to press the Ming army to the south of the county town, until the Ming army was completely crushed or occupied the county town.

As the chief general of the defender who was left in Yiwu County with the rank of garrison, Liu Cheng leaned against the wall and gasped heavily. Liu Cheng was from Taizhou and was the captain of the fourth Yuanyang Formation Killer Team in Nantang Camp. He was the old commander of An Youfu, Ding Keji, Shi Daniu and others, that is, the "Liu Team Head" mentioned by An Youfu.

The first group of captains of Nantang Camp were also one of the most senior intermediate officers under Chen Wen's current command. With his wit and courage again and again, Liu Cheng was not only sent by the bureau chief during this expansion of the army, but also appointed by Chen Wen as the governor of Yiwu during the war.

The generals responsible for guarding the rear were generally the most trusted by the commander. Liu Cheng was illiterate, but he also heard Mr. Shu say this when he was young. Thanks to Chen Wen's trust, Liu Cheng worked diligently with the two new recruits in his hand and the garrison troops left by Ximen Camp to maintain the public order in the county, and cooperated with Sun Yu, the prefect of Jinhua who was left by Yiwu, who organized civil servants to escort military supplies to the Ming army on all sides.

However, seeing his former colleagues and old subordinates rushing to various battlefields, while he was left behind to maintain public order, Liu Cheng was still slightly disgusted with this work from the bottom of his heart.

I thought the days had passed like this, but who knew that Fubiao Camp had bypassed the Dongyang Camp in Zhengjiawu Town, intending to seize the Ming army's rear route and military base.

The Qing army was coming with great force and strong troops, but he only had two new recruits and a very small number of left-behind troops in his hands. The one that needed to defend was a county town without a wall. Even though Sun Yu temporarily organized a group of volunteers for his dispatch, the situation of the enemy being large and the few being small still did not change at all.

Recalling the military tactics and combat experiences that Chen Wen and the senior officers of Nantang Camp over the past year, Liu Cheng soon realized that the Qing army would use the county government as the main attack site, so he persuaded Sun Yu to use the county government to set a trap for the Qing army.

In the sky, the Qing army attacking the county government will definitely be damaged, and they led the troops to repeatedly compete with the Qing army for the streets and alleys in the county. However, even with the power of the Mandarin Duck Formation in the narrow terrain and more familiar with the terrain, the defenders at a serious disadvantage could not expel the Qing army, and even at this moment they could no longer compete for the streets and alleys occupied by the Qing army. They could only try their best to defend the few remaining territory and gain time for the reinforcements. However, according to previous estimates, the reinforcements would not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest, and the few remaining troops in his hands might not be able to support this evening.

The attack of a Qing army had just been repelled. According to the Qing army's previous combat methods, more Qing troops would soon come to suppress it. More than half of the soldiers around him had lost, and more soldiers had been divided by the Qing army into various streets and alleys in the south city of Yiwu County. It was difficult to support each other like this before.

With a brief rest, the impact of fierce fighting on the muscles has gradually faded, but the pain of the wounds has become clearer in the contrast between mental and physical fatigue. Most of the soldiers around them are like this, but the Qing army should have launched a new round of attack soon and have no time to deal with the wounds.

Sun Yu, the prefect of Jinhua who had previously organized a doctor and a civilian to treat the wounded soldiers, had disappeared from the previous battle. As one of the group of officers who had followed Chen Wen for the longest, Liu Cheng knew very well how much Sun Yu was in Chen Wen's mind, but there was no extra force to search for it at present. It can even be said that even if he was unable to defend this residential area, he was unable to do so.

Soon, the Qing army in the distance sounded the horn used to indicate the attack. Under the leadership of Liu Cheng, the Ming army, which was only less than one infantry team, was left beside him, quickly stood up from the resting place with weapons and prepared to fight the upcoming Qing army.

But this time, the Qing army did not launch an attack, but formed a formation and retreated in front of these Ming troops, as if they were afraid that these Ming troops who were in a disadvantaged state would pursue them...

Half an hour ago, a cavalry of more than 100 people arrived behind a hill in the northwest of Yiwu County. The raids waiting to be scattered to figure out the arrangement of the Qing army's Fubiao camp.

According to Chen Wen's arrangement after Fubiao Battalion attacked Yiwu, two reinforcements would march quickly to Yiwu County to fight against the Qing army.

The first was the Dongyang Camp that had been bypassed before. This unit was already coming quickly, but even from Anhua Town to Yiwu, they were two days later than the Qing army at the fastest speed, which was not enough to share the pressure for the defenders; the second reinforcement was led by Chen Wen, including a bureau of Yiwu Camp, some bird gunners borrowed from Yu Guowang, the two posts of the Water Camp in Fotang Town, and the more than a hundred cavalry he drew from the Nantang Camp Cavalry Team.

The reinforcements under Chen Wen's command were nowhere close to Yiwu than Dongyang Camp. If they were assembled, they would not arrive until tomorrow. However, the troops left behind in Yiwu were too small and they would never be able to support it until then. So Chen Wen ordered two posts from YouTang Town to Yiwu from the water route. He commanded the cavalry to ride horses alone, and the remaining reinforcements continued to advance under the leadership of the officers in charge.

Reinforcements arrived in batches and were easily defeated by the siege by the siege. However, the Yiwu County faced by the Qing army this time, there was no wall at all. When they arrived at the edge of the county, they would inevitably be eager to enter the city to eliminate the Ming army's resistance. Therefore, Chen Wen took advantage of the tactical movement speed of the horses and the advantages of water transportation to share the pressure for the Yiwu defenders before the main reinforcements.

The envoys sent to contact the Ming army to defend the city had been sent out. Chen Wen was not very clear about the situation in Yiwu County, nor did he know how much vitality the defenders had left, and even did not know whether the two posts in Fotang Town had arrived. After a while, after the Rangers understood the arrangements of the Qing army when they attacked the city, Chen Wen summoned all the cavalry and prepared to attack the Qing army.

Wearing the repaired mountain literary armor, Chen Wen looked at the already assembled subordinates and decided to use the way he was best at inspiring morale before the war.

"Three years ago, Ningbo ******* was seeking Ningbo. Wang Jingluo's army captured Shangyu County for the first time and killed Liu Zhangzhi, the fake Shiyin Promoter. That night, the Wang army had not repaired the city defense, and Fubiao camp led troops to attack. Wang Jingluo was forced to lead the army south to join Xinchangbo. When he arrived at Tiantai, there were only more than 400 people left. Later, he governed military exercises, and defeated Shangyu County twice and occupied Dalan Mountain. However, when Jingluo died, he could not repay this old hatred."

"A few days ago, our troops led a large army to fight against the main force of the Tartars in Xiaoshun Town and defeated it in one battle. It was a great victory that had not been seen in several years. However, this Fubiao camp, which is used to stealing chickens and dogs, sneaked into Yiwu while we were heading west, trying to copy the scene three years ago."

"But, the king's army is now becoming stronger every day. The king's army three years ago can no longer be the same as the king's army today. It was just a delusion that the Tartars wanted to completely eliminate our troops."

"Although there are many Tartars in Fubiao Camp, most of them have already attacked the city. The left-behind comrades have been persisting for a day with an absolute disadvantage. Now it is time for us to cooperate with the robes guarding the city to completely eliminate these thieves."

"Everyone, set out!"

Among the cavalry under Chen Wen, some of them once served in the initial cavalry team of Nantangying, some came from the remnants of the left and right battalions of the Ming army on the left and right of Dalanshan Mountain after the Battle of Siming Lake, some were once soldiers of the Ming army of Pinggang under Chen Tianshu, while others almost all came from the new recruits from Yiwu and Dongyang counties.

Whether it is a veteran or a new recruit, since Chen Wen was born in the Dalanshan Ming Army, this period of history has been told to his soldiers during training. Although the Dalanshan Ming Army at that time could not defeat his opponent even if he fought with Fubiao Camp face to face, Chen Wen wanted to make his soldiers despise Fubiao Camp's actions to enhance their confidence in victory. Therefore, the specific strength analysis will no longer be mentioned, but will blindly emphasize the fact that Fubiao Camp's sneak attack.

At present, Chen Wen's troops have repelled the Qing army on the southern front. The Green Camp of the Four Prefectures has suffered heavy losses and has been completely destroyed. It will be difficult to recover its vitality in a few years. The Super Biao Camp also chose to retreat even though it was difficult to support it. The largest Qing army was defeated, and Jinhua Fucheng was about to recover, but at this moment, this Fubiao camp rushed out, forcing them to return to the aid, which will naturally arouse greater anger and hatred of these Ming troops.
