Under normal circumstances, the fundamental attack is the first reaction of an individual, which should be to lead the main force back to the rescue. Following this idea, since the Ming army's large cavalry has appeared on the battlefield, the main force that had previously been sent to the southern battlefield will not be too far away.

Under the pressure created by the vanguard unit led by Chen Wen, the officers of Fubiao Battalion decided to give up and continue to siege the city after a moment of discussion. The horses outside the city only needed to send some infantry to respond while ringing the gold to retreat safely. However, if they wanted to attack the city, God knew that they were busy suppressing the defenders' resistance or rushing to kill people and rob people of the country, and wanted to withdraw, but it was not as simple as they imagined.

The messenger of the Zuoying guerrillas had been sent out, and the officers responsible for clearing out the north of the city immediately began to converge their troops, but the slower they converged the troops to the south. In addition to the more familiar Ming army, who were still using the streets and alleys to restrain and resist, the Qing army in the north of the city quickly began routine robbery after expelling the defenders, and the Qing army, which started this work more important than the battle, began later, so the progress was far behind the former.

The messengers were constantly sent out, and the Qing army officers who had already attacked the south of the city also sent their personal soldiers and servants to restrain the dispersed troops under the military orders. However, for those Qing army who were busy looting, this order undoubtedly made them turn a blind eye to the wealth that was within reach, and they could not see the "glory of human nature" that the Qing army officers had in the past.

Since there is no "glory of human nature", we should simply do it more beastly. The order to withdraw troops has been issued. As an elite soldier of Zhejiang Green Camp like Fubiao Camp, he can still strictly abide by military orders. However, this wealth is missing, so no one can get it, at least not to be able to gain the enemy.

The Qing army who looted the houses and shops carried large and small bags of goods, lit the torches in their hands and threw them towards the surrounding houses. In this way, it could not only cause large-scale damage to the county town, but also effortlessly curb the pace of the defenders' pursuit, which was a killing of two birds with one stone.

Such man-made fires quickly ignited the houses of the Qing army on its way to retreat. Seeing that the house was burned, the surviving people ran out to put out the fires, and as long as they did not pay attention, they would inevitably be shot and killed by the Qing army.

As the Qing army retreated intensified, the fire became stronger and stronger. Thick smoke also rose. The fire lights rose one after another. In addition to the choking smoke in the air, there was also the special odor produced by the protein contained in the burning human body, and more of it came from the crying of the people.

For a time, the Yiwu County Town, which was once "on the foot of the mountain in the north and the embroidered lake in the west" and was standing on the river, turned into a purgatory on earth under the burning and killing of the Qing army.

The Qing army's actions to ignite the house effectively prevented the defenders from following their attempts. As a result, the defenders had to start putting out the fire under the command of the officers and Sun Yu, who had organized a large number of civilians, in order to minimize the losses.

The fire and thick smoke suddenly started, not only the residents and defenders in the city took action, but Chen Wen, who was far away from the county town and confronted the Qing army in the north of the city, also noticed this.

In the previous fierce battle, Chen Wen relied on the small shield on his armour to resist the Qing army's chopping. Although his arm was not broken, the waist knife under the force still chopped the small shield down, which made Chen Wen's arm even half of his body feel a little numb.

His arms were swollen, and his blood was dripping along his cuffs. He thought he was still injured. Chen Wen sat on the top of a small hill in the distance, and under the escort of his cavalry, some soldiers with heavy stumbles were treated for him and the other injured soldiers, but his mind had already flown to the distance.

At present, the cavalry of the Qing army had gathered together and joined the infantry and returned to the flag. With the difficulty of rushing up and using the advantages and rhythm of the troops, they tore it apart. Seeing that the Qing army had already begun to withdraw troops, the purpose of restraint had been achieved, but the losses caused by this war were really not small, so we must never allow the Fubiao camp to retreat smoothly. We must try to leave some of them so that we will not leave the impression that the Qing army would leave as soon as we want to come to the local people.

In the cavalry battle just now, the Qing army's cavalry suffered more losses than the Ming army, and in fact they only lost more than twenty cavalry. It is not clear how many soldiers the Qing army suffered in the tug-of-war in the city, but from the general direction of the firelight, the loss of the defenders will definitely not be a small number. So, how should the less than a hundred cavalry in their hands be held to hold the Fubiao camp?

After thinking about it, he could only wait until the reinforcements of the brigade arrived to restrain the Qing army and work with the Dongyang Camp to defeat it. Seeing this, Chen Wen immediately sent a messenger toward Zhengjiawu Town to coordinate the reinforcements of the two routes so that they would not be defeated by the Qing army.

Although Yiwu County was not big, the competition was fierce before. The Qing army completed the evacuation work until the sky became dark. Staying in the north of Yiwu City was of no benefit to the Qing army, but if they marched towards Pujiang County overnight, they would easily be attacked by the Ming army after nightfall. So they hurriedly retreated north until a stream could be used as a support location before they stopped to camp.

In order to maintain contact, Chen Wen always led a team behind the Qing army, without giving up the idea of ​​pursuing. At this moment, the Qing army had already set up camp, so he had to place the troops in a small village that was washed away by the Qing army not long ago, and sent a small number of horses to continue observing the movements of the Qing army.

However, late at night, the messenger who had sent to the guards to join the guards managed to catch up. Sun Yu and the guards were safe and sound, but many parts of the city were burned by the Qing army, and of course some were burned by the Ming army like the county town. As for the losses, there were indeed many, and this guards had completely lost the possibility of leaving the city to fight.

Fortunately, there was also news that the reinforcements from Fotang Town had arrived in Yiwu and were following the traces left by the Ming cavalry to join Chen Wen.

Although there were only two whistles, even if there was only one more soldier in your hand, it would definitely be more confident than if there was no more. After a night, the Qing army began to move northward, while Chen Wen continued to follow with reinforcements, grasping the distance between them, so as to wait for the best opportunity to take action.

Soon, another reinforcement army of Chen Wen also chased after him. For a time, the army in his hand had grown from more than 100 cavalry to an infantry team with two posts, plus more than 100 cavalry and less than 200 bird gunners.

Such troops still do not have any possibility of winning the battle against Fubiao Camp. However, at this moment, the Qing army had entered the corridor between Wushan and Qiaotou Mountain. The vanguard was even close to Anzhiting, and further north was the boundary of Pujiang County. This place was not far from the Huang's house where the Qing army landed. Once the Qing army boarded the ship and went downstream from the Puyang River, Chen Wen would find it difficult to keep it.

Seeing this, Chen Wen ordered his cavalry to rush over to the provocation of the Qing army who observed the movements of the Ming army, and made a stance to be prepared to break the enemy to death.

The Ming army followed, obviously not intending to let them go, but if the Ming army launched an attack when they boarded the ship, it would be a defeat. It was only because the Ming army had always kept a distance that they had no chance to start. Since the Ming army rushed forward at this moment, the Qing army immediately put on a stance and tried to use this battle to eliminate the subsequent hidden dangers.
