On the road west of Zhoujiakou, a bloody fight is going on.

The Qing army cavalry, which came to help, ran into the Chen family cavalry, which was waiting here. Although the latter arrived not long ago, the morale of both sides suddenly changed.

The former had more troops, but they were running all the way; the latter had less troops, but they were waiting for the opportunity. Moreover, in terms of equipment, the cavalry of the Chen family army was at least equipped with breastplates, and some of them had hand guns. To a certain extent, the Chen family army was still superior, but both sides had reasons to fight to the death, which was really a good fight.

The collision of seven or eight hundred cavalry on both sides, the tragic fight, the loud gunshots, and the moment of contact, I don’t know how many people died, and I don’t know how many horses screamed in pain. The miserable cry sounded immediately, and it couldn’t be stopped.

"Die for me--" Zhang Bolin shouted in the chaos, and shook the spear in his hand vigorously. The sharp spear tip was instantly shaken into a chaotic nebula. The bright silver dots were so dazzling that it was like a meteor shower, hitting Chen Kaishan head on.

Zhang Bolin, who was born in the Han Army Banner, was not only an excellent equestrian, but also very good at using a spear on horseback.

Compared with Chen Kaishan, the former manager of the Chen family who selected and raised large livestock such as mules and horses, his battle skills were not a little bit stronger. Chen Kaishan had met Zhang Bolin once before, and was stabbed in the left rib by Zhang Bolin. If it weren't for the iron armor, Chen Kaishan would have become the first battalion officer-level "senior official" to die in the history of the Chen family cavalry. And that was also because Zhang Bolin was a little careless. Although Chen Kaishan was a battalion officer, the armor he wore looked no different from rattan armor. But this time, Zhang Bolin already knew that Chen Kaishan in front of him was a big fish.

When they met again, it was impossible for Chen Kaishan to say that he was not afraid, but he had to bite the bullet and hold on. He secretly regretted that he had used up his two double-barreled pistols early, otherwise he would have killed the officer in front of him with one shot, and how could he allow Zhang Bolin to show off in front of him?

Chen Kaishi, who was very confident in the defensive power of the breastplate, only used a big knife to protect his face and neck, but if Zhang Bolin's shot was really so easy to parry, his practice of the big gun for more than ten or twenty years would be in vain. With a lightness in his hand, the saber in Chen Kaishan's hand had been picked up by Zhang Bolin. Just as Zhang Bolin was about to pierce Chen Kaishan's neck with a shot, a gunshot came from nearby, and a bright blood flower burst out from Zhang Bolin's chest. His strong body swayed slightly on the horse's back, and he fell off the horse without even saying a word. Chen Kaishan's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat. He didn't have time to look back to see who saved him, so he quickly drew out his spare saber to block another slash.

The cavalry charge in the west of Zhoujiakou was not the neat cavalry square on the European battlefield, advancing like a wall. Whether it was the Qing soldiers or the Chen family army, both sides were more like horse bandits fighting for food, rather than an army.

After the first clash, both sides fell into the quagmire of fighting on horseback, and the leaders even had difficulty commanding the troops.

Chen Kaishan didn't say anything, and Liu Yandong could only maintain a small team of thirty or forty people, and kept fighting with the Chen family army in the chaos. The melee lasted for more than two quarters of an hour. When the Qing soldiers and cavalry were completely defeated, Liu Yandong realized that she was about to lose the battle without knowing why.

Liu Yandong was very depressed after the defeat. At the beginning of the war, he lost the command to control the overall situation. He received the signal when the defeat was already decided. He couldn't turn the tide or lose in a less ugly way. Because the defeated Qing soldiers and cavalry ignored him and ran away one by one looking west. If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, the Qing army would have lost another lieutenant general.

"Kill!" A chase started immediately. The Chen family army cavalry, which had lost about 30 or 40 people, shouted, and the horses galloped over the ground.

Behind the Qing army cavalry, there were of course a large group of Qing army troops rushing over. Their destination Zhoujiakou had already discovered the whereabouts of the Chen family army, and then the whole town was in panic. Countless merchants and people either fled or were in a panic. Of course, there were also calls to organize militias to protect the village. But the militia in Zhoujiakou had been gathered together by Guide Town before. If you want to reorganize a second one, how can it be done with just one or two words? Moreover, the great reputation of the Chen family army also made the merchants in Zhoujiakou have no confidence to resist.

The only thing they could do was to ask for help from Fude in Xihua and Chenzhou Prefecture.

Fude, who discovered the eastward direction of the Chen family army earlier than Zhoujiakou, had already sent troops to rescue Zhoujiakou. When the Qing soldiers and the cavalry of the Chen family army fought a battle in the west of Zhoujiakou, and the fast horses from Zhoujiakou to the prefecture city had not yet replied, the large force of the Chen family army, led by Chen Ming, had arrived less than ten miles away from Zhoujiakou. The large force of the Qing soldiers from Xihua was at least twenty miles away from Zhoujiakou.

"This is a piece of meat that is fatter than the city of Chenzhou. Chen will never let it go."

"How dare you Zhoujiakou show off this little stuff?"

"Go back and tell the people of Zhoujiakou that they can either show their "sincerity" to me or wait for my troops to visit them. Our army has taken over Zhoujiakou, and all the wealth inside belongs to the Chen family."

"A bunch of merchants, so what if I offend you? Can you still fight with my Chen family?"

"Go back and tell them honestly. The wise people have prepared the things. It won't be long before I come to Zhoujiakou. If they know what they are interested in, I won't embarrass them. After Chen moves in, he will keep it safe and won't visit. The soldiers under his command will not take more than half a step," Chen Ming said with a smile as he looked at the people from the Zhou family in front of him. "As for those blind guys, why do you care about them? Is there any benefit???"

The main purpose of Chen Jiajun's eastward march to Zhoujiakou was to mobilize the Qing troops who had retreated to Xihua and give them a severe blow. Another aspect is that Chen Ming really covets the Zhou family's wealth. After taking this place, the powerful Chen family swept away the entire Ruzhou. Especially there is a lot of sulfur and saltpeter here.

The so-called Liangwa Town, Zhugemiao Town, and even Hot Spring Town are all a piece of cake compared to Zhoujiakou. Even though Zhoujiakou is just a town, its commercial energy is huge in Henan.

Chen Yihe's shop has closed its doors. Under the cover of the shop, a red-yellow five-pointed star flag appeared inadvertently. Zhang Yunhe and his clerks were hiding in the shop. Everyone was holding a stick, and everyone was nervous and nervous. It's so bad!

For the first time in his life, Zhang Yunhe admired his boss so much, so wise.
