Yuan Qi was right. Yin Huaxing didn't give him any time. After taking Wenchang, the Qing army with high morale rushed towards Jingxian. Yuan Qi did not have much troops in Jingxian, only more than 2,000 people. Facing the murderous Qing army, the city was broken shortly after it was defeated. After taking Jingxian, Yin Huaxing's army continued to pounce westward and reached the Shimen in one day.

At this time, Yuan Qi had mobilized troops to enter Qingyang, and the distance between the two sides was very close. Yuan Qi did not come to Qingyang for Yin Huaxing. He knew very well that he could not defend the city by relying on the guardian city. And once he defended the Qing army surrounded Qingyang from all directions, he would be dead. If he wanted to survive in death, he could only take the initiative to attack this path.

From Shimenkou to Qingyang, there are many mountains, such as Xiaohuangshan, Chujishan, Tiger Mountain, Tongling Mountain, Qishan, etc. There are more than ten mountains of all sizes. Although these mountains are not too high, they are difficult to walk in one after another. Yuan Qi's way to stop the enemy was to rely on this terrain to deal with Yin Huaxing in order to block him east of Qingyang.

When it comes to mobile warfare, Yuan Qi is an old expert. To put it bluntly, this is even more of the instinct of bandits. Yuan Qi dispersed the troops in his hands. Except for the 7,000 people in his headquarters, the remaining troops were distributed from about 1,000 to 2,000, and asked his elder brothers to take their men to fight in the Qingyang area at Shimenkou. This did cause a lot of trouble for Yin Huaxing. When he fought Zhu Jiancai's territory, the Qing army, which was almost effortless, was ambushed the moment he stepped out of the stone gate, and hundreds of casualties were killed and killed. His aura was immediately frustrated.

The Qing army, who suffered losses, quickly reported the situation to the Central Army. Yin Huaxing was stunned when he learned about the situation, and then he was happy. He did not expect that Yuan Qi would have the courage to fight with him, and at the same time he was excited about facing Yuan Qi's troops directly.

Yin Huaxing was not a young boy. He was a famous general in the Kangxi Dynasty and had rich experience in encircling and suppressing rebels. Faced with this situation, he had already made some arrangements. When he learned that Yuan Qi had arrived in Qingyang and tried to use this method to block his army, Yin Huaxing ordered the entire army to take steady steps and advance slowly. At the same time, he ordered the troops in various provinces to move closer to Qingyang and Chizhou.

The characteristics of the battle between officers and soldiers and bandits are very obvious. The officers and soldiers are overwhelming with strength, while bandits are unstable. Both sides have their own strengths. Since their troops are superior and they know where Yuan Qi is, what Yin Huaxing is most worried about is that Yuan Qi jumps out of the encirclement. Therefore, he doesn't care about the temporary small losses. He only cares about Yuan Qi's main force. As long as he keeps Yuan Qi's main force to death and defeat this rebel, everything will be settled.

But in this way, the Qing army's marching speed was much slower than before, and due to Yuan Qi's tactical changes and terrain, the Qing army also suffered considerable losses. When the Qing army advanced to Qishan not far from Qingyang, it was already very close to Yuan Qi's main force.

"Master, Qingyang is ahead of you who climbed over this mountain." A deputy general pointed to the Qishan Road, and Yin Huaxing nodded with satisfaction. The Qing army had lost more than 2,000 people these days, which was the result of Yuan Qi's continuous battle. However, the Qing army's victory was even greater. Yuan Qi's troops were three times that of his own. After passing Qishan, they were basically flat in the Qingyang area. Even with Qingyang City as their support, Yuan Qi could not escape.

"Where have the other tribes been?" Yin Huaxing asked.

"Su Song, Quzhou and Yongzhou have arrived at their positions according to the command of the commander of the general and are approaching Chizhou. Especially in Quzhou, the second towns of Yongzhou have cut off the road to retreat westward. The green camp in Anhui blocked the Yangtze River, ensuring that Yuan Qi could not escape with his wings."

"Okay!" Yin Huaxing was overjoyed, but he also ordered: "I ordered all ministries to strictly abide by their important roads and never be careless. Once Yuan Qi escapes, the encirclement and suppression will be in vain. As long as Yuan Qi can be destroyed and the rebels can be completely eliminated, I will report to the emperor to ask for me!"

"Master Xie!" The generals replied excitedly. Now everyone saw hope. Who is unhappy when the rebels are about to completely wipe out? You must know that the Qing Dynasty is the most important military merit. When Yuan Qi is captured and the rebellion is completely quelled, everyone present will not only be promoted, but maybe Kangxi is happy to be awarded a title.

Perhaps because they knew that Qishan was the last line of defense, when Yin Huaxing's army arrived at Qishan, Yuan Qi's troops, who had been waiting here, suddenly rushed out, and the two sides started a fierce battle. Although Yuan Qi's troops occupied the important terrain and were prepared in advance, unfortunately Yin Huaxing had expected it long ago. In addition to the fierce fighting power of the Qing army, the powerful weapons, and the victory of the encirclement and suppression was right in front of him, the whole army was very motivated. Yuan Qi's troops collapsed after only two days of resistance. Except for the rebels who were killed in battle and seriously injured, the rest of the people climbed over the hill and fled towards Qingyang. They were not polite when they saw Yin Huaxing, and rushed to chase him directly.

When Yin Huaxing's army chased Qingyang, Qingyang was already in panic, and at this time, better news came. Anhui's green camp had crossed the Yangtze River and attacked Chizhou directly. After a hard battle, it captured Chizhou City. Now Yuan Qi is sitting in the Kucheng City and has no way out.

With the confidence to win, Yin Huaxing was full of confidence. He ordered the army to station outside Qingyang and sent people to persuade Yuan Qi to surrender. But who would have thought that shortly after, the city would hang the heads of the sent people on the city, and even shot a document to curse Yin Hua as a traitor, and to commit suicide for the tiger to be accused of Qing dog, humiliating his ancestors, etc. When he saw this letter, Yin Huaxing was furious and attacked the city overnight without saying a word.

Qingyang has strict defense and is located in the inland area, so he can only attack the city by death. Although Yin Huaxing's army was equipped with siege cannons, it could not take over the solid Qingyang City for a while. What's more, Qingyang City resisted desperately under the command of Yuan Qi. After only two days of siege, the casualties between both sides were huge.

"Master, should you let your brothers take a break?" On the evening of the day, his subordinates who had been sieging the city for more than ten hours in a row advised Yin Huaxing, but who would have thought that Yin Huaxing's face changed and shouted: "What should I take? Take Qingyang for three days and seal the sword! If you haven't taken it at noon tomorrow, I will take you first!"

When everyone heard such murderous words, they trembled in their hearts. Who would dare to persuade them again? At the same time, they felt even more cruel in their hearts. If Yuan Qi hadn't refused to surrender and even ejaculated such a letter, how could Yin Huaxing be so angry?

Yin Huaxing gave the death order, and the Qing army had no choice but to continue to attack the city. When the sun rose the next day, Qingyang City could no longer support it. As more and more Qing troops climbed to the city, Qingyang defenders began to collapse. Half an hour later, when Qingyang City was completely captured by the Qing army, Qingyang finally came down.

After taking Qingyang, Yin Huaxing finally showed a smile on his face, but when he entered the city, he heard the rewards from his subordinates who had entered the city, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"I didn't catch Yuan Qi? How is this possible? Could it be that Yuan Qi's wings flew away? No! Qingyang was surrounded by me, and this person couldn't escape at all. He must be hidden in the city and searched me carefully!"

The order was issued. The Qing army searched for a day without Yuan Qi's whereabouts. Even several important figures in Yuan Qi's army disappeared for no reason. It was not until the end that they learned that Yuan Qi was no longer in Qingyang City. When the battle outside the stone gate started, Yuan Qi quietly left Qingyang, and the only one who stayed in Qingyang was him a substitute.

In addition to such a substitute, the person who commanded Qingyang to fight was a close confidant of Yuan Qi. This person was also a figure in the rebel army, and he also followed Yuan Qi's old man during the Siming Mountain period. Unfortunately, this person died at the top of the city when Qingyang fell. It was precisely because of his death that the rebel army collapsed and thus lost Qingyang.

As for the substitute, I don’t know whether it’s dead or alive. In Yin Huaxing’s opinion, this substitute is worthless at all. After careful searching, I finally found this substitute, and the result proves that it is. But where did Yuan Qi himself go? Did he quietly return to Chizhou? Impossible! Chizhou has been taken down by himself, and Yuan Qi is looking for death when he goes back, so where is he?

Qingyang's capture marks that the rebels in Jiangnan for a whole year were finally basically wiped out. Now there is no rebel force except Zhu Yicheng from Ningbo and Taizhou. After attacking Qingyang, Yin Huaxing also fulfilled his promise. His subordinates only cut off the sword after three days of rushing Qingyang. In this way, the entire Qingyang almost became a hell on earth. The Qing army did everything to burn, kill, loot, and three days later, Qingyang had become a dead city. Looking at his cheerful subordinates, Yin Huaxing was not happy because Yuan Qi was not in Qingyang, and now his whereabouts were unknown, and no one knew where he went.

Unfortunately, Yin Huaxing could only send troops to search around Qingyang and Chizhou in order to find Yuan Qi's whereabouts. Unfortunately, he searched for half a month but had no news. Whether it was Yuan Qi or Zhu Jiancai, it disappeared without a trace like the evaporated world.

Faced with such a result, Yin Huaxing had no choice but to submit a complaint to Kangxi for apologizing. However, Kangxi did not punish this result too much. He only asked Yin Huaxing to take over as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and stepped up the destruction of Zhu Yicheng, who was in Ningbo and Taizhou, and secretly searched for the whereabouts of Yuan Qi, Zhu Jiancai and others.

After receiving this order, Yin Huaxing finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Zhu Yicheng from Ningbo also received news of the war in western Zhejiang. Because the failure of Zhu Jiancai and Yuan Qi was too fast, Zhu Yicheng had no time to react.

"Juan Qi died like this?" Zhu Yicheng couldn't help but stayed silent for a while. Due to the blockade of the Qing army, it was Yuan Qi who was publicized to the outside world. Zhu Jiancai had died in the battle formation. Zhu Yicheng didn't know that Zhu Jiancai had run away before the war started, and Yuan Qi and others were even more missing.
