When Chen Chu learned that Yang Zhi and his unit of Ming army had been moved to Luoxing Town, he could hardly believe his ears. For an army, there was a Jedi! At the intersection of the two rivers, someone was going to leave, and there was no way out to heaven and no way to enter the ground. Is this Yang Zhi's mind water? This shouldn't be.

"Why?" he asked suspiciously.

"The supply of grain and grass must be wrong with Yang Zhi's troops." A mine owner stood up and said, "Now General Cai Qiang is heading towards Danyang for 5,000 cavalry, and the Ming army's food route has always been supported by Danyang. It must be because the food route was cut off, so they want to go to Luoxing Town to eat."

"Wu Gui said it well." Another person also said: "Mr. County Magistrate, Luoxing Town has always been a high-quality grain production area because of its flat terrain, abundant water resources and fertile land. Luoxing Town has enough food. It is obvious that Yang Zhi found out about this, so he went to Luoxing Town to grab grain. Now it is the autumn harvest!"

"They are new to us and are not familiar with the terrain of my Xintong County. Maybe they have not noticed this yet." Wu Gui said excitedly: "Mr. County Master, we have to seize the time to block them in Luoxing Town. If they run out, it will be troublesome again. With a pocket, they are the turtles in the middle of the house and can no longer cause trouble."

Chen Chu nodded slightly. Wu Gui's meaning must be the meaning of all the mine owners present. It is just to destroy this Ming army quickly. You must know that everyone brought out the private army in their hands, and there were no ones who suppressed their own mines. The time was short and the remaining power made the miners honest, but after a long time, something might happen. These mines are due to their lives, so naturally they cannot have any missed.

"Since that's the case, we will choose Luoxing Town as a battlefield for annihilation of the enemy." Chen Chu slapped the table and made up his mind. "Mobilize tonight to start tomorrow morning. Soldiers are of great speed. The sooner the better. It will take several days for Yang Zhi to seize the food around Luoxing Town. It's enough for us to block them."

Many private soldiers and generals also left excitedly. They had a little doubt at first, but now they are now left outside. Where is it difficult for you to go? Run to Luoxing Town? There is a block outside, and even the 20,000 people will pile you up to death.

There was a night of hustle and bustle. In the early morning of the next day, the army of Xintong County drove out of the county town and rushed towards Luoxing Town. Its armor was bright and its swords and guns were everywhere, a crossbow, a catapult, and a series of cavalry. Just looking at the appearance, it was really majestic.

The three thousand soldiers of Xintong County are actually the private army of the county magistrate Chen Chu. With the salary of the court, they do the private work of the Chen Chu family. Most of the time they usually spend to suppress the mines of the Chen family and take care of other businesses. Chen Chu is the richest family in Xintong, so naturally they will not treat these thugs unfairly. The salary is paid by the taxes collected by Xintong County, but the armor and weapons are provided by Chen Chu. The Qin court cannot equip his private army with such good weapons. This army of 3,000 people is also the fundamental guarantee that Chen Chu can proudly swear to Xintong County and bully other families. Other families are not without money, but the problem is that you cannot openly equip so many troops. If you really do this, Chen Chu will come and ask why immediately? Do you want to rebel?

Just as Chen Chu led his troops out of the county town, the thunderstorm that was nesting in a small village received news that several eagle nest spies hiding in Xintong County found him.

"What? All 20,000 people left the city? Only a few hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people were left in the city, and some constables were also left to maintain order?" Lei Shao widened his eyes and looked at the information brought by the spy in front of him incredibly. "Is this Chen Chu an idiot? There are not enough defenders left in the important areas of the county city? Bai Chun'er, are you wrong?"

Thunderstorm used to be just a thief in the world and was not particularly good at military command. However, after following Yang Zhi for several years, he saw many tricks. After some bad efforts, he was now considered a qualified general. After hearing the news brought by his spy Bai Chun, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"General Lei, military and national affairs, how dare you joke about humble officials? I don't want it anymore?" Bai Chun'er looked at Leistorm with dissatisfaction. He was not the same system as Leistorm, and he was not afraid of this strong man. "If we set out now, we can easily take over Xintong County City."

"Is it not right!" Lei Feng shook his head: "How far have they been? If we jump out, we will scare them back immediately. At that time, General Yang will have to pull off my head. They will fight, and it will be difficult to solve. The Xintong army will break its backbone. That is a good opportunity for us to go out. At that time, these guys will lose Wollow! By the way, how are their equipment?"

"Lookingly, we counted, there were at least hundreds of powerful crossbows, and there were ten trenchers. Those private soldiers were no worse than our Ming army! These private mine owners were rich." Bai Chuner said with a smile.

"There are so many weapons?" Lei Shao couldn't help but frown, "This is still a little trouble!"

"General Lei doesn't have to worry. The things are good, but they also depend on who is using them. Not to mention how many times better our heavy weapons are than theirs. Even the operators, those from Xintong County are no different from some novices!" Bai Chun said disapprovingly.

"What do you mean?" Lei Shao was a little confused.

"These private soldiers usually manage mines for these mine owners and suppress miners. How can they use powerful crossbows? As for the catapults, they are all things in the Xintong arsenal, but Xintong's county soldiers usually do private work for the county magistrates. It's hard to see their school motto once a year. I doubt how many of those catapults can still be used normally!" Bai Chun said disdainfully: "I have been lurking in Xintong County for three years. The only school motto I have ever seen was the last time when Prince Qin Ma Chao came to Xintong. It has been almost two years."

Thunderstorm smacked his lips, "Is this still an army? Damn, it's worse than our bandits! We also know that if we keep fists and hand songs, we will become unfamiliar if we don't practice for three days. They don't train for several years?"

Bai Chuner and several lieutenants in the house stared at the thunderstorm, and then he came to his senses. He was not a bandit now, but a general of the Ming Empire. His old face couldn't help but blush, "I'm so obsessed. Such a bunch of native chickens and tiles really make people uninterested. Okay, okay, let's wait here and have a peace of mind. After working there, we'll go and beat the slap again, hahahahaha!"

Shortly after Chen Chu's men left the city, Yang Zhi from Luoxing Town had already received the exact news. Hearing that Chen Chu brought 20,000 people out in one go, Yang Zhi was also dumbfounded. How great is this to put his nest behind him and ignore it! This time, it was a thunderstorm that could take down the county city without any effort.

Yang Zhi didn't dare to be careless when 4,000 people versus 20,000 people, 5 to 1, especially the opponent's equipment is not bad. Those powerful crossbows and catapults, let alone humans, even if they are controlled by dogs and hit them overwhelmingly, it would be very difficult.

"The lion fights rabbits, and it also needs to use all its strength." Yang Zhi stared at the generals in the tent and said, "Even if the opponent is weak, we have to treat them as Qi people. Wang Lu, you bring a thousand people to guard the City God Temple, Baoyatang, you bring a thousand people to guard the Huya Beach, I lead the central army to guard the town. Remember, you need to beat the opponents, but you can't be afraid of them all at once. After working for a while, you will retreat slowly, making the enemy feel that we can't support them. They can take us down with one more effort. This way, they can hook them forward step by step. Do you understand?"

"It's easy to win, but it's really difficult to pretend that you can't win!" Wang Lu laughed loudly: "Baoya Tang, don't take off the game!"

"I can deal with these weak chickens with no battlefield experience, even if I dig a big hole in front of them, they will jump down happily." Dan Jiang Qiu, who had a big belly teeth, said disdainfully.

"Okay, let's go down and prepare!" Yang Zhi waved his hand, "The hunting began, and the 20,000 grass chickens were wiped out, and the Xintong County City was taken down. Then we set up a tea table on the city gate, waiting to invite Zhuifeng Camp to have tea!"

The room suddenly burst into laughter. Yang Zhi nodded with satisfaction. His spirit had already lit up. Next, we have to see what the Xintong County soldier is.

Two days, two days later, Yang Zhi waited for the arrival of Chen Chu's army, which made him helpless. From Xintong County City to Luoxing Town, less than fifty miles, these 20,000 people actually walked for two days. I really don't know if they had climbed over. Standing at the highest point of the town and looking at the flags and soldiers covering the sky in the distance, Yang Zhi said angrily: "This good equipment is wasted."

Yang Zhi felt that after walking fifty miles in two days, he was crawling with a turtle, but Chen Chu and others thought it was already amazing. Not to mention anything else, it would be so hard to drag the dozens of catapults over just! In the small Luoxing Town, a stone bullet was smashed down, a group of powerful crossbows shot over, and then tens of thousands of people rushed up. The enemy was still easy to capture?

But they did not notice that around the town, there was no trace of the Ming army who should have snatched the grain, and the crops were still growing well in the fields!

In Yang Zhi’s opinion, it’s all his from now on, so there’s no need to rush to harvest!

To defeat Xingzhen, you have to take two key points: Chenghuang Temple and Huya Beach. Otherwise, the two wings would be threatened. But what made Yang Zhi dumbfounded again was that his enemy had divided into three groups and attacked Chenghuang Temple and Huya Beach in two groups. The main force actually headed straight for his central army.

Damn, don’t you anyone who really understands military command? Yang Zhi is powerless to complain. If you divide your troops to attack, if there is one of the Chenghuang Temple and Huya Beach that cannot be defeated, you will suffer a great loss. Do you understand?

Yang Zhi stood up and shrugged. It seemed that this battle was easier than he expected.
