In the middle of the river, there were bursts of gunfire, and more than ten family members began musket loading training under Chen Yue's demonstration. According to the experience of Zhou Wen, a small flag officer, the family members used the paper tube prepared in advance to fill the primer and put it in the pocket on their chest, and each time they reloaded, they only needed to bite the paper tube open with their mouths, pour it into the chamber of the gun, and then take out the projectile from another pocket, stuff it into the muzzle, and compact the projectile gunpowder with an iron bar.

The whole process is easy to say, but it is really difficult to be proficient, and it is even more difficult to achieve a higher rate of fire, and on the battlefield, many musketeers cannot even reach half the normal rate of fire under the tension.

Fortunately, most of Chen Ping Xiaoqi's family members are very clever and have strong receptivity, and in one morning, most of the firecrackers have initially mastered the process of loading, and the rest is just repeated training.

Just when Chen Yue took his family members to train, the Qing soldiers suddenly went south from Jizhou, and quickly drove into the vicinity of Beijing. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were led by the scholar Zhou Yanru, but they thought that the border soldiers were plundering the people and lying about the military situation.

The southward movement of the Qing soldiers made the Manchu Dynasty frightened, and for a time "Jifu left and right, beasts and birds fly", the Beijing defenders hurriedly closed the door and defended themselves, but at this time Chen Yue did not know the news, and still took his subordinates to practice muskets by the river.

After the Qing soldiers arrived near Beijing, the commander Dolgon sent a wide range of cavalry to investigate the movements of the nearby Ming army, and in the face of the Manchu cavalry roaring outside the city, the Ming army on the city wall trembled and did not dare to open the door to meet the attack.

At the head of the city of Xibianmen, the general Chen Jianghe looked at the Manchu cavalry roaring outside the city with worry, and secretly prayed for his son Chen Yue in his heart. If possible, he would like to open the gates and go out of the city in search of his son. But now there are nobles in the city as generals, and there is Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, who supervises the imperial history of the army, where does he have the power to open the city gate privately!

In the midst of Chen Jianghe's worries, Chen Yue and his team encountered the greatest crisis since the formation of the army, and a Manchu sentry with only five horsemen galloped west along the Yongding River to the river where they were located, led by a white-armored soldier, with two armored soldiers and two servant cavalry.

Five cavalrymen, with a total of ten horses, rushed towards the village in the fishing bay.

At this moment, it is noon, and the family members who have practiced all morning are resting in the largest courtyard, and the family members of Chen Mo Xiaoqi, who are in charge of cooking, are busy in the courtyard. Chen Yue and Yang Zhengping were sitting at the table, drinking water and chatting about their experience in military training. Although Yang Zhengping is extraordinary in martial arts, but after all, he has never been a soldier, and he can teach his family marksmanship, but he doesn't know much about how to train the team, that is, he has learned some knowledge of training soldiers after Chen Yue in the past half a month.

When the two were chatting energetically, a sharp and long whistle suddenly sounded on the east side, Chen Yue and Yang Zhengping glanced at each other, pushed away the tea bowl in unison, and jumped up.

Encounter the enemy! The whistle is a special military whistle made by Chen Yue with iron sheets, and the whistle used in the competition of later generations is almost exactly the same, each sentry will receive one in advance, hang it around the neck, and when encountering danger, it will call the police according to the agreement, and the long whistle represents the approach of the enemy.

This is located in the southwest of the capital, is the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yue is a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, and his family members also nominally belong to the Ming army series, generally speaking, there is no enemy except bandits and robbers, but when it comes to the matter of the Qing soldiers entering the customs, Chen Yue instinctively feels that the big thing is not good. Hurriedly urged all the family members to quickly pick up weapons and gather.

Before the families in the courtyard could stand in line, the terrible whistles and screams sounded one after another, and then I saw the families who went out to guard crying and fleeing to come back, and Chen Yan ran at the end with a shield to cover the brothers in front. Chen Yan took ten family members out to stand guard, but only six of them were able to escape back to the courtyard, and the other five family members were nowhere to be found. Looking out through the courtyard gate, I saw a group of cavalry rushing quickly, bringing up a large cloud of smoke and dust.

After just a glance outside, Chen Yue knew that trouble was coming, and it was definitely the Manchu cavalry that came from outside, because the Ming army that Chen Yue knew definitely did not have such might.

"Close the courtyard door!" Chen Yue ordered sharply, facing the Manchu cavalry, the only thing that could stop them was this courtyard wall. As for confronting the Qing soldiers head-on, Chen Yue didn't dare to think about it, a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old children who had only been trained for less than a month, let them deal with the vicious Qing soldiers, isn't that a joke!

In Chen Yue's fierce reprimand, Yang Zhengping held a shield and personally led people to close the courtyard gate, several arrows flew through the courtyard gate, several were tied to the shields held by the family, and a feather arrow shot directly at the door of a family, and the family fell to the ground and died without saying a word.

In the sound of "squeak", the courtyard door was tightly closed, and then Yang Zhengping stuck the door latch tightly in the slot.

In the courtyard, all the family members looked at their fallen and dead companions, their faces turned pale and their legs trembled, although they had been training and knew that fighting on the battlefield was their destination, but in the face of death that was close at hand, everyone found that they were not ready.

"What should I do?" Yang Zhengping retreated to Chen Yue's side, and asked in a low voice, Yang Zhengping had a gritted hatred for the Qing soldiers outside the hospital, when his parents and family died tragically after the Qing soldiers, he and the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no hatred. But Yang Zhengping also knew that with his own martial arts, it was okay to fight with a Qing soldier, but it was not enough to face the Qing army.

Hatred did not burn Yang Zhengping's mind, but made him more calm, he knew that only by relying on the big guys to exert their strength together could it be possible to defeat the enemy outside.

"Let's figure out how many people there are on the other side first." Chen Yue said calmly, and asked people to call Chen Yan over as he spoke.

"There are a lot of war horses ......," Chen Yan touched the back of his head and thought for a while.

"Don't panic, think about how many people there are?"

"No, I didn't see it clearly. As soon as the outermost little five whistled and was shot in the face by an arrow, the other brothers were frightened, threw down their weapons and fled, I remember that the young master said that as a small flag officer, you must be with the brothers at all times, and I also ran back. The arrows rained down like arrows, and from time to time my brothers were shot to the ground, and I didn't dare to look back. Chen Yan touched his head and said ashamedly.

With the Qing soldiers' archery technique, half of the family members of a small banner can escape back, indicating that there are not many people outside at all, and from Chen Yan's words, Chen Yue got such a conclusion.

"Five cavalry, ten horses." Yang Zhengping, who was leaning on the wall and observing outside, shouted at the courtyard, confirming Chen Yue's guess.
