Lord of Ming Dynasty

The news keeps coming together.

Ruan Dacheng arrived in Wuyi County with his troops three days ago, at this time Chen Jia's troops had already diverted to attack Jinhua Fucheng.

Ruan Dacheng's [-] troops stayed in Wuyi County for two days, and then left Wuyi County to go to Jinhua Mansion, leaving only [-] troops from Lin Chengyang to guard the county.

Zhang Qiang was not in a hurry, and hid on Wuyi Mountain behind Bailuxi, continuing to train his troops.

This time he sent down the soldiers in his hands again, and then selected 150 of the [-] young men from Mi Lin and Mi Chun's troops to continue training.

Why don't you transfer those troops from the Han Army? They don't have enough loyalty. Three hundred young men are easy to manage, and they are still ordinary people. After this period of time, they also have a sense of belonging to Zhang Qiang. Training them will be very beneficial to improve the combat strength of your troops. .

For another three days, the Wuyi County was filled with chaos and smog by the Lin Yangyang Department. The people who remained were either squeezed or their families were destroyed.

At night, Zhang Qiang learned that the Lin Yangcheng Department was coming towards their residence.

Zhang Qiang didn't think about running away. With 2000 people against 700 people, he still had a chance of winning, and the one who had no chance of winning was his opponent.

It was in a village more than ten miles away from Zhang Qiang's troops.

Lin Chengcheng and his generals sat on the edge of a kang in a landlord's house and ate big fish and meat.

Kneeling on the ground under the heated kang was an old servant from the Wuyi County Government, chattering endlessly: "My lord, the rebel general of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Qiang's troops are hiding on the mountain behind the Bailu River, and the villain still knows where they hide their grain. , The Vice General Liu you mentioned is also on this mountain. When the villain escaped from the mountain two days ago, he met Vice General Liu. Vice General Liu promised that as long as the villain tells the Qing army where he is, the villain can get the The military rank reward of the flag and 50 taels of silver."

Lin Chengcheng said to the subordinates sitting beside him: "The poor people in this place are about to take off their pants. I wanted to make a fortune, but I didn't want to lose sight of both of them. Those who stayed in the city were either old men or old ladies. A few young ones, either disabled or blind, what can they do, it’s a miscalculation to ask Chen Zongbing to stay behind on their own initiative this time.”

"My lord, you took us to join the Qing army, but the Qing army only gave you a garrison, ignoring your credit for betraying Brother He Jin, why don't we raise our troops and flee far away."

Lin Chengcheng hesitated for a long time, as if remembering that there was an informer beside him, he turned his head to the yamen servant who was still kneeling on the ground, "Is there really only more than 600 guards in the Ming army on the mountain?"

The yamen servant had a charming face, "Yes, sir, there are really only more than 600 people, except for the 400 servants, the other [-] people are young and strong newly recruited."

The subordinate frowned, "My lord, no, the last time we saw that general, there were thousands of people."

The yamen servants laughed, "My lord, last time thousands of his men fought with the Qing army and suffered heavy losses. If Vice General Liu was not careless and rushed up to be captured by them, General Liu Can and the Mongol Tartars would chase you However, it is impossible for him to defeat Vice General Liu's army and flee back to Wuyi County. In the end, he only had one hundred family members left, and later recruited five hundred young men to make up six hundred troops. He knew that he could not fight against the Qing Dynasty, so he abandoned He ran away from the city and went up the mountain to become a king of the mountain."

Lin Chengcheng held a bone, pointed at the yamen servant and said to his subordinates: "Look, it's not a big deal. Although we suffered heavy losses in the last war, we gathered soldiers later. There were still 600 people in the old battalion, and He Jin's was annexed. From the old battalion, another [-] men joined us, and Master Ruan gave us another [-] soldiers, which is enough to fight a Ming army with only a hundred soldiers."

The subordinate said: "Yes, my lord is wise."

"Well, let the brothers have a good night's rest tonight, and the brothers outside will strengthen their guard to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp. Tomorrow morning, we will attack the mountain."

The sky is bright, and Zhang Qiang is still stepping up training 150 young and strong.

On the mountain road, Lin Chengcheng walked on the winding mountain road with two thousand soldiers of the Qing army, mainly roving bandits, led by the yamen servants.

But I don't know why they searched for a whole day, but couldn't find Zhang Qiang's troops, and even the food in the place where the government officials pointed out that the food was hidden disappeared.

Lin Chengfa was so angry that he ordered the yamen servant to be cut down, and he camped by a small stream in the mountains.

He stroked the beard on his chin, and said to his subordinates: "This is not right. You brought a team of cavalry and went to Jinhua Mansion to ask for help. We are slowly retreating here and exiting here. I always feel that something is wrong."

The subordinate said: "Yes, my lord."

Zhang Qiang stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the troops formed by the stream, Zhou Congee said, "My lord, can we attack?"

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "No, I'll take care of them tomorrow. You lead people to nail them up, and tell Xuanyuan Longfei and Wei Wuji to tie up the pockets for me. No one can be released."

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and Lin Chengcheng had already retreated to the mountain pass with his subordinates. At this moment, there was a shout from both sides, flags were flying all over the mountain, and countless heads appeared on the mountains on both sides.

A personal guard said: "Your Excellency has been tricked."

Lin Chengcheng pulled back the horse, "The front army speeds up, and the rear catches up, rushing out."

On the flat ground of the mountain pass.

Zhang Qiang's three hundred gunners were divided into five rows, with sixty people in each row, who had been waiting there for a long time.

There are only ten cavalry guards around him, and the other subordinates are arranged on both sides and the back of Lin Cheng's troops.

Lin Chengcheng's personal cavalry guards had already surpassed the former army and ran ahead. Seeing Zhang Qiang's team of [-] musketeers waiting in front of him, he couldn't help but stop.

The soldier said: "My lord, it's just a gunner. After firing it once, it loses its power. It's better to let the front army charge once, causing the enemy to fire the cannon. Our horse team takes the opportunity to charge forward, disrupt the enemy's formation in one go, and kill them down the mountain. go."

Lin Chengyuan nodded, "Okay, it's up to you."

"Come on." After a while, more than 500 people from Lin Cheng's former army charged up, brandishing swords and spears.

"Get ready." Zhang Qiang raised the Ming Army waist saber in Zhang Qiang's hand, and swung it down violently, "Let it go."

In the light of the fire, the Qing troops of the former army fell down one after another.

The front army continued to charge, and the second row of musketeers began to fire.

Rotating in turn, there is an uninterrupted momentum. The front army of the Qing army is like hitting a wall, but they can't pass the distance of thirty steps.

Lin Chengcheng watched the 500 soldiers of his former army suffer heavy losses under the endless gunshots from the enemy musketeers. In less than 3 minutes, they lost more than [-] people, and the rest ran around like frightened sheep. He couldn't help feeling pain in his heart, he almost fell off his horse, and the soldiers around him rushed to support him.

Lin Chengcheng looked left and right, pointed to both sides, "Cross the mountain."

The old battalion of the bandits first attacked to the left, where the slope of the hill was not steep, making it easier for the attacking troops to deploy.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they rushed up, a rain of arrows fell, and the rogues rolled down the cliff one after another, hitting repeatedly, but still couldn't break through, because there were three hundred archers guarded by Zhou Porridge.

"Rush again, to the right, I don't believe it anymore," Lin Chengcheng changed his tactics and charged up this time, but seeing that he was almost reaching the top of the mountain, he only heard: "Boom!"

Several tiger squatting guns fired shotguns, knocking down a large area of ​​rogues at once.

This is the cannon of Wuyi County, of course Zhang Qiang can't leave it to the enemy, take it down and transport it away.

Lin Chengcheng's face was as pale as a dead man, and he shouted angrily, "Come again, the cannon needs to be reloaded once it is fired, at least half a cup of tea."

The guards personally led the soldiers of the old battalion to charge. This time, they were greeted by three Flang machine guns, two tiger squat guns, or shotguns.

"what--"

More rogues were beaten into sieves and rolled down the hillside screaming.

Lin Chengcheng shouted angrily, "Turn back and attack the enemy's rear."

The [-] veteran battalion rogues and the [-] Qing troops turned around and attacked Wei Wuji's troops who were blocking them.

This time it was close, and suddenly countless javelins and iron bones were thrown from the enemy's army, and those rogue Qing soldiers who did not have much armor were crying for their fathers and mothers.

A few bows shot a few arrows, and killed several Qing troops rushing forward.

Just when Lin Chengcheng wanted to charge fiercely, he heard a clatter, and from the foot of the mountain in front of him, three hundred spearmen stood up in the bushes, all covered in chain armor, chain mail, and wearing Ming army hats. The number had already reached 600, and the rogue Qing army, who had suffered heavy losses, could no longer face so many enemies. The other rogues fled around in the valley, but they were all beaten back, panicked.

Lin Chengcheng saw that even if they were organized, they would not have much fighting power. Today, it seems that the explanation is here.
