Lord of Ming Dynasty

At this time, a loud horn sounded, and thousands of Ming troops poured out from the woods.

Chen Jia was frightened for a moment, and fell headlong from his horse, causing the guards to panic.

As the war horse galloped, Hu Kui's cavalry rushed out of the woods and rushed directly into the Ming army's ranks, slashing and killing wantonly, causing the Ming army to be in chaos.

The sound of orderly footsteps resounded in front of the chaotic Ming army. Zhang Qiang rushed out of the woods with the musketeer troops in great strides, approaching, approaching, and in less than 5 minutes, he was already 100 meters away from the Ming army.

Cut off the Ming army at the middle, stopped at a distance of 70 meters, formed a team, and then raised the firecrackers.

Continuous flames erupted from the lineup of musketeers, with loud noises, and the Ming army was even more flustered. Although not many Qing soldiers were killed in the first shot, this kind of sound made people who had never experienced such a neat battle. The Qing soldiers shooting firecrackers were in chaos, and even more chaos, many people started to run in the opposite direction.

Chen Jia climbed up from the ground in a state of embarrassment, and his own soldiers helped him mount the horse. Chen Jia looked from the horse and saw that the entire Qing army was in chaos. The Qing soldiers who were accustomed to fleeing immediately led the team to flee. Some Qing soldiers didn't understand the situation at all, so they ran with everyone.

"Hold on, hold on, call He Jinbu back for help right away." He pointed at a cavalry soldier and shouted loudly.

Zhang Qiang led the gunner troops forward and forward. Although the Qing army resisted, under the fierce firepower of six hundred gunners firing in turn, they fell in pieces, and the gunners lined up in six rows. , Continuously shooting, within a quarter of an hour, the entire Qing army was cut off at the waist, and then Zhang Qiang's musketeers rushed towards Chen Jia's central army, which collapsed instantly.

He Jin in front had stopped moving when he heard the first gunshot.

He Jin's vanguard had already passed Lutan Town, the central army was inside Lutan Town, and the rear army had just entered Lutan Town.

He Jin clutched his shoulders. That night, if Zhang Qiang hadn’t been in the middle of the night, if He Jin hadn’t been vigilant and ran away immediately when he saw something was wrong, if it wasn’t for the cornice of a house in an abandoned village that blocked the bullet, He Jin was wearing heavy armor again. , it may be explained on the same day.

At this time, he heard gunshots, and felt the wound was hot and painful. Half of his arm was about to be shattered. The cronies around him desperately carried him away from the battlefield. He was raised in a mountain village. After a week of injuries, he fled back to Jinhua Jindong Town with a hundred or so defeated soldiers.

At this time, he heard the sound of gunfire more intensively than that night, and he couldn't help being embarrassed.

Tian Bin beside him asked cautiously: "My lord, can you save Zongbing Chen?"

He Jin froze for a moment, hesitated for a while, "Help, take the rear army to see, and I will follow with the Chinese army."

Tian Bin's complexion was ashen, it was uglier than crying.

"Go quickly, missed the rescue opportunity, Mr. Chen retreated, it will be hard for you and me."

Tian Bin had no choice but to call his subordinates with a sad face.

Five miles away, Zhang Qiang's firecracker team had defeated Chen Jia's central army and was chasing Chen Jia's rear army. Chen Jia led the Qing cavalry to flee at a faster speed.

Two miles away, Wei Wuji, Xuanyuan Longfei, and Hu Kui were chasing and fighting the Qing army all over the mountains and plains. Mi Chun and Zhou Porridge were climbing the mountain quickly, and they were blocked on the hillsides on both sides of the official road.

As soon as Tian Bin approached the official road with 500 members of He Jin's rear army, he was shot down by bows and crossbows, unable to advance or retreat.

In half an hour, Zhang Qiang returned with the musketeers. The musketeers were infantry, and of course they couldn't catch up with Chen Jia's cavalry. They had to open the battle line, blocking the rear and central troops on the road, and capturing the prisoners.

Another half an hour later, when He Jin led the Chinese army forward to Guandao Mountain Pass, Tian Bin was still cowering and tentatively attacking Mi Chun and Zhou Porridge's Ming army.

Seeing the arrival of He Jin's army, Xuanyuan Longfei led the spearmen to give up chasing the deserters of the Qing army, and returned to the mountain pass, blocking the middle of the official road.

Seeing the danger, Zhang Qiang ran towards the mountain pass with two hundred gunners.

He Jin saw the gunner speeding up, stroked his shoulders and said to the soldiers beside him, "Withdraw, let's go back to Wuyi County."

The battle ended at noon.

Zhang Qiang, a prisoner of the Guangqing army, arrested 2000 people, but not many people were killed, but 300 people, and the rest ran away.

In the evening, Zhang Qiang's army arrived outside Wuyi County.

He Jin, Ma Bao, Ma Weixing, Liu Guangbi, and Qi Sansheng watched Zhang Qiang, who had only [-] troops, set up camp calmly in Wuyi County.

Mi Chun rode his war horse and ran to the county seat within a stone's throw of the town, and shouted, "My lord has told you to surrender immediately, otherwise, after the city is destroyed, no chicken or dog will be left behind."

Liu Guangbi patted the crenel on the city wall, and shouted angrily: "It's a joke, my army is tens of thousands, and you dare to attack the city with only two thousand soldiers, you are beyond your control."

Qi Sansheng looked up to the sky and laughed, and Ma Bao shouted loudly: "We can guard until your family dies of old age."

Mi Chun argued a few words, cursed a few times, and ran back, "My lord, what should we do? We have too few troops, and we really can't do anything to them."

Zhang Qiang snorted coldly, "It's okay, let them live one more night for the time being, I have already sent people back to pull the cannon, and when the cannon arrives tomorrow, it will blast through the city wall, rush into the city, and kill them as hell."

Zhou Congee was startled, "My lord, we have too few troops. We are afraid that the enemy will counterattack in the middle of the night. How should we deal with it?"

Zhang Qiang raised his head and laughed loudly, "If the enemy army comes tonight, it is exactly what I want. They don't even need cannons, they can be completely wiped out, and the whole army can be rested in Wuyi County tomorrow morning."

Chapter 55 Resolution Sneak Attack

In the dark night.

In the city, in a landlord's compound, He Jin was sitting on a kang, Tian Bin looked at He Jin with a sad face, and He Jin was helpless.

Tian Bin said: "My lord, we will go out of the city tonight and run as far as we can."

He Jin shook his head, "No way, let the Qing army find out that we didn't even know how we died. There is a bully Tartar in Wuyi County. Besides, those soldiers are not our old battalion and have no loyalty to us. Once we die If they were discovered, there must be someone among them who informed them."

Tian Bin bit his lip, "Then only inform our old battalion, there are about [-] people anyway."

He Jin shook his head and asked, "Tell me, why did Zhang Qiang dare to besiege the city with only 2000 troops?"

Tian Bin said: "It's not that the hundreds of gunfire soldiers under him are powerful. In the field, if thousands of us charge forward with all our heart, they can't stop them, but there is no one who is not afraid of death."

He Jin nodded, "Yes, the Ming army's firecrackers are too powerful, and he is the best general we have ever seen in using firecrackers. It's a pity, if earlier, I could still unite with this person, and now.... "

Tian Bin rolled his eyes, "My lord, it's not too late now. The Qing army treated me like pigs and dogs. They were sent to die many times. It's better to continue our happy life anyway. No one cares about it. The sky is high." Wouldn't it be nice to let the birds fly?"

He Jin waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that walls have ears, besides, now that the army is powerful, the entire northern land and most of the south are owned by the Qing army, and the soldiers are sharp. In the future, where will we live, can we learn from Lu Jianguo and go boating on the sea? We are all dry in the north, and we are not familiar with the sea."

Tian Bin watched him stop talking, and He Jin waved his hand, "Go on, what you just said is rotten in your stomach, so it should not be known to outsiders."

Tian Bin bowed: "It's my lord."

As soon as Tian Bin walked out of He Jin's room, he heard footsteps. In a blink of an eye, the courtyard door opened, and a general from He Jin's department strode in. He glanced at him contemptuously, and then walked out of He Jin's room under the window with a cold snort. , Loudly said: "My lord, Liu Shen will invite you to come over to discuss matters."

He Jin has not been disarmed since today, and immediately said: "Call out the soldiers and follow me to the county government."

Watching He Jin leave, Tian Bin's personal soldiers said: "My lord, do you think they want to attack the Ming army outside the city at night?"

Tian Bin snorted coldly, "Even you, a fool, know, how can the Ming army outside the city not know? I think they are meat buns beating dogs, and they never return." He paused, "Just don't let He Jin go That's it."

The soldier said: "Then what if I have to wait?"

Tian Bin said: "Then I won't accompany them to death, you go and check the city gate that is loosely guarded, prepare horses and dry food, we are ready to run away at any time."

The soldier said: "My lord, if you run away, you must be able to run. There are tens of thousands of troops. If you are selected, we must go. Otherwise, General Liu Shen is not easy to talk about."

Tian Bin said angrily: "Stupid, you won't make two preparations, prepare dry food for the fleeing horses with one hand, and send someone to secretly contact the Ming army outside the city to inform our army about the night attack, in exchange for the other party's understanding? "

The soldier thought about it, and patted his thigh, "My lord's opinion." Tian Bin scolded in a low voice, "Get out of here." The soldier immediately smiled and led a few soldiers to carry out Tian Bin's order.
