Lord of Ming Dynasty

Milin said: "Yes, my lord, hurry up and retreat, otherwise, the enemy's army will suddenly arrive, and our army will be few and far between, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the enemy."

He Jin was forced to submit to Zhang Qiang, feeling awkward and watching with cold eyes.

Lin Chengcheng surrendered voluntarily. Although he couldn't bear the hardships of the POW camp and had no choice but to ask for surrender, he knew that his subordinates, Mi Lin and Mi Chun, had gained trust as Zhang Qiang's subordinates, and felt that he was under Zhang Qiang's control. He can benefit from being in the army, and his mind is active. At this time, although he is eager to escape and escape from this place, he knows that he can't be too indifferent.

Immediately said: "My lord, make a plan early and evacuate first. When the enemy relaxes, or tomorrow night when the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, our army can sneak into the enemy's camp on night shift, perhaps disturbing the enemy, and take the opportunity to rush into Jinhua City and rescue them." I am a Ming people."

Zhang Qiang looked at him and He Jin's faces several times, and suddenly said: "The enemy's situation ahead is unknown, who would like to spy on the enemy's situation for me?"

Chapter 62 Fierce Decision

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone knew that the enemy's 200 troops in front had no more than a few hundred people in each team, even Mi Lin and Lin Yang's team had no more than 150 men, and Hu Kui's cavalry team had no more than [-] men.

"Your Majesty, the final general wishes," Hu Kui was the first to stand up, saying that these are his responsibilities. As Zhang Qiang's personal captain, he wants to gain Zhang Qiang's further trust and pay for it.

"My lord, the last general is willing to be the pioneer." Wei Wuji jumped out and said loudly.

"My lord, leave it to me. I will definitely enter the county town and scramble the enemy. At that time, my lord can take the opportunity to kill and defeat the enemy." Xuanyuan Longfei stepped forward, patted his chest, and looked at him with firm eyes and full of confidence. Zhang Qiang said.

Zhang Qiang glanced at the crowd, and looked at He Jin, who was wandering in the sky, "General He, you have rich combat experience. You have seen the world and traversed the northern kingdom. Why don't you go to guard the enemy's movements this time?"

"I," He Jin actually knew long ago that under such circumstances, he would not be able to escape the cannon fodder-like task of sending him to death, whether it was in the Qing army, Li Zicheng's Dashun army, or even At the time when everyone was fighting on their own and a loose alliance of insurgents, the troops of the enemy generals who surrendered were often used as cannon fodder to send to the enemy. And he often does this kind of thing, sending these people to the front.

At this time, he found that he also had such a day, which made him very reluctant to look down on Zhang Qiang. A resentment rose from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. There are so many of Zhang Qiang's cronies standing here The general, even Lin Chengcheng, wanted to kill himself. He betrayed himself twice, and he definitely didn't want to live to compete with him.

Seeing Zhang Qiang's majestic face and Zhang Qiang's indisputable eyes, He Jin cupped his fists helplessly and said, "The general will obey."

"Okay, very good," Zhang Qiang clapped his hands and said, "I can see General He's loyalty to Daming. But go, General He. I'll send General Lin Chengcheng to follow you and take care of you. Once the enemy is too strong, you can Withdraw back quickly, join General Lin, work together to resist the enemy, and choose an opportunity to escape from the enemy's pursuit."

Lin Chengcheng wanted to strangle Zhang Qiang to death. Just now he thought that Zhang Qiang would remove the thorn in his heart. With He Jin around, he was always uncomfortable, always afraid that he would get favored and take revenge on him. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, However, I was tied to a rope with him. Although the two were once one, they were born and died together.

"Milin" Zhang Qiang shouted.

Milin went out, "My lord," Zhang Qiang ordered: "You lead the troops of the headquarters, plus the one hundred new young and strong soldiers that Wei Wuji gave you to join, follow behind, make a gesture of escorting food and grass, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and plant more flags , coercing some civilians along the road, creating more momentum, making the enemy think that it is my Chinese army that is advancing."

"Yes, my lord, the last general obeys orders." Milin didn't know why Zhang Qiang was like this, but he joined Zhang Qiang's army and was used to obeying Zhang Qiang's orders.

Zhang Qiang rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes, six hundred, two hundred, three hundred, a total of one thousand and one hundred people, build up a little momentum, pretend to be his main force, it should be right, after all, his total strength is only more than 100 people, Use one-third of the troops to attract the attention of the enemy, and the enemy should be able to be fooled.

As for the real main force of elite soldiers, Zhang Qiang decided to take a detour to rescue Jinhua County. Ruan Dacheng was not fooled last night and ignored him. This is either because the enemy is stupid and does not take himself seriously, or the enemy is very shrewd and calm , wait for yourself to make another move,

Zhang Qiang doesn't believe it anymore. If my real soldiers appear in your eyes, you will be indifferent. You should divide your troops to intercept them anyway. Once you divide your troops to intercept them, your troops will be much smaller. Even if you divide thousands of troops, your total The number of troops is also reduced by a few thousand. In addition to your siege of Jinhua Mansion, there are no more than 1 people?

The number of troops stationed in the surrounding counties should not exceed a few thousand, and your central military garrison should not have more than a thousand people. From this point of view, the enemy's strength to fight against the main force of their own that suddenly appeared in their field of vision is only a few thousand to 1. There are many people around, although it seems to be several times his own strength, but that time he did not fight with a small number of elite soldiers to meet the enemy's several times his own strength.

Zhang Qiang knew it was very risky, but he knew that if he didn’t take the risk at this moment, he was still very weak, so he could only take the risk again and again. If he made the right bet, he would get benefits. Nothing left, maybe including my own life.

The three of them attacked with the soldiers from the headquarters, and Zhang Qiang also took the troops from the headquarters, and the elite troops of several generals, and quickly moved to another place. Tian Bin did not return all night. The good news is that he has already entered the Jinhua Mansion, but he cannot get out. The bad news, just as I expected, has gone to the enemy again.

Unlike He Jin, Lin Chengcheng, and the Milin Department, Zhang Qiang's remaining elite troops rushed eastward from the very beginning, marching forcibly, mostly on country roads, and even many mountain roads. Some bandits, all killed or taken with them, circled a large circle of more than 30 miles, passed through Beishan, and reached the Beishan valley outside Jinhua County at night to hide.

In Jinhua County, Ruan Dacheng looked at the Zhu Mansion that had been attacked by artillery fire, and listened to the reports of Chen Jia and Cha Er.

"My lord, the Ming army from Wuyi County was defeated, and the rest of the troops were scattered in the countryside. The army was chasing and captured Lin Chengcheng. He Jin and Mi Lin fled, and the Ming army's garrison Zhang Qiang was missing."

Ruan Dacheng said: "Continue to pursue, we must seize the Ming army's garrison, Zhang Qiang, I will use his head to commemorate the more than 3 soldiers, and also explain to Boluobeile, Tian Bin has already said that this person was once the deputy of the Jinhua Rebel Army. Commander, it was he who made it impossible for our [-] troops to conquer Jinhua County for the first time, if it weren't for Zhu Dadian's stupidity, we might not be able to take Jinhua County this time."

He turned his head to a general of the Han army banner and said, "Have you caught Zhu Dadian?"

The general lowered his head, "My lord, the last general is incompetent, Zhu Dadian is unknown, we only beheaded Lu Jinzhong, Jinhua's new guard, and captured the guard commander Qiu Quan, who has already surrendered to us."

The general raised his head and said to Ruan Dacheng: "According to my request, Lu Jinzhong sent dead men to escort Zhu Dadian's family out of Jinhua Mansion through the secret passage last night."

Ruan Dacheng shook his head, "I didn't expect this classmate to be enlightened." He turned his head, "Continue to send people to chase Zhu Dadian, and we must catch him." He took a few steps forward and saw that he was being escorted away from under the government office. The prisoners of the rebel army who passed by said to Chen Jia: "Don't keep these people, kill them all."

Chapter 63 The Sneak Attack Succeeded

Chen Jia was afraid of Ruan Dacheng's ruthlessness, but he had to think for himself. Several battles with Zhang Qiang caused him to lose troops, and he didn't have many troops in his hands. If he could turn these rebel soldiers into his subordinates, then his strength would be Then he can recover, and his position in the Qing army can still be secured. If there are no soldiers, he, the general soldier, is not as good as a coated slave of the Qing army.

Therefore, Chen Jia said: "My lord, this is a good time for us to expand our strength. Besides, we have suffered heavy losses this time. We lost thousands of troops in the siege of Jinhua Mansion for more than a month. Last night, we lost thousands of troops. Because of the encirclement and suppression of Zhang Qiang, 3 troops were lost, and insurgents and bandits also attacked our army in other counties. I'm afraid the position has been shaken."

Ruan Dacheng listened to him quietly, and then said: "It's okay, I don't need this proof of my loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. I was able to defeat Zhu Dadian and take down the Jinhua Mansion. Boluo Belle will not be unaware of this credit. , on the contrary, if I catch too many soldiers, I will be suspected by the Jurchen, Chen Jia, sometimes, you should use your brain, see the situation clearly, and adapt to current events, otherwise maybe a catastrophe will come that day, and it will be too late to regret. "

Chen Jia nodded obediently, but he felt a bit of bitterness in his heart. He is a military general, and military generals are different from Ruan Dacheng. Ruan Dacheng is a civil servant, so of course he must fight bravely. The bell was replaced by someone else.

Ruan Dacheng said to the generals beside him again: "How many rebels and civilians have been captured?"

The general said: "In this battle, as well as before, we captured a total of 500 rebels, including the rebel generals who voluntarily surrendered, a total of 300 people; Jinhua County captured a total of [-] people, but They are all old and weak, and the young and strong have all died in battle or been captured and fled."

Ruan Dacheng said coldly: "Kill them all, and let the Ming army and those loyal to Ming Dynasty in Jinhua Mansion and the surrounding area see what will happen to us if we oppose the Qing Dynasty."

The general shivered, and replied in a trembling voice: "Yes, my lord."

Ruan Dacheng walked down the hill in front of the government office. Zhang Qiang asked Wei Wuji to lead people to pile up this hill. At this moment, traces of the battle can still be seen on the rough road, but it is not obvious anymore. , the main battles in Jinhua County took place in the streets near Zhu's Mansion, and in Zhu's Mansion in the second half of the night.

Ruan Dacheng returned to Jindong Town to rest. A large group of Tartar generals of the Qing army, a large group of Han generals of the Han army, and surrendered generals of the Ming army gathered in Ruan Dacheng's temporary tent of the Chinese army in Jindong Town, in a squire's compound. As for the squire's own family, corpses have been piled up in the woodshed in the backyard.

In the midst of drinking and drinking, Ruan Dacheng also wrote poems and painted paintings, which was extremely arty, but the Qing Army Tartars were extremely barbaric, and they hugged the Han women in public and did things that were easy to do.

At night, Zhang Qiang's troops sneaked into Jinhua County. There were endless screams and clashes of swords and swords.

Until Chen Jia woke up and rushed out with the guards from the government office, the entire Jinhua County was already under Zhang Qiang's world.

What Chen Jia thought of was not to meet Zhang Qiang, but to bring his own soldiers, gather the deserters, and head towards the south gate.

But this time he was not so lucky, Wei Wuji's brigade suddenly appeared at the south gate and west gate, blocking his retreat.

In the rain of arrows, Chen Jia was the first to be hit by an arrow. He fell off his horse and was rescued by his own soldiers, but was shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows. Together.

Zhang Qiang's troops entered from the north gate, Wei Wuji entered from the south gate, Mi Chun's troops entered from the west gate, and Hu Kui entered from the east gate.

Jinhua County is in chaos.

By the time Ruan Dacheng got the news of the deserters and assembled his troops, Zhang Qiang had basically ended the sneak attack and cleaned up the battlefield.

Ruan Dacheng rushed under the city wall of Jinhua County with his troops, and was blocked by Mi Chun's crossbowmen brigade. Hu Kui's cavalry rushed out from the darkness, and defeated Ruan Dacheng's vanguard in the first battle. , hundreds of people were killed and injured, and had to withdraw from Jinhua County.

Zhang Qiang's troops were busy all night in Jinhua County, and rescued more than 3000 rebels. Although more than 2000 people were seriously injured, it was because they were being massacred by the Qing army. When Zhang Qiang's troops arrived, his life was saved.

More than 5000 people were rescued.

Reoccupying Jinhua County, Zhang Qiang didn't close his eyes all night.

Appeared on the top of the city the next day.

Outside the city, Ruan Dacheng was in a panic and had gathered more than 1 Qing troops. It wasn't that he didn't want to gather more troops, but the [-] troops in Jinhua County were wiped out by Zhang Qiang's overnight sneak attack.

Apart from the more than 1 troops outside the city, the rest of the troops were stationed in other counties, or wiped out remnants of the Ming army or deserters from the rebel army in the villages. The main force of these people was the Hejin and Milin troops.
