Lord of Ming Dynasty

He Jin's troops fled when the Mongolian cavalry sent by Ruan Dacheng attacked them. They were all old bandits and had their own ways of escaping. This was why Zhang Qiang returned He Jin's old troops to him. Soldiers, there is only one result, fighting to the death and being annihilated by the enemy's superior forces.

These old bandits also have another advantage. They all have a set of methods and self-consciousness for regrouping. They all know where to find He Jin without discussing. They were able to rise again, because those who died were some peripheral rogues, vagrants, and old rogues were quite cunning. When they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately dispersed and fought smoothly. Their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. They were defeated. In the event of a war, they can quickly regroup.

So a miracle happened. Although He Jin was attacked by surprise, he had been on guard since he clearly knew that Zhang Qiang sent them to attract the enemy's attention. The soldier Sunit worked hard and spent a lot of time, but he only killed two hundred and captured dozens of old bandits, and the other ones regrouped with He Jin in the mountains twenty miles away .

The same is true for Lin Chengcheng, but he was unlucky. He had not only Mongolian cavalry, but also Manchu Manchus, and even Han army banner infantry. He escaped wounded, and then found He Jin's department. Except for being merged by He Jin, the rest died in the battle, and Lin Chengcheng was also captured.

The Milin Division is alert, but there are too many enemies, and most of the Milin Division are young and strong. Although they have a lot of combat experience, they can face the Qing army with superior numbers. Merlin fled with a few cavalrymen, the others were wiped out.

The Qing army cast a large net and pursued them closely, which also caused Ruan Dacheng to be unable to take back the troops he had thrown out at once. More than 5000 soldiers and horses were restrained in the county towns and mountains around Jinhua Mansion.

Facing the sneak attack of the rebel troops in Wuyi County, the Qing army around Jinhua Mansion was not prepared at all.

×××××

The two sides confronted each other, Zhang Qiang led his troops on the city wall, and Ruan Dacheng led his troops outside Jinhua City.

As Wei Wuji, Mi Chun, and Hu Kui returned with their troops, more and more troops appeared on the city wall.

Ruan Dacheng's troops were also increasing. He urgently dispatched troops from other places, and mobilized several garrisons from other places. They arrived one after another at noon, and the strength reached more than 3000.

It's just that Ruan Dacheng didn't have to count on his artillery troops anymore. These were transported into the city one after another because of the attack on the Zhu Mansion, and Zhang Qiang laughed at them now.

Wei Wuji looked outside the city, and said to Zhang Qiang: "It seems that there is a city wall and Jinhua Mansion. We are inside the city, and there are adults in command, but the enemy's strength is not as strong as Boluo. Li Chengdong was strong at the time. I think Ruan Dacheng is Don't even think about entering Jinhua City again in half a year."

Zhang Qiang chuckled, "Defend the city, no, let's go out of the city to fight the enemy, this time I am not going to be a turtle, I want to wipe out the enemy in the wild, so that the Qing army will have a headache when they see us in the future, especially the Qing army led by Ruan Dacheng of these troops."

Wei Wuji frowned, "My lord, no, the enemy is six times larger than our army. Although our army is a sneak attack, we have lost a lot. There are only 2000 troops at present. How can we fight in the field? There are not enough manpower to guard the city wall."

Zhang Qiang broke off the whip in his hand and threw it on the ground, "Give your troops to Hu Kui to command, and go to the city to organize the captured rebels. After I lead the army out of the city and line up, you lead the rebels out of the city and line up behind me. In this way, our army has at least 1 troops, and the enemy's army is only more than [-], and we still have the power to fight. If we don't defeat Ruan Dacheng's troops this time, we will never return to the city."

The rebel army abandoned the city wall and marched out of the city, which caused a commotion in Ruan Dacheng's troops. More than 1 people were scared and took a few steps, almost chaotic, because they were too afraid of this army. Wuyi County encircled and suppressed Zhang Qiang's troops, but was defeated several times by Zhang Qiang's rebel forces.

For an hour, Zhang Qiang's troops had lined up against Ruan Dacheng's troops across the river.

"Arrogance, who is going to break through the enemy's formation and take down the enemy's head for this commander?" Ruan Dacheng pointed at Zhang Qiang.

No one spoke, Cha Er patted his horse and ran out, "My lord, the general is willing to go."

Ruan Dacheng nodded, and Chael patted his horse and ran back to the main formation, galloping out with the Mongolian cavalry.

Several major defeats and several losses of cavalry in his own department made Chadaier's resentment towards Zhang Qiang go deep into his bones. A thousand soldiers were restored.

This time, facing Zhang Qiang's troops, which were much smaller than the Qing army, especially seeing that Zhang Qiang's troops were mainly infantry, with only a little more than 100 cavalry, Chadel believed that as long as his cavalry could rush in front of Zhang Qiang's troops.

These Ming soldiers will definitely be defeated by their own cavalry with skilled horseback riding skills and tricky bows and arrows like before, and then they will take the opportunity to lead people to rush in and completely disrupt this army. The local rebel troops of the Ming army who dared to resist the Qing Dynasty.

But he ignored the discipline and cunning of Zhang Qiang's troops.

Across the river, Zhang Qiang lined up the front line of all long-range troops. Mi Chun's left wing was the firecrackers in the middle, his own troops were facing the bridge itself, and the right wing was Hu Kui's four hundred bows and arrows led by Wei Wuji. A combination of two-hundred-sword and two-hundred-sword poker players, and Xuanyuan Longfei's spear team behind the firecrackers.

On the high ground of Michun's rear team is the artillery team, where there are three Hongyi cannons and five Fran cannons. The other cannons are placed on the city wall to defend the city.

With 180 cavalry, he lined up behind Xuanyuan Longfei's pikemen.

The two wings are the 500 rebel soldiers led by Wei Wuji, all of which are the original rebel soldiers of Jinhua Mansion. These are all the remaining troops in Jinhua Mansion that can fight, and the other 800 wounded are recuperating in Jinhua Mansion. Maybe these people have Seven or [-] people will never go to the battlefield in the future, they are all disabled or have lost their ability to fight.

These rebel soldiers had an unforgettable hatred for the Qing army, and they were grateful and worshiped and loyal to Zhang Qiang who had led them to defeat the [-] troops of Boluo and lifted the siege of Jinhua Mansion.

"Kill!" Chadel yelled loudly, and the Mongolian cavalry he led rushed close to the bridge.

"Get ready, let go" shouts came from the artillery team behind the crossbow team led by Mi Chun.

The eight artillery pieces fired solid shells in turn.

The Mongolian cavalry suddenly became chaotic, but their charging formation was too dense. A solid shell fired by a Hongyi cannon hit from the beginning to the end, maiming a team composed of more than a dozen Mongolian cavalry. For a while, the bones were broken. Cracked, the horse fell to the ground, and a blood-stained passage appeared in front of everyone.

The soldiers on both sides couldn't help closing their eyes, not daring to look.

The other few shells were either misfired, or had little success. They only killed one or two Mongolian cavalrymen, and then they ran out of momentum and fell into the mud, stirring up a burst of dust.

This is almost negligible damage to the Mongolian cavalry, and the brigade still rushed to the bridge.

The musketeers also opened fire, and the first column fired one after another, smashing the more than 20 cavalry rushing in front into a sieve, and the other Mongolian cavalry still jumped over the cavalry in front and rushed towards the other side of the river. A volley of gunmen.

More than 20 cavalrymen were killed and wounded, and the other cavalrymen became chaotic. There were too many corpses, blocking the passage. The cavalrymen behind rushed over, collided with other cavalrymen, and fired again. Except for the corpses on the bridgehead, there were only Mongolian cavalrymen who were not dead and were crushed under the horse corpses.

Ruan Dacheng frowned, threw the whip in his hand vigorously, and cursed, "Damn it."

Turning back to the messenger, he said, "Ming Jin."

Chadel held his horse and drifted along the river. Crossbow arrows flew over his head constantly, some of them pierced into the other Mongolian cavalry in front of him, and some of them stuck into his horse. His hand sank, but he had no choice but to let go immediately. He and the other Mongolian cavalry were the last to rush up, but they bumped into the cavalry in front and were forced to pull their horses and jump out. As a result, they jumped into the river.

Following Mingjin's signal to withdraw troops, his Mongolian cavalry retreated behind the army, but he and the more than 100 cavalry in front were either killed or injured, and many fell into the river.

The armies on both sides did not move, and no one rescued them.

A crossbow bolt rushed towards him, and he quickly lowered his head. The crossbow arrow hit his felt hat, took his felt hat away, and his long hair was scattered.

The rapid drumbeat sounded from the position of the rebel army, and he turned his head in surprise. The Ming army actually wanted to cross the bridge and attack the still strong Qing army.

Chapter 65 Capture Ruan Dacheng

Seeing that Zhang Qiang's front army moved, even Ruan Dacheng, who was still annoyed at his mistake just now, which caused the Mongolian cavalry to lose more than 100 cavalry, was overjoyed. It was you who hit me just now, and it's time for me to hit you this time.

"The order, the archers line up, and the firecrackers attack." Ruan Dacheng shouted at his messenger.

A thousand archers rushed out from the formation, ran forward under the leadership of their respective leading generals, and sealed the bridgehead.

A thousand firecrackers lined up behind them, raising their firecrackers. All the firecrackers in the Qing army came from the Han army flag. Everyone knows that since Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong surrendered to the Qing, the Qing army's firearms troops have become even stronger. On the next floor, most of the Qing army has firearms troops, not just infantry, archers, and cavalry. Although cavalry is the main force, gunfire soldiers can also occupy a place, and they can make meritorious deeds from time to time.

On the side of the rebel army, two hundred knives players followed by two hundred musketeers rushed up the bridge and slowly moved towards the opposite bank. Eight cannons kept bombarding the Qing army on the other bank.

The archers and gunfire soldiers of the Qing army were scattered by the cannons. The bows and arrows they shot were crooked, and the bullets they shot were flying around. Except for some unlucky swordsman and gunfire players, the troops who rushed to the bridge did not have many casualties. To their trouble, the corpses of the Mongol cavalry they had killed earlier caused their formation to be scattered.

The firecrackers had to stop, and under the cover of the swordsmen's shields, they cleaned up the corpses first, and threw them all into the Wujiang River.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they rushed to the other side of the river, and were immediately surrounded by infantry of the Qing army. Army, a steady stream of soldiers rushed to the bridge to support the other side.

The corpses of both sides almost blocked the bridgehead. An hour later, after losing more than 300 soldiers, Zhang Qiang's sword player troops finally opened up a bridgehead less than 30 meters long and 20 meters wide at the bridgehead on the opposite bank. Xuanyuan Longfei's spear The team ran forward, rushed to the opposite bank, and continued to expand the bridgehead. Hu Kui's swordsmen and poker players were almost killed and injured, and the archers also joined in the hand-to-hand combat. The oppression finally opened up a 100-meter-wide front, and Mi Chun's crossbow arrows lined up in the river on both sides of the river to support the battle ahead.

Zhang Qiang's musketeers suffered two hundred casualties, and finally 400 people stood behind the pikemen and sword players. With the continuous investment of Wei Wuji's rebel troops, the bridgehead position continued to expand, and the deaths on both sides continued to rise. Zhang Qiang's troops finally all Arriving at the opposite bank, and fighting with their backs, they were besieged by the Qing army. The front of the one-mile-wide battlefield refused to give in to each other and fought hard.

When the artillery passed the river bank and bombarded the Qing army, the Qing army had to get back on its feet again, and sent Mongolian cavalry and Ming cavalry to assault the frontal positions of Zhang Qiang's troops.
