In the first battle of the abandoned village at the foot of Bailuxi Mountain, although Zhang Qiang directly defeated Chen Jiabu, but due to carelessness, he was attacked by He Jin and suffered heavy losses, losing more than 400 people in the first battle, and more than 300 people were injured, which can be described as a wounded bone.

Let Wei Wuji take his subordinates to escort the prisoners and escort the wounded to the Mingwang Temple, and he himself took the remaining troops and supplies to the Bailuxi Mountain to rest and recuperate.

Hu Kui was very depressed and said to Zhang Qiang: "Just let go of the Qing soldiers?" ”

Zhang Qiang snorted coldly, "No, you take the forty-five firecrackers you have trained before, and the remaining fifty cavalry to attack and harass near Wuyi County, you can't let them feel better, wait for me to rest for a while, and then fight with them." ”

"Yes, sir, I'll go." Hu Kui happily drove his horse to carry out Zhang Qiang's order.

Zhang Qiang watched him leave and touched his chin, although his headquarters suffered heavy losses, he still had more than 1,100 people, but when it came to attacking the city, it was definitely not possible to face the enemy's 2,000-strong guards, but it was still possible to harass the enemy and make the enemy nervous.

This time the enemy came with more than 7,000 troops, but he wiped out more than 5,000 troops, Liu Guangbi, who wanted to come to the city, must be scared to death, and he would not dare to go out of the city in the future, even if he went out of the city, he would flee in a hurry at night, that is to say, the Qing soldiers could no longer threaten him at present.

He could harass the enemy while resting for a while, converting the prisoners, this time at least seventeen or eight hundred prisoners were captured, and all the stubborn ones were executed, and those who were likely to be reformed were left to work, for the time being, he was not short of food, there was no burden on the people, and the food captured by his troops and the food he had hidden before was enough for his troops to feed his troops for two years.

A whole 5,000 stone of grain, as well as other food, a lot of materials, a lot of captured weapons and armor, muskets, artillery, and the most is horses, a full seven or eight hundred horses, just eating forage gives him a headache, and he has to transform them into combat effectiveness, but this is the south, there are not many people who can ride horses, and it is really difficult for Zhang Qiang to find some cavalry talents, he has only put together 150 cavalry in the past two months, and 50 cavalry have died in the first battle, and 63 war horses have been lost.

In the Egret Creek Mountain, out of the hidden valley, hundreds of captives are busy, they are building a cottage, the exits on both sides of the valley are built into the style of city gates, the mountain is dug up, and a hidden cave is built, and the tunnel exits in all directions extend far away.

Mi Chun was taking the soldiers to monitor the captives, there were seven or eight hundred prisoners, except for the stubborn ones who were sent to dig tunnels in the mountains, the others were leveling the ground and building cottages.

Zhang Qiang took Zhou Congee to inspect the entire construction site, and Mi Chun followed, "Mi Chun, this place is very important, it is an open base for us, so you have to build this place strongly, and then strongly, and at the same time pay attention to hoarding food and materials, and be prepared to stick to it for a long time." ”

Mi Chun said: "My lord, digging soil and cutting trees every day, do we want to hide here for the rest of our lives?" ”

Zhang Qiang put his hands behind his back, walked and looked left and right, "No, this is just a bait for us to attract the enemy to attack, we have to stick here for a long time, and the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty will not be achieved overnight." ”

Zhou Congee interjected: "My lord, where is Milin?" ”

"Well, where will it be a secret base for us, a base like this, we have to prepare a few more places, and be prepared for a long-term struggle against the enemy."

Zhou Congee asked again, "My lord, we have suffered heavy losses after this battle, and now there is no young man to replenish, is that to replenish some troops, at least to supplement some of the Ming army's troops into our troops." ”

"Okay, it's been a month since you went to select four hundred, and you've performed well, and you want to join our troops and add them to each army, and transfer two hundred archers from your army to join my firecracker team."

Mi Chun said: "My lord, do you have to train all of them to be firecrackers?" Even if your firecrackers lose a few dozen people, there are still four hundred, and if you come with two hundred, that's not six hundred? I don't think there are archers for those musketeers, but the cavalry is useful, and if we train more archers and cavalry, we will also capture a lot of crossbows, so it is better to train a crossbow army. ”

Zhang Qiang touched his forehead and thought for a while, "Okay, your troops will be changed to crossbow troops, and the baggage team will be handed over to Milin to be in charge, you go to him to select the four hundred Ming army to surrender, and the Han army flag will use crossbows to train a crossbow army." From now on, we will have another long-range unit in our hands. ”

The days passed quickly, and two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

After Li Chengdong could not capture the county seat of Jinhuafu for a long time, he left Ruan Dacheng to lead 50,000 Ming troops to surrender, Ming army guards, and 10,000 Han army banner troops to continue to besiege Jinhua Mansion, and then took 100,000 troops to carry out Boluo's order to destroy the Longwu court.

Zheng Zhilong, who wanted to surrender to the Qing court, finally showed his fangs, he let Shi Fu retreat from Xianxia Pass, let go of Xianxia Pass, the vanguard of the Qing army of 30,000 people went straight to Yanping Mansion, Li Chengdong's troops then marched towards Fuzhou, all the way like a bamboo, and Emperor Longwu fled to Tingzhou Mansion in fear.

But what is different from history is that because Zhang Qiang broke the siege of the Qing army in Jinhua Mansion, Bo Luo vomited blood angrily, returned to Hangzhou to recuperate, and returned to Yanjing in August, all the things related to the attack on Nanming were handed over to Li Chengdong to be responsible, Ruan Dacheng cooperated, and there was no matter of the Qing army desperately pursuing Emperor Longwu, and Li Chengdong did not pursue Emperor Longwu, but went to fight Fuzhou Mansion, so that Emperor Longwu stayed in Tingzhou Mansion, and gathered officials and defeated soldiers loyal to him, gained respite and recovered strength, and controlled the time of the imperial court.

Emperor Longwu is a rare capable emperor in the Southern Ming Dynasty, got rid of the control of the Zheng family, and in half a month, his troops have reached 30,000, and the generals are gathered.

At the end of August, the vanguard forces of the Qing army were defeated in Yanping Province and the battle line was stabilized in the area of Yanping Province.

At this time, Chen Jia, who had fled back to the Jindong area of Jinhua Prefecture, was planning with Ruan Dacheng to send troops to Wuyi County again.

After Ruan Dacheng got Chen Jia's defeat, he had once again sent an additional army of 5,000 people from Nanming to Ma Bao, Ma Weixing, and Qi Sansheng to rescue Liu Guangbi together.

A few days later, He Jin fled back to the Jindong region with his people, and Ruan Dacheng reprimanded him, and then asked him to lead 2,000 troops again and follow Chen Jia to exterminate Zhang Qiang's Southern Ming army.

Chen Jia led 5,000 troops this time.

On the way, Chen Jia said to He Jin: "General He Jin, this time you are the vanguard, my Chinese army is with you, you and I cannot be separated by more than five miles, support each other, be cautious, do not rush in, fall into Zhang Thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”

He Jin replied very reluctantly: "Yes, my lord." ”

Returning to the military tent where he was, a person ran in, He Jin saw that it was Lin Chengcheng's general, frowned and said: "Tian Bin, I didn't expect you to be in the right time, and you also ran back." ”

Tian Bin wiped the dust on his face, and looked palpitating, "My lord, the generals of the Ming army are too powerful, they are stable and not chaotic in the dark night, even if I try my best to mobilize their troops, it is just an itch in the boots, the villain fought all night, seeing that things could not be done, he had to retreat, with fifty people, he traveled to many places, and finally returned here today, I heard that I was going to send troops again, and the villain had nowhere to go, so I could only come to you." ”
