Liu Liangzuo was captured, and the Han army banner besieging Zhou Congee and Wei Wuji was the first to see it, and they tried to recapture Liu Liangzuo under the organization of the officers, but Zhang Qiang shouted and gathered five remaining cavalrymen, and at the same time, about 20 musketeers and a dozen musketeers rushed over from all sides, protecting Zhang Qiang, while dragging Liu Liangzuo to the center of the position by the way, cutting off their connection with Liu Liangzuo.

The musketeer troops, who had solved the dozen or so cavalry brought by Liu Liangzuo, although they had more than 20 casualties, had already regrouped at this time and killed them together, and they dispersed in a volley.

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Liu Liangzuo has been captured, the Lord will be captured." ”

At this time, the morale of the army on all sides was shaken, the Han army flags scattered and fled, Zhang Qiang ordered the disbandment of the team, and scattered in pursuit in a squad situation, and suddenly the battlefield within a radius of four or five miles was full of the sound of pursuit.

It lasted for an hour, and Zhang Qiang was afraid that the enemy would pursue He Jin and Lin Chengcheng's troops back, so he hurriedly formed a team and cleaned up the battlefield.

After another hour, Zhang Qiang, who had finished cleaning the battlefield in a hurry, hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield with more than 400 troops and 1,200 prisoners.

Less than half an hour after they withdrew from the battlefield, Liu Guangbi ran back with more than 1,000 Han military flags and more than 300 Mongolian cavalry, leaving them only deserters all over the mountains.

But there is a catch-up.

Zhang Qiang entered Wuyi County early.

"Haha, I've made a lot of money," Zhang Qiang drank a few sips of water, patted the Huanghuali official hat chair, and said excitedly.

You Haibo looked worried below.

Wei Wuji smiled and said, "My lord, look, I caught Liu Liangzuo, what should I be rewarded?" ”

Zhang Qiang pointed at him and said, "Okay, reward, reward." ”

Zhou Congee said angrily: "My lord, I saved you, and if you want to reward me, you should reward me first." ”

Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "Reward,"

Xuanyuan Longfei stood there depressed, muttering: "I also want to save the adult, but it's too far, when I turn the horse's head, Liu Liangzuo has already rushed to you, although I threw the spear in my hand, it was just to kill an enemy horseman, alas——。 ”

Du Ge looked up at the roof of the county office, not to mention him, although he also discovered Zhang Qiang's crisis, but it was too far, he was at least more than a mile away from Zhang Qiang, and it was too late to rescue.

Hu Kui lowered his head and stood under the lobby, with chagrin and shame on his face, not only did he not kill Liu Liangzuo, but he was also escaped by Liu Liangzuo, and he was almost killed by Liu Liangzuo's cavalry, and his cavalry also suffered heavy casualties, thirty-five of them died at once, and the rest were wounded.

Zhang Qiang looked around at his subordinates, "Today's people are all meritorious, all rewarded, as for the responsibility, it is also my responsibility, it is I who is too light on the enemy, and I sent Hu Kui out, but our cavalry team is too small, and the training is insufficient, and the cavalry except for a few who have cavalry experience, the others are horse infantry, and it is okay to be a sentry in peacetime, but fighting with the enemy, it is a little insufficient, this is my dereliction of duty, I should have taken you to break through before the arrival of the enemy's large army, I should not want to touch the enemy, it is my fault." ”

You Haibo said: "My lord, you can't risk yourself in the future, there are only more than a thousand righteous troops, or the gap with the enemy is too big, the old man originally wanted to take someone to attack to save you, but I remembered that there were too many displaced people around, and the strong enemy was around, and I didn't dare to attack easily, and the left-behind troops of only 250 people were not enough to defend the city, and they couldn't fight in the field at all, especially in the face of the Qing army brigade, but they ignored your safety, and the lower official should die." ”

After saying that, he knelt down.

Zhang Qiang waved his hand, "Forget it, it's me who underestimated the enemy, next, settle the soldiers, pay the pension, give ten taels of silver to each dead soldier, eight taels of silver for the seriously injured, heal the lightly injured, send five taels of silver, and the rest of the soldiers, three taels of silver per person, and the rest of the rice, flour, grain and oil, Lord You, you look at the hair, you must not treat the soldiers badly." ”

He glanced at his subordinates, "As for you, Du Ge will send fifteen taels of silver, Lord You, select the family members who have been brushed down to supplement the team of sword players among your servants." ”

"Xuanyuan Longfei, also send fifteen taels, you go to the previous four hundred young people to pick someone to supplement the team."

"Zhou Congee, you have the merit of saving the driver, and you can give fifty taels of silver, and you can give priority to those archers and other troops from other teams to supplement the team."

"Wei Wuji, you have the merit of capturing the enemy's main general, and you will also be given fifty taels, and my fifty pro-army infantry will be supplemented to you first, and the rest of the manpower will also be replenished from four hundred young men, thinking that you can't defend the city without a main general in the future, you will defend the city in the future." Your troops are expanded to 400 men, which can be divided into four squads: infantry, archers, pikemen, and musketeers.

But these squads are not fixed in the future, which means that they may not always be in your team, and your duty is to train some ordinary soldiers and supplement the team of others at any time. By the way, help Lord You to guard the city. ”

Then Zhang Qiang turned his head to You Haibo and said, "Your twenty Jiading cavalry will be added to Hu Kui's cavalry, and the twenty-five herald cavalry trained by the government will be re-selected." ”

Zhou Congee said: "My lord, what should we do with the Liukou team we brought back." ”

Zhang Qiang said: "Break them up and put them into their respective teams, as for those two people," Zhang Qiang thought for a while, turned to Wei Wuji and said: "You take them, see what specialties they have, and train them," and then he said melancholy: "Not only do we have fewer soldiers, but also fewer generals, and there are fewer generals who can take charge of themselves." ”

Zhang Qiang sighed and looked up at the top of the county office, "The mirror is hanging high, and he is honest and honest." I couldn't help but shake my head.

You Haibo said: "My lord, there are so many Qing troops and rogues in our county, the people can't be peaceful, just on this day, three thousand people have fled to the county seat, we will not be able to harvest much grain this year, let alone other commodities to be traded, we only have the food and materials we brought at the beginning, I am afraid we will not be able to feed these seven or eight thousand people and our army of nearly 1,000 people." And these 1,200 enemy prisoners. ”

Zhang Qiang touched his head, this is a trouble.

Zhou Congee said: "My lord, we have captured a lot of materials from the Qing army, but we have not counted them yet. ”

Zhang Qiang turned his head to You Haibo and said, "Recruit people immediately and report them as soon as possible." ”

The generals dispersed, Zhang Qiang began to feel melancholy, although this battle barely defeated the enemy, but the enemy is still strong, at least more than 5,000 enemies, there are still five or six thousand homeless people outside, at least 1,000 rogues.

I don't know where He Jin and Lin Yangyang fled, he didn't believe that the Mongolian cavalry could annihilate all these rogues, maybe they could catch one or two, but He Jin and Lin Yangcheng were people who had become elites, and they would definitely flee separately, they ran into the mountains of Wuyi County, and it was the people of Wuyi County who would be the trouble in the future, and their own ruling territory.

These people are not their own people, and they will not show mercy to the people of Wuyi County, and now they don't know what the scourge is like outside.

Although he defeated the enemy, captured 1,200 enemies, and captured countless people, but the whole team of 1,000 people, and finally brought back only more than 400 people, if it hadn't been for a month's training time, I am afraid that he would have collapsed long ago, and he was also killed or captured by the enemy.

This road to hegemony is really not easy to walk.

More than 400 people, plus 250 soldiers guarding the city, plus the original 400 young men who had been trained for a week, their own men and horses have only just reached 1,000 people, and they are still reluctant to defend the county seat, and it is not good to attack.

What I have to worry about is whether the Liukou will come to attack the city, and whether the Qing army will come to encircle and suppress him.

Asking Zhu Dadian for help, it's not impossible, but come to think of it, this Zhu Dadian in history will not bring people to rescue him, he still has Jinhua County and the other three county towns to guard, the Qing army will come back at any time, what should I do?
