The news keeps coming in.

Ruan Dacheng arrived at Wuyi County with his troops three days ago, and by this time Chen Jia's troops had already diverted to attack Jinhua Mansion City.

Ruan Dacheng's 20,000 troops stayed in Wuyi County for two days, and also left Wuyi County and went to Jinhua Mansion, leaving only Lin Chengcheng's 2,000 troops to guard the county seat.

Zhang Qiang was not in a hurry, hid on Wuyi Mountain behind Bailu Creek, and continued to train his troops.

This time, he once again sent down the soldiers in his hands, and then drew one hundred and fifty people from the three hundred young men in Mi Lin and Mi Chun's troops to continue training.

Why don't you send those Han army banner soldiers, the loyalty is not enough, the three hundred young people are good to manage, or the people, after this period of time, they also have a sense of belonging to Zhang Qiang, training them is very beneficial to the improvement of the combat strength of their own troops.

For another three days, Lin Yangsheng's department made chickens and dogs jump in Wuyi County, and the people who stayed behind were either squeezed or ruined.

In the evening, Zhang Qiang learned that the Lin Cultivation Department was heading towards their station.

Zhang Qiang didn't think about running away, two thousand people against 1,700 people, he still has a chance to win, and it is the opponent who has no chance of winning.

It was in a village more than ten miles away from Zhang Qiang's troops.

Lin Chengcheng and his subordinates sat on the edge of the kang in a landlord's house, eating big fish and meat.

On the ground under the fire kang knelt an old official of Wuyi County, chattering endlessly: "My lord, the Ming rebel general, Zhang Qiangbu is hiding on the mountain behind Bailu Creek, and the villain also knows where they hide the grain, in addition, the vice general Liu you said is also on this mountain, when the villain escaped from the mountain two days ago, he saw Vice General Liu, and Vice General Liu promised that as long as the villain informs the Qing army of where he is, the villain can get the military reward of Xiaoqi and fifty taels of silver." ”

Lin Yangcheng said to the subordinates sitting beside him: "The poor people in this place are about to take off their pants, I wanted to make a handful, but I didn't want to see the two of them, it was not the old man who stayed in the city, or the old lady, there were a few young people, either disabled or blind, what can they do, this time I made my own initiative to ask Chen Zongbing to stay behind, but it was a miscalculation." ”

"My lord, you took us to defect to the Qing army, but this Qing army just gave you a garrison, ignoring your betrayal of Brother He Jin's merits, it is better for us to raise troops and escape."

Lin Chengcheng hesitated for a long time, as if he remembered that there was an informant beside him, and turned his head to the official who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "There are really only more than 600 Ming army guards on the mountain?" ”

The official looked charming, "Yes, it's an adult, there are really only more than 600 people, except for 200 Jiading, the other 400 people are newly recruited young and strong." ”

The subordinate frowned, "My lord, no, the last time we saw that general, there were thousands of people. ”

The official laughed, "Really my lord, last time his thousands of people fought with the Qing army, and suffered heavy losses, if it weren't for Vice General Liu's carelessness and rushed up to be captured by them, General Liu and the Mongolian Tartars went to chase you, and he would not have been able to defeat Vice General Liu's army and flee back to Wuyi County." In the end, he only had 100 families left, and later recruited 500 young men to gather 600 troops, he knew that he could not fight against the Qing Dynasty, so he abandoned the city and ran away, and went up the mountain to become a mountain king. ”

Lin Yangcheng held a bone, pointed to the official and said to his subordinates: "Look, it's not a big deal, although we also suffered heavy losses in the last battle, but later gathered soldiers, there were still 600 people in the old camp, and the old battalion of He Jin was merged, and more than 500 people were served, and Lord Ruan gave us 900 soldiers, which is enough to fight a Ming army garrison with only 100 families." ”

The subordinate said, "Yes, my lord is wise. ”

"Well, then let the brothers have a good night's rest tonight, and the brothers outside will strengthen their vigilance to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp, and tomorrow morning, we will go to attack the mountain."

The sky was bright, and Zhang Qiang was still stepping up the training of one hundred and fifty young men.

On the mountain road, Lin Chengcheng led 2,000 Qing soldiers to walk on the winding mountain road under the leadership of the officials.

But I don't know why they searched for a day, but they didn't find Zhang Qiang's troops, and even the food in the place where the grain was hidden pointed out by the official was gone.

Lin was so angry that he ordered the official to be cut down and set up camp by a stream in the mountains.

He stroked the beard on his chin and said to his subordinates: "This is not right, you take a team of cavalry and go to Jinhua Mansion for help, we will slowly retreat here, withdraw from here, I always feel that it is wrong." ”

The subordinate said, "Yes, sir." ”

Zhang Qiang stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the troops cultivated by the stream, Zhou Congee said, "My lord, can you attack?" ”

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "No, I'll take care of them tomorrow." You led someone to nail them down, and told Xuanyuan Longfei and Wei Wuji to tie their pockets tightly for me. You can't let go of a single person. ”

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, Lin Yangcheng and his subordinates had retreated to the mountain pass, at this time, suddenly there was a shout from both sides, flags flew all over the mountain, and countless heads appeared on the mountains on both sides.

A personal guard said: "My lord has been tricked." ”

Lin Chengcheng grabbed the war horse, "The front army accelerated forward, followed behind, and rushed out." ”

The mountain pass is flat.

Zhang Qiang's three hundred firecrackers were divided into five rows, each row of sixty people, and they had been waiting for a long time.

There were only ten cavalry guards around him, and the rest of his subordinates were arranged on both sides and behind the Lin cultivation troops.

Lin Chengcheng's pro-soldier cavalry guards had already surpassed the front army and ran in front, and when they saw Zhang Qiang's team of three hundred musketeers waiting in front, they couldn't help but stop.

The soldier said: "My lord, it's just a firecracker, after a shot, it will lose its power, it is better to let the front army rush once, lead the enemy to fire, our horse team take the opportunity to rush forward, rush the enemy formation with one blow, and kill down the mountain." ”

Lin Chengcheng nodded, "Okay, it's up to you." ”

"Rush." After a while, more than 500 people from Lin Yangcheng's former army rushed forward brandishing broadswords and spears.

"Ready." The Ming Army's waist knife in Zhang Qiang's hand was raised high, and "put-" was waved down violently.

In the firelight, the Qing troops of the former army fell one after another.

The front army continued to charge, and the second row of musketeers began to fire.

Rotated in turn, there was an endless momentum, and the front army of the Qing army was like hitting a wall, but it couldn't cross the distance of thirty steps.

Lin Yangcheng saw that the 500 people of his front army suffered heavy losses in the incessant gunfire of the enemy's gunners, and in less than three minutes, he lost more than 200 people, and the rest were like frightened sheep, running around, and his heart couldn't help but hurt, and he almost fell off his horse, and the soldiers around him hurriedly supported him.

Lin Chengcheng looked left and right, and pointed to the sides, "Over the mountain." ”

The old camp of the Liukou first attacked to the left, where the slope of the hill was not large, so that the attacking troops could be deployed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they rushed up, a rain of arrows fell, and the rogues rolled down the cliff one after another, repeatedly impacting, but still couldn't break through, because it was Zhou Congee's three hundred archers who were guarding there.

"Rush again, on the right, I don't believe it," Lin Chengcheng changed his tactics, and this time he rushed up, but he saw that he was almost at the top of the mountain, so he only listened: "Boom"

Several tiger cannons fired scattered bullets, knocking down a large area of the rogue in one fell swoop.

This is the cannon of Wuyi County, of course, Zhang Qiang can't leave it to the enemy, dismantle it and transport it away.

Lin Chengcheng's face was as white as a dead man, and he shouted angrily: "Charge again, the cannon will be fired once, and it will need to be reloaded, and it will take at least half a cup of tea." ”

The soldiers personally led the soldiers of the old battalion to charge, and this time, they were greeted by three Franc cannons and two Tiger squat cannons, or scattered shells.

"Ahh

More rogues were beaten into a sieve and rolled down the hill screaming.

Lin Cheng shouted angrily: "Turn back and attack the enemy's rear line." ”

The 500 old battalion rogues and the 300 Qing army turned around and attacked Wei Wuji's troops who were intercepting behind.

This time it was close, and suddenly countless javelins and iron bones were thrown out of the enemy troops, smashing those rogue Qing soldiers who didn't have much armor crying dad and mother.

A few bows shot a few arrows, killing a few more Qing soldiers who rushed ahead.

Just when Lin Cheng wanted to rush fiercely, he only heard a commotion, from the foot of the mountain in front, three hundred pikemen stood in the grass, covered in chain mail, chain mail, and wearing the Ming army hat helmet, this time the number has reached six hundred, the Qing army with heavy losses can no longer face so many enemies, and the other rogues are running around in the valley, but they are all beaten back, panicked.

Lin Yangcheng saw that even if he was organized, he would have no combat effectiveness, and today it seems that he has explained here.
