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

With the return of Wei Wuji, Mi Chun, and Hu Kui with their troops, more and more troops appeared on the city walls.

Ruan Dacheng's troops were also increasing, and he urgently transferred troops from other places, and transferred several garrisons from other places, which arrived one after another at noon, and the strength reached more than 13,000 troops.

It's just that Ruan Dacheng doesn't have to count on his artillery troops, which have been transported into the city one after another because of the attack on Zhufu, and they are all accepted by Zhang Qiang at this moment.

Wei Wuji looked outside the city and said to Zhang Qiang: "It seems that there are city walls, there is Jinhua Mansion, we are in the city, there are adults in command, but the enemy's strength is not as strong as Boluo, Li Chengdong was strong, I think, Ruan Dacheng will not want to enter Jinhua City again in half a year." ”

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

Wei Wuji frowned, "My lord, no, the enemy is six times the size of our army, although our army is a sneak attack, it has also suffered a lot of losses, and it is only two thousand men and horses at present, how can it fight in the field?" There were also a shortage of men to guard the walls. ”

Zhang Qiang broke the whip in his hand and threw it to the ground, "You hand over your men and horses to Hu Kui to command, go to the city to organize those captured rebels, and after I lead the army out of the city to line up, you lead the rebels out of the city to line up behind me, so that our army has at least 4,000 troops, the enemy army is only more than 10,000 people, we still have the strength to fight, this time we will not defeat Ruan Dacheng's troops, and we will never return to the city." ”

The rebel army abandoned the city wall and went out of the city to line up, which made Ruan Dacheng's troops commotion, more than 10,000 people, frightened a few steps, almost chaotic, because they were too afraid of this army, many of them were troops who had gone to Wuyi County to encircle and suppress Zhang Qiang, and were defeated by Zhang Qiang's rebel army several times.

In an hour, Zhang Qiang's troops were already facing Ruan Dacheng's troops across the river.

"Arrogance, who is going to break through the enemy formation for Ben Shuai and take down the head of the enemy general?" Ruan Dacheng pointed at Zhang Qiang and said.

No one spoke, so Cha Er patted his horse and ran out, "My lord, I want to go." ”

Ruan Dacheng nodded, and Cha Er slapped his horse and ran back to his own formation, galloping out with the Mongolian cavalry.

Several major defeats and several losses of the cavalry of the headquarters, so that Cha Er's resentment against Zhang Qiang has been deeply rooted in the bones, after replenishment, from the Sunit and other tribes, plus the Qing army from the army, his cavalry unit has recovered a thousand troops.

This time, facing Zhang Qiang's troops, whose numbers were far less than those of the Qing army, especially seeing that Zhang Qiang's troops were mainly infantry, with only more than 100 cavalry, Cha Qiang 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 skillful horseback riding skills and tricky bows and arrows as before, and then they will take the opportunity to lead people to rush in and completely disrupt this army.

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

Across the river, Zhang Qiang discharged the front of the all-long-range troops, Mi Chun's left flank, in the middle was the fire gunners, his own headquarters was facing the bridge itself, the right flank was the combination of four hundred archers and two hundred sword players of Zhou Congee originally led by Wei Wuji led by Hu Kui, and behind the fire gunners was Xuanyuan Longfei's spear team.

On the high ground of Mi Chun's rear team is the artillery team, where are three Hongyi cannons, five Fulong machine guns, and other cannons are placed on the city wall to defend the city.

He took one hundred and eighty cavalrymen and lined up behind Xuanyuan Longfei's pikemen.

The two wings are the two thousand righteous soldiers led by Wei Wuji, all of whom were the original soldiers of the righteous army in Jinhua Mansion, all the remaining troops in Jinhua Mansion that can fight, and the other 2,500 wounded are recuperating in Jinhua Mansion, maybe seven or eight hundred of these people will not go to the battlefield again in the future, they are all disabled or incapacitated.

These rebel soldiers have an unforgettable hatred for the Qing army, and they are grateful and endlessly loyal to Zhang Qiang, who once led them to defeat Boluo's 100,000-strong army and lift the siege of Jinhua Mansion.

"Kill" Cha Shour shouted, and the Mongol cavalry with him rushed close to the bridge.

"Ready, release," a shout rang out from the artillery team behind the crossbow team led by Mi Chun.

Eight guns took turns firing solid shells.

The Mongolian cavalry was in chaos, but the formation of their charge was too dense, and a solid cannonball fired by a Hongyi cannon hit from beginning to end, crippling the team composed of more than a dozen Mongolian cavalry, and for a while, the bones were shattered, the war horse fell to the ground, and a blood-stained passage appeared in front of everyone.

The soldiers on both sides could not help but close their eyes and did not dare to look.

The other shells were either crooked or had few successes, and after killing only one or two Mongol cavalrymen, they ran out of momentum and fell into the dirt, stirring up a puff of dust.

This was almost negligible damage to the Mongol cavalry, and the brigade still rushed to the bridgehead.

The musketeers also opened fire, and the first column opened fire one after another, smashing the twenty-odd cavalry rushing in front into a sieve, while the other Mongol cavalry still jumped over the cavalry in front and rushed towards the other side of the river, where they were greeted by a volley of muskets.

More than twenty cavalry were killed and wounded, the other cavalry became chaotic, there were too many corpses, blocking the passage, the cavalry behind rushed over, collided with the other cavalry, and there was another volley, and in addition to the corpses on the bridge, only the Mongolian cavalry who were not dead and were crushed under the carcasses of the horses remained.

Ruan Dacheng frowned, threw away the horsewhip in his hand vigorously, and scolded, "Damn." ”

Turning back to the herald, he said, "Mingjin." ”

Cha Zhar held the war horse, drifting along the river, there were constantly crossbow arrows flying overhead, some pierced into the other Mongolian cavalry in front of him, some pierced on his war horse, he saw his war horse sink in his hands, but helpless, immediately let go of his hand, he and the other Mongolian cavalry were the last to rush up, but hit the cavalry in front, forced to pull the horse and jump out, as a result, jumped into the river.

With Mingjin's signal to withdraw his troops, his Mongol cavalry retreated to the rear of the army, while he and the more than 100 cavalry in front of him were either killed or wounded, and many fell into the river.

The armies of both sides did not move, and there was no one to rescue them.

A crossbow arrow came quickly, and he quickly bowed his head, and the crossbow shot at his felt hat, taking away his felt hat, and his long hair was scattered.

The rapid sound of drums sounded from the position of the rebel army, and he turned back in surprise, the Ming army actually wanted to cross the bridge and take the initiative to attack the Qing army, which was still strong.
