Chen Jia entered Wuyi County in the night, and Wuyi County was empty.

Zhang Qiang had already returned to Bailuxi Mountain at this time, and met Wei Wuji and them.

On the mountain, it was busy, and everyone urgently transferred the supplies to the deeper mountains, leaving Mi Chun to guard the prisoners, and Mi Lin was still guarding the materials and prisoners at Mingwang Temple.

Zhang Qiang led 1,800 elite soldiers to exercise overnight, lurking in the ravine not far from the town of Lutan at night.

After a night of silence, Hu Kui led the sentry cavalry to constantly spy on the enemy's movements, while the army hid and rested.

In Wuyi County, Lin Chengcheng was a general, "My lord, last time, the Ming army abandoned the city and left, leaving us with an empty city, last time there were hundreds of old and weak, this time, not even a single person was seen, I think the enemy has retreated back to the mountain again." ”

Chen Jia drank rice wine, "Do you know where the enemy is hiding in the mountains?" ”

Lin Yangcheng's general bowed his head, "Humble and incompetent, the last time Lord Lin was besieged by the enemy without finding the enemy's hiding place, the villain also found a gap, and went to Jinhua Mansion to ask for help with the adult's warrant for help." ”

"Waste." Chen Jia kicked him down.

Turning his head and asking He Jin, "General He, you are the best at this business, where do you think the Ming army will hide?" ”

He Jin bowed and said: "My lord, the last general in that area has also been there, although he is not very familiar with it, but it should not be difficult to find a large army of 1,000 people." ”

Chen Jia nodded slightly, "Then tomorrow you lead the headquarters to look for the rebels first, and I will lead the headquarters to follow you," he turned around, "General Liu will lead the headquarters to stay in Wuyi County, be careful not to follow the path of the Ming army, and let the enemy open the city gate." Conquer the county seat. ”

Liu Guangbi replied, "Yes, the last general will obey the order." ”

At dawn the next day, He Jin took 2,000 people from his headquarters to Bailu Creek, and Lin Yang's department followed.

At noon, Chen Jia led 3,000 people from his headquarters to come out.

In the ravine of Lutan Town, Zhang Qiang was still training one hundred and fifty firecrackers under him.

He Jin walked with people for a morning and finally walked to the foot of the mountain, rested for an hour, and climbed the mountain under the leadership of Lin Yangsheng's general.

At night, after wandering around all afternoon, they did not find Zhang Qiang's troops, so they could only withdraw from the mountains and meet with Chen Jiabu, who had just arrived at the bottom of the mountain.

Nothing was said all night.

Seventh, Zhang Qiang continued to hide, He Jin led people to continue to climb the mountain to search, seeing that he was close to Mi Chunbu's hiding place, but the sky was dark. had to retreat and set up camp.

Chen Jiabu waited at the bottom of the mountain.

Day 8. Zhang Qiang, who had finished training, led his troops to the foot of Bailuxi Mountain.

He Jinbu continued to search in the mountains, missed Mi Chunbu's hiding place, and ran deeper into the mountains.

At noon, Zhang Qiang's troops appeared in the line of sight of Chen Jia's troops.

For a while, the Qing soldiers turned over on their backs, and the whole village was jumping, and it took a long time for Chen Jia to come out as a team.

The two sides were separated by more than a mile, arrayed.

Chen Jia glanced at Zhang Qiang's troops, the righteous army, and couldn't help but disdain, and said to the generals around him: "It's just a group of rabble." ”

The general also scoffed: "It's just a group of peasants, and the adults give me 500 soldiers and horses, and I can take it with one charge." ”

Chen Jia shook his head, "Since you can defeat Lin in an ambush and cultivate this kind of old man, and besides, there are many armored soldiers in the enemy ranks, it is better to be steady, give you a thousand troops, and get back the head of the enemy general for me." ”

"Yes, my lord."

The rumbling of war drums.

A thousand Qing army Han army banners rushed towards Zhang Qiang's military array.

"The archer took ten steps back and spread out on his left flank."

The knife player took ten steps back and spread out on the right flank.

"The pikemen took twenty steps back, and the musketeers lined up."

"The cavalry retreated fifty paces and dispersed."

Zhang Qiang continuously issued orders to the heralds around him.

The heralds galloped all the way, conveying Zhang Qiang's orders aloud to the various brigades.

"Attention firecrackers, six columns spread out horizontally in two layers."

The so-called six columns and two layers are: three columns in the front row, three columns in the back row, a distance of ten steps in the middle, the three rows in the back should be shot by the shooters standing up, and the three columns of shooters in the front row should squat, half-squat, and shoot low, so as to make room for the shooters in the back row standing on the ground relatively high. This is Zhang Qiang's original shooting method.

The three columns in the front row were the main fire output, the rear three rows protected the front three rows, and twenty paces in front of the front three rows, and ten paces in turn, and their main responsibility was to keep the fire of the three columns in the front row maintained, and in the event of the loss of the front row, to keep the fire of the entire firearm unit continuous.

These are some small lessons that Zhang Qiang learned when he played the game.

Due to the high speed of the enemy's cavalry, even if the first three rows are three-stage shots, they can't stop the surprise attack of the cavalry coming at high speed, and the shooters in the back three rows can solve the surprise attack of the enemy cavalry in front of them, and solve the threat for the front three rows.

Chen Jia looked at the Ming army troops opposite, this Ming army army did not raise even a single flag, it looked like a rabble, but why did he feel uneasy in his heart?

A thousand Qing troops rushed forward in a swarm, and the number of people on the opposite side seemed to them to be no more than half of their own, although they were wearing armor, they did not play the flag, and they held a fire gun in their hands, this kind of fire gun that could only be fired once, with some dead and wounded people, and when they rushed into their ranks, the fire gun hand lost its effectiveness and could only be slaughtered by their own side.

There were still a hundred meters away from the enemy, and many Qing archers began to release arrows, but their bows and arrows were twisted and crooked, and when they fell, none of them were pierced on the firecrackers, and they were still far away.

Rushing into eighty meters, some archers were finally able to exert their might, bows and arrows flew all over the sky, and some of the musketeers were shot by the enemy at this time, because the range was too far to inflict an effective blow on the enemy, so they could only wait.

However, it did not take long for the enemy to rush from five to seven or eight meters away.

The musketeers began to shoot in the first round.

The Qing army, which was in chaos just now, was like crashing into a wall at this moment, and a large number of people fell suddenly, at least twenty or thirty people, and more than a dozen people were injured.

But this point of casualties was a drizzle for the Qing army.

Still excitedly brandishing his weapon, he rushed towards the firecrackers, and then rushed five meters, and the second row of firecrackers fired.

Twenty or thirty more people fell to the ground, more than a dozen people were injured, and the Qing army looked at it, but so, they continued to rush, and there were many of us.

Rushing into another five or six meters, the firecrackers had already killed and injured seven or eight people, many of them had a lot of Qing arrows on their heads, and many Qing arrows fell on their bodies, because Zhang Qiang equipped them with chain mail, and there were some attached iron pieces on it to cover important parts, so they were only injured, and only some unlucky ghosts were shot to death.

The third platoon fired, a burst of smoke, and when the smoke just dispersed, the enemy had rushed close to about ten meters, but the enemy also began to hesitate, this platoon shot down, the enemy fell to the ground fifty or sixty people at once, and a dozen or so people were injured, and the others were frightened and began to hide themselves.

The enemy had already rushed to a distance of fifty meters, and could already directly threaten the life of the firecracker.
