After introducing Zhang Qiang's situation, Fan Shaozu said to the generals under the account: "Generals, how do you think you can win this battle?" ”

The generals stood up one after another, stirred up the words, a crusade, contempt, contempt, after arranging the troops to say something, I felt that there was one who would win, in short, no one felt that Zhang Qiang had any ability, and it was possible to win the Qing army under the army of 60,000.

was said by the generals, Fan Shaozu also felt that Zhang Qiang had nothing, if the previous victory was that Zhang Qiang was too strong, it means that Ruan Dacheng was incompetent, Li Chengdong did not fight Zhang Qiang directly, and was frightened by Ruan Dacheng's defeat.

And Bolo's defeat was because there were too many Ming troops in the army, and Zhu Dadian in the city was too powerful, after all, Zhu Dadian still had the combat experience of defeating the peasant army in the past, and even defeating the invasion of the Portuguese, and fighting against the Qing army.

After some consideration, Fan Shaozu said: "Tomorrow to fight, 40,000 troops, 10,000 troops to attack the camp of the righteous army, 10,000 troops to attack the camp of the Jinhua Yi army in the southwest, and the other 20,000 troops to attack the camp of the Jinhua Yi army, and the rest of the soldiers and horses, mainly containment, as long as our army defeats the enemy's army, the rest of the army will be destroyed in an instant, or flee, or surrender, go down and prepare." ”

The next day, when Zhang Qiang was still sleeping, he heard the gongs and drums outside in unison, the noise was abnormal, and he couldn't help but be nervous, and hurriedly came out.

Climb the arrow tower and look south.

almost frightened him down, the dense Qing army in the south, a crowd of red, gray-brown, and green people, came towards his camp in a mighty way.

"Beat the drums, gather the troops." Zhang Qiang immediately shouted at the pro-soldiers below.

After a little more observation, the enemy had already spread over the mountains, and was less than two miles from his camp.

Zhang Qiang thought for a while.

Xuanyuan Long flew to the bottom of the arrow tower and hurriedly climbed up, "What should I do, adult?" The enemy army is coming. ”

Zhang Qiang twisted his neck, looked at the sky, there were no clouds, the cold wind was blowing, and occasionally one or two snowflakes fell from the top of the arrow tower, sighed, and said categorically: "Decisive battle, send troops." ”

Xuanyuan Longfei looked at Zhang Qiang with his mouth wide open, he was joking.

He only has 3,000 troops under his command, 2,000 troops, plus some people, prisoners, and can't hold the stockade, how can he send troops?

Zhang Qiang seemed to see through his thoughts, "You go back and prepare to stick to the camp, I will lead the troops to attack, if I am defeated, you will lead the troops to flee back to Xianju County, lead the Du Ge Department, withdraw to Wuyi County, Jinhua Prefecture, and prepare to hold on." ”

"What about you, my lord?" Xuanyuan Longfei asked worriedly.

"Hehe, I won't be caught, I will go back to Xin'an County, and then go back to Yongkang County to hold on, if not, let's withdraw to Jinhua County, Jinhua Prefecture, and hold on."

"This,"

"Go ahead, it's a matter of success or failure."

As soon as Xuanyuan Longfei left, a few war horses came from the camp of the rebels, and they also went straight to the place where Zhang Qiang was.

"The leader of the Linhai Righteous Army, Chen Hanhui visited the Metropolitan Governor." The person who came was wearing a mountain armor and a Ming army helmet, and bowed down when he saw Zhang Qiang.

Chen Hanhui had already been exterminated by Fan Shaozu, and the time was not far away, between October and November of 1646 last year, he should have died in history, but here, due to Zhang Qiang's crossing, he was saved by loyal subordinates.

Later, he hid in the mountains, once disheartened, when Zhang Qiang entered the Taizhou Mansion, he gathered a gang of bandits from the mountains, recalled the old department, and fought out.

In the east of Linhai County with the Qing army to hide and seek, Zhang Qiang's army and the Qing army when the confrontation, he took the righteous army to be the first to come to Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang was named the commander of the Linhai righteous army, although the righteous army joined later was unhappy, but because he had Zhang Qiang's support, so he had to call him the big leader on the surface, at this moment he led the righteous army to garrison the righteous army camp, and Zhang Qiang's two camps echoed, and the Qing army.

"General Chen, at this time, I am going to have a decisive battle with the enemy's Chinese army, you lead the righteous army to stick to the camp, no attack, if I lose, I can flee, if I win, your troops take the opportunity to attack, completely destroy the main force of the Qing army."

Zhang Qiang said to Chen Hanhui seriously.

"My lord, you are too risky, it is better to stick to the camp, defend with the geographical advantage, and then ask for help from King Lu and Emperor Longwu, in the sea islands, there are still rebels and the army of the imperial court are resisting, begging them to attack the rear of the enemy army and suppress it for me." Chen Hanhui said.

"No," Zhang Qiang replied categorically.

"My lord, we can't go our own way, our righteous army has suffered many losses, we can't fight hard with the enemy, we have to attack from the enemy's weak point, now the situation, we can only retreat and avoid its sharpness, and when the enemy retreats, we will make a comeback," Chen Hanhui persuaded bitterly.

"I've made up my mind, no need to say it again, Commander Chen, take care." Zhang Qiang waved his hand after speaking.

Chen Hanhui took a step back, then took a step back, took another step back, and suddenly seemed to see through everything, slapped his thigh hard, and let out a long sigh: "Alas-" Then he turned around and left, and several Ming cavalry ran out of Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army camp, bypassing the approaching Qing army brigade, and rushed into the righteous army camp before the enemy formed an encirclement of the righteous army camp.

In the camp of the Jinhua Righteous Army, the war drums have never stopped.

The sound of "all of them" is non-stop, and it is becoming more and more urgent.

In all corners of the Jinhua Volunteer Army camp, on their clothes, shields, and armor, there were a slanted blue slash on the lower waist from left to right, with a palm-wide blue slash.

It was gradually gathering together, and then converging into streams, flowing to the various idle places in the camp, turning into small rectangular teams, and these small rectangular teams, with a burst of shouting, flowed again to the various defensive points of the camp.

Amid the shouts of the herald cavalry, more rebels ran out of the barracks, converged into a large square in the main square, and then separated again, and the cavalry column rushed out of the camp first, and at once dispersed, in the form of small squads, into the vast mountains in front of the whole camp.

Then one by one, the troops rushed out from the gate of the camp, and quickly formed a battle formation and a battle phalanx.

The Qing army on the opposite side had already been confused by their abnormal movements, and temporarily stopped to wait for them to line up and form a battle formation.

When Zhang Qiang took the one hundred and fifty chasers around him, like the last stream of water poured into a bottle, to the rear of the entire battle array, on a mountain range, his general flag, a red swallowtail flag, separated by a blue slash in the middle, fluttering over the battlefield, the war drums suddenly stopped.

The entire battlefield was silent.

It was as if a 10,000-kilowatt motor suddenly ran out of power, and the huge roar suddenly disappeared from the ears of the accustomed electromechanical workers, and everyone felt a sense of loss and discomfort.

It's as if something has been sucked out of the body.
