With the captured horses, the horses were loaded with supplies and the wounded, and many soldiers were also tied to the horses, pulled by the cavalry, and hurried away.

I drove fifty miles in one go, arrived at a village, and stopped as soon as it was dark.

The men were so trapped that they had to stop and camp to rest.

Because it is a village, many people live in bamboo buildings and thatched houses, and even Emperor Longwu and Zhang Qiang and others live in brick and stone mud houses.

"Go find a few doctors, treat the wounded, and then find something to eat, find some village names, give them some of the dead horse meat, and help get some broth out to replenish everyone's strength." Zhang Qiang said to Yang Yangyang.

He said to the sentinel cavalry beside him: "Go and search the surrounding area for ten miles, and return in an hour." ”

Just not far from them, over two mountain ranges, and on another mountain road, Gu Yuesheng took the simple map in his hand, and was carefully inspecting, less than five miles behind, five thousand Qing soldiers hurried up, and they were already very close to them.

Gu Yuesheng patted the map and lamented, "It would be nice if the fifty cavalrymen didn't go back." He has another fifty cavalry in his hands, and now he only has a hundred cavalry, these cavalry are all riding horses and pack horses, fighting with the Qing soldiers, and they can't be used, those inferior horses can only be used as riding horses, let them charge, I'm afraid I don't know where to run. ”

He shook his head, slapped his forehead, and then said to the few thousands of households and hundreds of households who followed him: "After a while, everyone will divide their troops at the intersection and ambush them, Jin Qi, you take your hundred households and the captive soldiers to bypass from here, and then go over the mountain, and stab me in the enemy's ass to make them messy." ”

On the map, the intersection where they are now is like the bottom of a "V" shape, and the enemy is from the right side of the "V" shape, they are going to the left, there is a big mountain in the middle, the road is here to fold, around a bend, Gu Yuesheng asked Jin Qi to go to the place is two parallel intersections, over the mountain, to attack the other side.

He could only do this, because the enemy was twice as strong as theirs.

And he didn't want to lose too many troops here, he was going to rescue Zhang Qiang and them.

At night, the battle was raging here, both sides were dispatched with cold weapon troops, fighting hard in the night, Gu Yuesheng lupine scarf, standing in the dark forest and mountains with his hands behind his back, watching the fight below, behind him, a pair of slender scholars' hands were twisted together, almost oozing blood.

The first commander of such a large-scale battle, he was also afraid. There is Tang Dianfeng in front of him, he is just the executor, although there are some commands, but he is also with soldiers to kill, although there are more enemy troops than at present, but he does not need to take responsibility, he only needs to hold, and constantly lead the troops to fight, in the end he still did not hold, had to lead people to break through and retreat, back to Pingnan County, he brought thousands of people, only a few hundred people went back, which made him very hurt, feeling that he was incapable, at this time shouldering the heavy responsibility of reinforcements, he couldn't help but not care.

"My lord, the enemy rear is in disarray," one of the horsemen ran to him and shouted to him.

Gu Yuesheng mounted his war horse and pulled out a pair of meteor hammers from his back, "Attack, the firecrackers advance." ”

"Bang bang," the fierce sound of gunfire echoed in the night sky.

Zhang Qiang, who was a few miles away, suddenly got up from the kang, hurriedly dressed neatly, put on chain mail with the help of the soldiers, and the cavalry pulled his war horse, and the whole camp was alarmed.

"What's the matter, someone," Zhang Qiang shouted.

Yang Yangyang also hurriedly ran over, he had been fighting for so long, and he was also very tired, Zhang Qiang asked him to rest first, so he was no longer on the post, and there were only some low-level hundreds of households on duty.

"My lord, there are people fighting nearby."

Yang Yangyang Road.

Zhang Qiang ignored him and shouted, "What about the sentry? ”

After a while, the hundred households of the sentinel came back, "My lord, don't blame the villain, those people came back and said that there was no movement within a radius of ten miles, so the villain let them go down to rest." ”

Zhang Qiang said angrily: "Probe again, right away." ”

As the gunfire became more and more intense, Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army had all been assembled, and many people were packing up their things and preparing to transfer.

The Sentinel Cavalry had all been scattered, and in less than a quarter of an hour the Sentinel Cavalry had returned from a distance.

"Report, my lord, there is a group of our troops in the mountain pass in front of us who are exchanging fire with the enemy, we have already taken a fork in the road, we need to turn back ten miles, and then go south again, before we can turn to the right road, and that army is engaged with the Qing soldiers at the turn of the right road."

"The whole army is out and hastened forward." Zhang Qiang shouted.

In an hour, Zhang Qiang's troops finally approached the battlefield where the two sides were fighting, and were discovered by some Jinhua rebels scattered here.

After understanding the situation, Zhang Qiang said to Yang Yangyang: "Go and lead the cavalry to assault the enemy,"

More than 200 remaining cavalry, plus Zhang Qiang's remaining 20 chasseurs, gathered enough 300 cavalry, and under the guidance of the reinforcements of the Jinhua Righteous Army, they were put into the battlefield.

It completely reversed Gu Yuesheng's precarious battlefield situation.

In the dark night, the performance of the firecrackers was not good, holding the fire rope, like a torch in the night, the Qing soldiers who were hiding in the shadows lightly shot a fatal arrow from the darkness, causing damage to many of the firecrackers.

But when the 300 cavalry appeared on the official road, the Qing soldiers were in chaos and threw down their weapons and fled.

The hunt began at midnight and lasted until dawn the next day.

At dawn the next day, Fan Shaozu had already set out with 10,000 infantry and 900 Portuguese musketers.

See from God's point of view.

The Jinhua Righteous Army, which had defeated the 5,000 Qing army, converged, and after cleaning up the battlefield, marched towards Pingnan County with the captives.

The arrows and speed of the two sides are highly consistent, and they will definitely meet in a village only five miles away from the county seat of Pingnan.

This time he defeated the 5,000 infantry of the Qing army, and it was Gu Yuesheng's quick decision to say that it was better, but it was not good because the generals of the Qing army were too incompetent, if it weren't for the superiority of troops, I am afraid they would have been defeated by Gu Yuesheng's 1,000 elite firearms.

Gu Yuesheng pointed to the Qing generals who were tied up and thrown on their horses, "My lord, this person was originally the Duke of Yue Guo, who was canonized by Lu Jianguo, and later took refuge in Zhu Yihai, Lu Jianguo, the Qing army attacked eastern Zhejiang, and the King of Lu sent him to meet the enemy, but he surrendered without a fight." ”

"What's his name?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Fang Anguo."

Zhang Qiang said in disgust: "Drag it down and cut it." ”

"My lord, the lower officials are also forced to be helpless, the Qing army is strong, the momentum has been achieved, and the Ming Dynasty has no possibility of turning over, my lord, it can't be like this, it is true to find a way back for yourself as soon as possible."

Fang Anguo struggled, but he didn't know whether to persuade or justify, Zhang Qiang waved his hand, and four other soldiers joined, held him down at once, sealed his mouth, and then dragged him to the side of the road, and separated his body with a knife.

Ruan Jie was not far away, and he couldn't help but tremble when he looked at it.

Don't turn your head and don't dare to look again.

"Speed up." Zhang Qiang shouted.

The team began to move faster.

In this battle, 2,000 stones of grain and grass, 300 horses, 200 pack horses, 25 carts, 300 wheelbarrows, more than 1,000 people were captured and requisitioned, and all the things captured by Zhang Qiang in the two battles were transported.

But the bad thing is that there are no weapons such as firecrackers, and most of the Qing and Ming soldiers don't like the kind of chicken rib weapons that can only fire one shot and then have to enter hand-to-hand combat.

Nowadays, Zhang Qiang has 900 firecrackers, killed 200 firecrackers last night, and slightly injured more than 100 people, but Zhang Qiang's firecrackers are treated too well, wearing the Ming army's hat helmet, wearing chain mail, and waist knives, which can fight from afar or in close combat, and are still trained elite soldiers, so the combat effectiveness is still very good.

Even if some people were lost because of the darkness of the night, the others were only slightly injured.

However, the losses of the cold weapons troops were relatively heavy, after all, the enemy had an advantage in troops.

Of the 1,500 men, more than 500 were killed, more than 300 were wounded, and more than 300 fled. At present, there are only about 400 people left.

This time, Zhang Qiang's troops are limited, and they are only 2,000 people.

Five hundred men were drawn to guard the captives, horses, baggage, and people, and there were only 1,400 men who could fight.

It was divided into two armies, the cavalry was led by Yang Yangyang, but there were only 550 people, and the infantry was led by Gu Yuesheng, but 850 people.

The cavalry all changed their horses, and the wounded and inferior horses were sent to the consignment.
