Seeing that Zhang Qiang's front army moved, Lian was still annoyed by his mistake just now, and Ruan Dacheng, who had lost more than 100 cavalry in the Mongolian cavalry, was overjoyed, you beat me just now, and it was time for me to beat you this time.

"Order, archers march forward, and firecrackers attack." Ruan Dacheng shouted at his herald.

A thousand archers rushed out of the great formation, and under the leadership of their leading generals, they ran forward and sealed the bridge.

A thousand firearms soldiers lined up behind them, raising the firearms in their hands, the firearms soldiers in the Qing army are all from the Han army flag, everyone knows, since Kong Youde, Geng Jingzhong descended to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing army's firearms troops have reached a higher level, most of the Qing army has firearms troops, not just infantry, archers, cavalry, although the cavalry is the main force, but the firearms can also occupy a place, and from time to time can make contributions.

On the side of the rebels, two hundred sword players followed by two hundred musketeers rushed to the bridgehead and slowly advanced to the opposite bank, and eight cannons kept bombarding the Qing army on the opposite bank.

The Qing archers and musketeers were scattered by the cannons, the bows and arrows fired were crooked, and the bullets were flying everywhere, except for some unlucky sword and musketeers, the troops who rushed to the bridgehead did not suffer many casualties, the only thing that caused them trouble was the corpses of the Mongol cavalry they had killed earlier, which made their formations scattered.

The firecrackers had to stop, and under the cover of the sword hand's shield, they cleaned up the corpses first and threw them all into the Wujiang River.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they rushed to the other side of the river, and were immediately surrounded by the infantry of the Qing army, the sword players fought hard, the musketeers continued to kill and wound the enemy archers and musketeers from both sides, and the artillery on the opposite bank kept bombarding the Qing army, and a steady stream of soldiers rushed to the bridgehead to support the opposite bank.

The corpses of both sides almost blocked the bridgehead, an hour later, after losing more than 300 soldiers, Zhang Qiang's knife and card player troops finally opened up a bridgehead less than 30 meters long and 20 meters wide at the bridgehead on the opposite bank, Xuanyuan Longfei's spear team ran forward, rushed to the opposite bank, and continued to expand the bridgehead, Hu Kui's knife and card players were almost killed and wounded, and the archers also joined in hand-to-hand combat, and after half an hour, the Qing army was crowded at a hundred meters, oppressed by Zhang Qiang's troops, and finally opened up a front one hundred meters wide, Mi Chun's crossbow bolts lined up in the river on both sides of the river, supporting the battle ahead.

Zhang Qiang's musketeers suffered two hundred casualties, and finally four hundred people stood behind the pikemen and sword players, with the continuous investment of Wei Wuji's rebel troops, the bridgehead position continued to expand, and the deaths on both sides continued to rise, Zhang Qiang's troops finally all reached the opposite bank, and fought against the water, besieged by the Qing army, the front of the battlefield was a mile wide and the two sides did not give in to each other, and fought hard.

When the artillery crossed the river bank and bombarded the Qing army, the Qing army had to hold back again, and sent the Mongolian cavalry and the Ming cavalry to assault the frontal position of Zhang Qiang's troops.

As soon as the enemy retreated, Zhang Qiang's firecrackers exerted their might, and the Mongolian cavalry and Ming cavalry suffered heavy losses, and even the 30-meter frontage of Zhang Qiang's troops could not be approached before they fell off their horses.

Left and right are protected by sword players and infantry of the rebels, frontal archers, crossbowmen, firecrackers, and even artillery firing continuously, and the Qing army found that the rebels are like a hedgehog with thorns all over their bodies, with nowhere to start, and their hands will inevitably be pierced.

Oppression, oppression, and oppression, long-range soldiers and Qing troops shoot, although the Qing army was numerous, but in the face of the well-disciplined Zhang Qiang's rebel troops, in the face of huge casualties, morale dropped rapidly, the ranks became scattered, retreating again and again, and were pressed and beaten by Zhang Qiang's rebel troops.

Hold on until the afternoon when it was slightly dark, when Zhang Qiang threw the two wings of the rebel soldiers under the command of Wei Wuji to attack the enemy, the enemy could no longer hold on, and broke down one after another, turned around and fled.

"Cavalry attack" Zhang Qiang pulled out his waist knife and swung it hard.

The cavalry flashed out from behind Zhang Qiang, watched the battle for an afternoon, couldn't hold it back for a long time, let out a shout, and rushed out in waves.

There was no suspense in the battle, and thousands of rebels chased thousands of collapsed Qing soldiers and slaughtered in all directions.

Zhang Qiang also led thirty cavalry guards, galloped on the battlefield, killed a lot of Qing soldiers, his target was Ruan Dacheng, Ruan Dacheng had already fled with his own soldiers when the army collapsed, Zhang Qiang struggled to catch up.

When it got dark, he finally caught up with Ruan Dacheng in a village, Ruan Dacheng only had a few family members around him, Zhang Qiang took the musket from the cavalry next to him, and fired a shot from a distance, Ruan Dacheng fell to the ground in response, and the cavalry rushed up and slashed his last few family members a few times, and brought the wounded Ruan Dacheng to Zhang Qiang.

"My lord, I am willing to surrender," Ruan Dacheng shouted in a trembling voice with a cold sweat all over his body.

"Really? And then you come back and slaughter the people of Jinhua? Zhang Qiang said coldly.

"My lord, this is a war between the two countries, these people are unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, I am also forced to do so, if you want the new dynasty to be stable, you have to kill those who oppose it, this is the best way."

Ruan Dacheng was obviously seriously injured, Zhang Qiang's shot hit him directly in the back, he was a civil official, and he usually didn't wear armor, so he fled in a hurry at this time, and he didn't have time to wear it, and wearing it also affected his mobility, he had already thrown away everything he could throw away, just to run faster, at this time, he could only bear the pain caused by lead bullets.

Zhang Qiang snorted coldly, "The two countries are fighting, and the people are not guilty, besides, you are still a Ming person, can't you have pity, isn't your ancestor a Ming person?" Don't you have any mercy at all? ”

Ruan Dacheng coughed a few times and coughed up a mouthful of blood, "My lord, where does the armor on those soldiers and the food in their mouths come from, the people, where do the taxes of the imperial court come from, the people, killing and injuring the people of the enemy country is to destroy the war potential of the enemy army, for those people who surrender, they are the source of taxes for the Qing Dynasty, and they can support the war of the Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty, those people who refuse to surrender are the foundation of the enemy, if you don't dig up the enemy's foundation, how can you defeat the enemy?" ”

Zhang Qiang felt that what Ruan Dacheng said was very reasonable, why the Japanese killed so extravagantly in later generations, and why the Americans killed the Indians, it was all because they wanted to weaken the enemy's war potential, as long as the enemy's war potential was reduced little by little, so that the enemy's troops, taxes, etc. were cut off, or there were fewer and fewer, then even if the enemy was undefeated and seemed to be strong, it would definitely not be able to support it for long.

The reason why Kutuzov was able to defeat Napoleon, in addition to the cold and inferior roads of Russia, and the tactics he used to lure the enemy deep and clear the wilderness, have many similarities, but the direction is different.

Zhang Qiang looked at Ruan Dacheng, Zhu Dadian did a stupid thing, because of the affection of his classmates, and finally relented and let him go, and he couldn't do this kind of thing, why did he catch the enemy generals, Liu Liangzuo, Ma Bao and others, and didn't let go, or killed, it was because he wanted to recruit these people under his command and expand his team of generals, but if they were stubborn, then he had to kill them, and he would not let them go back and bring troops to kill him.

Seeing that Zhang Qiang didn't speak, Ruan Dacheng was overjoyed, and if there was a play, he immediately struck while the iron was hot, "My lord, I am useful to you, my lord, I am willing to surrender." ”

Zhang Qiang looked at him for a while and said with a smile: "Your sins are too deep, I can't explain to the people of the Ming Dynasty, I can't explain to my ancestors, so I ......." ”
