"I am Sun Guanghan, the deputy chief soldier of Quanzhou."

"Sun Guanghan, deputy chief soldier of Quanzhou?" Su Yan looked at the man and said, "You are the Qing general Sun Guanghan who suppressed the Anxi Uprising in the first year of Yongli?" ”

"That's right." Sun Guanghan raised his head and met Su Yan's gaze, knowing that he probably had no way to live, so he wanted to be the strongest king before he died, and angrily reprimanded: "I entered the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty, and the destiny of heaven returned, and the foolish people bathed in the grace of heaven, and instead of being grateful, they gathered people to rebel and rebel against the king, and I was ordered by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to suppress the rebels and other chaotic people!" ”

Su Yan listened to his "impassioned" words, laughed instead of anger, and said: "You are also a rebel general who rebelled against the Ming and Qing Dynasty, and pretending to be righteous here is nothing more than wanting to make a name for himself before he dies, which is really ridiculous." ”

After a pause, he squinted his eyes and looked at the expression on Sun Guanghan's face, and said, "Come on, drag him down for interrogation, and pry out everything he knows." ”

"Yes!"

The two soldiers who escorted him in clenched their fists in agreement, then set Sun Guanghan up, and despite the latter's desperate struggle, forcibly dragged him out of the tent.

Chen Shenggui watched Sun Guanghan being dragged down with pity, retracted his gaze, and said to Su Yan: "General, the puppet Fujian governor Tong Guoqi is retreating, are we going to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Anxi and Nan'an?" ”

"There's no hurry." Su Yan waved his hand and said, "Our troops are still insufficient, and this victory, the efficacy and terrain of Bashu occupy a large part of the factors. ”

Seeing that Su Yan was not in a hurry to expand his territory, although Chen Shenggui felt a little confused, he did not continue to persuade him.

At this moment, Lin Xingzhu and Chen Ying opened the curtain together and walked in, their faces were also full of joy, especially Chen Ying, who was holding a book in the shape of an account book, and said loudly as soon as he came in:

"General, a bumper harvest, all the captured booty has been registered, please take a look."

After speaking, he put the book on the table in front of Su Yan, Su Yan picked up the book and looked at it, and when he finished reading and put it down, his face was a little more happy.

In this battle, they killed a total of 843 Qing troops, which did not include the casualties caused by artillery, because most of the Qing troops killed by artillery were torn apart, and some people fell into the river and drowned.

More than 800 Qing soldiers were killed, and Su Yan's side also lost nearly 300 people, a small number of whom were shot by Qing army's bird gunners and archers during the charge, and more casualties occurred in hand-to-hand combat.

Counting the ordnance, grain and grass rescued by Lin Xingzhu, they captured a total of 838 pieces of cloth armor in this battle, of which 51 were seriously damaged and could not be repaired, 770 pieces of cotton armor, 34 pieces of which were seriously damaged, and 1,138 pieces of armor and cloth clothing.

In addition, there were 1,300 waist knives, 800 spears, 700 bird guns, of which 88 were seriously damaged, 350 military bows, 1,600 arrow clusters, and 6 barrels of gunpowder, and it is estimated that all gunpowder added up to 360 hundreds, that is, 27,000 catties.

It is worth mentioning that the six barrels of gunpowder were supposed to be set on fire by the Qing army before retreating, but the Qing army in charge of igniting the gunpowder also ignited and exploded violently, involving them together, so there was no place to ignite the gunpowder, which cheapened Su Yan.

Among the 2,000 Qing troops who crossed the north bank of the river, there were 701 people who chose to surrender, and Su Yan originally wanted to redo the old tricks to absorb them all, but these soldiers were still in a trance, and everyone had a foul smell on their bodies, so Su Yan asked them to be escorted to the side of the river to wash their bodies.

At the same time, he did not forget the Qing army retreating south and Lai Xun who fought against the Xianyou Qing army alone, and after sending a large number of scouts to explore the movements of the Qing army, he sent messengers to Baijian Pass to know how the war situation was developing there.

……

The first is the Qing army's side.

After retreating from Qiangxi, Tong Guoqi did not choose to completely withdraw to the Qing occupation area, or he was unwilling to return with such a defeat, so he retreated to Xianjia Village, cut down the surrounding trees, and built Xianjia Village into a new Qing army camp.

Retreating into Xianjia Village, Tong Guoqi immediately ordered someone to draw a bucket of water from the well in the village to clean the filth on his body, not only him, but also the generals who withdrew with him also rushed to salvage the well water to clean themselves.

The other thousands of Qing soldiers also wanted to clean it, but there was only one well, so they could only run to the surrounding creek and spring to barely wash away the filth from their lower bodies.

After the spies sent by Su Yan came back, they also gave him good news - although the Qing army that retreated to Xianjia Village had only more than 4,000 troops left, almost twice the strength of the righteous army, their morale was low and everyone was tired.

On Su Yan's side, he had just experienced a victory, his morale was high, and he had captured a large number of armor weapons, so he had the idea of pursuing the victory and fighting a decisive battle with the Qing army in Xianjia Village.

After he said this idea, he was strongly supported by Lin Xingzhu and Chen Shenggui.

After successive battles, the confidence of the two became more and more inflated, even if the number of Qing troops was doubled, they dared to have the confidence to fight with them.

Coincidentally, what Su Yan wanted to see most was that his subordinates had the confidence to defeat the Qing army, after all, since the Qing army entered the customs, there were many victories on the way south, and the Ming army from all walks of life almost fled, in this context, it is easy to give people a desperate illusion that the Qing army is invincible.

So, after repairing for a night, Su Yan transferred the two groups of militia stationed in Yongchun County to the original Qing army camp, and let them be responsible for guarding the 700 surrendered soldiers, while he led the army with all the captured armor to the south and marched towards Xianjia Village.

Almost not long after Su Yan's side was dispatched, Tong Guoqi's side quickly received the news of the spies' report, and he didn't care about cursing Su Yan, and gathered the army to meet the enemy with his back to Xianjia Village.

At the same time, he also learned the lesson of the previous two days, and before the arrival of the rebel army, he ordered Wu Jian, the commander of Anxi Qian, and Wu Zhong, the guerrilla army, to lead 500 soldiers and horses each to occupy the commanding heights of the mountains and forests on both sides of Xianjia Village, so as to prevent the rebel artillery from establishing artillery positions on high places and bombarding the main formation from a high position.

It wasn't until the fourth quarter that Su Yan's army finally appeared on the distant horizon, and after entering the battlefield, they did not immediately attack, but observed the terrain on the spot.

Although it is impossible to judge how many Qing troops there are from the number of flags, Su Yan judged according to the size of the Qing army that appeared on the frontal battlefield, and the Qing army on both sides will definitely not exceed 1,000 people.
