Before nightfall, Wu Changqing ordered the soldiers who were going to take part in the night raid to rest early.

Then when it came time to be ugly, which was around three in the morning, the soldiers were woken up, white cloth strips were tied around their heads, and the whole team of torches was ready.

"Everyone, Qing Gou insulted my father's body today. This hatred is not shared by the sky. The Qing Gou massacred tens of thousands of Jiading people, and this hatred is not shared by the sky..."

Giving speeches before the war has become Wu Changqing's norm. This morale-boosting method has been proven to be effective in later generations, and he will naturally not give up using it.

"There is an old saying that a ruler humiliates his subjects to death. Now our generals are humiliated and reprimanded for the people of Jiading. Only by avenging the generals can we repay the generals' kindness."

Liu Hansan also made a message. His mentality at this time was completely different from when the Qing army first came. He found that following Wu Changqing seemed to be quite a success.

Therefore, he no longer thinks about how to escape and save his life, but wants to use his talents to climb up in this small group.

"Set off."

This time, Wu Changqing was still leading the troops in person.

This is like a boss in the early days of a business, everything needs to be hands-on. Only when the scale becomes larger and the subordinates gather talents, the boss can hide in the office and command his subordinates.

This time Wu Changqing dispatched a total of 400 people, including 100 veterans and the 300 recruits he trained.

The 400 people were commanded by Liu Hansan, Li Shaobin, Wang Dayong and Wu Changqing, and each was in charge of about 100 people.

Among them, Wu Changqing's team is all flintlock guns, and Li Shaobin's is a mixture of flintlock guns and ordinary fire guns. And Liu Hansan and Wang Dayong are cold weapons, mainly swords and guns.

The basic battle plan was that Wang Dayong would lead people to set fire to the chaos, and then Wu Changqing and Li Shaobin's firearms team would shoot and kill the formed enemy troops, while Liu Hansan's troops were on the periphery, responsible for capturing the fleeing enemy troops.

The characteristic of the whole plan is that their own firearm teams will stay together at all times and will not be separated. They do not seek to completely wipe out the enemy, but they must ensure the safety of the firearm teams.

These two fire gun teams were Wu Changqing's only cards. If these fire guns were lost, he would have nowhere to cry.

The moonlight was not bad today, and the rebels could barely advance even in the dark.

They didn't dare to light the torch, which was like telling the enemy that they were going to attack at night.

Jiading City was about three miles away from where the Qing army was stationed. This period of time was enough time for the Qing army to organize its defense.

All the way to smear, suddenly in the middle of the road, the rebels encountered several Qing troops. This shocked Wu Changqing and the Qing troops.

Fortunately, Wang Dayong, who was in front of him, responded in a timely manner, and the five Qing troops were immediately caught.

If they escaped back to the camp to report the news, then this night attack would be troublesome.

"Sir, spare your life, we are not loyal to Qinggou, we are just forced to be helpless. Today, Xue Wu insulted our ancestors, which made us despise, so we made an appointment to escape, and did not want to kill with the rebels again."

A man who seemed to be the leader shouted that he was brought in front of Wu Changqing and gave a detailed confession of why they were here.

"If that's the case, then show us the way and point out that those are barracks. If our night attack is successful, I'll leave you alone. But if you dare to play tricks, I'll let you die without all your corpses."

Wu Changqing's feelings for these soldiers are very complicated.

On the one hand, he knows that these people are by no means good people, and Tucheng must have their share. But it's hard to say how bad they are.

After all, in troubled times, the fate of soldiers is also very pitiful, and they often do not even have the right to decide their allegiance.

The superior took them to surrender, and they surrendered. The chief brought them down, and they came down.

They fight, and it is by no means for the sake of national justice and national justice. They fight as soldiers, just to make a living.

In short, even if these soldiers committed crimes, the root cause is not on them, but the fault of those in power.

Wu Changqing didn't like these soldiers, but he didn't want to massacre them to vent his anger. Even if they were willing to continue serving as soldiers, Wu Changqing would accept them.

Army rebellions are so common these days that it is impossible to tell who they are loyal to.

Don't look at Li Chengdong is now the number one clean dog, but later he became the prince of the Yongli Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty because he rebelled against the Qing court again.

This kind of chaos is only possible in a chaotic world.

"We swear our allegiance to the death and never dare to play tricks," said the leader.

This kind of oath, Wu Changqing regarded it as a fart by the other party. The number of people who fart in future generations is countless, and he has long been used to it.

Let Wang Dayong keep an eye on them, and the rebels continue to advance.

With these leading parties, they moved a little faster, and soon they touched the edge of the Qing army's camp.

Perhaps because this is the rear of the Qing army, none of them have been attacked, so the defense of the camp is very lax at this moment, and even the two soldiers on guard are asleep.

Already approaching the enemy camp, the rebels lit torches one after another, and Wang Dayong rushed in with his men to set fire to chaos. The two musket teams blocked the two main exits of the camp, while Liu Hansan was in charge of other places.

As the tents were set on fire, the soldiers who were burned screamed, and all the Qing troops woke up.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack."

The Qing army kept shouting, and those low-level officers also began to gather soldiers to prepare

Organise resistance.

At this time, the fire gun team began to fire salvos towards the crowded places.

Suddenly more screams sounded, and some Qing troops didn't even know where the enemy was until they died.

It is very difficult to succeed in a night attack, but once it is successful, the benefits are also enormous.

These Qing troops scurried like headless flies, some fled around, and some gathered to try to rush out from the avenue.

Zhang Yuqin and Xue Wu had already put on their armor, and then took their personal soldiers to prepare to escape.

They didn't even think about organizing the soldiers to fight back, because they knew it was too difficult. Unless it is the elite of the elite, after being attacked at night, the soldiers are like frightened rabbits, completely uncontrollable.

All they can control is their own soldiers.

"Brother Zhang, you and I are from the south to the north. Whether you can escape is up to God's will." Xue Wu said.

"Then I choose the south side. Brother Xue, take care."

After Zhang Yuqin finished speaking, he got on his horse and ran towards the south road with his personal soldiers. While running, he shouted his own flag, causing those who were panicked to gather at him.

By the time he rushed to the front of the Rebels' fire gun team, more than two hundred people had already gathered around him.

However, when they saw the flames that spewed out not far away, they were all desperate. These fireball teams have created a great psychological shadow on them.

They will be afraid when they meet them head-on, not to mention that they are already in tension and fear because of the attacked camp.

The fire gun team only fired one shot, and the rest of the Qing army gave up on breaking through the encirclement and fled in all directions.
