Chapter 437: Suspicion is a seed that grows when it sees the wind

In Ke Yongsheng's heart, as long as this kind of speculation appears, it will continue to strengthen as the difficulty of the battle situation rises.

Until the final collapse of the defense line in his heart, Ke Yongsheng came to a conclusion, that is, Jin Shenghuan wanted to kill people with a knife.

borrowed Wu Zheng's knife and destroyed himself, and then the Qing army in Shaoxing Mansion was the only one who wanted his life.

Jin Shenghuan led his troops to reinforce Shaoxing Mansion, and there were two armies in the department, which were clearly distinguished, that is, Ke Yongsheng's Eight Banners Army and Jin Shenghuan's own descendants, including Wang Deren's department.

Although this army has Jin Shenghuan as the main commander, it has the constraints of its own Eight Banners Army and has always been feared by Jin Shenghuan.

If...... If his own army is greatly damaged or even destroyed in Guali, then this army will completely fall under the control of Jin Shenghuan.

This speculation is like a seed that grows when it sees the wind, and it grows rapidly in Ke Yongsheng's heart.

Finally, Ke Yongsheng couldn't bear it anymore, and he quickly ordered the whole army to withdraw to Shaoxing Mansion.

The battle ended very suddenly, and the Ming soldiers no longer even had the strength to cheer.

The moment they fell to the ground, looking at the stump of the corpse close at hand, there was only a trace of sourness in the nose, reminding them that they were still alive.

It was a pyrrhic victory, not a victory.

Zhou Dahu commanded 5,000 people, and by the end of the battle, counting the wounded soldiers, less than half of them were counted.

The casualties of the corpses and wounded soldiers left by the Qing army were slightly lower than those of the Ming army.

However, Guali was really occupied by the Ming army, and the door to Shaoxing Mansion was opened, and there was no need to block it on the official road.

……。

In this battle, the smoothest thing was to launch a surprise attack from Lihai to the peripheral Qing army.

It's just that there are more than 20,000 Qing troops besieging the outside world.

These more than 20,000 people are the more than 20,000 Qing troops that Fang Guoan had left behind in Shaoxing Mansion and deployed by Duoduo.

Now it is deployed by Jin Shenghuan in the Liwai Waiwai.

Jin Shenghuan's intention is also very clear, as long as the sea support of Kailihai is isolated, then the Qing army in Shaoxing Prefecture can do whatever it wants with local superior forces.

But the defense of Lihai City is strong and cannot be broken for a while, so it can be isolated to achieve the same purpose.

Therefore, after the Qing army besieging Lihai carried out a limited tentative attack on Lihai, it has always taken a defensive position.

The purpose is clear, naturally there will not be too much suspense, and according to the temporary fortifications, there is more than enough resistance and resistance.

Even if Li Ruhai and Lu Zhiyu were combined into one, and the two of them were the first, they would not be able to break through the encirclement of the Qing army in a short time.

This battle lasted the longest, and the two sides suffered the lowest losses, but the scene was the largest.

The two sides mobilized 30,000 or 40,000 troops to fight on the Lihai beach for a whole day.

……。

Fang Guoan had a feeling of dying.

But he didn't have a choice.

Since he chose to betray the Qing court, the only one who can take him in at the moment is the Qingtai Dynasty.

Choosing to surrender at this time, Fang Guoan was also carefully considered and measured.

The icing on the cake is at most just to join in the fun, but it will be remembered for a lifetime.

It is for this reason that Fang Guoan resolutely decided to rebel at this time.

But he really didn't expect that Wu Zheng would let him lead his troops to raid Shaoxing Mansion.

This is to send death, Shaoxing Mansion is garrisoned by Jin Shenghuan, and there are 8,000 Tartar elites.

Not to mention that Fang Guoan himself has less than 5,000 people, even if it doubles and there are 10,000 people, he will not be able to gnaw at Shaoxing Mansion.

Not to mention, when King Lu was in charge of the country, as the temporary capital, Shaoxing City had been repaired as necessary.

Can Fang Guoan refuse?

No.

Since there is no interest in staying under the banner of the Qing court any longer, then this petition must be handed over.

If you don't pay it, you can't do it, otherwise how can you stand on top of the court and talk to your old colleagues?

In fact, Fang Guoan was a little grateful to Wu Zheng for giving him this opportunity.

The more ruthless this battle is, the greater his credit, leading the troops for many years and holding a high position for a long time, if Fang Guoan can't even think of this, then his age is equivalent to living on a dog.

With this understanding, Fang Guoan's deployment seems to be organized, as smooth as flowing water.

He didn't divide his troops, originally according to Wu Zheng's explanation, what he needed was to drag the garrison of Shaoxing Mansion and not let the Qing army go out of the city to reinforce in three directions, Fang Guoan would make a great contribution and complete the task.

Therefore, although it is dangerous, it is not enough to kill Fang Guoan, which Fang Guoan knows.

But Fang Guoan also has some small Jiujiu in his heart, and dividing his troops to feint and attack the gate of Shaoxing Mansion can indeed make the Qing army in the city disperse and mobilize chaotically, so as to contain them.

But in the end, it was still broken by each one.

In the absence of cavalry and reinforcements, once a feint is launched, in the condescending view of the city, it is very difficult for one's own troops to retreat, unless there is a rear army to rely on, which plays the role of pressing the formation and the rear of the palace.

But obviously, Fang Guoan did not have the extra troops to deploy the rear army, and once the rear army was deployed, the already stretched strength would be even thinner, and it would not be able to attract the attention of the Qing army in the city.

Therefore, Fang Guoan made up his mind, since his descendant army is destined to be destroyed under the city of Shaoxing, why not let this battle be more tragic, so as to add some proud military merits and voice to his future in the court?

To put it simply, that is, to use the blood and lives of soldiers to stain his already miserable white face.

Fang Guoan made a desperate bet, and under the city of Shaoxing, he gave the order for the whole army to storm the city of Shaoxing.

There are no equipment, no artillery, even the ladders are now tied up on the marching road, and the only thing that the soldiers can provide cover for their siege is the door panels that the houses along the road are hard to tear down, and they only use their flesh and blood to launch a fierce attack on the west gate of Shaoxing City.

……。

Jin Shenghuan heard that Fang Guoan was about to rebel, and he was surprised, but he was not completely surprised.

After the Ming Dynasty descended to the Qing Dynasty, it was not surprising that I heard a lot.

Fang Guoan's hands were not stained with much blood of the Ming army, which was more conducive to him swaying from side to side.

This is also one of the main reasons why Duoduo and the Qing court are not very worried about Fang Guoan, and want to empty Fang Guoan's military power.

In other words, like Li Chengdong and Jin Shenghuan, the trust of the Qing court is much higher, because the blood of the Ming people in their hands can almost converge into a river.

Killing, killing the other party, the more you can prove loyalty, this, in troubled times, is the simplest and most effective way to win trust of self-proof.

But Jin Shenghuan didn't panic at all, he knew exactly how many soldiers Fang Guoan had and what his combat effectiveness was.

If Fang Guoan really broke through Shaoxing City, then he Jin Shenghuan should find a gutter, then jump down and drown himself.

But Jin Shenghuan was still a little surprised.

What surprised him was that Fang Guoan would actually make a desperate bet, when did this rebel general actually have blood and start working hard?
