Boluo defeated Li Zicheng, Pinghenan, broke Tongguan, and took Xi'an, and after that, he successively conquered Changzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Kejiaxing, Wujiang, and broke the army of Wu Yi of the Ming Dynasty and captured Jiangyin.

Receiving the post of general of Pingnan with merit can be described as infinitely beautiful.

But not long ago, he and his commander Duoduo suffered Waterloo in Hangzhou, and among the 60,000 troops, 50,000 Ming troops rebelled, so that Duoduo had to choose to retreat and advance.

As a result, the Qing court almost lost control of Hangzhou and the number of prefectures to the north.

The imperial court has arrived, and the pressure on Duoduo is very heavy, and he can't afford to fail again, and if he suffers another major loss or defeat, Duoduo and himself may have to return to Beijing to report on their work.

Therefore, Bolo understands what Duoduo is worried about now, it is the best result to be able to go down without a fight, and if he really wants to die, even if he wins, I am afraid that in the eyes of the imperial court, it will be a failure.

Because of the 30,000 troops led by Duoduo, only 6,000 were Duoduo's descendants, and the rest of the men and horses were seconded from Kong Youde's southern army that was supposed to attack Fujian.

If the damage is serious, it will affect the strategic goal of attacking Fujian, and even Duoduo cannot afford this responsibility.

Stationed at the north gate, trapping the defenders of the post pavilion, and then forcing them to surrender, Bolo did not think that Dordor was wrong.

But the world is unpredictable, and there will always be some coincidences.

No book is written without coincidence.

Just when Bolo led the cavalry to the north gate, he saw a Ming army coming in the direction of the west gate from a distance.

There are three gates in the post pavilion, south, north and west, and the east faces the White Horse Lake, and there is no door and no road.

The one that connects Shangyu Guandao is the West Gate.

The army that came was the last 2,000 guards of Shaoxing Mansion led by Zhu Yihai, Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule and others.

But this army was by no means more than 2,000 men, but seven or eight thousand.

Among them, five or six thousand people are the elite people who Qian Sule and others have just recruited in the counties of Shaoxing Prefecture these days.

The post pavilion is too small, the city wall is too short, and the interval of several miles can clearly see the scene of the west gate from the north gate.

After discovering the Ming reinforcements, Bolo instinctively ordered the cavalry to snipe the Ming reinforcements.

The two sides met unexpectedly, and an encounter broke out a few miles west of the post pavilion pass.

It is said that it was an encounter because these seven or eight thousand Ming troops did not collapse at the slightest touch.

On the contrary, he played with a clear eye.

This is strange, when did the combat power of the Ming army become so strong, how could seven or eight thousand infantry, most of which were newly recruited people, be able to resist the Eight Banners cavalry led by Bolo?

Even if it is the elite of the seven or eight thousand Ming army, I am afraid that under the assault of the five thousand elite cavalry, it will only be defeated.

But in fact, the Ming army did block the Boluo cavalry, not only blocked, but also fought well in advance and retreat, both offensive and defensive.

Zhang Guowei, the word jade, a native of Dongyang, a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse.

In the first year of Chongzhen, he was promoted to the Criminal Division.

Seven years of promotion to the right of the imperial history, governor Yingtian, Anqing and other ten prefectures.

In the summer of the fourteenth year, the right attendant of the Ministry of Reform and the four towns of Huai, Xu, Lin, and Tong were also supervised to protect the Cao Yun.

Zhang Guowei was generous and won the hearts of the scholars at that time.

Although he was born as a literati, he was at the head of the national crisis, and he also had ten years of experience leading troops.

The key is that although Zhang Guowei is easy-going, the bottom line has never been touched.

Previously, when Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, was in charge of the country, the Duke of Yue Guoan rebelled against the Qing court and led the army to attack Shaoxing Mansion.

When Zhang Guowei heard about it, he went home and summoned his second son to ask him about his attitude towards life and death, and the eldest son Zhang Shifeng said that he would never steal his life, and the second son Zhang Shipeng responded a little slowly, and Zhang Guowei threw him with a stone inkstone.

Zhang Shipeng cried right, "Calmly and generously, my children are as happy as they are, but my grandmother is eighty years old...... ”

After Zhang Guowei heard this, he dressed up at night, said goodbye to his mother, calmly endowed the three chapters of the "Book of Despair", and wrote "Loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, as a minister, friendship will die." Thou shalt be loyal, or filial, each do his own will, don't let my mother die, so that I hate the spring! ”

Later, Shaoxing Mansion was able to turn the corner because of Wu Zheng's timely return of troops and the mutiny of Fang Guoan's department, but these three chapters of the "Book of Desperation" were circulated because of this.

Everyone knew at the time that Zhang Guowei and Zhang Shangshu were iron-clad.

Faced with the encounter with the enemy cavalry, Zhang Guowei quickly took control of the command of the army.

In fact, this is understandable, after all, Zhu Yihai who accompanied him is now just a vassal king, and he has a name for participating in politics.

Zhang Guowei is a young master and a prince, a scholar of the military department, and a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and his status has been above Zhu Yihai.

It is even more blameless to control the command with the secretary of the military department.

Zhang Guowei's first order to take over the military power was to let the army quickly disperse to both sides of the road.

This order is the key to the Ming army's ability to resist the Tartar cavalry.

There are many rivers and more paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find a piece of dry land along the way.

Paddy field, as the name suggests, is naturally stagnant water in the field, and when people step on it, it is a "coo", straight to the knees, let alone a thousand-pound war horse.

Zhang Guowei's order saved the seven or eight thousand Ming troops and completely neutralized the advantage of the Tartar cavalry.

A battle that should have been iron-blooded was turned into a group fight of farmers in the field.

Look at that scene, the Tartar cavalry and horses were stuck in the quagmire, and they couldn't get out, and they were embarrassed by the arrows of the Ming army.

But the Tartars also react quickly, and since they can't catch up, they simply stand in place and shoot arrows, which can be their strong point.

As a result, the Ming army began to suffer a large number of casualties.

Zhang Guowei immediately ordered to retreat back a hundred paces out of the effective range of the Tartars.

The five or six thousand strong men who had just been conscripted, who were the best men in the fields, ran in the paddy fields, much lighter than the tartars, and they quickly broke away to a hundred paces away.

In this way, the situation stabilized again.

As soon as Bolo saw that something was wrong with this, he was like a giant bound hand and foot, and he couldn't do it, so he ordered the whole army to retreat to the official road.

This order did solve the passivity faced by the Tartar cavalry, but the Tartars could no longer pose a threat to the Ming army.

The two sides met and fought, and then quickly disengaged and stalemate.

The Ming army stood in the paddy field, the Tartars stood on the official road, the two sides stared at each other, if the eyes could kill, it is estimated that the corpses would have been scattered all over the ground.

But relatively speaking, the pressure on Bolo is greater, as mentioned earlier, he knows the pressure and intentions of Duoduo, and Bolo knows that if this Ming army is allowed to enter the Yiting Pass, then the defensive strength of the Yiting will be stronger.

If Duoduo attacks, he will suffer more casualties.

Bolo knew very well that this Ming army must be eliminated.

At the same time, in the battle just now, Bolo has clearly seen that there are people in this Ming army, there are many important ministers of the small court of Shaoxing Mansion, and one may be a prince from the point of view of clothing, and now the only prince of Shaoxing Mansion is Zhu Yihai.
