Looking at the endless grain transportation team for several miles, I listened to Wu Zheng tell about the process of the battle of Daoxu.

Jin Shenghuan, who was standing at the head of the city, had countless grassland beasts passing by in his heart in an instant.

This is not only for Wu Zheng, but also for Ke Yongsheng, who retreated to Lihai without authorization.

If this guy had come to meet him earlier, why would he be here, why would he be here?

Looking at Wu Zheng's graceful face, Jin Shenghuan felt a sad cry in his heart, it seems that the Qingtai Dynasty may not be as weak as he imagined, and the Qing court may not be as strong as it seems.

At least the loss of Shaoxing Mansion represents the complete loss of the Qing court's control in eastern Zhejiang, and now in the battle on the Yangtze River, how can the Qing army, without a decent naval division, break through the defense line of the Ming army's naval division?

Thinking about it this way, Jin Shenghuan also settled down, and it may not be a bad thing to fall.

It's just that Jin Shenghuan looked at Wang Deren with some resentment, this guy actually fell in front of Lao Tzu.

……。

The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the drum was beaten by thousands of people.

No one thought that a Daoxu granary would cause a decisive battle with nearly 20,000 people.

In this decisive battle, the Ming army made a mistake and defeated more than 10,000 Qing troops at a small cost.

Although it was only a defeat and could not be annihilated, this victory in the strategic sense had already determined the final victory or defeat of the Shaoxing Campaign.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Sheng, Li Ruhai, and Lu Zhiyu took the opportunity to launch an all-out counterattack against the Qing army encircling Liwai.

Ke Yongsheng resisted stubbornly for an afternoon, although he was not defeated by the Lihai Ming army, but the area he was in was slowly shrinking.

That night, in the city of Shaoxing, Wu Zheng, who had emptied the granary of Daoxu, made a pre-war mobilization in the west school field, which can be summed up in one sentence, "It is advisable to chase after the poor with Yu Yong."

Whether it was Fang Guo's security department, Wang Deren's department, or Jin Shenghuan's department, they were all sent out.

With the Cao'e River along the river, Daoxu, and Shangyu, the three directions of the Lihai Qing army were outflanked in an all-round way.

At this time, Wu Zheng's appetite had been gradually raised.

His requirements for the generals under his command have changed from expelling the Qing army to completely annihilating the Qing army in Shaoxing Prefecture.

With the development of the war situation, Wu Zheng, who originally only wanted to drive the Qing army out of Shaoxing Mansion, began to show "hideousness" at that time.

Beat the water dogs! When Wu Zheng shouted these words loudly, the soldiers became excited.

Everyone understands that the Qing army has been defeated by half of the occupation of the granary of Daoxu, and the battle of Daoxu, the unexpected loss of the Qing army is equivalent to the defeat of the other half.

Even Jin Shenghuan, who was originally reluctant to surrender to the Qingtai Dynasty, was determined to fight Wu Zheng at this time.

The end of the Qing army in Shaoxing is not far off.

Just after the hour, more than 10,000 troops left Shaoxing Mansion, like three fire dragons, stretching on the three roads to the east.

At that time, the sky was not yet fully bright, and the Ming army directly launched an attack on the Qing army in Lihai.

The momentum is great and the attack is resolute, which can be called the most important in this battle.

……。

Facing the enemy's flanking attack from four directions (including the Lihai Ming Army), Ke Yongsheng may not be able to withstand it even if he has the ability to turn stones into gold at this time.

Under the sharp reduction of troops, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

But Ke Yongsheng is not like Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, he is a righteous and honest Qing court general, and the word surrender has never appeared in his mind.

So Ke Yongsheng ordered a breakthrough, and the direction was still the post pavilion.

At this time, Ke Yongsheng still had at least more than 15,000 troops under his command, and he left a partial division behind the palace, taking advantage of the night, the main force went to the post pavilion.

The deviant division left behind is mixed with real money.

At least 1,000 of them are Ke Yongsheng's descendants.

This is not surprising, under this extreme disadvantage, leaving the queen of the palace is equivalent to a dead end, without real money mixed in, the morale of the army behind the palace cannot be raised.

This Qing army of less than 5,000 people was indeed brave, and it dragged the Ming army from four directions to attack, and of course, the night also gave the Qing army great convenience.

The Ming army knew that the victory was decided, and every general did not want to suffer any more heavy casualties, so they did not decide to attack.

When the sky was bright, the Ming army found that the Qing army surrounded was only a Qing army behind the palace, and the main force of the enemy had disappeared.

In a fit of rage, he immediately launched a surprise attack on this partial division, completely annihilating it, and not letting anyone slip through the net.

……。

The post pavilion has developed from a little-known small post station in ancient times to a key pass.

Then the Qing army broke into Shaoxing Mansion, where the Ming army rose up to resist, and then became famous for Zhang Guowei's heroic "martyrdom".

The literati of Jiangnan have beautified it into a sacred holy place of the Anti-Japanese War.

But the continuous change of hands did not make the city defense of the post pavilion pass stronger, but decayed due to the continuous war.

Ke Yongsheng judged from this that even if the Ming army deployed heavy troops to intercept it, and wanted to defend the city with a post pavilion only one zhang high, it would not be able to stop him from fighting with his back and fighting to the death.

What's more, judging from the deployment of the Ming army in the Lihai battlefield, the Ming army should not have the possibility of deploying heavy troops at Yiting.

The post pavilion was the only retreat channel for the Qing army except by sea.

Ke Yongsheng knows, Wu Zheng also knows, everyone knows.

Since they all know, then there is a possibility that it will be dark under the light.

The Ming army may not think that they dare to make a desperate attack and break through from the post pavilion.

When Ke Yongsheng arrived outside the post pavilion city, looking at the cold and deserted periphery, his heart was wide.

If there are tens of thousands of people in this broken city, it must not be able to hide, since there is nothing unusual, it means that the number of troops in the city will definitely not exceed five or six thousand.

The corners of Ke Yongsheng's mouth showed a hint of a smile, the young prince of the Qingtai Dynasty was a little bit of a man after all.

"Attack! Take the post pavilion and we will be able to go west! Ke Yongsheng's brief pre-war mobilization boosted the morale of the Qing army.

Indeed, for those in desperate situations, giving them a slim hope can arouse their potential.

More than 10,000 Qing troops immediately divided into two roads and launched a simultaneous charge attack on the west and south gates of Yiting.

This charge, without reserves, is a real last stand.

Even if the Ming army set up an ambush in the city, it would not be able to stop this kind of general attack all over the mountains, because just as Ke Yongsheng thought, there were indeed only more than 5,000 Ming troops in the post pavilion.

More than 5,000 Ming troops, coupled with the dilapidated city walls, faced with the charge of more than 10,000 enemies regardless of life and death, it was a bloody battle with a high probability of defeat and invincibility.

But the question is, is Wu Zheng so stupid?

He clearly knew that the retreat of the Qing army was only a single-plank bridge in Yiting, and Zhang Guowei deliberately led the army to occupy Yiting precisely because he wanted to cut off the retreat of the Qing army.

Wu Zheng didn't take care of the post pavilion because of a misjudgment?

This is obviously impossible!

has already moved the idea of annihilating the Qing army in Shaoxing Mansion, how could Wu Zheng not strengthen the defense capability of the post pavilion pass?

Therefore, the desertion outside the post pavilion city is actually an obvious anomaly.
