Pity the Qing army fighting at the South Gate, which was originally fought impressively.

I don't want to be suddenly overwhelmed by my own people and disrupt the siege formation.

After the rout roared, the Qing army that had already attacked the city wall was stunned to find that there were no more friendly troops behind them, this huge disappointment and frustration, so that these Qing soldiers had nothing to love, many Qing soldiers chose to jump off the city wall to follow the escape, and were trampled into flesh by the Ming cavalry that followed.

The other part of the Qing army threw down the weapons in their hands and surrendered.

At this time, the cavalry of the Ming army finally accelerated, and resolutely pursued the fleeing Qing army on the plain south of Yiting and west of Baima Lake.

Perhaps it was the hatred of the Qing army in his heart, and the Ming army did not accept the surrender of this Qing army.

It is said that the character of the commander determines the soul of a force, and this cavalry that Wu Zheng has poured the greatest effort and financial resources, from top to bottom, killing all the Tartars in the world has become an obsession in the hearts of every soldier.

Except for the hundreds of Qing troops who surrendered on the wall of the South Gate, which survived, this Qing army was almost wiped out.

After the war, there were more than 5,000 corpses of the Qing army in the vicinity of the people, and in the Baima Lake in the east, there were as many as 1,000 corpses picked up, which was the Qing army panicked and wanted to jump into the lake, so as to avoid the pursuit of the cavalry, but they did not know the nature of the water, and sank to the bottom of the lake like a weighing stone in the water.

As a result, the people around Hakuba Lake did not dare to drink the water of Hakuba Lake for a long time, and only used it to irrigate the farmland.

……。

Ke Yongsheng can't escape after all.

Yuyao is in the northeast of Shangyu, which is a protrusion to Hangzhou Bay, unless Ke Yongsheng has a boat to cross the sea, otherwise there is only a detour to the south, or have to flee from the east of the post pavilion.

But can Wu Zheng let him go?

Can the Ming army of the post pavilion let him go easily?

No!

Half a day later, in a place called Qili Pavilion about sixty miles east of the post pavilion, the Ming army intercepted the remnants of Ke Yongsheng, who only had a hundred people around him.

Facing the cavalry of the Ming army, which was several times his size, Ke Yongsheng knew that he would not be able to hide today.

Pulling his throat, shouting, "Kill"!

Ke Yongsheng led the remnants of the cavalry to launch a final fight against the Ming cavalry.

Wu Zheng, who was sitting on the horse, sighed lightly, and then waved his right hand.

Thousands of cavalry shot arrows like locusts, which were all arrows compared to the hundreds of remnants.

The Qing soldiers who rushed to the nearest were still twenty steps away from the head of the Ming army, and no one slipped through the net.

Ke Yongsheng was hit by more than a dozen arrows, and it was obvious that the Ming soldiers took the most care of the arrows.

Ke Yongsheng's death means that Shaoxing Mansion has no longer formed a Qing army, and Shaoxing Mansion, which has been in existence for a year, has finally been recovered.

Wu Zheng looked up to the sky excitedly and roared, causing thousands of cavalry to burst out in unison.

This voice is earth-shattering, enduring, like wind and thunder, and it is indestructible.

……。

Within three days, Ying Tianfu not only sent Ma Shiying to urge Wu Zheng to transfer troops north, but this time even Qian Sule personally rushed to Hangzhou, and Mo Zhinian hurriedly sent someone to Shaoxing to inform Wu Zheng.

This time Wu Zheng did not delay, and after handing over the defense of Shaoxing Mansion to Chen Sheng and others, he went to Pinggangshan to pick up his father, and crossed the river with Zhang Guowei to return to Hangzhou.

Qian Sule brought bad news, Zhenjiang Mansion had fallen, and most of the county town had been occupied by the Qing army.

This news moved Wu Zheng.

Originally, after the loss of Yingtianfu, Hong Chengchou led the remnants to occupy Zhenjiang Fucheng, and was immediately surrounded by the Ming army on three sides.

However, because Zhenjiang Fucheng was originally a military town, the city walls were strong, and Wu Zhengsuo's troops were exhausted at that time and could not launch an offensive again, so they only besieged but did not attack until an armistice agreement was signed with the Qing court.

The city of Zhenjiang has been occupied by the Qing army and has become a nail in the land of the Ming army's nine mansions, just like the Ming army's Lihai and Pinggang Mountain in Shaoxing Mansion.

And Wu Zheng, Wang Zhiren and others have always maintained a sense of vigilance against Zhenjiang Mansion City, and there are 8,000 troops in Zhenjiang Mansion.

It stands to reason that without special circumstances, the Qing army in Zhenjiang Prefecture would not be able to attack the city.

However, this war broke out suddenly, and Wu Zheng and Wang Zhiren both judged that the ultimate goal of the Qing court should be Lihai and Pinggangshan in Shaoxing Prefecture.

Because Wu Zheng and Wang Zhiren are both concerned that Zhenjiang Mansion is occupied by the Qing army, they are like a fish in their throats, comparing their hearts with their hearts and putting themselves in their shoes, and they can naturally understand that Lihai and Pinggangshan are like a thorn in the hearts of the Qing court.

Therefore, it is reasonable to be wrong in judgment.

When this war broke out, Wu Zheng did not expect to send heavy reinforcements to Zhenjiang Mansion, which was one of the reasons why Zhenjiang Mansion was occupied by the Qing army, and there was another reason, that is, man-made disasters, man-made disasters.

Perhaps Chen Zilong and other literati were too worried about the combat strength of the Qing army.

With more than 20,000 forbidden troops of the Qian family's uncle and nephew and Liao Zhongping, as well as Wang Zhiren's two battalions of water divisions, plus Wu Zheng's transfer of the third battalion of the water division (formerly Zhoushan Water Division) back to the waters of the Yangtze River, plus Wang Zhiren and others in charge, in fact, the defensive strength of the Ming army was enough to deal with the attack of the Qing army in Jiangbei.

This is also where Wu Zheng can take a break in his busy schedule and organize this reconquest war.

But the problem is that Chen Zilong and the others are very worried about the Qing army's attack on Tianfu, and they are trying to gather more troops to resist the Qing army.

At this time, Wang Zhiren led the water division and the Qing army to confront the Yangtze River, and he had no idea what was happening behind him.

Chen Zilong summoned the three cabinet ministers (Ma Shiying was appointed by the cabinet and was urging Wu Zheng to return to Yingtianfu in Hangzhou at this time) and proposed to transfer a powerful part of the Ming army of Zhenjiang Mansion to reinforce a place called Longtan along the river between Zhenjiang and Yingtianfu.

In fact, this proposal cannot be said to be wrong, Longtan is indeed a battleground for the offensive and defensive battles of the Yangtze River.

But the transfer of troops from Zhenjiang Mansion is a huge mistake.

Zhang Huangyan objected, he believed that Xia Wanchun had already led Jianyangwei from Taiping Mansion to aid Yingtianfu, and as long as he waited for two or three days, he could deploy the first part of Jianyangwei in Longtan, so as not to draw troops from Zhenjiang Mansion.

But the problem is that Chen Zilong insisted on transferring troops, and although Qian Sule felt that it was a little inappropriate in his heart, from the perspective of the camps of both sides, Qingliu always had to "watch and help each other", and Qian Sule thought that Chen Zilong's original intention, that is, the starting point, was good, so he echoed Chen Zilong's proposal, so with two to one, the cabinet ordered the transfer of 3,000 defenders from Zhenjiang Mansion to reinforce Longtan.

In this way, Zhenjiang Mansion only has 5,000 garrisons, and the encirclement of Zhenjiang City is useless.

Although there are only remnants of the Qing army in Zhenjiang City, and the strength is comparable, for the attack and defense of the two sides, it can only be regarded as a confrontation at most, not to mention encirclement.

Of course, this is not the main reason for the loss of Zhenjiang Mansion.

The main reason was that everyone in the Qingtai Dynasty misjudged Dolgon's strategic intentions.

Including Wu Zheng, they all believed that the Qing army's attack on Tianfu was a feint, and its strategic goal was to avenge Fuzhou's revenge, and to take the opportunity to clear the two thorns in the side of Lihai and Pinggang Mountain.
