Chapter 133: Complete Victory

The luck of the cavalry battalion was really good.

After dismounting in unison with the Tartars, they broke through to the rear of the Tartars.

In the blink of an eye, the Tartars were driven into the forest to graze by the Ming army.

Qian Sudian was not in love with war, he quickly charged forward along the official road according to the set goal.

Like a red-hot dagger stabbed into the snow and ice, the shapeless tartar rolled out to the sides like a wave cut through it.

The sudden chaos made the main force in the ambush feel a little lighter.

Wu Zheng keenly guessed that Qian Sudian's troops might succeed, and immediately ordered the whole army to charge.

Thus, a game of hungry wolves and rabbits began.

Wang Yilin, who had taken a breath from the west, led his army into this chase battle.

In just one hour, more than 2,300 Tartars were annihilated.

This is the body found.

For the rest, Wu Zheng has no interest in chasing and searching.

In the frantic shouts of the soldiers of the whole army, Wu Zheng ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up.

The soldiers of the Ming army drew their knives one after another to cut off the heads of the Tartars, but they were stopped by Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng ordered that the left ear of all the Tartar heads be cut off, and the left ear was used as a basis for the officers and soldiers of the rearguard station. At the same time, Wu Zheng ordered the severed Tartar heads to be piled up on the side of the official road, built into a landscape, and set up a wooden sign on it, with twelve big characters on it: "Wu Zheng of the Ming Dynasty destroyed the three thousand horses of Jianyu".

This is not the end, Wu Zheng planted a full seventeen mines under the wooden sign.

Originally, there were no mines in the hand, but this kind of earthen mine had no quality at all, when it was detonated, there were so many mines that did not explode, just take out and bury it under the wooden card, in order to trigger, Wu Zheng really used a lot of brains.

In the end, Li Ruhai came up with a good idea, put the fuse through the pipe, lead to the landscape, put the fire fold vertically, bury the bottom in the soil, and then surround the head of the fuse around the upper and lower junctions of the fire fold, and finally connect the upper part of the fire fold with a thin hemp rope to the bottom of the wooden card, and finally cover the fire fold around the fire fold with a layer of fine hay.

In this way, as long as the Tartar sees the wooden sign and is indignant, and pulls up or kicks down the wooden card, it will pull the fine hemp rope, thus pulling out the upper end of the fire fold, so that the fire fold will ignite the covered hay on the side, even if it does not directly ignite the winding fuse, the burning hay will also ignite the fuse. Explosions were inevitable.

Wu Zheng adopted Li Ruhai's suggestion, although Wu Zheng was not optimistic about this arrangement, because the structure was too rough, and this matter was more like a prank to boost the morale of the whole army, or just to meet the situation.

But Wu Zheng definitely didn't expect that this self-confessed crude prank almost changed history, of course, this is a later story.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Wu Zhengbu and Wang Yilinbu quickly headed towards Hangzhou City.

The battle took nearly an hour before and after, and more than 2,000 enemy troops were annihilated.

More than 1,000 intact horses and countless ordnance were captured.

The Ming army suffered more than 270 casualties, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides was already 1 to 10.

……。

Fang Guoan was actually reluctant to give up Hangzhou in his heart.

But he knows very well that compared with Hangzhou, Puyang's nest is his foundation.

There's his old roots.

The city of Hangzhou is backed by the Qiantang River, and there is no danger to defend, unless there is an absolute replenishment of soldiers and an endless supply of food and money, it will not be able to hold it at all.

Shaoxing Mansion is too small, and money and food can't withstand such consumption at all.

Besides, Fang Guoan didn't want to compromise his own strength and let Wang Zhiren take a big advantage.

If one goes down and the other rises, his own strength weakens, and Wang Jiren's strength rises relatively speaking.

In this way, his voice in the court will be weakened.

Fang Guoan will never allow this to happen.

In addition, Fang Guoan is still not optimistic that Lu Jianguo will be able to withstand the Tartars' full blow in Shaoxing.

He thinks he is a good bird, and he must choose a tree to perch on.

Therefore, if you continue to stay in Hangzhou City, you will have to face Duoduo and Bolo, so that the hole cards will have to be opened.

Is it to surrender or to be loyal to Ming?

Fang Guoan can only leave, even if he is reluctant, he must leave.

Rather than fighting a war of attrition with the Tartars in the city of Hangzhou, it is more practical to return to Puyang with a large amount of money obtained from looting, and rely on the natural dangers of the Qiantang River to hold on.

Fang Guoan's first reaction when he heard the news that the Tartars had arrived in Jiaxing Mansion was to order the entire army to retreat.

In addition, he had other considerations.

In his heart, Wu Zheng is no longer the seventh-grade sentinel officer he was when he first came to Shaoxing.

The current Wu Zheng controls the strength of three thousands of households, of course, the population of the military households under his jurisdiction is still insufficient.

However, the military population is a trivial matter, as long as there is strong strength in the hand, the population will quickly go to take refuge, especially in this troubled era.

Fang Guoan didn't like Wu Zheng, and Fang Guoan strongly thought that Wu Zheng was an outlier.

is like the stunned Zhang Huangyan, even more difficult than Zhang Huangyan, because Wu Zheng has soldiers in his hands.

Fang Guoan also knew that Wu Zheng didn't like him either.

In this way, there is no room for reconciliation between the two.

Get rid of him!

chose to retreat immediately, in order to get rid of Wu Zheng.

Young people, the blood is strong.

The aura of honor for the recovery of Hangzhou is too strong.

Who can abandon it like money?

Fang Guoan knew very well that Wu Zheng was unwilling to retreat easily.

Then let him stay, thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Fang Guoan's mouth.

If there are less than 3,000 soldiers, even if you add 10,000 troops.

How could he be a rival to Dodor?

Fang Guoan had already sent someone to send a secret letter to Bolo.

The news that there are now only less than 3,000 defenders and 10,000 troops in Hangzhou City was revealed.

casually attacked for his crossing of the river, and explained a lot.

explained that he had no choice but to do it, and showed that he had absolutely no intention of confronting the Qing army.

In the end, he also implied that he could contribute to the Qing court and establish greater merits. Provided, of course, that there is a suitable location.

Thinking that such an arrangement would make Wu Zheng die silently in Hangzhou City, Fang Guoan was very satisfied with his arrangement.

In fact, he knows his mind very well, he is not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, let alone loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what he wants is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and good birds choose trees to perch.

But Fang Guoan always thought that Wu Zheng was in Dongcheng, but he only got an urgent report from Wang Zhiren and sent his fuses to report it.

didn't know that before he retreated, Wu Zheng had already left Hangzhou City to go to Yanguan to find the batch of artillery.

I didn't know that Wu Zheng would conspire with Wang Yilin and decided to fight an ambush for the Tartar strikers in Hejiadai, and he won.

Even Fang Guoan didn't expect that Wang Zhiren would be so fond of Wu Zheng that he would lend Wang Yilin and 3,000 men to Wu Zheng to fight this ambush battle, and because of this, the fleet was stranded at Wusongkou.

History may have changed imperceptibly during this time period.
