Chapter 253: Retreat to Pinggang Mountain

In this battle, Wang Zhiren did invest a lot of money, and at this time, let him personally recover Zhenjiang, which is obviously impossible, everyone understands that leaving Ying Tianfu means that it is difficult to divide the most beneficial interests for themselves.

After Wu Zheng had a thorough discussion with Wang Zhiren, Wang Zhiren agreed that Wang Yilin would lead a naval division with 3,000 infantry to recover Zhenjiang.

Wu Zheng then sent several messengers to recover Yingtianfu, and still needed to hold Yingtianfu, Wu Zheng decided to urgently transfer 2,000 troops each of the garrisons of Jiaxing and Suzhou to the north to thicken the defense of Yingtianfu.

At the same time, Wu Zheng also counted on the Shaoxing Mansion to send troops north.

But Wu Zheng didn't know at this time that Shaoxing Mansion was ...... has fallen.

Duoduo had a great headache.

Wu Zheng judged correctly, the Qing army was like a long snake, it suddenly swallowed the elephant of Daming, and it couldn't digest it in a short time.

The Qing army's strength was not stretched from the middle.

The tragedy of slaughtering the city has been staged several times, in fact, the biggest reason is because of the fear in the hearts of the Qing army.

They were afraid of the Ming people resisting, and they were even more afraid of a fire in the backyard.

Occupation does not mean that you can rule, and once the tide of resistance rises everywhere, then the army will be even more insufficient.

Wu Zheng instructed Chen Sheng, Chi Erhan and others to retreat to Pinggang Mountain if they couldn't fight, in order to plan for the future, this is the reason.

Space for time, now that the land of China is at war everywhere, it is impossible for the main force of the Qing army to stay in Shaoxing Mansion all the time, as long as they are transferred, it will be the time when the Ming army recovers Shaoxing Mansion.

Why fight with the Qing army for a while?

But what Wu Zheng didn't expect was that the Ming army would pay such a high price in this battle to defend Shaoxingfu.

More than 20,000 soldiers shed blood, and even Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was martyred.

This is the problem of the Dordor's headaches.

The Qing army was moving south to Fujian to attack Longwu's lair, and it was impossible for his army to stay in Shaoxing Mansion for a long time.

But there are still more than 10,000 Ming troops in Pinggang Mountain, as soon as you withdraw, he will attack, what should I do?

After thinking about it, Duoduo could only bite his teeth and ordered to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress.

As a result, when Wu Zheng recovered Yingtianfu, Laohuai Village outside Pinggang Mountain had already broken out in the first battle of encirclement and suppression.

The fight was very intense.

Duoduo brought thirty-six red-coated cannons and bombarded the Ming army's fortifications indiscriminately.

The fortifications of the Ming army were riddled with holes, but fortunately, the Ming army was prepared, and the most important thing in the mountains was trees.

The Ming army sawed a tree in the middle, and then built the fortifications one by one.

Compacted with sand and covered with sandbags, not to mention, the artillery fire of the Qing army only gnawed off a layer of bark.

In addition to the smoke and dust in the sky, the Qing army got nothing.

In desperation, Duoduo ordered to attack Laohuai Village at all costs.

And so, more intense battles broke out.

After two days of fighting, the casualties on both sides were close to the limit, the Ming army suffered thirty percent casualties, while the Qing army was even higher, more than forty percent.

The Ming army occupied the advantage of the terrain and the casualties were close to the Qing army, which proved the ferocity of the Qing army's attack from the side.

At this time, Duoduo was already a little out of control, and the large number of casualties and unfavorable advances made him a little out of control.

On the third day, he brazenly ordered to capture the surrounding people and act as meat shields, forcing the people to rush to the front.

The command of the Ming army at this time was concentrated in the hands of Chi Erhan, Chen Sheng and Liao Zhongping.

After the First Battle of Fenghui, the court officials consciously stopped meddling in military affairs.

After urgent deliberation, Chi Erhan and others decided to retreat and retreat into Pinggang Mountain.

As a result, the Qing army easily occupied Laohuai Village, and Duoduo was overjoyed and ordered to continue the pursuit.

In front of the Pinggang cottage road, Duoduo was vigilant.

He ordered the whole army to halt its advance and camp on the spot.

After a night of thinking, Duoduo repeated his old tricks, and once again held the Ming people as meat shields, and then the Qing army followed.

But this time, Duoduo miscalculated, and when the Qing army walked three or four miles outside the road, it was stunned by the Ming artillery.

These four red-coated cannons were the captured goods of the bandits in Pingpinggang Mountain, which had been erected on the cliffs on both sides of the road, and later after the transformation of the gun emplacements of Qian Qiaogong and others, they could already shoot at targets within five miles of the road with almost no dead ends.

It's a pity that the hit is not high, otherwise, I'm afraid that Duoduo and Bolo may be sent to the western sky with one shot due to too close.

Leaving dozens of corpses behind, the Qing army retreated in disarray.

Duoduo angrily ordered to shoot the Ming people who fled with the Qing army.

For a time, hundreds of people innocently drank blood outside the mountain, and the soldiers of the Ming army all gritted their teeth.

Upright people like Qian Sule even sent troops to Zhu Yujiao to save innocent people.

But now, the military power is in the hands of Chen Sheng, Chi Erhan and others, even as a prisoner, they can't force them to do so.

In fact, people like Zhang Huangyan and others also knew Duoduo's intentions, which was nothing more than to provoke the Ming army, so as to go out of the mountains for a decisive battle, but many times, people's hearts are always fleshy.

Even if it's a bastard like Chi Erhan.

Therefore, the Ming army tasted the first defeat since entering the mountain, and the army of 5,000 out of the mountain was surrounded and suppressed by the Qing army, so it lost more than 1,000 soldiers, and if it were not for the power of the four artillery pieces of the barrier, the loss would be much greater.

After tasting the bitterness of defeat, Chen Sheng and others set an iron law, without the three nodding together, the Ming army must not go out of the mountain to meet the enemy, violators, behead!

After all, Duoduo did not dare to set foot in the mountain again, and as a result, the two sides entered a brief stalemate.

The materials in the cottage are quite complete, although the number of people is unexpectedly large, but it is not a problem to support March and May.

……。

In the city of Hangzhou.

After Wu Zheng set out for the expedition, Mo Zhinian began to launch a "food war".

The main object of the war is the rich people who hoard food in the city, and in a certain way, Mo Obsession should be one with them.

But don't obsessively want to be bigger, this is the fundamental difference from them.

Mo obsession knows very well that in this world, no matter how big a businessman is, he will never be able to go to the end without relying on the government and being an official businessman.

The generations of the Mo family have been greatly influenced by Shen Wansan, and they want to regain the glory of the year all the time.

Investing in micro ends is undoubtedly the highest level of investment.

Therefore, Mo Obsession chose Wu Zheng.

In particular, Wu Zheng's dialogue with him before he set out on the expedition pointed out a different path for Mo Zhinian.

Mo Zhi is even more convinced that the future of this young man is limitless.

In the early days of the "Food War", the Mo family was in full swing, and countless wealthy businessmen and tycoons in the city came to the door to ask Mo for an explanation, which can be described as coercion and temptation, and they did everything they could.

But Mo was obsessed with holding it up and blocking it, and as a result, the Mo family became an outlier among the wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou, and was consciously queued up outside the giant households in the city and isolated.
