PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Qianshan Yao".

The junta, one of the good things, is that it responds very quickly.

Otherwise, in a sudden crisis like this, it would take at least a whole day to deliberate, and then the order could be conveyed to the armies, and then the troops could be mobilized, so that there would be no two or three days, and I am afraid that I would not be able to react, but at that time, I am afraid that the daylilies would be cold.

Wu Zheng seemed to give the order casually, but he had already concentrated the largest part of the elite division that could be mobilized at this time.

It's just that the time is too hasty after all, and Wu Zheng can't have a military discussion with the generals.

The casual orders and intentions caused a serious miscalculation.

The first echelon of Wu Zheng's response was the cavalry battalion.

This would have been correct.

The cavalry marched fast, and could use the fastest time to reach the location of the Qing army's sneak attack, as long as they were blocked, the follow-up army would come in a steady stream.

At the same time, the cavalry can almost crush the infantry in front of them, and the reason why the secret passage can not be known is that it is secretive and difficult to walk.

In other words, the number of Qing troops who came to sneak attack through this secret passage would not be too large.

There were not many of them, and those two thousand cavalry were enough to deal with it.

That's what Wu Zheng thought about.

But a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, not to mention that Wu Zheng is not a wise man who can see everything in the world.

He was wrong, very wrong...... Lower.

This mistake put him not only in a predicament, but also in a predicament for the entire Shaoxing Mansion.

This secret passage is hidden and difficult to walk, and the secret and difficult to walk is the point.

The cavalry marched fast, correctly.

There are not many Qing troops coming, there is nothing wrong.

The cavalry can crush these Qing troops, right.

But the question is, since it is impossible for the Qing infantry to flood into the mountains, forests, river beaches and other difficult places, how can the cavalry run rampant unscrupulously?

Cavalry that cannot raise speed is the target of the enemy's archers.

Wu Zheng is facing this problem.

On the official road from Shangyu to Shengxian, on the edge of a wooded field that was not very dense, Wu Zheng encountered a premeditated ambush by the Qing army's advance.

Two Niulu, six hundred archers.

They could not swim, but they could anchor themselves to trees and condescendingly shoot at cavalry passing through the official road.

Even if he is a brave soldier, even if he is the reincarnation of Sun Wu, I am afraid that he will not be able to avoid chaos in this kind of arrows shot from his head and face, and it is impossible to launch a counterattack against the enemy in such chaos.

The cavalry, including Wu Zheng, could only use their bodies and heads to resist the Qing army's arrows.

Wu Zheng was lucky, his armor saved his life.

The Qing army did not have crossbow arrows, and bows and arrows could not penetrate Wu Zheng's armor.

But the soldiers were not so lucky, their armor was light, so they suffered heavy casualties.

The cavalry battalion fled almost all the way, and after passing through the woods, it had almost lost more than thirty percent.

Before he could purge it, he was blocked by Bolo's army in front of a small river.

The river is not deep, only a man's thigh.

Nor wide, fifty or sixty paces away.

Qing archers appeared, shooting arrows across the river.

Rush forward?

At a distance of forty or fifty paces, the horses could not accelerate at all, which was enough to wipe out the entire cavalry battalion.

Go backwards?

You'll have to endure another round of locust-like arrows.

At this time, Wu Zheng finally made a correct choice.

Withdrawn the same way.

The lesser of two evils, with 30% casualties, is better than the annihilation of the entire army.

So, the cavalry battalion turned around by the river, and quickly turned around and ran back in the dense arrows of the Qing army.

After another sieve-like encounter, the cavalry battalion was finally out of danger, and by this time, the cavalry battalion had suffered more than fifty percent casualties.

Without even seeing the enemy's face, the cavalry battalion was crippled.

Wu Zheng had no choice but to order a retreat and return to Shangyu to meet with Qian Sudian and Song An before making plans.

It's also sensible.

The Qing army has already passed through the secret road, and with the strength in Wu Zheng's hands at the moment, plus the terrain, I am afraid it will be difficult to do anything.

Just this withdrawal represents the loss of Shengxian and Xinchang.

It is also a fact that the Qing army has gained a firm foothold in the hinterland of Shaoxing Prefecture.

……。

Bolo was proud.

He is qualified to be proud, at least in the past two years, the Qing army and Wu Zheng have fought no less than ten battles in total, and they have not won.

Even if the battle of Dantu was a defeat for both sides, the Qing army lost Dantu in the end, so it can't be called a victory.

As for Yizhen's Ming army of more than 20,000 people, I am afraid that winning or losing is also a matter of benevolence and wisdom, because it was exchanged for Zhenjiang.

Therefore, Bolo was a little proud, and this ambush battle could almost be said to be a complete victory.

Annihilating a formed cavalry is not an easy task for either the Qing army or the Ming army, and it is indeed not easy to be disabled.

The most important thing is that their own side is almost unharmed, if you remove the two dozen or so who fell from the tree and were injured, there would be no casualties.

That's a great achievement!

Bolo, who has long passed the age of establishment, can't help the ecstasy in his heart.

Bolo is triumphant but not steady.

He did not give the order to pursue, but to shrink his forces.

As Dordor said, to respect one's opponent is to respect oneself.

Three thousand people is not enough to occupy Shaoxing Mansion, and now it is not the time for the Qing army to just enter the customs, and the Ming army already has fighting spirit.

Being able to firmly control Shengxian and Xinchang in his hands has already achieved the purpose of this battle.

Although the pursuit may lead to unexpected results, Bolo is not greedy.

He is not afraid that Wu Zheng will launch a counterattack against himself after stabilizing his position, because at this time, Prince Yu Duoduo should have ordered to launch an attack on Jinhua and Shaoxing, right? Bolo smiled even more proudly, Wu Zheng, your good life is over.

……。

The time when Dodor gave the order to attack was long before Bolo's estimate.

Dodor seemed to have forgotten by this time what he had said about respecting his opponents and keeping his promises to his opponents.

Those who achieve great things are not informal.

If you let go of this opportunity in front of you, I'm afraid God will blame you.

Duoduo brazenly ordered the Qing army from Taizhou to attack Jinhua Mansion, and he himself led a large army to attack Shaoxing.

For a time, the war in Jiangdong was ignited everywhere.

Yanzhou Weidu commanded Sun Jiaji, and deputy commander Chi Erhan led the men and horses of the headquarters out of the city to meet the battle and resist stubbornly.

It's no less impressive.

Both sides are clearly arranged in formation, and the strength is comparable.

In this kind of field battle, unless one side collapses first, the casualties on both sides will not be large in the early stage of the war.

Imagine, when the sword and shield soldiers on both sides start to make contact, they are blocked in front of them with half-human-high shields, and the two sides collide together, glued, and the pikemen behind stab each other through the gap, unless they are really unlucky, they generally do not die.

This kind of field battle is fought for endurance and confidence.

The biggest casualties were not caused by the other side, but trampled to death.

If you fall, you will surely die.

The two sides squeezed forward desperately, and no one would care about their feet, and whoever fell to the ground was unlucky.
