PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Kang Wenhao".

So Bolo decided to annihilate this Ming army at all costs.

He gave an order, the whole army dismounted, marched on foot, closely cooperated, suppressed the Ming army with arrows, and steadily encroached.

Bolo's order made the Ming army miserable.

As I said before, only two thousand of the seven or eight thousand were veterans, and even if they could be on a par with the Tartars in archery, they were too few in number.

Two thousand against five thousand, this is an egg against a stone.

Seeing the Tartars approaching step by step, even Zhang Guowei panicked, no way.

The paddy field can block the Tartar war horse, but it can't stop the Tartar's feet.

Zhu Yihai's whole body trembled, and he lost the heartiness and heroism he had in front of Zhu Yujiao at that time.

"Gong Zhang, Gong Qian, withdraw it...... If you don't withdraw, it's too late, lonely ...... This king doesn't want to die in this rotten paddy field yet. ”

Qian Sule nodded gloomily, to be honest, in his heart, he was already very satisfied with Zhu Yihai's performance this time, and even exceeded his expectations.

Zhang Guowei also knows that if he doesn't withdraw, he will be bitten by the Tartar.

So Zhang Guowei agreed, and the whole army retreated.

But the question is, how to withdraw?

When you return to Shaoxing Mansion, you must leave the paddy fields and go to dry land, which is equivalent to putting your life under the iron hooves of the Tartars.

The hesitation at this time made the tartar closer, Zhu Yihai's face was hideous, and finally he couldn't stand the psychological pressure, screamed wildly, and ran backwards.

As soon as Zhu Yihai ran, dozens of guards with him chased after him.

As soon as these dozens of guards ran away, Qian Sule and the others had to catch up.

As a result, the Ming army began to retreat.

Originally, this ending was already conceivable, that is, the whole army collapsed and was pursued by the Tartar cavalry to annihilation.

But in the world, there are always many accidents, and many times, it is not only the great men and elites who make history, but those little people.

The five or six thousand new recruits, although they were not trained, were fully armed.

Each person has a shield, a knife, and a bow, although he cannot use it skillfully, but he can use it to block the enemy's arrows to save his life, and he still has no self-master.

And most of the Tartar arrows went to the Ming archers, in order to suppress.

Therefore, the casualties of the strong men are actually very small.

And they were also flustered when they faced the Tartars approaching step by step.

But among them, there are always a few or a dozen, or dozens of bold and bloody people.

These people, using the method they are best at, launched an attack on the Tartars - Mud!

Those who have planted the field know that when you pull up a handful of seedlings from the paddy field, the roots under the seedlings will bring up a large lump of mud, and then carry the seedlings in your hands for one or two circles and throw them out, and those with great strength can throw dozens of steps.

If you get smashed, you can't hurt anyone. However, it will make you smushy all over your body, face, and eyes, and disgust you.

You will subconsciously wipe it, so that you lose time for archery.

And the farmers are most accustomed to conformity, and when they see someone doing this, it is quite effective, and this is what they are good at, so they are out of control.

It is not a miracle that the "mud bombs" dropped by 5 or 6,000 people have delayed the approach of the Tartars.

At this time, the archers of the Ming army, who had begun to retreat, began to turn around and counterattack, and the soldiers of the Ming army, who had already run out dozens of steps, began to return, Zhang Guowei and others woke up from the initial surprise, and even Zhu Yihai stood still.

A magnificent counterattack broke out under the guidance of the farmers' "mud bombs".

The northerners, especially the Tartars, have never stepped on paddy fields, how do they know the power of the "mud bomb", they were hit with a "bang", and then exploded, splashing all over their faces, and their eyes were confused, so they jumped to wipe them with their hands, and this wipe was even more invisible.

Then the Ming archers shot at the Tartars almost like live targets.

Even Zhu Yihai, who quietly returned to the land, followed the example of those farmers, pulled out the seedlings from the field, and smashed them in the direction of the tartars.

Although several times, his center of gravity was unstable and he fell into the paddy field, making him look like a mud monkey, but he was still happy.

While smashing, he shouted in his mouth, "Kill all the Jianyu and restore my Ming!" ”

So the shouts in the sky came and went, "Kill all the prisoners, restore my Ming!" ”

With a pillar of incense, at least more than 600 Tartars were shot in the rotten paddy fields.

Bolo had to give the order to withdraw the army back to the official route.

……。

In Yiting City, Zhang Huangyan and Liao Zhongping worked very hard.

Under the strict supervision of Duoduo, the Qing army attacked desperately as if it were crazy.

By the city wall, the corpses of soldiers on both sides were piled up almost as high as the city wall, so that the Qing army could storm the city wall from the horizontal direction as long as they climbed on the pile of corpses.

The blood beneath the pile of corpses pooled into a stream, gurgling and flowing.

This kind of war of attrition, in which casualties are fought, really tests the will of the armies of both sides to fight.

And when he heard that the important ministers of the court and the king of Lu came to the post pavilion to help in the battle, they were blocked by the Tartar cavalry outside the city, which made Zhang Huangyan and Liao Zhongping lose their ground.

To save or not to save?

Rescue, the defense of the post pavilion has already been spared, and if an army is drawn out of the city, then it is likely to be broken.

If you don't save it, it's an important minister of the entire court, and there is also a Ming vassal king among them.

This choice also tested Zhang Huangyan and Liao Zhongping.

After several encounters, they unexpectedly converged on the bitter battle ahead.

No one mentioned it again, no one asked.

Because they all know that once the post pavilion is lost, then Shaoxing Mansion will no longer be in danger.

Even if he could save the Ming army outside the city, it would be nothing more than a few more days.

Rather than this, it is better to fight the enemy to the end on the city wall, and if you can't kill it, you will have to cripple it.

Fortunately, the next news that the Ming army outside the city actually blocked the surprise attack of the enemy cavalry, which made Zhang Huangyan and Liao Zhongping smile at each other and feel relieved.

Zhang Huangyan took the opportunity to let the soldiers spread the news that reinforcements had arrived outside the city and would arrive from time to time.

As a result, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the Qing army was once again driven off the city wall, which was already the fifth attack of the Qing army that day.

……。

Compared with Yiting, Fenghui's Ming army had fewer troops.

In addition to the 3,000 people in Shaoxing Mansion, it is Chen Sheng's department, and the total number of people is less than 6,000.

This also includes a detachment of cavalry sent by Chen Sheng to attack and harass the enemy army in a roundabout way.

But Fenghui didn't fight as hard as Yiting, not because the Tartar attack was not fierce, but because the Ming army was very well prepared.

Fenghui has been the county governor of Shangyu since ancient times, until the Tartars entered the customs, and King Shaoxing of Lu supervised the country, which moved the Shangyu governance office from Fenghui to Shining Town.

Therefore, Fenghui has always had the strongest city in Shangyu, although it is not big, but everything is complete.

The 10,000 Qing army, although the strength was twice that of the Ming army, was not pleasing for a while in this kind of tight defense of the Ming army.

Not only that, under the leadership of Chen Sheng and others, the casualties of the Qing army have always been twice as high as those of the Ming army.
