In Pinggang Mountain, Chi Erhan was also distressed at this time.

The terrain of the cottage is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is true.

The long and narrow Yongdao made it impossible for the Qing army to attack at all, but the problem was that the Ming army could not get out.

The Qing army blocked the Yongdao crossing, and the Ming army was covered in iron armor, and it couldn't rush out, but it lost a lot of manpower.

After receiving Wu Zheng's order to cooperate with this reconquest battle and lead the army out of the mountains to contain the Qing army, Chi Erhan had already organized three attacks, all of which were blocked by the Qing army's crossbow arrows and catapults, and the Ming army could not rush out of Yongdaokou.

The Qing army relied on boulders and trees as cover, crossbows and arrows to block the Yongdao, and even threw large stones at the Yongdao crossing with catapults, which made it more difficult to rush out.

Chi Erhan really wanted to go out and stay in the cottage, which made him very aggrieved.

finally got this opportunity, but he couldn't rush out, and he was unwilling.

In a hurry, Chi Erhan made a bold decision.

Ordered four artillery pieces on the cliff to cover it, and equipped more than 100 armor soldiers with iron armor in stock to act as meat shields.

Break through!

After Pinggangshan withdrew from the imperial court, the number of troops was not much, and the total number was only five or six thousand.

In fact, Wu Zheng and Tuan forced Chi Erhan to rush out to contain the Qing army.

Wu Zheng's meaning was just to let Chi Erhan make some noise and contain the Qing army.

In fact, as long as there was an abnormal movement in Pinggang Mountain, the Qing army would not dare to divide its troops to reinforce other places.

However, each person often has a different understanding of the command.

Chi Erhan wanted to go out too much, and under this kind of thinking, he naturally understood Wu Zheng's order as "rush out and do him X".

The iron armor protects the body, and the "clanging" ground can indeed block bows and arrows.

However, the weight of the iron armor limits the flexibility of the soldiers.

Slow-moving soldiers in heavy armor are the most conspicuous targets.

Although the strength of the arrows did not cause them any damage, the Qing army had heavy crossbows and catapults.

When thousands of people followed the heavy armor soldiers to the Yongdao crossing, the Qing army's heavy crossbows and catapults were fired.

A crossbow bolt as thick as an arm strikes the body of the most front-of-the-line heavy soldier.

There was a loud bang on the ground, and the momentum of the crossbow arrows directly knocked the heavy armor soldiers away, knocking over more than a dozen people who followed closely behind.

And then the crossbow arrows continued to be shot, and huge stones smashed down like meteors, with the sound of "whirring" wind.

In an instant, more than 100 ironclad soldiers instantly lost more than 30%.

Chi Erhan's eyes were cracked, and this kind of brother's sacrifice aroused his temper.

At this time, I'm afraid no one can stop him.

Chi Erhan brazenly gave the order for the whole army to charge.

The military order is like a mountain, this is an order to bury all the defenders of Pinggang Mountain.

But at this time, who can stop him?

The corridor is indeed too narrow, and there are less than ten people standing side by side, and the charge of this number of people cannot pose a threat to the enemy outside the corridor at all, and what really plays a threatening role is the four artillery pieces on the cliff wall that are constantly firing.

This avoided the charge and the Ming army was not completely annihilated at Yongdaokou.

But artillery is not a panacea after all, especially after successive shots, it needs to be cooled.

But in the blink of an eye, two or three hundred soldiers fell at the Yongdao crossing, and the soldiers were still rushing out on Chi Erhan's orders.

There were more and more corpses, almost blocking the entrance to the corridor.

Chi Erhan was already crazy at this time, he rushed out with blood-red eyes, and when a heavy crossbow arrow roared at him, he didn't realize it, if it wasn't for the soldiers around him who threw him to the ground desperately, I'm afraid that Chi Erhan would be pierced by the crossbow arrow.

Seeing the tragedy unfolding, the Qing army outside the corridor suddenly became chaotic.

The heavy crossbows were no longer fired, and the catapults were no longer reacting, except for the archers at the forefront who were still shooting, but this could no longer stop the Ming army from swarming out.

In just an instant, the number of Ming troops who rushed out of Yongdaokou was as high as more than 100 people, including Chi Erhan, who was like a madman.

At this moment, he saved the lives of all the Ming troops in Pinggang Mountain, and also saved Chi Erhan.

Chi Erhan even forgot to give the order, so he shouted alone and rushed towards the Qing army, but his fearless momentum also inspired the soldiers of the Ming army.

More than 100 people rushed towards the Qing army like a storm, and more and more soldiers behind them rushed out of the Yongdao crossing.

The situation on the battlefield was turned in an instant.

Who's coming?

Who saved the Ming army of Pinggang Mountain between life and death?

It's a dead man!

A man who has long been martyred.

When the two forces of people and horses were like two torrents, "booming" and merging into one, the Qing army camp was broken through without any suspense.

At this time, even the immortals may not be able to change the defeat of the army, and the Qing army on both wings began to retreat.

……。

When Wu Zheng received the urgent military information from Chen Sheng, he was preparing to cross the river to Lihai.

Because just a moment ago, he received another piece of information at the same time.

A letter, to be exact.

A letter from the traitor Fang Guoan.

Therefore, Chen Sheng's urgent report could no longer shock Wu Zheng.

Fang Guoan said in the letter that he hoped to return to the Ming banner, and explained that the Qing army's attack was not from his order, and Dolgon temporarily transferred 20,000 people from Raozhou Jin Shengheng to Shaoxing Mansion and took over his command, he had lost the command of the Qing army in Shaoxing Prefecture, but if Wu Zheng and Qingtai Dynasty could accept him anyway, he could lead 5,000 old troops under his command to cooperate with the Ming army.

Fang Guoan and his subordinates were placed in the Three Realms by Jin Shengheng, and Fang Guoan hoped that Wu Zheng could send someone to contact him to discuss the resettlement of his return to the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, Fang Guoan pointed out the main deployment position of the Qing army, the Qing army attacking Lihai was originally 20,000 people in Shaoxing Mansion, and the attack on Pinggang Mountain was the general Wang Deren of Jin Shengheng's department, about 6,000 people, and the general army Ke Yongsheng under Jin Shengheng's account was stationed in Guali Pass, about 6,000 people, and Jin Shengheng himself led 8,000 people to sit in Shaoxing Mansion and control the overall situation of the Shaoxing War.

When Wu Zheng saw Fang Guoan's letter, he was indeed shocked, not only shocked, but also shocked.

The Qing army in Shaoxing Mansion suddenly increased by 20,000, so needless to say, to recover Shaoxing Mansion, what I should do is to defend with all my might.

Although in the face of more than 40,000 Qing troops and more than 30,000 people under the command of Wu Zheng, it is not impossible to fight, but such a war of attrition, even if it is won, is meaningless, and for the whole situation, there will be all kinds of harm but no benefit.

Today's Qingtai Dynasty cannot afford to fight a war of attrition with the Qing court.

Therefore, Wu Zheng's first reaction was to quickly withdraw his troops and preserve his strength in order to plan for the future.

Ma Shiying, who was sent by the imperial court to urge Wu Zheng to reinforce Ying Tianfu, privately reminded him that if the troops were withdrawn, the consequence would be that the north bank of the Qiantang River would be threatened by the Qing army, and the naval division had been transferred north, so the Ming army would not be able to control the waters of the Qiantang River, which sounded nothing, but the consequences were very serious.
