In the early morning of the next day, the Hangzhou garrison began to cross the river, attacked Xiaoshan, and then advanced to Shaoxingfu.

The garrisons of Jiaxing and Songjiang will move south to the south of Jinshan Weidu, they will go to the port of Lihai, join forces with Chen Shengbu, and then launch a counterattack in the west and north directions with Lihai as the center.

The defense of Hangzhou was garrisoned by the new army.

In Wu Zheng's view, with 20,000 troops, plus the garrisons of Lihai and Pinggangshan, it should not be difficult to attack Fang Guoan's more than 20,000 people.

According to Wu Zheng's estimate, the battle to recover Shaoxing should not drag on for too long, and Wu Zheng also believes that Ying Tianfu can hold out until he recovers Shaoxing and pacifies the rear.

The cause of the outbreak of this war was actually caused by the recital of Dodor.

When Dorgon got the Dordo fold, he was actually very difficult.

The Qing court seems to be magnificent, attacking from multiple directions, but the troops and financial resources it can face are stretched, which is also the biggest headache for the Qing court at the moment.

The point is that there was still a fire in the backyard of the Qing court, and the Mongol tribes seemed to have signs of rebellion.

Dorgon was worried about the lack of soldiers.

But Dordor's twists and turns attracted Dorgon's attention.

Originally, Dolgon did not agree to an armistice with the Qingtai Dynasty, but Hong Chengchou strongly advocated an armistice, first concentrating on the destruction of the Longwu Dynasty in the south, in order to avoid the dispersion of troops, and finally formed a stalemate between the two ends.

Hong Chengchou was deeply favored by the emperor, and Dolgon reluctantly agreed in the end.

But now, the Qingtai Dynasty is a truce, but secretly sent sailors to the south, so that the Qing army suffered such a big dumb loss, it is obvious that it can no longer raise tigers.

Therefore, Dolgon urgently dispatched Jierharang, Tan Tai, He Luohui and others, who were originally going to Sichuan to fight against the remnants of the Great Western Army, and temporarily went to Jiangbei to lead the assembled Qing army, and hastily launched this war.

This was controversial in the Qing court.

The main peace faction led by Hong Chengchou believed that even if the Qingtai Dynasty sent sailors to Fuzhou to participate in the war, after all, there was no evidence, even if they wanted to retaliate, it would have to be carried out secretly, and such a large-scale attack was equivalent to tearing up the previous armistice agreement, and now Duoduo and Lucket Hun were dragged in Fuzhou, unable to attack Guangzhou, opening up a new battlefield, undoubtedly increasing the pressure on the treasury, and at the same time triggering a counterattack of the Qingtai Dynasty.

This is the usual tone of the literati of the Southern Barbarians, knowing that the Qingtai Dynasty has already made a move, they still want to use their people to return the way to their bodies, just fight, why hide it? That's what Dorgon said privately.

Dorgon had a deep relationship with Dord, and in the face of Dordor thousands of miles away, Dorgon subconsciously chose to trust Dordor in his judgment.

Hong Chengchou, who couldn't influence Dolgon's decision, entered the palace and complained to the emperor about Dolgon, but the question was what the Qing Emperor could be Dolgon?

Hong Chengchou's complaint further increased Dolgon's dislike of Hong Chengchou, and the gap between the two had been formed since the time of Huang Taiji.

However, although Dorgon decided to take Dord's advice to fight this battle, he also knew in his heart that with only 110,000 troops, it would be difficult to break through the Yangtze River defense line without a sailor to control the river.

Therefore, his combat intention, as Ma Shiying guessed, was to repair the plank road in the open and cross the Chen Cang secretly.

Crossing the river is fake, attacking Lihai and Pinggang Mountain is incidental, but the real target is Zhenjiang.

Zhenjiang City is still in the hands of the Qing army, but it is only a lonely city surrounded by the Ming army, which cannot achieve the role of nailing into the internal constraints of the Qingtai Dynasty.

But these were not expected by the Qingtai courtiers, including Wu Zheng.

……。

Zhou Dahu, who was already a thousand households, led a group and violently attacked Xiaoshan.

Zhou Dahu was born as a ruffian, but he was righteous.

After helping Wu Zheng in a bloody battle from Shining Town, he had basically identified Wu Zheng.

And Wu Zheng did not disappoint him, in just over a year, he completed the gorgeous transformation from a ruffian to a dignified and upright thousand households.

Zhou Dahu also has one good thing, that is, in addition to morality, he also has self-knowledge.

He knew that among Wu Zheng's henchmen, his status was far inferior to Li Ruhai, Chi Erhan, Song An and others.

Coupled with his background, I'm afraid that the future will stop at thousands of households, and it will be difficult to go up again.

Seeing that the rest of the people who came out of Shining Town together have already been mixed with the commander and deputy commander, if they are not depressed in their hearts, it is a lie, and no matter how open-minded they are, they will compare themselves with the people around them.

Therefore, it is rare to have this opportunity to lead the troops alone, and Zhou Dahu naturally wants to make a future for himself and the cadres and brothers brought out by his subordinates from Shining Town.

The Ming army crossed the river and attracted the main force of the Qing army's river defense in Shaoxing Prefecture.

However, the Qing army in Shaoxing Prefecture was not equipped with artillery, and all the artillery was taken away by Duoduo, and the armistice agreement with the Qingtai Dynasty at that time made the Qing army not realize that this battle would suddenly break out in a short time.

And Dolgon obviously did not regard Shaoxing Mansion as a strategic target for this battle.

Therefore, the war preparations of Shaoxing Mansion were incomplete.

The Ming army's landing across the river was met with limited resistance, and the arrows and crossbows could not block the bank of the Qiantang River, which was so long.

In just one hour, seeing the unstoppable Qing army, they began to retreat in an orderly manner.

The Ming army successfully landed on the south bank of the Qiantang River.

Zhou Dahu did not wait for the whole army to land, but led the vanguard to quickly assault and intersperse to the southeast.

Shaoxing Mansion, for Zhou Dahu and his men, is his home, and who else is more familiar with the terrain and roads than him?

But the deployment of the Qing army is also very accurate.

Guali is a small town, located on the south bank of the Qiantang River and east of Xiaoshan, and is a hub connecting the main roads of Shaoxing Province in the southeast.

Anyone with a little military common sense knows that this kind of official road hub connecting the four directions must be narrow and need to be defended.

But if you take a detour to the Three Realms in the west, you can pass it, but at least it will take half a day.

In Zhou Dahu's view, our army crossed south on three routes and recovered Shaoxing Mansion is basically a matter of dropping out of the field with three fingers and nine out of ten.

If he spends half a day longer, then the first credit will have to be handed over, he knows too well the mentality of people like Li Ruhai, Lu Zhiyu and others, as long as they are allowed to breathe for a while, then they have to drink all the soup, what else is going on with themselves?

Therefore, Zhou Dahu decided to forcibly break through the Guali Pass.

This offensive and defensive battle is the most tragic battle for the recovery of Shaoxing Mansion, and it is also a bright spot.

Both sides were psychologically prepared, and the Qing army was heavily stationed in Guali in order to prevent the Ming army from attacking Shaoxing Mansion.

And Zhou Dahu, who was familiar with the terrain, also knew that the Qing army would definitely be waiting for him in Guali.

Therefore, neither side has the suddenness of the battle.
