Chapter 452: The Last Qing Army in Shaoxing Mansion is Annihilated

Ke Yongsheng was too nervous, and with the desire to break through the post pavilion in his heart, this obsession affected his judgment.

Just imagine, the small Shaoxing Mansion has become a pot of porridge, even if there is no defense in the Yiting City, it is common sense to be on guard in shifts and scouts and reconnaissance, how can more than 10,000 enemies approach the outside of the Yiting City without knowing?

The desire in Ke Yongsheng's heart made him lose his mind, and thus put more than 10,000 troops into a dead end.

There were indeed only 5,000 defenders in the city.

Among them, 2,000 people were the Pinggangshan army under Chi Erhan left by Zhang Guowei, they were infantry, and they were hiding behind the battlements at the south gate at this time, with their backs to the battlements, holding their bows and waiting to be shot.

With his back to the battlements and his bow pointing diagonally to the sky, there is nothing wrong with this, as long as an order is given, the soldier can get up, and then turn around and let go, and the arrow can break through the air, which is the fastest archery speed in ambush warfare.

Beside them, there were soldiers who were stooping and shrunken their heads, holding everything in their hands, such as stones, cans of oil, gunpowder, etc., and the soldiers holding torches behind them, and the people preparing to light the fires on the side, their hands trembled slightly with nervousness.

On the corner of the city wall, more than ten bed crossbows have been twisted and ready to go, and on the arrow shaft frame, the arrow shaft with a thick arm tilts downward, forming a cross on both sides.

There was silence at the west gate, with only two scouts on the city walls, constantly probing and then sending messages to the city with pennants.

Behind the West City Gate, there was a black crowd, this was a cavalry, the real butcher's knife of this battle.

It can be seen from the cavalry bundle that this is a nirvana, waiting for the Qing army to take the initiative to enter the urn.

If Ke Yongsheng saw this scene, he would regret it and hit his head to death.

The battle was fought from the south gate, and when the Qing army approached the wall a hundred paces, the Ming army in ambush on the city wall quickly got up and shot arrows.

But the density of arrows was not enough, although it overturned hundreds of Qing troops, but the Qing army's charging posture could not be contained.

After two rounds of bows and arrows, the Qing army was already close to the city wall, which was only two people high, and could climb the edge of the city as long as they stepped on others.

At this time, the stones, oil cans, and gunpowder cans of the Ming soldiers played a deterrent role in the Qing army's climbing the wall.

But the Qing army is still climbing frantically.

And the follow-up archers of the Qing army began to suppress the Ming archers on the city wall.

At this time, the Qing army attacking the West Gate rushed to 500 steps outside the West Gate.

Ke Yongsheng, who was in charge of the battlefield, had a calm face, and it was expected that he was blocked, and it was the Ming army that blocked the attack as scheduled, which matched Ke Yongsheng's thoughts, which shows that the Ming army did not deploy heavy troops, because if there are heavy troops, it should not be a passive defense, but should take the initiative to attack to expand the depth of defense, that is to say, at least one Ming army must be free from the city as a maneuver.

Now the Ming army adopts passive defense, which is in line with their judgment of the insufficient strength of the defenders.

Looking at the battle at the south gate, the Qing army at the west gate was already close to the city wall, and as a result, Ke Yongsheng put down half of the big stone in his heart.

But Ke Yongsheng couldn't help but be happy too early.

The south gate is directly connected to Shangyu Baiguan, the first to receive the enemy, Wu Zheng's deployment, is to use the south gate to contain the Qing army, and from the west gate, the cavalry to break through, and then form a south and west flank attack.

In other words, the south gate is a cutting board, while the west gate is a kitchen knife, a kitchen knife for chopping meat.

When the Qing army reached 500 steps in front of the city, the west gate opened.

The five columns of cavalry quickly rushed out, and as soon as they left the city gate, they accelerated to spread left and right, and began to outflank the Qing army that was rushing in.

Cavalry!

God knows what kind of shock and fear the Qing soldiers were in their hearts at this time, maybe thousands of grassland beasts floated by in an instant.

The forward soldiers of the Qing army suddenly stopped their forward steps, causing the soldiers behind to collide together, and the formation began to be chaotic.

How can it not be confusing?

During the siege, it is rare for the defenders to take the initiative to attack, because once the defenders open the city, then it is equivalent to a desperate gamble, and if it is not successful, it will be a success.

Once defeated, it will be difficult for the army that has gone out to go back, and if it is forced to withdraw, it will have to bear the enemy's follow, and then the city will be broken.

Therefore, at the time of engagement, the probability of the defenders taking the initiative to attack is very low, so low that it can be ignored.

What's more, it was the cavalry who went out of the city, and in this situation, the unsuspecting infantry was a scarecrow used to train the cavalry to wield a knife in front of the cavalry.

Although the archers in the rear of the Qing army reacted quickly and turned their target from the city to the cavalry, the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and the left and right scattered, and in a hurry, the Qing archers could not effectively suppress the city gate.

At this time, the cavalry no longer needs to arrange troops, and it is a waste of time to waste time to adjust the charging formation when they can be directly crushed.

In the blink of an eye, the Ming cavalry had begun to charge the besieging Qing army.

The Qing army's forward quickly collapsed and fled backwards, and the front soldiers collided with the rear soldiers, causing great chaos.

But the cavalry of the Ming army drove unhurriedly, except for killing some backward Qing troops, it seemed that they had no intention of accelerating the charge.

This kind of accident gave the Qing soldiers hope of escaping death, and as a result, a scene of all the people turning around and fleeing occurred.

The forward hit the rear army, and the rear army had to turn around and join the rout, and then the entire attacking force crashed into Ke Yongsheng's Chinese army, while the Ming cavalry was constantly driving behind, and whoever ran slowly and fell, it was a knife cut, which forced the Qing army to flee faster, and the impact of the backwards was even more unstoppable.

"Inverted bead blinds?! Who is in command of the Ming army? Ke Yongsheng was already stunned, he understood that even with the help of the gods at this time, it would be difficult to change the outcome of this battle.

The pro-soldiers beside Ke Yongsheng stepped forward and hurriedly said: "Chief soldier, withdraw!" ”

Ke Yongsheng laughed miserably: "Where to retreat? ”

The guards were gloomy, yes, where to retreat?

The entire Shaoxing Mansion is already the world of the Ming army, where to retreat?

Although the defeat was decided, Ke Yongsheng still chose to fight to the death, but he gave up Ximen, since Ximen was no longer possible, then put all the chips to the south gate.

Ke Yongsheng took his thousand guards and quickly rushed to the south gate.

But Ke Yongsheng made a mistake in a hurry, he didn't take into account that his Chinese army moved, which was equivalent to giving the Qing army a kind of guidance.

The commander's escape to the south gate made the fleeing Qing army subconsciously change direction.

So this chaotic army poured south like a tide.

Ke Yongsheng only reacted at this time, but the big mistake had already been made, and it was difficult to unrecover.

At this time, Ke Yongsheng's order didn't work at all, and he wanted to cry without tears, Ke Yongsheng roared frantically, suddenly pulled out the knife from the sheath, and crossed his neck.

The guards beside him reacted quickly, jumped up, and snatched the knife in Ke Yongsheng's hand.

"Dashuai, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood."

Ke Yongsheng, who was held hostage by his personal guards, began to flee in the southeast direction, and that direction was Yuyao.
