Wu Zheng sighed in his heart, and bowed his hand to Queen Zeng: "Please take the queen." ”

Empress Zeng glanced at Wu Zheng, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

It's just that she didn't speak, just lowered her head and turned to the sedan chair.

At this time, Huang Daozhou also came forward to lead Empress Zeng to drive.

The group then left, returned to the official road, and went to the port.

At this point, Wu Zheng's goal has been achieved, originally it was supposed to take Zhu Yujian to the port, and then leave the port to the sea, the Qing army has no sailors, then it is safe.

But as Wu Zheng said, how could the Qing army let Zhu Yujian escape?

At this time, Li Chengdong had already led the main force to Fuzhou City, and heard that a Ming army of unknown origin rescued Zhu Yujian and fled to the port.

If there were no Zhu Yujian, Empress Zeng and concubines, it stands to reason that the cavalry of Wu Zhengsuo's troops who had retreated, Li Chengdong would not be able to catch up even if he put on his wings.

The distance from Fuzhou is 100 miles, and when Li Chengdong arrives, Wu Zheng will take the boat in the morning.

But there is no such thing as ifs, and the sedan chair of Zhu Yujian and others greatly slowed down the march.

Without any suspense, Wu Zheng's headquarters was more than ten miles away from the port and was caught up by the Qing soldiers.

It's like it's predestined.

If it weren't for Li Chengdong leading the army to chase after him, Wu Zheng would not have lost control and touched a stone with an egg.

In this assault, Wu Zheng only led a thousand cavalry.

This thousand cavalry is also the limit of what the fleet can carry in this southward journey.

The weight of a war horse alone is eight to ten soldiers, not to mention all kinds of equipment.

led a thousand cavalry to break into Fuzhou, which was the result of Wu Zheng's discussion with Zhang Mingzhen.

The Qing army is now advancing vigorously, occupying all counties and key passes, and the forces are quite scattered, and it is difficult to gather enough troops to threaten a thousand cavalry in one day, and it is absolutely impossible to expect the Qingtai Dynasty to cross the sea and participate in the battle.

Therefore, it seems that a small number of cavalry can rush forward, but in fact it is the most suitable, you can attack, you can retreat, as long as you don't love to fight, the speed of cavalry is enough to deal with all emergencies.

But Wu Zheng and Zhang Mingzhen could not have predicted that Li Chengdong, as the coach of one side, would personally lead the striker to pursue.

When Wu Zheng heard that it was Li Chengdong who was chasing, the situation began to get out of control.

The three words Li Chengdong are like a nightmare that haunts Wu Zheng all the time.

Wu Zhifan's glimpse before the battle was still deeply imprinted in Wu Zheng's mind.

The kind of fear of looking at the corpses and severed arms in the city, smelling the rotting corpses in the city, and the fear between life and death is like a lingering nightmare, gnawing Wu Zheng's heart, and every time he thinks about it, he will retch.

All of this is thanks to Li Chengdong, in Wu Zheng's heart, killing Li Chengdong is to end the nightmare that has plagued him for two years.

This battle broke out almost suddenly.

The cavalry officers and men were not prepared at all to fight this battle with no chance of winning.

The cavalry of the Qing army, including Li Chengdong, did not expect that the cavalry of the Ming army would find their own way to die and reflexively assault.

When the two armies encountered, although the brave won when they met on a narrow road, there was a degree in everything, and with one thousand against three thousand, there was almost no chance of victory in the absence of a surprise attack.

As Wu Zheng said before the battle to boost morale, "It is Li Chengdong, the culprit of the three massacres of Jiading that day, who is chasing him, and those who dare to die will kill this thief with me." ”

Without the slightest suspense, the Qing cavalry, which was hastily penetrated by Wu Zheng's department, quickly closed from both sides after a short panic.

When Wu Zheng was closest to Li Chengdong, he was only a hundred steps away, but he was close to the end of the world.

Can't get through.

Li Chengdong has long cheeks, but he has a kind face, and if he walks on the road in civilian clothes, everyone will think that he is a kind person.

But his heart was full of anger, and when he recovered from the initial shock, he gave the order to completely annihilate the Ming army.

Everyone was red-eyed.

Whether it is the Ming army or the Qing army.

Suddenly, the battle seemed to turn into a battle for honor, a fight for honor.

It's as if defeating your opponent at this point can change the tide of the battle.

Wu Zheng was full of fighting spirit on the blood in front of him, and the fierce battle of nearly a pillar of incense did not exhaust his strength at all, and he still felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Attack vigorously in the direction where Li Chengdong is, and then attack.

I don't know how many people fell under Wu Zheng's knife, and the knife in his hand has been changed three times.

Every time the blade was rolled, someone silently handed over a knife.

Wu Zheng was very comfortable and satisfied.

"Here comes the knife." But this time, the knife was not handed over.

Wielding a knife to cut off the head of a Qing soldier, Wu Zheng shouted loudly, but did not respond for a long time.

Wu Zheng turned his head and glanced at it in confusion, and this glance made his heart cold.

There were only a few dozen people behind him, and they had been dragged down by the Qing army, and they were caught in a bitter battle.

"My lord, let's withdraw!" One of the guards almost cried out these words, and then was slashed by the Qing army and fell in a pool of blood.

Wu Zheng was awakened by this scene, and looking at Li Chengdong, who could already see his facial features clearly in the distance, Wu Zheng finally woke up.

With a loud shout, he cut down a Qing army who wanted to saveball and stab himself, and Wu Zheng retreated while swinging his knife.

But at this time, where is there a way back?

After a lot of hardships, he got close to the dozens of guards behind him, looking at the Qing army that was surrounded more and more, Wu Zheng felt a thick pathos and exhaustion.

This result was unexpected by Wu Zheng, who overestimated the combat strength of himself and his cavalry.

The successive victories and the recovery of Ying Tianfu boosted Wu Zheng's blind self-confidence.

He thought that the cavalry under his command tempered by the war was enough to compete with the Qing army, or even higher than the Qing army.

Surprise was Wu Zheng's basic tactical thinking in launching this assault war, and his purpose was to drag Li Chengdong, attract Li Chengdong, and then use naval artillery to kill Li Chengdong.

He wanted to repeat the scene in Hangzhou City, using himself and Longwu as bait, and after hurting Li Chengdong, he would lure the enemy deeper.

Wu Zheng never thought of killing himself, what he wanted from beginning to end was victory.

But it turned out that Wu Zheng was wrong and thought too much.

Li Chengdong is far from being as imminent as he imagined, and the cavalry under his command is also a veteran of a hundred battles.

But at this time, it was obviously too late, Wu Zheng looked at the only remaining guards around him guiltily, and the majestic figure of his uncle in Jiading City appeared in front of him, "Let's go, this official is your palace." ”

Uncle also said this, Wu Zheng just repeated it from memory, but he couldn't say it so tragic.

But the reactions of the soldiers around him were strikingly similar.

The guards shouted in unison: "Your Excellency will go first, and I will wait for your majesty." ”

After this sound, the guards mustered up their last strength and opened a passage for Wu Zheng, but unfortunately, the number of people was too small, and the distance of this passage would never exceed five zhang.

The passage only lasted for a few breaths, and even if you wanted to, you couldn't go.

For this passage, there were more than a dozen fewer guards around Wu Zheng.
