ps: Thank you for the reward of "Ancient Overhaul".

Wu Zheng quickly ordered to close the city gate and arrest Hong Chengchou.

But after some hectic work, there was no gain.

It was learned from a captured guard that when the city tower collapsed, Hong Chengchou had been stunned by the explosion.

But he had sober guards by his side, who forcibly moved him away and let him escape.

After that, he was taken hostage and escaped from the city in a carriage.

Wu Zheng was disappointed, and angrily ordered: "Kill all the Qing troops in the city, and leave no one behind." ”

So the 2,000 cavalry turned back again, and together with Song An's troops, they attacked the thousands of Tartars who had been withdrawn from the city wall, and all of them were annihilated.

In this battle, the Ming army defeated more than 10,000 defenders of Changzhou City with more than 1,000 casualties and occupied Changzhou City.

The most tragic casualties were the Banche battalion of the people of Jiangyin, which attracted the most intensive firepower of the defenders, followed by Sun Zhaokui, Shen Zibing, and Shen Zijiao's first camp, Sun Zhaokui was seriously wounded, Shen Ziqian was killed, and the first camp lost nearly half.

The recovery of Changzhou means that the door to Yingtianfu has been opened.

But the forces in Wu Zheng's hands have been exhausted, with a total strength of less than 5,000 people, and it is no longer possible to attack the fortified city of Yingtianfu.

Just when Wu Zheng was distressed, the good news came.

A team of scouts came to deliver the message, and the general soldier Lu Zhiyu led the army to break through the Ningguo Mansion, and was going north according to the previous order of Wu Zheng to attack the Taiping Mansion.

This news lifted Wu Zheng's spirits.

When the Northern Expedition was decided, Wu Zheng's order to Lu Zhiyu was that if the Qing army ignored it, it would occupy Ningguofu and at the same time march north along the river to force Yingtianfu. If the Qing army is reinforced, then the main force of the Qing army will be dragged to Ningguofu to reduce the resistance for their northern expedition.

Now that he has successfully occupied Changzhou Mansion, if Lu Zhiyu can capture Taiping Mansion, then he will be able to attack Yingtianfu with his own east and west, and if he adds the Renshui army of the prince of Xingguo to advance along the west, it is really possible to capture Yingtianfu.

After Wu Zheng asked the scout about the casualties of the Lu Zhiyu Division, he immediately ordered him to urgently send his own orders, ordering the Lu Zhiyu to attack the Taiping Mansion as soon as possible, and once he succeeded, march to Ying Tianfu.

At the same time, Wu Zheng sent a messenger to send a message to the prince of Xingguo, asking him to lead the naval army to the west, and capture Zhenjiang Mansion with a strong infantry force, and cooperate with his plan to attack Yingtianfu.

……。

The post pavilion is still in a bloody battle.

Outside the post pavilion city, Bolo did not plan to entangle with the Ming army.

Bolo's two attacks were frustrated and did not let him lose his senses.

Before coming, he still knew the approximate troop information of Shaoxing Mansion.

Yiting plus Fenghui, the Ming army in these two places has reached the limit of the strength of Shaoxing Mansion.

Now this unseemly miscellaneous army may be the last trace of strength in Shaoxing Mansion, in that case, why entangle with them?

Bo Luo keenly guessed that Shaoxing Mansion was likely to be an undefended city now, and in terms of taking Shaoxing Mansion, the weight of thousands of Ming troops in front of him was light, even if the Yiting City Defense was stronger, it didn't matter.

After all, there are more than 10,000 troops attacking Duoduo in the north, even if it is not captured, Shaoxing Mansion is half a day's journey away from the cavalry here.

Thinking of this, he quickly ordered the whole army to move west and go straight to Shaoxing Mansion.

Zhang Guowei and the others saw Bolo leading the army westward, and realized Bolo's intentions, they were dumbfounded, they didn't expect this ending.

But fortunately, the people and things that should be evacuated in Shaoxing Mansion have been withdrawn, leaving only an empty city, of course, the people are still there.

But now, they can't take care of it anymore.

Bolo's turn made the Ming army outside the city smoothly enter the post pavilion pass.

When the defenders of the post pavilion saw that the imperial court had really sent reinforcements, and that King Lu and the important ministers had come in person, they were all overjoyed and their morale was greatly boosted.

But Zhang Huangyan learned that Bo Luo waved his army straight to Shaoxing Mansion, and smiled bitterly.

Stick to the post pavilion, in order to hold the Shaoxing Mansion, but now the imperial court has abandoned the Shaoxing Mansion and tried its best to come to the post pavilion for reinforcements, so what is the meaning of guarding the post pavilion?

I am afraid that even children know this truth.

After Zhang Huangyan spoke clearly with Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule and others, Zhang Guowei and others realized that they might be really wrong.

Although no one expected that Bolo and the cavalry had bypassed the post pavilion, this was also an uncontrollable thing, because even if the Ming army led by Zhang Guowei was still in Shaoxing Mansion, I am afraid that it would not be able to stop the strong attack of Bolo's cavalry.

Now that things have come to this point, it's useless to say anything.

The only solution at the moment is not to let Bolo and Duoduo fight on both sides.

But this is impossible, it is easy for Boluo to take Shaoxing Mansion, so he will naturally come to the post pavilion again to help Duoduo break the city.

Moreover, with the small point of the post pavilion, it is impossible to support the long-term war of resistance.

Zhang Huangyan suggested transferring, which was the first time he proposed transferring.

Zhang Huangyan asked Zhang Guowei and Qian Sule to take Zhu Yihai and a number of officials to Fenghui, only the two armies would meet, and there might be a possibility of fighting with the Qing army, otherwise they would definitely be defeated one by one.

Zhang Guowei and Qian Sule agreed with Zhang Huangyan's suggestion, but did not agree with Zhang Huangyan to stay in the palace, everyone knows that the word "palace" is sacrifice.

Qian Sule said resolutely: "Qian Mou has had the intention of martyrdom since the beginning of the incident, and when the court is falling today, how can he steal his life, Zhang Cangshui, you are still young, you still need talented people like you to clean up the broken mountains and rivers, no one should fight with me, I will stay." ”

Zhang Huangyan was about to defend himself, but Zhang Guowei raised his hand to stop him and said: "Xuanzhu, Brother Xisheng is right, among the three of us, I am the eldest, since this is the case, this matter belongs to me." ”

Qian Sule was stunned for a moment, and then came back and said, "Yudi, I didn't mean ...... that. ”

Zhang Guowei smiled and said: "The old man naturally knows, you hope that your brother is not such a person." But the current situation, only I am the most suitable, in terms of official position, I am the secretary of the military department, dare to ask you, can the elder brother of Xisheng command the soldiers and horses in this city? ”

Qian Sule was dumbfounded.

Zhang Huangyan said hurriedly: "Lord Zhang......." ”

Zhang Guowei blocked Zhang Huangyan's words again, and said: "Xuanzhu, you and I are both people who go to the country, why bother with my mother-in-law, the last time the thief attacked Shaoxing, I have already been martyred with this body, at this time, do you also rob me?" You are alive, more useful than me, Jiangbei Wu Zheng, openly disobeyed, insisted on the Northern Expedition, in the old man's opinion, there is indeed a generation of famous generals, recovering the broken mountains and rivers, you need such talents, but he is young and vigorous, and he acts too recklessly, and you need to take care of it. ”

When Zhang Huangyan heard this, tears fell down, he suddenly bowed to Zhang Guowei and fell to the ground, crying: "Zhang Gong has a lot of lives, Huang Yan keeps it in mind, even if he is broken, Huang Yan will definitely recover the rivers and mountains for the Ming Dynasty." ”
