Chapter 306: The Three Realms Are Blocked
That is to say, from the moment Wu Zheng gave the order to turn, the distance between the enemy and us was at least more than forty miles.
This distance was enough for the reinforcement of Chen Sheng's troops.
But Wu Zheng knew in his heart that these forty miles were definitely not a safe distance.
As long as the Ming army is delayed by the enemy at any time, these forty miles will only be a pillar of incense time for the cavalry under Bolo's command to catch up.
The gunpowder of the official road made the Qing army suffer a loss, but the casualties were not large, at most not more than 10%.
Such losses were almost negligible for this cavalry.
It didn't cause too much panic, because the people who should have panicked were killed on the spot.
What is left behind is at most palpitating.
Therefore, in order to rush for time, Wu Zheng immediately ordered to move forward at full speed.
……。
Looking back, I need to talk about Qian Sule and Zhang Huang's words and deeds that were separated from Wu Zheng.
When the gunpowder of the official road was detonated, Wu Zheng divided a cavalry of 300 people to escort Qian Sule and his party to break through in the direction of the Three Realms and Shengxian.
Three hundred cavalry, even if they encounter twice as many enemies as themselves, are not without the power to fight back.
For Shengxian County, which is tens of miles away from the northwest of the Three Realms, with these three hundred cavalry escorts, it is indeed enough under normal circumstances.
No one expected that the Qing army would be stationed in the Three Realms.
No, to be precise, it was not expected that the Qing army would still be stationed in the Three Realms.
In fact, Duoduo and Bolo did not have the intention of setting up an ambush in the Three Realms subjectively.
It stands to reason that Bolo led eight or nine thousand people to "escort" the Ming army across the Three Realms, and even if there were soldiers in the Three Realms, they should have been transferred, because the Qing army's strength was not strong.
The Three Realms are actually not big, with a radius of less than ten miles, and are located in a small plain sandwiched between mountains and rivers by rivers and rivers.
Therefore, even if they are hoarded, there will not be many people.
But because of this, the terrain of the Three Realms is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not suitable for large-scale operations.
The Qing army in the Three Realms is indeed not much, only a hundred people, this is a garrison that has been "forgotten" for a while after the transfer of troops.
But these 100 people caused big trouble to the Ming army who escorted Qian Sule and his party.
Since last year, when the Lianghu Thousand Households were here, the "treacherous plan" that Shen Zhiyuan came up with to defeat the Qing cavalry, the simple fortifications of the Three Realms have always existed.
After the Qing army occupied Shaoxing Mansion, although it was not reinforced, it was not demolished.
In other words, these fortifications were built by Wu Zhengbu himself in order to cope with the charge of the enemy's cavalry.
The official road must pass through the place, all wooden fences, thistles terrestris, at least 60 of the 100 Qing troops have archers, according to the official road side of the hillside, overlooking the official road, enough to block the passage of the Ming army.
Therefore, when the Ming army entered the area of the official road, they were caught off guard by the arrows of the Qing army.
Under one face, more than ten people were killed and wounded.
Fortunately, the cavalry of the Ming army was in front, and Qian Sule and his party were in the middle, otherwise, this sudden blow alone was enough to make Wu Zheng regret it for life.
Qian Sule wanted to speak in front of Wu Zheng before, but it was not as Wu Zheng guessed, and he felt guilty in his heart.
But...... Qian Jinxuan was also among the pedestrians.
Qian Jinxuan, Qian Sule's only daughter, is the woman who was stopped before Wu Zheng was about to return to Hangzhou to board the ship.
Wu Zheng didn't even see her face, but it is undeniable that she is Wu Zheng's wife in name.
It stands to reason that Qian Jinxuan should not appear in this group, Qian Sule and Zhang Huangyan are to confuse Duoduo and Bolo, but Qian Jinxuan should follow Zhu Yujiao and his party.
Needless to say, Wu Zheng didn't know about this matter, and even Qian Sule didn't agree with it.
But Qian Jinxuan insisted, she only used one sentence to persuade her father Qian Sule - marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog.
Since Wu Zheng's trip is dangerous, she should stay by Wu Zheng's side, shouldn't his wife be like this?
If Wu Zheng knew this, he would be in the past.
But the Qian family, from Lao Tzu to son to daughter, is all such a temper.
Don't really say it, Qian Sule will eat this.
Reason, greater than life.
Therefore, Qian Jinxuan hid in the carriage and blended into the army.
But when Wu Zheng realized that there was a problem with the strength of the Qing army, his plan had changed, and he was going to start a war with the Qing army, Qian Sule was worried.
Originally, it was considered that Wu Zheng led the cavalry, and under normal circumstances, as long as the Qing army knew that Wu Zheng was not escorting the imperial court, the Qing army would not attack desperately.
Because that would be useless, even if Wu Zhengbu was annihilated, Duoduo would not be able to get Zhu Yujiao and the others.
It would be in the best interest of both sides to fight for both sides, after all, the armistice agreement between the two sides is still in effect.
Therefore, in Qian Sule's thinking, Qian Jinxuan's accompaniment is thrilling.
But the change of plan has made the original consideration nonsense.
Qian Sule hesitated whether to reveal the matter to Wu Zheng, but Qian Jinxuan refused.
This time, Qian Jinxuan persuaded her father with one sentence - telling Wu Zheng that it messed up his heart, so it was better not to say it!
Qian Sule felt reasonable, but in front of Wu Zheng, Qian Sule still wanted to speak, after all, as a father, he didn't want to lose his only daughter.
When the words came to his lips, Qian Sule didn't say it after all.
Because he knew that Qian Jinxuan was right, letting Wu Zheng know about this at this time would only increase his distraction.
In Qian Sule's heart, the safety of Zhu Yujiao and the court is still more important than ...... My daughter is safe.
Since Wu Zheng has the heart to reinforce the imperial court, how can he influence Wu Zheng's decision for the sake of his family?
This is exactly the loyalty of Qian Sule, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty.
It wasn't until he was attacked by the Qing army of the Three Realms that Qian Sule told the matter.
And when he said it, he didn't say it to Song An, but said it privately with Zhang Huangyan.
When Zhang Huang heard this, he was furious, and rebuked Qian Sule and said: "Lord Qian is so confused! Can you hide this kind of thing from me and Wu Zheng? Do you know, if Ling Yuan has a good one, how can we face Wu Zheng who desperately rescues His Highness? ”
Qian Sule was really upset at this time, and let Zhang Huangyan scold, "Xuanzhu, it's not that Qian is deliberately hiding it, it's just ...... It's just that I'm afraid that if Wu Zheng knows that Xuan'er is here, it is very likely that he will not go to reinforce His Highness, so why won't His Highness be in danger? ”
Zhang Huangyan was so angry that Qian Sule stomped his feet, "Lord Qian, Lord Qian, you Mo Dao is the only one in this world who is a righteous gentleman, and Mo Dao has no loyal people in this world except for you Lord Qian." To this day, don't you understand Wu Zhengzhi's loyalty? If he had a different heart, how could he let his sister Wu and his wife Zhou go with His Royal Highness? Even if you tell Wu Zheng Lingyuan that he is here, he will definitely not put His Highness's safety at risk! ”
Qian's face was miserable, "It's okay...... At this time, I also asked Xuan Zhu to get an idea for me. ”
Zhang Huangyan calmed down, thought for a while, and said: "Now that Wu Zheng must have led his troops to turn to the hundred officials, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up if I want to retreat." It is even more impossible to return to Pinggang Cottage, maybe the Qing army has already reinforced Laohuai Village, and it happened to collide when they went back. Then there is only one way. ”
