Chapter 304: Earn Bolo
Unfortunately, it was too late by this time.
In fact, there was simply no time for the Qing army to react.
"Boom", "boom", "boom", "boom" .......
The continuous explosions almost deafened the ears of the survivors, and for a moment the official road was filled with the sound of ghosts crying and howling.
Crazy...... It's crazy!
Wu Zheng originally arranged gunpowder to break through, but now it is all discarded on the official road.
The niches on those carts contained gunpowder that Wu Zheng had ordered Chen Sheng to hoard in the Pinggang cottage.
Originally, Wu Zheng wanted to lure Duoduo to the northwest of the Three Realms and reenact the scene in front of the landscape at that time, Wu Zheng even imagined that Duoduo would not be lucky again this time, and what he wanted was no longer one of his feet, but his life.
Of course, this is just an assumption, and the most important thing is that Wu Zheng wants to use this batch of gunpowder to cover his own breakthrough.
But the evolution of the situation was completely unexpected by Wu Zheng, not only did Duoduo not come, but also went to block the monarchs and ministers of the imperial court.
Since this is the case, Wu Zheng naturally will not waste this batch of gunpowder, wouldn't it be cheaper to discard it for the Qing army?
Dead horses are treated as live horse doctors, whether there is a rod or not.
So there was this series of explosions that shattered the sky and the earth.
In fact, Wu Zheng asked himself to guess the apology in Qian Sule's eyes.
Qian Sule regretted that he thought too much about himself, thinking that Wu Zheng would take advantage of this to borrow the hands of the Qing army to destroy the Shaoxing Imperial Court.
Qian Sule had even told Zhang Huangyan that if Wu Zheng saw death and did not save him, then he would lead the court officials who accompanied him this time to resolutely break away and go to find Chen Shengbu, even if he died, he would have to die with them.
Indeed, this is a good opportunity for Wu Zheng to stand on his own.
The situation in front of him is very difficult to solve, even if Wu Zheng deliberately pretends not to know, leads the army to leave the Three Realms according to the agreement with Duoduo, and allows Duoduo to connect the imperial court, Qian Sule and they can't say anything.
That's irreproachable.
It's not that Wu Zheng is deliberate, but that Tartar is too cunning.
But Wu Zheng not only thought of it, but also said it.
Not only did he say it, but he also planned to make a desperate bet and desperately reinforce Chen Shengbu.
This made the previous rumors of Wu Zheng's intention to usurp the throne and stand on his own feet were self-defeating.
And Qian Sule, who has always been prejudiced against Wu Zheng, has to apologize for his jealousy and suppression of Wu Zheng.
Qian Sule's jealousy of Wu Zheng was not formed subjectively by Qian Sule, but came from Wu Zheng's "rebellious" words when he was in Zhang Guowei's mansion for the first time.
From that time on, Qian Sule felt that Wu Zheng was an outlier, and he had a guard in his heart.
However, at that time, Wu Zheng was only a small hundred, and he couldn't set off any storms, so Qian Sule listened to it in vain.
But with Wu Zheng's rapid rise through the first battle of Shining Town, it grew rapidly and became out of control, which made Qian Sule more and more worried about Wu Zheng's ambitions.
Even Qian Sule did not hesitate to use his beloved daughter's life as a bargaining chip, hoping to control Wu Zheng with the help of marriage.
But today, Qian Sule suddenly found out that he was wrong, the wind knows the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers, as Wu Zheng himself said, he has a bottom line for the major rights and wrongs.
Therefore, Qian Sule sighed and left without saying a word.
Although the momentum of the series of explosions was huge, for the entire Qing army, the losses were not painful.
First, the roads were no longer crowded, and second, the Qing army marched in two columns, and the power of the explosion was not enough to affect the middle and rear of the Qing army.
With the smoke and dust in the sky, the stumps and broken arms flying around, and the screams of the undead, the sound of rapid horses' hooves gradually overshadowed the chaotic noise before the Qing army came to its senses.
It has to be said that Bolo is very experienced in controlling the battlefield, and he gave the order at the right time - retreat.
This is undoubtedly the most correct choice, at this time, if you reluctantly order the Qing army to attack, then you may be able to block the Ming army's front, but it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
If it is in normal times, it will be a heavy blow, as long as Wu Zheng can be blocked from this shameless person, it doesn't matter if he loses both.
But now, Bolo can't, to be precise, Bolo doesn't dare.
Although the 8,000 or 9,000 men he brought were partial divisions, they accounted for nearly a quarter of the Qing army in Shaoxing, and the cavalry accounted for the majority.
If this army were to be depleted in this battle, then success or failure would affect Dordor to the south.
In other words, even if Wu Zheng's department is completely annihilated, the gains outweigh the losses.
What's more, according to the current situation, the total annihilation of Wu Zheng's department is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
Then, avoiding its edge and conservative strength is the most important thing.
Ordered to retreat, before Wu Zheng's cavalry had not yet contacted, there was still a hundred zhang of smoke and dust in the middle as a cover, although the Qing army retreated in a hurry, but it was quite smooth.
As long as there is no narrow terrain restrictions, it is almost impossible to catch up in a short time.
When the cavalry under Wu Zheng's command crossed the smoke and dust, the Qing army was already two or three miles away.
Wu Zheng stopped the pursuit at the right time, ordered a reversal of direction, and reinforced Chen Sheng's troops.
……。
Under the escort of Chen Sheng's army, the imperial court and his entourage had a fierce battle with the Qing army garrison in Laohuai Village when they left the cottage.
However, after the Qing army of Laohuai Village left with Wu Zheng with Boluo, the army left behind was less than 1,000 people.
Under the onslaught of the 10,000 Ming army, they were instantly defeated and scattered and fled.
Chen Sheng led the army through Laohuai Village smoothly and set off in the northeast direction, aiming at the Shangyu Seaside.
In fact, if Chen Sheng was sophisticated enough, he should be suspicious.
Laohuai Village was the forward position of the Qing army and Pinggang Mountain, how could Duoduo only send less than 1,000 people to defend it?
It is said that if something is abnormal, it must be a demon, but unfortunately Chen Sheng made a mistake.
This mistake almost put the monarch and his family, as well as Wu Xiaomei and Zhou Simin's two daughters, into a desperate situation.
Because at this time, it was when Wu Zheng suddenly found that the number of Qing troops in his companionship was wrong.
Starting from Laohuai Village to Shangyu Seaside, you need to go through hundreds of officials.
Baiguan is an ancient town, it is said that Shun avoids Danzhu here, and Baiguan follows it, so it is called Baiguan.
It is not far from the town of Shining, about twenty or thirty miles.
It is only fifty miles from Baiguan to the sea.
However, the town of Shining is west of Baiguan, and the seaside is east of Baiguan, two completely different directions.
It is said that no book can be written without coincidence, and Duoduo's failure is the failure of this "coincidence".
Duoduo's ambush point was set up in Baiguan Ancient Town.
Shaoxing Mansion is not big, surrounded by only eight counties, excluding a few counties in the opposite direction, and this is the only one that can be selected as the march path of the Ming army.
And Baiguan is the hub on this road.
After Chen Sheng led his army from Pinggang Mountain for more than an hour, they arrived only a few miles away from Baiguan, which was a three-way intersection, with Shining Town to the west and the seaside to the east.
The corners of Duoduo's mouth were already upturned, just waiting for this Ming army to take the initiative to occupy his pocket.
But at this time, Chen Sheng's subordinates and court officials were not at all guarded.
