Chapter 11 Zu Dabi
Before Bolo did not think that there would be any problems in the two directions of Huzhou and Jiaxing, after all, Huzhou and Jiaxing were mostly Shun people, and Huzhou even took the initiative to dedicate the king of Zhou to make Bolo make a contribution, and unlike Tian Xiong and Haning's Southern Expeditionary Army, Bolo used the real Eight Banners Army in these two directions, and there were thousands of Eight Banners Army participating in the war There are still famous cities in the world that cannot be taken.
The commander of the Qing army in Huzhou is Zu Dabi, who is known as the "Zu Er Maniac", and is also the younger brother of Zu Dashou, this Zu Maniac has caused countless troubles to the Qing army when he was in the Ming army's camp, and famous generals like him have joined the Qing army, which naturally means that the Ming country has exhausted its strength.
After Zu Dabi entered the customs, he also made countless military exploits for the Qing Dynasty and could not turn back, so after the change in Huzhou, Boluo asked Zu Dabi to take thousands of Eight Banners Han Army and Green Camp Army to recover Huzhou as soon as possible, Zu Dabi also said in front of Bolo that he would definitely take Huzhou, and originally thought that it would only take one or two days to complete it.
But no one expected that Zu Dabi with thousands of Eight Banners Han Army and the newly attached Green Battalion Army not only did not take the small Huzhou City, but was defeated because of the sudden Jinhua thieves, which made Bo Luo worry about the Eight Banners Army in the direction of Jiaxing.
Don't look at the 40,000 troops under his command, but the real trustworthy are these Eight Banner Army, if the Eight Banner Army is defeated, I am afraid that the remaining Green Camp Army will collapse without a fight.
Although part of the Eight Banners Army participated in the Battle of Jiangnan, the main force was still Tian Xiong's Green Battalion soldiers, so they could fool the past, but the main force of the Battle of Huzhou was Zu Dabi's Eight Banners Han Army, which was already difficult to fool the past, and the 3,000 armor soldiers in the direction of Jiaxing were all real Manchurian Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners.
Therefore, Bolo's forehead oozed sweat for the first time, and Tian Xiong said for the first time: "Baylor, hurry up and ask Prince Yu for help, if he doesn't send troops to rescue us, I'm afraid it will be a situation where the whole of Zhejiang will fall!"
Although Bo Luo felt that the situation was not as serious as Tian Xiong said, after all, in addition to Jiaxing and Huzhou, there were 30,000 troops under his command, but at this moment he was also messed up: "Let's take a look at the situation in Jiaxing first, we can't mess with ourselves first!"
It's just that Bo Luo has just made up his mind, and bad news has come from Xiaoshan in the south: "Jinhua thieves Liu Yongxi, Wang Zhiren, Xing Shengping, and Yu Huang have crossed the Qiantang River in a big way, and they are now besieging the Qing Dynasty forces near Xianghu!"
Bolo's expression has never been so ugly, although he still has 30,000 troops under his command and there are 3,000 strong troops in Jiaxing, but he roared loudly: "Support, support, let Prince Yu hurry up to support our Hangzhou Mansion, Nanjing must support us, otherwise they can only collect our corpses!"
The huge failure of Huzhou Mansion has made Bolo a little nervous.
As for Zhang Boyang, who was ordered to pass through Huzhou, he didn't feel that he had won much victory, on the contrary, he became as careful as Boluo in Hangzhou: "Although Zu Dabi has been defeated, everyone must be careful that this traitor may kill a horse gun!"
Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi brothers are all famous generals in the world, Zhang Boyang heard the story of the Zu brothers' achievements when he was a teenager, but he didn't expect that now he has become an opponent on the battlefield with his teenage idol, so he also attaches great importance to his opponent, and is always worried that Zu Dabi will go and return.
And Fei Hongji and the others beside him saw Zhang Boyang so cautious and couldn't help but persuade: "General Zhang, don't worry, even if Zu Dabi comes back after killing a horse pistol, with the strength of your and my armies, he can be on an equal footing with Jianyudou!"
Among the righteous armies of the Zhulu in the south of the Yangtze River, the Huzhou Righteous Army is a relatively special existence, most of the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River are a rabble of temporary uprisings, even if they occupy the city, they are also spinning and losing, and the Qing army will immediately break the city in one or two days even if they do not use red-clothed artillery, so most of the righteous divisions insist on a very short time, and the only ones who can still hold on for a long time under the siege of the Qing army's heavy troops are the Jinsheng Department and the Jiangyin Righteous Army in southern Anhui.
However, due to the addition of a large number of regular troops of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Huzhou Righteous Army held out for a full fifteen days under the siege of Zu Dabi's thousands of Han troops and the Green Camp Army, and regained Huzhou Mansion again at the end of July after the first loss of Huzhou Mansion, coupled with the extreme importance of Huzhou, Liu Yongxi deliberately let Zhang Boyang be in charge of passing through Huzhou Mansion at the suggestion of Empress Zhang.
Among the old people in Jingkou Town, Zhang Boyang has always been said to be an inconspicuous existence, and the reason why he was able to become one of the oldest sentinels under Liu Yongxi's command was not because he had made many great achievements, but because he was a distant relative of Taikang Hou, and Zhang Boyang took the initiative to stay in the capital when Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang and Taikang Hou went out of Beijing and Nandu, and did not show any flaws.
For a long time in the future, Zhang Boyang took on the heavy responsibility of staying behind, whether it was Liu Yongxi or Empress Zhang, they all felt that Zhang Boyang was his own person and worthy of trust, but this time Liu Yongxi handed over the heavy responsibility of Jingluo Huzhou Mansion and the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion to Zhang Boyang.
Zhang Boyang is also the first time to take on such a heavy responsibility, after all, the number of men and horses under his command is already equivalent to that of Jiangxi Governor Zhang Sunfan, so he was very frightened and took the initiative to ask Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang to take back their lives, but Empress Zhang attached great importance to him: "Boyang, is this important task more difficult than staying in Beijing at the beginning?" Although it is an order from the Duke of Yue, it is my idea, this time our Zhang family wants to impress everyone!"
With the trust of Empress Zhang, Zhang Boyang naturally did not dare to take it lightly, so after crossing the river, although there were many good fighters and opportunities to incorporate the rebels, Zhang Boyang gave all the opportunities to the friendly army, and he didn't care about anything except rushing all the way to Huzhou.
At this time, the battle between the Qing army and the Huzhou Righteous Army under Zu Dabi has entered a white-hot level, seeing the two sides fighting a series of battles under the city of Huzhou, many old people who are familiar with Zhang Boyang thought that he would take a wait-and-see attitude, and wait until Zu Dabi and the Huzhou Righteous Army were both defeated and then come out to pick up the cheap, but no one expected that Zhang Boyi was very tired of running hundreds of miles without caring about the troops: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and now is the time for a showdown!"
Zhang Boyi was no longer as cautious as usual, but ordered the officers and soldiers of the five battalions to kill directly towards the camp of the Qing army, and the Qing army did not expect that the legendary "Jinhua thief" suddenly came out from behind and became in a hurry for a while, and when they reacted, the righteous army in Huzhou City had already found that the reinforcements had arrived, so they naturally did not hesitate to go out of the city to respond.
