Seven bucket bows, eight bucket bows, god arm bows, bed crossbows, arrows, crossbow arrows, and large arrows.

The long-range weapons that the Great Zhou army relied on the most killed and wounded hundreds of people in the time of half a burnt incense.

After the elite of the Fang La army, which was less than five hundred people left, was stunned, dozens of people had a nervous breakdown, and the rest of the people tried their best to control their trembling hands and rushed directly into the battle formation of Han Shizhong's army.

How terrible is it for someone who knows that he will die, but resolutely charges? The encirclement of more than 10,000 people stirred up by 500 people almost collapsed, which should give a partial answer.

After all, there were too few people, Han Yanzhang took six hundred soldiers from the pro-military camp to outflank him from the inside, and the remaining hundreds of people had to be killed.

Except for the scattered soldiers of the Fangla Army who escaped, the remaining elite of the Wu Fu Department were all left behind.

Han Shizhong was deeply shocked. He remembered the iron-blooded scene of the Xixia Bubazi who swore to the death to attack the fortress line of the Great Zhou Army on the battlefield of Hengshan on the battlefield of Hengshan in order to ensure the survival of the ethnic group.

In the small encirclement, stumps, severed arms, and corpses overlapped each other, and thick blood soaked into the lush weeds, where the injured and undead Wu Fubu elite groaned in pain.

A soldier of the Great Zhou Army, who was accustomed to seeing corpses, vomited, which immediately caused hundreds of people to vomit, and thousands of soldiers felt furious in their hearts. There was no word in the room, only moaning, vomiting, and inhaling.

Han Shizhong secretly said a pity in his heart, and ordered: "If you can't save them, let the recruits send them on the road." Those who are worth saving, heal their wounds, and let them eat better. ”

Han Yanzhang rode over on horseback, "Recruit envoys, heal them, and let them eat a few good meals?" Isn't it too cheap for them? ”

Han Shizhong sighed, glanced back at the almost sluggish captive, and couldn't bear to say, "They are still useful, they can be sold for a good price." ”

Han Yanzhang lowered his head and thought for more than a dozen breaths, trembling all over. He wanted to speak out against it, but he knew that although the clan uncle was a solicitor, there were too many difficulties.

Some officials and people, once united, Han Shizhong will not be able to fight at all.

And Han Shizhong also needs to ask for some favors, and fight for better treatment for himself, his cronies, and his casualties.

In the next few days, Han Shizhong mobilized his troops with average combat strength and quickly swept the remaining Fangla military camps in the lake-canal-main road fortress group. The main force and elite troops left wounded soldiers and went south to attack the defense line of Linghu Town-Qianjin Town-Shanlian Town of the Yongle Puppet Dynasty, referred to as the defense line of Qianjin Town.

On May 12, the defenders of Nanxun Town, who learned of the defeat of Wu Fu's army, no longer had the fighting spirit, and were recruited by Wang Yu to seize the opportunity to conquer it.

Nanxun Town is located sixty miles east of Huzhou City, after Han Shizhong to the south, it is located in the left rear of Han Shizhong's army. The fortress groups to the east and north of Nanxun Town had been cleared a few days ago by an army of 50,000 led by Wang Yu at the cost of casualties.

Wang Yu handed over the battlefield to the township soldiers and the people to clean up, left the wounded soldiers behind, and cooperated with Han Shizhong in the west to the south. The army soon arrived in Wuzhen and captured the outlying camps one by one, removing the last flank threat of Han Shizhong's army.

The total collapse of the Yongle Dynasty continues.

One hundred and fifty miles northeast of Hangzhou, is the city of Jiaxing, which was rebuilt by the Yongle Dynasty with a lot of resources and a lot of manpower.

On the evening of May 12, Shi Bao dragged his wounded body and led more than 10,000 regular soldiers to escort tens of thousands of wounded soldiers into Jiaxing City. For reasons similar to Wu Fu, he finally chose to withdraw to Jiaxing in advance.

Xitang Town, east of Jiaxing City, and Jiashan County, north of the east, are stepping up the completion of the final work of clearing the wilderness. The Fangla defenders in the two places drove out tens of thousands of scrawny laborers, destroyed the road and stone bridges, and blocked the Great Zhou army Yang Keshi, who had broken through Songjiang City, from attacking all the way to the southwest.

The Wuzhen camp group in the west of Jiaxing City and Tongxiang City in the southwest, the Fangla army in these two places not only had to block Wang Yu, but more importantly, cooperate to defend Jiaxing City. The generals of the Fang La army in the two places received a stern order written by Fang La:

Just hold on, don't fight!

Judging from the map, the Yongle Dynasty took Jiaxing City as the center and built an hourglass-shaped defense line, referred to as the Jiaxing City Defense Line. Xitang Town, Jiashan County, Tongxiang City, and Wuzhen Fortress Group are the four points of the hourglass, guarding the Jiaxing City in the middle.

The defense line of Qianjin Town and the defense line of Jiaxing City of the Yongle Dynasty are the last line of defense on the periphery of Hangzhou. If any road is broken, the Yongle Dynasty will have no place to defend north of the Qiantang River, except for a few fortified cities such as Tangqi Ancient Town, and Hangzhou City will be really dangerous.

In early May, Han Shizhong, Wang Yu, and Yang Keshi, north of the Qiantang River, crushed the 100,000-square-meter army.

In contrast, in addition to attacking Wuzhen, which was covered with thorns, the Great Zhou army south of the Qiantang River was lackluster.

Although Liu Guangshi's ministry opened up the connection with the Fujian Road soldiers and horses led by Wang Shixin, he was able to obtain supplies from the fleet by the sea. But after all, with 90,000 people in hand, Liu Guangshi could only ensure that his subordinates would not starve to death, and it was impossible to launch a major offensive in the short term, and he deeply realized that too many people were not a good thing.

Although he complained a lot, Liu Guangshi still did his best, and he didn't dare to spoil the court's plans. He sent Wang De to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and young men to attack Pujiang County, which is backed by mountains in the west, in order to open the passage to the north as soon as possible, and also spurred the prisoners of the Fangla army and the "small people from thieves" to repair the road from Wuzhen to Zhuji.

For the Yongle Dynasty, the destruction of Wuzhen was due to the fact that Pang Wanchun's troops of Fang La's army could not withstand Liu Guangshi's crowd tactics, and took the initiative to abandon the ruined city camp and retreat. After Pang Wanchun's troops abandoned Wuzhen, they turned to take advantage of the mountainous and forest terrain and divided small forces to continuously attack Liu Guangshi's troops.

Liu Guangshi on the West Road stepped into the quagmire with half a foot, and Wang Shixin on the East Road also encountered big trouble.

Wang Shi didn't want to, and he didn't dare to ignore the tens of thousands of hungry people who came over from Fang La's army, so he consumed a lot of grain and grass materials, and the advance speed of the army slowed down suddenly. What's more, the Pan Wende division of the Fang La Army also began to drill into the mountains and forests to carry out sneak attack operations, which further complicated the battle situation in the mountain-forest-valley area north of Taizhou.

While evacuating a large number of hungry people to Quanzhou for resettlement, while requisitioning labor on the spot, and dealing with the sneak attack of more than a dozen Fangla troops, Wang Shixin was very busy.

Wang Shixin led an army of more than 20,000 men until halfway through early May before continuing to advance. This old man plans to advance north along the coastal road, so the Tiantai county town connected to the Chongren Valley, which is heavily garrisoned by the Fangla army, must be taken, and the Sanmen county town that is blocked on the coastal road must also be taken.

The soldiers and horses of Fujian Road are divided into two. Most of them followed Wang Shixin to Sanmen County, and the more than 6,000 people who were separated advanced to the northwest along the valley road, approaching Tiantai County.

Beginning on 13 May, Liu Guangshi and Wang Shixin fell into a quagmire. On the same day, north of the Qiantang River and north of Hangzhou, Han Shizhong, who had seconded tens of thousands of people from Wang Yu, led a large army to attack Linghu Town, Qianjin Town and Shanlian Town at the same time.

The defense line of Qianjin Town is like paper, and it can be broken with one blow!

Han Shizhong was not overjoyed, let alone approaching Hangzhou City, but broke out in a cold sweat. Fang La took the initiative to give up the defense line of Qianjin Town and put on a posture of opening the door to attract customers, there must be a big plan!

Han Shizhong immediately stopped all attacks and ordered the whole army to shrink its defenses. Wang Yu and Yang Keshi, who received the news a little later, had a tacit understanding, and they also stopped the attack, intending to figure out the plot of the Yongle puppet dynasty first.

Soon, there was an urgent secret report of 100,000: 70,000 troops suddenly appeared in Hangzhou City, and a large number of city defense equipment, Fang La personally went to the city for a military parade!

In the middle of the night of 13 May, Han Shizhong, Wang Yu, Yang Keshi, Liu Chengdong and others north of the Qiantang River, that is, the Colonel of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the General Colonel, the Deputy Commander of Yuhou, the Deputy Governor of the Metropolitan Commander, the Commander of the Horses and Horses, the Commanders of the Soldiers and Horses, and the Commanders of the Soldiers and Horses, whether they were military generals or supervising the army, whether they were the forbidden army or the Xiang Army, were all shocked by the big money that Fang La was hiding in Hangzhou.

After the shock, everyone began to check the map, compare the intelligence, and guess the intentions of the Yongle puppet dynasty.

Han Shizhong, Wang Yu and Liu Chengdong, these three almost understood Fang La's intentions at the same time: a decisive battle under the city of Hangzhou!

In the past dozens of days, the Yongle puppet dynasty has been mixing miscellaneous soldiers and elites, even if the combat power is reduced. Han Shizhong is very sure that the Yongle puppet dynasty has been selecting elites.

Since the counteroffensive, the Great Zhou army has rarely annihilated the elite of the large group of Fang La's army, and the Fang La army really couldn't resist it and retreated decisively. Wang Yu understood that Fang La's army was retreating step by step in a planned manner, and Wu Fu's death should also be to ensure that Fang La's army near Hangzhou had time to adjust.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. Liu Chengdong stared and thought for a while before linking the Yongle puppet dynasty's behavior of driving out a large number of coolie civilians with the war situation. That is obviously to reduce your own food consumption, increase the logistical pressure of the Great Zhou army, and increase the bargaining chips for the decisive battle!

Some of the generals of Fang La and Yongle Dynasty already have a certain strategic awareness.

After fully understanding the terrible aspects of the Great Zhou Dynasty's national strength, the Yongle Dynasty set several plans for how the Great Zhou army should resist when it came to attack with all its might. Among them, there is one of the most radical schemes, which is equivalent to injuring 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of themselves, and burning all the jade, and it is also the plan used at the last moment:

Carry out a thorough clearing of the wall, consume miscellaneous troops to delay the pace of the Great Zhou army, and withdraw most of the elite armor, selected warriors who dare to fight, and people loyal to the Yongle Dynasty into a number of fortified cities. If the Great Zhou army wants to gnaw through one by one, at least more than 100,000 people will be killed or wounded, and in addition, they can only divide their troops to surround other fortified cities and advance to Hangzhou City to fight to the death!

It is said that the plan of burning jade and stone is because if the Great Zhou army is allowed to gather under the city of Hangzhou, some of the land, workshops and towns occupied by the Yongle Dynasty may be saved, but the grain in the field cannot be harvested. Optimistically, assuming that the Fang La army is victorious, then ......

Can the Yongle Dynasty, which has no food and lacks the people, survive?

The vast majority of the people of the Fangla and Yongle dynasties ignored the great advantages of water and sea transportation in this part of the Yangtze River.

Transporting grain from Sichuan, thousands of miles away, and from Nanyang countries, thousands of miles away, the loss on the way is less than 10%. Large ships use wind and water to transport grain, which is far from the traditional situation of transporting grain for thousands of miles on the road, and there is no one in ten.

"You can only lose if you go down hard!"

Fang La's eyes were red, and he could only draw one conclusion. He is His Majesty who is hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of troops, and he cannot deceive himself.

Enlarge the Zhou army to come to the city of Hangzhou, and the victory was determined in the first battle, and the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River, the two roads in Jianghuai, and even the Fujian Road were determined in the first battle. This is Fang La's crazy move in desperation, and it is also the crazy move of Fang Fei, Shen Shou, Fang Tianding, Shi Bao, Xue Dounan, Zu Shiyuan and others.

Fang La made a move, which was a crazy trick to fight to the death. He was waiting, waiting for the adults in the Great Zhou Dynasty to make a decision.
