Zheng's army stormed the city of Hangzhou for ten days, and finally broke through the west gate of Hangzhou-Yongjin Dry Gate and Water Gate with great effort.

A large number of Zheng troops rushed in from Yongjinmen, and the defenders of Hangzhou City who defended the other gates except for 200 people left behind at each gate, the others began to assemble at Yongjinmen, and fought street battles with Zheng's army in the west of the city.

The two sides fought for a day and a night in the west of Hangzhou, and the three squares in the west of the city were already in flames, and the people in the west of Hangzhou fled to other people's squares that were not affected by the war.

In the Zhejiang Political Affairs Bureau, Zhang Bingzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and the military reports of the loss of one square after another kept coming to the government office, and the Zheng army had almost controlled the entire west of the city.

What is even more alarming is that 2,000 of the 3,000 soldiers defending Hangzhou have been killed in battle, and less than 500 can form an organization to resist Zheng's army. With such a small number of soldiers and horses, the Zheng army who entered the city could eat them all in one day, and then the entire city of Hangzhou would completely become a lamb to be slaughtered.

He also issued an order to return to Wang Yi, the chief soldier who went to Phoenix Mountain, but where did Wang Yi dare to go to Zheng Jun with only 3,000 Ming troops, and it would only be enough for Zheng Jun to eat a bite and give Hangzhou City another day or two.

When Wang Yi received the official letter of transferring troops, he turned a blind eye to it, and under the pretext of continuing to besiege Gan Hui, he held troops in Phoenix Mountain and watched the gradual fall of Hangzhou City.

Zhejiang's political secretary office has become a pot of porridge, and the governor Zhang Bingzhen asked Li Ting, the envoy, "Lao Li, how many servants and soldiers are there in the yamen according to the inspectorate?" ”

Li Ting cried and said, "All the soldiers have been transferred to the west of the city, and the officials have disappeared when they hear that they are going to go to the battlefield, Lord Governor, we are really in the hands of Fang Yuan this time, he will not come to support us, he just wants to sit and watch us and Zheng Jun lose both." Old Shen, it was you who repeatedly insisted on surrendering Fang Yuan, and the Zheng family's siege of the city was caused by you. ”

Shen Tingyang, the political envoy, said in a deep voice, "Based on the evaluation of the governor of the other party by my nephew, he is a man of his word, and he will definitely come to the rescue if he says that he will come to the rescue." The Xuanjia Army was delayed, and ninety percent of it was because of the sniper of the Zheng Army. ”

The two began to quarrel senselessly again, and Zhang Bingzhen sighed and said, "Old Shen, now is not the time to quarrel, think about how to block Zheng Jun in the west of the city." ”

Shen Tingyang said, "Lord Governor, according to the inspection envoy Yamen, there are still hundreds of prisoners in the Hangzhou Mansion Ya Prison, let me go and organize to go to the west of the city!" ”

Zhang Bingzhen agreed to his proposal, and immediately ordered him to organize the prisoners in the prison, distribute weapons, and once again throw himself into the battlefield in the west of the city.

The Zheng army entered the west of the city, and while cleaning up the Ming army that was still fighting in the streets, it began to loot the rich merchants and big households in the west of the city.

In less than a day, the property that Zheng Jun had looted had been loaded with one or two hundred carts.

On the third day after entering the city, Zheng Sen, who personally commanded the street battle in the west of the city, suddenly received an urgent military situation, the Zheng army camp twenty miles west of the city had been captured by the Xuanjia army, and countless Xuanjia troops were swarming to Hangzhou City, and began to kill the Zheng army participating in the siege all the way.

Zheng Sen was shocked when he heard this, the Xuanjia Army came so quickly, and what's more, Feng Xin didn't have any news from there, could it be that the Xuanjia Army could be ghostly?

The Xuanjia Army's divine soldiers descended from the sky at least five to ten days earlier than Zheng Sen estimated at least, and this time it was a complete disruption of Zheng Jun's wishful thinking of sacking Hangzhou City, and then returning with a full load, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to take away hundreds of carts of belongings packed.

The Ming army in the west of the city, the prisoners of the organization are still desperately resisting, and they are surrounded by the Xuanjia army behind them.

Zheng Sen immediately ordered that the looted property should be abandoned without delay, and the whole army retreated to Jinhua Mansion to join Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Sen obviously overestimated Zheng Jun's military discipline, this group of soldiers who came all the way from Fujian to Zhejiang came to Zhejiang for money, and now asking them to discard the property and women in vain is tantamount to snatching food.

For the sake of money and women, Zheng Sen's so-called military order is not even as good as a fart. As soon as he heard that Zheng Sen was going to abandon his belongings and the women to retreat, Zheng Jun began to scatter in a hurry, and began to snatch the packed belongings, gold, silver, and jewelry, all of which were stuffed into his arms. There are also hundreds of young women who were arrested by Zheng Jun in order to have a good time in the end, and they began to be arrested collectively.

The Zheng army in the entire west of the city has long been in chaos, like purgatory on earth.

Zheng Sen saw that the rebellious soldiers were like beasts, so he knew that the general trend had gone, so he could only take 7,000 soldiers to withdraw from Yongjinmen in Hangzhou City immediately, but the defeated army came to report, and thousands of Xuanjia army sergeants ten miles away were killed like a swift wind.

The distance between the two armies was so close that if no army went to snipe, the Zheng army would retreat south in a hurry, and it would be immediately pursued and killed by the Xuanjia army, and it was estimated that few of the 7,000 people would be able to escape safely to Jinhua Mansion.

The four fierce men of the Zheng family today are Gan Hui, Shi Lang, Zhou Quanbin, and Feng Xin.

Now Shi Lang has already surrendered to the enemy; Gan Hui was besieged in Phoenix Mountain; Zhou Quanbin and Feng Xin were sniping at the Xuanjia Army, and with Zheng Sen's side, there was not even a general who could take on great responsibilities, how could they resist the Xuanjia Army that was killing like a wolf and a tiger?

Zheng Sen was secretly sighing that the whole army was going to be wiped out today, but he saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old general standing up, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he was powerful.

The young general hurriedly gave a military salute and said, "The last general, Liu Guoxuan, is proficient in water, and is willing to lead two thousand sergeants to cover the retreat of the chief soldier." ”

This Liu Guoxuan was not long after he entered the Chinese military account, and he had quite a lot of military achievements before, but because he was young and had no one to recommend in the Zheng family, Zheng Sen did not pay attention to it for a while, and only ordered him to stay in the Chinese military account. Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture of low morale and panic in the army, Liu Guoxuan dared to take the initiative to ask Ying to snipe the Xuanjia Army.

Zheng Sen didn't have time to think about it, so he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, so he immediately transferred 2,000 Zheng troops to Liu Guoxuan, so that he could go to the rear and hold off the Xuanjia army for two days, and then retreat.

After Liu Guoxuan led the troops, Zheng Sen overlooked the direction of Phoenix Mountain, and Gan Hui, the first fierce general of the Zheng family, was still trapped on Phoenix Mountain.

Zheng Sen was thinking about whether to go to rescue Gan Hui immediately, but he was stopped by his subordinates, and he began to persuade Zheng Sen with nonsense.

"General soldier, there are still 3,000 Ming troops stationed at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, if you go at this time, not to mention whether you can repel the Ming army, even if you retreat, how many of the 5,000 Zheng troops can return to Jinhua Mansion alive?"

"How can you take the life of the chief soldier and the life of the five thousand Zheng soldiers for the sake of Gan Hui alone?"

"Gan Hui is brave and invincible, maybe he has already escaped from the mountain road at this time."

Everyone is gossiping, anyway, there is only one attitude, that is, let Gan Hui fend for himself, and it is important to keep the five thousand Zheng army.

Zheng Sen was absolutely reluctant to leave the fierce general Gan Hui, but none of the generals under his command were willing to lead troops to rescue Gan Hui, and he was also very helpless. Don't say that the generals can't be transferred, even if there are 5,000 Zheng troops, not many will carry out this military order that is almost a mortal place. If Zheng Sen continues to be tough, it is estimated that the 5,000 Zheng army will also disperse in a hurry, leaving him behind and fleeing south.

Zheng Sen was helpless, he could only look at Phoenix Mountain again, saluted a military salute, and secretly prayed that Gan Hui could break out of the encirclement, so he ordered two teams of sentry cavalry to inform Zhou Quanbin and Feng Xin that they should not fight anymore and retreat to Jinhua Mansion to converge.

With everything arranged, Zheng Sen led 5,000 Zheng troops to begin an accelerated southward retreat.

As soon as the news of Zheng Sen's retreat from Hangzhou Prefecture came out, Zhou Quanbin, who was using the terrain of the water network to fight a guerrilla war with Chigutai, and Feng Xin, who was stationed on the Qiantang River, received military orders and did not dare to stay in Hangzhou Mansion any longer, and the whole army went south to Jinhua Mansion.

Chigutai led the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry in pursuit, killed a thousand Zheng troops, and finally let Zhou Quanbin escape through the waterway.

Feng Xin's 5,000 Zheng troops were about to retreat, but they were caught off guard by the Xuanjia army that suddenly crossed the river, losing more than 1,000 Zheng troops. Fang Yuan's goal was to get to Hangzhou City as soon as possible, and he also recruited the fierce general Gan Hui, and he didn't go to expand the victory, so Feng Xin took the opportunity to successfully escape the pursuit.

When Fang Yuan arrived on the outskirts of Hangzhou three days later, he saw that Feng Ting had not yet been able to break through the two thousand Zheng troops guarding the waterways.

The two thousand Zheng army were able to hold back the elite of the five thousand Xuanjia Army and held on for three days, Fang Yuan was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked who the commander of the Zheng army was.

Feng Ting truthfully reported that he was a young general named Liu Guoxuan, who was proficient in land warfare and water warfare, and coordinated with each other. After three days of fighting outside the city of Hangzhou, only five miles were advanced.

Fang Yuan secretly realized that this Liu Guoxuan is not a young general, but one of the five tiger generals of the Zheng family along with Gan Hui and Shi Lang, and the military pillar of the Zheng family's small Taiwanese court in the history books has already emerged as soon as he first appeared.
