The next morning, when Wang Kefan was still on the march, the Ming troops from all directions sent good news one after another.

The results of the battle on the eastern road were the most brilliant, the Qing army that broke through was completely wiped out, and almost none of the more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers escaped the net.

The Qing army that broke through from the east road was Wang Lifu's department, because the reinforcements of the Chu army mainly came from the southwest, and the troops in the east were relatively weak.

The Yuezhou battalion suffered more than half of the casualties in this battle, suffered heavy losses, and the Qing army that fought has formed a mortal enemy, heard that the reinforcements have arrived, Tun Buer fled in a hurry, the morale of the whole battalion was greatly boosted, and the soldiers were grinding their fists, all holding back to avenge the sacrifice of their comrades, and the Qing army after the break was all wiped out.

When the enemy meets, he is very red-eyed!

More than 2,000 green battalion soldiers rushed out like a swarm, and the Yuezhou battalion did not hesitate to meet them, and killed the Qing army hard, seeing that the momentum was not right, Wang Lifu had to order to break through separately, but the Yuezhou battalion chased after it and held on to it.

More than a dozen and dozens of soldiers of the Chu army dared to chase and kill hundreds of green battalion soldiers, which was completely desperate, and the cavalry of the Chu army also rushed to support in time, blocking Wang Lifu on the bank of the Gan River.

Seeing that he was under siege, Wang Lifu grabbed a mound and defended it, and with the geographical advantage, he held on until dawn, and finally saw the warship of the Qing army's naval division. He immediately lit a fire, asked the sailor for help, and then rushed to the river with the remnants of the defeated army.

Due to the lack of a wharf, the warships of the Qing army's naval division could not dock, but Wang Lifu was cornered. I can't take care of so much anymore. When he rushed to the river, there were only a hundred people left around him, and they didn't have time to take off their armor. They jumped into the river one after another, or tread water, or dogs planing, or held a piece of wood, and desperately swam to their own warship.

It is said that at this point, in order to avoid taking risks, the pursuers will not go into the water to chase them. But the soldiers of the Yuezhou battalion had red eyes, and they jumped into the river regardless of it, but only took off their armor. He also holds short weapons such as a single knife and dagger.

Most people in Jiangnan can swim, but it doesn't mean that everyone is white in the waves, wearing a heavy armor, and it is freezing cold. Winter swimming in the turbulent Ganjiang River. It has exceeded the capacity of most of the Green Battalion soldiers, and from time to time someone sinks to the bottom, leaving only strings of bubbles on the surface of the river.

The soldiers of the Chu army who went into the water took off their armor, and they were basically good hands with good water nature, and those with poor water quality naturally stayed on the shore, so they were much more flexible than the green battalion soldiers, and they chased after them little by little.

Chase after him. The soldiers of the Chu army stabbed down and pounced on the green battalion soldiers in front. They held sharp knives in their hands, but the green battalion soldiers were bare-handed, so they had to enter the white blade empty-handed, desperately fighting with the Chu soldiers.

If you enter the white blade empty-handed, you have to rely on your fists and feet to hurt people, and then wait for the opportunity to take the opponent's blade, but the resistance in the water is too great, no matter how punches and kicks there is no threat, these green battalion soldiers had to reach out to grab the opponent's knife, and nine out of ten were cut palms and severed fingers.

The water splashed incessantly, blood gushed one after another, and the green battalion soldiers sank to the bottom one after another, but the Chu soldiers came out of the water with a roar and chased after the next enemy.

The Qing army sailors put down two sampans and rowed towards the shore, trying to rescue Wang Lifu, Wang Lifu, as the general who led the troops, naturally had to wear heavy armor, which was particularly clumsy in the water, and if it weren't for the help of his own guards, he would have sunk to the bottom of the water.

The sampan came quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the Qing soldiers under the ship worked together, pulled and pushed, and rolled Wang Lifu onto the deck like a pocket.

"Quick, help me remove my armor!"

The chain mail worn by Wang Lifu belongs to high-end goods, and the whole body is protected tightly, leaving almost no gaps, and it is very troublesome to put on and take off, and he was dragged down by this set of armor weighing thirty-five pounds just now, and he was almost drowned.

"Take it off yourself, we can't take care of it!"

Several sailors ignored him and paddled desperately, trying to escape as much as possible.

However, the sampan stopped in place, almost motionless.

Wang Lifu looked up and saw that there were more than a dozen green battalion soldiers on the boat gang, desperately climbing up, and there were many Qing soldiers swimming towards this side.

I don't know where to come out of nowhere, Wang Lifu turned over and sat up, picked up a steel knife, and slashed it down with a snap, only to hear the screams again and again, the flesh and blood on the sampan flew sideways, and the green battalion soldiers who were holding the boat gang either broke their hands or fingers, and they sank to the bottom of the river.

"Let's go!"

Wang Lifu sat with a knife, his face hideous. Most of these green battalion soldiers were his henchmen, and in order to escape, he had to attack his own people, and his feelings were stimulated by Yan zhòng.

The surrounding green battalion soldiers were stunned, turned around and swam away, the sampan was not blocked, and sailed forward in the wind and waves, seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the big ship of the sailor, but suddenly made a half-spin in the river water, and the hull shook violently back and forth.

"There's a water ghost under the ship!"

With the shouts of the Qing soldiers, a knife tip popped out of Wang Lifu's feet, and after only a few back and forth, a hole was cut in the bottom of the boat, and the river immediately poured in.

"Come and save me!" Wang Lifu shouted.

There was silence in response, and the nearby Green Battalion soldiers looked at him, turned their heads and swam farther and farther away.

With a more violent shaking, the small sampan was finally overturned, the bottom of the boat was upside down in the river, and Wang Lifu sank to the bottom of the river......

The northern road was the key interception direction of the Chu army, and the troops were much larger than those in other directions, and the more than 3,000 green battalions under Zhang Shifang were basically wiped out.

Under the layers of interception of the Chu army, the Qing army was like sand touching a strainer, and one by one was left behind, and Zhang Shizuo was defeated with the remnants of more than 200 people, trapped by a small river, and could only wait to be killed.

The so-called restrained means that he can't resist or escape, staring at the Chu cavalry on the other side of the river, although Zhang Shifang wants to escape, there is no way to escape.

Crossing the river would definitely be attacked, and turning around and walking back was even worse, so he had to continue walking along the river, but this was just an instinctive reaction to survive, and it didn't really make any sense.

The cavalry of the Chu army on the opposite side has been following unhurriedly, but the green battalion soldiers are getting more and more nervous, and there is gradually some commotion. Some of them walked more and more slowly, slowly falling behind the group, and quietly slipped away while people were not paying attention, and it didn't take long for forty or fifty people under Zhang Shizuo to desert.

If the two armies are at war, Zhang Shiyuan's personal soldiers are still selling their lives, and now they are waiting for death, but many people can't bear such psychological pressure.

There were more and more deserters, but Zhang Shifang did not stop him. Now that the morale of the army has been dispersed, the reason why the remaining soldiers are still following them is that they just don't know where to go, if they forcibly stop those deserted soldiers, everyone will scatter in a hurry.

"Yes! Just scatter in a hurry, and count as many as you can get out! ”

Zhang Shifang made up his mind in an instant, summoned the remaining more than a hundred green battalion soldiers together, gave a few low commands, and then shouted and fled in all directions.

The cavalry of the Chu army on the opposite side saw it, and hurriedly crossed the river to chase, if the Qing army did not lose its fighting spirit, at this time turned its head to intercept and kill, and the cavalry of the Chu army who were crossing the river would definitely suffer a big loss. But at this time, the Qing soldiers had already run away, and the Chu cavalry did not encounter any resistance, easily crossed the small river, and pursued separately.

Zhang Shifang mixed in a group of pro-soldiers, desperately running forward, while running, he took off his clothes and armor, and threw them on the side of the road. It was dark at night, and the Green Battalion soldiers were only concerned about fleeing for their lives, and no one paid attention to his movements.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! ”

Arrows kept flying behind him, Zhang Shifang suddenly screamed, and fell to the ground, as if injured by an arrow, several pro-soldiers turned their heads to look over, only to see Zhang Shifang rolling down the soil slope bones, and fell into the river with a plop.

After dawn, Gu Zongfu and others checked the results of the battle, and more than 3,000 soldiers of the green battalion were annihilated in this battle, but there was no enemy commander Zhang Shidu, I don't know if he died or ran away......

The battle on the west road ended the fastest, and the strong man Zhao Daorong of the green battalion broke his thigh, threw most of the troops to the west, and quietly slipped away with only a few hundred personal soldiers, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Wan Yuan Ji of the South Road also sent good news, this battle wiped out more than 2,000 Qing troops, all kinds of capture innumerable, the enemy general Li Chengdong fled alone, perhaps has died in the chaos.

Just by intuition, Wang Kefan felt that there was something wrong with this good news.

He had to admit that anyone who can leave a great name in history must have their own merits, and Li Chengdong's choice to break through from the south road was indeed beyond his expectations, so he made a mistake in command and sent the Jiangxi army, which had the worst combat effectiveness, to the south.

What's even more unexpected is that the Gan army actually gave himself a big surprise, not only defeated Li Chengdong neatly, but even a beautiful battle of annihilation, the only regret is that Li Chengdong himself ran away.

Others don't know Li Chengdong, but Wang Kefan is very familiar with him and has always been very concerned. Among the generals in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Li Chengdong could almost be ranked among the first-class and second-rate, but he was defeated by Wan Wanji so easily, as if Guan Yu was beheaded by Huaxiong.

Carefully questioning the messenger who reported the victory, more doubts appeared. Although the envoy talked endlessly, talking about how the Jiangxi army was brave and good at fighting, the specific battle process was vague, and there were several inconsistencies.

"It's hard to come from afar, let's go down and rest first."

Wang Kefan beat the envoy away, thought about it alone for a while, and ordered his own soldiers to find the Quan Xi of the Intelligence Bureau.

After a short time, Quan Xi arrived, Wang Kefan retreated, introduced the relevant situation to him, as well as his own suspicions, and ordered the Intelligence Bureau to investigate the matter as much as possible.

"Be careful when you check, don't alarm Wan Dufu." Jiangxi's shape is very complicated, and it is impossible to scare the snake.

"Humble duty understands!" Quan Xi agreed, turned around and left. (To be continued!)
