Huzhou, Ding'anmen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, outside the ancient city gate, countless Qing troops had gathered densely, one by one throwing away their armor and staggering, and even walking and simply sitting on the ground, even those officers had no image of their armor slanted, and their weapons were thrown away casually, and they were paralyzed beside Tiaoxi like soldiers.

"Open the door!"

A Qing guerrilla stood on the edge of the moat and shouted at the city.

Behind Huguang Admiral Lin Benzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He finally escaped.

In two days, he ran with a group of remnants of the defeated army, and finally escaped from the pursuing Ming army, although he must face the attack of the Ming army next, but at least there is a fortress in Huzhou, plus the mountains of materials in the city, he no longer needs to run like a lost dog like before.

Of course, the main thing is that he can't run anymore.

Those Ming army's long-distance running ability can be called a change, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment in two days and couldn't even eat a hot meal, he really didn't understand, they were all the same people, they all relied on two legs, how could the Ming infantry run like maggots with bones, and even he was almost caught up several times on horseback.

Well, if he wears armor and carries a big bag to play ten miles off-road, he can also fight cavalry in infantry.

"Hurry up and open the door, the army of Huguanglin Military Gate has arrived!"

The guerrilla shouted again impatiently.

However, there is no movement at the head of the city, let alone the head of the city, the whole Huzhou seems to be silent, it is really quiet, there is no one outside the city, although it is snowing lightly, but it is not a person, more importantly, this is the most important node of the Hujia defense line, at this time, the Ming army is coming, and the thousands of defenders in the city at least have to start arranging defenses and send a large number of scouts outward, why didn't they see a single one along the way? And there was no one on the city wall, not even a single boat on the surface of the river next to Tiaoxi.

At this time, Lin Junmen remembered that the small village he passed by just now seemed to be clean.

"Not good!"

Lin Benzhi suddenly stirred.

He knew that the Ming army was attacking Suzhou after breaking through Shanghai, but he calculated that Yabu in Suzhou, as the commander of the whole army, would have to hold on to it, after all, there were still more than 10,000 horses there, as well as mountains of materials, and even the most important military industrial base, as well as the canal and the unobstructed waterway, it can be said that there is definitely the capital of the first war, not to mention that it is no problem to defend for ten and a half days and a half, and if Yabu sticks to Suzhou, it is impossible for the Ming army to cross Suzhou into Taihu Lake.

But he didn't think about Yabu abandoning the city and fleeing?

He looked at the thousands of Qing troops who were sitting on the side of the moat and waiting for the city gate to open, as well as more Qing troops who were also walking towards the moat in an orderly manner by throwing away their armor and dragging all kinds of weapons, and subconsciously roared: "Get up quickly, leave the moat!" ”

However, it was too late at this time, almost at the same time, there was a sudden cannon sound on the city wall, and then countless Ming soldiers suddenly appeared, and the rifles in their hands were aimed at the Qing army outside the city, and the hidden artillery was also pushed out, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the city. Before those dazed Qing troops came to their senses, countless flames erupted from the city wall in an instant, and the scattered bullets and cannons smashed into the middle of the Qing troops who had worked hard all the way from Hangzhou like a storm, and all of a sudden the entire south bank of the moat was full of flesh and blood.

The unlucky Qing army directly blew up the nest.

The frightened ones who hadn't been killed screamed and got up and ran back.

Lin Benzhi also turned the horse's head with full of grief and indignation, and as soon as he turned around, he saw that the head of the town's general soldier Lei Ru, who was also turning the horse's head behind him, exploded like a watermelon, and at the same time at the water gate behind him, the iron fence-like water gate slowly rose, and a wooden boat full of Ming troops rowed out of the city directly, and behind this wooden boat, you can see countless wooden boats on the water in the city that are also full of soldiers are sailing out.

"Yabu, you traitor!"

Lin Junmen looked up to the sky and roared angrily, he didn't understand, Na Yabu must have abandoned Suzhou and fled, and then sold all the Qing troops in eastern Zhejiang.

However, at this time, it is useless to scold Yabu, so let's run away quickly!

Lin Benzhi couldn't control the others, urging the war horse to desperately escape from the range of the Ming army's fire on the city under the escort of his own soldiers, and the Qing soldiers next to him were also running desperately like headless flies, on the city wall behind them, the Ming soldiers repeated the process of aiming and firing at the fastest speed, and even some young and middle-aged people in the city also went up to the city wall, holding the bows and arrows left by the Qing army guarding the city and shooting below, and there were actually some people wearing the uniforms of the green camp......

Well, the Ming army led by Feng Zhen personally did not fight in Huzhou or anything.

After his soldiers came to the city and the people in the city secretly opened the Fengsheng Gate and directly let the small troop carriers of the Ming army enter the city, a deputy general of the green battalion guarding here led the army to surrender very interestingly, as a reward he and all the Qing army officers will not be sent to be coolies, but take their own private property wherever they like, as for many of their soldiers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they simply joined the Ming family and the Ming army together to fire at their original friendly army.

The poor Qing army actually had nowhere to run at this time.

Where are you going?

Huzhou, Suzhou these two points are stuck, although Jiaxing may still be in the hands of the Qing army in the middle, but it has also become an isolated island that can not last for a few days, to the south is the territory of the Ming army, to the north is 800 miles of Taihu Lake, to the east is the vast sea, is it possible to cross the Tianmu Mountains? But even if you cross the Tianmu Mountains, it's useless? Everyone understands that after taking eastern Zhejiang, the Ming army will definitely go straight to Nanjing, where else can I go to the south of the Yangtze River?

Surrender!

After the Ming army killed in the water gate began to attack from the flank along the Dongtiaoxi, all the Qing troops did not run, and they couldn't run anymore, and they were exhausted from running here from Hangzhou, so they simply knelt down to the side one by one, threw away the weapons in their hands and waited for the Ming army with their heads in their hands, and only some of the flag officers finally resisted stubbornly, but then they were stabbed to death by the bayonets of the Ming army.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a negative grace!"

Lin Benzhi, the martial champion of the Shunzhi Dynasty, stood beside the Tiaoxi like a moat, looking at his subordinates who had surrendered to the Ming army, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, and then resolutely put the knife across his neck.

Not far from him, two Ming soldiers with bayonet rifles watched with great interest at his standard self-killing movements, and did not step forward to stop him.

Lin Zhuangyuan looked at them, then looked at the knife in his hand, and thought about the wife and children at home, but in the end he couldn't pull it, but sighed helplessly, threw the knife to the ground and said, "Governor Huguang, wait and get it!" ”

Just when Lin Benzhi's army under Huzhou City was annihilated, the Ming army that pursued all the way along the canal also conquered Jiaxing, and Wang Chen, the general soldier of Yongzhou who abandoned Sabusu and fled to Jiaxing with his army, killed himself, and almost all of his subordinates surrendered to the Ming army. At this point, Yang Feng's counteroffensive in eastern Zhejiang ended successfully, and the 100,000 Qing troops in the north of the Qiantang River were killed or surrendered to Wuxi except for less than 10,000 led by Yabu to retreat to Wuxi.

And in one fell swoop, more than 20 counties in Songjiang, Suzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou were recovered, so that the dragon of the Ming Dynasty hugged the sun and moon flag and planted it all over Suzhou and Hangzhou.

"This is not enough, our army must take Nanjing directly in one go!"

On the painting boat of West Lake, Yang Wang Ye waved his fist and shouted, his expression also looked very excited.

However, there is no exaggeration in what he said, there is no obstacle on the road of the Ming army's march into Nanjing, except for Yabu, who has just fled to Wuxi and is in shock, it can be said that there is no real Qing army with combat effectiveness in this area, at most it is a small number of green battalions and local gentry have just armed regimental training, scattered in large and small cities, more than one or two thousand, less than one hundred and eighty, not to mention the huge army of the army, that is, any brigade can hit the city of Nanjing.

And Nanking also did not have many troops.

Even if Kang Mazi can't piece together a few from around, there are still some people stationed in the Eight Banners in this area, and the Jingzhou general Mang Yilu is still a little bit in Yangzhou, Wuhu, and probably Sichuan, Yungui and other places can still squeeze out some troops, but they definitely can't catch up with the speed of the Ming army. What's more, these places are not stable, even Hunan has Miao people rebelled, not to mention these places, the natives who beat the arrow furnace have not stopped tossing over the years, and the green camps in those places are also too busy to take care of themselves.

In short, even if the new Jiangning general Dajia and the Liangjiang governor Ahsan dig a mouse hole, they can't take out many troops to defend Nanjing.

What's more, even if they can raise another 100,000 troops, what is the use?

In front of the Ming army, it will still be defeated.

"Lord Wang, what about the Qing army on the Eastern Front?"

Chen Lie asked.

Just when the Ming army was counterattacking in eastern Zhejiang, the Qing army on the southern front was meaningful, but Zhao Hongcan and Yue Shenglong on the eastern front didn't even move, and they had tens of thousands of troops guarding the battlefield to watch the excitement, in fact, at this time, not only them, many Qing Dynasty local officials in the south of the Yangtze River were impure. Especially after the Eight Banners Army of the four generals of Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Jingkou and Jiangning basically died, Kang Mazi's rule over Jiangnan does not exist in name only, anyway, it is not before, if Yang Feng is allowed to conquer Nanjing, then the entire Jiangnan is really not his final say.

At this time, the army in the hands of those generals seems to have some other uses.

There are a lot of smart people these days.

"Go and send a letter to these two guys, tell them that I'm too close to them and feel insecure, can they stay away from me? If they are still east of Quzhou, I may go to them in person to talk to them, and if they don't want me to come to the door in person, it is better to go west of Quzhou, for example, Shangrao or something. ”

Yang Feng said gloomily. (To be continued.) )
