What happens if you lose Huizhou Mansion?

Zhai Zhe and Zhang Tianlu were both thinking so.

After the army entered Yuling Pass, Zhai Zhe ordered Fang Guoan to leave 3,000 soldiers and 500 people from Zuo Ruo's army to defend this pass, and led the army to Jixi. The distance from Yuling Pass to Jingde is as far as the distance to Huizhou, which is like the apex of an isosceles triangle, and Jixi is halfway between Jingde and Huizhoufu, so it is the closest target.

Zhai Zhe wasn't sure where Zhang Tianlu's army was, but it was always right to attack Jixi County, even if Zhang Tianlu was no longer here, it would be Zhang Tianlu's place to be saved, unless he voluntarily withdrew from Huizhou. Zhai Zhe's goal is not only Huizhou Mansion, if he can't defeat Zhang Tianlu, Huizhou Mansion will still be in a tug-of-war, and it is impossible for him to keep these 40,000 troops in Huizhou for a long time.

The battle situation in Huizhou City is already chaotic, so let it be a little more chaotic.

The soldiers walked from day to night, and then from night to midnight, and the county town of Jixi in front of them was very quiet, quiet like a ghost town.

Zhai Zhe's guide confirmed the direction, and then ordered: "Attack!" ”

The fire dragon swam out of the dark mountain forest, and the dragon head met resistance in the northeast of Jixi City, and Fang Guoan's son Fang Yuanke was the vanguard, and met the Qing garrison soldiers and horses in the northeast corner of Jixi City.

Torches set fire to houses and tents outside the city, and this was not a sneak attack, and in the middle of the night, an army of 20,000 torches could not be seen.

Zhang Tianlu was in Jixi, and he didn't dare to go there, after the unexpected appearance of the soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang, he had lost Huizhou Mansion by default, and it was not so easy to get it there. He pondered for a long time, rather than risk losing a qiē, it was better to maintain the results he had made. When Duoduo's army arrived, he had Jixi and Jingde, and he could mobilize grain and grass from Ningguofu to attack Huizhou.

This is the safest strategy.

Zhang Tianlu once served as a general under Cao Bianjiao, and was promoted to the general army of Guazhou, and he was not a mediocre general. On the same day, under the city of Yangzhou, seeing that the situation was collapsing and there was no chance of recovery, he was willing to lead 3,000 families to join the Qing Dynasty.

In the darkness, the two teams of soldiers and horses fired their guns at each other, approaching in a tentative attack.

The torches pouring from the official road in the east were denser than the stars in the sky, and the posture of Zheng Zunqian and Sun Quanjing leading the 8,000 rebels who had never been on the battlefield was very terrifying.

Zhang Tianlu stood at the head of the city, his chest beating like a drum.

"So many people? There are 30,000 people, how many people are there in eastern Zhejiang? "He's just confused. The city of Hangzhou can resist the strong attack of more than 100,000 troops of Duoduo, and it will not be less than 40,000 defenders; The Ming army on Chongming Island was able to break into Songjiang Mansion and defeat Li Chengdong, with at least 30,000 men; There are another 30,000 or 40,000 people here, and King Lu has an army of more than 100,000.

The fire dragon head tore the camp in the northeast corner of Jixi City, and the body and tail of the fire dragon swept over from the north, looking at the posture and trying to surround the entire Jixi County.

Zhai Zhe personally supervised the battle in the Chinese army, urging the Fang Guoan Army to outflank Jixi County.

Zhang Tianlu mobilized soldiers and horses from the north gate and the west gate to intercept him, he didn't want to be pressed into the city. The complete retreat of the army into Jixi City meant that he would lose the initiative, and that was the most helpless choice. It's a pity that Jixi is only a small county town, and there is no artillery at the head of the city, otherwise it would be possible to set up camp with its back to the city wall.

In the dark night, the sound of guns was like thunder, the two armies outside Jixi City were not far apart, the defenders were cautious, and the Ming army besieging the city was also cautious. Zhai Zhe carefully commanded Zheng Zunqian and Sun Quanjing's recruits, and Bao Guang led a thousand personal guards to suppress the formation, and whenever the recruits were a little unable to support them, they immediately stepped forward to repel the Qing captives who showed signs of counterattack.

After a fierce battle for more than an hour, in the official road leading to Huizhou City in the south of Jixi, another fire snake swam over and met Li Yuchun, who was guarding the south ridge of Jixi.

Zuo Ruo only led the army north after receiving Zhai Zhe's order, so he came a little late, but he came at the right time.

Attacking the mountain at night, Zuo Ruo put the guns at the end, and ordered the sword and shield soldiers to charge in front, followed by the grenadiers and armorers.

The sword and shield soldiers at the forefront are all thick iron shields, which are specially equipped by Zuo Ruo in the army, used as a lead to block birds, and only the wrestlers in the army can swing these iron shields freely.

"Don't be impatient when you attack the city!" Every time there was a sound of guns on the ridge, the sword and shield soldiers would take the opportunity to move forward, closer to the top of the mountain.

When they were only a hundred paces away from the top of the mountain, and after another bang, the sword and shield soldiers threw down their shields and leaped up among the rocks. The grenadiers in the middle lit the powder canisters one by one and threw them to the top of the hill. The running mountaineers withstood two rounds of blows, and finally threw themselves into the queue of the captives who turned and tried to escape.

The mountain people, who had been suppressed for about a quarter of an hour, finally had a chance to unleash their wildness, and remembered their fellow villagers who had just fallen in the birds' guns, and these people had stabbed blood and spears straight to the chest.

The armor soldier brandished a heavy weapon and smashed it at the small team that was still resisting, but Li Yuchun did not have a heavy armor soldier to resist.

Zuo Ruo likes this kind of white-knuckle combat, and the ultimate goal of his training of soldiers is also the only goal - these people must not be afraid of death.

Wherever it goes, it is indestructible. He was satisfied with the soldiers' performance for the past two months, and they were getting stronger.

Li Yuchun is a newly defeated soldier, and he already has a psychological shadow on the soldiers and horses of Zuo Ruo's troops, especially when he sees the flames on the edge of Jixi City in the rear, as if he is about to be besieged. When the Ming army broke into the formation, the defenders of Nanling were routed on all fronts, and they wanted to catch the opportunity to retreat into the city at the last time.

"Chase!"

The sound of the horn in the rear was like a rapid rainstorm, and the Ming army made full use of its advantage of being good at moving forward in the mountains.

Li Yuchun saw that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, panicked in his heart, and whipped the horse's ass fiercely. The horse stepped out of its front hooves in pain, happened to step on a pile of moving stones, and stumbled and fell to the ground. The war horse reacted very quickly, kicked its legs on the ground and stood up, and stood beside Li Yuchun with its head down. It was this kick that the heavy body of the war horse pressed against Li Yuchun's left leg, and he could no longer stand up.

Seeing the mountain people and the rout soldiers passing by him, the pro-soldiers scattered in a hurry, Li Yuchun called for a while, but no one paid attention to him. He saw that there were more and more pursuers, and he was helpless, and he tried to climb into the bushes by the side of the road, despite the thorns, and was drilling into it, when someone behind him grabbed his legs and pulled him out, and he fell to the ground like a big frog.

After Zuo Ruo led the army to defeat Li Yuchun's soldiers and horses, he immediately supervised the army to attack the west city of Jixi County, preparing to join forces with Zhai Zhe's new soldiers to attack the soldiers and horses gathered by the Qing Dynasty.

This is a demonstration battle for the recruits under Zheng Zunqian and Sun Quanjing.

When Zuo Ruo's vanguard was still a mile away, Zhai Zhe personally led Bao Guang's personal guards to break into the barracks, and Zheng Zunqian and Sun Quanjing led the recruits to follow.

Fang Jin hadn't killed anyone for a long time, and he seemed to be showing the armies why he became the general's personal soldier. He held a knife in each hand, all the way like chopping vegetables and melons, every ten steps into the enemy formation, waiting for the rear guards to follow.

Zhang Tianlu didn't have time to mobilize troops and horses to block the attack, and when Zuo Ruobu's soldiers and horses appeared, he knew that it was inevitable to be besieged in Jixi City.

The Qing army gradually retreated from the three city gates, and Zuo Ruo only killed one tail.

The archers and skullmen at the head of the city were well prepared, and the anxious soldiers and the last of the captives who were left behind were all stumped together.

Zhai Zhe ordered all troops and horses to pack up the prisoners, and the army was divided into the north gate and the west gate, leaving only a few soldiers and horses to patrol the east gate and the south gate.

It was quiet for less than half an hour, and the sky was bright.

The dew drops on the blades of the barren grass reflect the light of the morning sun, and the flags are waved outside Jixi City, and the banner of General Pingyu is majestic and majestic.

Zhang Tianlu stood at the head of the city with a heavy heart, and the four cities were cleaning up the remnants of the army, and now he could only wait for the Duoduo army to come to the rescue.

Zhai Zhe ordered his soldiers to escort more than 1,000 captives to the city, and Li Yuchun was among them, with two soldiers supporting him.

The captives knelt down towards the east, and Zhai Zhe shouted: "You are all Han people, why do you want to abandon your ancestors, do such a fishy look, cut off your braids, and you are still a good man of the Han people!" ”

The knife hand in the back grabbed the pigtail and cut it with a knife, which was clean.

After this knife, they returned to the territory of the Qing captives, and they were a little incomprehensible.

In the middle of the morning, the Ming army cut down trees in the surrounding mountains and forests, making preparations for the formation of siege weapons.

Zhai Zhe led his own guards and the righteous army of Zheng Zunqian and Sun Quanjing to go straight to the Huizhou mansion.

On this day and night, Yang Shouzhuang was terrified in Huizhou Mansion, and he couldn't pretend to be reserved before. Li Yuchun was defeated right under his nose, he didn't dare to go out of the city to respond, and he didn't see the army of reinforcements for more than a day. The sound of guns in the direction of Jixi County sounded all night, and he pricked up his ears at the head of the city to listen all night, but he did not dare to go out at will.

At about noon, a group of soldiers and horses came from the north, with nearly 10,000 people, and a group of mighty cavalry in the front held the banners of "General Pinglu" and "Zhai".

"Zhai Zhe!" Of course he knew the man's name.

Zhai Zhe led the army to camp outside the north gate of Huizhou City, and ordered the soldiers to shout towards the city: "Zhang Tianlu was defeated in Jixi County last night, and has fled back to Ningguo, and the defenders in the city surrender, otherwise there will be no one left after the army enters the city." ”

Yang Shouzhuang stood at the head of the city, his heart was indescribably panicked, Jixi fought a bloody night, and only the Ming army came to Huizhou Mansion, indicating that Zhang Tianlu was defeated.

He saw two soldiers carrying a dead dog-like captive to the city, and he knew the man, who was his friend Li Yuchun in the army.

Li Yuchun shouted hoarsely: "General Yang, the army has been defeated, and only 3,000 people are left to flee back." ”

At this shout, a burst of agitation immediately sounded at the head of the city.

The loud-voiced soldier continued to shout: "General Pingyu has an order, whether it is a soldier or a common person in the city, as long as the braids are cut off, the past is not to blame, the first to open the city gate will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and then those who dare to resist will be killed by the nine clans." "This was shouted to the gentry of the city.

Huizhou City has only been lost for a day, and most people have not had time to cut their braids, and the people in the city are already panicking. News of the out-of-town area quickly spread in the city, and he hid in his home with his braids cut and went to the streets without braids.

Yang Shouzhuang was helpless at the head of the city, Zhai Zhe commanded the Ming army to set up a position under the city wall, and Zheng Zunqian drove a group of captives who had just cut their braids to persuade them to surrender outside the north city gate.

Suddenly, fires broke out in several places in the city, black smoke rose into the sky, and pedestrians ran in chaos on the streets.

Yang Shouzhuang turned around, and saw a fierce light in the eyes of the military attache who was still following behind him like two dogs yesterday, and he trembled with fright, and beckoned his soldiers to order: "Come on, open the door and ask for surrender!" ”

He was afraid that it would be too late to act.
