After losing seventy or eighty scouts one after another, Zhang Tianlu had reached the limit of patience.

The food and grass in Jixi City were still enough to support it, but the feeling of danger in his heart was getting heavier and heavier. The army became deaf and blind in Jixi City, and not all the people were supporting the Ming army, but almost no people were supporting them.

Since the day before yesterday, it has been extremely unsafe for soldiers and horses to leave the city, even in queues of hundreds of people. When the mountain hunting party encounters the Qing captives that they can't solve, they will report to Zuo Ruojun, who has been protecting the grain route.

Zhang Tianlu decided to retire. He first ordered 300 light cavalry to retreat from Cuiling to Ningguofu, and entered Changhua on the detour to East Tianmu Mountain, and reported the battle situation in Huizhou Mansion to the reinforcements from Hangzhou. After waiting for another day, he led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to withdraw from Jixi City and fled back to Ningguofu.

At least he recovered Ningguo Mansion, but the army in Hangzhou was not effective in containing the soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang, so he lost Huizhou Mansion, Zhang Tianlu thought so.

Under Yuling Pass, Zhang Cunren tackled key problems for four days.

In the past few days, he arrested many mountain people and tortured them, inquired about the news of Huizhou Mansion, and gradually understood what was happening there. He was annoyed that Zhang Tianlu captured Huizhou and lost Huizhou, Zhang Tianlu lost Huizhou and Jingde, and only Jixi was sandwiched in the middle, and he also thought that this war should end.

Qinglu has been tackling key problems for days, and the reason why Zhang Cunren did this is to let Zhang Tianlu get out safely.

Huizhou Mansion.

The messenger galloped to the east of Zhejiang.

The soldiers and horses of Zuo Ruo, who had rested for five days, galloped through the mountains and forests.

Zhang Huangyan led the righteous army to recover Jixi County, and deployed heavy troops in Jingde and Jixi. Zhai Zhe left Huizhou in a hurry and rushed to Yuling Pass, only if he was there, Fang Guoan would bite Zhang Cunren at any cost. He didn't plan to besiege Zhang Tianlu, Zhang Tianlu had already been poisoned by him, and he would do it sooner or later.

The soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang all moved, two days later Zhu Dadian soldiers out of Jinhua, three days later Meng Kang's troops out of Zhuji.

There are many mountains along the way, all of which are rugged and difficult mountain roads, but fortunately, most of the soldiers under the command of General Pinglu are mountain people from eastern Zhejiang.

For two consecutive days, the defenders on Yuling Pass were obviously much more excited, and they beat the Qing captives who were besieging the city to the ground, which was because of the changes caused by Zhai Zhe's arrival here. Zhang Cunren instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he let the army slow down the offensive and ordered the scouts to keep an eye on the direction of Huizhou Mansion, and he was also frightened in the deep mountains. Zhang Cunren was much more vigilant than Zhai Zhe imagined. He descended to the Qing Dynasty with his ancestor Dashou, and contacted the Qing captives to attack Jinzhou and Songjiang.

"Could it be that Zhang Tianlu was defeated? Or has Zhang Tianlu already withdrawn? ”

The Ming army that can be touched is not terrible, but the invisible Ming army is scary.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Zhang Tianlu's messenger made a detour to East Tianmu Mountain and arrived at Yuling Pass via Changhua. Zhang Cunren was frightened in a cold sweat and hurriedly ordered to retreat.

The lookout soldiers quickly told Zhai Zhe, Zhai Zhe and Fang Guoan were at the same juncture, and they looked at it from a distance with a clairglass mirror, and the Qing soldiers and horses were packing up more than ten miles away.

Zhai Zhe put down the clairvoyant mirror and said, "Chief Bing Fang, it's up to you!" If I can defeat Zhang Cunren's soldiers and horses, I will ask the court for instructions to report the merits, and from now on, the Tianfu of Huizhou Mansion will belong to you. ”

Huizhou is not a place of grain production, otherwise there would not be so many people who go out to do business all year round, how much money does the field have every year? But the reason why Zhai Zhe didn't let go until now was because he was hanging Fang Guoan's appetite. Once the osprey is full, he won't go fishing anymore, he can't give enough benefits at once, otherwise how can he make Fang Guoan work hard.

Fang Guoan was really overjoyed, and said: "Qing Yu can come if he wants to, and leave if he wants to, how can there be such a good thing." He turned his head to find his own soldiers and ordered: "Order Fang Yuanke to lead five thousand soldiers out of the pass and pursue the Qing captives!" ”

Capturing Huizhou Mansion, Fang Guoan made great efforts, but Zuo Ruo's credit was greater. Zhai Zhe promised to give all the fields here to Fang Guoan, which can be said to be a good favor. Fang Guoan's cronies in the army were all led by his son, and Zhai Zhe was very satisfied when he heard him say that he would let Fang Yuanke send troops.

Five thousand Ming troops out of the customs, Zhang Cunren saw clearly, like a frightened bird, leaving three thousand soldiers to break off, he led the army to retreat.

The mountains and forests were narrow, and there were already too many people and horses, so Fang Yuanke personally went into battle and led the bird soldiers and sword and shield soldiers to attack. Fang Yuanke drew his sword and roared: "Break through the enemy camp, and each person will be rewarded with one or two silver!" With Zhai Zhe's promise, he has enough confidence.

The sound of the gun frightened the birds in the mountains and forests, the Ming army followed one after another, and the Qing soldiers who stayed behind had not seen the Ming army who could fight so bravely for a long time, and they couldn't get out for a while. At noon, after confirming that the Qing army was indeed all gone, Zhai Zhe personally supervised the Guoan army to pour out of the nest, and divided the troops to outflank the broken soldiers and horses from the mountain path.

Zhang Cunren was like a lost dog, leaving 3,000 soldiers behind him to stalemate with his pursuers.

At night, after the army retreated to Changhua County, Zhang Cunren was a little more confident, and on the one hand he ordered people to report the military situation to Duoduo, and on the other hand, he mobilized troops and horses to defend Changhua County. He also thought that the broken soldiers and horses could be returned, those were the elite of the army, and there were more than two hundred Jurchens in them, otherwise it would not be enough to block the pursuers.

After resting all night in Changhua County and waiting for another morning, more than 200 remnants of the defeated army fled back to Changhua in a hurry, leaving only about 20 Jurchens. The Jurchen soldiers who fled into the city were unbearable, and their armor and weapons were lost. As soon as they saw Zhang Cunren, these people immediately scolded, "The Han dog is despicable and shameless, and he surrendered soon after being surrounded, trapping our Jurchen warriors." ”

Zhang Cunren was nominally the commander of this army, but the Jurchens never took the Han people seriously.

Zhang Cunren said good words and comforted, he has been investing in the Jurchen for some years, and he said good things for a long time to slowly unravel the anger of these people. The surrendered Ming army was unwilling to fight hard in the face of danger, which was an unsolvable situation. Most of the Han soldiers under the city of Hangzhou were the subordinates of Liu Zeqing, the former general soldier of Shandong. Liu Zeqing was killed by Duoduo, and these people were forced to be cannon fodder under the city of Hangzhou. That is, the Ming army is not yet in the climate, otherwise Zhang Cunren is even worried that these people will cut off their braids and turn around and go to eastern Zhejiang.

The loss of more than 100 Jurchens made him feel like he was being put on a stone, and this time he could not escape the punishment of Duoduo.

In the afternoon, the scout said that twenty miles away he saw the banner of the Ming army. The Ming army set up camp more than ten miles outside the city of Changhua, and three big flags with the words "General Pinglu", "Zhai" and "Fang" stood at the gate of the barracks.

"How could the Ming army have such confidence?" Zhang Cunren's heart was thudging. For many years, the Ming army never dared to fight with the Qing soldiers, he had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and he was blocked by the Ming army at the door of his house and did not dare to attack. The battle situation in Jiangnan lasted for three months, and the mood of the soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang changed, which was not a good thing.

On this night, neither side dared to act rashly.

At dawn the next day, two messengers shouted at the east gate of Changhua County.

The defenders verify their identity and put it in.

"Report!" The person who came went straight to the county government and knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Cunren, "The grain transportation team passing through Yuqian County was ambushed by the Ming army, and last night there were suddenly more than 10,000 troops surrounding Yuqian County. ”

"What?" Zhang Cunren was dizzy for a while, Yu Qian only had 3,000 defenders, and Fuyang only had 3,000 defenders.

"Immediately ask Prince Yu of Hangzhou for help!"

This battle has been fought so far, it is simply rotten, that is, the field strength of the soldiers and horses in eastern Zhejiang is not good, and they are unwilling to attack the city and lose their strength, otherwise the Qing soldiers would have been beaten to the north. Zuo Ruo led the army to attack for four days, surrounded Yuqian County, he did not attack the city, and divided his troops to Fuyang and other places to pursue and kill the Qing soldiers scattered in various places.

Zhai Zhe secretly regretted in Fang Guoan's camp that Zhang Cunren had withdrawn a day earlier, otherwise Zuo Ruo would have been able to completely block these people in the mountains if he captured Changhua County.

In fact, if he is really blocked in the mountains, he may not be able to get his wish, Zhang Cunren will hold it for three days, and the soldiers and horses in Hangzhou will be able to save him.
