Although Gao Xuewu's suggestion was pertinent, it was somewhat unrealistic in Liu Feng's opinion, and it was not much easier to use military means to cut off the supply lines of the Haihan army than to defeat them on a frontal battlefield. If the Ming army really had the ability to do this, then the Haihan army probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Qiantang River, let alone land outside Hangzhou. But Gao Xuewu was also brave in battle, and his performance on the battlefield did not disgrace the Ming army, and Liu Feng was not good at talking too seriously, so he only let him go back to the city to recuperate from his injuries.

Earlier, when Zhejiang organized elite troops to go north to the Central Plains to participate in the counterinsurgency, most of the capable generals have been transferred, and now there are not many generals in Hangzhou who can lead the troops alone, and generals like Gao Xuewu are already considered to be among the best, otherwise there is no need to let the commander Qi Jie go into battle to command. Liu Feng had no one to use, so he let Qi Jie go into battle, but almost caused his own troops to collapse directly before the battle began, and this kind of performance must no longer be entrusted with important tasks.

Of course, Liu Feng can continue to send troops to launch an offensive, the army in Hangzhou City is not enough, and he can also mobilize people from the state capitals of Zhejiang, after all, from the perspective of the whole Zhejiang, if there is really a full-scale war, tens of thousands of Ming troops can still be scraped together. But the problem is that the effect that can be achieved by using a simple military advantage to deal with Haihan is not good, and if things are made out of control, Zhejiang officialdom will not be able to explain to the imperial court. You must know that some time ago, when the imperial court asked Zhejiang to send troops, it specifically instructed not to let the local chaos occur, so as not to destroy the overall situation of the imperial court first and then outside. It has only been less than a month, and the foreign army has been beaten to the city of Hangzhou, and if the imperial court knows the cause and effect, the officials of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division will have to bear the corresponding responsibility.

Wang Ji, the political envoy who originally had a lot of complaints about the main battle faction, saw the situation of today's battle, and his attitude can be seen without asking more, obviously he can't expect this political envoy to stand on the same front with himself to face the court's inquiries after the matter is big, Liu Feng must find a way to save himself.

So that night, a Ming army quietly touched out of the city of Hangzhou and tried to launch a night attack on the Haihan camp on the Qiantang River. But it is said that it is a night attack, in fact, there is not much secrecy at all, after all, the Haihan camp is too close to Hangzhou City, and as soon as there is a wind and grass on the city gate, Haihan can basically monitor it in real time. Although the Ming army boldly launched a charge after approaching the Haihan camp, the effect was not ideal, and the Haihan defenders in the camp responded with musket fire.

Although the sky provided excellent cover for the Ming army's offensive, the extremely poor visibility was actually a double-edged sword, and the Ming army gave up the use of torches and other lighting tools in the attack in order not to become a live target, which not only reduced the shooting accuracy of the Haihan soldiers, but also caused great trouble for them to pass through the obstacle area outside the camp. If you want to quickly pass through the fortifications more than 30 meters deep in the dark night, which are composed of barbed wire, large and small traps, and horizontal deer and horses, it is not easy for even a veteran to complete it, and there are constantly whistling of bullets cutting through the air above and around your head, as well as the screams of your companions after being shot and wounded, it is easy to lose your way in the dark.
