Chapter 139: Crossing the Qiantang River

"Cross the river!"

On the side of the Qiantang River, Su Yan looked at Fuyang County on the other side of the river, and with a wave of his hand, his soldiers and horses crossed the river along the cross-river bridge, and the military flags were surging, and the voices of the people were boiling.

The defenders of Fuyang County gave up resistance when the Ming army appeared on the opposite bank, and the Fuyang staff general and Zhixian abandoned the city and fled, leaving the people of the city and the garrison green battalion behind.

Seeing that the general and the magistrate had fled, the green battalion soldiers stationed there also took off their uniforms, dropped their weapons, and turned around and fled into the city.

Therefore, after the Ming army crossed the river, they saw that the city gate of Fuyang County was wide open, and the streets were empty.

Such a scene also made the Ming army forwards suspicious, they subconsciously thought that it was a trap set by the Qing army, waiting for them to break into the net and throw themselves into the net, but then, after they tentatively entered the city to investigate, they found that there was no defender in the city, and the Ming army put their minds at ease and took over the whole city.

This day is March 18.

After conquering Fuyang County, Su Yan took Fuyang County as the bridgehead on the north bank of the Qiantang River, and more soldiers and horses crossed the river one after another.

Hangzhou Mancheng was established last year, and the Manchurian Eight Banners and their families were stationed in it, with the purpose of suppressing the anti-Qing uprising in Zhejiang, maintaining local stability, and maintaining the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, when the Ming army crossed the Qiantang River and sharpened its sword to Hangzhou, Li Shutai immediately recruited soldiers in the city, as the so-called all the people are soldiers, under the threat of the Ming army, up to the seventy-year-old man, down to the young man who has not yet reached the crown, they were all incorporated into the Eight Banners Army, and for a time actually pulled up more than 2,000 Manchurian soldiers.

Li Shutai did not think of using the Qiantang River as a line to block the Ming army on the south bank of the Qiantang River, but he dispelled this idea before he could take action.

Once the Qing army tried to defend along the river, the Ming army's naval division could sail into the Qiantang River to cover the crossing of the river, and bombard the Qing army on the shore with boat-borne artillery.

Moreover, the number of soldiers and horses that he Li Shutai can mobilize is not much, except for the 5,000 Han army banners under the command of Gushan Ezhen Liu Zhiyuan, more than 2,000 people of the Hangzhou City Guard Association and more than 1,000 people of the Hangzhou Eight Banners Army, Jiaxing and Huzhou can not mobilize the soldiers and horses, and the people in various places are unstable.

It is a complete fool's dream to guard the north bank of the long and narrow Qiantang River with only 10,000 soldiers and horses, especially since the Ming army also has the right to control the sea, and they can completely cross the river without crossing the river from several major bridges and ferries, but forcibly crossing the river under the cover of the naval division warships, and the Qing army cannot defend against it.

Therefore, Li Shutai chose the most conservative and stable strategy, he gave up the maintenance of stability in Jiaxing and Huzhou, transferred the soldiers and horses of the two places to Hangzhou, and contracted in Hangzhou as much as possible, and defended according to the city, as long as they could hold until the reinforcements arrived, it would be considered victory.

Su Yan was not unaware of Li Shuitai's attention, when he learned that the Qing army's troops were shrinking in Hangzhou and giving up other state capitals, he immediately saw Li Shuitai's thoughts, since Li Shuitai took the initiative to give up other state capitals north of the Qiantang River except Hangzhou Mansion, then he was not polite.

After repairing in Fuyang County for a day, Su Yan led his army to advance to Hangzhou, and on the 20th, he approached Hangzhou.

In order to prevent the Qing army from concentrating on the siege after the division of troops to break through, Su Yan chose to concentrate his forces to besiege the Fengshan Gate in the south of the city, the Qiantang Gate and the Wulin Gate in the west of the city, and at the same time he boldly ordered Wang Yi to lead the cavalry battalion to bypass the city of Hangzhou and go straight to Jiaxing and Huzhou.

Of course, it was very difficult for the more than 1,000 cavalry to recover the two cities, so his main task for Wang Yi was to encourage the people in the countryside to rise up, so that more people could respond to the Ming army as much as possible.

In addition to Wang Yi, the sailors led by Huang An were not idle, they returned to the vast ocean after evacuating from Ningbo, and then received orders to sail into the Qiantang River, blocking the road to cross the Qiantang River from Fengshan Gate, and assisting the army divided here to besiege the city gate.

On the other side, the Xiao cavalry battalion led by Wang Yi won the welcome of many people after entering the boundary between Jiaxing Mansion and Huzhou Mansion, and under Wang Yi's hype and encouragement, many people raised their arms and chanted, raised anti-flags and joined a member of the anti-Qing forces, they drove away the local Qing army officials, occupied several county seats, and took the initiative to send envoys to Su Yan to express their willingness to return to the rule of the Ming court.

In just ten days, more than 20 rebels appeared between Jiaxing and Huzhou, and even on the border of Jiangnan Province, which brought great trouble to the local Qing army, which was exactly what Su Yan was willing to see.

After receiving the envoys sent by the righteous army, Su Yan waved his hand and gave them different banners, saying that as long as Zhejiang was recovered, they would all be heroes of the imperial court and would be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor.

The anti-Qing struggle in Zhejiang was in full swing, and on the other hand, the life of Lu Wangjun, who was entrenched on Chongming Island, was a little uncomfortable.

After being identified as the number one target by Bolo, most of the Qing troops in Jiangnan Province were transferred to both sides of the Yangtze River and began to levy ships to carry foot soldiers with great fanfare, and the clouds of war had hung over the surrounding area of Chongming Island.

In this atmosphere, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhang Huangyan, commanders of the Lu Wangjun, were a little restless, they could receive the latest movements of the Qing army on both sides of the Yangtze River almost every day, in order to avoid being annihilated by the Qing army on Chongming Island, Zhang Mingzhen decided to take the initiative to break through and return to the Zhoushan Islands.

For Zhang Mingzhen's decision, Zhang Huangyan did not object, although they were trapped on Chongming Island, but they also knew the development of the war in ZJ Province well, at present, Su Yan has led the army to besiege Hangzhou for many days, and most of the Qing troops in Jiangnan Province were contained by them on both sides of the Yangtze River, and the task assigned by Su Yan to Zhang Huangyan was also a success.

They chose to retreat at this time, although they were still suspected of betraying their teammates (after all, their teammates were still besieging Hangzhou Fucheng), but they were also helpless, they couldn't pay the price of annihilation in order to help their teammates take Fucheng, right?

Therefore, under the organization of Zhang Mingzhen, on the evening of 29 March, Lu Wangjun's army took advantage of the cover of night to launch a surprise attack on the Qing army's naval division cruising around Chongming Island.

In order to vent their anger, the Qing army landed on Chongming Island and carried out a bloody massacre of the people living on Chongming Island, and the people in Chongming County were wiped out

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the iReading app and read the latest chapters without ads for free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.
