Qian Sudian did not log in with Yanguan according to the pre-scheduled plan.

Instead, he went to Haining to get ashore.

The reason is that Qian Sudian believes that if he transfers from Yanguan to the north to catch the Tatars' retreat, he may encounter the main force of the Tatars.

If the 60,000 vanguards of the army were destroyed, they would be vigilant no matter what.

If the cavalry battalion happened to encounter the main force of the enemy, it would be too unworthy to die.

Therefore, Qian Sudian made a temporary decision that for the sake of safety, he would rather go around a hundred miles from Haining to the shore and encircle along the official road through Tongxiang.

Facts have proved that Qian Sudian's judgment was correct.

After learning that the vanguard was destroyed, the Tatar army divided up a partial army to stay in Jiaxing Prefecture.

In other words, if the traces of Qian Sudian's troops were discovered by the Tartars, they would be attacked from front to back.

But Qian Sudian was still too conservative. If he went ashore a hundred miles east and chose Haiyan to go ashore, he could completely escape the threat of the partial tatars in Jiaxing Mansion.

Tongxiang was between Jiaxing and Hangzhou, which means that Qian Sudian's caution did not allow his troops to escape from the danger of being attacked by both ends.

At this time, Qian Sudian and the Tartars of Jiaxing Mansion were unaware of each other.

The situation became very confused, but the balance was tilting towards the Tartars.

When Qian Sule led his troops from Haining to a place called Pingqiaotou near Tongxiang, the scouts who came out suddenly responded, and there was a battle ahead, and the number of people on both sides of the war reached three to four thousand.

Qian Sule heard this and rushed to inspect.

In fact, at this time, you don’t need to guess that one side must be a Tartar, but it is difficult to guess who the other side is.

The whole route from Hangzhou to Jiaxing was previously occupied by the Qing army. Li Zicheng's remaining troops had retreated to Jiangxi and Huguang areas. At this time, they were cooperating with the Longwu Dynasty and fighting the Tatars in Jiangxi.

And the Ming army has almost disappeared here, either retreating south or seeking to the Qing Dynasty.

So who will this army be?

When Qian Sudian saw the battlefield, he was shocked.

What is this an army?

None of them were wearing military uniforms, and the weapons in their hands were even more bizarre.

Hats, kitchen knives, wooden sticks, hoes, rakes, etc., there are only unexpected things, nothing that does not exist.

The Tartar infantry in Sanniulu chased and fought about 900 people.

This is simply a strange thing.

But one thing is certain, this team is a Ming people.

Qian Sudian hesitated, could he save him?

This place is only seventy or eighty miles away from Jiaxing Prefecture and more than a hundred miles away from Hangzhou Prefecture. If the Tartars are alarmed, it will turn the encirclement and sneak attack into a field battle.

In this way, the situation will be extremely dangerous if the 600 people under your command are in extreme danger.

But Qian Sudian is really a species of the Qian family, and his character is comparable to that of the old man Qian.

Without hesitation, Qian Sudian decisively ordered the rescue of this Ming team.

In his opinion, Wu Zheng did not have too much expectations for his cavalry camp to leave the city, so regardless of his success or failure, it would not have much impact on the offensive and defensive battle in Hangzhou City.

Since this is the case, being able to save three thousand people is victory. As for what will turn out, just take one step and see.

So, the cavalry battalion suddenly launched a charge to the battlefield.

The Tartars even thought that they were coming from their own people, because of this size of cavalry, there would be no Ming army north of Hangzhou.

They were not even bothered to look back and kept chasing the Ming people's team.

It was very ridiculous. The three thousand Ming people running in the front ran away, and nearly a thousand Tartars chased them desperately.

Behind is the galloping cavalry battalion.

It was not until the slow-running soldiers of the Tatars rear army screamed and fell under the cavalry knife that the Tatars realized that they were not their own people behind them.

But by this time, it was too late.

They couldn't even turn around and resist, and were used as a free target by the cavalry battalion soldiers and practiced swinging swords on the horse's back.

Here, the team of Ming people who were running away noticed the abnormality and began to turn around.

Under the attack of two hatchbacks, victory is destined.

Qian Sudian ordered the battlefield to be quickly cleaned and evacuated here.

Everyone in the Ming team was cheering, glad to victory, as if they were fighting this victory.

But when they found out that the cavalry battalion was about to leave, everyone fell silent at the same time.

A young man who was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old and was dressed in a filial piety rushed towards Qian Sudian.

"Xia Wanchun, a young man from Xiajiangzuo, dare you ask this master who is under the command of which general he wants to go, can you bring us with you?"

Qian Sudian shook his head and said, "I am a hundred households under the command of King Lu of Shaoxing Prefecture, who have important military affairs, and cannot carry you."

Unexpectedly, the young man Xia Wanchun said, "This lord, we are all loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Our father's name is Shang Yunxia Yi. He was once the magistrate of Changle County, Fujian. His family's name is Chen Wei Zilong. He was the Left Minister of War of the Longwu Dynasty and the Left Censor of the Left Censor."

Qian Sudian was shocked when he heard this, "Are you talking about Mr. Wozi?"

“That’s right.”

Qian Sudian was shocked. Chen Zilong was not an ordinary person. The Hongguang Dynasty was destroyed. When King Lu first came to Shaoxing Prefecture to supervise the country, he wanted to seek him as the Minister of War. However, Chen Zilong refused and accepted the title of Longwu Dynasty and was the Left Minister of War and the Left Censor.

But he did not go to Fujian to take office, but stayed in Songjiang, supervised and worked in Taihu righteous army Wu Yi's troops to recruit local righteous men to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

"Where is Mr. Wozi now?"

"The family teacher... is now discouraged and is at home."

Qian Sudian was stunned, "Why is Mr. Wozi like this?"

Xia Wanchun's face turned dark and replied, "When the family master saw Wu Yi being reckless and underestimated the enemy, the tent was all frivolous and the generals were just plundering. The troops were not rectified, and the military discipline was gradually slacking off, so he cut off his relationship with him. After that, his father threw himself into the lake and died for his country. The family master was completely disappointed and kept his door shut down and ignored the world."

Qian Sudian was stunned for a while and said, "Then you guys...?"

Xia Wanchun said: "These are all righteous men in Songjiang Prefecture and surrounding areas. Many people followed their father and family masters earlier. Now that their father is not here, their family masters are disheartened. These people...will take me as the main force and insist on the great cause of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty."

Qian Sudian was embarrassed, "Xia Wanchun, it's not that I am unwilling to help, but that I do have urgent matters. I believe you should know that the Tatar army is attacking Hangzhou City. I am ordered to lead cavalry to surround the Tatars' retreat, cut off the enemy's retreat, and food and salary, and I really can't take your troops to."

Xia Wanchun said anxiously: "Sir, we are all locals. We are familiar with the Tao. Taking us with us will definitely be helpful to our military affairs."

"This... I am all under my command of a cavalry, and the speed is extremely fast. I'm afraid...?"

Qian Sudian said as he looked at the group of ragged rebels. Although he didn't say it thoroughly, his meaning was already very clear.

Xia Wanchun blushed and said, "Sir, I laughed. My family has been sold out. My fellow villagers have already helped me, but my army has not been able to get food and salary supplies... But I can't underestimate them. They are truly loyal and righteous people."
