The same is true for Shaoxing Prefecture.

Fenghua only lasted for two days, and the Qing army easily broke through the city gate, and three thousand Ming troops in the city collapsed.

This is not a mistake for the soldiers. It is already good to be able to defend for two days in the face of the attacks of 30,000 Qing troops, and they cannot be more demanding on them.

Duoduo did not stop for one more day, and immediately ordered two troops to march directly at Shangyu.

All the way through Chenxi to Fenghui, south of Fenghui is Lingnan, that is, Pinggang Mountain, north of Fenghui is Wuzhuang.

On the other side, you will pass through Yiting to Yonghe and go directly to Shaoxing Prefecture.

The Ming army along the way only existed as a hundred households and retreated to Shaoxing Prefecture.

The Qing army was like entering a deserted land, almost as if it was going south to capture Nanjing.

However, there is still a difference. The Qing army no longer massacred the city.

This is not that the Tartars learned to benevolence from Han Confucianism, but that they already have awe in their hearts.

This awe comes from the struggle and strength of the Ming people.

Many times, using evil to control evil is the real way to shock the enemy.

This is like attack instead of defense. Only by making the other party afraid is the real way to protect the people in the occupied areas.

Wu Zheng went to Hangzhou and Jiaxing to fight northern expeditions, and won consecutive battles, defeated and annihilated no less than 80,000 Tartars.

And he has never been too kind to prisoners.

To stop killing, so far, except for the Ming army surrendered, there is no prisoner of the Eight Banners who can leave alive.

Even the brutal Tartars couldn't help but think about this kind of cruelty. If one day he became a prisoner, would he be tortured by the Ming army for massacre of the Ming people?

This is different from a popular saying at this time. It is popular at this time. Only by surrendering can we avoid being massacred by the Tartars after they are destroyed.

This statement is very marketable and can confuse ordinary people, and even some local officials believe it.

But in fact, only by fighting to the death and hurting the Tartars can they develop a sense of awe.

This has already emerged since the time of Wu's fight for the Northern Expedition.

Since the capture of Taizhou, the Qing army has been silent on the word "slaughtering the city".

The Ming army who followed Duoduo surrendered, even less dared to do anything.

But this did not affect the Qing army led by Duoduo to advance towards Shaoxing Prefecture without any force.

Shaoxing Mansion is very weak, really weak.

This weakness refers to the physique of the people of Shaoxing. Literature is in power and military officials are declining. The most common people in Shaoxing are literati and poets.

However, the integrity of the gentry and people of Shaoxing Prefecture is no less than that of the people of Jiangyin.

After the Qing army invaded Shangyu Realm, the two armies were blocked in Yiting and Fenghui and could not go further.

In a certain aspect, compared with Jiangyin, the situation faced by the military and civilians of Shaoxing Prefecture is even more difficult.

Jiangyin is guarded by the city, but except for Shaoxing City, Shaoxing Prefecture is surrounded by small counties. There are very few wars in the southeast, and most of the cities are not high. Some county walls are only one meter high, and some are even disrepaired for a long time and have long been dilapidated.

The Ming army faced not only outnumbered, but also more difficult, without any danger.

But Mingjun did it.

They delayed the two armies of Duoduo in the Yiting and Fenghui for three days and could not take a step forward.

Yiting is a small town with a population of only more than 10,000, and the small town is only ten miles in a radius.

But its position is very important. If it breaks through it, the Qing army will go straight to the hinterland of Shaoxing Prefecture.

Originally, Zhu Meiyu transferred 6,000 people from the two guards to guard, but after Chen Sheng took the initiative to lead his troops to Fenghui, Zhu Meiyu stationed the two guards at Fenghui, transferred one guard to enrich the defense of the Yiting Pavilion, so the Yiting Pavilion had nine thousand Ming troops.

Its commander was Zhang Huangyan, the then Minister of War.

Zhang Huangyan's military talent was almost impossible, but his appeal was strong. He transferred his military command to Liao Zhongping, and he was responsible for conscription and dispatch.

In just three days, the number of soldiers recruited was as high as 5,000.

Although it was a farmer who had just put down his hoe, in the era of cold weapons, and the use of these five thousand people in the city was enough to make the Qing army stop at the city.

In three days, Yiting City remained motionless under the fierce attack of 15,000 Qing troops.

However, the casualties caused by this were also considerable, with nearly 4,000 casualties, while the Qing army suffered less than 2,000 casualties.

Zhu Mai urgently dispatched 3,000 people from the last guard of Shaoxing Prefecture to help the post pavilion to stabilize the defense.

And the Battle of Fenghui seems a little easier.

There is a cavalry in Pinggang Village, which has been expanded one thousand five hundred people.

He was trained by Qian Qiaogong for two months and participated in the Battle of the Three Realms.

It is no longer in the category of recruits and rookies.

With the training over the past few months, I have already gained combat power.

There were 3,000 infantrymen in the mountain village. In addition to the one thousand left behind, Chen Sheng brought two thousand people, plus three thousand guards in Shaoxing Prefecture, and the number of Ming soldiers in Fenghui was 6,500.

The Tartar troops coming to attack were 10,000.

Fenghui City is even smaller, with a radius of only six miles.

But it has an advantage, it only has one passage with Pinggang Mountain in Lingnan, and this road passes through Fenghui City.

Fenghui City is not on the official road from Chenxi to Shaoxing Prefecture, which means that the Tartars marched into Shaoxing Prefecture, but they could actually ignore Fenghui and pounce directly on Shaoxing.

But if the Tartars really did this, Fenghui's Ming army could cut off the Qing army's retreat from it.

Due to the limitations of the terrain, the Qing army could only fight Fenghui to the death, intending to remove this nail and clear the obstacles.

As a result, a fierce battle between both sides broke out.

After three days of Kung Fu, both sides were red in their eyes. Fenghui North Gate changed hands several times. If Chen Sheng had not placed 1,500 cavalrymen in advance in the direction of Ding's house in the northwest of Fenghui, and assaulted the middle road of the Tartars at a critical moment, he would have really not been able to defend Fenghui.

The Tartars attacking Fenghui had no cavalry, and they were so angry that they gritted their teeth for the elusive cavalry of the Ming army.

But the human legs couldn't catch up, so I could only watch the Ming cavalry disappear every time.

After three days of fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted.

In this way, we entered a temporary stalemate at the same time.

Shaoxing Prefecture Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Ma's Scripture met Zhu Yihai, King of Lu.

"King Lu, you leave Shaoxing and retreat to Hangzhou Prefecture."

Zhu Yihai was stunned. He had a fierce fight with some officials these days, and he wanted to retreat.

There are only more than 10,000 soldiers in Shaoxing Prefecture, and the whole way is flat. How can it be possible to stop Duodou's army of more than 30,000?

Even a military idiot, I'm afraid he can understand this truth.

But the problem is that if Shaoxing Prefecture was head of Zhu Meiyu, although she was a young woman, she was supported by a group of important officials such as Qian Sule, Zhang Guowei, and Zhang Huangyan. Zhu Yihai could not really control the decisions of the court, so it was just a fuss!

But just yesterday, Zhu Yihai and others stopped making trouble.

The Ming army blocked the Tartars for three days at Yiting and Fenghui, preventing them from moving forward.

This made Zhu Yihai and others feel that Shaoxing Prefecture can still be defended.

With this hope, we will naturally stop making trouble.
