Wu Zheng sighed in his heart and bowed to Empress Zeng, "Please take the lead. The fastest update ┏┛"

Queen Zeng glanced at Wu Zheng with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

But she didn't say anything, just lowered her head and turned to the sedan chair.

At this time, Huang Daozhou also came forward to lead Empress Zeng to promote his charity.

Everyone left immediately, returned to the official road, and headed to the port.

At this point, Wu Zheng's goal had been achieved. He should have taken Zhu Youjian to the port and then left the port to the sea. If the Qing army had no navy, it would be safe.

But as Wu Zheng said, how could the Qing army allow Zhu Youjian to escape?

At this time, Li Chengdong had already led the main force to Fuzhou City. He heard that a Ming army of unknown origin rescued Zhu Youjian and fled to the port. He immediately ordered a large army to be sent to pursue him. He led 3,000 cavalry to take the lead.

Without Zhu Youjian, Empress Zeng and concubines, Li Chengdong would not be able to catch up with the cavalry of Wu Zheng who had retreated even if he had wings.

A hundred miles away from Fuzhou, when Li Chengdong arrived, Wu Zheng got on the boat in the morning.

But there is no if in the world. Zhu Youjian and others' sedan chairs greatly slowed down the marching speed.

There was no suspense that Wu Zheng's troops were caught up by Qing soldiers more than ten miles away from the port.

It's like God is destined.

If Li Chengdong hadn't led his army to chase him, Wu Zheng wouldn't have lost control and hit the stone with an egg.

During this advance, Wu Zheng led only one thousand cavalry.

These thousand cavalry are also the limit of the fleet's ability to carry war horses when they go south this time.

A war horse weighs eight to ten soldiers in a single weight, not to mention various equipment.

Leading a thousand cavalry to rush into Fuzhou was the result of Wu Zheng’s discussion with Zhang Mingzhen.

The Qing army is now advancing rapidly, occupying various counties and passes, with its troops quite scattered, and it is difficult to gather enough troops to threaten a thousand cavalry in one day, and would never have expected the Qingtai Dynasty to cross the sea to fight.

Therefore, it seems to be risky to advance with a small number of cavalry, but it is actually the most suitable one. Advance can attack and retreat can defend. As long as you don’t want to fight, the speed of the cavalry is enough to deal with all emergencies.

But neither Wu Zheng nor Zhang Mingzhen expected that Li Chengdong, as the head coach of one side, would lead the forward to pursue him personally.

When Wu Zheng heard that Li Chengdong was chasing him, the situation began to lose control.

The three words Li Chengdong are like a nightmare that lingers Wu Zheng all the time.

The glance before the war of Wu Zhifan was still deeply imprinted in Wu Zheng's mind.

The kind of looking at the corpses in the city, the broken limbs and the broken arms, the smell of rotten corpses in the city, and the fear between life and death was like an indelible nightmare, biting Wu Zheng's heart, and he would always retching whenever he thought about it.

All of this was thanks to Li Chengdong. In Wu Zheng's heart, killing Li Chengdong ended the nightmare that had bothered him for two years.

This battle almost broke out suddenly.

The cavalry soldiers were not prepared at all to fight this battle with no chance of victory.

The Qing cavalry, including Li Chengdong, did not expect that the Ming cavalry would seek death and attack.

When the two armies encounter each other, even if the brave ones win on a narrow road, they have a chance to win. With one thousand to three thousand, there is almost no chance of victory without a surprise attack.

As Wu Zheng said before the war, "The person who chased Li Chengdong, the culprit who slaughtered Jiading three times that day, would kill this thief with me."

Without any suspense, the Qing cavalry, who were hastily penetrated the formation by Wu Zheng's troops, quickly surrounded them from both sides after a brief panic.

When Wu Zheng was closest to Li Chengdong, he was only a hundred steps away, but he was just a short distance away.

Can't conquer it.

Li Chengdong has a long cheek and a kind face. If he walks on the road in casual clothes, anyone will think he is a kind person.

But his heart was full of resentment. When he came back from the initial shock, he issued an order to completely annihilate the Ming army.

Everyone was red in their eyes.

Whether it is the Ming army or the Qing army.

Suddenly, this battle seemed to turn into a battle for honor, fighting for honor.

It seems that defeating the opponent at this time can change the entire battle situation.

Wu Zheng was filled with fighting spirit with blood in front of him. The fierce fight that had been nearly incense did not exhaust his strength at all. He still felt that he was full of strength.

He kept attacking in the direction where Li Chengdong was and then attacked.

I don’t know how many people fell under Wu Zheng’s knife, and the knife in their hands had been replaced by three.

Every time the blade is rolled, someone will silently hand over a knife.

Wu Zheng was very easy and satisfied.

"Come on the knife." But this time, the knife was not handed over.

After wielding a knife to cut off a Qing army's head, Wu Zheng shouted loudly, but he did not respond for a long time.

Wu Zheng turned his head in confusion and glanced, which made him feel cold.

There were only dozens of people behind him, and they had been separated by the Qing army and fell into a hard battle.

"Sir, retreat!" A personal guard almost cried and shouted this sentence, and was then slashed by the Qing army and fell into a pool of blood.

Wu Zheng was awakened by this scene. Looking at Li Chengdong, whose facial features could be clearly seen in the distance, Wu Zheng finally woke up.

With a loud shout, he cut over a Qing army who wanted to kill him by Salemzi. Wu Zheng retreated while swinging his sword.

But at this time, how can there be a way out?

After going through a lot of hardships, he moved closer to dozens of personal guards behind him. Looking at the Qing army surrounding more and more, Wu Zheng felt a deep sense of sadness and fatigue.

This result was unexpected by Wu Zheng. He overestimated the combat power of himself and his cavalry.

The successive battles and the restoration of Yingtian Mansion encouraged Wu Zheng's blind self-confidence.

He thought that the cavalry under his command, tempered by the war, was enough to compete with the Qing army, and even higher than the Qing army.

Surprisingly, it was Wu Zheng's basic tactical idea to launch this assault battle. His purpose was to hold Li Chengdong, attract Li Chengdong, and then use naval cannons to kill Li Chengdong.

He wanted to repeat the scene in Hangzhou City, use himself and Longwu as bait to hurt Li Chengdong, and then lure the enemy into the deeper.

Wu Zheng never thought of seeking death. What he wanted from beginning to end was victory.

But the facts proved that Wu Zheng was wrong and overthinking.

Li Chengdong was far from the way he imagined that he was about to collapse. His cavalry were also veterans of war.

But at this time, it was obviously too late to wake up. Wu Zheng looked at the remaining guards beside him guiltily, and his uncle's majestic figure appeared in front of him in Jiading City, "You go, I am the one who is your palace behind."

Uncle also said this, Wu Zheng just repeated it based on his memory, but he couldn't say that he was so tragic.

But the reactions of the soldiers around him were surprisingly similar.

The guards shouted in unison, "Sir, let's go first, we will be the back of the Grandpa Palace."

After this sound, the guards gathered up their last strength to open a passage for Wu Zheng. Unfortunately, the number of people was too small, and the distance between this passage would never exceed five feet.

The passage lasted only for a few breaths, and even if you wanted to leave, you couldn't leave.

For this passage, more than a dozen guards around Wu Zheng were missing.
