Chapter 451: Ambush Ke Yongsheng
Looking at the endless grain transport teams, listening to Wu Zheng telling the story of the battle in Daoxu.
Standing at the top of the city, Jin Shenghuan felt countless grassland beasts passing by in his heart in an instant.
This is not only for Wu Zheng, but also for Ke Yongsheng who retreated to Lihai without authorization.
If this guy had come to meet him early, why would this be like this?
Looking at Wu Zheng's face of the bill, Jin Shenghuan burst into tears. It seemed that the Qingtai Dynasty might not be as weak as he imagined, and the Qing court might not be as strong as it seemed.
At least the loss of Shaoxing Prefecture represents the complete loss of Qing court's control in eastern Zhejiang. How can the Qing army without a decent naval army break through the defense line of the Ming army's naval army in the battle on the Yangtze River?
Thinking of this, Jin Shenghuan will calm down. If he surrenders, it may not be a bad thing.
But Jin Shenghuan looked at Wang Deren with some resentment, and this guy actually surrendered in front of me.
....
As the saying goes, when the wall falls, people push it, and when the drum breaks, thousands of people beat it.
No one expected that a Daoxu granary would cause a decisive battle that concentrated nearly 20,000 people.
In this decisive battle, the Ming army made a mistake and defeated more than 10,000 Qing troops at a small cost.
Although it is only a defeat and cannot be annihilated, this strategic victory has determined the final victory or loss of the Shaoxing Battle.
In the afternoon of that day, Chen Sheng, Li Ruhai and Lu Yuan took the opportunity to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Qing army outside Lihai.
Ke Yongsheng fought stubbornly for an afternoon. Although he was not defeated by Li Haiming's army, his area was slowly shrinking.
That night, Wu Zheng, who had aired the Daoxu granary in Shaoxing City, made a pre-war mobilization at the Xizhaichang. To sum up, it was just a sentence, "It is better to chase Yu Yong to pursue the enemy."
Whether it was Fang Guoan's Ministry, Wang Deren's Ministry, or Jin Shenghuan's Ministry, they were all sent out.
The Cao'e River along the river, Daoxue, and Shangyu were used to carry out a comprehensive encirclement of the Lihai Qing army.
At this time, Wu Zheng's appetite was gradually raised.
His request for his generals has changed from expelling the Qing army and annihilated the Qing army of Shaoxing Prefecture.
As the situation developed, Wu Zheng, who originally wanted to drive away the Qing army from Shaoxing Prefecture, began to show his "fear".
Beating the dog in the water! When Wu Zheng shouted this sentence loudly, the soldiers were all excited.
Everyone understands that the Qing army was defeated by the occupation of the Daoxue granary, and the accidental loss of the Qing army in the Daoxue battle was equivalent to confirming the defeat of the other half.
Even Jin Shenghuan, who was unwilling to surrender to the Qingtai Dynasty, firmly fought for the war with Wu.
The end of the Qing army in Shaoxing Prefecture is not far away.
Just after midnight, more than 10,000 troops left Shaoxing Prefecture, like three fire dragons, stretching on three roads eastward.
At the time of Yin, before the sky was dawn, the Ming army directly launched an attack on the Lihai Qing army.
The momentum and decisive attack are the best in this battle.
....
Faced with the attack from the enemy in four directions (including Li Haiming Army), Ke Yongsheng might not be able to withstand even if he had the ability to make stones into gold.
With the sudden reduction of troops, it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.
But Ke Yongsheng was not like Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren, he was a righteous and classical Qing Dynasty general, and the word surrender never appeared in his mind.
So Ke Yongsheng ordered a breakout, and the direction was still the post pavilion.
At this time, Ke Yongsheng had at least 15,000 troops under his command. He left a side army behind the hall, and took advantage of the night to go to the post pavilion.
The leftover master is mixed with real money and silver.
At least a thousand of them were Ke Yongsheng's direct descendants.
This is not surprising. Under such extreme disadvantages, leaving the palace back is like a dead end. Without real money and silver infiltrating, the morale of the army behind the palace cannot be raised.
This Qing army with less than 5,000 people was indeed brave and dragged down the attack of the Ming army in four directions. Of course, the night also gave the Qing army great convenience.
The Ming army knew that the victory had been decided, and every general did not want any major casualties, so the attack was undecisive.
When it was dawn, the Ming army discovered that the Qing army surrounded was just a Qing army behind the palace, and the main force of the enemy had disappeared.
In a rage, he immediately launched an assault on the partial division, completely annihilated, and did not allow a single person to escape.
....
The post pavilion has developed from a small post pavilion that was unknown in ancient times to a key pass.
Then, when the Qing army broke into Shaoxing Prefecture, the Ming army rose up here to resist, and became famous for Zhang Guowei's heroic "faithful death".
The literati of Jiangnan have beautified it into a sacred holy land of the War of Resistance.
However, the constant change of hands did not make the city defense of the Yiting Pass stronger, but instead declined due to the constant war.
Ke Yongsheng judged from this that even if the Ming army deployed heavy troops to intercept him, the city defense, which was only one meter high in the post pavilion, could not stop him from fighting with his back and fighting to the death.
What's more, judging from the deployment of the Ming army on the Lihai battlefield, the Ming army should not have the possibility of deploying heavy troops in the Yiting Pavilion.
Yiting was the only retreat channel for the Qing army besides sea routes.
Ke Yongsheng knew, Wu Zheng knew, and everyone knew.
Since we all know, there is a possibility that it will be dark under the light.
The Ming army may not necessarily think that it dared to make a desperate attack and break through the Yiting Pavilion.
When Ke Yongsheng went to the outside of Yiting City, he looked at the deserted and neighbouring outer edge, and felt relieved.
If there are tens of thousands of people in this broken city, it will definitely not be hidden. Since there is no abnormality, it means that the strength of the troops in the city will definitely not exceed five or six thousand.
A smile appeared on the corner of Ke Yongsheng's mouth. The young Duke of the Qingtai Dynasty was a little embarrassed after all.
"Attack! Take the post pavilion and we can advance westward!" Ke Yongsheng's brief pre-war mobilization made the Qing army's morale high.
Indeed, for those in desperate situations, giving them a slim hope can arouse their potential.
More than 10,000 Qing troops were then divided into two routes to the west of the post pavilion, and the two south gates launched charges and attacks at the same time.
This kind of charge has no reserve team, and it is a real battle against the enemy.
Even if the Ming army set up an ambush in the city, it could not stop this general attack all over the mountains, because just as Ke Yongsheng thought, there were indeed only more than 5,000 Ming troops in the post Pavilion.
More than 5,000 Ming troops, plus the dilapidated city walls, faced with more than 10,000 enemies' life-and-death charge, it would be a bloody battle with a high probability of defeat or defeat.
But the question is, is Wu Zheng that stupid?
He knew that the Qing army had only one single-plank bridge for the retreat of the Yiting Pavilion, and Zhang Guowei led his army to occupy the Yiting Pavilion because he wanted to cut off the Qing army's retreat route.
Will Wu Zheng not take care of the post Pavilion because of misjudgment?
This is obviously impossible!
He had already had the idea of annihilation of the Qing army of Shaoxing Prefecture. How could Wu Zheng not strengthen the defense capabilities of the Yiting Pass?
Therefore, the desertedness outside Yiting City is actually a very obvious abnormality.
Chapter completed!
