Chapter 64 Ren Yong

The gate of the yard was already closed, otherwise the Qing army would have rushed in at this moment. After listening to the intense enthusiasm of Huang Zongxi and others in the yard, Shen Jiabao leaned obliquely against the wall and stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears for his wife.

"Madam, this time, I'm afraid we won't have the good luck we had in the previous two times."

During the fierce battle just now, Shen Jiabao, as the chief of armor, was injured and was protected by his subordinates. He had a knife wound and an arrow wound on his left leg and right arm. However, the bleeding caused him to start to show symptoms of weakness.

Seeing his own man like this, Shen Jiabao's wife's tears could no longer be stopped and dripped along his hand.

"The head of the family will never fall into the hands of the Tartars!"

As the woman spoke resolutely, she held a pair of scissors in her hand, as if she was ready to stab her sharp front end into the vital points of her house at any time.

In this way, the young couple looked at each other silently, as if time had stopped. However, after a long time, the Qing army still did not launch a final attack, and even the shouts of persuading surrender did not come.

"Listen, it seems, it seems to be a sound of gold!"

"Ming Jin?!"

Huang Zongxi widened his eyes, really unable to believe his brother screaming like a dream. This time, letting go of the cowards who had already escaped, there were only more than 200 people, most of whom had already died in the battle just now. How could there be a possibility that the Qing army Mingjin would withdraw their troops? But in the next second, even he could hear Mingjin's voice.

"Quick, go to the wall and take a look!"

Almost without Huang Zongxi's instructions, a few soldiers set up ladders and climbed up the wall. What they saw was the figure of the Qing army gradually withdrawing from the old camp.

"Maybe Duke Xiu has come to rescue me and wait?"

Helping life is a great kindness. Yesterday, Wanscheng, who was also a remnant of the eunuch party, said that it was Duke Xiuguo. However, this respectful title did not attract everyone's attention because they were also shocked by this possibility.

However, at this moment, Xu Xin, deputy general of the former battalion at the foot of Dalan Mountain, was almost surprised by the sound of the golden sound as the highest commander of the front line of the military operation to encircle and suppress Dalan Mountain.

"Which jingling Jin?!"

Xu Xin shouted loudly, and the personal soldiers and trusted officers below rushed to investigate. Another messenger ran up the mountain road with a whip and conveyed the order to continue the attack.

Mingjin's voice was not heard from this formation, which made Xu Xin suddenly feel a little uneasy, and in the next blink of an eye, this uneasy was even more frequent.

In the distance, as he saw the soldiers, he ordered the soldiers to run up the mountain. He was afraid that his equestrian might not be much better than the top ones among the Mongolian Tartars. But even such an equestrian master fell down from the war horse when he rushed to the hillside, and the war horse under his crotch was still running forward.

"Hell."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Xin slapped the talkative personal soldier beside him in the face, and then shouted to him: "It's broad daytime, have you heard of someone who saw the ghost in broad daytime? It's obvious that someone from the bandits fired a cold arrow on the mountain, and you can't tell it, idiot!"

When beating the drum, advance, and when beating the gold, retreat. This is the iron rule in the army. Even if the Extraordinary Battalion is just a feudal army, this point has always been firmly implemented. In particular, they are still elite troops in the Qing army in Zhejiang, which is even more so.

The movements at the foot of the mountain were unclear, and they did not dare to take any action, so they had to withdraw from the village temporarily to observe the further development of the situation and the next order.

In fact, someone fired a cold arrow on the mountain, which was not enough to affect the attack. However, the original formation at the foot of the mountain was too far away from the Qing army outside the old camp on the mountain, and the flag was not clear, and it was difficult to pass the golden drums on it. If you want to pass the order, you can only use the order to go up the mountain. However, the result was that someone fired a cold arrow, which further delayed the attack time.

A strange incident, the Qing army attacked the village was delayed for nearly two quarters of an hour. When they received the task again and were about to enter the village again, another messenger came, and ordered them to go down the mountain and meet with Xu Xin immediately.

This time it was not a strange thing about seeing a ghost, but a real threat that forced Xu Xin to give up the fat meat that had already reached his mouth.

"What! How could it be so fast?"

"Shi Shuai, the Ming army that killed them all came over on mules, and they stayed up and went to bed!"

Siming Mountain is connected to three prefectures and eight counties, among which Taizhou Prefecture is already in Chen Wen's hands, and Xinchang and Sheng County in the south are also at the mouth of the Ming army. Therefore, when the High-Ball Camp entered Siming Mountain, the primary task was definitely not to siege Dalan Mountain, but to scatter the horses to the south to prevent being raided by the Ming army. Xu Xin obviously did the same, but who knew that if they were guarding against him, he still encountered it, and he didn't know whether it was good luck or bad luck.

"How many people have come and what flags are used to see clearly?"

"When I replied to General Xu, the Ming army came along the mountain road in a mighty way, and there were 1,560 to 2,000 people. The camp number, Shu Beiyi did not see clearly, but the general's flag of the general who led the army was written by Pujiang Bolou, the general of Siming Mountain."

Chen Wen was granted the title of Duke Xiu and the five counts under his command. Xu Xin naturally had no reason for these extremely important military intelligence. The one who came was Lou Jiye. Although this general had always appeared in Chen Wen's army as a strategist, earlier information showed that this person's command ability seemed to be no less than that of other generals under Chen Wen.

But what he didn't know was that Lou Jiye would go on the battle as a general this time, whether he would take charge of the overall situation, or be a partial army, or just a vanguard officer, which caused Xu Xin's deep thoughts.

"There is no time left, let everyone on the mountain retreat. It doesn't matter whether the village is broken or not, and you must never destroy the overall situation!"

According to previous understanding, I thought that even if the Ming army came to rescue, they would have forcibly attacked one or two infantry battalions, and they could rest for a day after capturing Dalan Mountain and wait for their hard work. But who would have thought that Chen Wen actually created a new cavalry infantry battalion, and the speed of his marching was as fast as that would disrupt their rhythm.

Since the first encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain four years ago, although the Tibiao Battalion has almost achieved the merits of annihilation of the main force of the Ming army in Siming Mountain, the subsequent pursuit has made this land a sad place for them.

The current high-branded battalion is not the same as before. Over the past few years, especially the defeat and this expansion, their investment has caused Huang Degong to conquer bandits and seize Jiangbei. The elite troops that Emperor Hongguang were the pillars of the pillars of the army. In this way, although the organization was expanded, the average combat effectiveness still declined to varying degrees.

What's more, compared to Li Rong, Xu Xin did not have much confidence in his ability to command and fight. If he only counted the warriors, Li Rong was defeated by two against one and was still defeated. Today, he is only half of the Ming army, and the result is self-evident.

After giving the order to lead the troops back to the camp where he set out, Xu Xin led the main force to retreat to Liangnong Town. However, he formed a formation and fought in the mountains and finally broke through the defense of the camp. There were only a few defenders inside, but they were forced to reorganize the team down the mountain. Compared with the main force, the two guards who were already slightly tired took more time to return to the bottom of the mountain. Before he could leave, he ran into the Ming army's outpost troops head-on.

Due to Wang Jiang's disappearance, Chen Wen increased his intelligence collection in Shaoxing and Ningbo, and soon discovered the actions of Huang Zongxi and others.

However, when he learned the news, it was actually one step late for the Qing army. Especially when the intelligence personnel lurking in Shaoxing Prefecture City received the news that the Shaoxing Prefecture Office was ordered to prepare food and grass for the Extra Biao Battalion, he immediately understood the intention of the Qing army and had to change the established combat plan to march into Jiangxi and ordered the riding infantry battalion led by Lou Jiye to send troops to rescue.

In this way, from Jinhua Prefecture, Feixiong Camp quickly passed through Shengxian and Xinchang County lines, and the route that Chen Wen covered the people's evacuation was directly inserted into the hinterland of Siming Mountain. Here, he even met the two guards who fell in the last camp before the raising flag.

The flag was shaken, and as the forward, he immediately got off the mule in the first game. The fire soldiers led the mule to the side of the road and took care of it to prevent it from blocking the road of the subsequent troops.

As a riding infantry, Feixiong Camp is not convenient to carry wolf wickets. It also has a quick response to the nature of the troops. It is a spear array with the infantry bureau of the firearm team. The artillery is pulled by mules and cannon carts to hang behind, so it is impossible to participate in the battle here. However, the soldiers who had taken off the mules began to reorganize the team under the arrangement of the officers. The spearmen even assembled two specially made spears together, turning them into spears one by one, five feet long.

While the Ming army was reorganizing the team, the two guards were also forced to reorganize the team. They did not want to leave, but they were blocked on the road just after they went down the mountain. They wanted to retreat to the camp of Liangnong Town in an organized manner, either bypassing the Ming army or rushing directly. Of course, it is not impossible to scatter across the mountains and forests, but in that case, their system would inevitably be greatly damaged. No one would be willing to bear the blame of fleeing without fighting and even losing his troops to the defeat of the army.

The mountain road was narrow, and the follow-up troops of Feixiong Camp were still on the road, but at this moment, the troops on both sides were almost the same. One rushed day and night, while the other climbed up and down on Dalan Mountain and had a slightly relaxed battle to capture the village, all of which were exhausted. Judging from the combination of troops, both lacked cavalry and no artillery, and were pure infantry attacks.

As a result, Lou Jiye did not give these Qing troops any other time to have any other thoughts. After the troops were finished, they rang the war drums, and the forest with long spears began to pounce on the Qing army.

The pike soldiers, like the forest, rushed to the Qing army battle formation at the foot of the mountain with firm steps. As soon as they came into contact, the Qing army, which was also exhausted but far less than the Ming army in Zhejiang, was suppressed and retreated step by step.

Under the cover of the front row leader, the spearman crazily stormed the Qing army opposite. In the dense spears, almost a few spearmen aimed at one or two Qing army assassinated. With one eye on one or two, the Qing army, whose weapons were mostly inferior to those of humans, had no ability to fight back, let alone fight back.

"Send the order to drive them up the mountain and into the old camp!"

Lou Jiye's order was quickly spread to officers at all levels as the momentum was promoted, and the two wings quickly began to encircle a small range.

The four bureaus of Feixiong Camp were originally drawn from each battalion, with a large proportion of veterans. At this moment, the rapid attack was as fierce and steady as their speed of movement. The Qing army on the opposite side was originally the main force of the attack camp, but it was abandoned here. The morale of the army was a little unstable, but the entire Ming army's team was too fast, which made the unstable smell dispersed by the bloody smell of the battlefield before it was further fermented. However, once the battle was fought, it was hung up by the Ming army, and the unstable morale was hit by the long spear forest, and its morale immediately began to drip into the bottom of the valley at a falling speed.

The Ming army's attack continued. When they found that they were being driven to the mountain road when they were down the mountain by the Ming army, some veterans on the flank began to run into the nearby mountains and forests, hoping that they could get rid of this almost inevitable defeat.

Escape, like a dam that began to seep water under the pressure of a flood, initially, just squeezed out some water droplets from the gap, but as the crack gradually expanded under pressure, penetrated and dripped, it quickly turned into a splash, and the entire dam was destroyed.

In a blink of an eye, the "dike" between the old camp of Dalanshan and the first bureau of the Feixiong Camp of Zhejiang Ming Army collapsed. The Qing army in the brigade quickly began to collapse without causing effective damage to the Ming army due to continuous casualties. Even the two guards encouraged the last wave of morale and secretly ran into the forest with their personal soldiers.

In just one hour, the collapse was repeated, but the last time the rebel army had the large courtyard in the central army hall that could be used as the last fortification to resist, and Chen Wen was willing to send troops to rescue them, who were also under the banner of the Ming army, but the Qing army in the front battalion did not have such good luck.

The infantry of Feixiong Camp was designed to clear out the Qing army's defeated soldiers on the mountain road. Because the main weapons were too long, the mountains and forests did not enter it, but they just kept opening up the road to the mountain. When they found that the Ming army was not chasing the forest, the defeated soldiers were a little shocked. Unexpectedly, they planned to continue to cross the mountains and forests and flee towards Liangnong Town or some other place, but soon encountered the hunters lurking in the mountains and forests for a long time.

"middle!"

A soft cry in his heart, and the arrow shot out and penetrated straight into the eye socket of a Qing army, frightening the Qing army around him so much that he shouted and ran.

This sound was called out when shooting an arrow. It was Gan Cang's old habit. No one cared about this in the war barracks, but this was not allowed by the special operations team. After a few rounds of whips, he had to force himself to correct himself and recite silently in his heart.

Today's special operations team has been assisting Ma Xin and Hu Laijin in Taizhou and Wenzhou, although they still have more than a hundred people, their experience has been enriched. In the next few months, almost all of them have undergone rigorous training in the wild, including jungle combat, raids, street fighting, assassination, etc. It can even be said that they may not be as good as the battle camp in battle in a formation, but other means of killing enemies are even better.

The small organization is the biggest weakness of the special operations team, but the benefits of having few people and few people. This time, they were the first troops to set off when they rescued Dalan Mountain. Almost Chen Wen smelled the general intention of the Qing army and set off overnight, bypassing the Qing army's posts, the cavalry and the rebels along the way, lurking in the nearby mountains and forests, waiting for subsequent development.

Just now, they successfully delayed the time, and then escaped the preliminary search of the Qing army, some of them had already gone around the back of the old camp of Dalanshan Mountain and tried to sneak in. Those who stayed there continued to observe the movements of the Qing army, and they became hunters in the jungle.

In this way, the Qing army, who had lost its establishment in the jungle, blindly fled in the direction they thought they would be safe, but was always exposed to the sight of the special operations team, and was surrounded by wolves like lambs. The Ming army, who defeated the Qing army head-on, quickly opened up the road to the mountain.

"Governor Wang, Deputy Huang."

"Brother Lou."

Since receiving the news that Huang Zongxi threatened to rebuild Dalan Mountain, Chen Wen immediately figured out what the representative figure of the late Ming gentry, like his father, wanted to do.

Let them die, this idea has not appeared in his mind, at least at the moment when he was most angry. However, Huang Zongxi has been very helpful to him over the years, and Wang Jiang is also the internal affairs talent he longs for. Even some of the subsequent actions also require them to help him.

The most important thing is that the place where they are - Dalan Mountain, which is where Chen Wen will never allow the Qing army to slaughter again. The tragedy like the tenth year of Yongli in history must be rewritten, even two years ahead of schedule!

After confirming that the leaders were safe, Lou Jiye nodded to Luo Yongzhong. The special operation team that had previously managed to climb into the old camp and protected them retreated under Luo Yongzhong's leadership and entered the mountains and forests to hunt down the Qing army's defeated soldiers, and the defense here was handed over to the combat soldiers brought by Lou Jiye.

The devastating battle at the foot of the mountain just now, under the protection of the special operations team, they also watched a rough look on the mountain. The Qing army, which had just effectively suppressed them, was almost defeated in one blow when facing this Ming army. The original moral condescending mentality of a "righteous gentleman" facing the "remnants of the eunuch party" disappeared with the rescue of the Ming army. At this moment, they were all stunned and silent, but put Huang Zongxi in front.

"Brother Lou, how did Duke Xiu learn that the Tartars would come to siege us?"

Although Lou Jiye arrived less than an hour later, it was just right with the cooperation of the special operations team. At present, more than half of the rebel army formed by Huang Zongxi suffered casualties, and everyone was scared. He couldn't help but wonder if it was Chen Wen who deliberately did this.

"It depends on the information sent by Governor Wang and the intelligence department personnel lurking in Shaoxing Prefecture."

Huang Zongxi from the Information Department knew about it, but Lou Jiye clearly mentioned Wang Jiang, which made everyone look at Wang Jiang in surprise.

"The word "governor" is also asked to be exempted. Now Wang Jiang is just an ordinary person, just doing his best to do something for Duke Xiu and the Emperor Ming Zhongxing."

Wang Jiang agreed to Lou Jiye's remarks, which made everyone stare at this "capable official" who is famous for presiding over logistics and common affairs. In particular, Wan Sicheng always believed that it was Wang Jiang's hesitation that led to the situation of this Ming army in Dalanshan. It was not until now that he discovered that this person who had always been underestimated by him actually took the remedial measures without everyone's knowledge, and even played them in their palms.

In fact, the model of Shen Guomao sent news to Chen Diaolun. When Wang Jiang began to flee the next day, he secretly sent a horse who was originally a cavalry in the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, and asked him to rush to Jinhua overnight to report to Chen Wen. Because he knew very well that what these guys did during this period made the rebel army, which was already at a serious disadvantage in terms of numbers, further lost the possibility of using the geographical advantage to defeat the Qing army's encirclement and suppression.

When the Qing army attacked this time, it was just based on its own strength, let alone defending it. Even if it fled, except for Chen Diaolun, Zou Xiaonan and Jiang Han, others would only have bad things. If they survive, the only possibility is that Chen Wen sent troops to rescue him, but Huang Zongxi and others wanted to rebuild the Ming army in Dalan Mountain to drag Chen Wen back. Whether they would come to support was not a certain number.

It is naturally a good thing to be able to come; it doesn't matter to him that he is sitting on the verge of his own or being late - he has no regrets in his life to be able to die in this land he once struggled for. It is precisely because of this that Wang Jiang showed an undeniable attitude towards all the accusations he has made during this period.

Facts have proved that over the years, although he has been betrayed by Cao Conglong and others and cursed by some forces whose interests have been damaged, Chen Wen still maintains his innocent heart and is still the benevolent and righteous warrior who fought with his life to protect the people's security and with his flesh and blood to face the Tartar artillery fire!

"Wanxun, supporting Fu Ren's training on this Dalan Mountain back then was probably the most correct thing you and I have ever done in my life."

The scene of working hard to drive the Qing army out of Zhejiang echoed in my heart with Wang Yi and those patriots with the same dreams. However, as reason regained control of the brain, Wang Jiang suddenly realized a loophole in this.

"Brother Lou, if I guess correctly, the person I sent to deliver the message, you should be ready to go to war."

"Before the three armies move, food and grass will come first, this is natural."

Hearing this, Wang Jiang's face suddenly changed in front of the unknown crowd, and almost all his blood color faded away.
