According to the distance, it was only about ten miles between Simingshan Town and Dalan Mountain. When Zhang Jie encountered this Yingtou, a group named Huangyan, he immediately sent a messenger to report to Dasu Hotanxiong, who continued to besiege Dalan Mountain to the north.

Huangyan Camp is one of the four new camps built by Chen Wen after receiving the Zheng family's maritime trade payment. The main soldiers of these four battalions came from the Taizhou Green Camp, Wenzhou Green Camp and Qingtian City Camp, as well as the garrison camps that belonged to the separate roads. In addition, some new recruits were recruited to supplement.

However, due to the excessive number of former green camp soldiers, which was not conducive to the implementation of the system, Chen Wen broke up the other four battalions while completing basic training and conducted switching services. In this way, less than half of the former green camp soldiers of these battalions were left, and there were also soldiers from various troops at the heads of the troops. The original structure was broken up, and the soldiers were reorganized into the new battalion as members, which also ensured that the former green camp officers could not threaten the status and rights of the Zhejiang Ming army system such as the supervisors and military judges.

The battalion officer of Huangyan Camp was Hu Laijin, the former deputy general of the Wenzhou Green Camp. Before he was promoted to Wenzhou, he was just a guerrilla in the central army of the Shaanxi Governor Biao Battalion. At this moment, Zhang Jie, the general of Dinghai who stood in front of him, was a native of Liaodong. Before surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he was one of the eight generals under the command of Huang Degong, the most powerful Duke of Jingguo, among the four towns in Jiangbei. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he guarded Dinghai to control the Ming army in Zhoushan. He was one of the top generals in the Zhejiang Green Camp. At that time, he did not even have the qualification to face it directly.

However, by now, Hu Laijin has become a general of the Ming army in Zhejiang, while Zhang Jie is still the general of Dinghai. Here, even though the troops are only two-thirds of Zhang Jie's strength, Hu Laijin is full of courage. Once he encounters it, he immediately ordered the whole team to set up an offensive formation and attack Zhang Jie's original formation.

Simingshan Town is located in the southern center of Simingshan District. Its surrounding area is densely covered with trees, with uneven terrain, and there are many hills and streams, which are not suitable for fighting in formation. Zhang Jie arrived early and occupied a relatively favorable terrain. However, even so, Hu Laijin simply used an infantry bureau of a long spear formation as the backbone, and the infantry bureau of the two Yuanyang formations directly broke into the mountains and forests on both sides, so as to launch an attack on the calibration without hiding his intention.

The long spear formation is suitable for formation battles, which Hu Laijin learned in the martial arts lecture hall, while the mandarin duck formation is more suitable for combat in narrow terrain and complex environments. Among them, mountainous areas in eastern Zhejiang are most suitable for their combat effectiveness.

The spear formation in the middle road slowly moved forward and rushed straight to Simingshan Town where Zhang Jie was located. The central camp of the qualifying system in the front town was not outdone. It used artillery to set up long ago to bombard the Ming army. However, although it was the new camp, the proportion of veterans was not too low, whether it was the front green camp or the other camps. After entering the range of the Qing army's artillery, Hu Laijin, who was reminded by the staff team, immediately ordered an assault. Seeing the flag leaning forward, the Ming army of the brigade suddenly accelerated and quickly rushed to the central camp in front of Simingshan Town.

At the same time, after breaking into the mountains and forests, the left and right wings quickly surrounded Simingshan Town.

After several years of dealing, although he had never had a head-on confrontation in the true sense, he had never eaten pork, and had always seen pigs leave. He had repeatedly defeated him. Especially Wang Sheng had also had an experience of organizing the Mandarin Duck Formation in the Green Camp in Ningbo, which made him have a great resistance to going deep into the mountains and forests to confront the Ming army. Therefore, when the two wings of Huangyan Camp entered the mountains and forests, Zhang Jie's left and right battalions lined up on the flat ground outside the forest to wait for the Ming army.

However, such a terrain was originally the home court of the Mandarin Duck Formation. Qi Jiguang beat the Japanese pirates who also relied on their own bravery in this terrain.

The confidence developed by the Zhejiang Ming Army over the years in the almost crushing victory of the Green Camp soldiers and the desire for military merits, when the mandarin duck formation on both wings of the Ming army rushed out of the mountains and forests, the new camp head quickly and violently separated the three battalions arranged around the town like a red-hot steel knife slashed through solidified butter.

As soon as he started the battle, he was completely suppressed by mediocre generals who were too lazy to even talk, with only two-thirds of his own troops. Zhang Jie, who was observing the situation on the battlefield at a commanding height in the town, almost spit out an old blood.

It was like this at the beginning of the war. If the Ming army broke into the town from any direction, the result would be completely self-evident. However, with such a terrain, it would be difficult to exert its military strength, and the only cavalry with advantage in his hand did not even have a path to raid. Even if there was, Hu Laijin had a complete game, all of which were 15 feet long spears, and even if they were blinded by the urethrall, they could not kick them.

Once suppression is formed, either try to break the deadlock, or persist until the opponent's attack ability is exhausted, or hold on until reinforcements arrive to complete the encirclement, there is no other way. But his task is to intercept the reinforcements of the Ming army. Dasu and Tianxiong used all their strength to encircle and annihilate the great achievements of entering the Ming army, and it was impossible to provide a helping hand to him before the end.

In this way, breaking the deadlock by himself was a delusion. He persisted until the Ming army could not continue to attack. He probably wouldn't see that day. Until this moment, Zhang Jie suddenly realized that it seemed that Chen Wen was not Chen Wen who fell into this trap. It could even be said that the army rescued Dalanshan was a trick, and Chen Wen's camp to rescue Dalanshan was actually the bait used to catch the main force of the Qing army in Zhejiang!

Once he figured out this, Zhang Jie immediately sent his personal soldiers to Dalan Mountain with a message to explain the situation to Dasu and Tianxiong, and asked them to make a decision as soon as possible. And he, a rebel general who had betrayed Emperor Hongguang, no longer dared to hope that the Ming army could accept his surrender, and now he could only use his life to support him.

Compared with Zhang Jie, Hu Laijin's use of troops is considered to be a perfect match. Even Chen Wen did not plan to quickly produce a group of famous generals with wild thinking when he first set up a martial arts school. As long as he could do what he should do, it would be enough. The rest can be completely relied on a more mature military system to crush the feudal army.

In terms of military use, Hu Laijin was not even worthy of carrying shoes to Zhang Jie, but the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Zhejiang was no longer comparable to that of such feudal army, and the change ideas were pinned by the Qing Dynasty. [】The result of the battle can naturally be imagined.

After a while, Zhang Jie, who had lowered the commanding heights, and his flags approached the back of the central camp, boosting morale for the camp, which was the backbone, and maintaining the possibility of continuing to stick to it. However, as the two wings were penetrated by the mandarin duck formation and collapsed, the Ming army of the brigade rushed into the town and quickly completed the encirclement of Zhang Jie's troops.

"Those who surrender are exempt from death!"

In the eyes of military strategists, this sentence is often just a deceptive nonsense, but it keeps the pulse of everyone's thoughts of survival, so that they can kill and surrender again and again.

The Ming army in Zhejiang is still slightly better in this regard, but more than two years ago, all the surrendered soldiers of Fubiao Camp were executed. Last year, the Eight Banners surrendered troops stationed in Hangzhou were not forgiven by the evil human trafficker Chen Wen. They went to Fujian like the newly transferred Han Eight Banners surrendered soldiers from the north to start their new life.

Once the encirclement was completed, the Ming army stopped the attack rhythm to prevent the Qing army from jumping over the wall and causing greater casualties. The Qing army itself was not an opponent of the Ming army, so naturally it was impossible for the Ming army to rush out and commit suicide without the Ming army suspending its offensive.

In this way, the Ming army began to occupy all favorable terrain to monitor the movements of the Qing army, and kept calling for surrender. Later, even Hu Laijin himself picked up the iron trumpet and shouted at Zhang Jie's direction of the flag.

"General Zhang, I am Hu Laijin. I don't say secret words. You should know your own affairs. Do you plan to bring these thousands of brothers to you and bury them with you?"

Although he knew that Hu Laijin was eager to complete the annihilation of his Qing army, the things he was referring to were indisputable. Even many officers and soldiers couldn't help but change their colors after hearing this. However, once he thought of the general who he didn't even bother to look at the eye a year ago, he easily defeated him after changing the door and hugging Chen Wen's thigh. He was angry as if he was about to burst his chest.

However, the situation was stronger than the people, and the Ming army had already won. The Dingfa general who could escape was only the more than a thousand people who were not surrounded by the left and right wings. The rest was just that his head was still there was a little difference between his neck, so that even Zhang Jie could not say even the saying "The Losing Man" was successful.

"You guys, I, Zhang Jie, were a traitor who tied the Ming Emperor to the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. There was only one way to die, but you all still have a small family, so don't resist unnecessary resistance. After I die, you surrender."

"Master!"

"Master, let's fight with them. If we fight to the death, we can always protect the Master and rush out."

“…”

Zhang Jie's last words immediately aroused the fierce reactions of the officers and personal soldiers around him, but Zhang Jie had made up his mind to die, leaving only one sentence that was the last order. Then he explained to Hu Laijin loudly and then wiped his neck and fell under the flag.

After a while, more than a thousand people surrounded by Simingshan Town abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Hu Laijin came to Zhang Jie's general's general and saw Zhang Jie and several trusted officers. The soldiers had committed suicide one after another, and the remaining officers also knelt on the ground and shivered.

"In addition to Zhang Jie, these heroes were buried with great burials and left them with a complete body."

Loyalty is worthy of appreciation, even if it is just to show kindness after his death. However, when the officers who died for the commander and their personal soldiers were treated with the whole body, most of the other surrendered soldiers also let go of their worries.

The surrendered soldiers who were Dingbei had been tied up with ropes, and the defeated soldiers fleeing to Fenghua were not interested in chasing them for the time being. At this moment, most of the Bian Battalion of Dinghai General Bian Battalion were annihilated in one battle, and Hu Laijinzhi, the Huangyan Battalion officer who killed Zhang Jie in the formation, said to the commander with satisfaction:

"Reported to the commander, at three o'clock in the 19th hour, the ranks of Dinghai General Bian Battalion in Simingshan Town, killed 594 levels from the captive commander Zhang Jie, captured 1,361 people, and seized them. After the subsequent troops arrived, the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks of the rank

……………………

The distance of ten miles is not even half an hour for the cavalry. When Dasu and Tianxiong, who were admiring the Dalan Mountain Fire, received a report from Zhang Jie, the fire had just spread to the hillside. Not to mention that the trees burned out and extinguished themselves, it would take some time to completely incorporate the entire Dalan Mountain into the sea of ​​fire.

From the Ming army occupied by Zhejiang to Dalan Mountain, the fastest route also needs to enter from Dongyang County through Sheng County and Xinchang, from the southern part of Siming Mountain. The infantry battalion came to the rescue at a fast speed. At that time, because they were originally used for mobile combat, the infantry marched quickly under unknown conditions, especially in this mountainous area. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the follow-up troops of the Ming army to arrive so quickly.

However, just like the emergence of the Feixiong Camp, the facts were beyond their expectations, which made Dasu and Tianxiong begin to wonder if the plan had leaked the news, or if Chen Wen guessed their intention, so he simply used the plan and used the Feixiong Camp as bait, in order to annihilate their only remaining elite troops from the Qing army in Zhejiang in the Siming Mountains.

Once he thought of this, Tian Xiong couldn't help swallowing, but Dasu was a little eager to try it out.

"Master, what should we do, we need to make a decision early."

However, before the decision was made, Zhang Jie's second messenger followed and reported the decision to Dasu to the bidding decision to do his best to stop the Ming army.

At such a long distance, generals who are responsible for commanding in strategy often have greater decision-making power. After hearing the messenger's report, they were angry that the banner of the chief general raised by the Huangyan Camp of the Ming army was Hu Laijin, a rebel general of the Qing army, but Tian Xiong was also shocked by the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

"Master General Zhang may not last long. The terrain here is really not conducive to the official army, so it is better to retreat and wait for the rebel Chen Wen."

Zhang Jie decided to defend the enemy, leaving only three choices for Dasu and Tianxiong: First, dispatch a large number of cavalry to go south to determine reinforcements; second, organize the defense line, try to eat the Feixiong Camp first, and then fight the Ming army after the battle; third, lift the siege and withdraw from this area that was extremely unfavorable to the operation of the Qing army's superior troops.

These three options are theoretically possible, but not in practice.

Siming Mountain Area, especially where Huangyan Camp fought against Dingqi, was densely covered with mountains and forests, even within the scope of the Siming Mountain Nature Reserve in later generations and even the Siming Mountain Nature Reserve. In this natural home field of the Ming army in Zhejiang, the cavalry rashly moved south and could easily be ambushed by the Ming army. Even if they could reach Siming Mountain Town, that area would be extremely unfavorable to the cavalry's effectiveness, and they would be half the result with twice the effort. If the Ming army followed up not only one Huangyan Camp, but the main force of the Ming army, then the result could be imagined.

Although Dasu was not smart and had extraordinary military tactics in the Eight Banners Army, he was still a general who was famous for his bravery like Oboi. However, after many years of being in the army, he still understood the truth. Moreover, before sending troops, Hong Chengchou's order had been strictly prohibited from fighting the main force of the Ming army in the hinterland of Siming Mountain. Even if he could not understand the truth, he could understand the order.

However, it is not so easy to let go of the merits of annihilated a war barracks of the Ming army in Zhejiang and killing its first-level general.

Fortunately, compared with Dasu, a straight-line general, Tian Xiong's mind was far better than that, and he could see clearly what he thought.

"The disaster of the three armies arose due to suspicion. Since Chen Wen, the rebel, dared to send Hu Lai Jin to attack General Zhang alone, his army must be behind. The Eight Banners Army is invincible and naturally does not fear the bandits, but this area is really not conducive to the cavalry operation, and the casualties are too great, I am afraid that the emperor will be unhappy."

The punishment result for the battle at the forks has been issued. Although it is the case that Hengyang lost Nikan on the surface, if it were not for the Eight Banners Army's losses at the forks, it would never have been so severe. Dasu was not without a backer in the court. His experience of standing guard for Huang Taiji and even fighting side by side made him and Oboi already have close friends. Naturally, he knew that if the Eight Banners Army had suffered too much casualties, he might not have ended up winning by then.

"But……"

The fat meat that reaches the mouth is about to fly away, and no one will be willing to let go. Tian Xiong has no such thoughts.

"I will know a place. As long as we finish the war, Chen Wen will definitely come. There is his burial place!"

……………………

In the afternoon, Chen Wen, who had personally raised the army, finally arrived at the foot of Dalan Mountain. The fire on the mountain had already spread to the whole mountain, and it was still unknown whether the Feixiong Camp and the rebels in the old camp were safe. However, after seeing the war letter left by Tian Xiong, Chen Wen couldn't help but skim a trace of cruelty that rarely appeared, and then he picked an officer from the prisoners offered by Hu Lai Jin.
Chapter completed!
