The people in Hangzhou from Yuele were planning and preparing in full swing. Although they were separated by the city wall, the general situation inside was in the eyes of Xu Xin and Xu Lei’s uncle and nephew.??? Want to read? Bookswswswsws1.

"Since the Highness raised his army, people in the world said that Governor Xiao is an incompetent mediocre person. Now it seems that it is not that simple."

Xu Xin's feelings immediately received a response from Xu Lei. Their current status is very embarrassing. On the one hand, they are defeated by the Tibiao Camp and Fubiao Camp, and on the other hand, they are the Green Camp generals who had to rely on by the Qing Dynasty. In such a situation, they are naturally very careful. Some things that they cannot see on weekdays begin to see in their eyes, and only then they realize that they have always lived so miserable.

"He is a guru, and he is to live and die with Zhejiang. Neither Cai Shiying nor Yi Yonggui ran away, so he naturally couldn't run away. He would be lifeless when he ran back. He had to fight for the last time."

Whether Hangzhou is defending or abandoning, it is already destined, but this makes them even more embarrassed.

"Uncle Second, there is no chance to defend the city. What Your Highness is most afraid of now is to attack the city. However, field battles, the number of cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners is not large, but field battles are enough. We should not be allowed to participate in the war again."

"It shouldn't be true. Didn't Dasu just throw the blame on Tian Shuai and the others in the battle? If the Green Camp soldiers had collapsed in a short while, they would have definitely defeated the Ming army led by His Highness. It was purely fart, and that Your Highness was easy to mess with? There were no casualties in four or five thousand people who beat you, and there was no casualties in the 6,000 Banners, and they still had the face to blame us for the blame. If others didn't mention it, if Tian Shuai hadn't brought us with us, King Lu would have been lost in Hangzhou long ago, so how could they be today?"

"Uncle Second, whisper, be careful that there are ears in the walls."

"It's okay, your aunt is watching outside."

Having said that, Xu Xin's volume dropped a few degrees.

"Dasu, the bastard who is facing forward when he is using people and facing back when he is not using people, this time he sees whether Oboi will protect him. But Prince An probably won't let us go together, for fear that we will drag their Eight Banners Army back."

Dasu got on the prison car, which Xu Xin saw with his own eyes. In fact, when Jin Li and Liu Zhiyuan were imprisoned and killed by the Qing Dynasty one after another, some people thought that the position of General Pingnan was unlucky. Naturally, no one dared to accept such a hot potato. Only Dasu didn't believe in this evil. Now it seems that this matter is really true.

As soon as this statement was made, Xu Xin's sneer immediately spread to Xu Lei. The uncle and nephew laughed, but there was nothing he could do. In the battle last year, Tibiao and Fubiao were completely broken. Since most of the officers below Tian Xiong were killed by the Ming army, the remaining defeated generals fled back and supplemented the local forced Ding Zhuang, which was also called Tibiao and Fubiao, but the combat power was probably not even comparable to the city guards, it was just that there were more people.

This time, the Eight Banners Army must have acted alone. Even if they want to make contributions, they will have no chance. Besides, what can they do if they make contributions? It is really hard to see who belongs in the world clearly, as if everything has returned to the starting point.

"The situation in Jiangnan is now achieved by the His Highness, but the pirates came to pick peaches. There must be something dirty between the two. Reading a book. A few days ago, it was said that Fan Jingluo moved to the northern part of Huguang. Now the southern part of Huguang is in the hands of the Western thief. The His Highness and the Western thief are said to have not been peeing in a pot. It seems that the Ming army counterattacks, but when they fight themselves, they may have to let Prince Jian pick up the cheaper."

"Who knows, now we have to look at what we are in front of us first. If Hangzhou is gone, our uncle and nephew will not have the chance to watch others jokes."

……………………

The next day, the entire Eight Banners Army led by Yue Le was dispatched, totaling 4,000 Eight Banners of Manchus, 7,000 Eight Banners of Mongolia and 2,000 Eight Banners of Han. All reinforcements went south and all dispatched, and also spared 1,000 Mongolian soldiers stationed in the Eight Banners in Hangzhou, totaling 1,300 troops.

Of course, this is just a warrior, and the auxiliary soldiers are still provided by Hangzhou. Anyway, this city was also a huge city with a population of one million in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the most people were the ones. The defense of the city was handed over to the Green Camp and the Eight Banners soldiers who were less than 1,000 left behind. Most of them were incomplete in their organization. The Qing court had no spare time to supplement it, and they could only serve as the supervisor of the Green Camp.

After leaving the city, the army headed eastward and headed straight to the direction of the Jinhua Division landing as the Exploser pointed out. The Ming army divided into two groups. Since they chose to use the inside battle to annihilate the whole route before the Ming army siege, the decisive battle with the Ming army on the eastern front became the only answer. Because there are bastions and defense lines in Xincheng and Fuyang, it can always be delayed for a few days, and the Qing army here has no danger to defend, and only by winning the field battle can there be a chance.

Yue Le and the others thought clearly that if they defeated the Jinhua Division, the next step is to move forward or stick to it, leaving them with more time and space for choice and operation, so they must fight the Ming army as soon as possible.

Yue Le and Chen Wen are not far away, and Yue Le is also very clear about what kind of opponent he is facing. He is rampant in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for four or five years, and countless famous ministers and generals died at his hands. Starting from a guerrilla general who led 500 troops or guerrillas, he became the prince of Kuaiji who was the remnant Ming, with no less than 100,000 armors under his command. He felt very pressured for such a difficult character, so the speed of the army was deliberately slowed down, for fear of being ambushed by Chen Wen and ending up with a crushing defeat.

It was exactly the same as Yue Le's prudence, and Chen Wen's traveling speed was not fast. However, he was not afraid of Yue Le's reputation, but there was no need to approach Li Ruixin, Hangzhou's army was still on the road, and even if he arrived early, he could not surround the city.

Both sides were determined to get closer together, but the distance was too close. On that day, the two sides discovered the opponent's position and returned to the front of the army.

"The Tartars still have the courage to fight."

The Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang fought against the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Although the places like Siming Lake were defeated in a crushing defeat, the Eight Banners who fled back blamed the disadvantage of the terrain in order to escape the crime. If they were completely frightened by just one fight, it would be impossible. Moreover, no matter how great the new generation generals like Dasu were, they would be, but not as good as the clan king.

"We are not the ones who are in a hurry to camp now, but the group of Tartars under Yue Le. In this hot day, it is natural that they have to run more roads."

The Ming army now has the overall strength and does not show any disadvantages in the local area. The more we drag it down, the more unfavorable it will be to the Qing army. This is true whether it is the overall environment south of the Yangtze River or the small environment in Hangzhou Prefecture. Chen Wen naturally does not need to worry about them. The only thing is that there is no mountain and terrain between the two armies to rely on. Although the large-scale maneuver of the cavalry is still impossible, the maneuver power on the battlefield is no longer as restricted as Siming Lake, and it must be prepared more properly.

When Yue Le found that the Ming army was camping on the spot, he had to continue to march for a few hours before stopping to set up camp. This distance was enough to launch an attack tomorrow. While sighing at the shamelessness of the Ming army, he had to immediately convene a final military discussion to prepare for tomorrow's battle, because they really couldn't afford to delay.

"According to the horse exploration report, it has now been determined that the level of the Zhejiang bandit's division is composed of three main barracks and one cavalry battalion. The generals in charge of command also have a personal army of mixed troops. This division, called Jinhua, led the troops by Yin Yue, the Dongyang Hou, who had successively defended the front line of Anhua Town in the past few years, Jinhua Fucheng and Ningshao. He was the best general among Zhejiang bandits."

The generals who are good at defending immediately made the generals relieved. In this era, the generals who are good at defending are not as good as the offensive, and most of the generals who are good at attacking also have the same disadvantage in defense. The opponent is a general who is good at defending. Although it may lead to prolonged relocation for them, it will not be more dangerous than a general who is good at field battles.

Once this kind of thinking is formed, it is often deeply rooted, but the following reports immediately surprised them.

"However, the commander this time was not the bandit named Yin, but the Zhejiang bandit leader Chen Wen, the fake Kuaiji County Prince!"

Everyone exclaimed sincerely. Although most of Chen Wen's generals were famous, they always grew up under his wings. Fighting with a general and fighting with Chen Wen himself was completely different. What's more, the commander of the Qing army was also a prince, and the duel between the two kings was a great battle that never happened again after six years!

It was only that time that the Qing army lost the lives of two princes in a row, but it made Li Dingguo famous both the two famous kings.

"Slay Chen Wen, please take us to wash away the shame that the Han dogs imposed on our Eight Banners Army."

Nikan's death hit the morale of the Eight Banners Army a great blow. Even Shunzhi said, "Our dynasty has never been lost." Now, today is the devastating attack of the four left-wing banners in Jiangnan and Jiangning. As the largest Eight Banners group south of the Yangtze River, they have the obligation to reverse this decline.

The morale of the Qing army generals was greatly boosted, and the soldiers below were also clamored. On the next day, the Eight Banners Army made meals at the third anniversary, and the camp was launched at the fifth anniversary. The army rolled eastward, and soon encountered an enemy he had to face in Qiaosi Town.

Qiaosi Town was called Tangcun Town in the Ming Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, the Salt Course was established here, and the name of the Salt Course was changed to Qiaosi Town. This place was also where the Ming army camped on the spot yesterday.

"According to the original plan, wear armor and arrange an array."

After seeing the battle formation of the Ming army, Yue Le immediately issued an order. The Eight Banners Army, the Mongolian Eight Banners are the real main force, and the number of Manchu and Han troops combined is slightly inferior, so the best way is to try to give full play to the advantages of the Mongolian Eight Banners in cavalry and shooting, and shoot the Ming army's battle formation in pieces. Infantry or cavalry breaks the opponent's battle formation, which also establishes the victory.

However, the water nets are crisscrossing and ravines on the ground of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the mountains and hills are densely packed, which is really not suitable for cavalry to perform their maneuvers. Fortunately, although there are still some problems here, the plain is better than a decisive battle with the Ming army in the mountains. There is no danger around it and it is not conducive to delaying time in the Qing army. However, it also makes the Ming army no longer have a support for the terrain during the field battle and can only fight with the Qing army in a decisive battle.

Because of this, they formulated the commander Yue Le to take charge of the central army and personally commanded the Eight Banners of Manchuria; Liu Liangzuo was responsible for the Eight Banners of the Han army, as long as the bird guns and artillery teams were used as the help of the Eight Banners of Manchuria; while the Eight Banners of the Mongolian, the six thousand troops from reinforcements were led by Ibai, and they were given the advantage of cavalry and shooting, while the remaining one thousand people were led by Gushan Ezhen, the Mongolian Gushan, who was stationed in Hangzhou to take them as the reserve team for the entire army.

In this way, the advantages of Manchuria, Mongolia and Han army's Eight Banners were all exerted. Yue Le was in charge of the central army and avoided the risk of taking the lead in charge like Nikan and being killed in ambush.

The Qing army began to line up the array, but the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had already completed the array. Chen Wen's flag was erected in the Yankeshi Courtyard in Qiaosi Town, the guards of Jinhua Division and the Shentang Battalion were arranged in the south of the town, and the Dongyang and the Qianba were arranged in the southeast to cover the sides and backs of the two battalions. However, the two battalions in the south of the town had one infantry bureau missing, which looked a bit strange.

Chen Wen put on a defensive stance because he was not in a hurry. Now he was worried about Yue Le, and the more anxious he was, the more likely he was to make mistakes.

"Class a hollow square array based on bureaus."

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. The Qing army only started to wear armor when they arrived in front of the formation, but they were still sweating. The warm and humid climate of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was really uncomfortable for them, and they didn't want to stay for too long even if they were a day. However, the current situation was not something that could stop the troops without fighting just by saying that it was hot, so they had to endure it and just hoped to end the battle as soon as possible so that they could take off their armor and pass the wind. Even if it was still some hot wind, it would be more comfortable than a muffled can.

The Eight Banners Army was drawn from Beijing, and they were all kinds of elite soldiers and were quickly completed in armor. Seeing that the Ming army still showed no sign of attack, Yue Le secretly cursed shamelessly, so he had to whip out flags to Yibai.

Six thousand iron cavalry flew out from the wings of the Qing army and divided into six teams. Each team of thousands of cavalry spread out like a pack of wolves driving away sheep, and ran at an extremely fast speed. It seemed that they were planning to completely encircle the Ming army. At the same time, the Eight Banners of Manchu and the Eight Banners of Han Army, which had already dismounted, began to spread toward the two wings and slowly advance.

The speed of the infantry was much lower than that of the cavalry. Ibai led the elite Mongolian Eight Banners to get closer and closer to the Ming army's battle formation, and the Ming army's defense soon came to his eyes.

The Ming army arranged hollow square arrays in the two battalions in Zhennan in the two battalions, but were not parallel arrays, but arranged in a triangle in the front two bureaus, one in the back, and between the two bureaus behind is the south gate of the town, where Yin Yue's general flag and the division's direct troops were erected.

In fact, they were the only ones who were close to the town. The other troops had an equal distance from the town that seemed to have been calculated in advance, and even the distances of dozens of steps in front of the formation were inserted into the ground, as if to interfere with the advance of the Qing army.
