Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 86 Arriving in Hangzhou, the northern captives occupy and retreat
Wang Yan led the army to the south and walked for nine days. When he met Fang Guoan's support army, he calmed down a bit, but he just looked behind him, but he didn't see Li Taizhen's troops chasing him, and he felt a little uneasy.

The army and civilians traveled all the way, and when they arrived outside Hangzhou, some defeated soldiers finally fled to Hangzhou. Wang Yan saw that there were only seven or eight of the five thousand children, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

The defeated soldiers cried and said: "General Li died, Hu Weizong disappeared, and the soldiers of the northern captives have followed."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yanzhi cried out sadly: "Losing Taizhen today is like losing an arm!"

The common people wept silently when they knew that Li Taizhen, who was their queen, died at Wusongkou together with [-] Yangzhou disciples.

In his grief, Wang Yan sent Wang Shixiu, a fellow student, to collect the corpse of Li Taizhen at Wusongkou, but when Wang Shixiu arrived in secret, the Songjiang gentry had spontaneously collected the corpses of thousands of Ming soldiers at Wusongkou, and buried them together in a large tomb. He wrote: "What do you want to destroy the country and destroy the family? There is a master Wang on the banks of the Wusong River. Five thousand righteous men died generously. They will not fail China and not fail the king."

At this time, the sentry cavalry left behind by Wang Yan came to report, saying: "The captive cavalry is only [-] miles away from Hangzhou, and the sentry cavalry has already engaged the enemy cavalry, and the soldiers of the northern captives will arrive soon."

Li Taizhen blocked the captives at Wusongkou for seven days, and eventually the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou rushed to the city of Hangzhou safely. If he was defeated one day earlier, the northern captives could catch up with the soldiers and civilians on their way south, and the consequences would be disastrous.

At this time, Wang Yan had no choice but to calm down, and first ordered He Gang, Qu Congzhi, Wang Zuanjue and others to embrace the people and enter the city, and then personally led the army to stay behind to prevent the northern cavalry from killing them.

On the city wall, Lu Fan, together with Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and other ministers and officials, looked at the soldiers and civilians outside the city waving the flag of Wang Yanling, and the drums were beating. The knife, with a cold light, gathered towards the battalion flag behind Wang Yan.

The [-] army, with the beat of the drums, quickly formed a formation outside the city under the command of many military academies. At the front were [-] carts, loaded with two Francois machines, with spearmen at the back, palladium hands at the back, and birds at the back. The hands are in the front, the three eyes are in the back, the rocket is in the back, and finally there are a large number of infantry troops ready to fight.

Outside the city of Yangzhou, 3 Qing troops fled without helmets and armor. Wang Yan obtained a mountain of supplies, from which he selected the most sophisticated armor, weapons and equipment. , the appearance is better than a few steps.

At this time, Wang Yan personally led the central army, Chen Yujie was in front, Wang Wei was on the left, Wang Zhiduan was on the right, and nearly a thousand cavalry roamed the two wings. , secretly praised in his heart: "It's really a hero!"

More than 20 people, together with more than 1 national security departments, poured into the city, and there was not an hour when they could not pass through the city gate. In order to let the people enter the city safely, Wang Yan and the army waited solemnly, preparing to meet the Qing army that was about to kill.

At noon, dozens of riders came galloping from the sky. They were the sentry riders of the Ming army left by Wang Yan behind the army. They were all wounded, and some of them even had arrows in their backs, running back all the way. Come on.

The Chinese army ordered the flag to wave, and immediately made way for these sentry cavalry, and when they entered the battle, the army immediately closed up again.

Liu Shun ran all the way to Wang Yan's side, got off his horse, and the feathered arrows on his back shook with his movements, "General! There are nearly [-] northern captive cavalry, all of them are real Manchurian and Mongolian soldiers, and they will arrive in a while! "

Hearing this, Wang Yan asked Liu Shun to step back to check his injuries, and then he looked solemn. The army of Yangzhou had always fought on the basis of the city, and had never fought against the northern captive cavalry in the wild.Although he transformed nearly a hundred vehicles into a vehicle camp when he left Yangzhou, he had never experienced actual combat, so he still felt a little worried.

A moment later, the sky was full of dust, and the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help but clenched their weapons tightly.

Slowly one ride, two rides, and finally turned into the northern captive cavalry all over the mountains and plains, coming from a distance, like a moving carpet, and like a flood bursting out of an embankment, the momentum is shocking.

In the formation of the Ming army, the drums were set up, and the horns were repeated again and again. With a strong voice, [-] Ming troops followed the rhythm of the drums and shouted in unison: "Great Ming! Let the blood flow! Fight to the death and never retreat!"

On the battlefield, murderous aura spread overwhelmingly, while the galloping northern captive cavalry stopped [-] steps away from the Ming army formation, looking extremely sturdy.

Tu Lai, the commander of the Qing court guards, hurriedly called Duoduo and said: "My lord, my Qing cavalry is invincible. Why don't you take advantage of the situation to break through the Ming army and rush into Hangzhou City, such a great achievement!"

Duoduo observed the formation of the Ming army outside the city and saw that the formation was well-organized and protected by chariots. He couldn't help frowning, and sighed: "This king is too late! Wang Shiheng is well prepared, and his troops are stronger than mine. Army, I'm afraid we won't be able to break it."

When Duoduo went south, he had already lost nearly ten thousand soldiers of the Eight Banners, which was already a great loss for the Cuoer clan in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He did not dare to consume the troops of the Eight Banners anymore. The courage to fight.

"Ten miles back!" Duoduo waved his hand, then turned his horse's head and said, "Let's set up camp first, and wait for Li Chengdong and other troops to come, making plans!"

Tens of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of galloping horses are far more powerful and oppressive than nearly ten thousand infantry.

Lu Fan and others watching the battle on the city wall had never seen a scene of [-] cavalry galloping on horseback, the sky was covered with dust, and the ground trembled. , and felt worried, doubting whether it could withstand the violent impact of the northern captive cavalry.

Seeing that a big battle was about to start, everyone in the city could not help but be extremely surprised to see that the northern cavalry suddenly changed from the front to the rear, slowly turning around, and gradually retreating from the direction of the Ming army.

"Haha~" Seeing this, Lu Fan couldn't help but wiped away his fear of the Beilu cavalry just now, and said cheerfully: "This Beilu is afraid of the prestige of General Wang, so he dare not fight!"

Ma Shiying at the side heard it, seeing that Lu Fan valued Wang Yan so much, he couldn't help but his face darkened.

The cavalry came and went like the wind, and after a while, they disappeared.

At present, after all the people had entered the city, Wang Yan led his troops into Hangzhou.

From Yangzhou to Hangzhou, he walked for more than ten days, worried all day long that the northern captives would suddenly chase him, and now that he entered Jiancheng, Wang Yan felt at ease.

Not long after entering the city, Wang Yan led many subordinates to the Prince Lu's mansion to meet Jian Guo.

In the hall, when Lu Fan saw him, he was overjoyed immediately, and ordered them to offer tea, and Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng and others were also seated.

"The general came to Hangzhou, and the pillars of the sky will come down from the sky to help the king clean up the rivers and mountains!" Seeing that Wang Yan forced the Duoduo soldiers back with his own eyes, Lu Fan already relied on Wang Yan as his arm, "Now the king wants to protect the ancestral foundation. Where is the king?"

When Wang Yan heard Lu Fan's question, he bowed after thinking about it: "I report to the supervisory country, and I think the most important thing at the moment is to use talented people, win people's hearts, break old tricks, follow the king's way, stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, and don't start party disputes!"

"The general's words are reasonable, and harmony leads to auspiciousness. If the family is not in harmony, nothing will happen." Lu Fan heard it deeply, and then looked at Ma Shiying aside and said: "Today's matter, I have to rely more on the general. For major matters, I entrust the general and Ma Fu to think about them."

Thanks to Tang Doudou 123, in my dream, I donate farther and farther.
