Chapter 183

Shengzhou County in Ningbo Prefecture is located between Kuaiji Mountain and Siming Mountain. The terrain belongs to the hilly area in eastern Zhejiang. There are only small pieces of plains between the mountains and alluvial plains along the river. It is said that "seven mountains, one water, two fields are divided into fields."

At this time, there were not many crops suitable for southern hills to grow, so large hills were not developed and covered with forests. Only small plains were reclaimed and villages were distributed.

On the official road about 80 miles away from Shengzhou County, at the junction of Jinhua Prefecture and Ningbo Prefecture, a large army was walking in a mighty manner.

The cavalry first took the green flags in all directions, and the cavalry behind them were triceratops and dressed in various armors. The Qing army came from Jinhua.

On a hill in front of the official road, several Ming army scouts were staring at the Qing army at the foot of the mountain in the woods. The team could not see the end at a glance. It was estimated that there were at least 30,000 to 40,000 people. Their swords and spears were sharp, their armor was bright, and they were full of murderous aura. Half of them were Eight Banners soldiers.

The scout used a thousand-mile mirror to observe for a moment. When he saw the Qing army vanguard approaching, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran down the hill, and then took another shortcut to Wang Dong.

On the official road east of Shengzhou County, countless Ming soldiers marched all over the mountains. Zhao Ming led 20,000 subordinates, 20,000 rebels, a total of 40,000, advancing towards Jinhua.

At this time, the scout came against the crowd, galloped to Zhao Ming, flew off the horse, and folded one knee, "Report to the Grand Marshal, ninety miles west of Shengzhou, I found a large number of Qing troops coming!"

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, pulled the war horse to the side of the road, and said in a deep voice, "I have not left Ningbo Prefecture, the Qing army has arrived. They are coming so fast! Can you find out how many people are there, how well are there, and are there any Eight Banners soldiers?"

The scout saluted and said, "Reporting to the commander, the enemy's army is too long and difficult to count. I have roughly counted the flags, and it is estimated that there are about 40,000 people, half of which are Eight Banners soldiers! They are well-equipped, and everyone rides horses, and most of them are armored!"

Zhao Ming frowned and said to the left and right: "It seems that Boluo is here!"

After saying that, Zhao Ming and the generals turned over and dismounted, and Ma Shiao immediately took the map and opened it, asking the scouts to indicate the location of the Qing army.

Zhao Ming looked at it and asked, "When I discovered the Qing army, the Qing army was ninety miles away from Shengzhou. Calculate the time, where should they be now?"

Wang Yi was familiar with the terrain. He looked at it and pointed to the map and said, "This official road is not easy to walk on. The Qing army should be here, about thirty miles away from Shengzhou!"

Zhao Ming asked: "Where are us?"

Wang Yi pointed at a place, "We are here, about twenty miles away from Shengzhou!"

Everyone looked at the map and Ruan Mei said, "Master, Bei Zhi is willing to lead the pioneer, make a quick move, and seize Shengzhou."

Zhao Ming pondered for a while, but shook his head, "You can't escape the Qing cavalry! You can't send an order to retreat to Siming Mountain!"

Wang Chaoxian said: "Where is the general who won't save Jinhua?"

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "Of course I need to save it, but there must be a way!"

After saying that, Zhao Ming pulled out his horse's reins and shouted: "Retreat!"

Although the Ming army had more than 40,000 people, the composition was complicated. Not to mention that the rebel army responded to Zhao Ming's response to it, even Zhao Ming's 20,000 people were just annexed Huang Binqing's troops.

Such more than 40,000 people fought head-on with the Qing army that had been through more than 40,000 battles for a long time, and obviously had no chance of winning.

Seeing this, everyone could only pull out their horses, and the advancement of infantry began to change direction amid the military orders.

Wang Yi came to Zhao Ming by horse and clasped his fists and said, "Master General, the mountain village of humble officials is not far away, you can be away from the enemy!"

Zhao Ming was happy when he heard the words, "Then General Wang will lead the way!"

When the 40,000 troops retreated to Siming Mountain in a chaotic state, several Qing army scouts in the distance stared at the Ming soldiers all over the mountains, muttered a few Manchu words, and left a few people to monitor, while the rest drove away.

Boluo has experienced a long battle formation and the Eight Banners soldiers have extremely rich combat experience. Every time they fight, the scouts will release dozens of miles, hundreds of miles, and may even stay in Mingdi for one or two months.

Zhao Ming gave an order, more than 40,000 troops headed towards Wang Yi's village on Siming Mountain.

The army ran wildly, and after more than an hour, they came to the bottom of the mountain village.

The mountain village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is only a steep mountain road, but it cannot let go of the 40,000 army. Zhao Ming ordered the army to camp at the foot of the mountain and climb the mountain village with Wang Yi.

After entering the mountain gate, a large flag was hung on the towering flagpole in the middle of the village, with four words embroidered on it: "Anti-Qing and saving the country."

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "During the Song Dynasty, the Jin people invaded the south. Wang Yan, a Song Dynasty man, established a village in the middle of Taihang Mountain and was called the Eight-Character Army, which made the Jin people frightened. It was a coincidence that Dingxun, your surname is Wang, and this Siming Mountain is also a place for martial arts. I am going to set up a guard in Siming Mountain and recommend you as the commander, you are willing!"

Zhao Ming entered Nanjing to worship Xiaoling Mausoleum and became famous. As the leader of the East China Sea anti-Qing, Wang Yi immediately clasped his fists, "I am willing to obey the command of the general!"

Zhao Ming was overjoyed when he heard the words and hurriedly held his hand and said, "Okay, you should work together with me to fight against the Qing Dynasty!"

During the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty's generals were consumed too quickly. By the time of the Southern Ming Dynasty, there were no generals worth mentioning in the Ming army.

Zhao Ming now commands 20,000 troops, but his subordinates do not have many military commanders.

Now his subordinates have only been famous in history, including Ruan Mei, and Wang Chaoxian. At this time, there is another Wang Yi, which makes Zhao Ming very happy.

At this time, Zhao Ming was about to take Wang Yi to take him to the mountain village, but Li Zhongming hurriedly ran up and said anxiously: "Master General, the Qing army vanguard is chasing him!"

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "This time the three armies rescued Jinhua, Boluo hurriedly came, and he must have wanted to find his general to fight to the decisive battle, then turn around and fight the Emperor and finally fight the surname Zheng. He is a student of the old slave. No matter how many times we go, he only goes all the way and wants to reappear Sarhu!"

When Li Zhongming heard Sarhu, his heart trembled. The power of the battle was still there. He said a little panickedly: "During Sarhu, several troops from the Ming Dynasty combined to strengthen the country and build a slave. Now we have three groups of troops and together. I wonder if we can tie Boluo. If he really holds this plan and defeat them one by one, what should we do?"

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "If you use one move, continue to use it, it won't work! The army will be ordered to build fortifications based on the mountains and ignore Boluo!" After saying that, Zhao Ming said to Wang Yi: "Dingxun, take me to the village to visit!"

At the foot of the mountain, the Qing army camp was plated. When it was dark, Boluo led the army to meet with the vanguard.

At this time, Boro turned over and dismounted, entered the temporary military tent, sat down and asked, "What's the situation?"

Junta said: "Yes, the bandits set up formations along the mountains and set off defense. There was also a battle-free sign in front of the camp!"

Boluo frowned slightly when he heard this, "Zhao Tiebang wants to rescue Jinhua. What does it mean when he poses a defensive posture?"

Boluo pondered for a while, then sneered again: "Hmph, Benbeile wants to see how you can save Jinhua if you don't go to the battle!"
