Chapter 188 Boluo's Dilemma

After the scout reported to Siming Mountain, Zhao Ming sent the scout to explore again, and it is necessary to confirm that the Qing army is withdrawn.

By noon, the scouts reported one after another, and the Qing army camp was empty, with no trace of the Qing army within a radius of forty miles. Another Tiandihui came to report in detail, saying that a large number of Qing troops were heading towards Chuzhou in the southwest.

Zhao Ming summarized the news that the Qing army withdrew, which is correct.

This made Zhao Ming secretly admire him. Boluo's decisive behavior must have seen that he could not defeat him, so he immediately changed his target and raided Zhu Yihai.

On Siming Mountain, after hearing that the Qing army had really evacuated, many generals showed excitement on their faces.

Ruan Mei, Li Zhongming, Wang Chaoxian, Wang Yi and other generals also showed surprise smiles, all looked at Zhao Ming and said excitedly: "Master!"

The Qing army withdrew, what should we do next? Everyone was waiting for Zhao Ming's order.

Zhao Ming smiled indifferently and said lightly: "Hmph, Jiannu has only this ability. The elite guy from Boluo came out together, but he couldn't get his coach and was defeated by our Zhejiang Army Lang!"

After saying that, Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "Soldiers, who has repelled Jiannu!"

"Zhejiang Army! Zhejiang Army! Zhejiang Army!"

"Master! Master! Master!"

Everyone then let out a burst of excited shouts, and Zhao Ming then said, "Tell all the soldiers of the army that they have repelled Jiannu and killed the Qing army away!"

For a moment, cheers spread rapidly on the hillside, and tens of thousands of Ming soldiers waved their weapons and made waves of cheers.

Yesterday, the front line was in danger, and many people thought they could not defend themselves, but they didn't expect the Qing army to admit defeat first and retreated directly.

This is equivalent to recognition of Zhao Ming and his men's strength, which restored a little confidence to the Zhejiang soldiers who had never fought with the Eight Banners and were beaten to a great loss by the Eight Banners.

Zhao Ming naturally would not miss such an opportunity. He looked at the soldiers all over the mountains and fields and made a shocking cheer, and was very satisfied.

With a bloody battle yesterday, the soldiers of the Ming army would not be as scared as they were at the beginning when they met the Qing army.

"All generals obey the order!" Zhao Ming and other soldiers cheered for a while, their expressions became serious, and they said loudly to the generals: "Boluo evacuated overnight must be to raid Your Highness. Let's pack up and march towards Jinhua immediately!"

Ma Shiao said: "Master, will there be something wrong with Your Highness?"

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "I know that Boluo is going to siege the city and attack the aid, Your Highness must be vigilant and prepared for it. Besides, the three teams had agreed to Boluo attack all the way, and then rely on the terrain to defend, and the other two routes advanced towards Jinhua! There are many mountains and forests in western Zhejiang, and I guarantee that Boluo will inevitably hit a wall!"

Ruan Mei said: "If Boro cannot defeat His Highness, will he turn around and attack us?"

Zhao Ming nodded, "With this possibility, I will set up a formation to defend again, and change His Highness and Guo surname to advance towards Jinhua."

Wang Chaoxian smiled silly and said, "If I were Boluo, I would have to be angry to death!"

"Haha~" Zhao Ming laughed, "It's light to be angry. If the three armies are allowed to approach Jinhua alternately, they will be able to echo each other, and it is not impossible to defeat Boluo at the city of Jinhua!"

After saying that, Zhao Ming immediately waved his hand, "No matter how late, the whistle cavalry will open their eyes for the army, and the soldiers will immediately set off their camps and advance westward!"

"Here!" The generals clasped their fists and took the order solemnly.

Soon after, more than 35,000 troops were packed up and advanced towards Jinhua in a mighty manner.

~~~~~~~

The Qing army lost more than 3,000 people at the foot of Siming Mountain and failed to defeat Zhao Ming's army. Boluo felt that he could not seize Zhao Ming for a while, but calculated the time. If he continued to fight, he might be afraid that Zhao Ming would not defeat him, but Zhu Yihai had already rushed to Jinhua.

Once Zhu Yihai and the Jinhua defenders cooperated with each other and resolved the Jinhua trap, the three prefectures of Chuzhou, Jinhua and Quzhou in western Zhejiang would be completely recaptured by the Ming army, and eastern Zhejiang would be under the attack of Zhao Tiebone in western Zhejiang and East China Sea.

In this way, Boluo would fall into a passive position. Without the Qing Dynasty sending reinforcements to support him, he would definitely lose eastern Zhejiang.

If so, the result of Duoduo's sweeping across eastern Zhejiang would be thrown away by Boro, which Boro could not bear.

In view of this, Boluo decided to give up on continuing to attack Zhao Tiebang, who was defending the mountain, and was ready to defeat Zhu Yihai, who was advancing north first.

More than 30,000 Qing troops evacuated Siming Mountain overnight, traveling day and night, running towards Chuzhou, preparing to intercept Zhu Yihai, but when they arrived, Zhu Yihai was like Zhao Tiebang and used the mountain to build a camp.

Seeing the Ming soldiers camping along the mountain, Boluo did not recover in one breath. He was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse and fainted.

Seeing this, many Qing generals were so shocked that their expressions changed drastically. They quickly turned over and dismounted, surrounded Boluo, pinched the man and beat his chest. They worked hard for a while before they rescued Boluo.

"Master Beile, what should I do now? Or not attack?" Junta's face looked even uglier than crying.

After hearing this, Boluo almost fainted from anger. He was helped to sit down on a stone, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, and was silent for a while, and said angrily: "The barbarian must have known my intention to siege the city and attack the city, so he deliberately played with me!"

When Boluo heard that Zhao Ming landed in Ningbo and marched westward to save Jinhua, he immediately led 40,000 main forces of the Qing army, excitedly rushing to Ningbo to find Zhao Ming to fight, but Zhao Tiebang avoided fighting and acted as a defensive attitude, which made him look dirty.

Seeing this, Boluo led his army to the southwest overnight, trying to defeat Zhu Yihai, but who knew that Zhu Yihai seemed to have discussed with Zhao Ming, and also set up a formation along the mountain and posed as a defensive posture.

The Qing army was led by the Ming army and ran around, but the Ming army did not fight, which made Boluo's strategy of defeating each of them unable to achieve.

Junta was frowning and crying, "Master Beile, what should I do now?"

Boluo was speechless for a moment and attacked Zhu Yihai, but he couldn't beat him up for a while. When Zhao Tiebang learned that he was retreating, he would inevitably continue to march towards Jinhua.

This made Boluo stand in a dilemma, and at this moment, a cavalry rushed over, rolled over and dismounted, and reported urgently, "Report to Master Beile, tens of thousands of Ming troops in Xianxia Pass, march eastward, and vanguard down from Quzhou!"

"What?" Boro stood up from the stone with a blink of an eye, his eyes turned black and his body staggered.

"Be careful, Mr. Beile!" Everyone hurriedly supported him, but they didn't faint again.

Boluo sat down again, gritted his teeth, "Damn Zheng Zhilong, he actually dared to send troops!"

"You are the one who leads the army, Zhu Chenggong!" The Qing army scout hurriedly kowtowed.

Boluo can't care who leads the troops now, he only knows that he is in trouble.

Before he could catch his breath, another rider came, but he left behind the scout who monitored Zhao Ming.

The cavalry rushed over, turned over and dismounted, knelt down in a hurry, pointed to Dongfang and said, "Master Beile, Zhao Manzi led his army to advance towards Jinhua!"
