On the north bank of Qiantang River, the Qing army camp spread, and the grave-like military camps were arranged along the river. It was difficult to count when you saw them. The dense soldiers walked through the camp and were busy preparing equipment.

In a large tent in the middle of the barracks, senior generals of the Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers gathered together to discuss military information.

At this time, two green camp generals knelt in the middle of the tent and kowtowed to apologize. "Prince Yu and two slaves led three thousand soldiers and horses to cross the river. When they met Wang Zhiren's warship, the raft was overturned by his warship, and the crossing of the river failed."

Duoduo ordered the army to collect ships, make rafts, and then force cross the Qiantang River, but almost all the ships in Jiangbei were taken away by the Ming army. The Qing army only used rafts to cross the river, and the raft transport capacity was limited. Once they met Ming army ships, they would easily be knocked over.

Duoduo frowned slightly, "The pseudo-Lu King has learned about Li Lutai and surrounded Shaoxing. Now, the barbarians still stick to the defense of the river and must have sent troops to deal with Li Lutai. Therefore, I must cross the river as soon as possible and attack the barbarians with Li Lutai. You two lose their troops and lose their power, what should we do?"

Liang Huafeng and Gao Jinku, two generals, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Prince Yu spares his life, I know my guilt. Please give me another chance to make meritorious service!"

At this time, Zhang Cunren said, "Prince, that Wang Zhiren was originally the General of Dinghai and controlled a part of the Zhejiang Navy. The Qiantang River is wide and not below the Yangtze River. It is the place where it is used. The two generals only prepared some rafts and forced to cross the Qiantang River. It is indeed difficult to succeed!"

When Duoduo heard the sound, his expression calmed down a little. He waved his hand and signaled the two to get up, "The King of Japan will let you go for the time being!"

"Sister, thank you for your kindness!" The two generals hurriedly saluted.

Duoduo was silent for a while and asked, "Li Shutai went deep alone. If I had no cooperation with me, the situation would inevitably be dangerous. Governor Zhang thought how should I cross the Qiantang River!"

Zhang Cunren said: "Now, there are only two strategies. One is to transfer warships, continue to make rafts, and then launch a forced ferry when they are ready. There are less than 30,000 Zhejiang soldiers who can fight. As long as the prince is fully prepared, it is not difficult to cross the river!"

As he said that, Zhang Cunren paused, "It's just that this strategy requires the transfer of the ship, which takes more than ten days to prepare. Another strategy is to take the cavalry to detour the Fuchun River upstream, cross the river from Fuyang, and circumvent the southern bank of Qiantang!"

Duoduo walked a few steps in the big tent with his hands behind his back, stood in front of the map, stared for a moment, and nodded slightly, "Hangzhou to Fuyang, cavalry can reach it in one day, and you can choose the second strategy!"

As they were talking, a burst of rapid footsteps gradually approached. Then, the curtain of the tent was lifted up by one person and snatched in, causing everyone in the tent to turn their heads and look at it. They saw a soldier of the Zhenglan Banner of Han army, who had just come in and fell to the ground.

Duoduo and others were shocked. A Qing general who was approaching the curtain hurried forward to support the Eight Banners soldier and exclaimed: "What's going on?"

There were several arrows behind the Eight Banners soldiers, and there were trauma caused by muskets. The black and solidified blood made the armor change color. His fingers were pointed to the west, his face pale, and he said as if he was panting: "Fu~Fuyang~ was taken back by the barbarian~"

Duoduo walked over quickly and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

"After Mele Ezhen captured Fuyang, he led the main force across Fuchun River and kept the slaves guarding the crossings of Fuyang on both sides of the ferry. Unexpectedly, after Ezhen left, the barbarian soldiers, who had been nearly 10,000 people, suddenly came from the north. The slaves waited for a thousand brothers to defend the two sides of the straits. They were killed off guard and lost Fuyang~"

Zhang Cunren said, "Prince, it should be the escaped barbarian Zhang Mingzhen, and the rebel general Wu Zhaosheng!"

When Duoduo heard this, he realized that the Ming army was blocking the gap and cutting off the contact between Li Lutai and the main force of the Qing army.

Duoduo's guess was right. The Ming army really wanted to use Jiang Fang to block his main force and eat Li Lutai who was alone in the army.

After thinking it through, the Prince of Manchu, who had great military achievements, couldn't help but sneer on his face and said with gritty teeth: "The barbarians are arrogant and do not take me seriously. They think that some defeated soldiers can block my crossing the river? The Yangtze River is the only one I have passed by, let alone a small Qiantang River."

After saying that, Duoduo waved his hand suddenly and ordered: "Zhang Cunren, you are responsible for mobilizing ships and rushing to make rafts, and here you can restrain King Zhiren and find an opportunity to cross the river. The Eight Banners Warriors will follow the king to run to Fuyang immediately!"

With a command, the Qing generals in the tent whistled and all held their fists to take the order.

The Southern Barbarians still turned against the sky. Seeing the Qing soldiers fleeing without looking at the wind, they wanted to eat nearly ten thousand Qing troops in one bite, and they were simply ignorant of life and death.

In the camp, Zhenmanzhou and Mongolian cavalry first completed the assembly, and then directly drove out of the camp. Ten thousand cavalry swept the earth and rolled westward.

The elite Han army flag carried firearms and followed closely behind with baggage, rushing to Fuyang.

...

In Fuyang City, the rebel soldiers were busy preparing to roll wood and stones, carry arrows, and prepare for defense.

On the city gate tower, Ma Shiying held the walls with his hands, looking at the direction of Jinling, and the people became much older.

He originally thought that he could recover Hangzhou and advance to Jinling this time, but he didn't expect that his dream would be shattered so soon.

At this time, he already knew that in the eastern Zhejiang crisis, the Qing general Li led Tai to lead nearly ten thousand Qing troops and broke into Shaoxing. The Duoduo army sent troops to the north of the Qiantang River. Once these two Qing troops cooperated, the entire river defense would collapse and the eastern Zhejiang would fall quickly.

At this time, the only opportunity in eastern Zhejiang was to prevent Li Rutai and Duoduo from joining forces inside and outside to annihilate the Qing army, and then return to the army to consolidate the defense of the river, which was still possible to protect eastern Zhejiang.

But can Duoduo watch the Ming army encircle and annihilate Li Lutai?

This is obviously impossible, so the Ming army had to block Duoduo on the north shore.

"Ma Ge, Fuyang, please!" Zhang Mingzhen next to him gave Ma Shiying a solemn greeting.

Originally, Zhang Mingzhen didn't like Ma Shiying, but Ma Shiying decided to defend Fuyang City on the north bank, so that Zhang Mingzhen and Wu Zhaosheng could set up defenses on the south bank, which shocked Zhang Mingzhen.

The Fuchun River was very long. In order to prevent the Qing army from attacking Fuyang and directly crossing the river, the Ming army must set up defenses on the south bank.

Wu Zhaosheng did not want to defend Fuyang, and Zhang Mingzhen was the main general, and he could not defend Fuyang, so Ma Shiying volunteered to take on the job.

Ma Shiying smiled and said, "I wish to do my best for the world! Please help General Zhang, be sure to guard the south bank and prevent Qing soldiers from crossing the river!"

At this time, Ma Shiao, wearing armor, hurriedly waited to climb to the front of the city, "The Qing soldiers are coming!"

Ma Shiying and Zhang Mingzhen's faces changed, and they saw Ma Shiao coming up. They didn't care about taking a breath and said anxiously. "The scout has discovered that the Qing army's horse army will go first, the main force will follow up, and the large-scale storm will run for Fuyang!"

Ma Shiying was shocked, but her face was calm and said to Zhang Mingzhen: "Marrior Zhang doesn't have to worry about Fuyang, please cross the river and deploy defenses quickly!"

Zhang Mingzhen didn't say much, so he clasped his fists solemnly, everything was in this ceremony, and then turned around and left the city.

After Zhang Mingzhen left, Ma Shiao stepped forward, looked at Ma Shiying's back, and sighed: "Why are you doing this?"

Ma Shiying turned his back to him and looked into the distance, "Do you know why my Ming Dynasty was defeated repeatedly? It is because all the civil and military officials only want to eat meat, and they are unwilling to bite bones and fight tough battles! Everyone gets the credit and hides when they have responsibilities. In this way, how can they not be defeated?"

Ma Shiao understood what Ma Shiying meant and remained silent. Ma Shiying waved, "Go and set up defense!"

...

On the twenty-one, Jinniu Ridge.

The sound of yelling and rumbling cannons began to sound at dawn.

In the dark night, a rocket snatched through the sky and landed on the hillside like rain of fire from the sky, illuminating the sky.

Ming army artillery roared, and the guns were flashing in the dark, and the cannonballs hit the hills, splashing fluffy of soil.

More than three thousand Eight Banners remnants built simple fortifications overnight to resist the attacks of the Ming army and fight for trapped beasts.

The fire man covered in fire on the top of the mountain made a shrill howl and rolled down the hillside, like a fireball rolling down the scene, tragic.

The Qing army was hit by shells and their bodies were smashed by shells...
