Chapter 306 The Three Realms Are Blocked
This means that from the moment Wu Zheng ordered the turn, the distance between the enemy and us was at least more than forty miles.
This distance is enough for reinforcement of Chen Sheng's troops.
But Wu Zheng knew in his heart that these forty miles were definitely not a safe distance.
As long as the Ming army encounters delays at any time, these forty miles will only take a stick of incense for the cavalry under Boluo.
The gunpowder in the official road caused the Qing army to suffer a loss, but the casualties were not large, and at most it would not exceed 10%.
Such losses are almost negligible for this cavalry.
It would not cause too much panic, because those who should be panic were all killed on the spot.
Those who stay are at most lingering fear.
So, in order to seize the time, Wu Zheng immediately ordered to move forward at full speed.
....
Looking back, I need to talk about Qian Sule and Zhang Huangyan who had been with Wu Zheng.
When the official gunpowder was detonated, Wu Zheng divided a cavalry of 300 people and escorted Qian Sule and his party to the Three Realms and break through in the direction of Shengxian County.
Even if the three hundred cavalry encounters twice as many enemies as they are, they are not without the power to fight back.
For Sheng County, which is dozens of miles northwest of the Three Realms, it is normal to have these 300 cavalry escorts.
No one expected that the Qing army would station troops in the Three Realms.
No, to be precise, it was not expected that the Qing army would still stockpile people in the Three Realms.
In fact, Dodo and Boluo did not have the intention to set up ambushes in the Three Realms.
According to the truth, Boluo led eight or nine thousand people to "escort" the Ming army across the Three Realms. Even if there were soldiers in the Three Realms, they should have been transferred because the Qing army's troops were not strong.
The three realms are actually not big, less than ten miles in a radius, and are surrounded by the mountains, on a mountain, a small plain surrounded by the river.
Therefore, even if you stay in the stockpile, there will not be many people.
But because of this, the terrain of the Three Realms is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is not suitable for large-scale combat.
There were indeed not many Qing troops in the Three Realms, only one hundred people. This was the "forgotten" garrison after the troops were drawn.
But these hundred people caused great trouble to the Ming army who escorted Qian Sule and his party.
Since the "treacherous plan" that Shen Zhiyuan came up with the Qianhu House in Lianghu last year, the simple fortifications of the Three Realms have always existed.
After the Qing army occupied Shaoxing Prefecture, although it was not reinforced, it was not demolished.
In other words, these fortifications were built by Wu Zheng's own troops, so as to deal with the charge of the enemy cavalry.
The official road must pass through is full of wooden fences and caltrops. At least sixty of the hundreds of Qing troops had archers. Looking down on the hillside on one side of the official road was enough to block the passage of the Ming army.
Therefore, when the Ming army and his party entered the area of the official road, they were caught off guard by the Qing army's arrows.
After one encounter, more than ten people were injured and killed.
Fortunately, the Ming army was in front of the cavalry and Qian Sule and his party were protecting each other. Otherwise, the sudden blow alone would be enough to make Wu Zheng regret for his whole life.
Qian Sule had to speak in front of Wu Zheng before, but was not as suspicious as Wu Zheng guessed, and felt guilty in his heart.
But... Qian Jinxuan is also among the pedestrians.
Qian Jinxuan, Qian Sule's only daughter, was the woman who was stopped before Wu Zheng was about to return to Hangzhou to board the boat.
Wu Zheng has never even seen her appearance, but it is undeniable that her name is Wu Zheng's wife.
Logically, Qian Jinxuan should not have appeared among the people in this group. Qian Sule and Zhang Huangyan were to confuse Duoduo and Boluo, but Qian Jinxuan should have followed Zhu Mai and her party.
Needless to say, Wu Zheng didn't know about this matter, and even Qian Sule did not agree with it.
But Qian Jinxuan insisted, and she only used one sentence to convince her father Qian Sule - marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog.
Since Wu Zheng is in danger on this trip, she should stay with Wu Zheng. Shouldn't his wife be like this?
If Wu Zheng knew about this, he would be determined to be arguing.
But the Qian family has such a temper, from my son to my daughter.
It’s true that Qian Sule just took this set.
Rule is greater than fate.
So, Qian Jinxuan hid in the carriage and mixed into the army.
But when Wu Zheng realized that the Qing army had a problem with its military strength and had a change in the plan and he wanted to go to war with the Qing army, Qian Sule was worried.
Originally, it was considered that Wu Zheng led the cavalry. Under normal circumstances, as long as the Qing army learned that Wu Zheng was not escorting the imperial monarch and ministers, the Qing army would not attack to the death.
Because that would be useless, even if Wu Zheng's troops were annihilated, Duoduo would not be able to obtain Zhu Mai and his group.
It will be no good for both sides to fight for both sides. After all, the armistice agreement between the two sides is still in the effective stage.
Therefore, in Qian Sule's thinking, Qian Jinxuan was in danger of being with him.
But the plan changes have made the original considerations nonsense.
Qian Sule hesitated whether to disclose this to Wu Zheng, but Qian Jinxuan refused.
This time, Qian Jinxuan convinced her father with one sentence - telling Wu Zheng that it was a mess of his heart, so it would be better not to say it!
Qian Sule felt it was reasonable, but when he was in front of Wu Zheng, Qian Sule still wanted to speak. After all, as a father, he did not want to lose his only daughter.
When the words came to his mouth, Qian Sule didn't say it.
Because he knew that Qian Jinxuan was right, letting Wu Zheng learn about this matter at this time would only make him feel confused.
In Qian Sule's mind, Zhu Ma and the court's safety are still more serious than the safety of his daughter...
Since Wu Zheng had the intention to reinforce the court, how could he influence Wu Zheng's decision for his family?
This is exactly the loyalty of Qian Sule, the Minister of Personnel of the Ming Dynasty.
It was not until the Qing army in the Three Realms that Qian Sule told him about this matter.
And speaking out was not about Song An, but about Zhang Huangyan.
When Zhang Huangyan heard this, he became angry and scolded Qian Sule and said, "Mr. Qian is so confused! Can you hide this from me and Wu Zheng? Do you know that if Ling Yuan had a good life, how can we face Wu Zheng who was trying to save His Highness?"
Qian Sule was indeed in a mess at this time and let Zhang Huangyan scold him, "Xuanzhu, it's not that Qian intended to hide it from him, but... I'm afraid that if Wu Zheng knew that Xiaoxuan'er was there, he would probably not go to reinforce Your Highness. Wouldn't your Highness be in danger?"
Zhang Huangyan was so angry that he stamped his feet, "Mr. Qian, Lord Qian, don't say that you are the only gentleman in this world, and you are the only one who is righteous in this world, and you are the one who is not loyal and righteous in this world. Today, don't you understand Wu Zheng's loyalty? If he had a strange intention, how could he let his sister Wu and wife Zhou go with His Highness? Even if you tell Wu Zheng Lingyuan here, he will definitely not ignore His Highness's safety!"
Qian's face was terrible, "Well... at this time, please give me some advice."
