If there is a mistake in Pinggang Mountain, it will directly affect the Three Realms and Yiting.

Once Guali is missing in the Three Realms, Yiting is the only passage for Jin Shenghuan's troops and all the Qing troops in Shaoxing Prefecture to evacuate from Shaoxing Prefecture.

In fact, at this time, Jin Shenghuan should have transferred a powerful force of Lihai Qing army to increase the defensive power of the main pass of the Yiting to ensure that the rear road is not blocked, and even a part of the city should be drawn to defend the Yiting.

In this way, even if the Shaoxing Battle fails, it can still be withdrawn from Shaoxing smoothly. No matter whether it goes west to Jiangxi or south to Jinhua, there is no hindrance.

After all, the main force of the Qing army was in Fujian, and the Qing army in the north of the Yangtze River was beyond reach.

Unfortunately, Jin Shenghuan made a logical mistake. He believed that Wang Deren could defend Pinggang Mountain, and the Ming army outside the city came from Hangzhou.

It is not a secret that Hangzhou's troops are in power. Now there are war reports from Lihai and Guali. The number of troops that the Ming army in Hangzhou can break into the Three Realms is limited, that is, at most, there are only three or four thousand people.

This wrong judgment made Jin Shenghuan not alert to the post Pavilion.

Jin Shenghuan believed that as long as Guali was not broken through and Li Haiqing army could block the city from breaking out, the situation in Shaoxing Prefecture was still under his control. Jin Shenghuan decided to make a decision after getting Guali's latest battle report.

But waiting around, before Guali's battle report came, Jin Shenghuan was a little anxious and sent a scout to Guali.

During this time gap, Chi Erhan's rear infantry arrived, giving Chi Erhan enough time to purify the remaining soldiers of Fang Guoan Ministry of Security.

It was not until two hours later that when the Ming army began to organize the siege at the Ximen, Jin Shenghuan felt something was wrong.

Because the scouts sent to Guali did not come back, this is very abnormal.

It’s only a few dozen miles from Shaoxing Prefecture to Guali. No matter how delayed it, one hour was enough to go back and forth.

But I failed to come back in two hours, which means that Guali has changed.

This understanding made Jin Shenghuan realize that he had made a mistake in his judgment since the battle between Ximen.

If Gua Li is in trouble, then the Battle of Shaoxing will be half defeated.

Jin Shenghuan immediately adjusted his thinking and ordered a unit to be sent to the post pavilion, with the intention of sticking to the Qing army's retreat.

It is obvious that Jin Shenghuan is already preparing for failure.

Unfortunately, Jin Shenghuan's order has no possibility of execution.

Because at this time, a messenger of the Qing army came to report in a hurry that Yiting was attacked by a large-scale Ming army. More than a thousand defenders fought to the death and their entire army was wiped out. Yiting... was lost!

Jin Shenghuan was stunned. Guali, Lihai and Pinggangshan were the three most important battle sites in this battle, but the first one to be lost was Yiting, which was the only way for the Qing army to evacuate from Shaoxing Prefecture.

Coincidentally, the so-called blessings come in unparalleled ways, and misfortunes never come in singular ways.

Just when we learned that the post pavilion had fallen, news came from the North Gate defenders that the Ming army vanguard appeared in the North Gate.

The Ming army appeared in the north gate, which means that Guali had lost its destruction. Otherwise, the Ming army would not have appeared in the north gate. No wonder there was no Guali war report, and the sending of scouts was also sank to the sea.

This made Jin Shenghuan Toutou suddenly become as big as a fight.

With his instinct to lead troops for many years, he quickly ordered to close the city gates on all sides and hold on to the waiting for assistance.

In this "response", Jin Shenghuan no longer expects Guali Ke Yongsheng and Pinggangshan Wang Deren. He is counting on more than 20,000 main forces of the Lihai Qing army.

....

The Ming army that appeared in the North Gate naturally had only the Zhou Dahu tribe.

However, there are less than 3,000 people in Zhou Dahu’s army. Obviously, this is a bluff.

For Shaoxing City with a strong city wall, these more than 2,000 people are flies that can be lingered.

But the problem is that if the troops are divided, the West Gate will be in danger.

A hero is hard to beat four-handed people. Many times, ants can even kill elephants.

Besides, Zhou Dahu outside the city will definitely not regard himself as a fly.

With so many dead brothers, he would help his brothers take revenge, and at least he would win a military merit for the living brothers that would be enough to bring honor to his ancestors.

This is a tired army, and there is no doubt that their spirits are probably the highest on the battlefield.

Five thousand people and six thousand Tartars fought a battle against Guali, killing the enemy back. This momentum... I want to summarize their current mood in one sentence, that is, I am invincible in the world.

This is an infantryman, without siege equipment, and their purpose was not originally to siege the city.

But they "received" various materials from the people, such as who doesn't have a wooden board?

For example, there is no cooking pot in that restaurant.

There are always beds to sleep, right?

At this time, most of the clothes were cotton and linen. Why did there be a few sacks and a quilt at home?

Bamboo poles, beams, etc.

So, the supplies collected from the homes of the people along the way became their equipment for siege.

There were no less than a hundred people along the way who were "harmed" by Zhou Dahu tribe. After the war, Wu Zheng was very worried. Should he be rewarded or punished?!

Of course, this is a later story.

But indeed, the life-and-death attack of Zhou Dahu troops completely disrupted Jin Shenghuan's deployment, and the two thousand defenders at the North Gate were in a hurry, which forced Jin Shenghuan to use the reserve team, which greatly weakened Ximen's defense.

The soldiers of Zhou Dahu's army used more than a dozen boards and wood, carrying sacks of five or six feet high. The sacks were naturally mixed with sand and stone and chaff. Such thick abandoned objects were probably not even shot by a crossbow, and they were also resistant to rockets.

As long as the stones on the city wall are not hit by the stones, even if the turmeric oil is poured down, it will not be ignited.

It was these rough tools that made Zhou Dahu's army approach the city wall and began to rely on simple ladders to climb the wall.

Forced Jin Shenghuan to mobilize the last reserve team.

But that's all, Zhou Dahu's army has no support at all, they are just the end of the strong bow.

After the Qing army arrived, Zhou Dahu's army was repelled.

This siege caused Zhou Dahu to lose nearly 300 more people.

....

In fact, there was an army at this time, which was very strange.

Originally, they should have arrived at Shaoxing Prefecture before Zhou Dahumen.

That is the Qing army's troops who retreated from Guali.

This is an elite Qing army, able to fight wars and is very fierce.

Ke Yongsheng was also a powerful general of the Han army inlaid with red flags. If he could arrive at Shaoxing Prefecture before Zhou Dahu, then Zhou Dahu would not have had anything to do outside Shaoxing City.

Moreover, his battle losses in Guali were smaller than Zhou Dahu, and he still had more than 4,000 troops under his command.

If you enter Shaoxing Prefecture, the defense capabilities of Shaoxing Prefecture will at least double.

But Ke Yongsheng did not come. His whereabouts was Lihai. From Guali along the Cao'e River, you can reach Lihai first east and then south.

Ke Yongsheng was already suspicious of Jin Shenghuan, so he naturally would not choose to go to Shaoxing Prefecture to meet Jin Shenghuan again.

He chose to join the Lihai Qing army because he wanted to control the Lihai Qing army. As long as the more than 20,000 Qing troops were in hand, there was still a possibility of the battle in Shaoxing Prefecture.
