After Jin Shenghuan decided to surrender, he became more cheerful than Zhang Guowei's surprise.

He did not mention anything other than asking that the materials he had "raised" in the city (the property robbed from the people) were not required to be handed over.

Zhang Guowei knew that the situation was urgent, so he agreed without thinking.

Therefore, both sides completed the handover of Shaoxing City Defense with "happy" and the Ming army began to enter the city from the three-sided city gates and officially took over Shaoxing City.

Jin Shenghuan's troops were concentrated and placed in the west of the city, waiting for reorganization after the war.

The regaining of Shaoxing City is equivalent to giving Shaoxing Ming army a base. Even if the battle fails, the husband will not retreat and have no danger to defend.

This became the winner of this battle and influenced the outcome of the battle.

If Wu Zheng did not agree to Jin Shenghuan's conditions for a while, delayed Jin Shenghuan's surrender time in Xiancheng, and even fought with Jin Shenghuan, thus dragging his troops to Shaoxing City, the end of the war would be rewritten, and the best result of the Ming army was to withdraw from Hangzhou, Lihai and Pinggangshan on the same route.

There was even a danger of being surrounded by the Qing army from east to west.

Of course, this is a later story.

....

Wang Deren and Chi Erhan led cavalry to raid the Daoxue Granary.

This is a raid, not a sneak attack.

Three thousand cavalrymen, in plains without mountains, sneak attacks on a granary far away from the village in broad daylight, were very difficult and almost impossible, especially when time was tight.

Therefore, the right way is to attack with a rapid force and catch the garrison off guard.

But Wang Deren and Chi Erhan failed.

Because the first partial army sent by Ke Yongsheng arrived at the Daoxue Granary almost at the same time.

The difference is that one is from west to east and the other is from east to west.

The Qing army was very experienced. When facing the Ming cavalry, after they met, they did not go out to the key pass to fight because their troops were more than twice that of the Ming army. Instead, they guarded the key pass, allowing the Ming army to curse and only shoot arrows but not fight.

The two sides were thus in a stalemate.

The Ming cavalry had the advantage of speed, and the Qing infantry could defend the city.

But one thing is that the Qing army took a big advantage, that is, their arrows were shot farther than the Ming army, because they were archers and the Ming army was archers.

Therefore, after the two hatchbacks offset, the Qing army was still slightly better, but there were few casualties on both sides, and for a while, no one could do anything to anyone.

Chi Erhan insisted on attacking, but Wang Deren disagreed. He believed that if the cavalry was consumed in this granary, even if they won the final miserable victory, they would be punished by Wu Zheng.

Because this granary was optional for the Ming army, it was originally the granary of the Qing army.

The Ming army had its own supply channels, and the South's Shaoma was too expensive to form such a cavalry of 3,000 people.

Therefore, Wang Deren did not dare to take this risk. Once the cavalry was in trouble, it would be equivalent to breaking his retreat for a surrendered general who had just been newly attached.

Chi Erhan was indeed told by Wu Zheng to obey Wang Deren's command, so after the two argued, Chi Erhan stopped insisting. In fact, Chi Erhan was also muttering in his heart that if he launched a strong attack, these three thousand cavalry would indeed have great casualties, which would damage the young master's treasure, which made Chi Erhan a little scared.

But the question is, what should I do with the task now?

After discussing, the two chose a compromise method, which was Fire Attack.

Since it is already clear that you can't get the grain from the granary, just burn it with fire.

This is basically consistent with the command Wu Zheng had told before, which is the meaning of how much he could calculate as much as he could.

Therefore, both of them agreed with this and put it into practice.

For a time, the cavalry plundered the periphery of the granary with speed advantage and shot rockets towards the key pass.

The Qing army suddenly became panicked, and the defenders could only run with their feet and shoot arrows to stop them, but how could they run past the four hooves?

In addition, the key pass is a temporary building, unlike the city wall that is connected to the city wall, and can run. Often, when the defenders arrive in one direction, the Ming army has turned to the other direction to shoot arrows before they even draw their bows.

It is almost impossible to resist a rocket that can get into trouble.

So the Qing army focused on extinguishing the fire caused by rockets. Fortunately, the granary was focused on fire prevention and rat prevention, and there was a water source for fire extinguishing. In other words, the fire attack tactics of Wang Deren and Chi Erhan seemed lively, but the actual effect could only be said to be unsatisfactory. Although the granary was ignited, it did not cause an overall fire, which was far from the goal that was intended to achieve.

But this trouble delayed time.

Obviously, time stood on the side of the defenders, because at this time, the second army sent by Ke Yongsheng to transport grain appeared from east to west.

At this time, we have to say that Ke Yongsheng’s overall view of the battlefield and combat strategy are correct.

He accurately grasped the influence and the fundamentals of the situation in the war. It was obvious that mastering the Lihai Qing army was equivalent to taking the initiative in the battlefield, and mastering the Daoxu granary was equivalent to being invincible.

This statement has no conflict with the Ming army's invincible occupation of Shaoxing City.

The Ming army occupied Shaoxing City, which was equivalent to wedging a nail in Shaoxing Prefecture, so it was not difficult to be a Dingzihu.

If the Qing army obtained the Daoxue food, they would have no worries. Even if the retreat road to the post pavilion was cut off, it would not be difficult for them to stick to it.

If Wu Zheng really wanted to fight an annihilation battle, it would also require great and almost unacceptable casualties. Therefore, the final result could only be a stalemate, or a way out and drive away the Qing army.

This is why the Qing army occupied the Daoxue granary and became an invincible place.

But Ke Yongsheng was still careless, not that he sent insufficient troops, but that he should have led his troops to come in person.

Why do you say so?

Because when an army is in an unfavorable desperate situation, the presence or absence of the commander has a huge impact on the morale of the army. Moreover, with Ke Yongsheng's battlefield experience, he can make wise choices and decisions.

But Ke Yongsheng was careless. He was wary of the Ming army's possible attack on the granary, but he did not expect that Wu Zheng would react quickly and personally led another cavalry to reinforce.

This put the Qing army in a dilemma of encirclement between the East and West.

When Wu Zheng led the cavalry to arrive, Wang Deren and Chi Erhan were leading the cavalry to launch a raid on the second 6,000 troops sent by Ke Yongsheng.

Three thousand to six thousand sounds incredible.

But for different services, this is very common.

Just like two fighter jets dive at tens of thousands of infantrymen, there is nothing incomprehensible.

However, because of the frontal assault, coupled with the daytime, the Qing army had enough time to deal with it.

Therefore, Wang Deren and Chi Erhan's attack only chewed off a layer of skin of the Qing army, and could not break into the heart of the Qing army, so they plowed it a few times.

Wang Deren and Chi Erhan's troops abandoned the granary and attacked the Qing army reinforcements, which gave the Qing army in the granary a chance to fight.

This led to the situation where Wang Deren and Chi Erhan's cavalry were surrounded by two sides of the Qing army.
