Fatty Lu set off from Huzhou to Hangzhou on October 23rd. Before that, Fatty's army successfully ambushed and defeated Laita in Yuanjiahui in the southwest of Huzhou, and almost killed the remnants of Laita. Seeing that the fat man's army was under strict blockade in the south, he had no hope of escaping back to Hangzhou. In desperation, he took the last three or four hundred cavalry and fled to Wuzhen. From Wuzhen, he withdrew to Jiaxing, where he joined the Qing army guards. The army captured Huzhou. So far, the 30,000 army led by Laita has been completely annihilated. Not only does it no longer have the power to harass and threaten the southern line of the Fatty Army, but it can only huddle like a tortoise in several fortified cities, waiting for the Fatty Army to defeat them one by one. .
Then, Fatty Lu adopted Yao Qisheng's suggestion to attack Hangzhou, leaving Guo Yingfu to lead an army of 4,000 to defend Huzhou - including many new soldiers and the Huzhou army brought by Wu Qi, otherwise Fatty Lu's 25,000 troops Allocation is long gone. Then Fatty Lu personally led an army of 23,000, carrying only half a month of food and grass, and ventured south to attack Hangzhou.
At the same time, Fatty Army's Suzhou defender Lu Fatty's old lackey Li Tianzhi also sent a mobile army of 3,000 to the south of Shengze Town, which borders Suzhou and Jiaxing, to monitor the movement of the Qing army in Jiaxing and is ready to cooperate with Guo Yingfu to protect Fatty. The army's food road and retreat.
Fatty's army only walked for three days on the two hundred and twenty-mile road from Huzhou to Hangzhou. When they passed through Deqing County on the way, they encountered the situation that Lao Wenliang, the county magistrate, closed the city and refused to surrender. Fatty Lu, who always admired the speed of soldiers, ignored them , only ordered Han Yuanren to lead an army of 3,000 to attack, while the main force bypassed the county town and continued southward, and on the evening of October 25, the whole army came to the city of Hangzhou. The dreams of Li Zhifang, governor of Zhejiang Province of the Qing Dynasty, and Tula, the general of Hangzhou of the Qing Dynasty, in Hangzhou were broken. No matter which Qing army team in the surrounding area, it is impossible to arrive in Hangzhou for reinforcements before the end of the month. The Hangzhou defenders are almost isolated.
"Ah, I finally came to Hangzhou!" Looking at the towering city walls of Hangzhou in the distance with his hands behind his back, Fatty Lu was filled with emotion, complaining to himself, "I remember the last time I went to Hangzhou was when Kang Mazi was six years old, because I was in a hurry to get in." Beijing had an audience with Emperor Mangou, so he didn¡¯t take time to visit the West Lake, so he took a boat and went north from the canal. This time, I¡¯m revisiting the old place, and judging by this posture, I¡¯m afraid I still don¡¯t have much time to swim in the West Lake, working hard, poor working life.¡±
"Boss, I want to wait for a while with emotion, military affairs are more important." Wang Shaobo, who was quite opposed to the attack on Hangzhou this time, frowned, stood on the map sand table that Yao Qisheng made by himself, pointed to a position and said: "Boss, the students think Our army should divide up and go to Xiaoshan in the southeast of Hangzhou. This is a throat. No matter if Mangou returns from the direction of Jinhua, or from Shaoxing or Ningbo, he must pass through Xiaoshan. The army can play a preventive role, and when necessary, it can buy time for the main force of our army to react."
"How far is Xiaoshan from Hangzhou?" Fatty Lu asked without looking back.
"About twenty miles." Yao Qisheng, a native of Zhejiang, replied on behalf of Wang Shaobo.
"Let Zuo Jing lead 1,000 infantry to move to Xiaoshan and keep close contact with the main force. In addition, let Kong Fanlin lead 500 people to monitor the mouth of the Qiantang River to prevent dogs from coming to help from the sea." Fatty Lu ordered casually, but the fat head still He refused to come back, but continued to sigh, "West Lake Water, Leifeng Pagoda, Xuxian White Snake, Fahai Saint Monk, when can I spare some time to visit you? It's a pity that it's not the White Snake I met. , otherwise Yi Ge, I am handsome, what share is there for Xu Xian?"
"This fat man is not only black-hearted, but also thick-skinned." Yao Qisheng muttered in a low voice, and then reminded: "General, the situation in Hangzhou that the students have learned is the situation when they went north with Lai Tamangou on October 14th. The students don't know if there are Mangou troops to reinforce Hangzhou during the eleven days, and I hope the general will handle it carefully."
"Of course I've thought about this, and I've sent soldiers to investigate long ago." Fatty Lu continued to answer casually, then shook his head and chanted, "When will the West Lake dance and dance be off? The warm wind makes tourists drunk. Let¡¯s treat Hangzhou as Bianzhou¡ªI really hope that the gang of dogs in Hangzhou will be as good as the dogs in Zhejiang we encountered before, so that we can be more confident in attacking the city.¡±
"Regarding this point, please rest assured, General." Yao Qisheng said with a smile: "Most of the elite soldiers of Zhejiang Mangou are on the southern line, and most of the elite soldiers on the northern line have been wiped out by the general in Yixing and Huzhou. Most of the Mangou army is the second-line army, and the combat effectiveness is not very strong. The main force of the mite soldiers in the city has been taken to the south by Mangou Axitu and Sai Baili, and there are not many guards left in the city. There is Mangou Hangzhou General Tula who is old and sick, and already has plans to retire from illness, and will not cause too much trouble for the general."
(ps: The fact that Tula was seriously ill is a historical fact. Tula reported illness on June 19th, the thirteenth year of Mazi, and Mazi ordered Tula to return to Beijing to recuperate, and Mahada took over.Jiao's elder sister exclaimed, "Grandfather, old man, already promised the little sister to you, the general?"
Fatty Lu nodded with a wry smile, and said helplessly, "Yes, I am your future brother-in-law. Sister-in-law, my unmarried wife Huang Xifeng should be living in the city with my father-in-law, right?"
"No, Xifeng is not with her father now." Xiaojiao's sister timidly replied: "She is being pulled by the ear by you, General."
"You are Huang Xifeng?" Fatty Lu was even more stupid. When he lowered his head to look at Pepper whose ear was being held by him, he was shocked to find that Pepper's childish face was full of childishness. Staring big eyes at small eyes with such a little chili fiancee for a long time, Fatty Lu couldn't help but screamed again, "Oh my God? Master Huang, why did you make such a small cunning promise to me?"
"You are my husband?" Little Pepper finally came back to his senses. After blinking his beautiful little eyes a few times, Little Pepper suddenly hugged Fatty Lu's fat leg, and shouted happily: "Master, I am Huang Xifeng , I am Huang Xifeng! It turns out that my husband is so powerful, with so many soldiers and horses and such a large territory! Xianggong, I want to help you manage your accounts! Manage money and food! Xianggong, you want to teach me how to grow Baqi ointment and how to make colored glaze Mirror, teach me to find silver mines!"
"Little girl, we have to discuss our affairs."
"No! You have already accepted the marriage certificate, and I am yours! Otherwise, you are Chen Shimei! You are a heartless man! My husband¡ª!"
"Master Huang, you are cheating!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )(Remember this website URL: www.hlnovel.com
