The Qing army ran away. Facing the 4 Ming army, the 10 Qing army fled in despair under the leadership of Bo Ji.

Of course, in Bo Ji's words, this is not called running away, but turning in!Call for a different direction to attack!

This is a reflection of his prudence, tact, and consideration of the overall situation!

However, although the Qing army fled, Quzhou City was ruined into a mess.

Quzhou Yamen had previously requisitioned a wave of grain in order to fill the grain shortage in the warehouse, leaving many people without enough to eat. Then when the Qing army fled, in order to delay the Ming army and prevent the Ming army from quickly catching up, Bo Ji ordered the entire city to Arson.

When the Ming army arrived at Quzhou City, the entire city was enveloped in fireworks.

Seeing Quzhou City turned into a sea of ​​flames and the people crying and running all over the city, Li Zhenhua could only order the troops to put out the fire first.

However, Li Zhenhua was not worried that Bo Ji had really escaped. The Qing army was running towards Hangzhou. The Marine Corps had already been waiting for them there, and a team of scouts carrying radios had been falling behind the Qing army. The rear of the army reported the Qing army's movements in real time.

……

Quzhou City is more than 100 kilometers away from Hangzhou. If the Qing army followed the usual marching speed, it would take them eight to nine days to travel this distance.

However, because he was worried that the Ming army behind him would be driven up, Bo Ji kept ordering his troops to march. In just three days, the Qing army ran hundreds of miles, passed Jiande, and reached Tonglu.

At this time, the Qing army finally could no longer run, and each of them stopped on the edge of the Fuchun River, breathing heavily.

"Where are we? How far are we from Hangzhou?"

Bo Ji looked at the steep mountains on both sides of the river bank, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. He came to Dong Hongzhe and asked.

"General, we should be almost at Tonglu, we are almost halfway there."

Dong Hongzhe looked up at the mountains on both sides of the river bank and replied, "This is the only section of the entire Fuchun River basin that is a canyon area, so it is easy to identify."

Bo Ji did not answer, but ordered the troops to cook food, rest for half an hour, and then continue to set off.

He always has an indescribable sense of uneasiness about this area.

But he didn't think much about it, nor did he associate this feeling of uneasiness with the Ming army. After all, no matter how powerful the Ming army was, they couldn't fly in front of them...

Half an hour later, the Qing army replenished their strength and went back on the road. As the mountains on both sides of the army advanced, the mountains on both sides became steeper, and the uneasiness in Bo Ji's heart seemed to become stronger.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Boom boom boom..."

At this moment, fierce gunfire sounded from the bank of the Fuchun River.

Bo Ji, who was already nervous due to uneasiness, was almost frightened off his horse by the sudden sound of gunfire.

He managed to steady his mind and looked up following the gunshots, but this look almost scared him out of his body.

I saw dragon flags flying everywhere on the hillside on the south bank of the Fuchun River. A large number of Ming soldiers were pouring firepower on them, and their marching team on the bank was being beaten to pieces by the attack from above.

"There is an ambush! Retreat! The Ming army has an ambush!" Bo Ji shouted loudly.

He never expected that the Ming army would run in front of them and set up an ambush waiting for them.

Bo Ji's shouts were of no use in this noisy battlefield. In this situation, who didn't know that he was ambushed?

The Ming army on the hillside is the Ming army marines coming south from Hangzhou.

Originally their mission was to intercept the remnants of the Qing army that had escaped from Quzhou City. Who could have imagined that Bo Ji was so afraid of death that the Quzhou City Guards abandoned the city and fled without even defending it, leaving them to face nearly 10 Qing troops. .

6000 versus 10!

The pressure is not that great.

Fortunately, there was a reconnaissance team following the Qing army to report the Qing army's situation in real time.

For this reason, the Ming army arrived at the canyon area on the Fuchun River ahead of the Qing army and set up an ambush.

Although it is impossible to completely wipe out the Qing army, there is no problem in stopping them.

"Da da da……"

The Ming army machine gunners on the hillside quickly shook the crank handles of the Gatling machine guns. As they moved, long tongues of flame continued to burst out from the muzzles of these machine guns.

In fact, the rate of fire of these old-fashioned Gatling machine guns depends entirely on the speed of the soldiers shaking the crank. In the past, due to insufficient supply of bullets, the Ming Army's machine gunners always fired fast when using the machine guns.

但是今天不一样了,50万发子弹除了分给1000支步枪的10万发子弹外,其余的40万发子弹全部留给了新补充的10挺机枪。

And this is just the bullet supply for this battle.

A machine gun has 4 rounds of ammunition. For the machine gunners of the Ming Army who are used to poverty, this is the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair.

In other words, they have never fought such a rich war!

Therefore, the machine gunners at this moment are almost turning their cranks out of the flower.

The Ming army fought hard, but the Qing army below was in bad luck, especially the Eight Banners veteran soldiers.

Because the Eight Banners soldiers were all cavalry, and in order to prevent Bo Ji from being hung on the back of the butt bit by bit by the Ming army like before, all the Eight Banners soldiers were at the front of the team.

But as a result, the Eight Banners soldiers were completely covered by the firepower of the Ming army.

The Eight Banners soldiers who had worked almost all the way in Quzhou City returned their money and profits this time.

Fight high and low, and beat stupid people. In this ambush line that was more than 2 kilometers long, the Ming army's machine guns, rifles, and mortars combined to weave a firepower net that beat the Qing army to the point where they peeed and cried bitterly.

Faced with a top-down attack, the weapons in the hands of the Qing army were almost useless.

Some brave Eight Banners men used their full bows to shoot arrows at the Ming army halfway up the mountain. However, most of the arrows fell headlong before they could fly to the Ming army's position. A few of them were able to fly to the Ming army's position. The arrows have also consumed all their kinetic energy and become inert.

Bows and arrows are useless, and the same is true for bird guns, and the bird gunners in the Green Camp have long been frightened, and there are very few counterattacks.

"Get out of here! Get out of here!" The frightened horse, Bo Ji, tried his best to control the horse while shouting loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the head of an Eight Banners officer next to him suddenly exploded like a big watermelon, and his face was instantly covered with warm blood and brain matter.

"what!"

Like a frightened little daughter-in-law, Bo Ji let out a piercing scream. He hurriedly used his hands to wipe the brains off his face. From his appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was a dignified first-class general running for his life.

"General! Are you okay!"

Several loyal soldiers of the Eight Banners Qing Dynasty rushed over and hurriedly helped Bo Ji up who had fallen off his horse, while cleaning the brains from his face.

Bo Ji finally opened his eyes again, but before he could speak, countless blood mist exploded on the bodies of the guards in front of him. One person's head exploded again, and the other one even cut off the waist directly.

"what!!!"
