The Northern Expedition Army was as powerful as the forest, avoiding the disadvantage of numbers in the number of people to the greatest extent and fighting with the Qing soldiers who were swarming in. Although the number of Qing soldiers had an absolute advantage, more people were crowded at the foot of the mountain and could not play out for a while.

Jirgalang calmly dispatched troops and surrounded the entire hill. The deputy commander of the Inlaid Blue Flag in front of him came to Jirgalang and said excitedly: "Prince, there are indeed Hou Xuanyan's men in front, and Hou Xuanyan is 80% on this mountain."

Chahar was one of the two deputy commanders under the Inlain Lan Banner. After hearing his words, Jirhal could not hold back. He patted his forehead and shouted, "Okay! I'm afraid he's not here. This time Zheng Zhilong asked us to attack Ming together. Hou Xuanyan will be eliminated in the first battle. It's only a matter of time before Jiangnan is pacified, haha. Duoduo was determined to go back to escape the summer heat at that time, otherwise there would be so many things."

Jirgalang is a loyal fan of Huang Taiji. He actually looked down on Dorgon in his heart. In his opinion, Haoge should inherit the throne. If Jiangnan can be pacified this time, it will be a huge bargaining chip for their sect in the Qing Dynasty.

The fighting in the mountains and forests continued. Most of the Northern Expedition Army, which had killed red-eyed, had forgotten the reinforcements. The heavy enemies blocked their sight, but instead made them unable to see the dark enemies at the foot of the mountain. Even Hou Xuanyan rushed over to the side. Although these people took off their thick leather armor in fear of the scorching heat, they were still brave in the infantry battle. Especially the left and right wings of the Forward Battalion were the elite of the Eight Banners, all of which were selected as the bravest Manchu soldiers, and each banner was the task of their attack. Such dangerous tasks naturally had a very high casualty rate, so there were few battles left after entering the pass. They were kept as trump cards on weekdays. Today, they learned that Hou Xuanyan was on the mountain, and Jiergalang even played this deck.

The Qing army had a very obvious meaning. At any cost, it was necessary to wipe out the Northern Expedition Army in the forest and eliminate the confidant Hou Xuanyan.

Qin He was standing on the left and right, and there was a Qing soldier who fell to the ground at his feet. Qin He accidentally got a knife on his thigh and howled, gathering all his strength to slash at the Qing soldier who fell to the ground. The sword was so powerful that he just slashed onto the big tree next to him. The Qing soldier was determined to die, but when he saw that he had the opportunity to take advantage of it, he raised his knife and stabbed him in joy. Hou Xuanyan saw it clearly inside, so he simply turned the sword in his hand into a hidden weapon and threw it forward hard, hitting the bridge of the Qing soldier's nose. The Qing soldier delayed his action in pain. Qin He took this opportunity to pull out the knife and took it as a knife to kill him.

Seeing more and more Northern Expedition troops falling, Qin He jumped to Hou Xuanyan and shouted: "General, it's hard to withdraw now, why can't our reinforcements be there yet?"

Hou Xuanyan cursed inwardly, stepped forward to pick up the sword, and said, "If you hold on, you will have a way out. Zhu Dadian and Yan Yingyuan will arrive later. How are the left and right troops?"

Qin He leaned on the knife handle and fought for a moment of rest, saying, "Mr. Zhang defended the mountain and was the slowest place for the Qing soldiers to attack. It should be no problem that the Qing soldiers have not yet come up. Lord. Jiang is on our left side. I see that some Qing soldiers have come here."

Hou Xuanyan turned to the left and looked at it. The battle was as fierce as his side. His broken arms and limbs covered the mountainside. Another Qing soldier saw Hou Xuanyan here and didn't care about his target of fighting. He rolled to the side, and he skillfully took out the bow and arrow from his waist, pulled the bow and shot.

Zhang Yitong held a shield on the side and pulled the arrow away. Hu Bawan shot his arrow back and killed him.

Hu Bawan had a sweat on his forehead, and his hands were stained with blood. This wiped the blood on his face. He leaned closer and asked, "Master, are there any reinforcements? If you don't have the mark, you will protect you. Let's fight out."

Hou Xuanyan cursed: "Stop talking nonsense, you dare to escape at the last minute, I'm the first to kill you to sacrifice the flag."

Hu Bawan looked bitter and was about to make a few words of excuses when a rumbling cannon came from the south.

The artillery battalion of the Northern Expedition Army in the forest had already drawn out its steel knives to participate in the hand-to-hand combat. This shocking loud noise was not the momentum that the artillery battalion could fire.

After this sound, the entire hill seemed to tremble, and all the Qing soldiers at the foot of the mountain were stunned.

Hou Xuanyan's eyes lit up and said happily: "Haha, this is the giant cannon of our Wusong Navy. I have seen Yao Yiyao demonstrate to me in Songjiang. Only the giant cannon of Songjiang has this momentum. It is the Songjiang Navy who is here!"

Jiangpu City is close to the Yangtze River. Dozens of warships came from the river surface at this moment, and huge muzzles bombarded the Qing soldiers under the city. After the bombing, the warships approached the riverside, and decks were laid down, and countless Ming troops rushed out of the warships.

It turned out that the Wusong Navy could not defeat the Zheng family's navy. Zhang Mingzhen and Gong Zifang discussed that they could not defeat the left and right, so they simply drove all the warships into the Wusong River and blocked the sea entrance. The artillery set up on land was enough to shock the Zheng family's navy to not land, and their troops were seeking death after landing. Zhang Mingzhen closed all trade routes, and Songjiang Prefecture was ready for battle. The Zheng family's navy had all its skills and could not be used.

The enemy's warships were huddled in Wusong and could not come out. They could not take the opportunity to regain the Japanese route and start business. You should know that Zheng Zhilong in the rear was in Guangdong, Guangxi and Xia Wanchunhuo, although he was extremely vulgar and used artillery to guard Guangzhou City, as long as the Zheng family army appeared on the outside, it would be a devastating blow. The combat power, number of soldiers, and logistics and supplies were too different. The Zheng family and Fujian Province could not afford to compete for national strength. Their hope was all placed on their invincible navy and the Qing Dynasty's strong support from the north.

The Zheng family navy lost its opponent and did not dare to land at sea. Songjiang Prefecture and several prefectures in Linhai, Zhejiang were all well prepared and had strong troops. Zheng Hongkui, who led the troops, heard that his elder brother had suffered consecutive defeats in Guangzhou and did not dare to stay outside for a long time, so he hurried back to Fujian.

The liberated navy came to support him along the river and happened to meet Hou Xuanyan trapped.

There were not many Qing soldiers in the south, and they were rushed by the navy. Zhang Huangyan directly led his men to kill them, tearing a hole in the encirclement under Jirhalangbu.

Qin He was overjoyed when he saw this: "General, the south is open, let's rush out."

Hou Xuanyan wiped the blood on the sword with his boots and shook his head and said, "No, we can't restrain the Qing soldiers as soon as we retreat. The fighter planes are fleeting. We bite them tightly. Only when Yan Yingyuan and Zhu Dadian come will we achieve the greatest result."

Qin He's face turned red to the base of his neck and said loudly: "Hu Bawan, you escort the commander down the mountain, we are here to restrain the enemy."

Hou Xuanyan said sternly: "Get out, what are you going to restrain yourself? Without bait hooks, I can't catch fish, so I can't leave."
