The battle on Pantuo Ridge started with the Qing army's forceful attack on Zuozhen and lasted for several hours. Under the attack of the volunteers from Zhongchong Town and Changlin Temple, the Zhongying and Zuoying of Zhangzhou Town collapsed on Pantuoling.

Wang Bangjun, the chief military officer guarding Zhangzhou Prefecture and the governor of Qianshi, was killed by Ke Chenshu, and his head was circulated in front of the formation.

A general officer was blocked by the Ming army and died on Pantuo Ridge. As his head was confirmed, the morale of the Qing army plummeted. Even Wang Zhigang had seen the Ming army's intentions.

With fewer troops, it would be difficult to drive his soldiers to attack the mountain.?

The thick fog was still there, and Wang Zhigang also began to doubt whether this Ming army was the vanguard of reinforcements, or just what he expected. The soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and since it was no longer certain whether this was a trap, Wang Zhigang had to

Temporarily avoid the enemy to avoid greater losses. Withdraw troops from Zhenbiao on the left, and Xie Ziwen and Wei Biao's troops also hurriedly left this dangerous area. Finally, when Ke Chenshu returned to the army, Hao Wenxing had to give up the gate that had been breached.

, try to turn towards Zhangpu and Haicheng.

When the sun reached the top, the fog gradually began to thin and dissipate. Wherever Chen Kai looked, fiery red, gray-blue and variegated corpses were scattered all over the mountain roads, including some lightly or seriously wounded.

Abandoned on the battlefield.

"Take all the king's soldiers, whether they are wounded or killed. As for the Tatars, I don't remember that Chaozhou is rich in medicinal materials, so I took away the useful things and threw their corpses here to feed the wolves. The wounded ones were given a stab wound.

, it’s over.”

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Wherever Chen Kai went, admiring eyes followed him. Lin Dezhong, with his spare courage and some of the soldiers temporarily assigned to him by Ke Chenshu, began to clean up the battlefield excitedly. However, as the initiator of all this, he was already tired.

I had to sit on a big rock and was too lazy to move.

"It worked, thank you very much."

"Hey, we've known each other for several years, and for the first time I've discovered how you act like a mother-in-law. You've been thanking me for all your hard work these days."

When he met Ke Chenshu, Chen Kai explained the reason for his sudden appearance on the battlefield as the Qing army was expected to pass through Pantuoling, so he came to help in the battle, and by the way, the volunteers gained battlefield experience. As for why the battle was successful

The main force, saying "it's too foggy" is the most perfect explanation. Everything else can be attributed to luck.

They brought more than 220 volunteers, but now only 1,780 people are alive, and the rest are all injured. It was only the cohesion of the township party that lasted until Wang Bangjun died. Zhongchong Town

Over there, the situation was not much better, but the final winner was the Ming army. Chen Kai and Ke Chenshu worked together to capture no less than a thousand troops. It is very likely that the final result was more than their total strength combined.

.

Here, aside from the resolute defense of the revised Spanish phalanx and the bloody battles of the soldiers, what is more important is the dangerous terrain of Pantuo Ridge and the thick fog that obscures the view. Otherwise, without mentioning Zhongchong Town, Chen Kai’s visit would be just a send-off.

Just a human head.

"It's really dangerous. I originally planned to play the role of Im Tang Hui to rescue Jiao Zan, but unexpectedly, what I entered was not a black shop run by Liu Lihua at all, but a bandit's den. It was really exciting."

In the Battle of Pantuoling, in history, the Ming army was defeated by thick fog before being defeated by the Qing army one by one. Chen Kai originally planned to use this day to fish in troubled waters and act as a stir-up, but unexpectedly the fog filled the air.

, but turned the battle into a tough battle that only the main force could follow. Even though he had won the victory, Chen Kai could not help but feel secretly frightened.

There were many wounded, and they had been arranged to be bandaged and rested in the camp. The remaining soldiers and some lightly wounded began to clean the battlefield and repair defensive facilities to prevent the Qing army from returning.

Chen Kai himself was not injured. It was all thanks to a volunteer who used shields to cover the arrows for him throughout the whole process. However, the volunteer was hit by several arrows. You fought to the death and refused to retreat. Fortunately, there were no critical injuries and there was no danger for his life. Lu Ruoji and

Lin Dezhong suffered some minor injuries, as did Ke Chenshu, but Ke Chenmei almost lost his life and is still unconscious.

Ke Chenshu had already sent people to ask for help from Zheng Chenggong. At the same time, he also sent people to find reinforcements to suppress Zuozhen and Youchong Town, trying to get them to come back and guard the position of Youling again. In the afternoon, the thick fog began to gradually dissipate, and Chen

Kai inspected the wounded soldiers, and after not having much to do for the time being, he began to truly observe the Pantuo Ridge where he had been fighting for half a day.

"There are several pantuos on Pantuo Ridge, and the bamboos are rustling and the rain is passing by.

When the water is warm, fish come out of the underworld, and reindeer eat on the sunny slopes when the grass is fragrant.

The strange mountains seem to be lost in front of you, but the singing birds welcome you but they sing in harmony.

Even if the road in this world is dangerous, what about the Taixing Shu Road?"

Just as described in the poems written by predecessors, Pantuo Ridge has a dangerous terrain and the ancient road is difficult to travel, but it is the only way to connect Zhangzhou Fucheng with Zhao'an and the Yunxiao area. Looking down from the ridge, the winding path is narrow.

The mountains on both sides are steep. Even in Chen Kai's opinion, if a big rock was thrown from the top of the mountain, it would be a dimensionality reduction blow to anyone it hit.

The victory made Chen Kai feel a lot more relaxed, but the casualties did make him quite worried, especially as some of them might not survive tonight.

At nightfall, Huang Ting and He De, who received the news, also hurried back. They were only defeated, more because the thick fog intensified the fear of their subordinates. The actual casualties were not too many. On the contrary,

They were lost on the way to escape, but the casualties were even greater. Some of them had been captured by Zhongchong Town, and some were collected by Huang Ting and others on their way back. However, the number of those who were completely lost was still not illegal.

This is probably the biggest loss caused by this thick fog to the aid and suppression of Zuozhen and Youchong Town.

"Ke Shuai, the two of us are not strict in running the army. Thanks to Chen Shenjun's timely arrival, otherwise we and I will be blamed for death."

As soon as the two arrived, they were about to prostrate themselves to the ground, but were stopped by Ke Chenshu. Seeing this, Chen Kai also blamed the thick fog and said that he would defend the two of them in front of Zheng Chenggong.

.

"Historically, the brothers of the Ke family died for their country, and the entire army in Zhongchong Town was annihilated. Huang Ting and Hong Xishan, the then chief military officer of Youchong Town, were not punished by Zheng Chenggong because of the heavy fog. Why didn't you do it if you just picked it up for free?"

Reciprocating the favor, the two gave all the medicinal materials that had not been lost on the road to Zhongchong Town. He De even organized troops to raid the surrounding villages and towns, and moved all the doctors and medicinal materials they could collect to Pantuoling, and even

Even Wen Po was not spared. Although it was a bit excessive, the injured Zhongchong Town soldiers and volunteers also received better care, and there were fewer unnecessary deaths and disabilities, but it was also a thing

Good thing.

As expected by Chen Kai, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly led his troops after receiving the news. Even Zhao'an County was only asked by Shi Lang and Yang Cai to take the left and right Pioneer Town to retrieve it, while he led the rest of the troops to rush over.

However, when he arrived at Pantuoling, Chen Kai also confirmed the news that Wang Zhigang led his troops back to Zhangpu County to deploy defenses. Because of the thick fog, Zheng Chenggong did not punish Huang Ting and He De, but Youjia rewarded Ke Chenshu, Zhong Chong

Zhen and Changlin Temple volunteers,

Zhongchong Town’s merit rewards for enlisted officers were doubled, and their pensions were further improved on this basis. The more than 100 volunteers from Changlin Temple were treated the same as those from Zhongchong Town in terms of merit rewards and pensions, and Lin Dezhong was directly promoted from the general to the garrison.

, continued to work under Chen Kai, while Lu Ruoji was promoted from guerrilla general to deputy commander-in-chief, and led a battalion expanded based on these volunteers to garrison Yunxiao Town.

"Besieged by the Tatars who were several times our size, you were able to fight to the end, defeat the enemy troops, and kill the enemy commander Wang Bangjun. I, Zhu Chenggong, am proud to have subordinates like you. And today, I am even more proud of you."

What I want to thank is that he led the volunteers of Changlin Temple to travel hundreds of miles to aid Chen Kai, the governor of Zhangzhou Prefecture, and Chen Canjun. It was his strategizing that enabled our army to achieve this great victory. Soldiers, together with me, Zhu Chenggong, cheer for Chen Canjun.

Good!"

Thunderous cheers rose from Pantuo Ridge, as if even the stars in the sky were trembling at that moment. Chen Kai stood next to Zheng Chenggong, feeling the cheers of the crowd, his chest was swollen with passion, and he was almost lustful

Spewing out.

Note: In the play Sanchakou, Liu Lihua's role was originally a villain. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a leader watched the play and suggested that Liu Lihua should be a positive character, so it was changed to what it was later. But before that, even Liu Lihua's appearance and actions so far were changed.
