When Liu Hansan arrived in Ningbo, he realized that he had come for nothing.

Zhu Yihai was dead, and the regime of King Lu was completely destroyed.

Except for Fang Guoan, there is no resistance in other places. As long as a will passes, those small places will surrender.

So far, the war in the south has come to an end temporarily.

Zhu Yujian, farther south, will be kept for later.

Their army had fought in the north before, and then went to the south for a long time. In the successive battles, many soldiers were killed and wounded.

Soldiers in the army are not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted and need to rest.

Continuing high-intensity battles, even the soldiers of the Wu army could not stand it.

More importantly, Liu Hansan will go back to attend Wu Changqing's enthronement ceremony, and if he continues to go south, he might miss such a big event.

Therefore, Liu Hansan decided to retreat to Nanjing to rest as planned.

After participating in the enthronement ceremony, he will go south with peace of mind, destroy Zhu Yujian, and completely pacify the south.

Leaving 5,000 main force plus 5,000 refitted soldiers in Ningbo, Liu Hansan took the army and began to return to Nanjing in batches by boat.

He didn't want to go on those mountain roads, they could exhaust people to death.

At the same time, Huangshan has also been conquered, and the large troops began to return.

Only Xue Guiren is still fighting.

"Damn, Fang Guoan, this coward, shrinks his head and hides his head and plans to be a hero."

Under a mountain pass, Xue Guiren cursed.

Along the way, they were constantly harassed by Fang Guoan's troops.

The Ming army didn't make contact with them either, they just hid on the road that the Wu army had to pass, and then suddenly came forward and threw some stones and grenades from the mountain to the road.

Then look at the situation, if Wu Jun is in disarray, they will rush over and kill.

If the Wu army is not in chaos, they will retreat into the jungle.

Xue Guiren was afraid of ambush and did not dare to chase.

Moreover, if you are not familiar with the terrain, it is not easy to chase.

As a result, Wu Jun could only be passively beaten along the way, unable to fight back, which was very embarrassing and demoralized.

In addition to ambush, the Ming army also wantonly destroyed the road along the way.

In some places, bridges were cut, some intersections were blocked by boulders, and in some places large pits were dug. As Wu Jun walked, some soldiers fell into the trap.

Along the way, although Wu Jun's losses were not large, the continuous casualties and the enemy were unable to do anything, which was still relatively demoralizing.

"Have you found a suitable place to camp yet?"

Xue Guiren asked.

The sky had darkened, and the Wu army urgently needed to camp.

However, camping is not just about anywhere.

It cannot be at the foot of the mountain, otherwise the Ming army can throw boulders or fireballs on the top of the mountain.

Nor can it be by the river. If there is a reservoir in the upper reaches of the river, the Ming army can dig the reservoir and use the flood to wash away their camp.

All in all, there are a lot of things to be aware of when setting up camp.

"Report, there is a relatively large flat land two miles ahead, and the terrain is relatively high, which seems to be more suitable for camping."

The sentry replied.

"Then speed up the march and hurry up and set up camp before dark."

......

On an unnamed mountain, Fang Guoan held up his binoculars and watched Wu Jun busy camping, and said helplessly: "The generals in Wu Jun are very experienced, and they have made no mistakes along the way."

He originally planned to rely on the complex mountainous terrain to defeat the Wu army, but now the generals of the Wu army have shown extremely high military literacy.

Just on the front, Fang Guoan knew that he was not an opponent.

"I heard that Wu Jun's soldiers usually need to go to night school to learn to read, and officers need to go to military school to learn military theory. There are also staff members among them, and they work together to make mistakes."

said a lieutenant.

Even soldiers can read, this is too extravagant, too incredible.

Like in their army, many corps leaders, even leaders, and even hundreds of households are illiterate.

As for systematic military theory, let alone think about it, most of which are based on accumulated combat experience.

In terms of military literacy, they are more than one grade behind Wu Jun.

"General, what if they don't get caught all the way, don't come after us, and go straight to Jinhua?"

another general asked.

Their plan was to use favorable terrain to ambush the Wu army, lure the enemy, etc. on the road, trying to use these methods to find excellent fighters and defeat the Wu army.

Once Wu Jun missed the plan and went straight to Jinhua, they would be in trouble.

If you return to Jinhua to defend the city, you will definitely not be able to keep it.

Without returning to Jinhua and staying on this mountain, Wu Jun would not be able to defeat them.

However, Wu Jun could control the plain area around Jinhua by occupying Jinhua.

Just use a move to clear the walls and clear the fields and take away the surrounding food, Fang Guoan and the others will be defeated.

There are tens of thousands of them, and they can't find enough food in this mountain.

Without food, will these soldiers continue to follow Fang Guoan? I am afraid that the next day after the lack of food, these soldiers will mutiny.

"Look for an opportunity for a night attack tonight, go there if you have the chance, and continue harassing if you don't."

Fang Guoan did not answer that

a problem because he didn't know what to do.

All he can do is to take one step at a time. If the night attack can be successful tonight, then there is no need to think about that problem.

If the night attack is unsuccessful, then there is trouble.

Wu Jun is now only a day's journey away from the mountain pass. Tomorrow Wu Jun will be able to leave the mountain and arrive at Zhuji County.

When they got out of the mountain, it was even more difficult for them to find a chance to defeat Wu Jun.

So tonight is their last chance.

"As ordered."

Several subordinates said.

However, when he shouted loudly, he didn't necessarily think so in his heart.

Although these people have followed Fang Guoan for many years, Fang Guoan used to be very kind to them.

However, now that Fang Guoan is obsessed and stubborn, they don't want to follow him to death.

If there is hope, they can still risk their lives.

But now the whole army, even some ordinary soldiers, can see that they have no chance of winning.

As long as there is still a little ability to resist, it will not be reduced to the point where only dare to harass, and dare not fight head-on.

Where to go, these people also have their own ideas in their hearts.

But, they still need to wait for the opportunity.

At night, the Ming army began to move, quietly approaching the Wu army camp.

However, they soon encountered an embarrassing scene.

In this kind of terrain, the large-scale operations of the army will inevitably make a lot of noise.

Either hitting a tree, breaking a branch, or hitting a rock down a mountain.

These noises, Wu Jun's sentry heard from a distance, and then immediately set off a signal bomb to warn.
