The Ming army's tunnel excavation speed is very fast, which is naturally related to practice makes perfect, after all, the Ming army has dug tunnels more than once.

But more importantly, Zhu Youlang joined the engineer class in the Ming army.

For a long time, the sapper did not exist alone in ancient China, but Zhu Youlang felt the need to add this branch of the army.

For example, digging tunnels, trenches, breastworks and other fortifications require professionals to do it.

Of course, ordinary soldiers can also do it, but it will be much less effective.

Professional people do professional things, which has always been Zhu Youlang's belief.

Sappers play only this one role in the war, and their efficiency is naturally extremely high.

The Qing army at the head of the city saw that the Ming army began to dig tunnels, and they were naturally horrified.

They had long heard Hong Jingluo say that the real purpose of the Ming army to dig tunnels was that the Ming army was not to transport soldiers into the city, but to blow up the city walls!

This sinister and vulgar intention is really terrible.

The most important thing they should do now is to send troops out of the city to destroy the entrance to the cave and prevent the Ming army from digging further.

But who will come and go?

The Qing soldiers looked at each other, and no one wanted to be this unlucky ghost.

And there is a more serious problem, that is, if the soldiers sent out are too small, it is difficult to pose a threat to the Ming army.

The Ming army only needs to send a partial division to be able to easily defuse it.

And if the city is poured out, what if the Ming army directly attacks the city?

It's a dilemma.

Just as the guarded city Qing general's worried eyebrows were twisted together, suddenly the soldiers shouted excitedly: "Look, general, reinforcements are coming!" ”

The Qing general looked in the direction, and sure enough, he saw a large army rushing towards Yichun City.

The banner they raised was precisely the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty!

"Great, that's great!"

The Qing general wept with joy.

Looking at this black and oppressive crowd, there are at least more than 10,000 Qing troops who came to help.

An army of this size was enough to inflict an impact on the Ming army.

In this way, the Ming army could not calmly dig tunnels.

The army in the city can even go out of the city to flank the attack, depending on the situation.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically, from unfavorable to the Qing army.

"Beat the drums!"

For a time, the drums in the city were loud, and the sound of killing was bursting.

...

...

The Qing army that came to the aid was none other than the descendants of Shang Zhixin's own soldiers.

Although he was very reluctant, his father's order was difficult to disobey, and he could only lead his troops to go.

It's just that Shang Zhixin didn't expect him to be late.

By the time he came to Yichun City, the Ming army had already arrived in advance.

It's a little awkward.

Even if Shang Zhixin doesn't want to fight, he can't do it.

"His Royal Highness, what now?"

The pro-soldier asked this question, which made Shang Zhixin want to scold his mother.

"It's a fool, it's naturally a charge. Attack the right flank of the thief first, and try to open the gap. ”

In this case, even if Shang Zhixin does not fight the Ming army, the Ming army will come to fight him.

Therefore, it is better to take the lead and take the lead.

Shang Zhixin gave an order, and all the soldiers of this family were killed.

They were all cavalry, so they were very powerful.

The right flank of the Ming army was mainly Li Dingguo's troops, and when they saw this, they lined up to meet the enemy.

The right wing army is mainly infantry, which is also a matter of no way, the Ming army lacks war horses, and the only war horses are equipped with the Chinese army.

Guards such as the left flank and the right flank are naturally dominated by infantry.

But this did not make them less combative.

On the contrary, the infantry was one of the great weapons of the Ming army.

Especially when facing cavalry, heavy infantry is the best way to refrain from it.

The heavy infantry formation founded by Li Dingguo imitated the Mo Dao Formation of the Tang Dynasty, although it was not so powerful, but it could also have seven or eight points of its combat power.

"Your Majesty, this should be the Shang family's descendant army."

Seeing that the menacing Qing soldiers not only waved the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also had a Shang character, Li Dingguo made an assertion.

"I just don't know if it's Shang Kexi or Shang Zhixin."

"King Jin seems to know a lot about the Shang family?"

Zhu Youlang asked with interest.

"Your Majesty, although this Shang family surrendered a little later than Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, it has won the trust of the captive court. At the beginning, Kong Youde was killed, Geng Zhongming committed suicide, and there was only one Shang Kexi left except Wu Sangui. Yu Ting also did not hesitate to reward the fertile land of Guangdong to Shang Kexi. It is enough to see that this person is very good at flattering, and this is why there will be today. ”

"Then how strong is this person in leading troops into battle?"

Zhu Youlang asked.

In his impression, Shang Kexi is still very powerful. And this man never rebelled. Even during the rebellion of the three feudatories, it was his son Shang Zhixin who responded with troops.

At that time, Shang Kexi should have been under house arrest and lost his personal freedom.

"It's a little weaker than Kong Youde, but it's definitely stronger than the ordinary Green Camp general."

Li Dingguo gave a very pertinent evaluation.

Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "In this way, there will be a lesson from King Lao Jin." ”

"Obey the order!"

Li Dingguo clenched his fists and said.

Whether it is Shang Kexi or Shang Zhixin, Li Dingguo doesn't pay attention to it.

There is a way that thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and no matter how strong the Shang family army is, no tiger general is blind if there is no commander.

What's more, Li Dingguo did not think that the Shang family army was stronger than his descendant army.

Li Dingguo came to the right flank and commanded the crowd to meet the enemy.

At this moment, Shang Zhixin had already led his troops to a position more than 100 steps away from the Ming army's position.

"Raise your sword!"

The knives used by the heavy infantry of the Ming army are all specially made, weighing more than 40 catties, and they must be lifted and waved by powerful warriors.

They were fully armoured and armed to the teeth.

Seeing the Qing soldiers roaring and rushing, the heavy infantry of the Ming army did not have the slightest fear, they raised their swords and were ready to slash at the rushing Qing soldiers at any time.

One hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps...

When the cavalry of the Qing army rushed to the Ming army, Li Dingguo burst out: "Enter!" ”

The heavy infantry of the Ming army waved their big swords in their hands and slashed them down.

This knife went down, and the end was cut into two pieces with people and horses.

Since the Qing army was not a heavy cavalry but a light cavalry, the protection of both soldiers and horses was not very good.

Therefore, the heavy infantry of the Ming army exerted its power to the maximum.

The Shang family army had never seen such ferocious infantry, and this broadsword was like the teeth of Lord Yama, as if they had seen one after another evil ghosts open their bloody mouths and bite at them.

"Ahh

The soldiers of the Shang Family Army instinctively let out a wail.

Shang Zhixin was also stupid.

What does that mean? How can the thief still have this hand.

Of course, he didn't think of the Mo Dao Formation, he only felt that the Ming infantry was very restrained by him.

"Your Highness, what now?"

The pro-soldier asked Shang Zhixin helplessly.

This dog thing, ask me everything, how do I know.

Shang Zhixin cursed in his heart, and then said: "Try to withdraw and regroup!" ”
