Both sides are red-eyed, and the armor can protect for a while but not for a lifetime.

From time to time, soldiers from both camps fell, white knives went in and red knives came out, and the scene was very bloody.

Hong Chengchou in the distance watched the fight indifferently, as if it had nothing to do with him.

yes, what does it matter if there are many people who die?

As long as this battle is won, it will be worth it to be able to capture Yongli alive.

This is the only banner of the remnant Ming now, and this banner will really be over if the remnant Ming falls.

Do you still count on that waste King Lu?

From the moment he went to the prison to be crowned, I'm afraid he was already disheartened, right?

It is impossible for such a person to become the new king of the remnants of the Ming.

In addition, support a clan to be the emperor? This is more unreliable than counting on King Lu.

Li Dingguo should be very clear that this is his last chance.

"Command, a little more force."

Hong Chengchou knows very well that now is not the moment to tell the winner. The reason why he wants to strengthen is to give Yongli a sense of oppression and make him busy and make mistakes.

Now that he has laid a net around the entire Changsha City, he doesn't believe that Yongli can escape.

Ao Bai saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

Not to mention that Lao Hong really has two hits.

With this set of arrangements, he can't make it up.

Hu Quancai, Zhou Peigong, and Gao Tianjue were also happy.

Jiang is still old and spicy, Hong Jingluo is worthy of being the first ruthless person in the Qing Dynasty, and he wants to trap the Yongli monarch and ministers here.

...

...

In the Ming army, Zhu Youlang in the Chinese army gradually realized Hong Chengchou's intentions.

Hong Chengchou is deliberately delaying!

At this moment, Li Dingguo suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the East Captives are surrounding our army from all directions!" ”

Zhu Youlang instinctively asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"This minister is not clear, but it should not be less if you look at this posture."

Zhu Youlang's heart sank, and it seemed that Hong Chengchou was fighting this battle as a decisive battle.

The Ming army had as many as 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and if Hong Chengchou's character of seeking stability wanted to encircle the Ming army, it would take at least twice as many troops.

If there were 100,000 people, it would indeed be possible to surround the elk plain!

"Don't panic, line up!"

Zhu Youlang ordered in a deep voice.

In the past two years since he came to the Ming Dynasty, if you want to say that the biggest change to the Ming army is not only the advanced Taixi firearms, but also the formation training.

Zhu Youlang has always believed that advanced firearms and perfect formations are the ultimate body of firearms troops.

This formation is not dead, but changes at any time according to the situation on the battlefield.

At the beginning, Zhu Youlang first implemented it in the Tiger Ben army.

After the Tiger Ben Army became proficient, he promoted it in other Ming army formations.

It was Li Dingguo who immediately understood it after hearing the instructions of the array.

Since the flood thief wants to rush into battle, let him rush it.

The standard-bearers of the Ming army immediately raised the flag, and the army began to change.

Now the war situation is urgent, and the situation on the field is changing rapidly.

The earlier you change formation, the less pressure you will be on when you are impacted.

The Ming army was originally a long snake formation.

Now it has become a fan, and the two wings perfectly protect the Chinese army, no matter which angle the Qing army rushes from, the Ming army can be each other's horns.

Hong Chengchou saw the Ming army changing formations, and called the expert in his heart.

It's one of the most perfect defensive formations of the moment.

But now he is ready to shoot, no matter what formation the Ming army poses, he has to rush!

"Charge the whole army!"

Hong Chengchou ordered without hesitation.

He had waited so long, just for this opportunity.

When he was in Guizhou, he was thinking about why the Qing army had already won eight or nine points of the world, but the last two points just couldn't be won.

At first, he couldn't figure it out, until one day he saw two little children fighting, one was tall and mighty, fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other was thirteen or fourteen years old and thin.

At first, the tall and mighty child took advantage of the bully and cried the skinny child.

But somehow, the crying child suddenly burst out and began to fight desperately, and finally the sadistic fierce child was stunned and screamed at the beating.

At that moment, Hong Chengchou understood.

Anyone facing an absolute predicament will burst out with a power far beyond his ordinary.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes.

The same is naturally true of the Ming army.

They have been cornered, and if they lose again, there is no chance of survival.

At this time, they naturally fought hard and did not hesitate to lose their lives.

The Qing army is different, the richest places in the world are now in the hands of the Qing army.

The territory of the Qing army is also several times that of the Ming army.

Therefore, the Qing army has the capital to lose, and it is not afraid of losing.

What's even more terrifying is that those feudal officials who defend one side know that it is the time for the imperial court to employ people, and even if the imperial court is defeated, they will be guilty and meritorious.

So they were conservative in the battle with the Ming army and did not do their best.

One of the representatives is Hu Quancai.

Hu Quancai must have felt that there was no need to risk his life to defend Wuchang, so he chose to run away for his life.

If the imperial court sets a precedent like the Chongzhen Dynasty, it will be beheaded if it loses its land.

Then Hu Quancai will definitely fight until the last moment.

In the final analysis, Emperor Shunzhi was too hesitant and weak.

At this point, Chongzhen is still better than Shunzhi.

Seeing through the essence of the problem, Hong Chengchou can naturally understand why the Qing army has been losing, and the Ming army has been winning.

If he wants to stop this momentum, what Hong Chengchou has to do is to cut through the chaos quickly and make the Ming army defeat as much as possible.

All it takes is a crushing defeat to interrupt the winning streak.

As long as this breath is vented, it will be difficult to gather it again.

Hong Chengchou knew that it was unrealistic to expect a mediocre person like Hu Quancai, so he persuaded Ao Bai to send the main force to come to Changsha with him to chase and intercept Yongli.

This battle was a decisive battle for the Ming army and could not be lost.

But this is not necessarily the case for the Qing army, even if the Qing army loses, there are still infinite possibilities, and it can still rely on the strong financial resources in the south to train more troops to counterattack.

So Hong Chengchou did not hesitate to gamble.

If he wins the bet, he will be a famous minister in history, and if he loses the bet, it is a big deal to start from scratch.

For him, it's a steady.

The reason why the ambush point was chosen in Elk Plains was because this place was on high ground, and the Qing army could surround the Ming army.

It's like a noose around your neck, slowly tightening and slowly strangled.

It may not be immediately fatal, but the feeling of torture is something that Hong Chengchou enjoys.

And in Hong Chengchou's view, it is very difficult for the Ming army to break through under this kind of terrain, he can completely rely on human lives to fill it, anyway, his army is twice as large as the Ming army, even if he loses some battle losses, it doesn't matter. As long as you can capture Yongli, it will be worth the price.

Kill, kill.

Kill all the Ming troops here, and let the people of the world see the end of the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty.
