Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the starting point 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Reinforcements are coming.

The war went on to this extent, the Ming army was left less than 20,000 people, and the thief army only had more than 70,000 left, both sides were defeated, and the reinforcements that arrived were undoubtedly a force that could completely change the battlefield.

On a high ground to the east of the battlefield, hundreds of field artillery guns of the reinforcements were condescendingly shelling there.

"Boom Boom"

Wherever there is a dense concentration of thieves and soldiers, all of them are shelled!

"Reinforcements from the Ming army!" Seeing that victory was about to be achieved, but they were shelled so fiercely, and seeing countless Ming reinforcements coming here, the morale of the thieves and soldiers was instantly knocked to the bottom, and their eyes were full of fear.

"How is that possible!" Zhang Xianzhong, who had been watching the battle on the city wall of Chengdu, sat on the ground and roared in disbelief: "No! This is impossible, how could the reinforcements of the Ming army come so quickly! ”

How dare Zhang Xianzhong believe that it was only a few days before Lizhou City was captured, and the news only reached Nanjing City at most, even if the Ming Dynasty sent reinforcements, shouldn't it take at least ten days and half a month to arrive, why did the Ming army reinforcements come so soon! There is also Lizhou City, isn't Lizhou City easy to defend and difficult to attack, he has not been able to capture the Great Western Kingdom for almost ten years, even if Li Dingguo of Lizhou City only left 8,000 people to garrison, at least it should be able to hold out for a few days!

The more Zhang Xianzhong thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and his face distorted.

No matter how you think about it, he thinks it's impossible, unless! Li Dingguo has long colluded with the Ming army!

"Shaft An dare to do this!" Zhang Xianzhong roared.

Although Zhang Xianzhong didn't want to believe that Li Dingguo betrayed him, and knew that it was even more impossible than the Ming army arriving so quickly, but he couldn't think of a reason, but he must come up with a reason to convince himself, Li Dingguo is undoubtedly the best excuse.

"Can't! Our great western kingdom must not be defeated! Zhang Xianzhong's face was hideous, full of madness: "Come on, pass the order, divide the troops to resist the reinforcements of the Ming army, and go all out to encircle and annihilate Qin Liangyu and others!" ”

"In addition, if you give another order, all the soldiers, who dare to take a step back from the battle, will be connected to the nine clans!"

Zhang Xianzhong was crazy, he actually gave such an order to his soldiers, took a step back and connected the nine clans, it was too strict, and he was not afraid of chilling the hearts of his soldiers.

In fact, this is also in line with Zhang Xianzhong's temperament, he even used the lives of the people of Chengdu to force more than 60,000 strong men in Chengdu to die, and giving such an order is a trivial matter.

As soon as the order was handed down, the faces of the soldiers of the Great Western Army turned pale again, and the horror in their eyes was even worse, and they had no doubt that Zhang Xianzhong could really do it.

Luo Rucai also couldn't believe the arrival of the Ming army reinforcements, but after receiving Zhang Xianzhong's order, he still did not hesitate to order 20,000 horses to intercept the Ming army reinforcements.

20,000 thieves broke away from the brigade and met the Ming reinforcements under the leadership of a thief general.

In this way, there were only about 50,000 thieves left who besieged Qin Liangyu and Zhou Cao's nearly 20,000 remnants of the Ming army, of which more than 4,000 Qing troops were inlaid with red flags and iron horses.

"The Fifth Army of the Ying Long Army!" Tuo Yue stared at a banner of the Ming army reinforcements, as the Ming army reinforcements got closer and closer, he could already vaguely see the Ming army reinforcements' five-clawed golden dragon flag embroidered with the fifth word on the right corner, which was the Ming Emperor's pro-army, the logo of the Ying Dragon Army!

Tuo Yue's face was changeable, and the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army disrupted his plans.

Originally, he planned to help Zhang Xianzhong defeat the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops besieging Chengdu, greatly increase Zhang Xianzhong's prestige, and let Zhang Xianzhong completely control Sichuan, and then fight to the death with the Ming army, so as to buy time for the establishment of the Qing Yinglong Army.

However, the plan always can't catch up with the changes, the Ming army reinforcements are too fast, since the Ming army reinforcements have arrived, it means that Lizhou City must have been recovered by the Ming army, lost Lizhou City, and Qin Liangyu and other Ming troops were defeated, Tuo Yue came to a conclusion that he was unwilling to admit, Zhang Xianzhong was finished!

Tuo Yue gritted his teeth, and after his face changed a few more times, he immediately stopped hesitating and made the most sensible decision for him.

"Order, withdraw troops!" Tuo Yue's tone was extremely unwilling.

"Woo woo woo" A soldier of the Qing army with a red flag picked up the horn hanging behind the horse's buttocks and blew it towards the special withdrawal horn of the Qing army.

More than 4,000 remnants of the Qing army with red flags and iron cavalry began to follow Tuoyue to quickly withdraw from the battlefield and run towards the distance!

"Toyue Belle, what are you waiting for, you can't leave!" Luo Rucai shouted eagerly.

It's a pity that Tuoyue didn't pay attention to it at all, and quickly retreated with more than 4,000 red flags, and soon became a distant figure and went away!

The children of the Eight Banners are so precious, they have lost nearly eight thousand since they entered Sichuan, and the vitality of the eight months of the Qing Dynasty has been consumed like this, since Zhang Xianzhong cannot be saved, he can't lose the children of the Eight Banners for Zhang Xianzhong.

"Tuoyue, you son of a bitch, one day Lao Tzu will pick your skin!" On the city wall of Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong roared madly, his hideous face, and his bloodshot eyes were all full of madness, like a crazy beast, and he wanted to be bloodthirsty.

The departure of Tuo Yue and other Qing army iron cavalry undoubtedly made the morale of the Ming army, which had become extremely low due to the sudden arrival of the Ming army's reinforcements, and if it were not for the fear of Zhang Xianzhong's strict orders, they would probably collapse and scatter immediately.

No matter how angry and crazy Zhang Xianzhong is, he can't change the fact that Tuoyue left with the Qing army's iron horse.

Although Tuoyue and other Qing army iron cavalry retreated, the war continued, and Zhang Xianzhong was still unwilling to lose and made a final fight.

The 20,000 thieves also collided with the Ming reinforcements who rushed to kill at this time, and the result was beyond doubt.

You must know that since the assembly of 100 field cannons, the combat effectiveness of one army of the Ying Long Army is almost not weaker than that of the 200,000 ordinary army, and with the addition of Han Hu, the 5,000 soldiers of the Ying Long Army who originally belonged to the Second Army, this is equivalent to a reinforcement of 250,000 troops, and only 20,000 thieves are coming up, which is no different from an egg hitting a stone.

"Fire!"

"Bang Bang Bang"

As the thieves came within range of the flintlock muskets, the soldiers of the Fifth Army opened fire in a dense manner.

All of a sudden, countless thief soldiers were killed, and their corpses fell to the ground in pieces, dyeing the original bloodless soil red and turning it into another Shura site.

"Kill!"

Han Hu led the 5,000 Yinglong Army soldiers from his headquarters to form another military formation, and he also kept firing, making a bloody path among the thief army, believing that it would not be long before he could chisel through the 20,000 thief army.

The 20,000 soldiers of the thief army were defeated, and they were only forcibly supported by Zhang Xianzhong's order to take a step back and the nine clans did not scatter and flee.

The offensive of the Fifth Army and Han Hu was extremely fierce, and in just a moment and a half, more than half of the 20,000 thieves suffered casualties.

Finally, a thief soldier finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, forgot Zhang Xianzhong's strict order for a while, shouted, and turned to run.

With someone taking the lead, it spreads like a plague here.

The remnants of the thousands of thief soldiers who resisted the reinforcements of the Ming army all collapsed and fled in all directions!
