At about the end of the day, Zheng Guo had already commanded the vanguard to set up a formation opposite the Ming army, and the five thousand foot soldiers put a number of rejection horses in front of the formation, followed by the firecrackers, pikemen, and axe hands, and behind the infantry army, there was his henchman cavalry, who was in a sequence of teams, worthy of being veterans of a hundred battles, and the marching array was not chaotic at all.

Sun Kewang raised the monocular with satisfaction, and saw about 2,000 cavalry on the two wings of the Ming army in the distance, and in the middle of the formation were crowded into a group of foot soldiers, and more than a dozen cannons were faintly visible in the array.

Sun Kewang sneered in his heart, judging from the formation of the foot soldiers on the opposite side, I am afraid that there are many recruits, and when their own artillery begins to roar, these people are afraid that they will be frightened, and they will either flee in a swarm, or be smashed into pulp.

Sun Kewang put away the binoculars, and went down the dirt slope leisurely, he was going to the marching camp tent to rest for a while, this battle didn't need to be watched, there wouldn't be too much suspense.

……

The leader on the opposite side was Li Yuanyin, the Marquis of Nanyang, at this moment, he was sitting on horseback with a stern face, but his heart was like water, quietly waiting for Sun Kewang's attack.

There is calm in every vicious battle, which is one of the reasons why Li Yuanyin can become a famous general.

After receiving the emergency military report, the court was in chaos again, and Emperor Yongli's first reaction was to move the capital.

As a result, he was reprimanded by Qu Shiyun, Li Yuanyin and others.

"Don't do it, Your Majesty, it's hard to settle down, this move to the capital, don't say that it will cause chaos among the people, even the army will be demoralized, and they have no intention of fighting, and the situation will be out of control."

Qu Shiyun lay on the ground and begged bitterly, this situation was not the first time.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the people can't be without a master for a day, and the soldiers can't be without a commander for a day, please Your Majesty stick to the capital, to calm the hearts of the people, and the ministers should fight to the death to resist the enemy, and never let Sun Kewang succeed the traitor."

Li Yuanyin also kowtowed again and again.

"Your Majesty, please hold on."

"Minister, please hold on." Wu Zhenyu and others saw the situation, and they also kowtowed and admonished, and they ran for four years, no matter how strong their hearts were, they were numb to torture, so let's die.

"That's it...... According to what Qing and the others said, it is nothing more than a ...... The king is dead. Yongli shed tears and replied hoarsely, this emperor has done too hard.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much, the ministers have a way to defend the capital,"

Qu Shiyun pondered for a moment and said, "In addition to the thousands of elite forbidden troops, Zhang Tongchang's new army has been trained for more than a month, and Hu Yiqing and Zhao Yinxuan still have more than 10,000 foot soldiers in Kunlun Pass, and the total strength is not less than that of Sun Thief. ”

Qu Shiyun is confident, in addition to the above-mentioned departments, Lin Xiao secretly instructed before leaving, a company of soldiers he left behind, who was only responsible for assisting in the release of grain, in fact, also had the intention of supporting Qu Shiyun, and in case of emergency, he could directly command.

"What Qu Aiqing said is very true," Yongli said weakly, froze slightly, and asked Li Yuanyin, "Li Aiqing...... What do you think? ”

These people in front of him, who are really military generals, are the only ones left, and his opinion must be respected.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, the new army trained by Governor Zhang is not yet mature, and it is not suitable to go into battle, and the Kunlun Pass garrison can't save the near thirst, and the minister asks himself to lead the forbidden army to resist the enemy, and the new army will stay in Xingdu as the last barrier to defend the city."

Li Yuanyin replied in a deep voice, "It's just ...... The minister thought that the ministers alone could only stop the enemy for a few days, and could not ensure that the line was foolproof, if they wanted to completely defeat the Sun thief, they also asked His Majesty to quickly send the Marquis of Qinchuan to come to King Qin, after all, ...... The Wu thief Sangui has also come to Guizhou. ”

"Your Majesty, on the side of Li Dingguo in Yunnan, please also ask Your Majesty to issue another secret decree, asking him to send troops quickly, tail attack Sun Thief, and go north to Zunyi to defend against the enemy."

As soon as he heard Li Yuanyin mention the Qing army's Wu Sangui Division, Qu Shiyun immediately thought of Li Dingguo, according to the latest report, Li Dingguo has trained a total of more than 50,000 people in Kunming, with a total strength of more than 80,000 people, and has also trained a very large-scale elephant soldier, whose strength even exceeds that of Sun Kewang.

He thought that if he simply asked Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang to turn against each other, which caused him to hesitate, now that Sun Kewang has surrendered to the enemy, then he will definitely send troops immediately, after all, Li Dingguo has always been haunted by the death of his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong at the hands of the Qing army, and swore several times that he would not be compatible with the Qing dog.

"Okay, just follow what Qing and the others say, and do it immediately."

Although his heart was in turmoil, Yongli still hoped in his heart that they would be able to turn the tide, and since they couldn't run, they could only do so.

……

Before Li Yuanyin left, Qu Shiyun selected 5,000 slightly more mature recruits in Zhang Tongchang's camp and brought cannons with them, which must be somewhat useful.

In addition, he sent someone to send Lin Xiao's battalion and company commander to ask him if he could draw some soldiers to assist, after all, he and Li Yuanyin have both seen the power of these people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can be a hundred.

Ding Shuai's company commander is named Guo Jingyun, and he is also one of the "piglets" rescued by Lin Xiao from the Dutch.

After receiving the military information, he was suffering from the lack of radio stations at the level, so he had already sent people to the fortified towns to report the news, and then ordered the soldiers of the whole company to reorganize their arms and prepare for war at any time.

Guo Jingyun received Qu Shiyun's request, thought about it for a while, and immediately decided to leave a platoon in case of accidents, and personally took the remaining more than 90 people, including the machine gun squad, to follow Li Yuanyin and quickly drive west.

However, the situation was much worse than everyone expected.

Li Yuanyin and the others rushed all the way, but they were still a step late, and they met their subordinates who retreated from Baise halfway through.

Li Yuanyin immediately made a decision and immediately ordered to occupy Guohua Town, where the dangerous terrain could more or less offset the numerical advantage of some enemy troops.

Because the walls of Guohua Town did not look very strong and could not withstand the bombardment of the enemy's heavy artillery, Li Yuanyin had no choice but to leave 3,000 foot soldiers with artillery to hold on, and he personally led 2,000 elite cavalry to guard the other 2,000 foot soldiers in front of him two miles ahead.

He hoped to rely on the mobility of his cavalry to fight the enemy in the field, so that the enemy would not bombard the city too early, and he knew that no matter how great the sacrifice was, he would hold on until Lin Xiao arrived.

Guo Jingyun had a different opinion, after observing the terrain, he strangely found that this terrain was very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized.

It turns out that there is a very high mountain peak on the left side of this gourd-shaped place, the jungle on the mountain is dense until the foot of the mountain, and the right side is the surging right river, and the two sides are only about four miles apart.

When he turned his head to observe Li Yuanyin's formation, he found that the formation of those foot soldiers was too dense, and when the battle began, the artillery of the two sides was bombarded against each other, and so many people were huddled together, wasn't it in vain?

Guo Jingyun immediately found Li Yuanyin, pointed to the mountain on the left, and proposed to divide 500 foot soldiers, and ambush him in the dense forest on the hillside with his soldiers, and hit him in an ambush when he saw the opportunity.

The monotonous defense is beaten, but it is not the style of Lin Xiao's army.

(Question: Lin Xiao reorganized the troops in Fangcheng Town, what name did the whole army use?) ）
