Chen Qiyu gathered 30,000 troops that day and rushed to Ningguo's mansion to prepare to meet Li Dingguo in person. As a general, it is rare to meet such a master, and Chen Qiyu at this moment is also stimulated to be bloody.

Ningguofu was only a small city in Nanjing, and after Li Dingguo quickly defeated it, he no longer expanded, but turned to internal defenses, apparently preparing for a protracted war with the Dongjiang army here.

His 50,000 soldiers and horses were distributed in three places, and they did not echo each other, and they were completely prepared. At this moment, Li Dingguo was leading his subordinates to inspect and came to the city wall of Ning Guofu, when he saw a spy rushing over.

"General, we have found a large number of Dongjiang troops coming towards us in the southeast, and it is estimated that they will arrive in an hour." The spy knelt on one leg and reported to Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is definitely tall at one meter eight, especially in this army. Coupled with the armor he was wearing, he looked mighty, with a sword at his waist, and a bright red cloak fluttering lightly in the wind, eye-catching.

This attack on Nanjing was for him to prove his ability to Chongzhen, and it was also the primary condition for marrying Princess Changping. Only by taking Nanjing and dedicating it to Chongzhen can his later requirements be realized. Therefore, Li Dingguo said that he couldn't lose anything this time, otherwise he would not gain anything in the end.

"Is the Dongjiang Army finally coming in a big way? Well, that's good! When Li Dingguo learned of the arrival of the Dongjiang Army, he was not shocked but showed a happy look.

After muttering, Li Dingguo confronted the spy: "Pass the order, and prepare for battle." ”

"Yes, General!" The spy did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly retreated after responding loudly.

On the city of Ningguofu, Li Dingguo's army has long been in strict formation, the military appearance is rigorous, the discipline is strict, although the armor and weapons of the soldiers are not unified, but they are all good weapons. It is by no means the same as those peasant armies in the past, what farm tools, wooden sticks can be compared!

These 50,000 soldiers and horses are Li Dingguo's current family background, and they are also the result of his struggle in the past few years. Among the many forces in the south, he did not have many soldiers and horses, but he was strong, so those who knew him easily did not dare to be hostile to Li Dingguo.

The wealth of the Dongjiang Army was something Li Dingguo had not expected, and his gains from the capture of Huizhou, Hangzhou, and this small Ningguo Mansion were almost as good as the sum of his previous sneak attacks on other forces. Even more than some, which made Li Dingguo even more determined to take down Nanjing, as long as he won this Nanjing, there would inevitably be more gains.

With enough money, food and weapons, his soldiers and horses can be expanded faster, and then he will be able to fear the Dongjiang army. With his ability, Li Dingguo is confident that he will never lose to anyone in the Dongjiang Army, including Mao Wenlong, who was rumored to be extremely powerful.

In Li Dingguo's sight, billowing smoke and dust soon appeared, and the overwhelming smoke and dust swept through the city of Ningguo's mansion, and the momentum was not small.

In the sound of horses' hooves, Chen Qiyu led 30,000 soldiers and horses to stop advancing three miles away from Ningguofu City. The Dongjiang Army soon set up a battle formation, directly covering the east and west cities of Ningguofu City.

The smoke and dust were quickly blown away by the strong wind, and Chen Qiyu's vision became clear, and he raised the telescope in his hand to carefully watch the situation in the city of Ning Guofu. I saw that the enemy soldiers were already ready for battle, but I did not see any panic or cowardice on the part of the enemy.

This is a rare situation for Chen Qiyu, since the Dongjiang Army has made a name for itself in the north, whenever he sees a Dongjiang Army appear, any enemy army will feel frightened from the heart. And it is indeed very rare for an enemy army to behave so calmly like this.

Putting down the binoculars, Chen Qiyu didn't think too much, he immediately sent someone to the front of the city to shout and shout.

The unexpected situation happened at this time, and the people sent out by Chen Qiyu to shout had not yet arrived in the city. I saw that the east gate of the city suddenly opened, and a team of more than 2,000 cavalry suddenly rushed out.

The leader was Li Dingguo himself, who rode a high-headed horse under his crotch, and led two thousand troops majestically to a place a stone's throw away from Chen Qiyu before he stopped his horse.

"Lao Tzu thought it was a rat who came to die, it turned out to be Lao Tzu's defeated general Chen Qiyu, hahaha......" Li Dingguo laughed arrogantly, and his tone was full of disdain.

As soon as Chen Qiyu appeared, Li Dingguo noticed him immediately, and he didn't recognize Chen Qiyu at first. After all, the two of them had only fought once before, and at that time, Li Dingguo was after the defeated Zhang Xianzhong was broken. Although he could have the opportunity to kill Chen Qiyu, he didn't dare to fight, so he could only miss it helplessly.

At this time, I didn't expect that the first person to come to fight against him was the former defeated general Chen Qiyu, and Li Dingguo was even more determined now, and there was nothing to worry about.

Li Dingguo's arrogant voice fell into Chen Qiyu's ears and became extremely harsh, but Li Dingguo called out his name. Chen Qiyu looked at Li Dingguo, who was extraordinary, in front of him in surprise.

After looking at it for a long time, Chen Qiyu finally failed to recognize who the young man in front of him was, frowned, and Chen Qiyu simply spoke directly: "He Fang's rat generation is here to speak wildly, quickly report his name, this general will not kill the nameless soul under the sword." ”

Li Dingguo's eyes were full of disdain, but he did not hide his name, and said bluntly: "Listen, your grandfather is Li Dingguo." ”

"Li Dingguo......" Chen Qiyu muttered, falling into deep thought.

After a while, he suddenly came over, and Chen Qiyu remembered that he had fought against Li Dingguo. Although it was not a formal battle, he could also feel Li Dingguo's power at that time.

"You are Li Dingguo?" Chen Qiyu actually didn't know that there was such a person as Li Dingguo, he just reflexively asked more.

"Your grandfather is Li Dingguo, how is it? Does Chen Qiyu remember that his grandfather is here? Li Dingguo is still extremely arrogant.

Chen Qiyu frowned, he spoke in a good voice, but he was humiliated again and again by the other party. No matter how Chen Qiyu said it, he was also the general of the Dongjiang Army, how could he allow Li Dingguo to be so rude, he immediately shouted violently, and slammed the war horse between his legs.

The tall war horse seemed to have human nature, and I saw the front legs of the war horse raised high, and then rushed out with all its might, and among the four hooves flying, it had already rushed towards Li Dingguo, who was still arrogant.

"Ding!"

Chen Qiyu was annoyed in his heart, he was humiliated by Li Dingguo so rudely at the beginning, he was so angry that he began to rush out desperately, the saber on his waist came out of the sheath, let out a dragon groan, and then swept out, lazily slashing at Li Dingguo's chest.

"Hahaha...... Well done! Li Dingguo was overjoyed, and in the midst of wild laughter, he showed his spear and urged the war horse to contemptuously meet Chen Qiyu.
