Kong Zhenhui nodded again and again, to be honest, this time Ding Qirui forced him to lead the troops from Chuzhou, he was in his heart all the way up and down, after meeting with Wan Yuanji, he learned that they were going to be stationed in the Tuanshan area, which was somewhat relieved, he was a prison army, a civil official, so many fierce generals of the imperial court were planted in the hands of the Xingtian Army, and he Kong Zhenhui did not think that he was born with three heads and six arms, and he could rely on his Chuzhou men and horses to kill the Xingtian thieves in Fengyang Mansion.

Now after looking at the strong Xingtian thief with thousands of soldiers, he knew that what he expected was good, just with the few men and horses brought by his subordinates, it was not enough for people to stuff their teeth, but fortunately, Wan Yuan Ji and Huang Degong were mainly based on the camp and had no intention of fighting, which made Kong Zhenhui feel a little more at ease.

And at this time, Huang Degong, as the main general, has arrived in the front camp to sit in the dispatch, looking at a team of Xingtian Army arrayed outside the camp, Huang Degong is also mentally nervous to the extreme, he Huang Degong asked himself if he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, timid as a mouse, so many years, for the sake of the imperial court, he has killed the Tartars in the north, and has also fought to the death with all kinds of wandering people, but he has never been so aggrieved as he met the Xingtian Army, and he has lost one after another, and now he has made him feel that his head is as big as a fight as long as he hears the name of the Xingtian Army.

This time, Huang Degong was full of anger, and he wanted to go out and lead his troops out to fight to the death, but thinking about it, it was just the courage of a horseman, and basically there was no chance of winning at all, so he wanted to think about it, but he still had to face reality.

Huang Degong now knows very well that with these soldiers and horses under his command, if he goes to war, what the result will be, among the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, there are only about a few thousand, and the numerical advantage cannot be transformed into an advantage in combat power at all, not to mention that the enemy army came with nearly 30,000 horses this time, even if they come with 10,000 horses, their 40,000 officers and troops may not be able to defeat the thief army in the field, you must know that this thief army has created a miracle of defeating the 20,000 horses of the Guanning army with 2,000 men and horses in Jingfu, Looking at this battle horizontally and vertically, there is no chance of winning a head-to-head confrontation with the Xingtian Army.

Although Huang Degong is a rough man, he is also a person who is thick and fine, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally feels that it is more certain to defend against the mountains, after all, the soldiers on the side of the officers and soldiers are not well trained, and they are likely to be defeated in a battle when they go out to fight in the field, but if they stick to the battalion, the officers and soldiers can still exert some combat effectiveness, and at least they can resist it.

Therefore, after the army arrived at Tuanshan, he took a fancy to the terrain here, built the camp according to the mountain, formed a ladder arrangement, and each other can not only independently resist the enemy, but also support each other, and at the same time can also send elite soldiers out of the camp to counterattack, once the army stopped, Huang Degong led the generals to urge the officers and soldiers day and night to rush to build all kinds of camp fences, horses, deer and other things, and imitate the practice of the Xingtian army, digging trenches inside and outside the wall, taking soil to build a low wall, as a thing to guard.

Don't look at it, only a few days, Huang Degong led the official army to turn Tuanshan into a fortress full of ravines, and built a fairly complete set of defense.

But these things that Huang Degong did did not attract enough attention from Xiao Tianjian and his subordinates, and the weakness of the official army for a long time had already caused the Xingtian army to despise the officials and soldiers, so this time Xiao Tianjian gathered so many soldiers and horses to come here to deal with the officers and soldiers with similar troops, and the whole army showed a mood of contempt for the enemy.

Luo Li is one of the representative figures, after the battle was approved, he immediately led the people of the headquarters to go out to the official army camp to scold the battle, Luo Li even galloped back and forth outside the gate of the official army front camp, pointing Huang Degong's name and asking him to come out to fight.

Huang Degong's face was pale and he sat in the front camp, ordered the officers and soldiers under his command not to make noise, set up the artillery, and transported boxes and boxes of bees to the edge of the camp.

Luo Li scolded for a while, and saw that the officers and soldiers were like dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water, so they ignored him, and felt quite bored, so he turned around and ordered to prepare for a strong attack.

So the Xingtian army immediately pushed out the cannon and erected it outside the official army camp, and the gunners were busy around the cannon one by one, loading it at a rapid speed, and each began to select the target to aim.

With the order, the artillery array of the Xingtian Army began to spew out flames, and the smoke of gunpowder rising from the muzzle of the cannon soon covered the artillery array, and the hot shells whistled and fell into the official army camp.

Huang Degong was wearing heavy armor, striding around the camp with his usual two iron whips, ignoring the shells of the Xingtian Army that kept falling in the camp, shouting and scolding the panicked officers and soldiers in the camp, when he saw a few officers and soldiers in a panic, turned around and fled from the hiding place, and when he was running around in the camp, he was even more angry and waved his double whips, and mercilessly killed these routs who were screaming and scurrying in the camp on the spot.

"Those who dare to make noise will be killed!" Huang Shengqiang shouted in the camp, and after that, he whipped a general who had left the position without permission until his brain burst and died on the spot.

At this time, the officers and soldiers were frightened, in the eyes of the soldiers, they were already a big official, but they were slaughtered casually by Huang Degong like a dog, so the officers and soldiers who originally wanted to escape from the position were so frightened that they had to return to their respective positions one after another, squatting under the pass wall or the wooden fence, and they didn't even dare to show their heads, so they could only tremble and let the shells of the Xingtian Army whistle above their heads.

On the one hand, he ordered the Nanjing Military War Bureau to cast a large number of artillery and distribute them to the armies, on the other hand, he spent a lot of money from Quanzhou, Macao and Guangzhou in Fujian, and hired some foreigners to teach the experience of artillery in the armies. to help Ding Qirui defend Nan Zhili.

Therefore, in the past year or so, although the quality of weapons and equipment has not been good, the number of artillery has increased a lot, at least there are a few Hongyi cannons in Huang Degong's army, and dozens of other cannons.

However, after Huang Degong fired the artillery of the Xingtian Army, he ordered that no gunner should fire back without authorization, because he knew very well that now he was fighting with the Xingtian Army, they were still at a disadvantage, and the artillery battle would definitely not take advantage of the slightest advantage.

The tactics of the Xingtian Army over the years have undoubtedly affected the generals of the official army, so that they have to reconsider how to fight with the Xingtian Army, before the establishment of the Xingtian Army's method of governing the army, they can only think of other ways to deal with the Xingtian Army as much as possible, and Huang Degong, Xiao Tianjian's old subordinate defeat, is undoubtedly one of the leaders, and he has learned a lot from repeated defeats.

So under the artillery fire of the Xingtian Army, although the official camp was full of earth, rocks, broken trees, and flying wildly, but under the pressure of Huang Degong's vigorous bombing, the officers and soldiers did not collapse in a panic as usual, and Huang Degong swaggered around in the camp under the fire of the Xingtian Army, which undoubtedly made the officers and soldiers feel a lot more at ease, as the saying goes, a soldier is a bear, and a nest of bears, Huang Degong's composure undoubtedly also affected the soldiers and generals under his command, so the officers and soldiers gradually stabilized from the initial panic.

Because Huang Degong built a lot of pass walls and trenches in advance, most of the officers and soldiers hid behind the pass wall, and the thick pass wall greatly absorbed the kinetic energy of the artillery shells of the Xingtian Army, making it difficult for the shells to form ricochet kills after they landed, and they were blocked by the earthen walls, so it looked very lively, and also destroyed some pass walls and camp gates, but in essence, the killing and wounding of the officers and soldiers in the camp was not very large, and the officers and soldiers hiding behind the pass wall were more relieved when they saw this situation, lying in the pass walls and trenches. Saying that they don't show their heads, unless they are unlucky enough to be hit directly by a shell, otherwise, solid bullets really don't have much to do for them.

Luo Li made an empirical mistake this time, after seeing the artillery battalion firing, the official army camp was flying with gray stones, and he firmly thought that the official army had been frightened, for Huang Degong, a defeated general, he didn't look down on it at all, after a burst of shelling, he immediately raised the big iron gun and shouted: "Rush with me!" Break through the official army camp and show the brothers behind us how powerful we are! Kill! ”

Behind Luo Li, a tsunami-like shouting and killing sound immediately sounded, and thousands of Heavenly Punishment Army generals immediately followed Luo Li, raised their shields and roared towards the official army camp.

Listening to the shouts and kills of the Heavenly Army outside the camp, many officers and soldiers hid under the pass wall and trembled with fright, their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of fear, if it weren't for Huang Degong, the main general, who was pressed in the camp, maybe there would be many officers and soldiers who would have lost their guys and fled to the camp at this time, but these officers and soldiers did not dare to escape, and if they escaped, it would be a death, so they could only squat nervously under the pass wall, waiting for the orders of the generals.
