After finishing the first battle, he solved the Huaxia Army, an army that broke through to Huguang, which was the meaning of Aobai, so he did not have the patience to pursue a fleeing army, it was too difficult.

With full expectation and determination once and for all, Ao Bai waited for another week, but what he was waiting for was the bad news that Guilin Mansion was surrounded and in danger.

Ao Bai knew that there was no chance, and if he didn't start fighting, then the Huaxia army would get stronger and stronger.

After all, the side of Huguang is Jiangxi Prefecture, the enemy's lair, the enemy's troops are pouring into the south of Huguang in a steady stream, if you don't start fighting, the enemy's strength will only get stronger and stronger.

Ao Bai hurriedly dispatched 10,000 elite soldiers from the rear, gathered 80,000 elite soldiers, 15,000 auxiliary soldiers, and even 10,000 people were sent to the city wall to defend, and then went out with 95,000 elite soldiers.

He was greeted by Merlinyu's 21st Field Brigade and Zhu Ge's 20th Field Brigade, both of which were strengthened and super-powerful large field brigades with 16,000 troops.

Of course, there is also Xiao Fei with 8,000 cavalry.

Zhang Qiang defended the city with 4,000 cavalry of the Guards Brigade, and the remaining Guards Brigade New Army Musketeers and Artillery Brigades were strengthened by Zhang Qiang to Wang Yuqun's 19th Field Brigade, as well as Tong Dawei's 5th Cavalry Brigade, which had only 4,000 cavalry.

Zhang Qiang didn't have to go to the battlefield in person, because he had a war eagle to look down on the battlefield, and the movement within a radius of fifty miles above the battlefield could not escape the detection of the war eagle.

Because of the war, the flintlock pistols of the Chinese army have not been fully equipped with all the field brigades, and the field brigade equipment is from the central troops, starting with the three guards brigades, and due to the limitation of production capacity, and because François and Sebastian often have new ideas, even the three guards brigades are mostly equipped with smoothbore flintlock guns, only the 1st Guards Brigade is equipped with rifled flintlock pistols, and some rifled flintlock pistols are only equipped with a battalion of the elite of the first five field brigades, as well as the general's dragoon guards, So today's 19th to 21st field brigades, which are at the bottom of the rankings, still have Jingai-2 arquebuses in their hands.

This arquebus is much more advanced than the Jin Gai 1 arquebus, the weight is lighter, the bayonet is better, the range is longer, the power is greater, and the rate of fire is faster.

And those grassroots officers on the battlefield are no longer the first batch of professional officer elites trained by Zhang Qiang at the beginning, most of these are the second batch of elite soldiers trained by professional officers, and the third batch of recruits who have experienced the test of war.

The soldiers trained by the old batch of Zhang Qiang have been discharged due to injuries, or promoted, or transferred to senior commanders of other units, the lowest is also a general, most of them are in the three brigades of the Guards Brigade, the most elite of the Guards Brigade is the First Guards Brigade, followed by the Second Guards Brigade, the Third Guards Brigade, and the Guards Brigade are all units composed of elite soldiers and excellent officers from other field brigades, so it is a damage to the field brigade below that there are not enough officers and elite soldiers.

But Zhang Qiang has no choice, there is a lack of civilian officials, especially those who can take charge on their own, and there are too few senior civilian officials who can understand Zhang Qiang's new policies that are different from those of this era.

Although more and more civilian officials who have been trained have taken office, it is still a drop in the bucket for the increasingly huge territory of the Huaxia Army, and many places have to be equipped with a low-level civilian official to assist those scholars of the Ming Dynasty to manage the localities.

This is also the reason why Zhang Qiang is not in a hurry to expand his territory, if the territory he occupies is still as chaotic as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the people are not happy, he would rather not, because it will definitely be a headache to deal with in the future.

The 19th Field Brigade was formed early, and it was okay, so he handed over the arquebusiers of his Guards Brigade to them, and the cooperation was still very good.

The twentieth and twenty-first field brigades were previously stationed in Ningbo Mansion, Shaoxing Mansion, and even Baozhong Mansion on Treasure Island, and had not experienced much fighting, so Zhang Qiang dispatched Xiao Fei over and asked him to command these two armies, helping Zhu Ge, who had only served as Brigade Commander Fu before, but had not really commanded arquebusiers, and Merlin Fish, who had previously served as his own personal guard in the Guards Brigade, both of which were cavalry officers, and letting them command the field brigade was also training them.

Fortunately, this unit of the Qing army is only a cold weapon unit, and there are a few new arms troops, but Zhang Qiang is sure that a guy like Ao Bai, who thinks that the Qing army is powerful, will definitely not use the new army well, so sending two and a half bottle infantry commanders to command two field brigade infantry is nothing in Zhang Qiang's opinion.

The warhawk soared in the sky, looking down on the battlefield.

The troops on both sides are constantly approaching, the Qing army is unscrupulous, maybe they have not really suffered the loss of the firearms of the Huaxia army, this time they will teach them a good lesson.

It was at this time that Zhang Qiang received the battle situation in Guilin Mansion.

Three days ago, Li Dingguo attacked frantically, artillery bombardment, arquebus pressing, the soldiers behind him did not want to hit the gap in the enemy's collapsed city wall, the Qing army fell into a bitter battle, even if their strength was still because they were on the defensive side, occupying some advantages, but they faced Li Dingguo, who had just learned how to fight the war in the era of firearms, but they were beaten bitterly.

Yesterday, the city was broken, Mang Gurtai disappeared, Kong Youde's family committed suicide, Guilin Mansion was almost bombed into ruins, Li Dingguo finally took revenge, and all the forces and forces of the Qing army in Guangxi Mansion were destroyed.

Li Dingguo captured 30,000 Qing troops, and returned to Yunnan Prefecture with 30,000 people and 40,000 remnants of troops collected from nearby.

The smashed Guilin Mansion was lost to the Southern Ming Army, which completely recovered Guangxi Prefecture and expanded its territory, and they now use a state and a half of territory.

The other half of Canton was occupied by the Huaxia Army.

Zhang Qiang also didn't plan to return it to Nan Mingguo, he wanted territory, Nan Mingguo could only go to war with the Huaxia Army, Zhang Qiang meant that what you can't get from the battlefield, don't want to get it from the negotiating table, even if you are an ally.

After Li Dingguo suddenly went crazy and inserted a kick, the power of the Southern Ming and Yongli Ming Dynasty was connected to the city, and the nails inserted into the remnants of the Ming Dynasty were completely pulled out, Zhang Qiang thought, if the news spread to the north, the Qing army would be even more sad, I am afraid that those old and young people of the Ming Dynasty in the north, many of them still miss the Ming Dynasty that destroyed the country for only ten years, they will definitely set off a new round of anti-Qing tide, the year of the great fresh will be more headaches, internal and external troubles, wind and rain, they will definitely deeply understand Chongzhen's mood at that time.
