More and more soldiers fled, and with a deep trumpet, nearly 10,000 soldiers poured out of the valley ahead.

It is still the kind of red robe of the Ming Dynasty, the red tasseled helmet, this is the regular army of the Ming army, swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, horns, carriages and horses, all available, very familiar with the Ming army battle formation, he used to follow Zhang Xianzhong to fight in the south and the north, and saw more of the Ming army's battle formation, soldiers and horses, they encountered this kind of soldiers and horses before, they only had to escape, and the troops of 10,000 people were enough to rush the cannon fodder of the people they came, and then their old battalion was poorly equipped with troops who could not resist this kind of Ming army regular army soldiers and horses.

Now, he dares to say that if he doubles the soldiers and horses of this Ming army, he can also win, just with the 8,000 elites in his hands, the 8,000 directly subordinate troops armed to the teeth, equipped with armor all over their bodies, and the weapons are shining with cold light, they are no longer the same as before, with rolled blades, rusty blades, broken bow horns, and cracked spears.

Three cannon shots, he turned his head, and more Ming troops poured out between the two mountain roads in front of him, but these Ming troops were obviously some miscellaneous troops, all weapons, many people were in front of sticks, knives and forks, and the number was nearly 10,000, it seemed that they were going to intercept the routs who were routed by enemy artillery who fled to both sides.

By this time, the two sides had already fought each other, and the sound of weapons clashing, screaming, and crying, and the two sides engaged in hysterical, red-eyed hand-to-hand combat.

Li Dingguo waved the command flag, and the other two troops rushed out, one was the surrendered Ming army troops, and the other was the Qing army troops who took refuge, and the two troops each rushed to the side to help the rout troops of the few sides who had fled, and strangled with the enemy.

Seeing that the frontal battlefield was empty, the enemy's 10,000-strong Ming army slowly approached his side in a neat queue.

Li Dingguo thought for a while, turned his head, and said to his own soldiers: "Let Tusi's troops go up first, put those miscellaneous soldiers first, let them fight with the enemy, and let 12,000 young spearmen line up behind them, but let the flanks of the two wings get out of the way." ”

The soldiers waved the command flag, and at the same time, the scout cavalry who gave the order around him immediately ran out with a flag to give the order to the other party's generals.

Seeing that Tusi's army moved, they rushed towards the Ming army in a swarm, and the young and strong troops behind them, under the command of Li Dingguo's generals, slowly lined up behind them and approached the enemy.

Li Dingguo glanced at the woods in the distance, and muttered in his heart, when will Feng Shuangli dispatch his cavalry troops when he falls to the ground?

He shouted to his own soldiers beside him: "Send out the scout cavalry, reconnoiter the movements within a radius of ten miles from the battlefield, especially the enemy's flanks, as well as our rear, and at the same time send an order to Du Ge, let him come with his troops as soon as possible, if he doesn't come, the enemy's damn artillery fire will wipe out my army." ”

Of course, it is impossible for the army to march together, the 100,000 army is gone, and the radius of more than ten miles cannot be opened, if the head and tail are gone, it will be more than ten kilometers away, and the army will definitely not be able to walk with a force attached to a force, there must be a gap, and Li Dingguo's troops are generally divided into two parts, one part he led, is the army he originally led, and the other part is the firearms unit led by Du Ge, following behind him, their target this time is Wuzhou Mansion in Guangxi Prefecture, and Wuzhou Mansion is Feng Shuangli's lair, Of course, Feng Shuangli has to keep it.

The other Ming troops did not agree, such a huge army rushed straight over, the Ming army had already known, so the troops from various places gathered one after another, and the vanguard led by Feng Shuangli met with Li Dingguo's vanguard troops.

The two sides first fought each other with scout cavalry, covering the battlefield, and then approached each other, and finally after three days of confrontation, they met together, despite the reconnaissance of the scout troops, the two sides did not know very well how many troops each other had, Li Dingguo was very anxious.

If he can't defeat or annihilate the enemy as soon as possible, then the more enemies gather, the greater his resistance, although he has considered this situation, he still doesn't want too many enemies to gather, he wants to annihilate one by one, and then take Wuzhou Mansion, give Nanming a dismount, Wuzhou Mansion divides Guangdong Prefecture and Guangxi Prefecture of Nanming Kingdom, which is a huge threat to Nanming's main territory today.

In the face of the enemy's artillery, Li Dingguo, of course, could not help but counterattack, and his troops also had artillery and arquebuses, all of which were in the hands of his direct troops.

These were all sold to them by the original Huaxia Army, as well as the captured artillery of the Qing Army that Nanming gave them when the Southern Ming Kingdom attacked Kong Youde together.

All that could be carried were brought over, but more than 30 guns, and soon these artillery pieces were erected and bombarded against the enemy's artillery, obviously they were better trained than the training of Nanmingguo, and after just two rounds, they smashed the artillery on a hill in Nanmingguo, where the smoke was filled, and the dead and wounded were all over the place, and then exploded violently, apparently hitting the enemy's powder keg, and the powder keg was killed.

But obviously the enemy arrived here earlier than them, and the arrangement was good, and the various hills, Feng Shuangli, who had been fighting for many years and had also experienced in combat, arranged them very skillfully and usefully, and the artillery positions of Li Dingguo's department, which had only achieved some results in two rounds, were already fired by the artillery of the enemy's several hills, and three or four artillery pieces were blown up, killing and wounding hundreds of people.

On the frontal battlefield, the Tusi army obviously could not compete with the regular Ming army, the Tusi army was already in chaos, although it gave the enemy some casualties, it seemed that the damage was not large, they turned around and fled, or fled to both sides, and the enemy rushed over from both sides and wrapped the dumplings of the Tusi army.

Behind him there was a team of warlords, 12,000 spearmen, in the face of the dense line of spears, obviously no one thought where to rush through, so they ran to both sides, increasing the pressure on the enemy outflanking troops on both sides, and the enemy's outflanking troops also collapsed, and both sides fled together.

Seeing that the enemy began to rush towards the young spear troops in front, Li Dingguo smiled at the corner of his mouth, glanced at the guards, the guards raised their horns and blew them, and suddenly dozens of elephants rushed out of the mountains and forests on both sides.

Although this group of Tusi soldiers did not have any formation, they looked fierce and abnormal, and some of them rode not war horses, wild boars, and wild wolves, so that the cavalry of the Ming army were frightened and confused, and the war horses neighed, but they did not dare to move, or ran around, messing up their own positions.

The elephant was like a bulldozer, throwing its nose more than two meters long, rushing over one by one, trampling, nose sweeping, the Ming army was like a fallen leaf after autumn, they flew up, and then they were thrown on both sides like dolls and rags, and were hacked to death by the axes of the Tusi soldiers who rushed behind them, poked to death with spears, and trampled to death by bantams, the armor on their bodies was not bad, but in the face of such a strange opponent, the armor on their bodies could not prevent them from being trampled into serious injuries and died.

Li Dingguo was very satisfied with the effect of this strange army, and the enemy's regular army retreated like a tide.

He hurriedly sent his two thousand cavalry to collect his own rout, while the young spearmen advanced forward.

In the eyes of the war eagle flying in the sky, Zhang Qiang saw what a war elephant was and what a war with war elephants was involved, a bit like the scene in the movie Lord of the Rings.
