Li Zicheng ran in front, Huang Desheng chased behind, and then the infantry led by Guo Chengdong followed up to clear the remnants of the enemy and occupy the place.

However, after Li Zicheng arrived at the boundary of Fuzhou, he found that there were many large and small ships sailing on the Minjiang River, and when he saw their team, he leaned over and fired a few guns and arrows. Those big ships will also fire a few shells at their side.

Li Zicheng and the others discussed it and decided to go upstream to have a look. But it's the same when I go upstream, but there are fewer big boats and more small boats. They found some boats on the east coast and asked the boatmen to help them carry their troops there. However, the boatman did not cooperate much, and several times he rowed the boat towards the center of the river, and when he heard the enemy shoot and shoot arrows, he jumped into the water and swam back, but the soldiers on the boat did not know how to operate the boat, and watched the big ship come and crash, and all of them were buried at the bottom of the river.

Now they are dumbfounded, they have blocked the Minjiang River, and they don't even give a chance to attack half-crossing, and it will be over as soon as the water is over. The boatmen can't all be killed, and without the boatmen, they landlubbers won't be able to cross the Min River.

Those wealthy families on the east bank of the Min River, although they were forced by Li Zicheng's military might not dare not give grain and grass, they also procrastinated, and they always passed the news to Zheng Zhilong's people as soon as possible. These families, as long as they have some family business, few of them have nothing to do with maritime trade, so as long as they can save their lives, these people are still willing to sell Zheng Zhilong a good one.

Li Zicheng led his troops to continue northward, but the mountains gradually became larger, the water flow was also rapid, and the soldiers and militias on the other side of the river had already prepared, and there were not a few firearms, bows and crossbows, as well as large and small franc machine guns, and they were still unable to cross the river.

What's more critical is that Li Yan's troops are chasing after him tightly, and these days Bai Wang, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu and others take turns to serve as the rear team, and none of them are not bitter. Fang Guoan and Gao Jie, who had just surrendered to Li Yan before, jumped like a pill, and chased more fiercely than Li Yan's descendants.

There is no way, no one wants to fight Li Yan. Li Zicheng and the others discussed, let's continue to go north, they can always find a place to cross the river. But when they arrived near Minqing County, the pass to the north was blocked. The mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I tried to attack twice without progress. At this time, they knew that it was Zuo Mengeng, a lost dog, who was blocking their way.

When the generals found out, they were all extremely angry. This is really a tiger falling into Pingyang being bullied by dogs. The year before last, Zuo Liangyu was afraid to fight with them, so he slipped east to do something on the side of Qingjun. Now this lost dog dares to block their way, it's really unpredictable. However, Zuo Mengeng occupies the terrain, and they won't be able to fight for a while.

In the end, there was really no way, they could only rely on the Minjiang River and decide to fight with Li Yan's vanguard. If Li Yan had tens of thousands of infantry behind, they would rather go all out to attack the mountain pass guarded by Zuo Mengeng, or they would have fought a decisive battle with Li Yan. But now that Li Yan's cavalry is less than 10,000, plus Gao Jie and Fang Guoan's more than 1,000 cavalry, the infantry seems to be still some distance, so it is not impossible to win.

Their purpose is mainly to buy them some time for themselves, so that they can be fully prepared to defeat Zuo Mengeng and continue to go north. As for occupying the place, confronting Li Yan or something, it would have proved unfeasible a long time ago, and they naturally wouldn't waste this energy.

This time, let Shi Jincai take the lead. Although it had been proved last time, Shi Jincai's men could not resist Li Yan's attack. But this time it was mainly cavalry that was chasing, and the soldiers trained by Shi Jincai should be able to resist it.

Shi Jincai was busy for a long time, and set up the formation, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, crossbowmen and firecrackers lined up in turn from front to back, and all kinds of artillery were also placed in the queue, waiting to meet the infantry pursued by Li Yan.

At this time, he felt very ridiculous, he betrayed Li Yan for a woman, and he only thought about winning the world with Li Zicheng, the true dragon emperor, what woman can't get it? But after calling back and forth, in the end, it was Li Yan who sat in the Dragon Court, and after a circle, he was still a thief.

When the troops after Tamihide came into view, he arranged a dozen or so cavalry in front, and asked the retreating cavalry to go around to the main formation on both sides, otherwise they would all be treated as enemy troops. He was ruthless this time, even if Tian Jianxiu himself rushed straight into the military formation, he would not hesitate to order to shoot.

But he was too worried, how could Tian Jianxiu withdraw at the end? Retreating in front, of course, is not as nervous as the last general, and can naturally act according to the prompts. However, the generals who fell behind, even if they saw their companions in front of them avoiding both sides, some rushed directly to the military formation in order to escape faster.

These people became Shi Jincai's first targets, and the rumbling cannon sounded, and the projectiles of the shotgun and the flowering shells of the tiger squat cannon flew out, bringing down dozens of their own cavalry, as well as the nearest dozen or so enemy cavalry in pursuit. And these more than ten chasing cavalrymen were all Gao Jie's subordinates.

As soon as the rumbling artillery and explosions rang out, the cavalry pursuing behind immediately stopped their horses. Gao Jie and Fang Guoan's subordinates, who were pursuing in front, all retreated in a panic, and only Li Yan's subordinates paid attention to the enemy's arrangement.

After Huang Desheng learned the news, he was not in a hurry, but asked the cavalry to retreat slightly, and sent a guard three miles away from the enemy, while the large army was assembled five miles away. In this way, it is possible to ensure both security and contact with the enemy. Now that Li Zicheng has stopped, he is not in a hurry. It is not wise to use cavalry to attack the enemy on the back of the water, and waiting for the follow-up infantry and artillery to follow up and defeat Li Zicheng on the east bank of the Min River is the best result of this battle.

After a day of confrontation between the two sides, Li Zicheng was dissatisfied, and this situation made him have to set aside a large number of troops to guard against the attack of Li Yan's cavalry, and he could not concentrate his forces to open the pass to the north. So he ordered Shi Jincai to take the initiative to attack and drive Li Yan's cavalry away.

Shi Jincai had no choice but to lead his descendants to form a phalanx, beat the drum, and advance towards the enemy's cavalry. Although he commanded more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, only his more than 2,000 subordinates were able to complete the movement of the phalanx, so the attack phalanx was not large.

After Huang Desheng knew that the enemy was attacking in formation, he immediately made a decision to assemble his troops in the predetermined area and fire all the only 60 rockets at the enemy's phalanx. At the same time as the rockets were launched, two thousand cavalry, lined up in a five-layer line, rushed straight towards the enemy wave after wave.

Shi Jincai's troops were not ready for artillery fire, and rockets were scurrying around the phalanx and exploding continuously, scaring the soldiers in the phalanx. Before Shi Jincai's subordinates could react, Huang Degong's cavalry rushed closer.

Shi Jincai's men opened fire in a hurry, but the unorganized artillery and arrows were completely unable to stop the enemy. Huang Degong's cavalry, only the first row had some casualties, but they still rushed into the enemy formation, and after the follow-up cavalry rushed up, Shi Jincai's phalanx completely collapsed.

Huang Desheng led the cavalry to take advantage of the situation to cover the past, and broke up one of Li Zicheng's defense lines, slashing and killing many of Li Zicheng's subordinates. However, out of consideration for reducing casualties, he did not continue to rush, but collected his troops and returned to the camp to continue to monitor and contain Li Zicheng.

After this battle, Shi Jincai's carefully trained subordinates went to Nine Pavilions, and they no longer had the strength to fight with the Liang army. And Li Zicheng and others also dispelled the idea of taking the initiative to attack, and instead concentrated on dealing with the defeated general of his former subordinates, Zuo Jiajun.
