The specific commander made Huang Binqing this person.

Su Zhengqing, Li Guangdi, Li Guangxiong and others were watching the excitement with Zhang Qiang in a camp.

As the other two groups of Ming soldiers reached the front of the position, the Portuguese also sent more soldiers.

Su Zhengqing pointed to the back of the other two positions, "Governor, please see, behind that side are the Japanese ronin and the Gurkha mercenaries, these two mercenaries are very ferocious, when the short arms are in close contact, ten of our people can't prevent one such soldier, the Japanese ronin are flexible and ferocious, and the Gurkha are brave and not afraid of death, so this attack may be beaten down by them again." ”

"Isn't there any other way?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"There is no way, we send muskets, cannons out, and we can't beat the Portuguese, those Japanese and Gurkha may not be able to beat the musketeers, but the gray Indians sent by the British are very good musketeers, although these guys are afraid of death, but when it comes to the use of muskets, they are like obedient children, they can always keep the formation undisordered, and our musketeers can't do it."

Zhang Qiang asked unwillingly, "Is that it?" Can't you get something back? ”

Su Zhengqing's face flushed, "It's not without gains, let's fight from the county seat and Fucheng that they seized to the besieging of the enemy's base camp and the county seat of the Trench Gate, these days, we have pushed from the border to the enemy's doorstep, directly surrounded the enemy, and continuously repelled the enemy's attacks, and is currently more than ten miles away from the enemy's county seat." I believe that it won't be long before we can push the five-mile buffer zone in the middle and directly surround the enemy's county seat. ”

Zhang Qiang said without hesitation: "Then you repelled the enemy, the Ming and Qing dynasties are that the enemy is too small in number and not many troops, so they took the initiative to give up the territory they occupied, and retreated to the area where their troops could defend, depleting your morale and consuming your troops little by little."

Don't be careless, the enemy will definitely not retreat until now after being compressed, and will definitely fight back strongly, order the soldiers to strengthen patrols, do not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of, keep an eye on the enemy, and do not let the enemy take advantage of the loophole and run behind you, in that way, you will be surrounded and die without a place to be buried. ”

"Yes, the Governor has taught you." Li Guangdi agreed with Zhang Qiang's words, and he also understood how the enemy could be defeated and retreated by the Ming army.

Before, the enemy was careless, thinking that the Ming army that could be fought with their strength would suffer a loss and occupy more places, but later found that the enemy was strong, so they retreated again and again, and later received reinforcements from other Taixi people, and hired soldiers from all over the country, and their forces were also strengthened, so the enemy was likely to launch a big counterattack.

Zhang Qiang can only say this, after all, he is no longer the governor of the two provinces of Longwu Nanming, he is now the lord of the Huaxia Army on an equal footing with Longwu Nanming.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield changed, and seeing that the attack was difficult, Huang Binqing sent another 5,000 soldiers and horses, which were regimental training, Praetorian Guards, and cavalry.

On the enemy's side, a group of small, monkey-like Vietnamese joined the battle, seeing that there were thousands of soldiers, and on the other side, a group of soldiers who looked like Ming people also joined the battle.

Now the strength of the two sides on the battlefield reached more than 10,000 people, the fight from east to west, there is a range of three or five miles, the Ming army is still pressing the enemy to fight, has crossed the enemy's trenches, compressed the enemy to a few hundred meters behind, thousands of people quickly ran up, wielding pickaxes, shovels, sandbags, the enemy's trenches were filled, the enemy sent Japanese ronin and Gurkha soldiers to join the battle, the battle situation was suddenly chaotic, the Ming army showed decline.

At this time, the Ming army sent more than 3,000 people to join the battlefield, all wearing armor, brandishing weapons and equipment captured from the Qing army, as well as the Ming army's three-eyed guns, carrying guns, and firearms, fighting with the enemy to protect the actions of the people behind.

The trench filling operation looked successful, the enemy was in a hurry and sent sailor mercenaries, mercenaries from various countries to join the battle.

Here, Su Zhengqing also sent more than 5,000 regular Ming soldiers to join the battle, some people pushed artillery, some people carried all kinds of arquebuses, and began to act from both sides of the battlefield.

At present, the strength of the two sides on the battlefield has reached as many as 50,000 or 60,000.

Gradually, the first trench was almost filled, and the Ming army began to build a camp on the side of the trench and dig a trench to protect the camp.

The enemy's artillery was still bombarding, but the Ming army continued to operate regardless of casualties, seeing that the three camps were about to be erected in front of the first trench, one by one trebuchets, watchtowers, siege vehicles were pushed into the camp, one by one the cannons were pulled and dragged, dragged into the camp, and the people used wheelbarrows to push the supplies and weapons and equipment into the camp.

At this time, a team of arquebuses composed of more than 10,000 Indians flashed out from behind, followed by armored soldiers from various countries, wrapped in heavy armor and lined up in a neat queue, appeared at the rear of the battle line.

One mile, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, the Indians, pushing the artillery, began to bombard the fighting team in front with artillery under the command of the Tessians in the distinctive military uniforms of various countries.

The ranks of both sides were in disarray.

No one could have imagined that the enemy would bombard indiscriminately.

At this time, Su Zhengqing of the Ming army was no longer by Zhang Qiang's side, and even Li Guangxiong was gone.

An army of 10,000 people flashed out of the rear of the Ming army.

The costumes are different, there are regimental exercises, there are the armies of the previous Ming army, and there are the armies of the new army of the Ming army.

The battlefield was full of soldiers who were fighting and fighting, and there were also soldiers fleeing everywhere, and they were in a panic, but the Ming army and the Portuguese allied forces that were sandwiched between them turned a blind eye and kept moving forward, and so did the Ming army.

It can be seen that on both flanks, there are cavalry of the Qing army gathering the Portuguese team, and there are also cavalry of the Ming army collecting the team of their own side.

Soon the Portuguese reached the center of the battlefield, but in front of them, both their own men and the Ming army were killed by the platoon of guns, clearing a large open space.

The large army of the Ming army was still marching three miles away, and it was still about three miles away from the fortress camp established in front.

"Governor, get out of here, maybe the enemy will fight here." Li Guangdi said anxiously with sweat dripping on his forehead.

"It's at least six miles away from there, is the enemy going to fight here?" Zhang Qiang asked strangely.

"Yes, every time the Portuguese fight here, it is possible to fall here, it is possible to hold it, but the bullets have no eyes, and it is better for the Metropolitan Governor to retreat to a safe place."

Li Guangdi seemed to know the result, and said anxiously to Zhang Qiang.

"It doesn't matter, if the enemy hits here, I'll help you block it, my troops will take over the three camps here, you don't care, if you want to retreat, go down first." Zhang Qiang stood still and said calmly.

"This, how could the old man leave the governor alone, this is to commit the crime of defrauding the king, the big crime of stealing the family and destroying the clan. That's it, the old man will accompany the governor to watch the battle here. Li Guangdi said helplessly.

"If you feel unsafe, you can go down, I don't blame you, I will give you an order, you take it to Longwu on an errand, my life or death has nothing to do with you." Zhang Qiang said.

"The old man is still here!" Lee Kwang-di couldn't walk either.

Zhang Qiang smiled.

"Let the guard regiment take over the defense here, and the chasseurs and dragoons retreat to a mile or so behind, and stand by." Although it was very supportive, Zhang Qiang still made some arrangements, at least ready for battle.

Then he turned back and observed the battle between the Ming army and the Portuguese.
