Li Dingguo looked at the neat queue of the Southern Ming Army in the distance, and looked at the crooked formation on his side, you squeezed me and pushed, it was chaotic, the enemy's artillery made a roar, and the team in front of him was blown up and fled, even the officers couldn't hold it back, he didn't sit on any adjustments, this was just an appetizer before the war, he knew that the people and horses on his side lacked training in firearms combat, lacked experience, and the kind of firearms battles that the Ming Dynasty fought with the Qing Dynasty in the past were purely for fun, Even the battle between himself and Kong Youde in Guilin Mansion was earned back by his own side, not a battle with the enemy against a firearms unit.

This time he's going to fight the enemy like this.

This was a field encounter, and after cleaning up his rebellious subordinates, Li Dingguo gathered an army of 100,000, including three new army brigades, two cavalry brigades, one artillery brigade, and 35,000 soldiers and horses; and his own southern spearmen, all of whom were newly recruited young soldiers, about 12,000 soldiers and horses; Eight thousand elite soldiers and horses who had previously followed him in the southern and northern wars, three thousand archers, one thousand crossbowmen, two thousand swordsmen, and two thousand cavalry.

Attached to his own Tusi soldiers and horses, there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in more than a dozen Tusi.

and the generals attached to their side, in fact, are relatively independent soldiers and horses, more than 23,000 people, among these people are the soldiers and horses led by the generals who recently surrendered to the Qing army, the soldiers and horses of the generals who previously belonged to their own but rebelled, and after being afraid of themselves, the soldiers and horses of the generals who rejoined themselves, and the soldiers and horses of the newly surrendered Southern Ming army.

His 8,000 directly subordinate elite troops are wearing light and sturdy full-body armor sold to him by the Huaxia Army, holding spears made of stainless steel, broadswords, and crossbows of the Huaxia Army, with a long range, silent, and sharp, the war horses are the Mongolian war horses and Western War Horses that the Huaxia Army has crossbred and cultivated over the years, or the Western War Horses introduced from the foreign Taixi people, these three kinds of war horses are matched together, after these years of cultivation, they have finally cultivated a kind of endurance good, whether it is a short-distance charge, or a long-distance journey, and a charge on the battle array, They are all very good war horses, he called them Huaxia military horses.

These weapons and armor are only equipped with their own direct troops, and even the military uniforms are the kind of military uniforms that should be dark green and similar to the style of the Huaxia Army, and the military uniforms are embroidered with his Li Dingguo's Li characters, indicating that this is his Li Dingguo's direct troops, and they are his Li Dingguo's troops.

Several of the new arms units were led by Du Ge, and his generals were in command of the battle.

The weapons and equipment they used were the latest arquebus of the Jingai 1 Arquebus, which was the final version of the Jingai 1 arquebus, which was more advanced than the initial version obtained by the Nanming Army on the other side, with a longer range and better quality, a recruit could operate without special training, could fire, and hit things, compared with the same recruits of the Nanming Army, they were faster and faster, this was the result that Du Ge told him.

The artillery is the artillery of the arquebus era after the Huaxia Army's gold reform 1 and the gold reform 2, which is better than the artillery imitated by the Southern Ming Kingdom and the artillery sold to them by the Huaxia Army, of course, the Huaxia Army still sold some better artillery and arquebuses to the Southern Ming Kingdom, such as the Jinkai 2 arquebus.

All these weapons were sold to him by the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Army also sold some of the latest arquebuses of the Jingai 2, which is also the final type of arquebus, and the Huaxia Army no longer improves the arquebus, because there is no potential for excavation, and the Huaxia Army has now fully equipped the arquebus of the final model of the Jingai 2 arquebus, this arquebus has a rough rifling, and there is a difference between the final version of the Jingai 2 sold to the outside, and the takeaway type has no rifling, and the bullets used are not Mini bullets.

About one-fifth of the troops were equipped with smoothbore flintlock pistols, one-tenth were equipped with rifled flintlock pistols, and about one-twentieth were equipped with state-of-the-art breech-rifled flintlock pistols.

Compared with the Huaxia Army, the weapons and equipment of this army are far worse, but compared with the firearms and equipment of the Southern Ming Army and the Southern Ming Army that betrayed the Huaxia Army, Li Dingguo's troops are still two grades higher.

However, advanced weapons do not necessarily mean that the war can be won, and the battle between the two sides still needs to be fought in the final decisive battle of the cold weapon troops.

For those who betrayed him, Li Dingguo gave them a chance, that is, to be the vanguard of the attack of the entire army in person, to attack the enemy, and now they are staggered by the enemy's artillery fire, and it is those people's troops who are scattered and fleeing.

The weapons of those people's troops were changed by Li Dingguo from the treasury, and the clothes were the clothes of the Ming army in the past, and even some of them were the clothes of the Qing army, or the clothes of the Tusi in the mountains, all kinds of things, the only difference was that they all had a dark green armband issued by Li Dingguo on their arms, indicating that they belonged to their own troops.

Behind them were Li Dingguo's own 3,000 archers, on both sides were recruited Minzhuang, young spearmen, those people had a bamboo in the southern mountains in their hands, this kind of bamboo should not be underestimated him, it was five meters long, it was definitely okay to deal with the enemy's cavalry, and it was absolutely powerful to deal with the enemy's chaotic army, and it was absolutely powerful, stabbing a bloody hole.

They don't have armor on them, they just wear a suit vest with the word Li embroidered on the back and front of Li Dingguo's body, and the rest of the clothes are their own, are they recruited young and strong, there is no need to issue them a set of clothes, and these people are holding such inferior weapons, they are obviously cannon fodder who come to the battlefield to gain experience.

This is what the war is like in this era, most of them are cannon fodder, and the elite ones are all family members and generals, and there are 8,000 elites, which is already the largest number of troops that Li Dingguo can get after he recovers.

All his resources were used to build that firearms unit, and that was his hope.

In order to purchase the weapons and equipment of this army, in order to let them become an army, he almost emptied all his savings over the years, and at the same time sold several large minerals in Yunnan Prefecture, thousands of acres of land, and promised the Huaxia Army to garrison here, although it is only a mere 2,000 Huaxia Army troops, but it is also a matter of face.

The cannon fodder troops in front were used to drag the enemy, and the enemy was obviously stationed here for a night, so he waited for work, and his scouts did not find that the enemy had such a large force here, so Li Dingguo sent those newly surrendered and betrayed subordinates to rush with their deployment to test the enemy.

This temptation was tempted out, there was actually artillery behind the enemy's barracks, there were also artillery on various hills, and the cavalry of the brigade could be faintly seen in the forest behind.

Feng Shuangli and his grievances are a bit much, they were originally the generals of Daxi together, he wanted to get Zhang Xianzhong's favor more, accepted as a righteous son, and Feng Shuangli as a veteran with Zhang Xianzhong, but an old fox, sold their backs to the Qing army, took the lead in escaping, so that the Qing army defeated his army of more than 100,000 troops, and finally he and Sun Kewang turned their faces and also had his share of credit, but for the sake of everyone being the general of Daxi, he forgave him, and later he defected to Nanmingguo, and the relationship between the two people also improved, Is it all to recover the Han people and overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, and now Nan Mingguo has taken the opportunity to fall into the ground, and the two of them are friends and enemies.
