During Van Diemen's visit to Australia, the pace of war between the Ming and the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not stop, both sides were mobilizing mobilizable forces, and drew a large number of artillery to the front line, at this time Azig can be said to be full of confidence, for the battle with the Australians still have a lot of confidence, not to mention, the number of artillery alone has exceeded the other side.

The Manchu spies were all over the country, and they had a clear survey of the military strength of the Australians, but at the same time they also knew an important point, that is, the Australians' weapons were much more powerful than them, and they could only rely on numbers to suppress each other.

If the number is not good, use manpower to suppress it, this is the inner thoughts of Dorgon and Azig, after all, no matter what, the force of the Australians is still very strong, although they have not fought each other, but they also know their strength through various channels.

In this case, you can only use your own advantages to suppress the other party, and the other party will not be able to defeat them if they do not have an absolute advantage.

Of course, the most important thing is that they know that the total strength of the Australians is only more than 10,000 people, that is, the number of people is about the same as the number of Guan Ning Army, and this more than 10,000 people can be said to be the biggest obstacle to the unification of Nanming, if there is no them, others will not be able to compare with them.

After all, no matter what, they fought all the way from outside the gate, and they still had strength, and he still knew how powerful Nanming's army was, so he didn't need to think about it.

Azig had contact with the forces of the southern court, and had fought several times, but basically ended in his victory, so he didn't take them very seriously at all.

Even if Liangguang is so strong in combat, he doesn't pay attention to it, after all, in his opinion, it is only the strength of the Guanning Army at most, and it is still far behind the Eight Banners Army.

The location of the Cheng soldiers on both sides is in the area where Guangdong and Jiangxi meet, and the two sides almost opened a long snake formation, in this case, whoever is defeated can drive straight into the enemy and enter the enemy's interior, but there is also an Australian regiment in the rear of the two Guangxi to defend, which is much better than Azig.

There was almost no Manchu main force in the rear of the Azig, and if this war was lost, it would lose the whole of Jiangxi, and Hunan could also be lost, after all, there were not many troops deployed there, and the most important point was that the Australians had already launched an attack there.

It is said that the attacking troops are also about 10,000 people, but the main force is only a few thousand people, but the commander there is Sun Chuanting, this Inspector is not a small reputation, it is said that he is very good at using soldiers, and he has Australian adventures, and he has learned the methods of Australian warfare, and now it seems that the two of them should not be weak.

But it is still relatively weak compared to the Australian side, after all, the frontal side of the enemy that Azig has to face, the main force of Australia, is not comparable to the thousands of people in Lao Sun's side.

In fact, everyone is waiting for the opening of this war, as long as the battle starts, the winner will be determined in the end, and the victorious side will inevitably be the forces that can affect the entire south in the future.

In Azig's tent, several generals sat together, discussing how to advance or push the enemy back.

The Australians took the initiative to attack, which was the first time after the previous battles, because every battle with the Ming Dynasty was basically dominated by the attack of the Eight Banners Army, and the other side was defensive, even in the case of defense, they had not defeated, which made Azig have a contempt for them.

Otherwise, they would not have had such thoughts about them, of course, the main thing is that the Ming army is not strong, and the battle is too weak.

Sun Chuanting was appointed as the elder of Shangshu Pavilion of the Ministry of War, and at the same time concurrently served as the governor of the two lakes, and many other positions, which shows how much King Gui and Shen Youlong attach importance to him, although the governor of the two lakes is just a title, but at present, as long as he recovers these two places, it is basically equivalent to real power.

The most important thing is that as long as Lao Sun recovers this place, then he will be able to raise his status in the Guiwang court by a level, although there are so many official positions canonized now, but there is one certainty that others do not buy his account very much.

After all, he is not a local official in Liangguang, and he will inevitably feel a little lost when he achieves such a high position all of a sudden, but if he joins, he will have to canonize such a position, after all, he is also a minister on the overseer side in the previous dynasty, if the official position is smaller than before, people can not bird you at all.

After all, Lao Sun's other position is very dazzling, that is, his identity as an in-service staff officer in Australia, this time he came back as an operational staff officer, and he is directly in charge of a part of the Australian soldiers, if he is not satisfied, even in Australia will be reused.

Shen Youlong has thought about the face here, if he doesn't give people a good official position at this time, he won't be able to explain it to Australia.

After all, the Australians are the main force this time, and if you are not reused, but are reused on his side, then it will be difficult to say at that time.

That person may say that you, Lao Shen, are jealous of talents, and you don't need to let such a military talent as Lao Sun go, and give it to the Australians for nothing, it's really blind.

In order not to bear this kind of infamy, Shen Youlong still decided to use him, after all, no matter what, the other party does have strength, and if the person who can defeat Li Zicheng does not have a little strength, he will definitely not be able to lead the army.

The main reason for Sun Chuanting's defeat was an important factor caused by the blind command of those people in the court, of course, there were other aspects, so Lao Sun said before the battle that he hoped that the court would not interfere too much in his use of troops, otherwise it would be difficult for him to win.

If King Gui can't agree, it is estimated that he will not send troops, after all, he has suffered a loss in this matter in the past, and he will definitely not think about suffering a loss, so he naturally thinks about winning.

It is the first time to fight with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and of course it is not the last time, he may lead troops to fight for a long time in the future, after all, after recovering Hubei and Hunan, he also needs a big future like him to defend it, otherwise it is easy to be captured by the Manchus again.

The Manchus did not pay much attention to his combat effectiveness, but only mobilized a part of the surrendered Ming army for defense, with a number of about 100,000 people.

In their opinion, in the case of absolute superiority in numbers, it is a bit difficult for Lao Sun to win, after all, they have an advantage, the number of people is the biggest advantage, this is what Lao Sun does not have, didn't Li Zicheng rely on this advantage to win at the beginning, and now they can still rely on this to win once.
