Li Dingguo led more than 80,000 soldiers to suddenly kill out of the night, and exchanged an empty city for a great opportunity to annihilate 30,000 Qing troops, and he could also take the opportunity to break the surveillance of the Qing army, so as to take advantage of the night to lead the soldiers of the army to calmly withdraw from Yongning Prison City.

"Gunners and archers come forward! The whole army is ready for battle, and all the Qing army Tartars are annihilated! ”

Li Dingguo roared loudly, staring at the burning Yongning Prison City with a pair of tiger eyes, and secretly said in his heart: "Brother Wenxiu, today I see that my brother will avenge you!" ”

At this moment, I saw a pair of Qing army iron horsemen rushing out of the fire in a panic, these Qing soldiers were all embarrassed, many of their faces were black, paste, and even some people's braids were burned off by the fire.

It didn't take long for thousands of Qing army iron cavalry to gather outside the Yongning Prison City, and Jierharang also led more than 100 personal soldiers to escape from the Yongning Prison City, and urgently reorganized the army in front of the large army.

These Qing army iron cavalry is worthy of being elite soldiers, although they were suddenly attacked by the Ming soldiers, and many soldiers and horses were broken by the fire, and finally were blocked in the fire by tens of thousands of Ming soldiers, but there was still no big chaos, after the emergency rectification of Zilharang, it quickly regained its composure, and it didn't take long to form a relatively strict cavalry formation.

However, in this way, many Qing soldiers in Yongning Prison City continued to escape and continue to join the Qing army's cavalry formation.

Li Dingguo looked at more and more Qing soldiers escaping, and the Qing army's cavalry formation was getting bigger and bigger, he couldn't help but change his face greatly, and immediately ordered thousands of muskeoners and archers in front of the army to come forward to fight, preparing to strike first and disrupt the Qing army's cavalry formation that had just been reorganized.

"The whole army comes forward!"

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ”

"Ready!"

"Get on the arrow!"

"Gale! Gale! Gale! ”

At this time, Zilharang was also watching the Ming army's large array, and when he saw that thousands of Ming soldiers had been killed, he immediately ordered the whole army to attack.

"Warriors charge with the king to avenge the dead warriors!"

With a shout, Zilharang led the surviving 20,000 Qing cavalry to charge.

20,000 Qing army iron cavalry launched a charge, although the Qing army iron cavalry has just suffered a major blow, but the morale of the army is still undiminished, at this time, with Zilharang charging together, it is even more momentum, it looks very terrifying.

"Put!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Thousands of soldiers of the Ming army opened fire violently against the 20,000 Qing army iron cavalry, and a little fire suddenly flashed in the dark night, and countless sharp arrows pierced the night sky and shot at the Qing army iron cavalry army that was galloping.

Almost at the same time, the Qing army's iron cavalry army also began to shoot back, and the dense arrow rain suddenly enveloped thousands of Ming army soldiers, these Ming army soldiers did not have pikemen, sword and axe hands like fine heavy armor, most of the body was light cotton armor, in the face of the dense arrow rain of the Qing army's iron cavalry, there was almost no defensive power, and a large area was shot down in an instant.

In this way, in the mutual shooting between the two sides, Zilharang led 20,000 Qing army iron cavalry to kill thousands of Ming soldiers, and a bloody massacre was staged in an instant.

"Kill the Bright Dog!"

Zierharang shouted loudly, and led the Qing army's iron cavalry to rush into the thousands of Ming soldiers, and almost encountered any decent obstacles, and divided and surrounded these thousands of Ming army gunners and archers. Immediately afterwards, Zilharang commanded the army to launch a final encirclement and annihilation of thousands of Ming soldiers who had fallen into a desperate situation.

When Li Dingguo saw this scene in front of him, he couldn't help but burst into flames and rage, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack, leading 80,000 Ming soldiers to line up and move forward, and killed the 20,000 Qing army iron cavalry who had fallen into a melee.

In the darkness of the night, the city of Yongning became a fierce battlefield again after suffering the baptism of fire.

Li Dingguo led 80,000 soldiers of the Ming army and 20,000 Qing troops led by Jierharang fought together, and the 100,000 army fought in the wilderness north of Yongning Jiancheng, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Because the Qing iron cavalry led by Zierharang first attacked thousands of Ming army gunners and archers, the iron cavalry army lost its tight cavalry formation, and more seriously, the Qing army iron cavalry lost its vital charging speed. This made the innate advantages of the Qing army's iron cavalry never be able to give full play, and after being surrounded by 80,000 Ming soldiers led by Li Dingguo, they fell into a bitter battle.

Li Dingguo knew very well that now was a good time to annihilate Ji'er Harang's troops, so he ordered the whole army to press and kill all the 20,000 Qing army iron cavalry in front of him at all costs.

"Kill!"

Li Dingguo's spear in his hand was like a swimming dragon, and he assassinated seven Qing soldiers in a blink of an eye, and then led hundreds of personal guards around him to rush forward, killing a bloody path in the Qing army. Seeing this, the surrounding Ming soldiers all marched forward bravely, and followed behind Li Dingguo with a roar, and killed among the soldiers and horses of the Qing army, and it didn't take long to rush the Qing army's iron cavalry to pieces.

Being besieged by an army of elite infantry when you can't charge at high speed is fatal for the Iron Cavalry!

At this time, although Zilharang surrounded and annihilated thousands of Ming army gunners and archers, the 20,000 troops led by himself were surrounded by several times the Ming army, which was a bit too heavy.

Zilharang rode his horse and looked around the battlefield, and seeing that the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, he prepared to concentrate his forces and rush out from the north side of the battlefield.

However, when Jierharang urgently dispatched troops, Li Dingguo led hundreds of Ming soldiers to rush over, and after a fierce battle, almost all the Qing soldiers guarding the periphery of Jierharang were killed, and Jierharang was immediately exposed to the blade of the Ming soldiers!

Although the night was dark, Li Dingguo still found Jierharang, who was already a little panicked, at the first time, and immediately shouted: "Kill the slave chief!" Soldiers, rush! ”

Li Dingguo's roar was like a lightning bolt in the night, and it instantly slashed into the hearts of the soldiers of the Ming army. The anger in the hearts of tens of thousands of Ming soldiers was ignited in an instant, and at this time, they were all fearless to kill the Qing army.

Zilharang looked at the scene in front of him, and a wave of fear surged in his heart, so he wanted to lead hundreds of elite iron cavalry of the Qing army near the Chinese army to break through first. However, as soon as Jierharang led hundreds of Qing army iron cavalry to rush out for a while, he suddenly found that a general of the Ming army had already blocked his front and completely cut off his way of life.

Li Dingguo led the troops with a horizontal gun, looked at the embarrassed and fled Zilharang and shouted: "Soldiers! Revenge! ”

After speaking, Li Dingguo led hundreds of Ming soldiers to rush up, and the Qing army iron cavalry who could only walk on the battlefield in small steps became a group, and the spears in the hands of the Ming army soldiers poked dozens of Qing army iron horses off their horses in a very short time, and they were not alive.

Seeing this, Zilharang's scalp was also numb, and he immediately ordered all his horses to dismount and line up to meet him. After all, in the case of not being able to charge, the cavalry's target is too big, and it is the best target for the pikeman!

As soon as hundreds of Qing cavalry dismounted, they surrounded Zilharang in the middle, and then rushed forward in formation, trying to break out of the Ming army's encirclement with their strong combat power.

However, even if the soldiers of the Qing army were extraordinary, the soldiers of the Ming army led by Li Dingguo were not muddy. These Ming soldiers may not be as powerful as the Qing soldiers, but every Ming soldier is like death, and all of them fight for their lives in battle, and even pounce on them and die with the Qing soldiers. With this kind of fighting, even if the Qing soldiers have strong combat power, they can't resist it!

Really! As time passed, Zilharan's troops could no longer advance and began to retreat instead. In the face of the successive charges of the Ming soldiers, these Tartar soldiers began to be afraid and desperate.

It didn't take long for hundreds of Qing soldiers around Zilharang to desert, and then the entire small phalanx began to disintegrate.

Li Dingguo was overjoyed when he saw this, and led the Ming soldiers to launch the final onslaught, only one charge broke the Qing army's formation, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers rushed up to surround Jierharang, after a burst of swords and swords, Jierharang became a pile of minced meat on the ground, and only one head was still intact.

When Li Dingguo saw that he had killed the Manchu army's Blue Flag Banner Master Jierharang, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar: "Brother Wenxiu! I've avenged you! ”

After speaking, Li Dingguo ordered to encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Qing army at all costs and end the battle as soon as possible.

The remaining 10,000 or so Qing soldiers fell into chaos after Zilharang's death, and were always on the verge of collapse. At this moment, Li Dingguo led the soldiers of the Ming army to launch a general attack, and the Qing army began to flee in an instant.

In the face of the fleeing Qing soldiers, the Ming soldiers launched an encirclement and annihilation, without the slightest mercy for these ugly Tartar soldiers, the Ming soldiers killed all those Qing army routs, and never left a single mouth!

Half an hour later, the entire battlefield fell silent, and Zilharang and his 30,000 Qing cavalry were wiped out. And the more than 80,000 soldiers of the Ming army led by Li Dingguo also paid a heavy price of nearly 30,000 soldiers killed in battle.

Li Dingguo looked at the night sky that was gradually brightening, did not dare to stay too long in Yongning Prison City, and after a little reorganization of the soldiers and horses, he immediately led the remaining 50,000 troops to retreat south.

Early the next morning, Dai Shan led the Manchurian army of the Red Banner Iron Cavalry to Yongning Prison City, which had been turned into a scorched earth, and saw the corpses all over the mountains and fields, and saw the mutilated corpse of Zilharang, and couldn't help but change color in shock.

"Pegasus reports to Your Majesty, the Ming army has fled south! Zilharang was defeated and died! ”
