The rout of the "Heavenly Aid Army" is inevitable, and Shang Kexi is now thinking about how to withdraw more people and horses.

However, the Wehrmacht did not give him another chance, and as hundreds of small phalanxes divided the tens of thousands of "Tianzhu Army" into several pieces, more and more Qing soldiers fell, and many "Tianzhu Army" soldiers who had thrown away their weapons were already kneeling on the side of the road.

The Wehrmacht phalanx did not stop to capture the prisoners, but continued to shoot quickly at the crowded formation of the Qing soldiers.

"It's your turn, we don't want to take prisoners of the 'Heavenly Aid Army' brutes, kill them all!" Liu Zhaoji turned to the general of the Ming army and said coldly.

Shang Kexi, who was red-eyed, led hundreds of personal soldiers to shout loudly in the back, and Shang Kexi was ordering the troops to retreat.

At this time, the artillery position could already see the entire battlefield, and Yan Yingyuan, who was observing the battlefield with a telescope, found Shang Kexi and others who were shouting behind the battlefield.

"Bring those boxes of shells here!"

Yan Yingyuan jumped off the high platform while giving the order, and personally commanded ten artillery pieces to start aiming at Shang Kexi's location.

The gunners carefully moved through several boxes and carefully loaded the fuses onto this very precious shell.

The artillerymen knew that this kind of shell was very powerful, and it was handled with great care.

Yan Yingyuan repeatedly mentally calculated the distance, calculating the difference between the weight of this shell and other shells, and kept adjusting the order to shoot Zhu Yuan, and when all ten artillery pieces were ready, Yan Yingyuan took a few steps back and gave the order to fire.

On the battlefield where the muskets were constantly sounding, the sound of ten shells firing did not attract much attention, and the ten shells flew towards the position where Shang Kexi was standing, and Shang Kexi was shouting hoarsely at this time, and did not react at all.

When the cannonball whistled and flew overhead, Shang Kexi's personal soldier felt it first, and a personal soldier flew forward to pounce Shang Kexi under him, but was dodged by Shang Kexi's subconscious flash, and the personal soldier suddenly pounced and fell to the ground.

All ten shells exploded around Shang Kexi, and the violent explosion attracted the attention of the entire battlefield.

Hong Chengchou also hurriedly looked at this position, and the ten shells did not raise a lot of gunsmoke, but Hong Chengchou saw that there was no one standing in Shang Kexi's position.

At least a dozen shells hit Shang Kexi, who fell to the ground and his eyes were not closed, and it is estimated that at this moment he was still fantasizing about escaping with the "Heavenly Aid Army".

There is only one survivor of Shang Kexi's personal soldier, and that is the personal soldier who wanted to defeat Shang Kexi just now.

When he staggered to his feet, he felt that the whole world had lost his voice, and when he looked around, there was no living person around, and the soldier staggered to the side, not even making out the direction, but walked in the direction of the Wehrmacht.

Yan Yingyuan's ten shells not only knocked out Shang Kexi, but also knocked out Hong Chengchou's idea of rescuing the "Heavenly Aid Army".

Just when the cavalry division surrounded the "Tianzhu Army", Hong Chengchou had already descended the high slope and ordered the Qing soldiers to begin to retreat backwards.

The cavalry of the "Heavenly Aid Army" began to scatter and flee, but they were soon driven back by the cavalry division, and not a single horse escaped from the encirclement.

Shang Kexi's death completely made the "Tianzhu Army" lose their fighting spirit, and the Qing soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt on the side of the road, and the Ming army in Guangzhou City began to escort a group of prisoners to walk back, and before they could walk a few steps, they were seen by Liu Zhaoji.

"Come here!" Liu Zhaoji pointed to a general on horseback and shouted.

"What do you command, general?" The general patted his horse and came over, clasped his fists on the horse and saluted.

"Did I let you take the prisoners?" Liu Zhaoji said with a cold face.

"What does the general mean?" The general asked hesitantly, his eyes still looking at Gu Yuanjing next to him.

"Kill them all! Not a single one to stay! Liu Zhaoji's voice was cold and firm.

"General Liu, the killing of prisoners is unknown!" Gu Yuanjing patted the horse and walked a few steps and came to Liu Zhaoji's side.

"Since the day they slaughtered the city in Shaozhou, they can no longer be called 'people'! They're just a bunch of brutes! Killed a bunch of brutes, what's ominous? Liu Zhaoji didn't pay attention to Gu Yuanjing's words.

Seeing that the Guangzhou generals were still hesitating, Liu Zhaoji was a little impatient and shouted loudly: "Someone! Pass my orders, not a single captive! ”

Li Chengdong had already patted his horse and walked over, and when he heard Liu Zhaoji's order, he also loudly ordered the troops to take the prisoners away and then execute them all.

After a long while, the continuous gunfire rang out again, and several regiment commanders ran to Liu Zhaoji's horse and reported loudly that the "Tianzhu Army" had all been wiped out, and not a single one was left.

At the end of the battle, it was only half of the morning, and Liu Zhaoji asked the Ming army in Guangzhou to clean up the battlefield and ordered the troops to assemble quickly.

The results of the battle were quickly counted, and the entire campaign annihilated more than 45,000 "Tianzhu Army" and other Qing soldiers, and captured more than 3,000 war horses.

The casualties of the troops were also quickly reported to Liu Zhaoji, and the two divisions suffered more than 100 casualties, but there were not many casualties, only about 20 people, and the cavalry division lost more than 20 people.

Gu Yuanjing and the others, who were standing next to Liu Zhaoji, stupidly listened to the reports of enemy kills and casualties at all levels, which completely subverted their cognition.

Before they could congratulate Liu Zhaoji and the others, Liu Zhaoji gave another order.

"The scouts will be dispatched immediately to find out the movements of the Qing soldiers, and the troops will rest in place for an hour, and immediately after lunch, they will start a pursuit of the Qing soldiers!"

Although the battle was not fierce, the soldiers kept running, the physical exertion was very large, and it was also necessary to rest for an hour, and it was impossible for the Qing soldiers to run away, otherwise Liu Zhaoji would directly order the troops to start the pursuit.

The soldiers who received the order to rest in place quickly sat down in a circle under the organization of the officer, and the officer stood in the middle and began to sum up the battle just now, praise the soldiers who had performed outstandingly, and point out the problems existing in the battle.

After the summary, it is the wiping and maintenance of weapons, that is, there are rules for wiping and maintenance, and the movements seem to be extremely coordinated, and it is not the whole division that operates at the same time, but when one regiment wipes, the other regiment is responsible for duty vigilance.

The scene of tens of thousands of people resting was neat and orderly, and the soldiers who wanted to make it convenient reported and ran to the temporary toilets that had just been built in the distance.

The soldiers of the Ming army who came while cleaning the battlefield were a little stupid, they had never seen such a disciplined army.

"It's really an unprecedentedly strong army!"

Just when Gu Yuanjing sighed, bursts of neat singing came out of the rest venue, and the loud singing spread far and wide, and also reached the city wall of Guangzhou City.

Although the battle was over, the onlookers on the city walls were reluctant to disperse.

"Do you see clearly? The Wehrmacht didn't take a single prisoner. ”

"Yes, yesterday I heard that the Wehrmacht was going to wipe out these beasts that slaughtered the people, and they really did it!"

"After this battle, if the Qing soldiers still want to do something to slaughter the city, I'm afraid they will have to weigh it!"

"Listen, they're singing? The singing is really good, after a big battle, why aren't they tired? ”

"What kind of war? In my opinion, the Wehrmacht is purely like killing chickens and dogs, and the Qing soldiers can only bully other armies. When he said this, his voice became much quieter, lest others listen to him.

The walls had turned into a sea of joy, but no one cared about what he said.

Gu Yuanjing called out to a Guangzhou official and whispered a few words, and the official quickly got on his horse and galloped towards the city.

Yan Yingyuan's artillery didn't have time to rest, the artillery had been fighting for so long, and they had to do cleaning and maintenance, Yan Yingyuan asked other officers to organize it, and he went to Liu Zhaoji and others.

"I said Liheng, I said it all yesterday, Shang Kexi is going to split this bastard myself, and as a result, you will be fried, and this bastard will be cheap!"

Li Chengdong said to Yan Yingyuan half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Yan Yingyuan smiled, not caring about Li Chengdong's words.

"Liheng, how is your artillery prepared? Can you keep up with the speed of the troops? Liu Zhaoji asked.

"Commander Liu, Commander Li, I came here to tell you about this, although the sky is sunny today, I went to see it just now, but the road is still not dry, if the artillery is on the road, it must be trapped."

Yan Yingyuan said with some distress.

Gu Yuanjing saw the battle process just now very clearly, and knew that the artillery of the Wehrmacht was too powerful, and if it were not for them, even if the battle was won, I am afraid that the Wehrmacht would have paid a heavy price.

Gu Yuanjing listened to Yan Yingyuan's words, and pulled several officials and Ming army generals aside, and several people began to mumble.

"Lao Liu, if you want me to say, why don't we wait a day? I don't believe that Hong Chengchou, this old boy, can fly to the sky, and when the road is dry, let's hurry up? Li Chengdong asked hesitantly.

Liu Zhaoji touched his chin and began to think.

Liu Zhaoji felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, and he was responsible for the southward march of the army this time, although Luo Jian and Shi Kefa did not explain the specific task of destroying the enemy in the south, but Liu Zhaoji felt that he had brought out almost half of the strength of the National Defense Army, and if there were no big results, he would not be able to go back and explain to the Metropolitan Governor and the Governor.

Now Liu Zhaoji is most worried that Hong Chengchou will lead the Qing soldiers to escape directly, and it is a headache to chase him or not.

If the Qing troops have run away and then go after the pursuit, it will definitely have to be delayed for a lot of time, and now the situation in Guangxi is very urgent, and urgent documents have been sent to him one after another, if the Qing troops occupy the entire territory of Guangxi, the national defense forces will face one fortified city after another in the future, and if they want to recover Guangxi, I don't know how much more effort it will take.

If Hong Chengchou's Qing soldiers were released, what if the army went to Guangxi and they turned back to attack Guangzhou?

Liu Zhaoji felt that the number of national defense forces was still too small, and if there were two more combat divisions, there would be no such problems, but Liu Zhaoji also knew that the production capacity of the Guazhou Arsenal was limited, and if the production capacity went up, the metropolitan governor and the superintendent would definitely expand the army again.

Liu Zhaoji felt that he had thought a little far, so he quickly retracted his thoughts and began to think about how sure the three divisions would be to defeat Hong Chengchou's nearly 100,000 men without artillery support.

There were many kinds of artillery in the Qing army, and Liu Zhaoji knew very well that if only the mortars carried by the first division were used, they would definitely not be able to suppress their firepower, and besides, the number of mortar shells was limited, and mortars could only be used in emergency situations.

Just when Liu Zhaoji was about to make up his mind that even without the support of artillery, he must pursue the Qing soldiers regardless of the casualties of the troops, Gu Yuanjing came over.
