Li Dingguo's brows stretched slightly, and the news of a large number of Ming troops storming Wujiang Pass made him not feel anxious, but made him a little less vigilant against the Ming army.

As the most effective general under the command of Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo has always been cautious in leading his troops, and he has always been worried about whether there will be Ming troops coming from the direction of Loushan.

The current onslaught on Wujiang Pass proves that the Ming army probably did not choose to venture into Zunyi from Loushan Mountain.

So after listening to his subordinates' report that Wujiang Pass was attacked by the Ming army, he was still a little happy.

"The more fierce the Ming army's offensive on Wujiang Pass, it means that the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen has become more and more strong in seizing Zunyi, and the direction of Wujiang Pass cannot be taken lightly, and the pre-prepared 3,000 firearms battalion will be transferred to support you, remember to defend Wujiang Pass for half a month, after half a month, the Ming army will definitely retreat without a fight!"

After Li Dingguo finished speaking, in order to motivate his soldiers to defend Wujiang Pass, he specially gave 3,000 taels of silver in addition to sending 3,000 firearms to support.

And Li Dingguo's generals also believed in his boss's words.

Hearing Li Dingguo say that the Ming army would retreat after half a month, they really believed that the Ming army would retreat.

Therefore, the Daxi defenders of Wujiang Pass were not discouraged after facing Xia Wanchun's fierce onslaught for several days, and still stubbornly held on to the city.

The reason why Li Dingguo dared to assert that the Ming army would not stand up after half a month was naturally that his 5,000 elite soldiers were about to attack Tongren successfully.

But what Li Dingguo didn't know was.

Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty had already guessed that he might make this risky move because of his importance to him, and asked Li Yan, the left attendant of the military department and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, to prepare in advance.

The First Corps of the Seventh Army of the Guards Army had been ordered to be transferred back to Tongren at this time and ambushed in the mountains and forests around Tongren, while Gao Jie's troops had also gathered their forces and ambushed in the river beach valley of the Tongren River, just waiting for Li Dingguo's 5,000 elites to fall into the pockets of the Ming army.

Li Dingguo's 5,000 elites are indeed the elite of the elite, just like the wolf soldiers who showed their skills on the battlefield of resisting Japanese aggression in those years, these Sichuan officers and soldiers who have been accustomed to shuttling in the mountains and jungles since childhood are all wearing straw sandals and hats, carrying ropes and iron hooks, like white stripes in the waves in the rapids, and like gibbons in the mountains, they arrived in Tongren at a very fast speed.

It's a pity that such an army can only be regarded as the enemy army of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Tongren Mansion City is located between the Tongren River and the Xiaojiang River, and is surrounded by mountains and forests to the north and south.

Now, Feng Xianchu under the command of Li Dingguo arrived with 5,000 elite soldiers from the west, and after crossing the Tongren River, he quickly surrounded Tongren Mansion City.

As soon as they saw the emperor's dragon flag and umbrella cover on the city of Tongren Mansion and the gorgeously dressed eunuch brocade guards, these big western soldiers were excited, thinking that they were about to capture the Ming Emperor, and began to shake the iron hook, and they simply threw it on the high wall of the palace city and hooked the battlements and climbed up desperately.

At this time, the city wall was guarded by the Janissary Infantry Battalion of the Second Army of the Guards, that is, Zhang Tongchang's troops, and it was equipped with the most advanced Chongzhen Type 22 rear-loading rifled guns.

Zhang Tongchang fired the first shot first, and the operation method of the Chongzhen 22 rifled gun was similar to that of the Chongzhen 21 type, but because the barrel was rifled and the propellant used for the primer was a granular nitrification explosive with higher purity and density, so when Zhang Tongchang pulled the trigger not long after, the bullet immediately rushed out, and the strong recoil made Zhang Tongchang's shoulder move back sharply, and at this time, the bullet also directly penetrated the head of a large western soldier!

The whole process was in an instant, and the penetration of the rifled gun was simply unimaginable, and because the gunpowder fired was nitrified explosive, and the explosion was also very strong, the inside of the head of the Onishi soldier had already been shattered by the shrapnel of the explosion, and he died in a few moments, and fell heavily from the city wall.

This is the power of the Chongzhen Type 22 rifled gun, the shooting speed and sensitivity are very high, and the bullet has also become conical, the penetration has been strengthened a lot, even if it hits the city wall, it can make deep craters and burst sparks.

"Pass the order, try to hurt people without hurting their lives, and beat their hands and feet without hitting their heads!"

Zhu Youzhen knew that the group of Daxi soldiers in front of him was the current enemy of the Ming Dynasty, but he also knew that these Sichuan soldiers who wore straw sandals and hats, were short in stature but were as agile as monkeys, and had made great sacrifices and contributions to a national war in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century, and it was a pity to kill them all now.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen is not really a woman's benevolence, he also took into account that these must be elite veterans who have followed Li Dingguo for a long time, and the comradeship between these veterans must be very deep, and if one is injured, several veterans will go to save him, so that these Daxi elite soldiers can lose the combat effectiveness of a few soldiers.

As soon as Zhu Youzhen's order was issued, Zhang Tongchang and the others changed their shooting methods, and used rifled guns to only shoot at the hands or feet of these Daxi soldiers.

Soon, these Onishi soldiers all supported their comrades and retreated.

However, Zhang Tongchang and others immediately drove these big west soldiers with rifled guns, and the range of the rifled guns was very long, and these big west soldiers were not within the range of the guards after retreating a long way.

And at this time.

The 1st Corps of the Guards and Gao Jie's troops had already rushed over and surrounded all these Great Western soldiers in the middle.

"This, what's going on, didn't the general say that there are not many defenders in Tongren, and the Ming army is in Kaili and Guiyang, why are there so many defenders in Tongren."

At this time, a Daxi general said, and Feng Xianchu said helplessly:

"Needless to say, it is estimated that we are in the middle of the plan, the firearms of the defenders on the city wall just now are so sharp, we have killed and injured more than 2,000 brothers before we have even stepped up to the city wall, and now there are so many Ming troops, eighty percent of them can't go back."

"This official is Ma Shiying, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty Wuyingdian University, specially asked by the decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the thieves have also seen it, my army of 200,000 has surrounded you, and it is difficult for you to fly out even if you have wings, if you have a heart of repentance, you should quickly put down your sword and gun and kneel down to surrender, my emperor is benevolent and righteous, and you can read that you have no thief's heart, only the fault of being coerced by thieves can spare you and wait for immortality!"

At this time, Ma Shiying, escorted by Zhang Tongchang and other officers and soldiers of the Guards, left Tongren City and began to recruit Feng Xianchu and others.

"Don't listen to that dog officer! Brothers, kill with me! ”

Feng Xianchu shouted loudly, but as soon as his shout fell, a rifled gun bullet directly exploded in his head, causing him to fall to the ground on the spot, bleeding nonstop.

The rest of the Daxi soldiers were greatly frightened, and the morale of the army was suddenly completely lost.

"Kill the leader, it's easy to do next, tell Ma Shiying, let him shout again."

Zhu Youzhen blew the white smoke from the muzzle, returned the Chongzhen Type 22 rifled gun to Zhang Tongchang, and muttered in his heart: "It's still not good to pull the bolt rifle." ”
