Hao Shaoqi's pioneer battalion opened the road in front of the mountains and met the bridge, so it was natural to go faster, and the vanguard battalion of the 10,000 Ming Army had already opened to Nanping County and joined forces with Li Yan's men and horses.

Nanping County belonged to Yanping Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Nanping City in later generations. This is the border area of Anhui, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and it is also a three-regardless zone.

Moreover, it is mainly mountainous and hilly, with ravines and ravines, dense jungles, and complex terrain, which is convenient for the use of troops here.

Li Yan's army of 200,000, after more than a year of campaigning, first won and then defeated, they approached Fuzhou and then defeated back, a round trip lost nearly half of the men and horses, only 1120,000 horses remained, retreated to the dangerous area of Nanping, waiting for reinforcements.

During this period, the rebels of Zheng Zhilong in Fujian repeatedly came to challenge, and Li Yan ordered to avoid fighting and hang high, no matter how the rebels scolded and humiliated them, the Ming army insisted on not fighting, as if they had not heard.

The abbot of Shaolin, the head of Wudang, and the head of the Kunlun faction, as well as the masters of the Wuyue Sword Sect, they are chivalrous people who practice martial arts, full of blood, even if they get the high way, they are unbearable at this time, and they want to go out and fight hard, unwilling to suffer from this nest.

To win is to win, and to defeat is nothing more than death. It is better to die standing than to live on your knees.

There are also Li Yan's generals Ma Bao, Ma Weixing and Ma Jinzhong, who are also enthusiastic, and they also want to ask for an order to fight to the death with these rebels, and would rather spill blood on the field, horse leather shroud, and not be afraid of swords and arrows, greedy for life and afraid of death, willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head, which insults the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and the dignity of the court.

Li Yan is worthy of being handsome, he can bend and stretch, he can be big and small, he is not allowed, he knows that martial arts masters can't beat others, and he has to lose on the field. Knowing that you can't do it, it's not a gentleman's doing.

Therefore, Li Yan issued a strict order, no one is allowed to fight, and those who violate the order will be killed!

In this way, they swallowed their anger, endured humiliation, lived like a year, and looked forward to reinforcements for two months, and the reinforcements finally arrived.

Li Yan was overjoyed.

What made him even happier was that it was Hao Shaoqi who led the troops, as well as Yuan Zongdi and Li Laiheng, of course they were all old acquaintances, they were all mixed under Li Zicheng, but now they have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and become a family again.

Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi and Li Laiheng hurriedly came over to greet Li Yan, Li Yan returned the salute, and the "three horses" around him introduced each other.

When Ma Bao was introduced, Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi and Li Laiheng felt that the name was a little familiar, which explained Ma Bao's life experience, and they suddenly realized.

It turned out that this was also a general under Li Zicheng, but it was not reused at the beginning, also because the young man was young, and he was just a small battalion officer in Li Zicheng's logistics battalion.

However, in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, Ma Bao stood out, protected Li Zicheng, protected Liu Zongmin, and now he was brave, and later surrendered to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and also joined Jinyiwei and became a celebrity in front of Chongzhen.

Now they have become a family again, and these generals tell their past feelings and see each other very happily. The past is unbearable, but God has eyes, and now they can work together again.

The soldiers of the two sides arrived together, and in the camp tent, Li Yan and Hao Shaoqi and the generals sat down one after another, and after greeting each other, they got to the point.

Seeing that Li Yan was worried, Hao Shaoqi and the others asked a few more questions.

Li Yan sighed and explained what had happened.

A few months ago, Zheng Zhilong and Ma Shiying colluded together and were ambitious to fight against the Great Ming Dynasty. Now they are recruiting soldiers and horses and training sailors.

They want to march into Taiwan, Taiwan now has the power of Hongmaozi, activities are rampant, after occupying Taiwan, they plan to use it as a depth, relying on the strait natural danger to confront the Ming court.

This is their back road, and they are expected to lose before they win.

On the other hand, they invited martial arts masters all over the place, needless to say Fujian, what Guangdong, Suzhou, Huzhou, Zhejiang, Taizhou, and even overseas, all those who were willing to oppose the Ming Dynasty were all pulled and bought with heavy money, and they bought hundreds of martial arts masters, and recently they have become a federation with the Gusu Murong family.

At present, Zheng Zhilong's descendants in Fujian alone have more than 350,000 troops, including 100,000 sailors. But they feel that it is not enough, and it is still there

Recruit soldiers.

But Li Yan is not afraid on the field, the problem is that Zheng Zhilong has invited a large number of martial arts masters, and only one Murong is invincible. This person is in his 20s, and he is very romantic, but his martial arts cultivation is extremely high, and he swept the masters of Shaolin Wudang Kunlun, and the Ziyang real person on the dragon and tiger was killed.

The martial arts master was defeated, and of course, he couldn't bargain on the battlefield of thousands of horses and thousands of troops.

Li Yan suffered heavy losses in the first battle of Fuzhou, losing nearly 50,000 horses in that battle alone.

Next, Li Yan retreated one after another, withdrew a few hundred miles at once, and retreated from Fuzhou to the Nanping area.

Zheng Zhilong ordered Ma Shiying as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, with Zheng Zhilong's brother Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhilong's subordinate Zheng Cai, generals Feng Chengshi, Liu Zeqing, etc., to lead 150,000 soldiers and horses, and claimed that 300,000 were chasing after him.

There are dozens of martial arts masters around them, Wu Shen, the abbot of Nanjing Bao'en Temple, and Master Hami of the Nanhai School, Tuotuo Zen Master of Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, as well as Ouyang Chu, a Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain, and the two immortals of Laolongshan, these villains are not dead yet, and they are all here this time.

The martial arts of these guys are unfathomable, and they are bad and pus-shedding, and Li Yan hates and fears them when he mentions them.

But what I am most afraid of is Murong, this person has a long flute, and no one can beat him.

Hao Shaoqi and the others laughed when they heard this, "Li Gongzi, don't worry this time, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty has personally marched and raised an army of more than 400,000 to wipe out the anti-Ming forces on the southeast coast in one fell swoop. The marshal Li Dingguo and his team will arrive tomorrow, and the holy driver will arrive later, and these anti-thieves will die soon!"

While he was talking, there was another burst of artillery outside, and someone ran in to report that the rebels were lining up outside to beg for the enemy and curse the enemy, and the scolding was too ugly.

"Ignore them! Didn't you say that if you don't fight, you won't hear it." Li Yandao.

The report grinned, "But they deceived people too much, they destroyed all the nearby water sources, not to mention poisoning, and they and pee in it."

Hao Shaoqi suddenly rose when he heard this......
