Of course, he will not say discouraged words when he goes back, only say that the other party is allowed to fight, and at the same time belittle the other party's ability and enhance the confidence of the other party.

Zhu Youlang's letter was true, he summoned all the generals, talked one by one, sealed the official promises, urged them to work for him, and stated that Wu Zhenyu detected the enemy's situation, and determined that the other party's morale was low, Zhu Youlang said confidently in front of everyone: "Our army will win, and in the coming year, you can drink the Yangtze River, and you will be rich and noble with me!" ”

Saying that, General Ma Jixiang came out and said privately: "Zhao Qingcai may be vulnerable, but no one who dares to provoke the Southeast Army is alive!" ”

This time, the imperial army that came to suppress the rebellion knew that the Southeast Army would definitely participate, and the power of the Southeast Army was recognized by the government and the opposition, how could it be as unbearable as Wu Zhenyu said!

I have to say that Ma Jixiang still has a little vision, he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Yongli Dynasty, that is, the Jinyi Governor, the puppet emperor's army, which is very famous, one is not Wen Tao, and the other is not Wu Strategy, but because of "the skill of shooting horses".

At that time, Zhu Youlang returned to Guilin, Ma Jixiang did not avoid the wind and rain, served diligently, and flattered Zhu Youlang, and he shot again, imprisoned Zhu Hengxi, the king of Jingjiang, and seized the Jingjiang palace to Zhu Youlang to live in peace, Zhu Youlang trusted him, and named Jixiang as the Marquis of Yong'an, in charge of military power, even Qu Shiyun could not compare with his cronies.

Since he knew that the enemy army should not be humiliated, Ma Jixiang was in the march on the day of the decisive battle, his army was in the middle army, with weak soldiers in front and strong soldiers in the rear, while Wu Baoshun and Xiong Zhenchun of the left and right armies were Guangxi army generals, living deep inland, and did not know the strength of the southeast army.

They dispatched 26,000 men, 10,000 in the middle army, 5,000 weak brigades in the front, 5,000 strong troops in the rear, and 8,000 men in each of the left and right armies.

On the opposite side, the imperial army was 15,000 people, all of whom landed, Yan Le of the Chinese army, Liu Wenxiu of the left army, and Zhao Qingcai of the right army.

The battle took place in the eastern part of Guilin, where there was a large open area, which was the most suitable area for large armies to fight.

The Yongli army fought against the back of the city, condescending, and had a slight advantage, but at present, they also had a disadvantage in facing the sun.

The two hostile armies poured into the battlefield in a steady stream, and all that could be heard was the clamour, "Hooray!" "Hooray!" The voice was endless, and it was Zhu Youlang who went into battle in person.

He was wearing gold armor, but he was also a little imposing, but unfortunately, as a gentleman, his face was pale and his body was thin, and he didn't look like a victorious general.

Unlike Yan Changwu, he has been fighting non-stop since he was fifteen years old, he is a soldier among soldiers, and as soon as he stands on the battlefield, the morale of the army has risen gradually.

But in any case, Zhu Youlang was able to drive the expedition in person, which still played a role in boosting the morale of the army, and everywhere he went, there were bursts of cheers.

After all, the soldier's horse leather shroud, the superior can participate in the war together, share weal and woe, it is still worth the soldiers' lives.

It was almost 9 o'clock in the morning that the two armies were assembled, but they saw that the armies on both sides were like a sea, and the flags were like a forest, and the Xinming Army had 30 12-pounder guns and 72 6-pounder guns on the front, and the troops of the Central Left Army were all firearms, while Zhao Qingcai's army was mostly cold weapons.

It's not that Yan Le doesn't have guns in his hands, and the fleet sailors have a surplus of firearms, but Zhao Qingcai's army is used to cold weapons, and he is not used to giving them firearms suddenly.

This made Wu Baoshun, who played against him, very happy, everyone is a cold weapon, there are many soldiers, and they look good.

Compared with the Xinming Army, the Yongli Army did not have many firearms, with a total of about 3,000 people, scattered among the three armies.

Among the two Chinas, the Southeast Army is an all-firearms army, while the Xinming Army is a border army and the provincial army with firearms, and the rest of the armies are mostly cold weapons.

Firearms are expensive, and the new Ming army has not yet been able to make them fully firearms.

Everyone doesn't have many horses, the south has always been short of horses, Ma Jixiang has a thousand horses in his hands, which is very remarkable, and the new Ming army only has 300 horses.

The two formations were in a circle, but they saw the prancing horse in the Yongli army drop the gun and rushed out, he brandished the red tassel gun and shouted: "Bah! My emperor's general Gan Futian is also, that thief went up to beg for death? ”

He ran back and forth in the middle, shouting three times in a row.

Fighter?!

The generals of the Xinming Army are a little uneasy, because they are used to using firearms, firearms are good, where to fight, as long as the ammunition is sufficient, it can be hit for a day, and the power is also great, and a small lead bullet into the human body is a big hole.

Although the bow and arrow look scary, if you don't hit the vital point, you can basically save it, as for cold weapon combat, after fighting for a while, everyone will be tired and difficult to last.

Buckshot, on the other hand, often has to be amputated even if it misses the vital point, even if it hits the arms and thighs.

It is powerful and easy to use, everyone has practiced firearms, and many people have left their martial arts behind!

At present, the other party is coming to fight, of course, if you don't practice with him, you will directly advance with musketeers, and fire ten thousand guns at once, let him be a hero, three heads and six arms, and he will also die.

However, the other party invited to fight alone, and if he didn't face it, he really weakened his reputation.

Gan Futian shouted, Yan Le watched the other party show off his might there, and all the generals around him lowered their heads when they saw him, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Firearms are good, but everyone's heads-up ability has been seriously reduced.

Even he himself knew that he had practiced a lot of cold weapon kung fu before, but now he mainly did body calcination, and his liver was not moving.

The left army of the party was drummed up, rode out on horseback, and shouted: "I'll kill you!" "Look at it, it's Liu Wenxiu!

Yan Le secretly complained, he really didn't have any fighting talents, and he wanted to use one of the main generals, in case he had three longs and two shorts, it would greatly reduce the morale of the army.

Seeing Liu Wenxiu galloping with a spear in his hand, Gan Futian's voice was three points weaker, his eyes were sharp, and he saw that the spear held by Liu Wenxiu was cast in iron, compared to Gan Futian's spear made of ash wood, the weight was already above him, and Liu Wenxiu wielded a weight, obviously a master.

The two of them passed their names and started fighting immediately, and as soon as they fought, Gan Futian complained bitterly!

He tried his best to attack, wanting to use a fast attack to make the opponent's heavy weapons exhausted, but he didn't expect the other party to react well, the iron gun took a short line, and the guns came and went, and he couldn't attack at all.

Liu Wenxiu competed with both hands, his strength was everywhere, and he shook the spear in Gan Futian's hand and flew out, and before Gan Futian had time to react, Liu Wenxiu shot casually and pouted his chest!

The head of the gun retracted, Gan Futian's eyes were incredulous at first, and then he lost his light and fell to the ground immediately.

Liu Wenxiu laughed and said: "I haven't been addicted to it, and you will fall!" ”

"Who dares to come again!" Liu Wenxiu shouted.

"I'll accompany you!" A general in the Yongli army said sharply, holding a Daguan knife, and went straight to Liu Wenxiu.

But it is the general Shen Guanghua, who is a newly recruited warrior, who has defeated more than a dozen samurai in the military exercise, Zhu Youlang Jiazhi, rewarded him with a guerrilla rank, which is not low, you know, the pirate leader originally defected to the official army, but it was just a "Fujian coastal defense guerrilla".

Seeing him coming, Liu Wenxiu rode his horse and "fled?" ”

He didn't fight, turned back to the battle, and fled as if looking at the wind, which surprised the Xinming army and caused Shen Guanghua to laugh wildly.

Soon, Shen Guanghua couldn't laugh out loud!
