On the southern line, at the foot of Lishan Mountain, Wu Sangui led 60,000 horses to set up a formation here.

During the battle on the northern front, the attack of the Jin army on the southern front was also launched at the same time, and Wu Sangui led the mighty Wu army to take it out of the mountains and woodlands. An army of 30,000 horses came out from behind the mountains and forests and formed a formation in the wilderness on the back of Lishan.

In the original plan, the 30,000 infantry army of the Wu army was the defending side, but now that the situation has changed, they have also become one of the main forces of the main attack.

At this time, 60,000 horses and horses lined up with Lishan on their backs, and a life-and-death duel would start in the resting place of the First Emperor.

At the foot of Lishan Mountain, the flag is hunting, the flag is flying, and the spear is shining with a silver light in the early morning sun, which is particularly dazzling.

The 30,000 infantry of the Jin army lined up in the middle of the array, the cavalry sheltered the two wings, the chariots and horses were Xiao Xiao, and the large array was slaughtered.

Under the banner of the Phnom Penh Dragon-patterned Daxu, Wu Sangui was dressed in heavy armor, riding on a war horse, holding his beloved Portuguese monocular, and was staring at a long red line that appeared in the north.

"Lord Wang, it's here!" He Chengzhi, the general beside him, suddenly pointed to a messenger who was holding a flag and galloping over.

Wu Sangui heard the words and looked, not long after, the messenger had already rushed to the front of him, and before the war horse stopped, he jumped down, knelt down on one knee, and reported urgently: "King Qiqi, Your Majesty has an order, the main force of the thieves has begun to attack the front of our army, Your Majesty ordered, let the prince attack immediately, don't give the thief army a chance to escape."

Wu Sangui's expression was cold, and he waved his hand: "The messenger can inform Your Majesty that this king will destroy the king thief today to avenge the revenge of eastern Sichuan."

The messenger clenched his fists solemnly, then turned on his horse and galloped away.

In the first battle in eastern Sichuan that year, Wu Sangui almost confessed in the vast mountains and forests, and tens of thousands of his sons were killed by Wang Yan, and he almost had no chance to turn over.

Thankfully, Hauge and Dolgon turned against each other, and he profited from it and grew stronger.

Now that many years have passed since this incident, his strength has slowly recovered, but Wu Sangui has always been obsessed with the battle of eastern Sichuan, and he hates Wang Yan very much.

To this day, his son Wu Yinglin and brother Wu Sanmei are still in the hands of Wang Yan.

A few years ago, the Ming army had surrendered to him, instigated him to attack Haoge, and then the Ming Dynasty was willing to crown him as the king of Liang.

Hearing that Wang Yan specially found a teacher to teach his son the scriptures, Wu Sangui knew that Wang Yan must have done something to make their father and son break up, so he hated Wang Yan even more.

As soon as the messenger left, Wu Sangui looked at the army lined up behind him, and saw the slowly approaching red in the distance, and immediately ordered: "Command the army, meet the attack, and defeat the Ming army!"

As soon as he gave an order, the military flags in the formation danced, and the horses came out quickly, raising clouds of yellow dust in the gap between the phalanx. After a few moments, the 60,000 gold army began to advance slowly.

Wu Sangui's tactics were relatively simple, after approaching the Ming army's defense line, the infantry army rushed forward to disrupt the Ming army's line, and then the cavalry looked for an opportunity to break into the Ming formation, thus defeating the Ming army.

This is exactly the opposite of the previous cavalry attack, then impact, and the infantry watching the play.

The battle of Hengros City gave the Wu army a lot of inspiration, they combined with the experience of fighting with the Rakshasas, focusing on the analysis of the changes in the battle formation of the Ming army in recent years, and found that the original complex formation was gradually simplified.

There are two main formations of the Ming army, one is a horizontal formation spread out in a straight line, and the other is a shrinking phalanx.

These two formations have advantages and disadvantages of each other, when the infantry is opposed, the horizontal formation can exert the greatest firepower advantage, so the horizontal formation is better than the phalanx, and when it comes to cavalry, the horizontal formation is too thin, like a noodle, so he is not as good as the upper formation.

These two formations, one gram foot and one gram horse, each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they can also be converted into each other, which has basically met the vast majority of the requirements of the army.

Wu Sangui rides half of each step, which is equal to two cards.

If the main force of the Ming army went to attack the front line of the Jin army, and there were not many men and horses to defend the southern front, or it was about the same as his strength, he felt that he would have a seventy percent chance of winning.

At this time, the Jin army was advancing forward, and soon pulled into the distance from the Ming army front, and the strange thing is that the Ming army line did not stop arranging and preparing to defend, but also advanced forward.

This made Wang Pingfan, the golden general on a car that was pushed in the infantry army, frown slightly, and was a little puzzled.

If the direction of the Ming army's main attack is to the west, then the Ming army on the southern front should adopt a defensive posture, why don't they stop to arrange the defensive line, but continue to advance, are they afraid that they will not be defeated quickly enough?

Wang Pingfan's brows tightened, he squinted his eyes and looked at the Ming army front, as the distance narrowed, his vision gradually became clearer, and a large red figure appeared in his field of vision, just a preliminary estimate, no less than 100,000 people.

"Lord Wang, there are many thieves, no less than 100,000, and the number of troops far exceeds our estimate!" On the lookout car, Wang Pingfan suddenly shouted urgently.

Fighting on the plains, the field of vision is very important, under normal circumstances, you can only see the enemy in the front row, how thick the enemy line is, how many people, blocked by the line of sight, it is difficult to see clearly when standing on flat ground, so there are soldiers in the army who push the lookout car and move with the army.

When Wu Sangui heard this, his face couldn't help but change, he was riding on a horse, and he could only barely see a red line in the front row of the Ming army, and he couldn't see the back of the Ming army.

"One hundred thousand?" Wu Sangui couldn't help but wave his hand, and as soon as the big banner behind him stopped, the advancing Jin military array braked suddenly, and there was a trace of panic in the formation.

As soon as the army stopped, Wu Sangui immediately stood up on the stirrups, and the war horse was pressed and shook twice, but his vision was still blocked by the soldiers and banners in the front row of the Ming army, and he couldn't see the entire battlefield clearly.

At present, the goal of the Jin army can be said to be quite clear, that is, to take advantage of Wang Yan's eagerness to rescue Lintong, lead the Ming army to attack the front, and then Wu Sangui and Meng Qiaofang are flanked on both sides, and the Ming army's flank is insufficient, and the probability of defeat is very great.

The plan formulated by the Jin army is based on the Ming army's attack on the front, and the troops on the north and south flanks are relatively small, so that the effect of the flanking attack can be revealed.

Wu Sangui stood up on the horse, and he didn't really see it, so he simply turned over and dismounted, and the guards behind him retreated one after another, and the sergeants all bowed their heads in salute, not daring to look directly, and made a passage for him.

Wu Sangui hurriedly walked to the pole car, at this time the bucket had been put down, Wu Sangui didn't say a word, he went directly to the bucket, and then was pulled by the soldier rope and hung on the top of the pole.

He hurriedly looked north, and when he found that the Ming army was overwhelming, his face immediately became a little uncalm, and he exclaimed, "So much?" ”

Fang Cai Wang Pingfan re-estimated, "The last general just counted the camp flags, 100,000 is considered less, it should be around 120,000." ”

Wu Sangui didn't speak, his hand propped up on the edge of Wangdou and continued to look north. The total number of Ming troops participating in the war was about 200,000, and there were 120,000 people on the southern front, and the soldiers and horses were close to half of the total strength of the Ming army.

", fooled!" Wu Sangui smashed his fist on Wangdou and said angrily: "The king thief is cunning, and the main attack must be south." ”

The overwhelming number of people in front of him will not deceive people, and the heavy troops of the Ming army are gathered on the southern front, and they must want to flank and detour. Wu Sangui regretted for a while, if he had known, he would have built fortifications on the front line of Lishan, but now it is impossible to go back.
