To tell the truth, since Kong Youde was killed, Geng Zhongming still has a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and he is also a little afraid of the Wei army.

Jin Yuhe suggested that he take his men back into the city, which was undoubtedly a safe approach, but the problem was that he sent information to Shang Kexi and Duoduo, saying that Gao Yihuan's departure from Wuguan was equivalent to sending a false information, presumably the main force of the Qing army attacking southern Henan would not pay attention to his flanks.

At this time, not to mention tens of thousands of Wei troops, I am afraid that there are only 10,000 people, and it is a very terrifying thing to suddenly appear from the flank.

Therefore, he must block it, so that Shang Kexi and Duoduo have time to transfer troops, protect the grain and grass that should protect the grain and grass, protect the Chinese army who should protect the Chinese army, in short, be prepared to deal with the enemy army.

If the main force goes forward, but the commander stays in the rear, there is no army around to protect him, and he is killed at once, then it will be a joke, and it will be too unjust.

At that moment, Geng Zhongming ordered that people quickly inform Luoyang to strengthen the defense to prevent the Wei army from breaking through and attacking the city, and at the same time sent people to inform Shang Kexi and Duoduo that the situation had changed, and a Wei army went out of Tongguan and killed in northern Henan, probably to outflank the flank of the army.

At the same time, Geng Zhongming arranged the army and prepared for a battle with the Wei army.

Although the Wei army is not bad, Geng Zhongming is not muddy, Gao Yihuan can play conspiracy and tricks, but he still needs to fight in the field.

Besides, he has a large number of horse troops, and there is no reason why the advantage of the horse army is not used, so can he use cavalry to defend the city?

Geng Zhongming thinks that he is an old army leader, proficient in foot combat and horse warfare, and he still has ten red-coated cannons in his hand that are ready to attack Tongguan, and when he encounters the Wei army's artillery team, he can also be pulled to the battlefield and used it, so he is very confident that he will fight with the Wei army.

Although there is no guarantee of a steady victory, but the Ma army is in hand, and if it loses, it will slip away, as long as it is blocked for a few days, so that Duoduo has time to prepare, and it will be a new transfer of troops.

At that moment, Geng Zhongming tried his best to disagree with the public, patted his thigh and decided, "Command the army and set up a formation to block it." ”

In the city of Shaanzhou, horns, war drums, and police gongs sounded at the same time, and the camps of the Qing army inside and outside the city suddenly burst into an uproar, and 30,000 Qing troops poured out of the city and the camp, and advanced to the west of Shaanzhou more than ten miles away, and chose an open area that could give full play to the advantages of the horse army, and arranged the military formation.

Not to mention, Geng Zhong clearly has strength, and with the issuance of the military order, the Qing army was in good order, and soon formed a large array.

At the same time as the Qing army was arrayed, the roar of horses' hooves was heard from the west, raising a huge amount of smoke and dust, and the cavalry of the Wei army was the first to kill.

In the Qing army array, Geng Zhongming couldn't help but step on the stirrups with both feet, leave the saddle with his buttocks, and look at the Wei army coming from afar, and saw thousands of horses galloping in the distance, and the Wei army and horse army were at least nearly 10,000 people.

This made the Qing army panic, in their impression, the Wei army was mainly infantry and firearms, and the horse army was only about 3,000, how could nearly 10,000 horsemen appear at once?

This is actually a misunderstanding, the Wei army's horse army is indeed only about 3,000, and in addition to the Tiger Horse Army, there are also 6,000 dragoons, and the dragoon army is not a horse army.

Soon, the galloping horse army, seeing the Qing army waiting in the distance, Xu Heihu grabbed the reins, restrained the war horse, controlled the restless war horse, looked at the Qing army formation that appeared in front, suddenly waved his hand, and shouted: "Stop advancing!" Hold the position! ”

30,000 Qing troops were in the wilderness in front of the Wei army, wearing infantry coats, with a soldier written in a white circle in front of them, and a green battalion soldier wearing a red-topped hat on their heads, standing in the front, with swords and cards in the army, spears like forests, and green flags hunting in the wind.

These green battalion soldiers were relatively poorly equipped, but they were numerous, and they almost filled the front of the Qing army.

Behind them, there were thousands of Han soldiers wearing yellow armor, iron helmets on their heads, a lightning rod on them, and a neck to protect them, and the armor almost wrapped around the whole body.

This group of men and horses was well-armed, with knives and powder boxes hanging from their waists, and in their hands they held firearms and yellow dragon flags, and they were hunting and flying, but there was no sound in the array.

The infantry of the Qing army had more than 16,000 people, of which more than 13,000 were green battalions and 3,000 were Han army Zhenghuang banners.

On both sides of the infantry formation, there are 7,000 horse troops each, one is wearing various clothes and armor, wearing felt hats, iron helmets, leather hats, and holding scimitars and bows and arrows, and the other is a war horse wearing a horse armor, wearing white armor, a war knife hanging from the waist, holding a spear in one hand, holding the reins of the horse in the other, and the white flag of the Han army with a bow and quiver on the saddle.

Although the Han army was under a white flag and suffered heavy losses from Gao Yihuan, the Qing army quickly replenished it, and then pulled it to the battlefield, and it was still an elite.

Xu Heihu's eyes swept over the enemy formation, and when he saw that the other party was in full array, he was murderous, frowned slightly, and then pulled out the reins of the horse and went backwards.

In the Qing army array, Geng Zhongming saw that the Wei cavalry was three or four miles away, so he stopped at the horse, but occupied the position, and couldn't help but sit back on the saddle, and sneered: "The enemy army stopped so far away, it seems that he is still afraid of the king's military formation!" The king's army of 30,000 is here, even if the thief comes in person, and he will be held for ten days and a half months, there will be absolutely no problem. ”

Seeing that Geng Zhongming was so confident, the soldiers of the Qing army also had some confidence in their hearts. The Wei army's nearly 10,000 horse army stopped far away, which means that they are really afraid of us, and if you think about it, they themselves feel that they are very powerful, and it is indeed difficult to attack.

At this time, the Wei cavalry stopped in the distance to watch, and the Qing soldiers stood for another half an hour, and Jin Yuhe suddenly said loudly: "Lord Wang, the Wei army has arrived!" ”

Geng Zhongming's ass left the saddle again, and he saw that the west was dusty, and a black line appeared on the west side.

After a while, the black line gradually thickened and stretched on both sides, and then quickly turned into a huge carpet.

The generals of the Qing army saw countless figures and saw the flags covering the sun, and they couldn't help but change color.

After receiving the news that the main force of the Wei army went to Wuguan, the generals of the Qing army learned that after the Wei army left Tongguan, there was still luck in their hearts, thinking that there would not be too many Wei troops coming over, but when they saw the dense Wei army soldiers, the pace was steady, they arrived at the battlefield one after another, and began to form a formation, but they knew that they had miscalculated.

Geng Zhongming frowned slightly, looked at Wei Jun who couldn't see the end at a glance, and couldn't help but spit at the mouth, "Straight mother thief, Gao Yihuan won't really come, right?" ”

Seeing the Wei army team coming from the wilderness, crowded, spears undulating, and countless military flags hunting, Geng Zhongming felt the pressure coming.

When he saw a big flag in the distance, he took out the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, and squinted his eyes, "Sure enough, it's Gao Yihuan, this guy really likes to be surprised, they all thought he would go to Henan, but he ran here to find death." ”

Under the banner of Daxu, Gao Yihuan grabbed the reins of the horse and said to Li Dingguo on the side: "Dingguo, how about watching the formation with the lonely king?" ”
