There are more than 20,000 troops of Li Dingguo and Shu Xinchen in front, and there are an unknown number of Ming troops on the mountain, and now there are 10,000 elite horsemen of the Ming army coming out from behind.

The most important thing is that he only carried 50,000 elite cavalry with his own troops this time, and the infantry was all left behind, but the elite cavalry in order to march quickly, his own artillery team, also completely gave up, all in the back, he marched quickly for two days, advanced more than 100 miles, the infantry behind only marched 60 miles, and the distance between the two sides is now at least 40 miles, and the distance of 40 miles is enough for the infantry behind to walk with the red flag for a day and a night, and no one sent a letter for help. Who knows when they will be able to reach Kowloon Valley?

Now Zilharang has repented of his death, he knew that this was the case, then listen to the ancestor Dashou, the army slowed down the pace of the march, there are infantry here, there are dozens of artillery pieces of their own, even if they are suppressed, they will not be as powerless as now.

It is true that there is no power to fight back, and the chaotic cavalry of the Qing army, in the face of the attack of muskets and artillery, has already collapsed and fled in all directions, but unfortunately, the entire Jiulongyu is only two or three miles wide from north to south, and only six or seven miles long from east to west.

Even if you can't fight back, people's artillery can attack wantonly, and the shells can easily cover the entire valley, stay in the middle position, and be bombarded indiscriminately by the artillery, move closer to the foot of the mountain on both sides, dodge the shells of the Ming army, and be frantically shot by the Ming army's musketeers, and there is no safe place in the entire valley!

Rush, be sure to rush out!

Zilharang kept roaring, commanding the elite cavalry to constantly launch an assault towards the valley mouth in the west, but how easy was it to rush out? The 10,000 Tianwei army's elite cavalry held the valley mouth to the death, and the bows and arrows in their hands were shooting desperately, stopping the Qing cavalry from advancing.

Not only that, at the location of the valley mouth, there were 5,000 infantry ambushed by Xu Yifan one by one bent their bows and arrows, and kept shooting, the panicked Qing cavalry launched wave after wave of attacks, but unfortunately they were all shot back by the opponent, the arrow rain was too dense, even if the Qing army was side by side with more than a dozen horse teams, they were all ruthlessly shot back, there was no room for impact, within thirty steps of the Tianwei army's elite cavalry, it was the forbidden land of life, and it was difficult for the Qing cavalry to cross the thunder pool!

The most terrible thing is that the archers of the Ming army on the peaks on both sides also began to exert their might, and even continued to shoot rockets at some Manchurian elite horses, in the valley, the vegetation was lush, and the sulfur flame and even fire oil that had been buried were ignited by the rockets, and the fire was raging, and the entire valley was plunged into a sea of fire!

Artillery, muskets, sea of fire, Xu Yifan's move is too powerful, after a long time, not to mention the attack of muskets and muskets, just the smoke of gunpowder in the sky can choke the Qing army to death!

The two sides fought fiercely in Jiulongyu for half a day and a night, from dusk, until the afternoon of the next day, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, 50,000 cavalry were completely broken up, nearly a day, the muskets and artillery of the Ming army never stopped, Xu Yifan prepared more than 10,000 shells, 300 boxes of projectiles, and really put the guys at the bottom of the box out.

"Yifan, it's almost, it's been a whole day of fierce fighting, and now the Qing army has suffered heavy casualties, and the morale has fallen to the valley, it's time for us to launch a surprise attack! Surround them all here in one fell swoop! ”

Yang Chengzu said in a deep voice.

Xu Yifan nodded, and was about to give an order, when a guerrilla ran up quickly!

He shouted urgently: "Master Inspector, Master Inspector! Our scouts found traces of the Qing army's follow-up army in the west, and now the main force of the Qing army behind us is less than twenty miles away! ”

Xu Yifan's heart jumped, he came up so fast!

I'm afraid that I have already alarmed the Qing army behind me by firing ten thousand cannons, and they are approaching so quickly!

"What about the opponent's troops?"

Xu Yifan shouted.

The guerrilla general hurriedly replied: "There are still 50,000 or 60,000 troops behind, but the infantry is still far behind, and it is the elite cavalry of the Qing army that rushes up, almost 20,000 people, the speed is extremely fast, twenty miles away, I am afraid that it will not take half an hour to reach us!" ”

Half an hour?

Xu Yifan's heart tightened, and he shouted: "Brother Chengzu, lead two thousand musketeers to move towards the valley mouth, order He Yilong, mobilize five thousand elite cavalry, change direction, prepare to block, and be sure to block the Qing army for me a few miles away!" Fast! Command all the troops to launch a general attack on the valley! ”

Xu Yifan made a quick decision and commanded the Ming army to launch the final blow against the Qing cavalry in the valley!

Tens of thousands of elite Ming troops launched a surprise attack on the Qing cavalry from the top of the mountain!

Today's Qing cavalry can maintain combat strength of less than 20,000 people, in a small space, there is no way to launch a surprise attack, and the cavalry that has lost its impact is not much stronger than the infantry, not to mention that they are facing the elite of the Tianwei Army, the strongest of the Ming army?

Groups of elites of the Tianwei Army roared and rushed down from the top of the mountain, with spears and machetes in their hands, constantly attacking the Ming army, killing, killing, killing!

The Qing army, which had long lost any spirit, was even more panicked under the siege of the Ming army, and kept retreating, and had no power to fight back at all!

Zilharang knew that the last moment had come, and he would either kill him or wipe out the whole army, and there was no choice!

"Order the three armies, rush, launch the final charge, and be able to rush out alive, this king will reward fifty taels of silver!" Come on! ”

Zilharang personally danced the big knife in his hand, frantically carried out the assault, mustered up the last remaining courage, and launched the final attack on the opponent.

In the west, not far away, a cavalry is also rapidly approaching Jiulongyu, yes, it is the elite of the red flag, the only elite cavalry in the army behind!

The red flag of Ang Bangzhang Jing Kuqi is far away thirty miles, and he faintly heard the cannon sound in front of him, Kuqi's heart trembled, such a dense cannon sound, I am afraid that the prince has encountered a fierce battle, maybe the Ming army is being pursued, and it is fighting, after all, Zierharang leads 50,000 elite cavalry, no matter which Ming army is encountered, it can be won in battle, even if it is a large-scale Tianwei army, it can not fall behind, not to mention that now the Tianwei army is far north of the Yellow River, where will it run here?

Kuqi didn't care at first, and still moved forward unhurriedly, but when the scouts from the front sent the information over, Kuqi was completely dizzy, Jiulongyu, the Ming army was setting up an ambush in Jiulongyu, and was launching a fierce siege, and the situation of the Manchurian elite cavalry is now unknown!

Ambush!

Kuchden couldn't sit still, and shouted: "Order, set the red flag at full speed, gallop to the aid of the red flag!" ”
