Now, Li Dingguo and Shu Xinchen's more than 20,000 Ming troops are indeed not far away, and even the strikers have reached the edge of Jiulongyu.

However, they were not caught up by the Qing army, but they were deliberately waiting for the Ming army of Jierharang here, the closer they were to Kaifeng Mansion, the more cautious the Qing army would be, more than 20,000 people stayed here, they would inevitably rush up desperately and kill themselves, after all, once they let more than 20,000 people enter Kaifeng Mansion, it will be difficult to take Kaifeng Mansion.

Just above the mountains on both sides of Jiulongyu, the elite of the 40,000 Tianwei Army was already ready to take place.

In order to be able to lay the victory, Xu Yifan personally sat on the top of the mountain, and the artillery alone carried eighty, including twenty flowering cannons, which is all the artillery of the Tianwei Army of the Four Towns and Tongzhou Town, not only a large number of red-coated cannons, in addition to the cannons, there are also an astonishing number of shells, as early as a year or two ago, the Firearms Bureau of Beijing and the Firearms Bureau of Nanjing have begun to produce firearms at full capacity, and they have accumulated such a huge amount of wealth, and today in order to be able to win, Xu Yifan is also open.

Not only artillery, in addition to the two thousand muskets equipped by the Tianwei Army Tongzhou Town, there are more than 1,000 muskets escorted from Nanjing, and more than 3,000 musketeers are all listed on the mountainside on both sides, waiting for the arrival of the Qing army, everyone is holding back a breath of fire, these days, has been suppressed by the Qing army in the general trend, although there are also continuous local small victories, but the Zhending Mansion is lost, the Hejian Mansion is lost, the Dongchang Mansion is lost, the Daimyo Mansion is lost, and even the Zhangde Mansion is lost, even for this decisive battle, Even Henan Mansion has given up, aggrieved, as a soldier, the most aggrieved thing is to lose land and land, and there is no shame to see Jiangdong's fathers and elders, this battle, either win or die!

"Yifan, look, Li Dingguo and Xinchen have already arrived, let's see if the Qing army will take the bait, our scouts seem to have only found 50,000 Qing cavalry, and the rest of the troops are behind......"

Xu Yifan took a deep breath and replied: "Brother Chengzu, calm down, this battle, even if it can encircle and annihilate their 50,000 elite cavalry, it will be a decisive victory, in terms of troops, the Qing army has completely lost its suppression of us, now it depends on whether Brother Yilong can block the follow-up Manchurian Tartars......"

Xu Yifan and others quietly waited for the entry of the Manchurian elite cavalry, in the west, Zierharang gave an order, 50,000 elite cavalry rushed all the way, chasing down towards the Ming army, the distance between the two was only twenty miles, the cavalry assaulted at full speed, that is, an hour, had already caught up with the Ming army that was about to enter Jiulongyu!

"Order, the whole army will assault, and these Ming troops will be completely encircled and annihilated here!"

Zierharang was overjoyed, if this powerful Ming army was solved here, then it would be easy to attack Kaifeng Mansion next!

The army of 50,000, with the red flag as the vanguard, assaulted the Ming army!

However, the more than 20,000 Ming troops in front of them were not good at stubble, they turned around one after another, and the thousands of cavalry after the break were all bowed, their swords were unsheathed, and even the musketeers had all pressed to the left and right flanks, and began to launch a counterattack towards the Manchurian elite cavalry!

Feather arrows, bullets, flying in the air, straight to the Manchurian elite cavalry, the Manchurian elite cavalry at the forefront fell off their horses one after another!

This is already the periphery of Jiulongyu, the flat field is gradually narrowing, the Qing army is getting denser and denser, and the strength of the impact is getting bigger and bigger, in order to be able to fill the camp of the Ming army as soon as possible, give full play to the powerful combat power of the Manchurian elite cavalry, the Manchurian elite cavalry bends the bow and arrows one by one, and constantly releases arrows!

Although the Tianwei army and Nanjing Zuozhen were powerful, after all, the number of people was limited, and they couldn't resist it, so they retreated one after another, retreating towards Jiulongyu, and the Manchurian elite cavalry was in hot pursuit!

Jiulongyu, the reason why it is called Jiulongyu, is because there are nine peaks here, two large and seven small, mixed with a large valley bottom, has been extending to the distance, this is the continuation of the Songshan Mountain Range, the mountain range is not too steep, but also dense forests, forming a natural pocket.

It didn't take long, all 50,000 elite cavalry poured into Jiulongyu, and suddenly, the Ming army in front stopped, no longer retreating to the rear, and began to deploy a strict formation, waiting for the battle, and even a lot of soldiers began to lift the surrounding trees and boulders over, deploying an artificial obstacle!

Zilharang laughed and said, "Haha, damn the Ming army, you want to rely on these trees and stones to stop the pursuit of our Manchurian elite cavalry? Probably underestimate me Zilharang! Order, don't care about this, continue to pursue, and be sure to encircle and annihilate this Ming army before arriving at Kaifeng Mansion! ”

The Manchurian elite cavalry and the Mongolian Eight Banners and Guanning Iron Cavalry behind rushed forward again!

However, to Zilharang's surprise, the Ming army did not flinch, this is a desperate posture, just right, you don't run away, I will gather you here today!

On the top of the mountain, Xu Yifan saw clearly, a team of Manchurian elite cavalry had all poured into Jiulongyu, and as for He Yilong's 10,000 elite cavalry, they had quietly detoured back to the west of Jiulongyu from the north, cutting off the retreat of the Manchurian elite cavalry, and it was time to make a move!

Xu Yifan shouted coldly: "Someone, give orders, and launch an attack!" ”

Xu Yifan gave an order, and a trumpet sounded, followed by a dense artillery sound!

Eighty artillery pieces, all of which were placed on several mountain ridges, which were pulled up by the Ming army with the strength of a lot of power, and hundreds of shells were piled up next to each artillery, and with the launch of the cannon, the artillerymen all took action!

One by one, the shells were stuffed into the shells, and the fuses were ignited!

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

The roar of artillery rang out almost at the same time, and the cannonballs were all over the sky with a huge whistling sound and rushed straight to the Manchurian elite cavalry in the middle, covering all the areas!

When the cannon sounded, Jierharang had a premonition that something was not good, but at this time, in the reaction, the daylily was already cold, and the shells fell in the dense ranks of the Qing army, and the narrow valley gathered 50,000 Manchurian elite cavalry, almost filling the Jiulong Valley full, impenetrable, at this time, even if the Ming artillery closed their eyes and fired cannons, they could hit the Manchurian elite cavalry!

Twenty pounds of shells fell in the queue, blood splashed, even people and horses were smashed into meat paste, of course, the most terrible thing is not these solid bullets, but twenty flowering cannons fired flowering shells, flowering shells landed, and immediately exploded, the cavalry within a radius of two zhang were affected, and the center of the explosion was directly blown into minced meat, and those who were a little farther away were also directly bombed off the war horses by the explosion, and they fell to the ground!

The entire Manchurian cavalry was completely disorganized, and the first wave of attacks was eighty shells, enough for the cavalry to drink a pot!
