While the Qingyao army was setting up their formation, Zhu Heji's Jinyi troops from the three towns were also setting up their formation.

However, their main force does not need to be deployed far away from the camp, but can directly rely on the carefully constructed forts, trenches, and fences east of the camp.

This is the benefit Wu Sangui brought to Zhu Heji who was far away in Guangdong when he raised troops in Yunnan... Even though Zhaoqing is more than two thousand miles away from Kunming, when Wu Sangui raised troops, Tu Hai, Sun Yanling and others faced the world

The general trend and the general environment in which we live have all undergone drastic changes!

Originally, they could fight a protracted war with Zhu Heji in Guangdong, and it would be no problem to fight for several years. But now, they have to seek a quick victory... Even if they give up the geographical advantage on the battlefield, they have to bite the bullet.

Fight this battle!

The Ming army camp, which is located to the west of Guicheng City, with Lingshan Mountain at its back, Dinghu Mountain on its left, and the Xijiang River on its right, is just near the mouth of a trumpet-shaped terrain and is very narrow. The Ming army needs to deploy heavy troops to defend the eastern camp.

The length is only more than five miles and less than six miles. After digging trenches, building camp walls, and erecting wooden fences in advance, a town of 5,000 people is enough. No more can be removed.

Therefore, Zhu Heji divided the three towns he had in hand into three parts. Among them, the Jinyi Left Town commanded by Zhao Hongkui was on the front line, guarding the fortress defense line. Zhu Heji also placed two of the three artillery battalions in his hands.

Behind the defense line of the camp... sixty three-pound cannons (a total of sixty-four in total) were all covered with fences. They were placed behind the wooden fence early. The black muzzles looked like the fangs of beasts.

, quietly waiting to drink the blood of its prey.

The Jinyiwei Qinjunzhen commanded by Su Zhanhai were deployed on the second line to act as a reserve force, and by the way, guarded a river defense artillery fort at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Zhu Heji ordered the artillery of Qinjunzhen to be deployed along the banks of the Xijiang River.

In this artillery fort, there were a total of twenty-nine three-pound cannons, the artillerymen were also asked to install ten Zhuge machine cannons as backup, and they also prepared one to two hundred fire oil tanks.

The Jinyi soldiers in Youzhen, led by Lin Tianbo, had a harder time. After having morning tea, they climbed the mountain for "exercise". They climbed up the slope of Dinghu Mountain to the left of the Ming army camp and grabbed a good, commanding position. However, they did not carry the cannon up the mountain.

, the attached artillery battalion was assigned to Zuozhen, Jinyi's personal army.

Since neither side sent small groups of troops to interfere with the other's formation, the formation of both sides was carried out very quickly. After three quarters, the formations of both sides were basically completed, and the flags of the two armies were already on their respective sides.

In the formation, hunting was flying.

At this time, several lookout vehicles were set up in the Qing army's formation. Since the Qing army was deployed on a flat lowland, the generals of each department needed to use the lookout vehicles to climb high and look into the distance to take a peek at the Ming army's defense line.

.

Especially take a good look at what's behind the fence on the Ming army's defense line?

Tuhai and Zhou Peigong, who had become his confidant, boarded a huge warship together. Both of them took out their telescopes and scanned the Ming army's defense line. The miles-long defense line had regained its tranquility, and they leaned against the wooden fence.

Behind the bamboo fence, artillery and soldiers can be vaguely seen. Behind them is a long wall made of sandbags that is only as high as a person's chest. Behind the long wall, there are forests of spears and dark muskets!

Almost all Ming troops armed with spears and muskets wore armor, some with cloth face armor, some with Western-style plate armor, and iron ship-shaped helmets on their heads. On the left side of the defense line of the Ming army's camp, Dinghu Mountain

On the hillside, among the large mountains and forests, Ming army flags fluttering in the wind also appeared.

Regardless of whether they were on the mountain or down, the Ming troops in both places were solemn and orderly, silent. Even though they were several miles apart, Tu Hai could still feel the murderous aura coming towards him.

Tu Hai felt uneasy for a while. He knew that the army in front of him had only taken a year and a few months from its rise to this point... If they were given another year or two, God knows what it would develop into.

What is it like?

"Hey, why did the rebels set up an execution ground outside the camp? Who are they trying to kill?" Zhou Peigong seemed to have seen something strange at this time.

"Execution ground?" Tu Hai quickly pointed the telescope in his hand at the direction of Zhou Peigong's finger. At first glance, he was shocked, "Then, the one who is bound to be stabbed looks so much like the old King Pingnan?"

Tu Hai hadn't seen Shang Ke Xi for many years, but Shang Ke Xi's appearance was quite distinctive, so Tu Hai could barely recognize him.

"Then, that should be to kill Lao Pingnan King to sacrifice the flag, right?" Zhou Peigong asked again, "Who is the other person who was stabbed? Is it the son of Lao Pingnan King?"

"Let's take a look..." Tu Hai aimed his telescope at Li Chenggong, who was kneeling on the ground and was about to be stabbed. "I don't know... he should be the son of King Ping Nan Jing! This is

It's a father and son who went to the country on the same day to die. It's really respectable! The imperial court's posthumous title seems to be very reasonable."

While Tu Hai was talking, the sound of horse hooves came, and then Pingnan Wang Shang Zhidian shouted with a crying sound: "Zhongtang, Zhongtang... The traitor wants to kill my Ama! That's my dear

Amma…”

Tu Hai lowered his head and looked at Shang Zhidian, who was crying and about to faint, and had no choice but to tell Geshiha, who was guarding below, to put down Wang Dou - he had to comfort Shang Zhidian!

Although his father is about to die, his father is benevolent and righteous! That is the highest honor of being a slave of the Qing Dynasty!

But before Tu Hai could say these words to enlighten Shang Zhidian, thousands of Ming troops on the opposite side had already started shouting in Cantonese Mandarin.

"Ping Xibo Wu Sangui has raised his troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. He will soon raid Guangxi!

It is gratifying to be rebellious, but stubborn and stubborn, resisting the power of heaven, massacring the people of Guangdong, this is an unforgivable crime, today I will bow down the law and sacrifice the flag...behead!"

As soon as the word "cut" comes out, it means that the hand is raised and the knife is dropped, and the head falls to the ground!

What fell to the ground were two heads!

The unlucky Li Chenggong was also beheaded... He didn't even give his name.

The person in charge of supervising the beheading at the scene was Artillery Staff Officer Cui Liu. When he saw that Shang Kexi and Li Chenggong had their heads chopped off, he quickly called out: "Quick, quick, pick it up...Bring it here, bring it here, while

It’s so hot that I need to send it back!”

What are these words!

The two beheading men came right away carrying "hot" and bloody heads. The eyes of the two dead heads could still move! Shang Zhixiao and Li Rucai, who were kneeling next to them, started to cry loudly.

"Why are you crying? Quickly pack the box, close the lid, and send it back!" Cui Liu urged while taking the two heads in person, regardless of whether their eyes blinked or not, and put them into the morning.

He prepared two wooden boxes and then closed the lids. He then handed one of them to Shang Zhixiao, "This is your Ama's demon head...it's not dead yet, so hurry up and take it back.

Maybe we can also let a few brothers see each other for the last time!"

Then he brought another wooden box and stuffed it to Li Rucai, "Take this demon head...take it back and show it to Tu Hai!"

What kind of operations are these?

Shang Zhixiao and Li Rucai were speechless for a while - after beheading, they didn't show it to the public, and they rushed to send it back while it was still hot... What kind of rule is this?

However, Shang Zhixiao and Li Rucai did not argue with Cui Liu. They both obediently held two heavy wooden boxes and ran towards the Qing army's formation, shouting as they ran.

"Don't shoot, I am Shang Zhixiao..."

"Don't shoot or shoot arrows. I am a good slave of the Qing Dynasty..."

Of course he can't shoot and shoot arrows. Shang Zhidian opposite has already recognized Shang Zhixiao! That is his brother, and he is also holding the box containing his Ama - Shang Kexi is probably not brain dead yet, so he is now

Stay in that box.

In order to see his father for the last time, Shang Zhidian also risked his life. He rushed out of the military formation and went to meet his brother Shang Zhidian.

The two brothers soon met in the formation of the two armies. While crying, Shang Zhidian got off his horse, grabbed the wooden box from his brother's hand, held it in his arms, and cried loudly, "Ama! Ama! The baby is late."

Already..."

Shang Zhixiao also rushed forward and hugged Shang Zhidian, crying loudly: "Ama died so miserably!"

And Li Rucai, who was holding Li Chenggong's head, saw that his brothers and his son were reunited, but he was so old that he didn't even marry a wife. He felt extremely sad, so he stopped running and sat on the ground holding the wooden box for a while.

Howling.

The three people just cried in a circle in the center of the battlefield. At this time, Shang Zhidian's Goshiha also arrived on flying horses and surrounded the three people to protect them from the Ming army.
Chapter completed!
