Chapter 1434

After a full month and a half, Shang Kexi led the army to the border of Yunnan Province.

If it weren't for Li Qifeng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who kept urging him, he could delay it for another month.

However, at this time, there is no delay.

"Dian Province is ahead, let all soldiers and horses cheer up and take precautions!"

Shang Kexi ordered.

As soon as Shang Kexi's order was conveyed, a horn sounded ahead, followed by the sound of orderly footsteps from afar.

Shang Kexi rushed up a small dirt slope and looked into the distance.

I saw a large army coming from a distance, with a red background with a concentric sun and moon flag in front, and soldiers in uniform blue at the back. The carriage was covered with an oilcloth, and I don't know what it contained.

"What kind of military uniform is this? It's really pretty." Shang Zhixin said.

"What's the use of looking good in military uniforms? It's just a show." Shang Kexi snorted coldly.

He saw that the army in front of him was only equipped with short knives, no spears or bows at all, let alone armor.

In his opinion, as long as one round of arrow rain from one's own side, another round of charge can defeat the opponent.

"If I had known that the Ming army had such virtues, I wouldn't have been so careful on the road."

Shang Kexi was a little annoyed at the fact that she was too careful before.

"Pass down the order, line up and fight the Ming army!"

Shang Kexi shouted in high spirits.

Accompanied by Shang Kexi's order, his soldiers lined up, preparing for a decisive battle with the Ming army.

Seeing the gratifying army on the opposite side split apart, Mu Jiansheng, the chief general of the Ming army, sneered.

"Dare to fight our army? Then I will show you how powerful the Thunder Cannon is. Line up!"

Following Mu Jiansheng's order, the second, third, and fourth Grenadier Corps under his command began to form.

The Independent Cavalry Corps quietly bypassed the flanks, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

The army is ready and slowly advancing.

Watching Ming Jun remove the black-painted cylinders from the cart, fix them on the cart frame, and slowly approach him, Shang Kexi was puzzled.

He has never seen this kind of formation in decades of fighting.

To be on the safe side, he asked the army to wait in place to see what the Ming army was going to do.

At the same time, he made the archers ready. As soon as they entered the range, they would shoot all the arrows and shoot the Ming army into a sieve.

As a result, the Ming army stopped three hundred meters away from him, and the gunner holding the torch directly lit the torch.

Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening roar.

Boom, boom, boom!

Thunder cannons roared, and thousands of explosives flew into the queue of Shang Kexi's army.

After that, the stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky.

The front half of the army formation was directly destroyed, and there were almost no complete corpses in the range of the explosion.

Outside the explosion range, many soldiers were injured because of the splashing of corpses.

"Advance ten meters!"

Mu Jiansheng shouted.

The flag bearer beside him kept waving the flag to convey the order.

The Grenadier Corps advanced ten meters to reload the explosive packs.

"fire!"

Boom!

There was another series of explosions, and the Qing army, who hadn't recovered from the explosions, was blown up again.

"Advance!"

The Grenadier regiment continued to advance.

Being bombed twice in succession caused Shang Kexi to directly lose one-third of his troops.

The rest of the people were even more frightened

gutted.

They scrambled to turn around and run away.

"Run! The Ming army has demon skills."

"The Dragon King has manifested himself!"

"Demons, there are demons!"

Shang Ke's army retreated like a tide.

Even the supervising team couldn't do anything. They were surrounded by the army and rushed back.

"how so?"

Shang Kexi was stunned to see the army under him retreating directly.

It never occurred to him that the army that had been fighting south and north for more than ten years would be defeated by the Ming army in a single encounter.

Moreover, it collapsed so thoroughly.

The most important thing is that until now, he still doesn't know how he lost.

What the hell are those dark cylinders.

Is it really a magic weapon of the fairy family?

"Boss, let's go."

Shang Kexi fled the hill in a daze and was escorted by his own soldiers, retreating backwards.

"Retreating so quickly? It really doesn't matter."

Mu Jiansheng sneered.

"Order, the army will continue to move forward, according to His Highness's will, to attack Guangdong and Guangxi!"

Dududu-

The melodious horn sounded, and the army changed its array and continued to move forward.

The cavalry regiment is scattered around, monitoring the surrounding movement.

Li Qifeng, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was marching behind with a large army at this time.

He has already received the news of the horse inspection, and Shang Kexi has already encountered the Ming army.

"I don't know how much strength Shang Kexi still has. If I can use the hands of the Ming army to consume it, that would be great. It can cut off a serious problem of the imperial court."

Li Qifeng thought to himself.

Just when he was thinking about what the war could look like.

Suddenly heard shouts from the front, and then saw a large number of rout soldiers running from afar.

At this time, the second wave of scouts came back.

"Governor, King Pingnan has lost!"

"How is it possible?" Li Qifeng couldn't believe it.

"Is Shang Kexi a pig? How could an army of hundreds of thousands be defeated so quickly? Even if they were all pigs, the Ming army would not be able to break through the defense line so quickly."

"Governor, King Pingnan is indeed defeated. The defeated army is coming soon. Please make a decision early."

"Hiss—" Li Qifeng gasped.

He knew he was now at a point of life and death.

If this matter is not handled well, the head may have to move.

He now has two ways, one is to retreat with the army, withdraw dozens of miles, enter the city, rectify the army horses, gather the remnants of the army, and plan for the future.

But if Oboi finds out about this, and retreats dozens of miles without fighting, he may be charged with fear of war and death, and the feathers on his head must be removed, or even I myself have to be escorted to the capital for questioning.

After thinking about the consequences of retreating, Li Qifeng gritted his teeth: "The army spread out, stop the routs, and let them fight back. If not, don't blame my lord for being ruthless. All the archers are ready, and the routs dare to charge within 100 steps of the formation. , shoot directly!"

"yes!"

Following Li Qifeng's order, the Qing Army of the Green Camp formed their formation.

"Order of the governor, you are afraid of war and death, and pretend to be the sons of the Qing Dynasty. Immediately kill the general and go back to make atonement, otherwise the military law is ruthless, and you will definitely be executed."

The orderly shouted to the broken soldiers.

But the rout soldiers were scared out of their wits at this time, how dare they go back, they still ran forward desperately.

Seeing the rout soldiers getting closer, Li Qifeng gritted his teeth: "Fire the arrow!"

whoosh whoosh—

Arrows rained down.
