Fengchuan was Fengkai County later. Before the Yuan Dynasty, Fengchuan and Cangwu County were always under the jurisdiction of Wuzhou in Guangxi. After the Ming Dynasty, Fengchuan was assigned to Guangdong. Fengchuan was undulating and continuous mountains, which was a typical hilly area. The terrain was generally high on the east and west sides, with high mountains and steep mountains in the east, and rolling hills in the west, with open at the north end and closed at the south end, forming a concave groove-like landform. Outside Fengchuan, it is the Xijiang Plain with a flat river, and now there are more than 200,000 refugees living in military farms, so Chen Zilong decided to defend the enemy outside Fengchuan County.

Director Lin from Wuzhou led a 13,000 army to advance in two directions, land and water, preparing to take down the gates of Guangxi and Sichuan in one fell swoop.

However, Director Lin thought it was quite beautiful, but his team was really not good. Fengchuan was only more than twenty miles away in Wuzhou. These Ming army masters walked for three days and set off in Wuzhou on February 15th. They did not reach Fengchuan County until February 18th.

At this time, Yan Liang had been waiting for Fengchuan for five days. During these five days, Yan Liang was not idle. With the help of the local magistrate, he blocked five iron chains on the Xijiang River, waiting for the Guangxi soldiers to arrive.

Yan Liang saw the Guangxi soldiers coming from the telescope and ordered the deputy commander behind him: "Send the order, the whole army will leave the city and fight the enemy in the open space outside the city!"

Yan Liang's words almost scared the magistrate of Fengchuan to death. He was not optimistic about Yan Liang's team. This army was wearing beautiful clothes, red and blue, but they were all muskets. The magistrate was very clear about the power of the Ming army's muskets. He thought that relying on the barrier of the city wall, plus Yan Liang's more than 3,000 people, he was organizing thousands of village warriors to resist Guangxi soldiers for half a month. Half a month later, the reinforcements from the state came. Unexpectedly, this young officer was going to go out of the city to fight to the decisive battle. Isn't this a death sentence?

"Mr. Yan must not be born. Fengchuan City Wall is strong. You can use the city wall to resist Guangxi soldiers. We will be victorious when the reinforcements arrive!"

Yan Liang glared at the county magistrate: "What kind of reinforcements? Without reinforcements, we are all! I will go out to fight them now. If the magistrate is afraid of death, he will not go out!" After that, Yan Liang led people down the city wall.

Fengchuan magistrate was so angry that Yan Liang said a few words. He was a juren after all, and he was contradicted by these Qiu Bas. However, seeing Yan Liang's many soldiers, he didn't dare to say anything. He just made up his mind and opened the city to surrender when Yan Liang failed. Anyway, he was all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, so it was the same to go there.

Yan Liang didn't know the magistrate's dirty thoughts. He took 3,500 people out of the city and stood in a queue on the Xijiang River. It was a very simple five-story queue. Since the Guangxi soldiers on the opposite side did not have cavalry, they did not form a hollow square formation.

Lin Jiading, the Guangxi academician on the opposite side, saw that the Guangdong man was going out of the city to fight with him, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Xia Jianjun, have you seen it? These Guangdong man actually want to fight with my army? Don't they know that what I, Guangxi wolf soldiers, are the most afraid of is field battle?"

The military supervisor Xia Sifu said: "Master, it's better to be careful. The strange troops on the other side are probably subordinates of the King of Chu. Since they dare to come out to fight, there must be something extraordinary!"

Lin Jiading nodded, "Xia Jianjun is right! Let Wu Jingbo lead two thousand people up and try the other party's strength!"

The Wu Jing Bo Li Mingzhong in front of him cursed in his heart when he received the order from Lin Jiading, "These stinky old ninths know how to let themselves die!" But there is nothing he can do, who called him Shi Dashen!

Li Mingzhong, a guy with his ancestors, had some skills. After Zhu Di raised an army and pacified Annan with Zhang Fu, he was then named the Hereditary Commander of Wuzhou, and was also considered a veteran general. However, the tradition of the ancestors of Li Mingzhong's generation was completely gone. Now Li Mingzhong is no different from ordinary landlords and wealth. He occupies thousands of acres of land outside Wuzhou City, allowing some poor military households to work for themselves and live a life of living a life of living.

This time, Zhu Youlang was the emperor in Wuzhou. Li Mingzhong did not expect that he would be the first to be Wu Jingbo. Most of the seven or eight thousand people he brought this time were his own tenants, and some farmers arrested in the surrounding counties, and temporarily played a guest appearance as an official army.

After receiving the order, Li Mingzhong led his two thousand troops to fight against the Guangdong army in a mess.

On the opposite side, Yan Liang saw that the Guangxi soldiers stopped three miles away from him. After a while, he saw a man and horse splitting up on the other side and rushed towards him, knowing that the enemy had begun to attack.

Deputy regiment commander Song Kai asked, "Captain, are these Ming troops on the other side stupid? You can still have a chance of winning together. Isn't this kind of tactic giving us a head?" Zhu Hongsan is now emperor, and his army has become a Ming army, but these new troops have their eyes on the top of their heads, and they can look down on the Ming army of these beggars, so they all call themselves the new army in private.

"These guys are going to try it out!" Yan Liang looked at the beggar army in the telescope. There were all kinds of people, from the elderly in their forties or fifties, and there were boys under twelve years old. They were wearing various clothes, less than half of them wore the Ming army's red mandarin duck battle robe, holding all kinds of weapons, such as darts, spears, big knives, and a few waving kitchen knives, probably brought by their own home.

Yan Liang sighed and said, "They will start fighting and grabbing the lively things in a while. After all, they are all my Han family. Pay attention to the local soldiers with more than 3,000 people behind, they are the main force!"

Li Mingzhong drove two thousand vanguards to the front of the Guangdong New Army. Yan Liang did not let the artillery fire, but just put the Ming army in and prepared to deal with it with muskets.

Entering two hundred meters, one hundred archers behind the Ming army in Guangxi began to shoot arrows, but most of the bows and arrows used were armaments produced in Wanli years. In addition, the weather in Guangxi was humid, and the bowstrings lost their elasticity, with a range of less than fifty meters. The arrows shot out were still 100 meters away from the new army and landed on the ground one after another.

When Song Kai saw the Ming army enter the range, he shouted: "Prepare, shoot three times per row, open fire!"

Each regiment of the Guangdong New Army had 2,850 musketeers, each of which fired three times, which was six or seven thousand lead bullets. The Ming army running wildly on the opposite side only saw a burst of white smoke from the opposite army, and their comrades around them fell to the ground one after another. These Ming army were all peasants half a month ago, and they had never seen such a battle. Seeing that the lives and deaths of the people around them were unknown, they shouted and fled backwards.

Li Mingzhong from the back team also knew his combat effectiveness, but he did not expect to retreat before he could take over the formation. Li Mingzhong cursed angrily and ordered his personal soldiers to kill the defeated soldiers. However, these defeated soldiers were already scared by the new army. There could be stopped by killing a few deserters. After killing a few people, Li Mingzhong had no choice but to retreat with the defeated soldiers.

Li Mingzhong gritted his teeth and came to see the coach Lin Jiading behind. Director Lin didn't expect to lose so quickly, and he could see clearly from behind. He was more than 100 meters away from the opposite side.

Lin Jiading asked with a calm face: "Wu Jingbo, what is my order?"

Li Mingzhong said carefully: "Order his subordinates to attack the opponent's camp."

"What did you do? I retreated more than thirty feet away from the opposite side. How did you bring the soldiers? The person came and beheaded Li Mingzhong to serve as a warning to You!"

When Li Mingzhong heard that he was going to kill him, he knelt down and shouted: "Master, it's not that his subordinates are not fighting hard, but the opponent's musket is too powerful. Most of us were knocked down before we even arrived. Please spare your life!"

At this time, the army supervisor Xia Sifu stood up and said, "Master General, Wu Jingbo is just underestimating the enemy. Why not let him make meritorious contributions? He killed the general as soon as he fought with the enemy. It would be unfavorable to the morale of the army!" Xia Sifu collected 500 taels of silver from Li Mingzhong in Wuzhou, so he naturally had to say good things for him at this time.

In fact, the general Lin Jiading also accepted Li Mingzhong's silver and did not want to kill him, but he was defeated in the first battle, which was really bad in appearance. Now that the military supervisor pleaded with Li Mingzhong, Lin Jiading was happy to do this favor. He waved his hand and asked his personal soldiers to bring Li Mingzhong back.

Li Mingzhong, who was alive in his death, kowtowed quickly and thanked the general for spareing him.

"Wu Jingbo, now I will give you a chance to make meritorious service. How do you think you will fight?"

Li Mingzhong cursed in his heart, "Isn't this nonsense? If you hand over those wolf soldiers to me, you will definitely win."

"Master, my subordinates have a plan to let the Han soldiers take the lead, and the Guangxi wolf soldiers follow the back formation. As long as they survive the first wave of muskets of the opposite Guangdong men, those wolf soldiers rushed into the formation. Those Guangdong men are the opponents of the wolf soldiers!"

Li Mingzhong's plan was really a disaster, letting miscellaneous cards block bullets in front and cover the charge of the Guangxi wolf soldiers.

The literati of this era did not regard these ordinary people as human beings. Now the best warlord for the people in the world is Zhu Hongsan. Although Zhu Hongsan is also trying to exploit the people, at least he can protect the safety of the people.

When Lin Jiading heard Li Mingzhong say this, he nodded repeatedly. Some ordinary people are that there are a large number of refugees outside Wuzhou City, and they will be arrested if they die.

"Okay, Wu Jing Bo, I will give you another five thousand men and three thousand wolf soldiers. If you want to retreat this time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After hearing what Lin Jiading said, Li Mingzhong quickly replied: "Please rest assured, the subordinates will definitely kill all these Guangdong men this time!"

Among the Guangdong New Army opposite, Yan Liang saw the Guangxi Ming Army retreating. After a while, half of them were split and they were about to rush forward, but the local soldiers wearing white clothes also began to follow.

"It seems that the opponent is ready to take serious action. These Guangxi local soldiers have strong combat effectiveness. The deputy regiment commander, after ordering, you can fire the cannon when you enter the range of artillery, three solid bullets will be replaced with shotguns!"

Song Kai received the order and notified the artillery company behind him.

Zhu Hongsan has always attached importance to the construction of the army's artillery. Each regiment has five artillery companies and ninety field artillery pieces. You should know that even in Beijing, there are only twenty-two red artillery pieces. Zhu Hongsan's field artillery uses advanced steel. Although each is only 800 kilograms, the range is the same as that of the five thousand kilograms of red artillery pieces, which is two miles.
