Wu Sangui still had doubts, but the cannons were fired and spies sent, which showed that there were no Ming army ambush in Mopan Mountain. Zhao Butai and Shangshan, the two Manzhou military supervisors, urged him to advance. If he still did not order an advance, he might be suspected of him. As a last resort, Wu Sangui had to order an advance.

In the dense forest of Mopan Mountain in the distance, seeing that the Qing army finally headed towards the ambush circle, King Li Dingguo of Jin breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

There were tens of thousands of Qing troops pursuing him, while Li Dingguo had only 6,000 soldiers under his command, and each ambush was only 2,000 soldiers. However, Li Dingguo was not worried at all that too little force would lead to the failure of the ambush, because these 6,000 soldiers were all elite soldiers who followed him to fight south and north, and each of them was an elite soldier who could serve as ten!

With elite soldiers and geographical advantages, Li Dingguo believes that the heaven will pay off. He will severely inflict on the Qing army in Mopan Mountain, changing the declining situation since the Qing army entered the southwest!

After the 4,000 Green Camp soldiers who were vanguards entered the mountains, Wu Sangui was worried, but the worry did not happen, and they were not attacked by any ambush.

Then, under the urging of Zhao Butai, Shang Shan and others, all the Qing troops entered Mopan Mountain. Walking in front were Wu Sangui's soldiers, and the second son-in-law Hu Guozhu led people in front. Then Manzhou's commander Manchu Mangutu, Nexing Ge, Gushan Ezhen Sharibu and other Manzhou soldiers also entered the ambush circle.

There are not many people walking on the sheep-intestine path of Mopan Mountain. Tens of thousands of troops want to pass Mopan Mountain, and it is impossible to have a day. So Wu Sangui ordered people to set up camp at the foot of the mountain and wait for the troops and horses to pass in the tent.

He said he was waiting, but Wu Sangui was still worried. He went out of the tent to climb high and looked at him, fearing that the Ming army's ambush suddenly broke out.

I don’t know how many times I came out to see the account, but a personal guard suddenly came to report that he had caught a spy from the Ming army.

Captured a spy from the Ming army?!

Wu Sangui was shocked. Since there were no ambush here, how could there be spies from the Ming army? Could it be that Li Dingguo still set up an ambush in the mountains?

Thinking of this, Wu Sangui was very anxious and hurried to see the spy. The bound Ming army spy saw Wu Sangui from afar, suddenly broke free from the Qing soldiers who were pressing him, stepped forward a few steps and knelt in front of Wu Sangui and shouted: "Pingxi King, there are ambushes in the mountains!"

There are ambushes!

Wu Sangui was shocked, but the spy shouted: "King Pingxi, I am Lu Guisheng, the minister of Dali Temple in the Ming Dynasty!"

The spy from the Ming army was not a small soldier, but Lu Guisheng, the minister of Dali Temple in Yongli regime. He was desperate about his future and was afraid of death. After he learned that the King of Jin set up an ambush in Mopan Mountain, he secretly ran out of the army to tell Wu Sangui that he could advance to the Qing court with this merit.

Lu Guisheng pointed out to Wu Sangui that the Qing army had entered the ambush circle. When Wu Sangui heard this, he was shocked and sent an order to stop advancing. The troops retreated quickly and ordered the cavalry to dismount, hang on foot, and search for the ambush. At the same time, he ordered the artillery to aim at the bushes in the ditch and wild trees, and the archers shot fiercely with arrows. For a moment, the rain of arrows and cannons on both sides was raining.

The Ming army's ambush was not allowed to order and dared not fight. They were left to attack by guns and arrows and fell to death in the forest ditch. Dou Minwang, who was hidden in the first ambush line, knew that the ambush had been discovered and had to fire the cannons to fight. The Ming army, who was second in abdicated, also fired the cannons and rushed out to rescue. So, the two sides fought on the mountain, fighting with short swords and flesh and blood. In an instant, the bodies of the dead on both sides were everywhere like a wall.

When the battle started, Li Dingguo was sitting on the top of the mountain. He heard that the number guns were disordered and was very surprised. Before he could figure out the situation, a shell fell in front of him, and the dust stirred up by the explosion splashed. Because Lu Guisheng surrendered and informed, Li Dingguo's deployment was disrupted, he could not command the unit. The Ming ambush was forced to go out of the battle and the people fought on their own. However, Li Dingguo still supervised the battle. The fierce battle lasted from the hour of Mao to noon. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and corpses were everywhere on the mountain.

Because the Ming army had been lurking in the valley for many days, the elite energy had been lost, and the lonely army had no strength to support it. At the end of the battle, the Ming army completely collapsed. The Qing army became more and more brave, and more than half of the Ming army was killed or injured, and fled everywhere.

Wu Sangui ordered all the troops to pursue them separately, and secretly instructed the direct generals to surrender to the Ming army if they could surrender. If they could not surrender, they could only be dispersed and not killed.

Seeing that the defeat was decided, Li Dingguo led the remnants to run towards Nandian.

In this battle, one-third of the Ming army ambushed were killed in the ditch by guns and arrows, and one-third of them died in fierce battle on the battlefield. Li Dingguo finally brought only more than a thousand remaining soldiers to retreat. General Dou Minwang, Wang Xi and others died in battle.?

The Qing army suffered heavy losses. Wu Sangui's subordinates, from the commander-in-chief, Gushan Ezhenshalibu, Zuzerun and other 18 generals, Tu, Zuzerun, and others of the state government, Zhakana and others were killed in battle, losing more than 3,000 elite troops in Guanning, more than 4,000 Han troops, and nearly 5,000 Green Camp troops. The Manzhou army also lost more than 1,000 soldiers. The Qing army suffered a total of more than 10,000 casualties, making it the first defeat since entering the southwest. Because of his contribution to informing him at a critical moment, Yongguisheng was awarded the official position of Linyuan soldiers in Yunnan to prepare for the road.

After the defeat in Mopanshan, Li Dingguo escaped from Wu Sangui's pursuit and came to Tengyue Prefecture. He wanted to meet the emperor, but he did not expect that after he arrived in Tengyue Prefecture, he found that there was no one in the city. After asking the people, he realized that the sage had fled to Myanmar!

The news made King Jin feel dizzy, and a mouthful of blood squirted on his chest, Shang Ranzheng's armor, and then fell from the horse, and then became seriously ill.

Emperor Yongli once again resigned himself. He did not wait for the arrival of King Jin, but ran to Myanmar when King Jin was fighting with the Qing army in Mopan Mountain.

Just as An Ning fled, Yongli fled from Tengyuezhou City late at night and rushed all the way to Tongtien Pass. The civil and military officials accompanied him were in pain, and many soldiers who were protecting the horse were scattered in chaos. On the 26th, he arrived at the Nanben River during the day, ten miles away from Myanmar Pass. The Duke of Qian Kingdom Mu Tianbo first sent someone to inform the Myanmar soldiers to guard the pass.

Knowing that Duke Mu, who was guarding Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty, arrived, the Myanmar soldiers were dismounted and treated each other with courtesy. However, when they learned that the Emperor of Ming was going to take refuge in Myanmar, and there were nearly 2,000 officers and soldiers accompanying him, the Myanmar officials asked the officers and soldiers to release all armored troops before they could enter the pass.

When they learned that the Myanmar side wanted to protect the officers and soldiers to disarm the weapons, the Ming Dynasty officials who were still following the sages unanimously accused them of disagreement. Mu Tianbo also disagrees, but Yongli agreed. For a while, the guards and officials all removed their bows, swords, armor, and weapons, and they all followed them with their bare hands in front of the mountain pass. From then on, the Yongli regime lived a life of living under the roof of others in Myanmar, thinking that the Qing Dynasty could let them go and thus remain peaceful.

The Qing Dynasty let Yongli go, but not because Yongli fled to Myanmar, but because thousands of miles away from the north, 100,000 Taiping soldiers in fiery red uniforms were saying no to them with their blood and life!

In Liuzhou, corpses piled up like mountains;
