Tuntai was strange. Zhasak Belle of Korqin and Sonom, the third uncle of the Qing emperor, also noticed the large iron barrels that appeared on the flat ground in front of him. From a distance, the large iron barrels were as obliquely exposed on the soil like stumps of old trees. After rushing into the horse and looking at it, they found that the large iron barrels were standing diagonally in the mud pits. In the pits, there were two or three Taiping Guns squatting.

Confusion failed to make Tuntai and Sonom stop moving forward. The Manchu and Mongolian soldiers who were rushing could not turn around and run back because of the strange thing that suddenly appeared. The Green Camp and the Han army were also carrying weapons and chasing forward.

Wu Keshan also saw the big iron bucket in front. After searching in his mind, he was sure that those monsters like iron buckets were not the weapons of the Ming army that he had seen before. In addition, the Taiping Kou in front of him was driven away and retreated. He did not think that these monsters would be a trap, so the appearance of those monsters did not attract his attention.

In Zhou Shixiang's eyes, the Qing army that was rushing like a tide, whether it was the Mongolian Manzhou or the green camp of the Han army, were almost like dead people. If they didn't want to die, they would turn around and run as soon as possible. After all, the longest range of the conscience-free cannon is only 150 meters. As long as the Qing army is not within the range and explosion range, they will only be shocked by the conscience-free cannon and will not be killed because of it.

Zhou Shixiang had great confidence in the unconscience-free cannon, and this source of confidence was the description of the record he saw in the Military History Museum. The reason why he decided to fight the Shunzhi army was that in addition to the Ordnance Bureau, the timely construction and transport of the flying thunder cannons was caused by the Guanning Army in Yunnan and Guizhou.

The secret spies of the Military Information Department who sneaked into Guizhou reported that Wu Sangui's Guanning army had advanced into Guizhou, occupied Guiyang and other important towns, and mobilized troops to the Sichuan-Guizhou border. All signs indicate that Wu Sangui is likely to enter Sichuan from Guizhou. A piece of intelligence sent from Jianchang a few days ago showed that since Doni led Manchu and Mongolian troops to Sichuan, the governor of the Qing Sichuan, Gao Minzhan, sent someone to contact Wu Sangui, secretly killed several generals loyal to the Qing Dynasty. He pretended to be defeated and killed by the Ming army on the Jianchang side.

The information was obtained by Feng Shuangli from Tan Hong who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for a large sum of money. Tan Hong privately expressed his regret for surrendering to Feng Shuangli's envoy, and at the same time, he must have told Feng Shuangli that Gao Minzhan must have voted for Wu Sangui.

Zhou Shixiang judged that Gao Minzhan had indeed betrayed the Qing court and surrendered to Wu Sangui because he was now alone in Sichuan. In Jianchang, there were Feng Shuangli and other troops, and in eastern Sichuan, the army of Wen'an. Now Doni gave up Guizhou and returned north. Rumors were everywhere in central Sichuan that Wu Sangui had served Emperor Yongli. In addition to the restoration of the Nandu, no matter how he looked, the future of the Qing Dynasty was very bad.

Although Gao Minzhan was a Han army flag member, he was not stupid. Most of his soldiers were surrendered by the Ming army in the past, and they had long been unstable. When the Doni army was walking through Sichuan, they even caused these surrendered troops to harm them. Many Ming generals who believed Gao Minzhan's words and placed their families in Chengdu were called disasters by their wives and daughters. Can they be willing to do so? In addition, the Guizhou Green Camp that escaped from the mouths of Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, the Sichuan Green Camp could still be willing to work hard for the Qing Dynasty to have a ghost!

In addition, Li Guoying completely threw Sichuan defense to Gao Minzhan. If Wu Sangui rebelled, the Guanning army would definitely enter Sichuan. At that time, Gao Minzhan would be on the front line. He would be able to defend Sichuan. Gao Minzhan would only defend the territory well. If he could not, he would fall to the ground. Furthermore, Wu Sangui's subordinates and the newly recruited Daxi Army were all elite soldiers and more than 100,000 people. Gao Minzhan could be reliable in his hands. With such a huge gap in military strength, Gao Minzhan dared to bear it? He was afraid that even if he had 100 courage, he would not dare to bear it! So his best choice was to surrender to Wu Sangui. When the Wu army entered Sichuan, he would release the checkpoint to lead the Wu army to Baoning. If the Wu army could take Baoning to Hanzhong, enter Xi'an, and leave Tongguan, Gao Minzhan would not be the heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

The abacus was really good. Zhou Shixiang thought that he was Gao Minzhan, and he would choose to surrender to Wu Sangui instead of the Taiping Army across Huguang. After all, Wu Sangui's army was right in front of him, and the Taiping Army could not take his life.

Zhou Shixiang was very doubtful if it was because of Gao Minzhan's turnaround that Wu Sangui, who had been hesitating and waiting, made up his mind to enter Sichuan quickly. No matter what the reason was that Wu Sangui moved, it was a great threat to Zhou Shixiang. With Gao Minzhan's help, the Wu army took Sichuan without any effort. After passing the most difficult road to Shu, the Wu army had an 80% chance of winning in Hanzhong. In the future, it is very likely to go east to Xi'an and then leave Tongguan, and take advantage of the fisherman in the battle between Zhou Shixiang and Fulin, and first enter North China to take Beijing.

The situation really changed like this. Zhou Shixiang fought to death here in Jiangnan to make a wedding dress for Wu Sangui, so Zhou Shixiang decided to fight with Shunzhi. The purpose of the decisive battle was not to completely eliminate the Qing army gathered in Yangzhou, but to force Shunzhi back to Beijing and block Wu Sangui who would advance from Shaanxi eastward. Wu Sangui could not get a bargain.

Although the Tang King had ascended the throne as emperor, Zhou Shixiang never thought that Yongli was really willing to give up the throne and become the Supreme Emperor. Besides, this person is now in the hands of Wu Sangui. He just doesn't want to be the emperor and doesn't want to become a puppet used by others, which is also amazing.

The existence of Yongli is always a hurdle that cannot be overcome. If Wu Sangui entered Beijing first, the legal rationality of the Tang Dynasty's sacrifice to Xiaoling in Nandu to ascend to the throne and emperor would be weakened. In any case, Beijing's importance will exceed that of Nanjing. At that time, military troubles will probably increase sharply and political troubles will also increase.

Driven by these two factors, a decisive battle is naturally inevitable.

Zhou Shixiang on the tower in the sky had never left the Qianli Milestone with his hands. His eyes were full of the Qing army rushing towards him. But he was looking forward to the more the Qing army invested.

The Qing army was very excited. Can you not be excited when chasing the enemy? This excitement represents military achievements and rewards, and even the subsequent rewards of the female bandits. The Taiping gangsters washed away the entire city of Nandu, so how much wealth did they have to make? Even if the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers eat meat, the fallen bones can make them crazy.

No one from the Qing army would have thought that they would be defeated. The current situation on the battlefield was that the thief scholar, even if Zhao Zilong was restored, was definitely irreversible.

Oboi was only short of commenting on the Taiping Army that "defeated like a mountain of fallen". He was far away and could not find the monsters in the Taiping Army formation. He kept ordering Ge Shiha to mobilize all his troops and horses. In any case, he had to completely defeat the central army of the bandit scholar. It would be best to capture the bandit scholar alive and let him taste the taste of being cut alive.

Seeing his subordinates falling down one by one under the pursuit of the Qing soldiers, the Qing soldiers were still within the range of the unconscience cannon. The face of the general Zhu Qinglai in Xin Er Town was so heavy. Although he had no doubt about the general's conscience cannon that he could determine the universe, the casualties in Xin Er Town still made Zhu Qinglai unable to help but order the fire to set off the cannon several times.

In Zhu Qinglai's eyes, those dead subordinates were all treasures. Zhu Qinglai never thought that he was a person who could have no fluctuations in his heart when facing casualties of his subordinates, and was almost cruel, cold-blooded and ruthless. He knew that the casualties of Xiner Town would definitely be supplemented after the war, but he would definitely do whatever he could do.

But now, he could only endure it because the Qing army had not yet entered the range. He needed a conscience-free cannon to pile up the Qing army within the range of the Qing army.
