More than 20,000 elite cavalry of the Qing Dynasty were almost completely lost, leaving less than a thousand people to escape, and even the brave and warlike prince Wakda was killed.

Daishan's eight sons, except for one who died early, had three sons at the hands of Li Guodong.

When Mandahai heard the news of his fourth brother's death, he screamed and cried and fainted on the ground.

Several Goshhas around him quickly pinched him, and after fiddling for a long time, Mandahai slowly woke up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Ergou! My eldest brother Yuetuo, the third brother Sahalian, and the fourth brother Vakda, are all dead in your hands! I am irreconcilable with you!"

But Mandahai never thought that Daishan's lineage was finally destroyed by Li Guodong. Because the old slave's other lineage could be left behind, the Daishan lineage was already a deep hatred for blood. Li Guodong certainly knew that cutting grass requires root damage. Since Daishan's lineage was already irreconcilable with him, he would kill them all without leaving any future troubles.

Nikan did not expect that the elite Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Cavalry would be so vulnerable! Looking at the Ming army brigade of cavalry in the distance, Nikan lamented heartbrokenly: "Li Laoer was full of tricks and actually used such tricks to deal with our army!"

The gunners of the Red Barbarian Cannon suffered heavy losses. They were just shot by three thousand scattered soldiers from the Ming army from a distance, and the remaining gunners could no longer maintain the firepower of the Red Barbarian Cannon. Training a qualified gunner is not an easy task. The elite artillery of the Qing army was concentrated in the Han Eight Banners Army for their use. Li Guodong specialized in using scattered soldiers to deal with the Qing army gunners, so that the Red Barbarian Cannon could no longer exert its power.

The plan to attack Yuzhou City was actually impossible to achieve. The gunners suffered heavy losses and the cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the rest was a bunch of infantry.

Continue to attack the city? The Ming army's 25,000 elite cavalry were staring at each other nearby. When the Qing army attacked the city with all its strength, they suddenly came out and attacked from behind and on the side. How could they attack the city? Maybe if they accidentally, the Ming army would disperse their formation and then be defeated.

But if you don’t attack the city, how can you save Hong Chengchou?

Nikan lamented: "Hong Chengchou, this dog slave, will die if he dies, but he has 200,000 elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty in his hands! If the entire army is wiped out, my Qing Dynasty will be over!"

At this time, Nikan could not withdraw his troops, and the cavalry was almost completely lost. If the remaining infantry withdrew, the Ming army would follow and chase him all the way, and the Qing army would suffer heavy losses. There would probably be very few left if they could escape back to the north of the Yellow River.

The only way is to rush to join Hong Chengchou as soon as possible, and with his powerful troops, he may turn the tables.

"Our army is only more than fifty miles away from Hong Chengchou, a dog slave. It doesn't take a day to arrive in infantry marching. Since we have already arrived here, it's better to go all out and meet with Hong Chengchou!" Mandahai Road.

Nikan nodded: "That's all! If our army retreats now, more than half of them will be lost. If these troops are lost, our Qing Dynasty will be really finished."

The situation in the Qing Dynasty was already very dangerous. Although Shunzhi sent people to the foreign vassal Mongolia to hire reinforcements, everyone knew a fact: once the main force of the Qing Dynasty was annihilated by Li Guodong, the reinforcements invited from the foreign vassal Mongolia would become enemies! The foreign vassal Mongolia would not bury the soon-to-be-destroy Qing Dynasty, but would only take advantage of the situation to rob. They would simply cooperate with the Ming army, and even join the Ming army, and cooperate to beat the Qing Dynasty to death.

Yuzhou City blocked the middle of the road. If you want to reinforce Hong Chengchou, you can only take a detour.

But where to go? There are ambushers on the right road, so go from the left, but what if there are ambushers on the left? If you give up these two roads, you can only go around from Runing and Luoshan. This circle is a big circle. The Ming cavalry followed and attacked from afar. When the Qing army arrived at Hong Chengchou, it would be good to have half of the troops left. All the baggage and cannons were thrown away.

Nikan thought for a long time and finally made a decision: "It's obvious that there is a Mingdog ambush on the right, let's go on the mountain road on the left!"

In fact, Nikan's decision just happened to hit Li Guodong's thoughts! In fact, there were not many ambushes in the mountain road on the right, and the place where the Qing army was actually intercepted was in the mountain road on the left!

Nikan's decision finally ruined his Qing army, and also made him and Hong Chengchou both die. The decisive battle in Xiangyang achieved the feat of Li Guodong's battle with the Four Kings! Nikan, Mandahai and Wakda were killed in the fight, Jirhalang was captured, and Hong Chengchou, the five Qing provinces, finally committed suicide but was sent to Nanjing Lingchi to be executed.

The Qing army gave up the impossible siege and gave up the camp before dawn in the early morning. The brigade of Qing troops bypassed Yuzhou City and took a detour from the Wang Xinding and Deyun Mountain area on the left to the Nanyang battlefield, preparing to rescue Hong Chengchou.

The Ming army seemed to have not reacted yet. No one was blocking the front and no cavalry came after him. Nikan's Qing army successfully passed through Deyun Mountain and rushed towards Nanyang.

The Qing army continued to march south. Just as the Qing army was about to walk out of the mountainous area, the scout cavalry in front suddenly discovered that a city blocked the Qing army's way!

"There is a Ming dog blocking the road!" The scout whistle hurried back to report.

"What? Is there a Ming Dog blocking the way in front of me? How many?" Nikan asked hurriedly.

The scout cavalry replied: "I don't know how many Ming dogs there are when I go back to my master. It seems that there are not many people, but they built a dirt city in the middle of the mountain road ahead, which just blocked our way!"

"A block of the way? Minggou Tucheng is built so fast?" Mandahai said in surprise.

Nikan said: "Normal, Li Laoer is good at repairing fortifications. Now the strongest defense is his creation."

"Prince, this bastion was not created by Li Laoer. There are many such bastions everywhere in Taixi Shenluo. The red cannon created by Li Laoer is also very common in Taixi." Li Guohan said.

"I can't control so much now. Isn't it just a small city? Just attack it!" Nikan said with a gloomy face.

Li Guohan smiled and said, "Our army has red barbarian cannons, why fear a small Tucheng? As long as the prince gives the order, we can blow Minggou Tucheng into powder in a few rounds of shells!"

The Qing army slowly advanced to Tucheng and stopped one hundred and fifty steps away from Tucheng.

"Prince, the Red Barbarian Cannon needs to be pushed closer to within two hundred steps before it can fire the cannon." Li Guohan said.

Nikan was surprised: "Why is this?"

Li Guohan looked puzzled: "Prince, I was attacked by the Minggou Poison Gun Cavalry for a while before. Our gunners suffered heavy losses. If the distance is far, I'm afraid they won't be able to hit it accurately."

To be able to concentrate targets at a long distance, an experienced gunner was needed. A round of rifled rifles from the Huai Army caused heavy casualties in the Qing army's gunners, and most of the experienced gunners were killed, which greatly weakened the power of the Qing army's artillery. Therefore, Li Guohan decided to push the Red Barbarian cannon to shell Tucheng within 200 steps, and at the same time, he also pushed the Red Barbarian cannon, that is, three-pound field cannon and six-pound field cannon, and bombard Tucheng together.

"The Qing dog cannon is being pushed up!" said a Ming soldier.

Wang Fuchen sneered: "Qinggou may not know yet, we have scattered soldiers here!"

The mountain road was narrow, and although the Qing army had a large number of troops, it could not be spread out. Naturally, the artillery positions could not be opened. Facing the Ming army's direction, they could only place six cannons at a time, which seriously restricted the use of the Qing army's firepower. In order to enable more artillery to show their power, Li Guohan ordered the small red cannons in front and the red cannons in the back.

Wang Fuchen picked up the telescope and found that the Qing army gunners pushed up all the cannons. The Qing army gunners were busy preparing to load gunpowder and shells.

"It's time for the scattered soldiers to come on, and hit him on the dog gunner!" Wang Fuchen ordered.
