Unfortunately, Zhang Wenxiu's smile suddenly stopped before she was happy for long.
After the sound of gunshots, the guards near him fell down one after another.
Firearms have a great restraining effect on cavalry.
In the past, the reason why cavalry could take advantage of firearms armies was their speed and mobility.
The cavalry attacks very fast, and the gunman often fires one round of muskets before the cavalry rushes to the side before reloading the second shot.
At this time, the firearms army without protection is simply a meal for the cavalry.
The cavalry can drag their sabers and slash without any scruples, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
The current situation is completely different.
The Daxi Army was trapped in the quagmire of the Ming Army.
Although it was constantly breaking out, the speed was extremely slow.
In this case, the gunman can fire the gun calmly and fire, while the Onishi Army can only passively take the beating.
The most terrifying thing is that the Ming army still shoots in three stages, which can maximize the power of firearms.
Zhang Wenxiu felt a sense of despair.
He has followed Zhang Xianzhong for many years and has never been in such a difficult situation as now.
Does he really deserve to die like this?
Zhang Dingguo on the other side has much better luck.
Although he also encountered reinforcements from the Ming army.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Lao Sichuan Army led by Zeng Ying was obviously not as strong as the Shence Army led by Shen Fu.
Zhang Dingguo seized the opportunity to pursue and attack the weak spot of the old Sichuan army, and actually made a gap.
Zhang Dingguo was overjoyed when he saw this.
After a long drought, there will be rain, and he must not let this opportunity slip away from his hands.
Zhang Dingguo grabbed the horse's belly and rode out first.
His personal guards also followed suit and rushed out like sharp arrows.
Although Zeng Ying was furious, she could only do nothing.
His army was the last line of defense of the Ming army.
After Zhang Dingguo led his troops to break through, the Ming army could no longer stop him.
If we talk about the experience of fighting against the Western bandits, I am afraid that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can find someone with more experience than Zeng Ying.
After entering Sichuan, the Xian bandits quickly took control of Chengdu and its surrounding areas.
But Xian Thief has no good solution to Sichuan East.
Zeng Ying and other generals' strict defense in Chongqing made Zhang Xianzhong frustrated.
Even if Zhang Xianzhong relied on his military superiority to capture one or two cities, as soon as his main force left, the Ming army would immediately launch an attack to recapture these lost cities.
Zhang Xianzhong was troubled by this but he had no good solution.
After all, he couldn't spread his troops too thinly.
The troops under his command are less than a hundred thousand, and it is already beyond his ability to control the Chengdu and Huaiqing prefectures.
If he divides his troops again, he may not be able to defend everywhere.
Later Zeng Ying and others came to Wen Anzhi.
Wen Anzhi came to Chongqing to supervise the army in the name of the new governor of Sichuan.
He has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command.
At first, Zeng Ying looked down on these miscellaneous troops.
In his opinion, a thief is a thief, and even accepting the recruitment cannot change this.
But later, as he fought side by side with the old Chuang army and the adapted Ming army, he gradually changed this view.
He found that these miscellaneous troops were really good at fighting, and their combat effectiveness was no less than that of the Western thieves.
With such a powerful army, it would be a matter of time before the Ming army defeated the Western bandits.
But as a result, Zeng Ying has fewer opportunities to perform.
For the sake of balance, Governor Wen assigned tasks to many generals, including Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu and other veteran generals of the invading army.

Zeng Ying thought that this would be the end of her life.
Who would have thought that an opportunity would fall from the sky.
His Majesty ordered General Qin Liangyu to conquer and put down the rebellion in Shadingzhou, and made Zeng Ying his deputy general.
Zeng Ying gave advice and suggestions to the old general Qin Liangyu, and fought steadily to recapture Kunming.
Just when they were about to report their victory to the court, they heard the news that two thieves, Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo, were attacking Kunming.
Zeng Ying immediately discussed with Qin Liangyu and decided to set up a chain plan.
Two thieves, Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu, came with elite troops and were aggressive.
And the city of Kunming is full of gaps.
It is obviously inappropriate to fight hard at this time.
They decided to outwit them.
First, they poisoned the forage eaten by cattle and sheep, so that the cattle and sheep would be poisoned after eating it.
Afterwards, they took all the people out of the city, leaving an empty city for the Western thieves.
After the Western thieves enter Kunming, they will definitely kill and eat these cattle and sheep, so that the toxins will be transferred from the bodies of the cattle and sheep to the bodies of the Western thieves soldiers.
It may not be obvious at first, but as time goes by, there will come a time when you die from the poison.
One or two, ten or a hundred.
There will always be a day when Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo cannot bear it anymore.
As long as they can't help but decide to leave Kunming, they will fall into the trap again.
The Ming army took the initiative to show weakness and led the Western thieves to pursue them.
Then they scattered broken silver and copper coins on the road so that ordinary thieves would pick up the money.
In this way, only Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo's soldiers were left to continue the pursuit.
This ambush battle was carefully discussed by Zeng Ying and veteran general Qin Liangyu, and every detail was deduced in detail.
Their purpose was to induce Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu to pursue them and fall into a tight siege.
In the end, Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu were captured by relying on their numerical advantage.
You must know that Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo are Zhang Xianzhong's right-hand men.
The reason why Zhang Xianzhong has become more and more courageous in recent years and even occupied Sichuan is largely due to Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo.
Among his four adopted sons, Zhang Kewang was very good at handling domestic affairs, but he was not good at leading troops in war.
Zhang Nengqi can barely be regarded as a strong general, but compared with Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo, he always feels that he is inferior in every aspect, and can only be regarded as a small character at best.
Taken together, Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo played the most important roles in Zhang Xianzhong's camp.
If he could be captured alive, Zhang Xianzhong would definitely be seriously injured.
Zeng Ying is also eager to express himself.
The Holy Emperor was in office and gave great trust to the generals.
Gao Jie and Huang Degong, these generals who were not trusted in the previous dynasty, all achieved great achievements and were granted the title of marquis.
Zeng Ying thought that he was no worse than them, and all he lacked was an opportunity.
Now this opportunity is before him.
If he can assist the old general Qin Liangyu in capturing Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Wenxiu alive and escorting them to the prisoner-presenting palace in Nanjing, Long Yan will be greatly pleased by the emperor.
Even if the first credit belongs to General Qin Liangyu, how can he get a big share of the credit?
Even if this merit is not enough to make him a marquis, it can still make him a count.
Even if it is not good enough, he can be directly promoted to the commander-in-chief.
Simply speaking from a position perspective, the commander-in-chief is the pinnacle of military commanders.
If you go further up, you can only make a fuss about the title and title.
Zeng Ying once thought that this credit was firmly in his hands.
The Western Thieves were surrounded by them on three levels inside and outside.
How could they possibly escape and ascend to heaven?
But Zhang Dingguo really escaped under his nose.
This is simply a shame and a disgrace :
