The sixth day of September in the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty.
Xingpingbo and Zhou Shixiang, the general soldier of Guangzhou, led more than 7,200 soldiers to enter the Sanjiang Estuary.
Shang Zhixin, the son of the southern king of Qingping, led the subordinate commander Ban Zhifu, the general soldier of Southern Jiangxi Kong Guozhi, the general soldier of Yingde Song Rui, the deputy general of Nanxiong Sun Yi, and the deputy general of Zhaoqing Tang Sanshui and other troops about more than 10,000 cavalry to meet the enemy.
Seeing from afar that the Taiping army was completed, with three phalanxes of infantry and hundreds of cavalry flanks, and a clear banner, Shang Zhixin glanced at Kong Guozhi, the general soldier of Southern Jiangxi, with some concern, and said to him: "General Kong, you Jiangxi soldiers take the lead in this battle, and you can be sure to break the enemy."
Kong Guozhi had already changed into a suit of armor, and when he heard Shang Zhixin ask himself, he hurriedly turned his head and said confidently: "The prince can rest assured, he can fight Taipingkou, and my sons are not vegetarians, and Chaozhou City was the first to be boarded by the last general."
Seeing that Kong Guozhi was confident, and the Jiangxi soldiers under him looked to have a higher morale than the Han army under his domain, Shang Zhixin couldn't help but be happy, but thinking that he had suffered a big loss from the Taiping Army because of the light enemy, he reminded Kong Guozhi: "General Kong's courage is commendable, but be careful, don't underestimate the enemy."
He raised his hand and pointed his horsewhip forward, "Taiping Kou has more troops, I see that my uncle is in the left formation, and the general will rush to the left formation first, I don't expect my cousin to sell his strength for the thief Xiucai, just wait for the left formation to break, my army will be pressed up, and the enemy will be defeated in one fell swoop, and the thief Xiucai will be sacrificed to my father alive."
"Okay, the last general will be set to avenge the prince of Pingnan" Kong Guozhi didn't say much, this battle was not Shang Zhixin forcing him to fight, but he asked for it himself, because Song Rui, Sun Yi and others did not have as many soldiers and horses as him, and this battle was a battle of life and death, let others take the lead, Kong Guozhi was not at ease.
In addition, he and the thief Xiucai also have a grudge against killing his brother, and his younger brother Kong Guoliang was killed by the thief Xiucai in Luoding, so he also wants to fight this battle to avenge his younger brother.
Tang Sanshui, who was dressed in armor, came over under the escort of his own soldiers, and immediately hugged his fist to Kong Guozhi, and said happily: "Brother Kong, this time you have to show the majesty of your Jiangxi soldiers no matter what, and also the majesty of our green battalion soldiers, so that the thief Xiu will know the power of our Qing soldiers."
Ban Zhifu looked at Tang Sanshui suspiciously, wanting to observe his true intentions from the other party's expression.
However, Tang Sanshui's expression on his face was very sincere, and his words were moving, so that people couldn't find out whether he had something to say or implied sarcasm.
But the more this is the case, the more panicked Ban Zhifu becomes, and he always feels that something is wrong, but the big war is imminent, and he can't find out what Tang Sanshui is thinking, as long as he can participate in the war.
Tang Sanshui suddenly changed his temperament, which made Shang Zhixin secretly strange and feel awkward.
But he didn't think about it deeply, he was afraid that Tang Sanshui would see that there was a chance of winning this battle, so he was willing to work hard, but this person would still have to settle accounts with him in the future.
Shang Zhixin looked at Tang Sanshui quietly, and barely squeezed out a smile, after all, people led troops to fight, and there was no reason for him, the coach, to keep a straight face.
"Brother Kong, it's rare that Brother Tang also cheers you up, you have to behave well."
Song Rui, the general soldier of Britain and Germany, couldn't look down on Tang Sanshui, and he didn't look at the other party.
"Brother Song, don't worry, I'll see the majesty of my Jiangxi soldiers later."
Kong Guozhi also didn't take Tang Sanshui in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Can Taiping Kou be better than Li Dingguo's soldiers, I think when we went south, everyone knew what kind of virtue the Ming army had."
This Taiping Kou is really so powerful, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, this time he must know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world."
In his sight, the Taiping army's large array suddenly moved, and Kong Guozhi was anxious to return to the army to supervise the battle, so he said: "Your Highness, the Taiping army has moved, and the last general will return." ” Shang Zhixin waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, be more careful."
After speaking, he added: "If the general can't break the enemy, I will ask General Song to deal with you." ” "It's fine."
Kong Guozhi immediately responded, and without looking back, he led his own soldiers to gallop to the town.
After Kong Guozhi led the people away, Shang Zhixin said to Tang Sanshui: "General Tang, you lead your troops to attack the right side of the Taiping Kou, and General Song and Deputy General Sun will attack the Chinese army of the Taiping Kou with me."
As long as General Kong's side breaks the formation, we will do it together. ” "The last general dares to disobey the order" Tang Sanshui said with a heroic face: "The prince can rest assured, the right formation of Taiping Kou has been wrapped up to my Zhaoqing soldiers" "Then I'll wait and watch General Tang recklessly."
Shang Zhixin felt that he still had to motivate this Tang Sanshui, and said a few words to cheer him up.
Tang Sanshui couldn't help nodding, suddenly hesitated, and said with a little shame: "Your Highness, it wasn't that the last general was unwilling to attack Shunde that day, but it was actually that his subordinates really didn't have the strength to attack the city, and forced them to attack the city for fear of provoking a mutiny. ” "Hey, how do you say that?"
Shang Zhixin waved his hand, with a disapproving face, he said: "The matter of the day is my fault, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, you don't take this matter to heart, after killing the thief Xiucai, I plan to protect you as the general soldier of Guangzhou to the imperial court." ” "Your Highness wants to protect me as the chief soldier of Guangzhou," Tang Sanshui looked excited.
"This son of the world never talks empty words," Shang Zhixin said unequivocally.
"Your Highness" Tang Sanshui was so excited that he was about to burst into tears, and repeatedly stated that he wanted to serve His Royal Highness the Prince with all his heart.
Shang Zhixin laughed, and encouraged Tang Sanshui a few words with kind words, and the latter patted his chest and led the troops to this town, wanting to break the Taiping Kou's right formation for His Royal Highness the Prince.
Kong Guozhi's subordinates have more than 2,000 soldiers, although they are elite, but they are all foot soldiers, in order to prevent the cavalry attack of the Taiping army on the way to prevent the charge, Shang Zhixin ordered Ban Zhifu to order a reliable guard and more than 200 soldiers to cover.
The remaining unreliable Han troops were all lost in the camp to prevent the Ming army and sailors on the river from landing and the Taiping army from attacking in front and rear.
These Han troops did not dare to fight against the Taiping army, but they dared to be the enemy of the Ming army's naval division, no matter how bad they were, they could always drag the Ming army's naval division, so that they could not echo with the Taiping army.
The large arrays of the Ming and Qing dynasties moved at the same time, and the war was about to break out.
The Taiping army was listed as four formations, three infantry formations, and one cavalry formation.
The left formation of the infantry army was composed of the Han army under the Pingnan Domain led by Shang Keyuan and the right battalion of the infantry army led by Guan Tianshui; The infantry army was composed of the pro-military battalion and the Han army under the Jingnan Domain; The right formation of the infantry army was composed of Hu Qili's troops.
The cavalry was composed of more than 100 soldiers from Shao Chengguo's cavalry battalion, Manchurian soldiers from the Suna Division, and more than 200 soldiers drawn from the Han army of Pingnan and Jingnan, with a total of more than 600 soldiers.
The war horses are all Manchurian war horses captured in the Battle of Shenwan, which are better than the war horses of the Qing army opposite.
At this time, although the Taiping army's position was launched, it was still advancing slowly, and it seemed that it was waiting for the Hou Qing army to attack, rather than taking the initiative to attack the Qing army.
Seeing that the Qing army also moved, but no army took the lead, Zhu Qinglai opened his mouth and asked Zhou Shixiang: "Marshal, which troops and horses do you say Shang Zhixin will send to fight in the front?"
The blind Li interjected: "It must be those miscellaneous soldiers from Sanjiangkou, it is a pity that Shang Zhixin dares to send his Han army under his domain to rush our formation, and he did not escort the family members of the Han army under his domain, otherwise they will kneel in front of the formation, raise the big sword, and see that the Han army on the opposite side will not come."
After speaking, he grinned again, "But it's nothing, they really want to come, I blind man will hammer them." ” Hearing this, Zhou Shixiang glanced at the blind man with a sideways face, and heard that this guy had only been in the city for a day before he ran out of the city in embarrassment, oh, not running out, but asking someone to come out.
It is said that his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk, but he didn't know if he had regained his strength now.

Zhu Qinglai was dissatisfied with the blind man Li snatching words, glared at him, and said in a sullen voice: "Of course I know that it is those miscellaneous soldiers, but who will come to Kong Guozhi first, Song Rui, or Sun Yi?"
"This" the blind man Li squeaked, he didn't know this question.
Zhou Shixiang groaned and said: "The Qing army in Sanjiangkou is the most Confucian government, if he takes the lead, he will be the one." ” Shao Jiugong nodded and said: "I also thought that it was Kong Guozhi's department that took the lead, and the Han troops under Shang Zhixin were not to be worried, but those soldiers under Kong Guozhi could fight." ” "No matter how much you can fight, you can't be stronger than the Manchurians."
Zhou Shixiang laughed, raised his hand and pointed forward, and shouted: "Pass my commander's order, and the whole army will attack" oshow7 t1706231537:
