In the big tent, He Dengyun was wearing a bandage on his head, and he hung his arm on his chest, kneeling on the ground, looking very embarrassed.

On both sides of the tent were standing by a group of Han generals including Wang Chaoxian, Ruan Mei, Dang Shousu.

It is already autumn now, but the weather in Guangzhou is still very hot.

This is especially true for He Dengyun, a general from the north.

At this time, he knelt on the ground, his clothes were soaked in sweat, and his lips were dry, but he didn't dare to move for a moment.

The two battalions of soldiers, nearly 6,000, were actually defeated by a group of mud legs, which really made Zhao Ming angry.

This can be said to be the first failure that Zhao Ming suffered since entering Fujian and Guangdong, especially at the critical moment when he was about to capture Guangzhou.

He Dengyun said in a hurry: "Your Highness, I was ordered to collect Zhaoqing and Gaozhou, but I didn't expect to meet the Xichuan soldiers. At first, I fought with them, but they were about to collapse. I thought it was just a group of fish, so I led my army to pursue him, but I was ambushed."

Zhao Ming sneered, "With the combat power of the Wuwei and Hujie battalions, even if they are ambushed, they can still stand firm and wait for assistance. Why are they defeated so simply?"

He Dengyun said: "When I saw the trap, I immediately ordered the two battalions to form a formation and suppress the Xichuan soldiers with muskets and bows. I did stabilize the formation, but I didn't expect that the earth suddenly shook the west and nearly a hundred giants rushed out. The me and the soldiers were frightened and the military formation was chaotic, and the entire formation collapsed!"

When Zhao Ming heard the words, he understood that he had met the elephant soldiers of Li Dingguo.

This thing is indeed several times more terrifying than a war horse charge for anyone who has never seen it.

According to history, the Qing army also suffered a great loss on it and was killed by Li Dingguo and lost.

Zhao Ming said angryly: "So you were defeated and became a miscellaneous fish? That was a war elephant. Didn't you remind me?"

After the Han army entered Guangdong, Zhao Ming considered that it was possible to encounter such a military branch that was only available in the south, and once reminded his subordinates.

He Dengyun said dejectedly: "I have never seen it before, and I suddenly didn't react. However, the soldiers fired a few shots, but they did not see the war elephant panic."

Zhao Ming frowned and stood in front of He Dengyun, looking down at him for a while, making him sweat behind him and feel scared.

Now the Han King is even more majestic, and the loss of the two battalions of soldiers made He Dengyun feel extremely frightened.

Zhao Ming exhaled a heavy breath and said in a deep voice for a while: "Although He Dengyun is a common military service, you have lost the soldiers of Gu Wang and lost the power of the Han army. Now I have dismissed your position as the right general of the left army and the right army, and received a hundred military sticks!"

As soon as Zhao Ming finished speaking, a guard stepped forward, dragged He Dengyun out of the tent, and raised military sticks.

Shunshi general Dang Shousu, who was standing aside, said immediately: "Your Highness, He Dengyun deserves to be beaten and humiliate the military power. However, he is loyal to Your Highness, so please show mercy to your superiors!"

Back then, the rebel army steadily suppressed Zhang Xianzhong. Li Zicheng once wrote to Zhang Xianzhong now, saying, "Old Huihui has surrendered, Cao Cao has been killed, and you will be killed." Zhang Xianzhong was so scared that he hurried south to Changsha to avoid Li Zicheng.

Now, as an old general of the Shun clan, He Dengyun was defeated by the Queen of Han when he surrendered to the Queen of Han. Li Dingguo, a latecomer in the Western Army, was indeed a bit embarrassed.

However, Zhao Ming knew that Li Dingguo was not simple, he was one of the only famous generals in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, if Li Dingguo were not seen, the entire history would have lost its color.

Zhao Ming snorted coldly when Wenyu said, "If you suffer a defeat, you must be punished, otherwise anyone will dare to defeat the war in the future."

However, after these hundred military sticks, people will basically be abandoned.

Zhao Ming's elite army was a very shortage of generals. Of course, this is a general environment that has not been very good at all.

At the moment, I can only get taller and make do with it.

Zhao Ming glanced at Dang Shousu, and was so scared that he hurriedly lowered his head and fisted, and retreated back to his original position.

At this time, Zhao Ming didn't say anything, but just lifted his belt. Zhang Jiayu, who was close to him, understood and hurriedly gave the account to wink the guards. The guards who were executing the execution showed mercy. The military sticks were raised high and fell gently. The beaten was not heavy, but even so, he was beaten and his butt was beaten to pieces.

Muffled groans came from outside the tent, and He Dengyun was holding the military stick without saying a word.

At this time, Tang Tong came hurriedly, looked at He Dengyun who was being kidnapped, and then directly raised the curtain and entered the big tent.

Zhao Ming was about to discuss with everyone, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to him.

"Your Highness, the vanguard of the Western Army, has arrived in Guangzhou." Tang Tong reported in a deep voice.

A day later, outside the Han army camp in the western suburbs.

The Western Army soldiers wearing earthy yellow armor, straw sandals and headscarves came all over the field.

Compared with the soldiers of the Han army, the equipment of the Western Army is really cold and even more like a beggar.

At this time, Zhao Ming had already arrived at the Han army camp in the west of the city, standing on the observation deck inside the camp, staring at the wilderness outside the camp.

In the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, a general wearing fish scale armor, phoenix winged helmet, three-foot feather feathers, and a big red cloak, stood under the big star of the word "Li".

Zhao Ming couldn't help but put down the Qianli Miles Miles and looked at it with his naked eyes. He felt a little happy in his heart, "That's Li Dingguo, such a mighty and majestic man."

After Li Dingguo arrived in Guangzhou, he set up camp thirty miles west of the city.

While Li Dingguo arrived in Guangzhou, Qu Shisi, who had been staying in the Sihui, also set up camp and set up a camp in the northwest of Guangzhou.

The two armies camps were less than ten miles apart and were each other, preparing to lift the siege of Guangzhou.

At this time, Li Dingguo led more than 10,000 Western Army and appeared outside the Han army camp in the west of the city to conduct tests and challenges.

Zhao Ming waved his hand and the trumpet sounded in the camp. Ten thousand Han soldiers followed Dang Shousu out of the camp to fight with the sound of drums.

The elite Han army gathered in the camp outside the East City, and outside the West City, there were mainly new troops, and they were Shunmen, mainly cold weapons.

At this time, the two armies faced each other, and the drums of war were urgently beaten, and the Western Army soldiers, who were at a disadvantage, actually launched the attack first.

Zhao Ming stood on the watchtower and saw the two armies fighting and the cavalry charged. Li Dingguo led nearly a thousand cavalry, rushing left and right in and out in the Han army formation, counting in and out.

Zhao Ming and others were stunned and had to admit that the Western Army had been fighting with the Qing army for a long time. In the traditional battle formation dominated by cold weapons, the strength was not weaker than the well-equipped Han army. The fierce aura actually suppressed the Han army.

Of course, this is mainly because the Han army expanded its troops by 300,000, and not all Han army were elite. If elite troops were sent, Zhao Ming would still be confident to defeat the Western Army.

Outside the camp, the two armies fought fiercely, and Zhao Ming stood on the platform to watch, Zhu Yue at the top of Guangzhou City and Qu Shili who camped in the northwest were also watching.

Suddenly, after Li Dingguo ran through the Han army's formation, he detoured and rushed directly to the Dangshousu's flag. The Han army finally stopped supporting and fled back to the camp.

Li Dingguo galloped all the way, and the Western Army soldiers roared and chased the Han army and rushed straight to the front of the road camp, before being shot back by muskets.
