The giant elephant group rushed into the Qing army formation and instantly stomped over dozens of tents.

The Qing soldiers who were still sleeping were directly trampled into meat paste, and they didn't even have time to shout.

Well-trained elephants are no worse than horses, and are even more spiritual in some ways.

They will only follow the orders and will not disturb their companions.

This elephant soldier was organized and trained by Li Dingguo for a lot of effort, and he usually does not take it out to fight.

If the emperor had not issued an order to fight in person, he would not have used his trump card at the bottom of the box.

At this moment, Li Dingguo and Zhu Youlang were watching the battle on a low mound not far from the Qing army camp.

Compared to hand-to-hand combat, the commander of the first army needs to control the overall situation and have a correct judgment on the situation on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty, our army has gained a considerable advantage in attacking him by surprise."

Li Dingguo was not a greedy person who was promising for progress, but he could not suppress his inner joy at this moment and took the initiative to report the situation of the war to the emperor.

From the perspective of a professional commander, the benefits of causing chaos to the enemy are the greatest.

Now the Ming army has completed the most critical step, and the next thing to do is to use the chaotic situation to expand its advantages.

Zhu Youlang nodded gently.

The key to this battle was to eliminate the vitality of the Qing army as much as possible, especially the elite of the Eight Banners.

Since the Eight Banners entered the Pass, their combat effectiveness has plummeted.

Nowadays, the number of Eight Banners soldiers can be defeated is very limited, and one less death is the same.

At first, Zhu Youlang wanted to lead the team to fight, but he gave up with Li Dingguo's desperate advice.

After all, he is the emperor, and it is already the limit to the emperor's personal expedition. Even if he really goes to battle and kills the enemy, even if it is only possible for Chengzu Zhu Di to do it.

And now Zhu Youlang obviously does not have Zhu Di's prestige yet.

Prestige needs to be cultivated slowly and there is a process of accumulation.

For example, after the last Kunming victory, Zhu Youlang's prestige increased greatly.

If the imperial commander wins a great victory in this personal battle, his prestige will inevitably rise to a new height.

"In the view of King Jin, may the Wu bandits organize a counterattack?"

Although I loved reading some books on ancient wars in my previous life, I was talking about war on paper after all.

Zhu Youlang is now desperately learning the experience of the battlefield. When should we send troops, when we have a feint attack, when we have a general attack, and when we have to withdraw our troops, are all knowledge.

Li Dingguo has experienced many battles and is obviously the best teacher.

Zhu Youlang didn't care about face issues at all, so he asked if he didn't understand.

Chongzhen tried to save face and finally killed himself.

If he had taken the initiative to go to Nanjing, even if he asked the prince to go to Nanjing to supervise the country, the Ming Dynasty would not have been so miserable.

"Report to Your Majesty, according to my opinion, even if the Wu bandits have the ability to do heaven, they will never be able to fight back."

Li Dingguo paused and said, "After the defeat of the Eastern Lu Kunming, the reason why the Wu bandits were able to gather the defeated soldiers was that he still had a certain strength. The defeated soldiers would instinctively move closer to that direction when they saw the flag. Even if they were originally subordinates of the Zhao bandit."

Li Dingguo observed the emperor's expression, and saw that he could not guess his likes and dislikes, and continued: "The situation is very different now. The soldiers of the Donglu were still sleeping and were trampled to death by elephant soldiers. The soldiers were already extremely panicked. In this case, they were not even the thief of Wu, even the King of Heaven was beyond help."

As he spoke, Li Dingguo returned to his former habit of using words when he was a peasant army. As soon as he spoke, he felt that it was not appropriate and smiled awkwardly.

Zhu Youlang doesn't care much about it.

His purpose of taking the initiative this time was to tell the soldiers that the Qing army was not invincible in field battles, and that the battles that followed would be easy to fight once they cultivated confidence.

Otherwise, there will always be this inner demon who will lose most of the battle before it can be fought.

After all, not every battle has such good luck, and there is a strong city to rely on.

In fact, Zhu Youlang's purpose in this in-person expedition was to loot the Qing army's property and food.

The Qing army's military pay was also very low, and the war soldiers only cost one tael of silver a month.

In this case, the extra income is entirely snatched.

After all, there is no cost to grab it, and it is your own if you grab it.

The combat effectiveness of Qing soldiers comes from this, and they are always happy to grab them.

Just say that Wu Sangui's army has been robbing countless money and grain along the way.

The food and grass may have been consumed almost the same amount, but the money has really been snatched up a lot.

Although Yunnan and Guizhou are poor, if they dig three feet into the ground, they can still find a lot of money.

The reason why the Yongli court could not receive too much money before was because the Ming court used Yunnan and Guizhou as a base to develop, so naturally it could not do anything to fish in the waters.

But the Qing army ignored these things, and nine out of ten chambers were empty when the army reached.

Zhu Youlang cannot openly rob his own people, but he can rob Wu Sangui of them.

In this way, we can not only reward the soldiers, but also accumulate a considerable amount of wealth in case of emergencies.

"Your Majesty, please see, the tent of the Wu thief's central army is already in chaos!"

Li Dingguo's eyes were extremely sharp and he immediately discovered the clues.

Logically speaking, the Central Army General's tent is the core of the core, and it will not be messed up in general. Now even the near Wu Sangui's tent is messed up, which proves that the situation has reached the brink of losing control.

Zhu Youlang couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted: "God blesses the Ming Dynasty!"

...

...

Screams were everywhere in the Qing army.

Among them were trampled to death by elephants, trampled to death by Ranma, and even trampled to death by panicked companions. The bodies were scattered all over the ground, and the smell of blood was filled with the air.

Many Qing soldiers were trampled into meat paste, leaving only some broken bones.

Because His Majesty the Emperor ordered that the fire should not be set in order to avoid burning the food. Although these foods were not large, they would be the food for the Ming soldiers in the future. The Ming soldiers disrupted the Qing army's camp through repeated attacks, and strangled their plan to gather together to resist in the bud.

Only a dozen grenades were used to create momentum.

It is said that because there are not many grenades left, it is necessary to save some effort.

However, the new musket (Dreiser rifle) purchased by His Majesty from Tessy is very enjoyable to use.

Compared with old-fashioned muskets, this thing is not only not exploding the chamber but also very accurate. Many small Qing army leaders and officers were shot and killed directly.

Of course, the main force of the Ming army was still the Elephant Soldier.

This thing is an invincible existence in the field.

The Qing army once tried to organize resistance and shoot arrows at the elephants.

But this thing is to scratch the elephant, which is thick and thick in the skin and flesh that cannot hurt the key.

"It's time to kill the enemy and serve the country. Brothers, fight with me!"

After the elephant soldiers broke through a bloody road, Bai Wenxuan led the cavalry team to charge.

Now the Qing army is already a mess, and it is difficult to organize effective resistance.

All he had to do was to kill the enemy as much as possible and complete the orders of His Majesty and King Jin.

"Kill the enemy and serve the country!"

"Kill the enemy and serve the country!"

"For the Ming Dynasty!"

"For Your Majesty!"
