Zheng's warships went downstream from the upstream and directly destroyed the floating bridge on Gutian Creek, dividing the Liang Army into two parts.

There are only about 40,000 Liang troops who have crossed Gutian River now, and there are 40,000 Liang troops on the north bank.

Zheng Sen divided Gao Huan's men into two parts.

The Zheng army was ambushed on the south bank, with as many as 140,000 troops, which was more than three times that of the Liang army on the south bank.

Among the undulating hills on the south bank, Zheng Sen and Zheng Zhilong stood under the banner of the big crow, staring at the Zheng army's warship, smashing the floating bridge, and successfully dividing the Liang army.

Zheng Sen said excitedly: "Father! Now, as long as the Liang army defeats the Liang army in the south bank before the Liang army rebuilds the floating bridge, we will win."

Zheng Zhilong and many generals all showed flushing on their faces and were excited inside.

At this time on the north bank, Gao Huan watched Zheng's army destroy the floating bridge, but was not panicked.

Before deciding to cross the river, Gao Huan had already had a premonition that he might be ambushed by the Zheng army, so he had already explained the troops crossing the river.

Gao Huan saw from the thousand-mile mirror that countless Zheng Jun suddenly appeared from the hills on the south bank, and shouted in a deep voice: "Tell Li Pingyuan, stand on the south bank and wait for me to cross the river to reinforce!"

On the south bank of the river, under a big flag, Li Pingyuan rode a war horse and observed the wilderness in the south with a thousand-mile mirror. He found the movements of Zheng army, with a cold face.

At this time, a chess and card officer observed the flag words on the north bank and knelt on one knee, "Report to the governor, the Zheng army destroyed the floating bridge and divided the army. The king ordered the governor not to panic, the army would quickly repair the floating bridge and cross the river to support it."

Li Pingyuan put away Qianli Jing and waved his hand solemnly, "Return the flag to tell the king, Hu Jie, Pan Shi, and the soldiers of the towns of Guanhe, will not disappoint the king, and will inevitably defeat the Zheng army."

Many Liang generals and officers saw that the commander was calm and composed, and each of them was full of fighting spirit.

"I will use the flag words to tell the king!" The chess and card officer saluted with his fists, then stood up and waved the flag to the north shore.

At this time, Zheng's artillery attacked again, splashing mud in the Liang army formation group, and Liang's artillery also roared and fought back.

A battalion of Liang soldiers took the initiative to press towards the enemy's artillery formation.

Under the Zheng army's big flag, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but angrily said, "The Liang thief is so arrogant! He actually dares to take the initiative!"

Zheng Sen said in a deep voice: "Father, take advantage of the fact that the Liang thief has not yet established the formation, press forward!"

Zheng Zhilong obeyed the will and waved his hand immediately, "Send the order to attack the front army!"

In the rolling hills, countless Zheng troops suddenly showed their heads, flags were raised, and howled.

"Report! Tens of thousands of troops appeared in front of the governor!" Liang Jun joined the army and immediately spoke up to remind him.

More than 40,000 Liang troops formed a formation on the back of Gutian River, and the infantry was on the periphery, while the horse army hid in the infantry formation.

At this time, facing the Zheng army's artillery attack, the Liang army's infantry formed a formation in the fire of artillery, and Li Pingyuan and many Liang generals were in the central army, ready for battle.

Behind them, Gao Huan was commanding the soldiers on the North Bank to step up cutting down trees, making rafts, and preparing to repair the floating bridge.

At the end of December, the cold wind blew, blew the military flags and roared.

Li Pingyuan stood under the battle flag, staring at Zheng Jun's figure emerging from the hills with a cold expression.

Humph! I want to fight with my Liang army in the field, see how much Zheng army has.

"Supervisor! Zheng army also appeared on the west side!"

"Supervisor! The brothers in the east have been blocked!"

When Li Pingyuan heard the general's shouting, he turned his head and looked at it. Sure enough, he saw flags everywhere in the hills in the east and west directions, and the ambushed Zheng army flocked to him.

Zheng Zhilong knew that he didn't have much time, so he pressed him from three sides from the beginning.

Li Pingyuan quickly observed and made a quick judgment on the enemy troops pressing from the front and the two wings. When the enemy troops pressed on three sides at the same time, they would definitely compress the Liang army's activity space. The more dense the Liang army was compressed, the greater the threat to the Liang army's artillery array.

Li Pingyuan has followed Gao Huan for many years, and it can even be said that he has watched Gao Huan grow up. He is an absolute confidant general and is trusted by Gao Huan.

In addition to the special relationship between the two, Li Pingyuan is indeed a general of Liang Jun.

Facing the Liang army who was pressing from three sides, Li Pingyuan decisively called the order, "Strike the horse army and attack!"

Generally speaking, when there are more infantry and fewer cavalry, they will have the tactics of defensive counterattack, and the cavalry will stay for the last use, but Li Pingyuan used cavalry from the beginning.

At this time, because the Liang army counterattacked, they could rely on the Liang army on the north bank, and now they could use cavalry to stop the Zheng army from approaching and force them to form a formation on the spot.

The horns of the Liang army formation were wrinkled, and the six thousand cavalry were divided into two strands, slowly opening out of the stair formation!

At this time, more than 30,000 Zheng army infantry led by Gan Hui were marching in the fields. Countless Zheng soldiers had just walked out of the hills and entered the plain terrain formed by the impact of Gutian Creek.

Seeing the Liang army cavalry rolling over, Gan Hui tied the horse's reins and raised his spear. The Zheng army behind him stopped in detail. Thirty thousand Zheng army's spear was in front of him, bows and arrows and bird gunmen were in the center, knife and shield hands were displayed on both wings, deer antlers were placed in front of the formation to resist horses, and strings of caltrops were sprinkled, and there was an array of untidy arrays.

It can be seen that the Zheng army was prepared for a long time, and the Gan Hui army was also very elite.

At this time, the Liang army's rushing horse army left the formation and gradually increased their speed. The troops divided into two groups to launch a clamp-shaped attack, with the obvious intention of attacking the weak wings of the Zheng army.

In order to guard against cavalry, the infantry must have sufficient depth to prevent the cavalry from rushing. If the depth is not enough, it will be easily killed.

Now the Liang army's horse army does not touch the Zheng army's front and encircle the left and right, so that they can avoid the spearmen in front and break the Zheng army in half, so that the Zheng army on the front cannot press against the Liang army's main formation.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Sen couldn't help but clench his fists and said, "Gan Hui, give me a sigh and block the enemy's cavalry's charge!"

Zheng Sen left 10,000 people to Li Guoying, and then returned first, while Gan Hui brought 40,000 people to participate in the counterattack day and night.

Gan Hui saw the Liang cavalry in two groups in the military formation, as if two heavy punches were rushing towards him, and waved his hand with a serious expression, "Architecture!"

The artillery roared in front of the Zheng army and the shells fell before the horses. The Liang cavalry immediately avoided the front and surrounded the left and right wings.

At this time, Zheng Jun, who was squatting on the ground with a spear in front of him, was relieved to see that the Liang cavalry did not come to them. However, Zheng Jun on both sides of the left and right was a little panicked. From time to time, some muskets fired in the formation and smoke rose up.

"Don't panic! Get close and shoot again!" General Zheng Jun shouted loudly.

After all, the Zheng army soldiers lacked field combat experience and had never faced such a large-scale cavalry attack.

Seeing Liang Jun galloping, feeling the shock of the horse's hooves hitting the ground, the Zheng Jun musketeers on the flank still kept getting fired frequently, and finally the crackling sound of gunfire sounded.

At this time, the Liang army's cavalry quickly divided into two waves. The muslan cavalry in front rushed to within thirty steps with the projectiles shot by the Zheng army. Then they pulled the trigger one after another, and the flintlock spears shot out the projectiles and shot into the dense Zheng army. The outer swords, shields and spearmen were hit, and a gap appeared in the formation.

After the Liang army's muskets and cavalry fired a gun, they immediately pulled their horses, braved the Zheng army's muskets and arrows, and turned around in front of the formation, revealing the heavy armored cavalry with long spears erected behind them.

With a "bang", the Liang army's heavy cavalry crashed into the flank, like two heavy hammers smashing the Zheng army's formation to sunken, and the cavalry knocked the Zheng army's soldiers to fly.
