The place for the decisive battle chosen by Li Xuan was on a flat land thirty miles north of Nanchang, with an array of formations relying on several hills.

Nanchang City is surrounded by plains and farmland, and the rest is either swampy land or low hills, with no favorable terrain to rely on.

However, these plowed fields are the most conducive terrain for Shenji's camp.

It was early summer at this time, and the soil in the paddy fields was soft and slippery, and there would be a deep pit if you stepped on it.

When Shenji's left and right battalions were divided into a hundred line formations and deployed on the field ridge, within the 380-foot shooting range in front was an insurmountable death trap.

King Ning also realized that Li Xuan had arranged a terrible trap for him, but he had to force the entire army to move forward, preparing to launch a desperate attack on the seemingly thin musket array opposite.

Just because at this time, news of the fall of Nanchang had spread among his troops.

During the dozens of miles they crossed the Gan River and marched to Nanchang, nearly 3,000 people escaped from the military formation.

This was the result of King Ning supervising his troops and doing his best to stop and kill them.

King Ning could not imagine how far his army would collapse if time was delayed any longer.

His only chance of victory was to use his superiority in military strength to defeat the Shenji Battalion on the opposite side and recapture Nanchang.

However, before the armies of the two sides came into contact, it was the navy that was the first to decide the winner.

Just at the mouth of the Ganjiang River, the 28,000 navy under the command of Duan Dong, the naval admiral of Caojiang, defeated the 50,000 boat division of King Ning's guard. More than 20 warships were sunk, 173 warships were captured, and more than 30,000 people were forced to surrender.

Li Xuan was not surprised by the result of this battle. Although Duan Dong only mobilized the navy from the Poyang Lake area for this battle, plus the Yangzhou naval battalion that had been ordered to arrive in advance, he was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.

But these 28,000 people are all seriously organized troops of the imperial court. They are well-trained, skilled in combat, and have high morale.

Their opponents were mostly local fishermen temporarily recruited by King Ning.

Ning Wang Zhoushi's ships and war equipment are quite sophisticated. Among them are three Wanliang inland river gunboats, equipped with 48 large and small Fran machine guns, which can be regarded as behemoths on the inland water.

But in order to prevent the imperial court from detecting it, King Ning did not dare to drive these powerful gunboats to the river for training.

So much so that it was difficult for the sailors and soldiers of these three powerful gunboats to find the right direction to fire on the battlefield.

The key is that the imperial navy also has the help of the Dragon Clan. Jinque Tiangong's move to trigger the cold wave in the north completely angered the Dragon Clan. Ao Shuying put aside almost all scruples in this battle and fully assisted the Jin Navy in the battle.

So when Duan Dong, the Marquis of Zhendong, and Li Yan, the Yangzhou Navy Commander, came ashore and rushed to where Li Xuan's army was, neither of them had any joy after a great victory on their faces.

This victory was too easy and could not cause any mood swings in them.

After Duan Dong, the Marquis of Zhendong, arrived, he ignored the war ahead: "Two months ago, your mother proposed marriage to my wife, saying that she wanted to hire you to inherit the lineage of your uncle's Sanfangtang. The incense is yours to drink."

——This is actually quite ridiculous. Concurrent marriages usually occur between brothers or close cousins. This cousin is really too far apart.

But Uncle Chengyi and Li Xuan were able to do this kind of thing shamelessly.

Although Duan Dong felt extremely contemptuous, on the other hand, he was still satisfied.

At least she wasn't a concubine, but the wife of the Ming Dynasty who was carried to the door in eight sedans. She had a decent face and would not disgrace the dead Xia Yushi.

To be honest, ever since Xia Nanyan revealed her identity as the Purple Butterfly Witch, he had no hope for his adopted daughter's marriage.

Now the situation has taken a turn for the worse, which surprises Duan Dong.

Duan Dong admires the kindness of Mrs. Liu from the Chengyi family very much. Nan Yan is really lucky to be able to marry into such a family.

But this long-awaited marriage has not progressed since Mrs. Liu came to Beijing, which makes Duan Dong worried.

"Mother told me about this." Li Xuan scratched his head helplessly: "But Yan'er doesn't know what scruples she has, or maybe her nephew did something wrong. She hasn't agreed yet."

Duan Dong immediately understood that what Li Xuan meant was that he knew about this marriage, and it was his adopted daughter who caused the problem.

Duan Dong couldn't help but frown in displeasure, thinking, what on earth is Yan'er doing?

However, it was not easy for him as a father to ask about his daughter's family's concerns, and it was also difficult to press him. He could only turn around and ask his wife to come forward.

Li Yan looked at the getting closer and closer to King Ning's army array through the telescope, and raised his eyebrows: "You two, the enemy's army array is less than 450 feet away. Li Xuan, would you like to take care of the military situation first? "

He knew that the Marquis of Zhendong cared about his adopted daughter, but could this matter wait until the war was over?

"What's there to worry about?" Duan Dong, the Marquis of Zhendong, is old in the army and can do both land and water. He glanced ahead and sneered: "A group of rabble with low morale and lost military morale. Give me ten thousand people to defeat them." Defeated. Why should we care about a bunch of chickens and dogs?"

He saw that Li Xuan's arrangement was also focused on capturing prisoners.

Especially the 20,000 Liaodong cavalry troops are spreading out on both wings. They are ready and eager to try.

Duan Dong noticed that none of the cavalry were wearing armor, nor did they carry any heavy weapons or bows.

Of course, this will greatly reduce their combat effectiveness, but it will also allow these cavalry to run more easily in this battlefield filled with paddy fields.

Looking at the other side, the panic, fear and helplessness of the officers and soldiers of King Ning's army were all displayed on their faces.

More importantly, because King Ning was in a hurry to march, his hundreds of red cannons and Folang machine guns were still on the road.

This army of more than 200,000 people actually does not even have a decent cannon. They can only rely on some easy-to-carry squatting tiger cannons.

In such a battle, if it were Duan Dong and Prince Ning, he wouldn't have the slightest chance of winning.

Just when King Ning's army entered the 320th step, Wang Yuan, who took command of the entire army in place of Li Xuan, had already raised the 'Yan Fei Dao' in his hand.

"Fire!"

When the 20,000 soldiers of Shenji's left and right battalions lined up in front began to fire the first salvo, many smoothbore field artillery on the battlefield also began to roar.

As green smoke filled the battlefield, the first column of King Ning's army on the opposite side instantly exploded with a large amount of blood mist. More than two thousand people were shot and fell, and those shells blasted into the dense crowd, causing horrific damage like cutting wheat.

As a result, the more than 200,000 King Ning's troops were completely defeated, and everyone was running away madly.

At this time, Prince Ning's army could no longer hold down the array. They themselves were overwhelmed by the deserters who were as powerful as beasts, and many people even joined them directly.

After defeating King Ning's army, the 40,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion stopped firing.

After the first salvo, they all replaced their bayonets under Wang Yuan's instructions.

Forty thousand spears were like a forest, slowly advancing forward with a mountain-like momentum.

The Liaodong knights on both wings rode out one after another and began to outflank and drive King Ning to defeat.

They waved their sabers to threaten, and at the same time shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Fenyang has an order! Put down your weapons, kneel down and do not kill! His Highness King Fenyang has an order! Put down your weapons, kneel down and do not kill!"

Wherever these knights passed, the defeated troops fell to their knees one by one. Those who did not kneel down were immediately beheaded.

At this time, Li Xuan flew into the sky again: "You two, please wait a moment. I'll go talk to His Highness Prince Ning."

The second generation of King Ning was also born in heaven, with superb martial arts and dragon energy. Among the people present, only he and Ao Shuying could confront him head-on.

※※※※

At the same time, Ning Wang Yu Dianpei was fleeing in the air.

It was only when he fled to the mouth of the Gan River a hundred miles away.

Ning Wang Yu Dianpei suddenly gave up. He stopped expressionlessly on a hill next to the river.

At this time, Yu Dianpei's eyes were full of bitterness and despair: "King Fenyang's military front is indeed unparalleled in the world, and I have learned from it. Mr. Tie, let's go. Escape to the east. You can't go along the river. Over to Xiangyang. I'm afraid you can't hold it, so you can go to Kansai to find King Yi Yu Jianshen.

Yu Jianshen's personality is quite similar to that of Emperor Guangwu, and he has the ability to recognize people. You will definitely be able to show your talents under his hands. "

"Your Highness!" The Iron Masked Man who was following him couldn't help being surprised: "Why did your Highness say this? Although Your Highness was defeated today, as long as we can keep him useful, we will be able to make a comeback sooner or later.

Your Highness, in the past, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was repeatedly defeated by King Xiang. When he was in danger, he could only have a dozen cavalry at his side, but he was still able to defeat him in the end and determine the fate of the world. Emperor Guangwu entered Hebei with only a few cavalry around him——"

"But my current mood is similar to that of King Xiang. I still miss King Xiang and refuse to cross the Yangtze River."

Yu Dianpei smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, do you think I really have hope of becoming the world leader again in the future?"

The man in the iron mask couldn't help but feel dumb, and at the same time he was filled with regret and shame.

He believed that today's defeat of King Ning was all his fault, and he underestimated Li Xuan again.

Ning Wang Yu Dianpei threw all the magical weapons and the Qiankun bag he carried with him to the Iron Masked Man: "Take these away. I know that you and Li Xuan have a blood feud with the imperial court. Although Yu Jianshen is of Taizong's blood, but this The only person in the world who can redress the grievances of your ancestors is him."

After the man in iron mask took it, he looked hesitant.

Ning Wang Yu Dianpei waved his hand: "Go! If you don't leave, it will be too late. Don't worry, I am the emperor's personal vassal. As long as I am willing to surrender, even if Li Xuan is brave enough, he will not dare to touch me. In the future, I will It’s nothing more than a situation of confinement.”

The corners of his lips were raised coldly, showing a hint of sarcasm.

Do the orphans and widowers in the imperial court dare to kill him, the blood descendant of Taizu and the prince of the clan, in the name of "unkindness"?

The man in the iron mask flew away without hesitation. He followed King Ning's instructions and disappeared among the mountains and dense forests in the distance in an instant.

But when he finally left, the man in the iron mask turned back and glanced at the south bank.

In addition to unwillingness, there was also a stern look in his pupils.

——The revenge of Xiaoling, sooner or later he will retaliate with tooth for tooth, blood for blood!

Not long after, Li Xuan arrived from the sky.

His face was expressionless, UU reading www.uukanshu.nett glanced at Ning Wang Yu Dianpei up and down: "What, you're not running away?"

Prince Ning Yu Dianpei's face darkened slightly, and then he snorted indifferently: "I lost today's battle, but what can you do to me?"

He waved his sleeves expressionlessly: "Escort me back to Nanchang. If you dare to neglect me, I will definitely report to the ancestral temple someday."

But at the next moment, Prince Ning Yu Dianpei saw the sarcastic smile on Li Xuan's face.

His expression changed slightly, and he realized that a powerful punch was coming towards him from a distance. Yu Mianpei subconsciously wanted to resist, but found that his desire to resist had been castrated.

Just one sixtieth of a breath later, his head was bombarded with blood powder by Li Xuan's unparalleled fist power.

At this time, Li Xuan had his hands behind his back and looked at the mountains and fields across the Gan River with a calm expression.

He would not stay with someone as troublesome as Prince Ning to disgust Hongshang and himself.
