The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Doolittle acted quickly and started taking action immediately after receiving Yinreng's appointment.

As a defender and prepared in advance, Doolittle has the advantage of choosing the main battlefield independently.

First of all, the main battlefield cannot be placed in Beijing. As the capital of the dynasty, throwing a brick at random can hit the territory of Marquis Baylor.

If the war breaks some bottles and cans, that's a trivial matter, but if it scares these old men, it will be troublesome.

Secondly, the territory must be large, otherwise how can the army be defeated in one fell swoop without being able to deploy.

After careful consideration, Doolittle finally decided to place the battlefield along the Tongzhou Canal.

The territory is vast, strategically important, and there are rivers as natural barriers in retreat.

It’s Baliqiao!Simply perfect!

Doolittle did not know that not long after he made this decision, information about the movements of the Qing army appeared on Emperor Zhu Da's desk.

Emperor Zhu Da looked a little strange when faced with this intelligence coming from thousands of miles away.

Bali Bridge!

The place where the Eight-Nation Allied Forces slapped Man Qing awake.

The place where the Manqing War Monk Gelinqin achieved an astonishing record of 3000:5.

This history is really amazing!

But it seems that someone is going to compete with Seng Gelinqin for the position of Manqing God of War!

As for this divinity contender Doolittle, Emperor Zhu had some understanding after just reading the information provided by Jin Yiwei.

Du Lide, a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen, was demoted to the Qing Dynasty after the Jiannu entered the Pass and became a Jiannu official. He was highly regarded by Fanxi. When Fanxi put down the rebellion of the three feudal lords, he was also the one who made suggestions behind the scenes, and he was considered to be somewhat capable.

But since he is a slave-building official or a general who leads the army, there is nothing much to say.

"Come on!"

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Send a report to Li Zhenhua, telling him to slow down his advance, show the enemy's weakness, and leave enough time for Jiannu to gather his troops. I will break Jiannu's back in a battle!"

……

In the Baliqiao front, there are many camps and military flags fluttering.

Doolittle watched as more and more troops gathered from all over Zhili, and his fighting spirit grew stronger.

At the same time, good news from the spies came one after another.

First of all, the previous military intelligence report that the Ming bandits had an army of 10 was confirmed to be a false report after he sent people to continuously verify it. The actual number of Ming bandits was only about [-].

Secondly, as he expected, the Ming bandits did not carry heavy artillery, only some small artillery that could be towed by a single horse (steel infantry cannon, field artillery, heavy machine guns)

Furthermore, the raiding troops he sent to slow down the advance of the Ming bandits were highly effective.

Although a large group of people died, the speed of the Ming bandits' advance has indeed slowed down.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will have enough time to gather his troops.

If the winning rate was only [-]% before, now the probability has increased to [-]%!

This succession of good news quickly spread to Beijing.

Yinreng felt relieved, and Zhizhi Wenwu's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

It was night, and all the dignitaries and prince Baylor raised their glasses to celebrate.

In that battle, those who didn't know thought that the Qing army had already won a great victory.

……

On September 9, the first year of Ming Dynasty, more than 8 people of the "Ming Dynasty Army" finally arrived near Bali Bridge after more than 3 days of arduous march.

When this news quickly reached Dolittle's ears, the gray-haired old comrade suddenly stood up.

"We're finally here! Someone! Give me some armor!"

Doolittle shouted excitedly to the soldiers.

There is really no one left in Manqing, and those who can fight are either already growing grass on their graves, or they are still baring their teeth with tigers on the border.

The remaining banner lords and princes are either courageous or without courage.

Yinreng dared to let such an old comrade who had trouble riding a horse go into battle. Although he was forced by the situation, he was really too ambitious.

But this was completely fine with Doolittle himself.

There are only tens of thousands of Ming bandits. I personally lead 30 Eight Banners elites to capture them. Isn't it easy to capture them!

As the man behind the pacification of the San Francisco Rebellion, Doolittle still had some talent.

After receiving the news that the Ming bandits had only more than 3 troops, he did not attack immediately. To be on the safe side, he still sent a large number of cavalry to explore the rear of the Ming bandits.

After all, previous intelligence showed that the Ming bandits had an army of [-].

Soon, the spies sent back the information.

Intelligence showed that there were no combat personnel behind the bandits except tens of thousands of "civilian hard laborers" transporting military supplies.

Such a result made Dolittle excited, but at the same time a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

Where are the Ming bandits?Could it be that it fell too far behind?

However, the opportunity is fleeting, and now the Ming bandits have invaded with only 3 troops. He will never allow himself to miss such a God-given opportunity!

At 8 pm on the 5th, the south bank of Tonghui River.

Under Doolittle's command, tens of thousands of elite troops of the Eight Banners launched a fierce attack on the "Ming bandit army" who had not yet gained a foothold.

In an instant, the sound of artillery was like midsummer thunder, and densely packed solid iron balls smashed towards the "Ming Army position".

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Although the "Ming Army" did not gather in large groups, nor did they form a line formation.

However, faced with such a large-scale shelling, they were still knocked around and many people died on the spot in an instant.

Doolittle, who was far behind in the Qing army camp, saw that the artillery bombardment was very effective and that the Ming army had no artillery fire to counterattack, and his face became more and more happy.

He stroked his gray beard with one hand and nodded repeatedly.

"As I expected, the bandits broke into the army without carrying large artillery! Okay! Give me a good beating, and I will reward them when the war is over!"

In order to deal with the Ming army, he brought over all the artillery he could get, hundreds of large and small.

Now that the results are remarkable, his preparations are not in vain.

Doolittle was happy, and the Eight Banners elites under his command almost had an orgasm.

Originally, many people thought that today would be a fierce battle, but now it seems that this is not a fierce battle. This is clearly a merit distribution meeting!

"Warriors with yellow flags, follow my general and charge forward! Take the credit!"

An Eight Banner leader wearing armor with yellow flags shouted loudly.

The warriors under him with yellow flags responded and made strange cries.

It’s not just the yellow flags that are taking the credit.

The Manchu Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Eight Banners New Army all started to charge with howls when they saw the Ming army being blown up by their own artillery.

Even some of the troops deployed by Doolittle in the rear were rioting.

Although the military merits of the Man Qing Dynasty were far different from the simple and crude first-level skills of the Ming Dynasty, they were still quite valuable.

At present, the Eight Banners men all want to get a piece of the military merit that is almost free of charge.

At this time, opposite the Qing army, the Ming army's position was continuously hit by solid iron balls.

An officer wearing a Ming army uniform looked at the Qing army coming like a tide and shouted in horror with a face on his face.

"Axi!"

"Jiannu is fierce! Run away!"
