Lucked smiled coldly, "Hong Chengchou is afraid of this group of Nikans, but I love the descendants of Xinjueluo but only treat them as insects and ants!"

"The first time they slipped too fast, and with the help of boats, I couldn't catch them for a while. Now that he is so rampant that he is setting up a position in Jiangning to spread wild, he is asking for his own death.

"The imperial court has dismantled more than 300 warships of Zheng Zhilong's naval division to go south, and they will soon arrive in Chongming, blocking the mouth of the Yangtze River. After I led the army to defeat the Nikans, they would no longer be able to escape by boat, and after this battle, Nanming would be finished! ”

When the herald saw him describe it like this, he remembered Hong Chengchou's order, and was about to say something more, when he saw an officer running over panting, and gave a thousand blows to Luckedhun, and said happily: "Master, cannon!" The cannon is here! ”

"Cannons? What cannon? ”

"Master, have you forgotten?" The officer hurriedly said, "It's the kind of hexagonal cannon that Lord Yushi Cai mentioned." ”

"Really?!" Luckedhun immediately remembered, and was immediately overjoyed.

When Cai Shiying said that the Yiren surnamed Tang had created an extremely powerful cannon, the muzzle of the cannon was hexagonal, it could shoot four miles away, and the accuracy was amazing, he still didn't believe it, but he didn't expect it to be made.

"Back to the master, the cannon is in the north of the city, and there are sixty gunners assigned by the Beijing camp with him. It is said that this cannon is extremely difficult to cast, and Lord Cai ordered craftsmen to make it day and night, and it was not easy to cast four statues, which were sent by the starry night. It had arrived in Tongzhou several days ago, but because he was worried about encountering Nanban warships, he had to be extremely cautious, and first sent people to pretend to be fishing boats to keep an eye on the Zhenjiang area, and only today he had to cross the river to transport it. ”

"Good!" Hearing this, Luck looked at the herald sent by Hong Chengchou, and said proudly, "With these four sharp weapons, I can take the head of the Southern Barbarians four miles away!" ”

He looked at Da Su again, "There is also the elite of the Beijing camp sent by the Nine Princes, plus the new firearms training battalion under my command, and it is like killing chickens with a knife to deal with 30,000 southern barbarians." ”

He shook off his back and said to Babutai: "Order, beat the drum and raise the tent!" ”

"Huh!"

A moment later, a group of officers gathered in the camp of Luckd Hun Jiangyin.

Luck Dehun looked around at everyone, but first pointed to Zhang Tianlu, "General Zhang, order you to lead 10,000 horses and horses on the right side of the army and walk close to the riverside." Keep an eye on the river, if a Nanban lands from the Yangtze River, you will immediately lead the army to strangle! ”

Walking close to the river? Zhang Tianlu was stunned for a moment, so he was bound to be far away from the main force of the Chinese army, and he would definitely be the last to arrive at the battlefield at the time of the decisive battle, but how to get the merits? !

Speaking of which, he should be controlled by Hong Chengchou, he is not Luckdehun's subordinate at all, and this time he just happened to get to Jiangyin. But Luckedhun is the clan relative Baylor, and he didn't dare to fight at will in front of everyone in this tent, so he could only reluctantly arch his hand and say: "The last general...... Commanded. ”

Luck Dehun nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed Bu Congshan: "General Bu, let you lead your men and horses and the rest of the Hui army to assist in the defense after the army." ”

What will be broken when this main attack is attacked? Bu Congshan knew that this was an intention to separate the green battalion soldiers in case the military merits were divided. He didn't think it was angry, and immediately replied: "The last general will obey the order." ”

"Lu Shiyang, let you lead your troops as the front army, and immediately pull out the camp first." In the end, Lu Shiyang is Hong Chengchou's descendant, and Lucked saved some face. However, the so-called front army is mostly the first batch of cannon fodder to rush to death.

"The last will obey."

Babutai led more than 20,000 people of the Red Banner Firearms Battalion as the main force of the Chinese army, Chen Tai's 6,000 yellow flag hussars were close to the left rear, and Dasu's 6,000 yellow flag Beijing battalion was accompanied by the right flank.

After the deployment of the army was completed, Luck Dehun got up and waved his hand: "Pass my military order, and the army will immediately pull out the camp and march westward to destroy the Southern Ming rebel army under Jiangning City."

"When this battle is over, you will follow me south and go straight to Fujian!"

When all the captives heard this, they were overjoyed, and said in unison: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

……

After five days, Luckedhun's army of nearly 70,000 arrived near Zhenjiang.

During this period, Hong Chengchou kept sending people to urge, but Luckedhun was unmoved, and the daily march never exceeded forty miles.

It's not that he doesn't want to go fast, but he has a lot of wagons and artillery in his army, and he can't be fast because of these heavy and sluggish things. Second, he was careful all the way, and sent people to repeatedly investigate all possible ambush places, preferring that the brigade wait first, but also make sure that there is no danger before leaving.

To say that although this Luck Dehun is arrogant, he is also somewhat capable.

The Qing army clearly stipulated that each ox was equipped with 12 chariots, that is, 100 people and 4 chariots, and in some cases, it was even required that "if there is no chariot in the face of the enemy, do not go to war". The tactics of the chariot and the elite infantry armor helped the Houjin defeat the Ming army several times. Although since the Qing army entered the customs, because the combat effectiveness of the Ming army has deteriorated, many captives have not paid much attention to the regulations of carrying chariots, but Luck Dehun is an "academic" in the Qing army, strictly abiding by the tactical regulations left by his ancestors.

In fact, he passed through the inner line of Fujian and had a general understanding of the battle of Shanguan. Unlike other Jianyu officers, he firmly believed that the defeat of Boluo's army in the south was caused by the cutting off of the grain route by the light enemy's rash advance. However, he believed that the Qing army still had a good chance in the first battle at Shanguan, but Azig ignored the rules of battle and only brought more than 100 chariots into battle, and finally suffered heavy casualties under Nikan's volley of firearms.

Before the people of Luck Dehun arrived in Jiangnan, they ordered the Nanjing Ordnance Bureau to build nearly a thousand chariots of all sizes for him! And he spared no expense in this batch of carts, all wrapped in cowhide and iron sheets, even if the eleven money guns were thirty paces away, he didn't want to shoot through.

With such a chariot at the front, the infantry will march later, which will surely render the Ming army's guns useless.

And sending a squad of cavalry to reconnoiter more than ten or twenty miles away during the march was also a rule that the Qing army had before entering the customs.

At that time, the Houjin army was very poor, and most of them had to rely on looting to replenish grain and grass during the war, so they had the habit of sending cavalry teams of 30 to 50 people to go out to grab grain from time to time. Because these raiding squads ran far away, they often accidentally detected the movements of the Ming army. In the end, after the Qing army was well supplied with food and grass, they still retained this "good habit".

Therefore, Luckedhun also sent out more than a dozen such reconnaissance teams as usual, and all the horns were probed, but no signs of ambushes of the Ming army were found.

……

"Yu Yongshou, how far is it from Nanjing?" Zhang Tianlu lifted the reins and turned around and asked.

"Back to the general, there is Jurong County in front, and there are seventy or eighty miles to Jiangning."

Zhang Tianlu nodded and thought for a moment, then summoned Yongshou to the front and commanded in a low voice: "Send someone to order Bu Congshan, and let him lead the cavalry of his department to come to meet me overnight!"
