The Qing troops retreated, and Mai Ke achieved the initial combat goal.

A total of 50,000 enemies were captured in this battle, and a thorn was buried in Xu Guangjin's heart, and he helped him change generals on the spot, so that he could control this army of 1450,000 Qing troops in his own hands.

At the same time, Mai Ke also incorporated Zaojiazhuang, and the biggest harvest is that the 30,000 wood elements are above the standard of experts!

The enemy's retreat is in line with Mai Ke's intentions, of course, he will let them retreat along the way, otherwise a tail-of-the-line pursuit will not destroy the whole army, but also make them lose most of their losses.

Da Zao rushed to the scene, but he didn't catch a single hair of the enemy, and he was very unhappy, and his mouth was pouted.

A half-sized boy next to him, who came out of almost the same mold as the jujube, was even more angry: "Stinky Qingbing, why didn't you wait for Young Master Ben to beat him, and then ran out? It's faster than a rabbit!"

Mai Ke estimated that Dazao's son was at this time, but before others introduced themselves, he couldn't be 100% sure, so he asked Dazao: "Who is this young hero?"

Da Zao patted his chest and said proudly: "My son, Xiao Zao, Xiao Zao, this is Mai Ke, you Uncle Mai Ke, whether you can go to the Tianjun or not, it all depends on your uncle's approval, go and bow!"

Mai Ke wanted not to laugh, but he didn't stop!

Who are these people? They all have to do with jujubes! A family of jujubes, old and small! old jujubes, big jujubes, and small jujubes!

"How old are you?" asked Mai Ke.

"Report to Uncle! I'm fifteen!" Xiao Zao quickly replied, and muttered in a low voice when he was done: "It's okay to marry a daughter-in-law, why can't you go into battle?"

Fifteen, this is child labor!

However, Mai Ke also knows that in the countryside in this era, fourteen or fifteen years old are generally serious laborers!

"Okay! I agree with you to go, but you have to listen to your father's arrangement!" Mai Ke not only considered the Northeast Corps, but also Chen Yucheng of the Central Corps had a scout there. There are good seedlings, and Mai Ke also helps to collect some.

The main force of the Qing soldiers here withdrew, and the direction was Xuzhou, where the Manchu emperor was stationed, and Lin Fengxiang led an army of nearly 300,000 troops, which was backlogged step by step, and all the newly acquired land. They all immediately cleaned up and connected with the base of Zaojiazhuang.

Of the 50,000 captives in Zaojiazhuang, after screening, 40,000 immediately joined the Heavenly Army, and the remaining 10,000 were all unwilling to submit.

Lao Zao was in charge of supervising them; These people did not have the ability to resist, but they still had the ability to work, so if necessary, they could be allowed to participate in labor, just to compensate for the vacancy caused by the 50,000 men coming to support the Celestial Army.

As for the two difficult brothers and sisters, they don't have those comforts, and they don't have the opportunity to work if they want to!

Because of these miniature confinement systems of Maike. The function is similar to that of the prison system of the Holy Mountain, and it is also determined that they stay on the second floor according to the sinful process.

Paktofu entered the second floor. He was already feeling very tormented, and soon he realized that there were people on the floor below him who were even more miserable than him!

When he heard the scream again, he recognized his cousin at that time, though his voice had changed by pain.

With such a deterrent, presumably those guys who refuse to surrender will not dare to blow up the thorns!

Mai Ke told them openly and honestly from the beginning. As long as they are moved by sin, their punishment will be increased!

On the contrary, if they have the idea of changing from evil to good, the punishment will be lighter.

Mai Ke settled the affairs of the Northeast Road, and he left immediately. Peter, please go to him if you have something!

On the way to the coast of the East China Sea, he took the time to look at the summary of the battle situation jointly released by Liuhua and Zhang Yuan, plus the report of the commander of the seven corps.

Yang Xiuqing of the Eastern Corps and Lin Fengxiang of the Northeast Corps also had the same report, but Mai Ke didn't need to look at it this time, because he already knew the situation.

These are routine reports to achieve the regulations, twice a day when there is nothing to do, once in the morning and once in the evening.

There is only one content in today's report, that is, whether each regiment has started fighting as planned in the area it is responsible for!

If you hit, what is the result.

If you don't fight, what is the reason?

If you don't start the fight at the specified time, after reporting it for the first time, you have to update the situation every half an hour!

Because this is a very strict issue, it may affect the entire battle!

When Peter's fleet headed north, Mai Ke returned several times, and determined with Peter, the Ten Dragons, and the Eastern Night where the breakthrough into the Huanghuai River was.

Originally, they decided to enter from the place where the Yellow River enters the sea, but later they felt that it was inappropriate, mainly because the channel was relatively narrow and irregular, and they needed to be prepared to attack by different routes.

Mai Ke called Gu Jizhi again, he was very familiar with these estuaries and knew the section of the river before going to sea.

In the end, everyone decided to march in three ways!

The middle road was led by Peter, and along the way there were a thousand warships, twenty Jonah fish, and the Jonah fish was led by the old Jonah himself, and entered from the mouth of the Binhai River near Yunti Pass, and went upstream!

This estuary is the channel of the Yellow River water, and it is the product of the Yellow River's seizure of the Huai River, and the current state is that the water of the Yellow River is in charge of the Huai River Basin!

The second route is to rush to the ancient channel of the Huai River, from where the ancient channel will be re-excavated and the passage into the sea of the ancient Huai River will be restored. This matter is also good at the construction of the second dragon Meng Xiao is in charge, the main force of Jonah fish are concentrated there, and they are responsible for the task of digging and dredging the river!

Jonah Jr. was in charge of these Jonah fish, and most of them were participating in such a military operation for the first time, so it was important to discipline them.

The third route, entering the Yangtze River from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then going upstream, seems to be beyond the scope of the battle between the two rivers, but in fact, this is still specially proposed by Gu Jizhi.

It turned out that after the Yellow River seized the Huai River, the lower reaches of the Huai River Basin, which had been flowing into the sea, were suddenly messed up by the Yellow River!

Not only did it seize the channel of the Huai River, but it also brought a large amount of sediment from the Yellow River into that area, causing the river embankment to get higher and higher, forming the famous above-ground river, so that the original Huai River water had nowhere to go.

They gather in Hongze Lake until the water flowing from the Huai River is too large to be loaded, and then it overflows. Originally, it went eastward, but was roughly intercepted by the Yellow River, and then flowed away in the southeast direction, and whenever it encountered a low-lying place, it formed a lake again, and this is how Baima Lake, Gaoyou Lake, Shao Bo Lake, and so on were formed. It was not until the mouth of the Sanjiang River near Yangzhou that it entered the Yangtze River.

The three rivers in these three estuaries are the Yangtze River, the Xiaojia River at the mouth of the Huai River, and the Taiping River in Yangzhong Prefecture.

From here to the mouth of the Yangtze River, which enters the Yellow Sea, the three rivers are confluence, so they can also be included in the scope of the battle between the two rivers.

However, this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that from here to enter the central area, the water and land are the most unimpeded, and you can quickly enter the junction of the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River, which plays a key role in connecting the upper and lower reaches.

In fact, it also plays the role of a strategic reserve along the way.

Enter the Yangtze River estuary. There were a thousand warships, equipped with thirty jonahs, and the little Jonah was in charge of commanding, relatively speaking, the things that required Jonah fish to do along the way should be the easiest.

The leader of this road is Meng Zhong, the boss of the Ten Dragons, and the deputy leader is the Eastern Black Night, and its 100,000 people from the Great Mountain Special Legion are all on this road.

These 100,000 marines are based on its 100,000 habitual bandits who surrendered to the mountains as the backbone. established.

Some of the newly added soldiers were recruited from Nanning before departure, and some came all the way. There are already Qing soldiers captured in Zhaozhou.

All in all, when he set out from Guangzhou, his 100,000 establishment was already full.

Along the way, they have not been idle, and have been seizing the time to train their troops.

10,000 habitual bandits. He was in charge of training the recruits, and these men were fierce and trained them very harshly, and along the way they heard a constant howl of ghosts and wolves coming from the cabin in which they were riding.

Before the arrival of Mai Ke. The armies of the three-way sailors have already jumped into their respective outlets!

Mai Ke went directly to Peter, and saw that he was trying to enter the Yellow River with the fleet.

Peter was already sweating profusely, but not a single boat was successful.

Mai Ke hurried over and asked why.

As soon as he arrived at Peter's place, he immediately understood that it was a dry season, and the gap between the embankment and the sea was one foot high, and the big ships could not cross it.

Jonah tried to smash this one-foot high obstacle and then open a way, but he didn't expect that this kind of earth and stone structure that has been impacted by the water for many years is extremely strong, hard and sticky, and he tried many times, but he did not break through.

In addition to this specific problem, Peter realized that he had no way of keeping track of the other two fleets and not being able to command them, so he asked Mai Ke to get him a live broadcast system of the kind of General Headquarters.

Mai Ke was right when he thought about it, if he lost the overall command, Peter, the commander-in-chief of the naval division, would become the commando leader, which was really overkill.

However, he has never done this kind of thing, and promised to solve the immediate problem first, and then establish a live broadcast system.

Mai Ke said just do it, pulled Peter up, and jumped into the sea together.

Peter jumped, what is this for? If you can't solve it, you won't jump into the sea, right?

But when he entered the sea, he realized that it was not like that, and that the sea was avoiding them!

It turns out that this is a function of water element, like the legendary water beads.

As he walked, Mai Ke gave Peter an aptitude test, and it turned out that this guy had reached 90 degrees!

But only Mizugen is the same, and he deserves to deal with the ocean every day!

However, Mai Ke immediately became happy, isn't this the supreme leader of the ready-made water element? Besides, the water master is definitely suitable for the place with the most water source elements!

Even now, isn't it an extra special strong laborer?

Mai Ke immediately stuffed Peter with a jar of water element, and told her how to do it.

Then Mai Kejin Yuan threw it out, and the invincible weapon instantly cut the high cliff in front of him to pieces!

Peter took advantage of the fire to rob, and as soon as he caught up with the water element, he immediately scattered the shattered earth and rocks in all directions!

The channel into the Yellow River was opened in one fell swoop, and the ships of the Heavenly Army rushed into the Yellow River in one fell swoop! .
