Gu Jizhi, commander-in-chief of the special forces of the Heavenly Army's infrastructure project, has been preparing for a long enough time, and all of them have gathered on the southwest side of the Geladan Winter Snow Mountain, ready to go in the three rivers at the source of the Yangtze River!

As soon as McCor's order arrived, his battleship columns, sweeping fleets, and boat-bridge troops were launched together.

There are more than 10,000 ships of all kinds!

Because the upstream river channel is relatively narrow, Gu Jizhi classified all kinds of ships and arranged them in the three source rivers at the source of the Yangtze River.

Among them, the main source river, the Tuotuo River, gathered all kinds of warships, including landing craft, a total of more than 6,000 ships, all of them traced up from the Yellow River, and then passed through the channel that runs through the two water systems of the river.

In the Dangqu River, Gu Jizhi concentrated his boat and bridge troops, that is, the troops and equipment that built the bridge.

Their main function is to build the bridges they need for front-line combat units where they are needed.

Along the Yangtze River, such troops are indispensable.

There are more than 3,000 ships of various types in this boat-bridge fleet!

Tasks like stacking bridges in the water, they took over.

And then there's the Chumar River.

Fifteen hundred warships were gathered in this river, and the battleships were covered with special passengers.

These special passengers are all subordinates of the wormhole, that is, those elephants, zebu cows, tigers, leopards and so on.

They also came from the Yellow River and prepared to show their skills in the battle to liberate the Yangtze River Valley.

All the fleets were concentrated at the mouth of the Chumar River into the Tongtian River, which realized the confluence of the three sources of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, it is also the place where the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are connected.

Although most of the fleet, in order to better conceal the eyes and ears, all hide the supplies transported from the Yellow River in the three tributaries above this connection point. Or hoard here.

Today, the army gathered and set off, and it happened to be here to replenish supplies.

The rivers and water systems around here, as well as the surrounding mountains and wilderness, have long been swept away by these officers and soldiers of the Sailor Division during their daily training, and now they are all the territory of the Kingdom of Heaven.

However, it is already a sparsely populated area. It's a big place, but it doesn't have a big population, so there's no pollution or anything.

Gu Jizhi has carefully surveyed and sorted out these places, and now they have become standard areas for soil and water conservation and no pollution.

He plans to spread the practice to the rest of the Yangtze River basin once he conquers it.

The rear is consolidated, and there is still a response in the front, and Gu Jizhi received an order from Mai Ke. Immediately, the whole line was dispatched, rushing out of the Tongtian River and flowing downstream.

The Tongtian River is a section of the Yangtze River after the three headwaters of the Yangtze River, all the way to the Batang estuary downstream.

This section of the main channel in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is smooth sailing, and the towns on both sides of the river are also looking down on the wind.

Several relatively large cities, Qumalai and Yushu, have opened their doors and surrendered, this is the area covered by the strength of the Celestial Army, and the forces opposing the Celestial Army are not exterminated in advance. It's just that it's weakened and has no power to fight back.

After Batang, you will enter the Jinsha River section.

The first half of the Jinsha River did not encounter much obstruction. Because the places it passes through are still relatively desolate.

However, when it comes to Panzhihua, the resistance increases.

It doesn't matter whether it's a city or a village, they all use all kinds of methods to resist the heavenly army!

Panzhihua City. The fleet, which put the Celestial Army in charge of attacking the cities along the way, suffered heavy losses!

In charge of this fleet was Meng Yong, who was originally a boat gang, who had already fought bravely, and when he saw that the enemy's stubborn resistance caused heavy casualties to the Heavenly Army, he brought in heavy artillery. Bombard all those Qing troops who refused to surrender.

Although this approach wiped out the enemy cleanly and completely, it also provoked more stubborn resistance from the Manchu soldiers and village warriors who guarded the city behind.

They even used some clumsy methods to stop the celestial army.

In some places, trees are seen and thrown into the river, causing the river to be blocked.

In other places, the mountains and rocks on both sides of the river are used to roll down into the river and form a reef.

All of this gave Peter a headache!

He had no choice but to use the animal allies and let them dredge the river.

These animal allies were originally intended to attack the enemy by surprise on the main battlefield, but now they are used in advance, exposing their hole cards.

Since it was so difficult to fight, Gu Jizhi had to leave some ships to continue the siege and attack at every difficult place to conquer, while the rest of the ships maintained their speed and headed east.

In the end, all the ships that were originally going to sweep the coast were all allocated, but it was still not enough, so they had to use the ships left behind for the main battlefield.

In this case, the speed of the entire fleet was also affected, and Gu Jizhi had to be patient and destroy the enemy in front of him first.

At the same time, Mai Ke had arrived at the headquarters of the Celestial Army, located in a small village on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Xiongji Ridge.

There were not many people here, only a battalion or so of soldiers defended there. However, they are all veterans of the Heavenly Army, and their ability is secondary, and they are incomparable in terms of loyalty.

They all knew Mai Ke, greeted him one after another, and some even touched the clouded leopard.

The clouded leopard shook its head and showed their friendship to them.

Liuhua and Zhang Yuan greeted each other, exchanged pleasantries, and the three of them entered the combat exercise room together.

A huge sand table shows the position and strength of both sides, the enemy is the blue flag, our army is the red flag, and one flag represents 100,000 soldiers, and the general situation of the two sides is clear at a glance.

"If it's a dog that is closed, just completely seal the Jiangbei line. Six strokes finished the introduction of the situation and suggested.

"Well, if the Yangtze River Water Division is blockaded again, the enemy will completely cut off the hope of running to the south of the Yangtze River! I suggest that we seize this opportunity. Zhang Yuan also expressed his opinions bluntly.

"There is only one thing, our strength is on a par with the enemy; and in terms of combat effectiveness, the remaining people of the enemy are all elites, and the non-elite ones have long been wiped out during the decisive battle between the two rivers! The reinforcements on both routes are also elite and strong generals, and if they are trapped to death, they may be burned to death, and they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. ”

Six strokes further analyzed.

"Think of another way?" asked McCor.

"Another choice is to let them go! Because this is on the north bank of the Yangtze River, if the net is opened, it is very likely that they will really run away and lose this rare fighter! The emperor and the sixth master are here. Of course, Liuhua is also thoughtful about another plan, and I don't know how many times I have weighed the pros and cons.

"Moreover, the enemy's sailor is also very strong, and it is Peng Xuelin, the commander of the sailor, who is here to make trouble! I have to say that he still has two water battles. Zhang Yuan said helplessly.

Having entered the waters of the Yangtze River, with the cover of the enemy's warships, it will be even more difficult for the Heavenly Army to pursue it.

Mai Ke suddenly thought, let go and let the enemy run, when pursuing on the road, first pack up a part of the Qing army, and then use two powerful sailors to close the door on the Yangtze River again, wouldn't it seem to be open, so that the enemy is at a loss, and it is impossible to escape?

McCor told the two of them about this idea, and the two immediately agreed loudly, and even said that it was wonderful!.
