Hong Chengchou lightly motioned for Zhang Chaoxuan to sit down, as if he didn't care about this new title at all.

"It's so late, I don't know why Governor Zhang came here to Benjingluo?"

"Qi Qi Hong is old, and the lower officials have some words that are not spit out and unhappy. But after all, he couldn't say it during the day, so he thought about waiting until the evening to come to Hong Lao Jingluo in person. ”

Zhang Chaoxuan's face did not change, his heart did not beat, and his demeanor was calm, like an outsider who watched coldly.

Hong Chengchou is now a little curious, what will this Zhang Chaoxuan say.

"Let's talk about it."

"I don't know if Hong Lao Jingluo has noticed the state of King Pingnan and King Jingnan today, the two don't seem to care much about what the Ming Army does."

Zhang Chaoxuan swallowed and spitted and said: "Xiaguan has a bold idea, maybe the two of them wish that the battle of the Qing Dynasty would be lost." ”

It's one thing to speculate about some things, but it's another thing to say them openly.

Hong Chengchou squinted his eyes and stared at Zhang Chaoxuan, and only after a long time did he exhale a breath: "Listening to Governor Zhang's meaning, is it to conclude that the two princes are clear?" ”

"This is not necessarily, what Xia Guan means is that the two of them may prefer to see a chaotic world rather than a unified country."

Zhang Chao smiled and said: "There is a way for those who steal pearls and steal the country." What kind of people Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi are, presumably Hong Laojing is slightly clearer than the lower officials. The two of them were able to tear off a piece of meat from the mouth of the imperial court, so they were naturally reluctant to spit it out again. If the Ming army is defeated now, the Qing Dynasty will unify the world. Then the next step is bound to attack Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi. It's only a matter of time before it happens. And the defeat of the Ming army can speed it up. ”

Zhang Chaoxuan said it without hesitation, but Hong Chengchou did not reply directly.

He stroked his beard, as if thinking about something.

For a long time, Hong Chengchou took a sip of the teacup, and then continued: "If the two of them stand by and watch, do you think the imperial court can still tolerate them?" Even if you make an appearance to the court, you have to show your real skills. ”

"Hong Lao Jinglu, do you still expect the two of you to be able to contribute? Maybe they really wanted to fight when they first came. But after the death of Shang Zhixin, the son of Shang Kexi, can he still have this thought? Geng Jimao saw the fate of the Shang family, how could he contribute again? ”

Zhang Chaoxuan was like a fly that found the crack of the braised egg, and pounced fiercely.

"You are telling Ben Jing to cure the sins of the two?"

Hong Chengchou raised his eyebrows and said: "Do you know that the big war is imminent, and this kind of behavior is likely to directly push the two of them to the opposite side of our army." ”

"Haha, Hong Laojing was a little worried. Xia Guan just felt that he should be more wary of the two, and did not say that he would punish them. ”

Zhang Chaoxuan said lightly: "If there is a chance in the future, Hong Laojing can test the two of them, and he must know it after a try." ”

"Well, it's not too early, so the lower officials won't disturb Hong Laojing to rest. Leave. ”

After saying that, Zhang Chaoxuan arched his hand and turned to leave.

Seeing Zhang Chaoxuan disappear from sight, Hong Chengchou frowned and pondered secretly.

This Zhang Chaoxuan is really unpredictable.

He came here so late and said bad things to himself about Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, what good did it do him?

Hong Chengchou was puzzled!

That's it, one step at a time. In the current situation, no matter how much you think about it, it is useless.

...

...

Early the next morning, Hong Chengchou got up early to wash.

He changed his clothes and put on his boots, and put on a soft armor over his body.

Although the fortifications of the Qing army outside Nanchang were very strong, Hong Chengchou decided to arm himself in place just in case.

After all, he is now the absolute commander and soul of this Qing army.

If he had three strengths and two weaknesses, this Qing army would collapse in an instant. Think

Hong Chengchou doesn't think that relying on Zhang Chaoxuan and his ilk can stand up to the situation.

As for Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, they are even more unreliable.

When everything was ready, Hong Chengchou rode out of the city.

The Qing army camp outside the city has not changed much from yesterday.

On the contrary, the Ming army camp on the opposite side looked more stable.

The camps of the two sides faced each other like this, and countless trenches twisted and turned like earthworms.

Looking down from above, it's like a labyrinth corridor.

"Hong Jing got up very early, and his complexion seems to be good."

Zhang Chaoxuan came over again and said in a harmonious voice: "I don't know how Hong Jingluo is going to fight today." ”

Although Hong Chengchou didn't want to deal with Zhang Chaoxuan, he still opened his mouth after thinking about it.

"Naturally, it's a bombardment with cannons. The camp of the Ming army has advanced to this position and has completely entered the range of our army. If you don't bombard it with cannons, wouldn't you be sorry for the dozen or so red-clothed cannons in Nanchang City? ”

"Well, I see." Zhang Chaoxuan squinted his eyes and said: "But the Ming army seems to have artillery, and the lower officials want to see what the artillery on these two sides looks like." ”

Hong Chengchou was too lazy to talk to Zhang Chaoxuan here, and directly ordered his own soldiers: "Pass the order, the gunners prepare, and the muzzles are aimed at the Ming army camp." Give this official a hard bang! ”

At this distance, the power of the red-coated cannon is the greatest, and Hong Chengchou plans to use artillery fire first, give the Ming army some color to see, and then look at the situation to decide the next plan.

It can either steadily advance the front or hit the main force.

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately went to give the order.

Although the Qing Army's Green Battalion Army had limited field capabilities, its use of firearms was not bad.

Especially the Nanchang Green Battalion, because it can often touch the fire gun, the mastery of this thing can be described as proficient.

As soon as the order was heard, the Green Battalion reoriented the cannon and loaded the shells.

In this kind of confrontation situation, it is difficult for one side to really have an advantage, and if you want to open up the situation, you naturally have to rely on big guys like artillery.

The guns of the Qing army were aimed at the Ming army's position a mile away, and the herald gave an order, and the Qing soldiers lit the gunpowder one after another.

Then the shells were fired, cutting arcs in the air, flying towards the Ming army's position.

Seeing this, the Ming soldiers fell to the ground one after another and buried their bodies behind the bunker.

When they dug the trenches again, they thought of the red-coated cannons of the Qing army, which were dug deeper than usual, and the breastwork in front of the trenches was also piled higher and thicker.

The artillery bombardment of the Qing army was extremely intensive, and the Ming army still had to avoid its edge for the time being.

The solid shells mostly hit the breastwork.

The strong impact force caused the chest wall to collapse quite a bit, and some parts were even directly pierced.

However, after the blockage of the breastwork, the speed of the shells decreased a lot, and the power after the second ricochet was greatly reduced, and it was difficult to pose a greater threat to the Ming soldiers in the trenches.

Zhu Youlang, who was in the distance, was very satisfied when he saw this scene.

The Qing army learned to dig trenches without learning the essence, but the Ming army could adapt to the layout of the Qing army.

No matter how you look at it, the Ming army has a better chance of winning this battle.
