Before the war, Li Shanchang began to prepare grain and grass, and now all the grain and grass have been transported to Jinling. After he finished reporting on the grain and grass, Chang Yuchun stepped forward to report: "King Wu, now our army has recruited soldiers and brave soldiers, and the number has reached 250,000, including 200,000 foot cavalry and 50,000 sailors. There are dozens of building ships and countless small boats. It's enough to fight against Meng Yuan's water master!"

Mongolian sailors, in the world where Gao Cheng was originally located, is a joke, but in this world, Mongolian sailors still have strong combat effectiveness, with Meng Yuan's national strength, as long as they are willing to consume money, food and materials, even if they are piled up, a huge naval army can be piled up.

Although Chang Yuchun said that the navy was enough to fight against the Mengyuan sailor, Gao Cheng didn't dare to be completely reassured, he turned his head to look at Yang Xiao and asked, "Have the 10,000 elites of the Five Elements Banner arrived?"

Gao Cheng is getting stronger and stronger in both strength and power, the so-called being in his position to raise his qi, coupled with the dragon qi in his body, the momentum around him is getting stronger and stronger, and sometimes just a calm face and a cold glance can make people tremble.

Yang Xiao replied respectfully: "Sect Master, the Five Elements Banner has come to Wuhu, and he is on his way by boat at this time, and he can reach Jinling within a day!"

Gao Cheng's expression eased slightly, and he said: "Okay! In this battle with the Tartars, the Five Elements Banner is very important, especially the Flame Banner! The firearms in their hands are sharp weapons to break the enemy! As long as the Five Elements Banner arrives, our army's hope of victory will be more than sixty percent!"

After Zhu Sheng joined the Ming army, he inquired in detail about all the elites and troops of the Ming army, and knew a lot about the situation of the elite of the Five Elements Banner, and said: "There are 100,000 Tartar sailors, and the general of the navy is the barbarian Hague, and his subordinate Kang Maocai and others are also generals, so the king should not be careless!"

Gao Cheng said: "Sir, rest assured, although the Mengyuan naval army is elite, it is in the lower reaches of Yangzhou. Our army has already occupied a favorable geographical position as it descends along the river! Moreover, the Mengyuan army has just arrived in a hurry from the Central Plains, and the soldiers are tired, while our army has won successive battles and has strong morale. Based on this alone, our army is 60 percent sure of a great victory!"

When Zhu Sheng heard this, he felt that Gao Cheng did not underestimate the enemy, so he was relieved. This battle of Yangzhou was very important, and it was the biggest test for the Ming army to take over the land south of the Yangtze River. It can be described as Jackie Chan's difficulty.

If the Ming army can defeat the 500,000 army of Mengyuan, then the next step will be to use troops to expand and advance into the Central Plains, and there will be a general trend of dominating the world.

The best result is to hold on for a few years, and then it will be completely defeated by Meng Yuan's continuous blows.

After discussing the matter of sending troops, Yang Xiao reported again: "Sect Master, the Bat King came with news not long ago, and the masters of the three major factions under Meng Yuan were all dispatched, and the head of the King Kong Temple, the sect master of the Dragon Elephant Sect, and the leader of the Iron Palm Gang were all rushing to Yangzhou. In addition to the masters of the three major factions, there are also the two elders of Xuanming, the masters of the Vajra Gate, the Tibetan Lama, and the Kutoutuo, who are strong men who have taken refuge in Meng Yuan!"

"These people are all world-famous masters, if they all come to the army, I am afraid it will pose a great threat to us!"

When Chang Yuchun heard this, he couldn't help frowning. He is a general who leads the troops, and he knows the terrifying combat power of the masters of the rivers and lakes, if he allows a master to impact the military formation, he will definitely be able to break through the bamboo, and he should be invincible.

Gao Cheng waved his hand and said, "I have my own way to deal with these people!"

Just kidding, his current strength is the best in this world, even if Zhang Sanfeng and Li Mochou are about to sit down at the same time, he can easily deal with it.

Although the son of the daughter can't sit down, at this time, Gao Cheng will not scruple about this, and when necessary, he will personally go into battle to deal with Meng Yuan's masters.

Yang Xiao also thought of the sect leader's strength at this time, when he was in Guangming Ding, all the masters of the Ming Sect were not the opponents of the sect master, after such a long time, the sect master's strength would definitely improve, even if Meng Yuanlai had more strong people, he was not afraid.

......

Three days later, Zhenjiang Daying.

The Ming army has gathered 200,000 troops in Zhenjiang, the foot cavalry is backed by Nanshan, the large camp is continuous, and the edge can not be seen at a glance, Yin Yewang, Hu Dahai and Feng Guoyong and others led the water division to set up a camp in Jiangxinzhou, firmly guarding the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Gao Cheng sat on the podium, looking down. At this time, the Five Elements Banner of the Ming Sect has arrived, the Ruijin Banner is in charge of Zhuang Zheng, the deputy is Wu Jincao, the Jumu Flag is in charge of Wen Cangsong, the Flood Flag is in charge of Tang Yang, the Fire Flag is in charge of Xin Ran, and the Houtu Banner is in charge of Yan Yuan.

Among them, the elite of the Ruijin Banner hangs a short axe on the waist, inserts a javelin on the back, and holds a bow and arrow. The elites of the Houtu Banner, the Flood Banner, and the Giant Wood Banner also have good combat effectiveness.

However, what caught Gao Cheng's attention the most was the firearm of the Flame Banner, which was not a musket or artillery, but a fire oil! Near the Guangming Peak of Kunlun Mountain, black oil was abundant, and after careful refining, it became a flame weapon that could not be burned.

"Isn't this just oil? The Fire Banner actually made this oil into an incendiary bomb, with the help of such a sharp weapon, and with the help of fire, it will definitely be able to win with one blow!"

Gao Cheng saw the elite of the Fire Banner throw out the fire oil, and the ground suddenly burned, and the flames could not even be extinguished by water, and he was very satisfied. After defeating the Mongol Yuan army with fire oil, Mongolia will definitely react and send skilled craftsmen from the Western Regions to make such sharp weapons.

However, by that time, he had already defeated Meng Yuan's army of 500,000 and completely occupied the south!

Even if Meng Yuan also had oil oil, he lost the opportunity.

"Everyone should have seen it, with the help of the fire oil of the Flame Flag, prepare a small boat, and go down the river, you will definitely be able to defeat the Mengyuan Water Division, and our army will win this battle!"

Gao Cheng sat on the top, looked at the people below, and said in a deep voice. His left and right sides, on the left are Zhu Sheng, Lan Yu, Hu Dahai, Feng Sheng and others, and on the right are Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng, Yin Yewang, Wei Yixiao, and Wusanren.

The two sides are clearly distinguished, and there is a faint estrangement. As for Chang Yuchun, he belongs to Gao Cheng's apprentice and is a confidant. Squire stood beside him.

The subordinates of the Wu Wangfu were originally respected by Li Shanchang, but he was in Jinling at this time, and apart from him, Zhu Sheng had the highest status.

Zhu Sheng looked at the elite of the 10,000 Five Elements Banner below, and exclaimed: "Such an elite, used on the battlefield, why don't the enemy urge, why won't the city be broken?" Congratulations to the king, our army will be able to break the Yuan soldiers in this battle!"

Gao Cheng and Zhu Sheng sang and harmonized, and even let the Five Elements Banner practice below, in order to boost morale! The more than 200,000 troops under his command, except for the 50,000 originally trained, were all soldiers who had just gone through one or two battles and had not yet completely transformed.

When these people heard that Meng Yuan had an army of 500,000, their own side was only 250,000, and their strength was only half of the enemy's, they couldn't help but feel cowardice in their hearts. You have to find a way to motivate you. After all, no matter how strong Gao Cheng's strength is, he can't destroy the 500,000 army of Meng Yuan alone, and he must rely on the strength of these soldiers!
