While supervising the training of various armies, Bolo urged Zheng Zhilong to step up shipbuilding and ship modification.

As it gets colder and colder day by day, the day of the decisive battle in Jiangnan is approaching day by day. As the war approached, Bolo paid more and more attention to secrecy and the accumulation of food and ammunition, and at the same time moved his army from place to place to confuse the enemy's spies.

Today, the New Army is more or less fully equipped. The complete set of equipment of an eight-banner soldier now consists of a "spear-type crossbow", a steel knife or spear, and a war horse. This is just a normal cavalry, and the infantry is mostly charioted, also armed with a "spear crossbow", steel knives, and "chain fireballs".

After the study of Bo Luo and Zheng Zhilong, the tactics of war have also undergone great changes. The change of the Qing army's crab chela array was that the Chinese army was a large array of chariots and artillery, and the cannons would be pushed forward under the cover of the chariots, although the progress was a little slow, but it was difficult to break through during the battle, and the cavalry was hidden behind the large array. When the large array approached the enemy camp, the artillery fire destroyed the enemy camp, and the cavalry quickly charged the breach or attacked from both flanks to the enemy's flank.

As for the navy, Zheng Zhilong understood that a large number of new ships were built in February and March, which was pure nonsense. It's just that it is not only cost-effective to modify the original ship, but also much faster to meet the needs of the next battle plan. Therefore, he modified the warships of the Qing army to his navy.

First of all, the modified ship was designated as a sail car. First of all, this kind of ship is faster, and it is more agile in naval warfare, and after replacing the treadmill with ball bearings, the efficiency is not much higher than in the past.

Not only has the number of cannons increased from 36 to 72, but the bow mast with a bow jib boisker is mounted on the bow of the ship, where two square sails, a slash sail and a slash mid-mast sail, are hung to increase speed and adaptability to wind direction. The speed of the warship has also increased from the fastest nine knots in the past to about ten knots. These were the gifts that Bolo had prepared for his enemies, for the enemies he had always wanted to defeat.

Regarding the frequent activities of the Qing army, both the military intelligence bureau of the Shenzhou Army and Wu Shengzhao's spies felt that something was wrong. It is a pity that because of the unstable situation in the newly occupied island of Taiwan, most of the investigators have been transferred back to implement the policy of "absolutely guaranteeing the stability of Shenzhou City".

Despite this, the news of Bolo's mobilization of troops, the gathering of grain, grass, and chariots was still transmitted to the hands of the Shenzhou Army Intelligence Bureau, and the news of Huang Binqing's troop mobilization was also collected.

According to the analysis, the Shenzhou Military Security Bureau suspects that the Qing army is very likely to cooperate with Huang Binqing, but the specific cooperation method and launch date are motivated by the Jianghu figures of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the information collected is often chaotic or lacks evidence to prove, so it is impossible to make an accurate judgment.

However, they still issued a yellow alert to the Jiangnan battlefield, which was mainly responsible for the Military Intelligence Bureau, and asked important personnel to quickly retreat to Wenzhou or hide on the spot to ensure their own safety. Intelligence work was further affected by the massive withdrawal of professionals.

Lu Zhanpeng, the carp of the river, is the sixth of the six heroes of Huainan, and he is one of the uglies of the martial arts group who was shocked by the intelligence officers recruited by Chen Rong in the battle of Yangzhou. He was also the only one who was not punished, and later became a peripheral of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Shenzhou Army because of the relationship between his five brothers.

It's just that he didn't completely let go of that matter, and secretly still colluded with the Qing army through Zhu Yige, of course, he didn't know what kind of fate his behavior would bring to him in the future, but now he is very happy, not only the military intelligence bureau of the Shenzhou Army will give him an activity fund, but the Qing army also has rewards from time to time.

At this moment, the six brothers were riding horses, galloping on the main road in the town, and they were going to run to the town on the edge of Taihu Lake. There are connectors there who will take in the important news they have just gotten.

The Qing army was about to launch an attack on the Lujian State Department in Jiangnan in the near future, and since Bolo would have to help him cross the river with the help of a boat that could help him cross the river, they even got a specific date.

Seeing that not far in front of them is their liaison station "Lao Zheng Restaurant", but it is a little strange that winter is the season of farming, and the town should be lively, but today there are only a few "idlers" dangling there.

The boss turned over the river and Hou Hou suddenly stretched out his hand to pull the reins of the horse and strangled the horse with a "hoo", and the other brothers saw this, although they didn't know what to do, but they also reached out and pulled the reins.

The repentant and impatient old five Lin Zhongqi Lin Shen opened his mouth and said, "Big brother, the old Zheng family is not far away?" Why stop! ”

The boss looked vigilant, looked around with a pair of eagle eyes, stretched out his hand to stop his question, and said: "How do I feel that there is a murderous aura here, brothers, be careful, something is wrong!" ”

While they were talking, several large cars slowly came out of the side alleys, blocking not only their way, but also their way. The Qing soldiers of the brigade either carried "spear-type crossbows" or broadswords and spears in their hands, and poured out of the alleys, instantly surrounding several brothers.

"Choking" saw that something was wrong, and the brothers all set aside their blades, but in the face of the overlapping Qing soldiers, the brothers knew that they were only afraid of being robbed tonight.

As soon as he took out something from his arms, he suddenly shouted: "Brother, go quickly." The object in his hand was thrown into the crowd of Qing soldiers. None of the Qing soldiers who had suffered from this thing did not recognize that it was a grenade of the Shenzhou Army, and they scattered and ran to the side with an exclamation.

With a "boom" explosion, a gap was opened in the overlapping Qing army's encirclement. However, the boss turned the river rat and paid the price of his life in a bowstring sound, and dozens of short arrows were shot in his body recently.

However, the other five brothers knew that this was not the time to be angry, and it was important to send the news to the Shenzhou Army as soon as possible. The brothers roared angrily, and while swinging their weapons and firing the crossbow arrows that did not keep shooting, they beat their horses and urged their mounts under their crotches to rush towards the gap.

However, it was impossible to escape from Bolo's well-trained soldiers. As soon as the five of them moved their mounts, the Qing soldiers had already shouted and surrounded them. The second, third, fourth, and three brothers jumped up and grabbed the weapons in their hands to fight with the Qing soldiers who rushed to fight.

These Jianghu characters, although they have enough battlefield experience, but their kung fu is much stronger than ordinary soldiers, especially in the melee, the blades in the hands of the brothers danced, holding on to the breach, hoping that the two youngest of the six could escape.

But at this moment, the two handguard hooks flashed with a snowy light......
