In the midst of the busyness, Rao was the efficiency of the model army, and it was not until the evening that all aspects of the war were cleaned up.

In this battle, the actual capture of the model army was not large, only one or two thousand, but it captured more than 18,000 prisoners, of which seventy percent were soldiers of Guan Ning and Wuzhen Hachao, and nearly half of the elite.

In other words, these elite soldiers can go directly to the battlefield by changing their clothes and taking weapons.

And for various reasons, for these beheaded corpses, Xu Changqing couldn't cut off their heads, but spent some manpower to bury them well......

I have to say that this is definitely a miracle in the war.

But even if these soldiers can be used, in such a state at this time, Xu Changqing will definitely not be in a hurry.

"Master Hou, all the disposals have basically been completed, and they have all been registered. In this battle of our model army, more than 70 officers at or above the general level of the two green flags were captured. In addition, there were seven guerrillas, three staff generals, one deputy general, and one deputy commander-in-chief......"

In the big tent, Huang Shu was carefully reporting more detailed results to Xu Changqing, and he had already completely regarded himself as a model army, under Xu Changqing's command.

Looking at Huang Shu's excited appearance, the eyes of the two little mice almost seemed to shine, Xu Changqing touched the beard on his chin, and his heart was a little mottled for a while.

Frankly speaking, Xu Changqing really doesn't have a good impression of Huang Shu, and he can accurately evaluate it in four words: "Cunning man." ”

However, even Xu Changqing has to admit that this guy's ability to do things is really strong.

Since the model army became an army, Xu Changqing rarely brought civil servants in the army, at most a few small civilian officials who participated in the army to assist.

But at this time, with the addition of Huang Shu, not only greatly reduced Xu Changqing's labor intensity, but also some of the efficiency was higher than before.

After reporting the results of the battle, Huang Shu said excitedly: "Master Hou, according to the news that we don't receive at night, the main force of the Qing army at this time has retreated to the north line of Yangzhou City, and it is still retreating. Not surprisingly, the siege of Yangzhou has been half solved. However, the strategic intention of the Tartars has not been completely abandoned, and they probably want to let us enter Yangzhou City, so as to besiege Yangzhou City......"

Xu Changqing nodded slowly, and he also made a decision in his heart, and said with a smile: "Lao Huang, you have worked hard today." ”

Huang Shu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and knelt directly on the ground: "Master Hou, forgive the lower official for being dull and pedantic before, and only today did he think through many things. Master Hou, don't worry, next, you will look at the performance of the lower officials......"

At this time, if someone else sees the scene in front of them, I am afraid that their jaws will fall to the ground.

Huang Shu, the squire of the military department, came on behalf of the imperial court, even if Xu Changqing was a noble and a nobleman, he was nominally subject to his control, but at this time, everything was reversed......

Xu Changqing smiled and waved his hand: "People, we can't just look at the past, we still have to look forward." Lao Huang, I, Xu Changqing, am not a saint, and I am not confused. In the future, you still need to rely on Lao Huang to help me more. ”

Listening to Xu Changqing's extremely down-to-earth words, Huang Shu's heart was as comfortable as a bottle of ice falling on dog days.

These words, more than any promise, made him more down-to-earth.

Xu Changqing wants to work with him for a long time, and really use him.

Huang Shu didn't say anything more, just kowtowed to Xu Changqing heavily, and stepped aside obediently.

Seeing Huang Shu so upright, Xu Changqing didn't ink, and directly discussed the next step with him.

At this time, although the model army won the victory in the battle of Qiancun, and suddenly there were many more capable men and cut through the sharp edge of the Qing army, but the situation was still not too optimistic, and there was still no real solution to the problem.

The most nuclear

There are two points of the heart.

First, the model army did not really hit the main force of the Qing army, and the Qing army still had a very strong combat power at this time.

The second point is that the Qing army's rangers are still threatening the rear of the model army, and the logistics line of the model army for more than 100 miles is still not smooth.

Moreover, with these nearly 20,000 fierce men, to a large extent, they can't abuse them too much, but they have no food and grass supply, and the grain and grass crisis of the model army has also begun to expand.

As a result, although Yangzhou City is close at hand, whether to go or not and when to go are all big choices that are directly related to fate.

After doing today's work, Huang Shu also has some understanding of the system of the model army, and he also understands the whole general trend, and said with a frown: "Master Hou, in the shallow view of the following officials, it is not appropriate for us to act rashly and enter Yangzhou for the time being." Still need to be a little steady. Yangzhou, as a rich land in my Ming Dynasty, is relatively wealthy, and the grain and grass are in relatively good condition, but the lower officials are a little afraid...... If so, if the Tartars come and surrender some people again, I am afraid that it will exacerbate the evolution of the situation. In addition, the consumption of such a big war is very high, and our model army needs to replenish ammunition as soon as possible to support ......"

opened his heart and had a future, Huang Shuzi also tried his best to plan for Xu Changqing and the model army.

This guy's thinking is very keen, and he is also skilled in various grassroots work experience, and he is also familiar with military affairs, so Xu Changqing is really easy to use him at this time.

After listening to his analysis, Xu Changqing nodded slowly, "Lao Huang, in your opinion, I am a model army, how to solve the supply threat of the Qing army to our army?" ”

"This ......"

Huang Shu frowned, looked at Xu Changqing, and hurriedly lowered his head, contemplating his thoughts.

After a while, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Hou Ye, this may not be very good, but Xia Guan, as a subordinate, still decided to tell Hou Ye." ”

As he spoke, he also let go, and said decisively: "Master Hou, at this time, my model army is not unable to replenish, but the price is quite large. If our model army must be resupplied, then either the army will retreat, or the main force of the large battalion on the riverbank will cover the supply. Either way, it's going to be a lot of work. Moreover, this is not conducive to the fact that our model army will kill and injure the main force of the Qing army in the future. The people around Yangzhou, and even the entire Jiangbei region, are afraid that they will also suffer a lot of poison......"

After speaking, he bowed deeply to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Lao Huang, I'm not a person who can't listen to what others say, you don't have to be too nervous." This is also my doubt. But there's no rush to decide on this matter, so you can go down and rest first. Let's talk about it slowly tomorrow. ”

"Yes. Master Hou, you also rested earlier, and the lower official retired......"

Watching Huang Shu leave, Xu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

By this time, Xu Changqing had basically determined that Huang Shu was 'Wang Ba eating scales', and he was determined to follow him.

His vision and ability will be a great help to himself and the model army.

But if you want to really solve the problem and break the backbone of the Qing Dynasty, it will take time to brew and pave the way.

After thinking about it for a while, Chunni ran over with a gust of fragrant wind, pouting unhappily and said, "Brother Xu, why have you been with that ink blot surnamed Huang for so long." Although he is very respectful to me, I don't look like a good person at first glance, so don't trust him too much......"

Xu Changqing smiled: "It was fine just now, why did you change your face in a blink of an eye?" Who is not famous? ”

While speaking, Xu Changqing poured Chunni a cup of tea and motioned for her to sit beside him.

Chunni sat next to Xu Changqing, took a sip of the teacup, and said indignantly: "It's nothing." It's a little aggrieved for Sister Baozhu. Those people in Nanjing are so annoying, and they have to sneak around to do anything in our women's battalion. Originally, Sister Baozhu wanted to comfort the officers and soldiers tonight, but the Nanjing gang was wandering around the camp and could only wait for tomorrow. ”

Looking at Chunni's delicate little appearance, Xu Changqing's heart gradually relaxed, and said with a smile: "We are still the army of the Ming Dynasty, don't you let the Qincha of the imperial court take a look and turn around more?" What kind of reasoning is this? If you can't do it today, you will see it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Well, don't think about it. Perhaps, we will be able to go to Yangzhou tomorrow. ”

"To Yangzhou?"

Chunni's eyes lit up suddenly: "Brother Xu, does that mean that we have already won?" ”

……

chatted with Chunni for most of the hour, and finally broke through the various temptations of this girl and sent her away, Xu Changqing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

This girl looks simple, but in fact, she is very careful, not a stupid person.

On the one hand, she was already taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Baozhu's absence to constantly seduce herself, but on the other hand, she had built an alliance with Zhang Baozhu.

In the short term, this seems a bit naïve, but it may not be long before she can receive a lot of gains from this layout.

But Xu Changqing's mind quickly turned back to the war.

Now, it's up to Dorgon to see how deep their obsession with this war is!

……

Just as the model army could not break through the cavalry blockade of the Qing army, the Qing army was never able to break through the hot air balloon suppression of the model army.

Each side has a killer weapon, and it can barely maintain the balance of the war.

But at this time, whether it is the Qing army or the model army, they can feel it, and it is obvious that the suppressive force of the model army is stronger and more ruthless.

Early the next morning, all kinds of latest information came back.

At this time, the main force of the Qing army had retreated to the area of Shugang Mountain, and the Qing army units on the east and west sides of Yangzhou had also retreated more than thirty or forty miles.

Although it is reluctant to encircle Yangzhou, the intention is not easy to figure out, and it must be boundless from firmness.

Xu Changqing thought about it all night, but he also made a decision simply and decisively, the army no longer inked, and marched directly into Yangzhou!

Around noon.

The night of the model army has been in contact with Yangzhou City several times, until the banner of the main force of the model army can be faintly seen on the south of Yangzhou City.

"Master Hou, like a baby looking forward to his parents, he finally waited for reinforcements to come......

As soon as he saw Xu Changqing, even Shi Kefa's city government could no longer support it, his eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he saluted Xu Changqing deeply.

Many of the other accompanying civil servants and generals also had a lot of snot and tears.

Of course, these people are definitely not as sincere as Shi Kefa.

Xu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward to help Shi Kefa up, and said with a smile: "Cabinet, your words are too polite. If there is no cabinet to defend Yangzhou, Changqing and others will not have this belief to support it. ”

The two hugged him heavily, Shi Kefa was busy wiping away his tears, and began to carefully communicate with Xu Changqing about the information on Yangzhou's side.

The entourage on both sides was busy and kept up quickly.

The gang under Shi Kefa soon heard the news of the two successive victories of the Model Army, and they were all excited and couldn't help themselves.

This is the biggest embarrassment of the traditional Ming army,—— the information is not smooth, and it is extremely unsmooth!

But it's also relieved to think about it.

Even the model army is so powerful, it is firmly suppressed by the iron cavalry of the Qing army, not to mention the traditional Ming army?

Once the war starts, they will often fall into a state of deafness and blindness at the first time, and if it were not for the Qing army deliberately releasing water, a lot of intelligence would not even have a chance to come out.

Here, Xu Changqing and Shi Kefa did not communicate about the war first, but mainly inquired about Shi Kefa's material storage in Yangzhou City.

But when Shi Kefa finished talking about the details, Xu Changqing's brows couldn't help wrinkling!
