The weather is getting milder and milder, and the breath of the Jiangnan generation is also beginning to be heavy.

Especially in Changsha, Hunan Province, households have fled. made Changsha Mansion, which was already sparsely populated, become ten rooms and nine empty.

The decisive battle of Jiangnan was about to start, and the Manchu army from all walks of life rushed to the Changsha area.

The Manchu Jurchen cavalry also came with 20,000, and the Mongol cavalry also had a total of 80,000, and the cavalry alone had 100,000. But the Tartars only served as overseers, and it was the 500,000 Southern Ming rebels who really went to war.

The four towns in Jiangbei that once shook the two rivers have now become Qing troops. The three major warlords Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Gao Hong each had 100,000 elite soldiers, plus Shang Kexi's 200,000 troops, and these 500,000 soldiers and horses were the main force against the Han army going north.

500,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 iron cavalry made the Manchu army more and more powerful. Hong Chengchou personally led the 10,000 fire battalion as the commander and supervisor of the 600,000 army. Even the deputy governor of the 100,000 iron cavalry, Azig, had to obey his orders, of course, it was a normal order, and Azig would pay attention to it.

Geng Jingzhong of Sichuan and Shu also led 200,000 people to wait for the Han army, and at the same time, there were 30,000 Mongolian cavalry of the deputy marshal General Hata to suppress the formation.

This is not only that, but there are also 200,000 Qing soldiers in the area of Zhenjiangzhou to prevent the Han army and naval division from landing on the river. The towns in Jiangbei were also garrisoned with a lot of soldiers and horses to prevent the Han army from sneaking up on the sea.

The strength of the Han army's naval division contained at least 400,000 soldiers and horses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The entire Manchu Qing Dynasty south of the river had one million soldiers and horses, and these million soldiers and horses were directly commanded by Hong Chengchou.

There is no prince in the army, only the difference between generals and commanders.

"Inspector Hong, all departments of the Han army: in addition to the Han Fifth and Han Sixth Army, there are also the Han Ninth Army, the Han An Army and the two cavalry armies! There were exactly 400,000 foot cavalry, but there were quite a few of their recruits. Shang Kexi's face was as usual, but he was not sure in his heart!

Hong Chengchou smiled lightly and said: "But 400,000 foot cavalry is not enough, what is the total strength of the Han pro-army in Shaoguan City?" ”

"Supervising Shaoguan only has 20,000 infantry and 20,000 city guards of the Han Third Army, and the Han King's heavy cavalry is still in Guangzhou." King Han's movements are what worries Shang Kexi.

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but shake his head: "Hehe, the King of Han is really arrogant, so it is just right to destroy the main force of the Han army while it is not in us." ”

Ah Zige frowned, but he couldn't interfere with Hong Shangshu's commander.

After everyone left, Hong Chengchou also immediately saluted respectfully: "Prince Ying." ”

Ahzig nodded with satisfaction, fortunately this minion still knows his identity.

"Inspector Hong, the Great Western Army of Sichuan and Shu and the Seventh Army of the Han Dynasty have also been dispatched. Now the enemy situation in Dajiangkou is unknown, but the Han army in the East China Sea will definitely be dispatched! ”

Hong Chengchou nodded respectfully: "The prince said yes!" What is this Jiangnan, it depends on how our department responds to these 400,000 Han troops, if we can't quickly defeat them, the situation in Jiangnan will only become more and more erosive! ”

"Well, Inspector Hong can do it with confidence! More than half of the 100,000 iron horsemen can be killed or wounded! "Ahzig also knows that the form is urgent! Not to mention the Han army, the Ming army of the Second Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, they also need to be on guard.

The 400,000-strong army of the Han Army was commanded by Chen Nan, deputy general staff, and Zuo Zongwei, a third-class general, also served as the deputy commander of the army as a staff officer of the military department.

Chen Nan and Zuo Zongwei, plus Chen Chang, Lin Hu, Zhang Shou, Wu Li, Liang En, and Soft Xiaoqi, a total of eight people formed the Jiangnan Theater Command.

The army gathered and the rations were swallowed up like a mountain, and it was impossible for millions of people to wait slowly!

At this time, all the intrigues and tricks became a joke, and everything was talked to in iron and blood.

On a front of tens of kilometers, the two armies took three gentle terrain types as decisive battle points. Among them, the main battlefield in Changsha is the top priority, and most of the troops are invested in the decisive battle in Changsha.

Knock knock~~ The drums of war did not stop early in the morning, and the two armies began to approach slowly after an hour.

The tragic trumpet is extremely bleak, because the main fighters are all Han people, even if they have betrayed the Han family.

The Qing army was still pushing shield carts and dense large shield soldiers to press towards the Han army step by step, and this time the Han army had no trenches to hide.

Chen Nan immediately ordered: "Transfer the Chongzhen Fire Gun to the front line." ”

"Honorable Order." Chen Chang Lin Hu immediately received the order, and they also knew that ordinary firecrackers could no longer threaten the Great Shield Soldiers.

With an order, Chongzhen's nineteenth fire gun soldiers immediately stepped forward.

Stepping on the foot ~~ Thousands of shield cars slowly approached in two columns, and the 20,000 shield soldiers behind them made the ground tremble.

"Five hundred meters away~" The silver man who measured the distance immediately shouted.

"Distance of four hundred and fifty meters~"

"Ignition~" The commander of the front immediately shouted.

The two hundred cannon commanders were overjoyed and immediately pulled the cannon rope vigorously.

Spray Spray Spray ~~ As soon as the fire soldier opened his eyes, it was all dust in front of him.

Countless streams of fire flew instantly, and the first row of wooden cars immediately shattered and flipped away.

"Quick, rush up, quick!"

"Ah~ rush." The shield cart was almost beaten into a flatbed cart, but more than a thousand pushers could only push wildly. Fortunately, they also have armor, and the iron stream just now failed to penetrate their protection.

Come on! Even if there were still a few hundred meters, the Qing army had to accelerate its advance.

"Hurry up, cool down quickly."

The cleaning is cleaning, and the cooling is also rubbing the barrel with a warm water cloth. Only warm water can be used, and cold water will affect the life of the barrel.

Fortunately, it was not cavalry, and when the Qing army rushed to 200 meters, the artillery also just put the shells into the warm and steaming barrels.

Spray spray spray ~ This time there is no need to order, the gun commanders directly pull the cannon rope.

Xiuxiu~~ Countless streams of fire immediately shuttled to the head of the Qing army.

Bumper ~~ The thick wooden board instantly shattered and flew up.

"Ahh

"Ah~" The hot iron shreds penetrated into the meat, and the Qing soldiers could already smell the smell of barbecue.

"Oh no!" The first column of flat shield soldiers had already squatted as much as possible, but they still couldn't avoid the slaughter of the scattered cannons.

", back off, don't look at it!" The musketeers immediately shouted, which also brought the stunned artillerymen to their senses.

"Let's go, let's go." The artillery hurriedly retreated from several empty lanes, they didn't even want artillery.

Most of the shield chariot soldiers of the Qing soldiers lie down, but the Qing soldiers will not retreat because of this.

"The cannon stops, rush quickly, and the first hundred people who rush over will reward ten slaves."

"Kill the violators, rush, hurry!"

Under the coercion of Gali, the big shield soldiers all stepped on the shield cart and charged!

"Chong, Chong~"

When 20,000 men rushed to 150 meters, the firecrackers filled the empty passage.

"The first column is half squatting, and the second column is close to the first column to prepare."

The first row of 2,000 musketeers immediately half-crouched on the ground, and the second column also placed their muskets above their heads.

"The third column is ready."

Several range-measuring battalion-level staff officers immediately shouted: "One hundred and ten meters away." ”

"One or two columns of shots, and then they all crouched."

Bang Bang~~ Four thousand iron beads flew instantly, and the smoke was much less after the fire.

The new Chongzhen guns and Chongzhen guns all use yellow gunpowder, and the other flintlock firearms are still granular black powder.

Bump~ Mu Dun wore it, and the huge strength brought the shield soldiers! The thick wood was heavy and heavy, so that the iron ball could not penetrate the protection of the Qing soldiers.

"Kill~ Kill it." The Qing soldiers began to fight to the death.

"Haha, it's fine." The Qing soldiers who got up also charged happily.

"Good! Let the cavalry slow down. "It's about to approach the Han army, Hong Chengchou was immediately overjoyed, and immediately let 20,000 Mongolian cavalry follow.

"The third column fires, the fourth prepares."

Bang Bang ~ Two thousand iron beads flew out again, and this time it didn't kill a few Qing soldiers, but it also greatly reduced the speed of Qing soldiers, but many shields were also completely shattered.
