The time was very fast, and in the morning the Han army had all withdrawn. Tomorrow morning is to leave, and this afternoon everyone will put down their business and rest.

This afternoon was the time for the Han army to rest, but it was the time when Chen Xiong officially started work.

Nearly half of the Han army has completed the evolution of grass and wood soldiers, and nearly 3,000 wooden cattle have also been evolved.

There are now more than 6,000 grass and wood people, more than 1,000 stone people, more than 1,000 wooden horses and hundreds of wooden cattle in the pro-military camp. Now there are more and more craftsmen in the Han army, especially the skilled stonemasons have 3,000 people.

Chen Xiong was first reincarnated as a stone man and a cow and horse, and then drank ginseng medicine to rest. After he rested, he began to reincarnate as a grass soldier again, and when he was done, he was exhausted and on the verge of falling. However, he is also very happy to see more and more direct soldiers and horses, after all, there are more and more local Han soldiers and horses now.

Today, there are more than 5,000 people in one army of the Han pro-army, including 1,000 light soldiers and 3,000 wooden soldiers. After all, although light soldiers can fly, their defenses are too poor, and they are easy to die in battle. The heavy cavalry of each pro-army also reached more than 300, and the sum of the three armies was 1,000 heavy cavalry.

The total number of the three pro-armies has reached 16,000 people. Chen Xiong's personal guards also began to increase their strength, and the five hundred personal guards were divided into: three hundred wooden soldiers and two hundred heavy cavalry. The wooden soldiers are mainly to protect the two masters, and the heavy cavalry is mainly to protect the military master and follow the military master to charge.

At the end of the night, early in the morning, Qiao Dudu went out of the city again, and after today, he was considered to have completed his task.

Knock~Knock~~ The war drums have been beating intermittently for a long time.

The marching cavalry was divided into two parts, Zhang Shoujun explored the road in the front, and Wu Lijun explored the enemy situation in the rear. After the cavalry is the Han Fifth Army, and the Han Sixth Army is also placed behind the headquarters, that is, in front of the Sixth Cavalry Army.

It's like an arrow, and the time has entered November.

Yangzhou is a historical city, an important town in the north of the Yangtze River and a heavy city in Huainan. Yangzhou thin horse sits on a boat and panting, but what makes Chen Xiong upset is the ten days of Yangzhou next summer!

The Qing army went south, Shi Kefa led more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jiangbei to resist, but after all, they were defeated by hundreds of thousands of traitor soldiers and were defeated. After that, hundreds of thousands of Qing soldiers carried out a ten-day massacre in Yangzhou, and the ancient records brought back from Japan during the Xinhai Revolution let the Han people know about the madness of the ten days. If the knife is not sealed for ten days, there will be 800,000 corpses cleaned up in the city after ten days, not including the Han people who were hunted down and killed outside the city. Ten days after Yangzhou, the sailors and literati who surrendered to the Qing army in the nearby cities fled one after another, some to Nanyang, and some to Japan. It is precisely in this way that history has not been covered up by the rulers, and the massacres of the Manchus are even more terrifying than those of later generations. During the Manchu war against the Southern Ming Dynasty, at least more than 20 million Han Chinese were slaughtered.

Fireworks in March down Yangzhou, Yangzhou City is a romantic city, with a permanent population of more than 300,000. There are many rivers and well-developed shipping, making Yangzhou the center of the north-south confluence.

Ten days later, the second worst in Yangzhou was the Guangzhou Massacre, after which the monks collected 700,000 corpses, and many villagers buried them spontaneously outside the city.

The main force of the Qing army's southward attack was the surrendered Ming army, and the Manchus forced the Ming army to massacre the Han people together with the Tatars. If the traitor army did not slaughter the Han people, the Manchu iron cavalry would kill them. For their own sake, the frenzied traitors slaughtered the Han people frantically. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was to make the Han people hate each other internally, and to rule the Han with Han, so as to achieve the means of killing two birds with one stone. This also laid the foundation for the Ming army's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty later.

Chen Xiong, a traitor soldier before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, can be forgiven, but after the Manchu Dynasty entered the customs, he will completely shatter the history, and then turn into ashes and throw it into the sea in a boat. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the traitors did not even deserve to keep their ashes in the land of the Han people, and even their families had to emigrate to the newly occupied land.

Chen Xiong looked at the tall city from afar and was powerless! When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the pass, a large number of Ming troops surrendered, and millions or even two million Ming troops, under the persecution and reward of the butcher's knife of the Tartar and the silver woman, turned into crazy elite soldiers.

The real elite grass and wood soldiers of the Han army were only more than 10,000 people, and they could not stay in Yangzhou to resist the Qing army. He was even more afraid that the Han army would fight to the death at the head of the city, and suddenly the traitors in the city would kill them from behind.

The entire Ming Dynasty seems to be cursed, and at every critical moment of victory or defeat, there are always traitors. The big hand of fate seems to be destined to let the Han people sink again and again, and then sit back and watch the glory of the Han people and despise the heavens and the earth. Perhaps the belief of the Han people has always refused to obey God: man will conquer the sky, break through the sky, and directly control the nine heavens. Perhaps the arrogance of the Han people really angered the heavens, and they always deliberately tortured the pathetic and respectable Han people in this land.

The Han army stayed in Yangzhou and killed many rebels at most, and it was impossible to prevent the Han people from being slaughtered. In the future year, the aura of the protagonist of the Manchu Qing Dynasty exploded, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army that took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty immediately exploded.

Today's Ming Dynasty not only has hatred for the Manchu Dynasty, but even the Ming army has a grudge against the low-level civilians. The more time goes by the pyramid, the greater the resentment at the bottom. As a thug of the imperial court, the Ming army had a difficult relationship with the poor peasants. This is a centuries-old entanglement of interests, fame and fortune, even if there is no Manchu Qing Dynasty, there will be a bloody war in the Ming Dynasty.

The Han army camped outside the city, and the people were boiling, and the army and horses were like a sea, and the swords and guns were like a forest.

10,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry troops, and more than 30,000 crime cleansing troops; In addition, 15,000 people of the 1st Militia Division of the regularized militia, and 16,000 soldiers of the army owner. The entire Han army now has 100,000 horses in the standing army, and the 400,000 Han people in the headquarters can draw 100,000 young and strong militiamen.

"Lord Shangshu, this Han army won't attack the city, right?" Gao Jie began to regret coming to Yangzhou.

Gao Jie is Yingwu, a native of Mizhi, Shaanxi. With Li Zicheng, he was a thief, and he was originally a general of Li Zicheng, nicknamed the Mountain Harrier. After surrendering to the Ming government, he participated in the pursuit of the peasant army and was promoted to the chief military officer. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiang, the king of Fu, ascended the throne in the south of the Yangtze River, and was named Xingping Bo, and Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Huang Degong were called the four towns of Jiangbei. In 1645, Gao Jie was booby-trapped by the traitor Xu Dingguo in Suizhou.

Gao Jie was secretly angry, saying that the Han army was broken and it was impossible to attack the city. But is the current compelling battle column and the angry battle spirit really a broken army? They won't besiege the city yet, but now they're all under siege. He really regretted believing in Shi Kefa and brought 100,000 soldiers and horses into Yangzhou. thought that after defeating the Han army, he would justifiably occupy the important town of Yangzhou, but looking at the current position, he felt that he might be cold.

Shi Kefa was also very annoyed: Huai'an reported that there were few elite soldiers left of the Han army, Yancheng reported that the main force of the Han army suffered heavy casualties, and the following county order also reported that the Zuojia army surrendered and defected from the Han army.

"General Gao doesn't need to worry, the Han army is just bluffing. It is estimated that he wants to extort a sum of money, and after the Han army crosses the river and is divided, it will be the end of King Annan. When Zuo Mengeng's 100,000 troops arrived, there were 300,000 horses in Jiangbei. And Zhenjiang on the south bank also has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from Liu Liangzuo, Gao Degong and other departments, and nearly a million troops are hanged together by waterway, and this time Da Luo Jinxian can't save the Han army. Zuo Shangshu is tall and upright, full of confidence, and has a calm demeanor.

Feeling Shi Kefa's compulsion, Gao Jie couldn't lose his momentum.

"What Lord Shangshu said is extremely true, the princes of Nanjing are really unfathomable."

Gao Jie patted his horse and held his head high and said: "There are 130,000 soldiers and horses in the city, even if the Han army attacks it, it will be difficult to attack." If the Han army does not know how to advance or retreat, even Jiangbei will be their end. ”

Gao Dashuai didn't know whether what he said was true or false, but he had to believe it. If he doesn't even believe in himself, then he doesn't have to fight and surrender directly.

The clouds are moving in all directions, and the headquarters of the Han army is also discussing.

"Lord, there are many anti-aircraft artillery in this Yangzhou city, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses! It's hard to get it quickly! "Lin Guozhong is not optimistic about this siege battle, not to mention that there is Shi Kefa, a famous Confucian general, to supervise the battle.

Wu Jiu nodded and shook his head, thought for a while and said: "If the lord asks the sailors to clear the artillery of Yangzhou, plus the land artillery, and hundreds of artillery shelling the city wall, he will definitely be able to go down Yangzhou quickly." ”

Everyone also nodded and looked at the lord, and only the lord knew the movements of the water master.

The Qing soldiers also relied on hundreds of artillery pieces to shatter the will of the soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou when they went south. Beginning next year, the Netherlands and Portugal, in order to retaliate against the Ming Dynasty, provided a large number of advanced artillery and ammunition to the Manchus. This is also the reason why Nanming failed to stand firm in Jiangnan, and it can be said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty opened the gods.

Everyone saw that Chen Xiong smiled lightly and said: "The sailor is already at the mouth of the canal, and he can arrive tomorrow morning." ”

"It is not necessary to capture Yangzhou, but I am afraid that they will sneak attack behind when our army crosses the river. You know, there is still a Zuo family army waiting for revenge. ”

Zuo Liangyu died and had no place to live, and the remaining nearly 200,000 horses of the Zuo family army hated the Han army to the core. Zuo Mengeng even swore that he would crush the entire Chen Xiong clan.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat at the thought that Yangzhou might sneak attack them. When crossing the river, it was difficult to take care of the end, and this moment was the weakest time for the Han army. This Yangtze River is not a small river trail of three or two hundred meters.
