Under the scorching sun, the official road leading from Jiangning to Zhenjiang was full of dust, and a Qing army of nearly 20,000 people was rushing to Zhenjiang.

This force is a collection of Manchu and Han troops stationed in Changzhou, Wuxi, Jiangyin and other places near Jiangning, this force of more than 15,000 people was originally used to defend Jiangning, which will "roll the river dragon" side of the urgency, so that Kakham hurriedly sent this force, led by Guan Xiaozhong to Zhenjiang reinforcements.

"Lord Admiral, you said that even if we rushed to Zhenjiang tiredly, we should really be able to defend the "Rolling River Dragon"? ”

Liu Yuntong, who was wearing a cotton armor, was sunburned as if he had been fished out of water, and even the cotton armor was soaked with sweat.

This cotton armor may be suitable for Manchuria but by no means suitable for Jiangnan, not to mention that bubble nails are easy to rust, wearing it on such a hot day, it is like wearing a cotton jacket on the body, such a hot day can cover a person to death, but I have my own national conditions in the Qing Dynasty, the ancestral system is here, even if it is hot to death, this cotton armor has to be worn on the body.

This will not be Liu Yuntong, even if he is loyal to him, his mind is dizzy, and the nearly 8,000 cavalrymen wearing foam nail cotton armor around him, without exception, all look like they are about to suffer from heat stroke. One person even envied the Han infantry who carried tasseled guns and wore thin uniforms.

"As long as you hold Zhenjiang, even if the rebel surnamed Zheng rushes over, we are guarding Zhenjiang here, and Jiangning is guarding there, as long as it can last for a month, until the army returns to help, it will definitely make the surname Zheng go and not return, besides, ......"

Guan Xiaozhong raised his eyebrows slightly as he looked ahead, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Didn't Lord Titicaca send Luo Tuo to take the lead, then Luo Tuo didn't say that "these pirates are not enough for him to kill", he wants to kill the pirates without leaving a piece of armor, there is Luo Tuo's head formation, let's just walk slowly in the back! ”

Guan Xiaozhong's mouth of Luo Tuo is the former Hong Chengchou under the command of the fierce general, he commanded more than 1,000 fine cavalry, although it is the Han army flag, but it is also the most elite cavalry in the south of the Yangtze River, there is this cavalry in the front of the lead, from the four counties of Su Chang to transfer the reinforcements, naturally that is, unhurried walking, to have the Beijing battalion soldiers to take the lead, they are naturally secretly happy, slowly follow behind the cavalry, ready to attack when victory, and flee in advance when defeated.

Except for the Manchurian cavalry personally led by Guan Xiaozhong as the second team, the remaining 7 teams of reinforcements transferred from various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River only relied on drawing lots and deciding the front and rear teams according to "luck", and the worst luck was naturally placed in front.

"My lord, do you think General Luo can defeat those pirates?"

Liu Yuntong glanced ahead, although it was also a cavalry, but the elite cavalry under the command of Luo Tuo was far from what they could imagine as a cavalry, that team of cavalry was well-equipped, it can be said that "its iron armor is like snow", if Luo Tuo can defeat that group of pirates, they will follow behind to pick peaches, but it is also a great achievement.

"This ...... Hell knows! ”

Before Guan Zhi's words fell, there was a sound of horses' hooves ahead.

"Report, there is a thief ship ahead! The thieves are about to go ashore, and General Luo asks the adults to send troops from the speed! ”

This urgent report made Guan Xiaozhong immediately ride his horse and say,

"After the passing, the rear army infantry marched at full speed, and the cavalry accompanied Admiral Ben to reinforce General Luo!"

Without any hesitation, Guan Zhi, as the banner man of the Han army, immediately rode his war horse and led a cavalry team of more than 7,000 horsemen to rush forward. What they didn't know was that when Luo Tuo, who was the vanguard, found the Ming army's warships and found that the Ming army was making a landing on the river, Luo Tuo immediately rode his horse and rushed over, trying to give the Ming army a half-crossing attack. As soon as the Ming army, which was preparing to land, spotted Roto's cavalry, they did not hesitate to set sail and sail away.

"What the hell, these southern barbarians are running fast......"

Luo Tuo, who rushed to the Jiang Liangen Ming Army, looked at the distant fleet, and immediately scolded hatefully, but he scolded on his lips, after all, no matter how strong his cavalry was, he couldn't jump into the river to kill.

Just when Luo Tuo reorganized his team, sent a scout horse to follow the Ming army, and informed Guan to flee loyal to the Ming army, the scout horse suddenly heard the news that the Ming army had chosen another river bank to prepare for landing. This time, the position chosen by the Ming army was between the forward and the Chinese army, and Luo Tuo, who was afraid that the rear road would be cut off, immediately led the cavalry to rush there, and Guan Xiaozhong also led the cavalry to the place where the Ming army landed, but when they approached again, the Ming army calmly left by boat again.

Looking at the sails in the distance, Roto, who was teased twice in succession, immediately scolded.

", these pirates are playing with us! We're all tired like dead dogs."

"That's just their exhausting strategy......"

Guan Xiaozhong also understood, he looked at the tired and panting war horse, and immediately thought that this was the other party's tired strategy.

"These southern barbarians, they are really treacherous, repeating it twice like this, it will make us tired enough, next time, Lao Tzu ......"

Without waiting for the allegiance to finish, Liu Yuntong on the side said.

"My lord, no, even if this is the Ming army's tired strategy, we have to go down, otherwise, if the Ming army really goes ashore, I am afraid that we will be caught off guard at that time!"

Liu Yuntong's reminder made Guan Xiaozhong's brows suddenly raised, and just when his face showed anger, another probe horse ran over there.

"Report, the Ming army is mooring boats thirty miles ahead, and is preparing to go ashore ......"

Okay! Not again! Guan Xiaozhong immediately pulled down a bitter gourd face, held the horsewhip and said hatefully.

"Don't fall into the hands of Lao Tzu with the surname Zheng, otherwise Lao Tzu will crush him to ashes......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his horsewhip and cursed in his mouth.

"What the hell are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry over!"

When the words of allegiance fall.

"Holy shit, we're going to be miserable by these pirates!"

"No, these southern barbarians can be regarded as killing us!"

"On such a hot day, I want to heat Lao Tzu to death......"

The soldiers around him all shouted one after another, and on such a hot day, they ran around like dogs against the sun. And as long as the Ming army put up a shelf to go ashore, they had to run towards it like dogs. They ran on the shore. And the Ming army was on a boat in the middle of the river, watching these Qing troops running in the sun.

"My lord, if you run like this for a few days, the strength of these Qing troops will definitely be consumed by almost ......."

Looking at the flying dust on the shore from the Western telescope, although he couldn't see the appearance of the Qing army in the vanguard, he could still guess what the Qing army would look like on such a hot day.

"People are tired, horses are even more tired, such a hot day, can exhaust horses! The order went down and pretended to land in Li Jiaji......"

A few hours later, the Ming army once again in the Li family set up to make a landing, the Qing army immediately rushed over, when they ordered the collection of people, the Ming army once again small boat withdrew on the big boat, so repeatedly, tens of thousands of Ming troops took more than 10,000 Qing troops along the Yangtze River up and down for three days.
