Fight the night! And after marching dozens of miles during the day, it is not good to rest, and directly goes into battle to fight a night battle with the enemy army who is waiting for work!

Not to mention this kind of play, Zhao Zhilong didn't dare to imagine it, even Huang Degong, who was in the Linggu Temple in Zhongshan, didn't dare to imagine it!

His 3,000 soldiers may be able to use it in this way, but the rest of the soldiers and horses will definitely not be used in this way, otherwise there will be a bunch of deserters without mutiny - it is difficult to control the battle at night, the black light is blind, and the people below run away and the officials can't see clearly!

Unless it is an army with extremely high morale and strong cohesion, it is impossible to fight at night. And after a long march, without rest, directly into the night battle, this is basically the standard of the family, and it is not an ordinary family, but the "hundred battles" in the family can be used in this way.

And Zhu Cihong came to Nanjing with almost 20,000 new troops...... If they can all reach the level of "a hundred warriors", then what are the tens of thousands of Beijing battalion troops in Nanjing City fighting?

Zhao Zhilong, who knew that he had been betrayed by the villain Zuo Maodi, had no choice but to try to save himself now, and regardless of Zhang Shenyan and Han Zanzhou's eyes that were about to burn, he explained all the arrangements of the Nanjing Army in 1510.

The Nanjing army roughly set up a crane wing formation on this side. The right wing of the crane wing array is placed on the big altar, and the number of people is between 10,000 and 20,000, all of which are Nanjing Jingying troops, so Zhao Zhilong does not know how many people there are. In addition, there are a small number of elites brought by Zhu Guobi from Huai'an, which are the core of the troops.

Nanjing Jingying is rotten up and down! It is said that there are 40,000 people, but the actual number does not know if there are 20,000, and as for the number of people who can fight, only God knows.

Although Xu Hongji took the lead in donating money for the sake of King Qin this time, and asked Nanjing's nobles, ministers, and businessmen to contribute money, raised millions of dollars, and sent hundreds of thousands of taels. But how much of this money can be used in practice, and how much effect it can have, Zhao Zhilong is not sure.

The left wing of the crane wing array was placed on Zhongshan Mountain, and the formation was set up in Linggu Temple, with a number of 6,000, which was Ma Shiying's 3,000 Guizhou soldiers and Huang Degong's 3,000 family members. The left wing is smaller in number than the right wing, but it is much more combative.

There is also a center of this crane wing array, which is the Xiaoling Acropolis. The nobles and ministers of Nanjing, as well as the people of Xiaolingwei, were placed with the Xu family as the core. The total number is about 5,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as the 6,000 people on the left wing, but it is stronger than the right wing.

In addition, the Chinese army of Xu Hongji and Xu Yunjue will be located in Chaoyangmen Wengcheng. About 12,000 Nanjing Jingying soldiers and 1,000 Xujia soldiers will be concentrated on the first line of Chaoyangmen Wengcheng.

The remaining Nanjing Jing battalion soldiers and the families of various families in Jinling will be arranged in the other twelve city gates and two water gates in the inner city of Nanjing.

In case the "military advice" fails, they will stick to the city of Nanjing and wait for Zuo Liangyu to come to the rescue.

It's quite thoughtful! However, Zuo Liangyu is afraid that he will not be able to catch up, because Zhu Cihong will not give this group of Nanjing nobles so much time.

The battle in Nanking will end around noon tomorrow!

After figuring out the deployment of Nanjing's noble side, Zhu Cihong had already finished dinner, wiped his hands on his robe, stood up, and shouted loudly: "Feng Sizhong, put armor on this palace!"

Cao Youyi, go to the soldiers of the Jibu Army, the palace wants to lecture them! ”

Then he turned his head to Zhang Shen and said, "Mr. Miaoshan, do you want to see the Zhongxing army of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

......

"Emperor Taizu Gao is reincarnated, long live! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The cheers were earth-shattering, and the 6,400 soldiers of the four infantry associations had already eaten their dry food at this time, and everyone put on cloth iron armor and red battle jackets, and under the leadership of the officers, they stood solemnly in the rice fields near the Mei family's mansion, raising their weapons and cheering towards the sky!

Sixteen battalion phalanxes and sixty-four flags were arranged neatly at this time, and a large number of bonfires were lit in front of each battalion phalanx for lighting.

It was now past midday, and it was getting dark. However, the weather is very good, the moon is in the sky, and the stars are like a sea, so it is indeed a good day for night battles.

More than 100 cavalry, surrounded by Zhu Cihong, galloped past the front of each team's phalanx. First, a strong man from the Han Dynasty held the military flag of "Emperor Taizu Gao's reincarnation". Seeing this military flag, all the generals cheered loudly like crazy!

"Wicked! Evil ......"

Zhang Shenyan, who was escorted by Chen Shifang with a few pure soldiers and guards, stood in the shadows, looking at the crazy scene in front of him, his whole person trembled, and he couldn't stop saying "evil delusion" in his mouth.

And Han Zanzhou's face was like ashes, his eyes were closed, and he stood there without moving, looking like he was waiting for death.

Zhao Zhilong couldn't stand anymore, and sat on the ground crying!

He is obviously an undercover loyal minister, but he was sold by Zuo Maodi, and now he has become a rebel who has made meritorious contributions, and his life is over......

The sound of cheers gradually subsided, and Zhu Cihong no longer rode his horse and ran, but immediately in front of the 6,400 New Army infantry.

These 6,400 new troops, plus the 3,200 cavalry that have dispersed to occupy positions, are the essence of the new army!

Although the new army already had six land divisions on its books, each of which was not a temporarily hired army, it had an establishment of nearly 8,000 people, a total army of 48,000 people.

But among them, the real formation of combat effectiveness is the 9600 elite soldiers of the Six Associations. In particular, the soldiers of the Four Infantry Armies of the Six Associations, all of them are equipped with bird guns and spurs! There are also paper-wrapped ammunition.

If it weren't for the fact that the bird guns they were equipped with were still firing with arquebuses, such a level of equipment would have been used to fight the European wars of the 18th century. However, their tactics are still the same as when they were at Dagukou, that is, they put the enemy close and open fire, and charge after a burst of guns! If there is any progress, it is probably that there are more perfect "skirmisher tactics".

That is to say, each infantry association will pick out a few "god guns" to form a flag team directly under the co-ordination department. Then they were equipped with a turtledove foot firearm with better workmanship, plus a deerskin bullet (that is, a piece of deerskin was wrapped on the bullet, so that it could not be made into a fixed load, and the advantage was to increase the airtightness) and gunpowder of good quality, so that they could act as snipers and shoot enemy officers.

As for other "advanced tactics", it is not something that Zhu Cihong can solve. Even if he had heard of some tactics from the era of smoothbore guns, he didn't know how to organize them.

It was already the limit of Zhu Cihong's ability to allow thousands of firecrackers to advance in horizontal formations and columns in battalions and flag teams, and to be able to fire close and launch a bayonet charge or meet the enemy's cavalry with a bayonet formation (not a hollow phalanx).

Moreover, such a relatively simple tactic can only be deployed on flat terrain, and once it encounters complex terrain, it cannot be organized.

However, to deal with the weak soldiers in Nanjing City, such tactics and equipment level are enough!

When all the soldiers of the New Army were silent, and the queue of thousands of people was silent, Zhu Cihong used all his strength to shout: "Brothers of the New Army, now some people refuse to give you land and women!" What to do? ”

The more than 100 guards behind Zhu Cihong were specially selected to have loud voices, and they repeated Zhu Cihong's words word for word, so that thousands of people could hear them clearly.

"Kill!"

An earth-shattering roar suddenly exploded.

The big guys have so much credit, so hard to keep the prince Nanxing, and some people have abandoned their family business in the north. Isn't it just for the land and the little lady in Jiangnan?

Now that they have arrived in Nanjing, there are people who refuse to give ...... So what's polite?

"That's right! Kill them! Zhu Cihong staggered and pulled out his sword, pointing to the darkness in the west, "The enemy is in the Great Altar!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The sound of shouting and killing shook the wilderness!

The morale of the soldiers present has risen to the point where there is no addition, not to mention the nobles of Nanjing, even if the Tartars came, they also fought!

Zhu Cihong nodded with satisfaction and said in a low voice: "Wu Sanfu? ”

"The minister is here!" Wu Sanfu had already arrived at Zhu Cihong's side.

"Over to you! Lay the big altar first, and at the same time pay attention to Huang Degong on Zhongshan. ”
