"Get a Dutchman."

Yang Xin looked at Jin Yiwei's report speechlessly.

The gentry assembly in Suzhou finally made a decision by a show of hands......

Against.

Then the content of their meeting was immediately reported to Yang Dudu by the secret agent of Jinyiwei.

In fact, there is no need for any secret agents, this conference is completely public, and even the results of the conference are made public in various places through unveiling posts, after all, there are still the vast majority of small and medium-sized landlords waiting for news, and the Di Bao that has also developed towards a real newspaper in various places also reported on this.

In this way, the entire gentry class was mobilized to share the conviction of the same enemy.

They won't back down anymore.

They have to fight against traitors who are trying to cause trouble in Jiangnan.

Of course, the battle needs silver, especially to buy those magistrates, generals of the guard, and even go to the capital to buy people to lobby the emperor, even if it is to reward and encourage the regimental training, these are all in silver, and of course these silver have to be made up by everyone, so this kind of propaganda is essential. At the same time as the propaganda, the Chang Sheng Army officially marched into Wuxi, while the Chang Jie Army still held the fortress along the Xicheng Canal, and the Chang'an Army, which was originally still in Zhejiang, officially entered Nanzhili.

They are violating the law, because regimental training is not allowed to leave the country, and the Chang'an Army was formed under the auspices of the governor of Zhejiang, and can only operate within the scope of Zhejiang, and it is definitely not possible to enter Nanzhili.

So......

So they changed the flag to the victorious army.

This solved the problem, and they entered the war in the name of the victorious army.

In this way, the three major regiments gathered in Wuxi, except for the fortresses stationed along the Xicheng Canal, there were still more than 13,000 people waiting in Wuxi to meet Yang Dudu, in fact, their troops were at a disadvantage, after all, Yang Xin only had 12,500 troops in the Dangkou army, not to mention the loyal and brave troops of Wujin and Jiangyin. But the gentry couldn't help it, they were different from the Loyal Army, they were a complete reserve system, and the Loyal Army only needed one order to change from one army to five armies, but they could not expand so quickly.

And the expansion is useless.

So they can only rely on quality to quantify.

Fortunately, the quality of their army is still okay, after all, it is also well-equipped and well-trained......

Well, Fort Lakebrook still failed.

But......

"Dudu, this is not easy to fight!"

Kong Youde said.

In front of them was a map of Huishan Fort, this fortress was locked off the canal, surrounded by water on three sides, and they had to face the eighteen-pound cannon without landing, and the frontal landing did not even have a foothold, and the entire front of the fortress was covered by artillery fire. Unless you bypass the front and pass the canal first, and then land behind the fortress to attack from east to west, but this will be targeted by the cannons of Huishan Fort and Xishan Fort, and even by the shells on the Wuxi city wall behind.

From the north, they could only force the Xicheng Canal to cross, and then fight with the regiment in the completely water network area.

The Bandar Army was clearly not accustomed to such an environment.

In particular, the cavalry is completely useless, after all, this is a real water town, all of which are waterways separated like a chessboard, and the cavalry has to plunge into the water if they can't rush out of a hundred zhang.

The final result could only be a frontal assault on Huishan Fort.

But the assault ......

Well, Kong Youde has the most right to speak.

Because the earliest fortress of the Ming Dynasty is there.

Six years ago, the first fortress was built in Laomiwan, and over the years, Chen Yujie led them to build this fortress into a real fortress in Kaiyuan.

He knows exactly how hard it is to fight.

"Huishan Fort is second, the key is still in the Xishan Fort, as long as the Xishan Fort can be defeated, the cannons on the Xishan Fort can be transferred over and bombard Huishan Fort condescendingly, but when we attack the Xishan Fort, we will be bombarded by Huishan Fort from the side."

Sun Yingyuan said.

"Either bypass Huishan."

Sun Shoufa said.

"It makes no difference, attacking from the south of Xishan Fort, the same will still be bombarded by Huishan Fort, those eighteen-pound cannons are all designed, you don't need to aim, as long as we enter a place that has long been drawn by them on the map, and then raise the cannon to the corresponding degree, load the corresponding gunpowder, and the cannonball can fall on top of our heads.

Eighteen pounds of shells.

Even if it's not aiming and shooting, falling from the sky and rolling anywhere is death. ”

Chen Song, deputy general of the Loyal and Brave Army, said.

He was born in the Yangjia Zhuang, Fengyang, and was later transferred to Guizhou to command the native soldiers, and joined the Red Turban Army on the battlefield with the native soldiers, including those who accompanied him, and now they are also settled in Zhaoyi City, and some of them are still serving in the loyal and brave army.

"Then we can only attack."

Sun Yingyuan said.

"If you attack strongly, you will attack strongly, give up 3,000 lives, and fight to fight for Xishan Fort!"

Sun Shoufa said.

Then Yang Dudu, who was holding the cat, appeared beside him.

The hapless cat had been caught casually by him outside, but was content and purred after eating a few pieces of canned fish.

"Don't always think about fighting, you have to talk about your head, a Huishan Fort takes 3,000 lives, how many fortresses can our current troops gnaw down?"

Yang Dudu said.

"But, Governor, there is no other way to fight after all."

Sun Yingyuan said cautiously.

"We'll find a way, we're not there yet!"

Yang Dudu said.

After saying that, he just hugged the cat and left.

Then a group of generals were left looking at each other.

In fact, this fortress is really not easy to fight, mainly because the zigzag trench and digging tunnels can not be used, in this kind of water town can not dig a meter will have to soak in the water, with the ship to transport troops to force the landing attack is tantamount to suicide, the only way is indeed to storm the Xishan Fort, and then use artillery to bombard condescendingly. Therefore, Yang Xin is very willing to use this battle to train these new-style troops, because attacking the Xishan Fort will inevitably start a series of battles with Tuanlian with Huishan as the center.

It covers fortress attack and defense battles, field infantry battles, and even cavalry battles.

If needed, even special penetration is required.

After this battle, the two sides of the war, whether they won or lost, really reached the level of their European counterparts, and it must be understood that although the Ming Dynasty has sprung up a new army over the years, there are very few battles between these armies.

Not so long ago Fort Lake Creek.

But it didn't make a real big war, it just fought and separated.

And this is the real battle level, no smaller than the just-concluded Battle of Breda in Europe, and the same support for such a campaign will bring a huge boost to the command system, logistics supply system, and even the industrial system of both sides, so to speak, after this battle, these armies have also been reborn. As for opening Huishan Fort, this is not important to him, it is easy for him to open it, and when it rains heavily one day, he can go in and capture this fortress with his own knife.

But that didn't do much for the army.

He wanted an army that could really compete with the current elite legions in Europe, not a group of sycophants like those disciples behind the old immortals of the stars.

Yang Dudu, who was holding a cat, stood in front of the gate, looking at the endless rice fields in front of him.

He hasn't arrived in Wujin yet, this is the canal town Benniu in the west of Wujin, he and his army are stopping here to eat, it is estimated that they will arrive in Wujin before dark, this is not the same as before in Jianbi, it is accurate to say that it is a transition area between hills and plains, but this is the real plain. Rice paddies that have entered the heading season surround the town as if they were tiled, and the masts of sailboats on the canals that cross them are erected, and it is quiet in the midday sun......

Then a small hand appeared on his cat's tail......

"This is my cat!"

A milky voice said.

"Can't you borrow it for fun?"

Yang Xin bowed his head and said.

Next to him is a little girl who looks like she is three or four years old, wearing a floral skirt, two small bags on her head, her white and tender little face is very cute, and she has a small golden lock around her neck, she can see that life is not bad, she is still holding a lotus pod in one hand, and there are a few lotus seeds missing on it, which should be in her stomach.

"But it's going home for dinner, I've been looking for it for a long time!"

The little girl said.

"What's your last name, what's your name, and where do you live?"

Yang Xin said.

"My surname is Xing, my name is Yuan Yuan, and I live in front!"

The little girl said.

"You let me pinch your face, and I'll give it back to you."

Yang Xin said shamelessly.

"But this is my cat!"

Yuan Yuan protested.

"How do I know if it's yours and it won't speak"

Yang Xin said.

Then the cat in his arms meowed very shamelessly, and tried to break free from his arms, but then he was grabbed by the back of his neck, and the poor cat was suddenly incapacitated, and there he meowed pitifully at Yuan Yuan, who was anxious with tears, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.

Yang Dudu pinched her fleshy little face with satisfaction.

And it was pinched very hard, and Yuan Yuan's tears were about to fall.

"I'll pinch the left side again!"

He said.

"You, you scoundrel!"

Yuan Yuan finally cried.

But she still wiped her tears to meet the request of this shameless man, and endured it while shedding tears, but fortunately, this time Yang Dudu did not break his promise, and returned the cat to her very happily after pinching, Yuan Yuan picked up the cat and turned his head and ran away without hesitation.

"Crying bitterly, the six armies are all vegetarian, and the crown is angry and red! Anyway, my Sangui nephew should already be a half-sized son at this time, right? However, Hongyan is only a girl. ”

Looking at her back, Yang Dudu was overwhelmed with emotion.

Well, it is not surprising that this should be Chen Yuanyuan, it is said that her family is Benniu, and her surname is Xing Mingyuan, as for why she became a famous prostitute in Suzhou, this can refer to Liu Ruis, or the current Yang Rusi, but it is obvious that she will no longer be sold to any private prostitute because of family problems. Although she is not a wealthy lady, it is obvious that she can be regarded as worry-free, and the bull running is the core area of the loyal army, and no one will come to disturb her, since this is the case, let her continue her little luck!
