Lin Yu clicked on the screen of the center console to inquire about Merkava's current remaining combat materials: one 120mm artillery shell, the coaxial machine gun has been dismantled, and the diesel fuel is 27L.

The coaxial machine gun was dismantled and placed in Yangzhou, and Lin Yu couldn't reach it, so he decided to buy ten shells to press the bottom of the box first, and if it was not enough, he would buy it again.

Click on the screen in the palm of your right hand to enter the support shop, select the combat materials column, and spend 500,000 gold coins to buy ten grenades with a diameter of 120mm. [The price of the previous items has been adjusted slightly, and the unit price of the cannonball is set at 50,000]

I saw a line of prompts appear on the screen: After the purchase of combat materials for large weapons, they will be automatically loaded into the chamber, and the Merkava main battle tank currently has 11 120mm shells left.

"Yes, this is a lot of effort, otherwise it would be difficult to hide such a large pile of shells." Lin Yu was very satisfied with this function of the system.

Lin Yu checked the price of diesel again, the price of 10 liters was 10,000 gold coins, and calculated that he spent another 600,000 gold coins to buy 600 liters of diesel, which was also directly filled into the fuel tank by the system.

It is about 200 kilometers from Nanjing to Fengyang, and the Merkava main battle tank needs to consume 200 liters of fuel every 100 kilometers, leaving another 200 liters for combat use, Lin Yu feels that it is almost enough.

This time, the Qing army was even stronger, in addition to the 178,000 horses led by Duoduo, plus Abatai and Wu Sangui who came from Henan to support, the total strength of the attack on Fengyang exceeded 300,000, and the chances of winning with a tank alone were not great.

Duoduo and his civil and military forces are not fools, they grow wise, they were caught off guard in Yangzhou last time, and they may come up with some way to deal with themselves this time!

Nanjing City is densely populated, the streets are full of traffic, Merkava is huge, although Jin Wuwei opened the way in front, it still took Lin Yu half an hour to get out of Nanjing City and arrive at Ying Tianwei's camp.

Looking from a distance, I saw 12,000 Ming soldiers ready to go, artillery battalions, cavalry battalions, fire battalions, bow and arrow battalions, and infantry battalions lined up in a line according to the phalanx, neatly and orderly, and the hunting banner swayed in the wind.

Ying Tianwei commanded Wei Guangdong, commanded Tongzhi Xu Gongji, commanded Zhu Youliang, and more than a dozen thousands of households under his command all wore helmets and hung armor, and only waited for the ironclad car to arrive before going north across the river at Wuma Ferry.

Lin Yu opened the hatch and saluted the three main generals of Ying Tianwei: "Several generals, are the weapons and horses ready?" ”

Wei Guangdong arched his hand and said: "If you return to the governor, the soldiers of our department will be assembled, just waiting for your order." ”

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, the assembly will be completed in an hour and a half, and you Ying Tianwei can be regarded as well-trained." Wait a little longer, Lord Lu, and when he comes, we will wave our army north. ”

Lin Yu asked again: "How is the preparation of Cao Jiangjun?" ”

Xu Gongji arched his hand and said: "Governor Qiyu, Governor Fang sent someone to inform him, saying that the Caojiang army is going to take a warship to Guabu first, and then go north along the Chuhe River, and finally enter Gaoyou Lake in Chuzhou, and land there. ”

Lin Yu was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "This governor is the main general of this support army, what right does the other Guoan have to assert himself?" He Jiang Jun like this, can he get to Fengyang in three days? ”

Clear-eyed people know that the reason why Cao Jiangjun did this was to drag behind and let Ying Tianwei's soldiers take the lead.

Wei Guangdong was naturally reluctant to be cannon fodder, and after listening to Lin Yu's words, he echoed: "What the governor said is extremely true, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, and you can reach Fengyang by land for two days and two nights. ”

"Why don't you summon Admiral Fang and General Zheng to discuss?" Xu Gongji Fu Xu proposed.

"No need!"

Lin Yu refused, "This governor is the commander, the military order is like a mountain, he must obey the Jiang army, I don't accept any refutation!" ”

Lin Yu said as he untied the Shang Fang sword on his waist and handed it to Zhu Youliang: "Zhu Yu took my Shang Fang sword to the camp of the Caojiang army, and ordered Fang Guoan and Zheng Hongkui to abandon the boat and land, be sure to cross the river before dark, and go north by land with the soldiers of Ying Tianwei, there must be no mistake!" ”

Aren't you Zhu Youliang a member of the royal family, aren't you Zhu Youliang someone in your eyes, aren't you Zhu Youliang coaxing, then you go and urge the Caojiang army to go ashore, this is called employing people's strengths, promoting their strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

Zhu Youliang happily received the order: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Looking at Zhu Youliang's distant back, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This Nanming army has its own ghosts, and it's strange that they can win the Qing army!" I, the governor, also have no real name, and I must establish my own descendant troops in the future in order to find a place in this troubled world. ”

As soon as Zhu Youliang left on the front foot, Fang Yizhi and Chen Zhenhui brought a stack of military uniforms with someone.

This is specially for the staff of the army to wear, although they do not need to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but they should also be uniform, not as messy as the vegetable market.

Lin Yu was about to ask how many bodies he had brought, when he saw Fang Yizhi throw it on the ground, and said angrily: "The military department is responsible for managing the equipment is Ruan Dacheng, and these torn clothes are given by the military department under him. ”

Lin Yu took it and took a look, except for those who were bitten by rats, they had crooked sleeves and slanted collars, and said with a smile: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the military department wants you to wear cooler." There is no need to mend the holes, and the crooked sleeves are cut off, so wear them like this! ”

Wei Guangdong is attached to Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying on weekdays, and he couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this: "Hehe...... The governor is really magnanimous, and it is estimated that the treasury of the military department has found a mouse. ”

After waiting for another half an hour, Lu Daqi, the right attendant of the military department who served as the supervisor of the army, came late with dozens of servants: "Oops...... Let Lin Dudu wait for a long time, there are many things at home, so he came late. ”

Lin Yu didn't give Lu Daqi a good look, and said with a cold face: "Lord Lu lives in the temple on weekdays, and he is used to being idle, and he is definitely not used to going to the battlefield at first, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go." ”

Lu Daqi looked embarrassed: "Hehe...... The official really doesn't want to go, but the king's order is difficult to disobey, so he can only let go of this old bone! ”

"Pass my order, the whole army set off, be sure to cross the Yangtze River before dark, and march to Fengyang overnight!"

Lin Yu gave an order, and 12,000 Ming troops followed behind the Merkava tank, lined up in a neat formation and headed straight for Wumadu.

Half an hour later, the army arrived at Wumadu, Wei Guangdong's thousands of households had already prepared the warship, Lin Yu was about to drive the tank to the big boat to cross the river, when he saw a militia team carrying red tassel guns and spears, coming from a distance.

"Who's coming?" A hundred households led a team of Ming troops to block the road and interrogate.

The leader was Zhang Shenyan's youngest son Zhang Chenglin, I saw him wearing white armor, white combat boots, a saber hanging from his waist, and a vegetarian wrapped around his head, and said loudly: "I am Zhang Chenglin, the son of Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials. ”

Hearing that these people were helping to fight the Tartars, this hundred households immediately came to the ironclad car to report: "Governor Qiyu, there is a person who claims to be Zhang Chenglin, the youngest son of Zhang Ge Lao, who led five hundred private soldiers to join you, saying that he would follow you to help Fengyang. ”

"Great, there is finally a descendant of mine in this team."

Lin Yu, who received the report, was overjoyed and ordered Jiang Ruhua and the three of them to continue to be in the cockpit and wait for him to go down to meet Zhang Chenglin.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you wait for the old man to cross the river after the funeral?" Lin Yu passed through the mighty army and met Zhang Chenglin.

Zhang Chenglin's face was sad, and he bowed his hand and said: "My father was already very sick, and when I heard that the Tartars had slaughtered Sizhou, he was even more sad and angry, and vomited three liters of blood. Before swallowing his breath, he repeatedly told the villain not to wait for his funeral, and let me follow the governor of Jiang Chi to help Zhongdu, so I always voted! ”

Lin Yu looked around, and saw that the private soldiers of the Zhang family were all wrapped around their heads, and their white clothes were like snow, and they had a pair of easy water Xiao Xiao West wind and cold, and the seat was full of clothes like snow.

In the current Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shenyan is a rare upright and capable official, but it is a pity that he is old and has died, which shows that even God does not bless the Ming Dynasty, the so-called qi is exhausted, that's it!

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I, Lin Zhenjiang, swear to relieve the siege of Fengyang to comfort Zhang Ge's spirit in the sky!"

Lin Yu patted Zhang Chenglin's shoulder, this man has a strong physique, strong limbs, and at first glance, he is a practitioner, "This governor promoted you to the fourth standard of my Lin family's army, the grade is equivalent to that of a thousand households, and he is in charge of a thousand people." ”

"I will live up to the trust of the governor!" Zhang Chenglin's face was solemn and he hugged his fists and saluted.

Lin Yu used to be just a deputy garrison, and the team managed by him could only be called a "battalion", but now that he has risen to the high position of the governor, the team under his command can naturally no longer use the "battalion" as a unit, so Lin Yu called it the "Lin Family Army".

Lin Yu looked at the team behind Zhang Chenglin, there were no helmets, no armor, no battle robes, all of them were wearing coarse white clothes, wrapped in plain heads, and the weapons were mainly spears and red tassel guns, and there were fifty archers, more than a dozen arquebuses and shotguns.

Lin Yu called Lu Daqi to him, and said in an irrefutable tone: "Zhang Biaotong didn't even attend Zhang Ge Lao's funeral for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Lu Daqi looked embarrassed, pinched his nose and said: "The Caojiang Army continues to recruit troops, the equipment is tight, and the military department does not have much inventory, this officer will go to the yamen of the military department and do his best!" ”
