David Copperfield is a British man in his thirties who is tall and handsome. With blond hair, a high nose, and deep eyes, he has all the virtues of a Germanic man, and he looks like a gentle, well-informed gentleman.

It's just that those who know him know that it's all a fake.

David Copperfield is a real executioner, a real devil who can abandon everything to the bottom of the moral line for the sake of money and profit.

He fought all over the world for the sake of the British Empire. The number of people who died at his hands was already hundreds, if not thousands.

Only at this moment, this gentleman-looking devil was sitting in a folding chair with a cup of coffee, drinking coffee while casually talking about something with a tall and sturdy black man next to him.

"John, what's going on with what I asked you to investigate? I've heard a lot of unbelievable news from the scared mobs. They say that their enemies have very sharp firearms, even on par with ours, which I find simply ridiculous. Is there any more advanced country in the world than the fire of our British Empire? This is obviously impossible. At least not on this planet. ”

The black man known as John was playing with a long-handled pistol and was aiming at a tree not far away.

He closed his eyes while practicing aiming. He said casually: "David, to be honest, you are really a little too careful. The mob said this only to cover up their incompetence and failure.

As you said, there can be no country on this planet with more advanced weapons than ours, let alone in a country that is still in the midst of a chaotic war.

I can responsibly say that the most they have in their hands is an antique musket like a flintlock pistol.

Do you think such a weapon can pose a threat to us? Only the cowardly and incompetent mob would be so afraid of flintlock pistols.

Believe me, I will definitely prove it with my own hands by blowing the head of the enemy's generals with a pistol in my hand. ”

After the black man finished speaking, the pistol in his hand slammed loudly, and a large piece of bark from the small tree about 20 paces away was knocked away.

The black man John glanced at David Copperfield triumphantly, blew into the muzzle of the gun lightly, and began to reload again.

David Copperfield glanced at John the Negro and said, "You well-limbed, simple-minded fellow who always takes my words as a deaf ear, I should have shot you in the head." This time, though, I trust your judgment. I also don't think that the guys we're going to face will have the sharp firearms that can compete with us, which is obviously impossible. Unless God bless them. ”

David Copperfield turned to look at a small white man not far away, and shouted at him, "Harry." Come here. ”

The little white man came over, and although he was of small stature and looked like a monkey, he had a large hooked nose on one face. A pair of eyes full of yin owls and cunning eyes.

"Harry, listen to me, take your Falcon squad to scout and find our opponents' weak spots, such as where their commanders are, and where their forage and baggage are located. And I don't want to. Has anyone seen you, understand? ”

The little white man named Harry just nodded and left quickly.

Soon, a team of about 20 people quickly left the mountain forest and walked down the mountain.

…………

Di Qing soon received a reply from Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian and Di Qing's judgments are very consistent.

He also believed that the Dashun army must have something to rely on. It's just that he can't judge what the hole cards of the Dashun Army are.

Hu Zongxian did not give Di Qing specific instructions.

He only said four words: the camera is broken.

This is Hu Zongxian's belief that Di Qing can make the right judgment.

After all, it must be the commander-in-chief of the front line who knows the situation best, not the commander in the rear.

After a short period of thought, Di Qing finally decided to abandon his distracting thoughts and ordered an attack on Jinling City.

Di Qing believes in one sentence: all conspiracies and tricks will be completely crushed in the face of absolute strength.

Since you can't guess what the enemy's hole cards are, then use the most powerful firepower and the most fierce offensive to force the enemy to show his hole cards as soon as possible.

And once the hole cards are revealed, they are much less threatening.

Di Qing's command now has about 100,000 Qin troops.

In addition, there are various local armed forces that are constantly being collected along the way, and the total number of these people is about 50,000.

Of the 100,000 Qin troops, 10,000 were armed with new muskets and artillery.

As the role of firearms in warfare has grown, and new firearms have proved their power in the war to eradicate the Japanese and in the process of going south.

Therefore, Di Qing has full confidence in conquering Jinling City, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River.

His confidence came from the power of the new artillery.

But Di Qing did not directly use artillery as a militaristic heavy weapon from the beginning.

Just like playing cards, it is impossible for both sides to show their real hole cards at the beginning, and they are all trying to consume each other's cards with small cards first.

Di Qing had more than 100,000 horses in his hands, so the small cards were very considerable, such as the 50,000 local armed forces, as well as the servant armies of Mongolia and Korea.

Di Qing did not adopt the method of besieging three and attacking one, but ordered the Korean servant army, the Mongol servant army, and the local armed forces to launch a fierce attack on Jinling City from three directions, namely, east, south, and west.

To the north, however, is the Yangtze River, and there are Qin army sailors on the Yangtze River.

Generally, siege wars will have a main direction of attack, but Di Qing's attack this time did not have a clear direction of attack, and everywhere looked like the main direction of attack.

All of a sudden, the entire Jinling City resounded with earth-shattering shouts and fighting sounds on three sides. Everywhere there are figures carrying ladders and pushing various siege equipment, running forward frantically.

Di Qing's move was to kill the old master with a random punch, which caught the Jinling guard Luo Kedi a little off guard.

He couldn't figure out Di Qing's true intentions at all.

Although he knew that Di Qing was most likely using these cannon fodder soldiers as a temptation, he couldn't help but be unguarded, if he was not careful, this temptation would turn into a real attack.

In desperation, the enemy could only divide his troops to defend and defend from three walls at the same time.

Moreover, he did not dare to transfer the defenders defending the northern city wall, because the enemy's sailors were still eyeing the Yangtze River, and if he dared to transfer the defenders of the northern city wall to support other directions, then the Qin army's sailors would most likely change from watching the changes to a real attack.
