Chapter 68: Soldiers and Generals

Emperor Longwu and Wang Kefan returned to Shuaizhou and handed down orders one by one.

The Guangdong soldiers Yi Zhen and Liang Zhenren's troops first entered the battle position and lined up five miles outside the east gate of Nankang County.

The Yunnan soldier Zhao Yinxuan's department dragged back five miles, responsible for covering the flank of the Guangdong soldiers, and could echo each other and pull out a complete cordon to Nankang County.

The infantry of the Gongyi battalion was placed in the middle as the general reserve of the Ming army.

More than 8,000 Jiangxi soldiers were divided into two groups, one was responsible for attacking the Qing army's water village, and the other group set up a village on the bank of the Zhangjiang River to protect the Ming army's transport ships transporting grain and grass.

Yan Luo, a volunteer soldier in Jiangxi, served as a peripheral guard on the east bank of the Zhangjiang River.

The cavalry of the Gongyi battalion was responsible for the perimeter guard on the west bank of the Zhangjiang River.

The 300 Portuguese soldiers and the 3,000 Cantonese volunteers raised by Su Guansheng all stayed near Emperor Longwu's Shuai Zhou as the garrison of the Chinese army......

One order after another was conveyed, each of them was clear, and the combat position, combat missions and tactical requirements were described very specifically, as long as they were carried out, under the command of Emperor Longwu, the dispatch of tens of thousands of Ming troops was orderly, busy but not chaotic.

The generals of the Ming army all showed surprised looks.

Tong Yizhen and Liang Zhiren were the first to arrive, and the two armies of more than 8,000 people were ready to seal the passage for the Qing army to attack out of the city.

"Lao Liang, how can the emperor use soldiers! God bless me! "Tong Yizhen is overjoyed, the commander is the soul of the whole army, Emperor Longwu can actually fight, and the possibility of winning the battle of Ganzhou is much greater.

The dispatch of such an army of tens of thousands of people, especially the quality of the various units, is uneven. The most test of the manager's ability to control. The Ming army's formation is decent, if only this goal is completed, Tong Yizhen is a veteran general in the army, and he is confident that he can do it, but it will probably take more than half an hour.

Spending more than half an hour is just the most intuitive result, and more importantly, there are no obvious loopholes in the process of the transfer of the Ming army, and if the Qing army in Nankang County goes out of the city to attack, it will be attacked by the Ming army at any time.

This is for the handsome talent. It's hard to find!

"Well, there are masters around the emperor, eighty percent of them are that Wang Kefan!" Liang Zhiren could be sure that it was not Emperor Longwu who was in command.

General Han Xin, the more the merrier. It was a genius who only came out once in a thousand years, and Han Xin had just led the troops. It may not have such a high command ability.

The most amazing thing about Emperor Longwu's command. It is not something that can be learned by reading a few military books, but it is necessary to have a large amount of actual combat experience and a good understanding of the quality of all units of the whole army in order to achieve this.

Even if Emperor Longwu understood military affairs, he never really fought. It is impossible to complete such a beautiful transfer and deployment, and there must be other high-level guidance.

"Wang Kefan? He's good at fighting, but he's never commanded a large army, right? Tong Yizhen was a little unconvinced, although he and Liang Zhiren were in Guangdong. In the past year, I have also heard of Wang Kefan's name, and such a brilliant record of killing Bo Erhui has long caused a sensation in the Ming army.

But everyone has heard the details of that battle, a few thousand people in the Gongyi battalion against a few thousand people in the Qing army, using the terrain to suffocate the Eight Banners to death, can only be regarded as an ambush battle, and a large-scale battle is completely different...... Wang Kefan's Gongyi battalion has only seven or eight thousand people, and he has never commanded a large-scale battle, so he has such a high command ability?

"I'm weird too, but it won't be someone else." Liang Zhiren used the method of elimination, whether it was Emperor Longwu himself, or Fu Guan and Guo Weijing, they did not have this ability, and the rest could only be Wang Kefan.

"Is he from a family of generals?" Tong Yizhen thought of another possibility, if Wang Kefan was from a family of generals, received systematic military education since he was a child, and after several years of actual combat training, he could indeed reach this level.

"I don't know, anyway, his soldiers are very strong, Bixia can kill Duerde, I'm afraid it is also Wang Kefan who borrowed flowers to offer Buddha......" Liang Zhiren was observing the Gongyi battalion, unlike the nervous Guangdong soldiers, after the Gongyi battalion finished the formation, they all sat down on the spot to rest, except for the generals, heralds and scouts, etc., thousands of soldiers sat silently, occasionally someone glanced over, but there was a sense of indifference and murder in their eyes.

This is the eyes of veterans of a hundred battles, although they are all ordinary soldiers, but once they are on the battlefield, they are the kings and masters here!

For Guangdong soldiers, those who have been on the battlefield two or three times and felt the atmosphere of the battlefield are not considered recruits, and those who have fought with the enemy with their own hands must be considered veterans...... Liang Zhiren is most proud of the fact that the 4,000 men and horses under his command are all veterans, and they have all fought with real swords, but compared with the soldiers of the Gongyi battalion, the Guangdong soldiers under him are like a group of new soldiers.

"Lao Tong, let's go back to the bottom of Wang Kefan, don't put the old qualifications in front of him, if I guess well, the battle in Ganzhou will depend on his Gongyi battalion......"

Liang Zhiren is going to inquire about what the Gongyi Battalion has done in Jiangxi and Fujian in the past few months, everyone is a military general, and they are the most sensitive to each other's strength, if Wang Kefan does have the talent of a general, and the Gongyi Battalion is indeed a strong army, then it is worth befriending him.

It doesn't matter if you're young, young people have great prospects, don't bully young people into poverty......

On the city wall of Nankang County, the Qing army guards stared at the dragon flag on the handsome boat, hissing and gasping in their mouths.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is here!

Driving the Expedition!

This is like a pie falling from the sky, but the Qing army guards know very well that they don't have the teeth to swallow.

The arrival of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not a good thing for him.

Since the royal drive is in person, it must be all elite, look at the skillful mobilization and deployment of the Ming army, it is obvious that they are all elite troops, and the Ming Dynasty has taken out all the blood capital of Zuihou!

South Cannes is in danger!

The Ming army came too fast, he had limited time to react, and he did not thoroughly understand the enemy's situation, and the scouts only showed that the army was advancing by land and water, with a total strength of about 50,000 people, but he did not find that the Ming Emperor actually drove the expedition in person!

"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and contracted the defense ...... in time" The Qing army guard secretly rejoiced, he heard that the army was strong, so he gave up the small stronghold near Nankang County, and concentrated all the troops in the county seat, relying on the strong city, can hold on and wait for reinforcements, if he can pass this pass, there is still the possibility of making a great contribution.

Other strongholds can be easily abandoned, the Qing army generals are most concerned about now, that is, the Qing army water division in the water village, the Ming army infantry is too strong, the water village will definitely not be able to hold it, and the Qing army water division can only take care of itself.

Fortunately, the strength of this naval division is not weak, and if it can defeat the naval division of the Ming army, this battle will be won in half.

A fierce water war is about to break out! (To be continued......)
