Chapter 49: Add an egg

Everyone looked at the map again and discussed, especially about Bali Town and the 10,000 cavalry stationed outside the city, this threat is not removed, Yang Su and the others are only more than 50,000 people when they are full, plus tens of thousands of prisoners who help transport heavy baggage, where do they dare to let go of their hands to attack the city!

From time to time, scouts come to report that the scouts of the Yangzhou defenders meet and clash, and the two sides have their own losses, although Yang Su's losses are smaller, but it is enough to prove that the Yangzhou defenders are not weak, at this time the sky is going to be dark, and the skirmishes are meaningless, Yang Su also probably figured out the situation in Yangzhou, so he recalled most of the scouts. Leave the night and don't go home.

The army has already selected a camp near the Yangtze River on the Shanyin side and stationed it, and sent people to set up light and dark sentinels and scouts, and Yangzhou should not have a night attack, after all, fighting a night attack in this year is a technical job, and it is not as simple as it is said in the play.

Tens of thousands of people started to build fortifications, waiting for the sun to go down, the camp has been set up, tonight the sky is just right, the cool breeze is blowing, the campfire in the camp is a piece, the horse has no night grass is not fat, the people are not rich, and Jiangnan Chengping has not experienced war for more than 200 years, the gentry are simply rich, the army has been looted all the way, plus the city of Nanjing that has just been sold.

There is no shortage of all kinds of supplies, that is, even the captives can eat enough, and at this time, most of the soldiers can still eat a few pieces of dried meat that Yang Su bought from the mall.

Since Yang Suyuan left Beijing more than half a month ago, in the past two days, Yang Su actually didn't feel much, saying that he was fighting, but in fact, he was more in a hurry, and the real war was barely a bit of a struggle for the battle outside Nanjing.

However, although he didn't feel anything, the army rushed back and forth for thousands of miles in just one month, broke through 14 cities in a row, and defeated more than 100,000 officers and soldiers.

How can the power of the Red Lady not be terrifying inside and outside the court? Fortunately, Yang Su did not break through Nanjing City, otherwise it is really hard to say what the reaction of the people in the world would be at this time, and I don't know how many people who originally had evil intentions would take advantage of the situation.

However, even if it is this kind of scene now, the world has already been shaken, and the court is even more turbulent, and the twists and turns of the impeachment of Gao Qiqian have been piled up into a small mountain, and there are many twists and turns that suggest that other generals go south, and there are also many twists and turns that ask Yang Su to relax the restrictions and allow the local gentry to run regiments to train and train themselves.

However, the words are not important, and the thoughts of the ministers in the court are not important, except for Yang Su sometimes going back to the palace to take care of his body, and then showing his face, in addition to the next few holy decrees to urge Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, and Qin Liangyu to step up the extermination of the Liukou, and then go to support Gao Qiqian.

It is to order Huang Degong to pay close attention to the training of soldiers, this time Huang Degong's training of the forbidden army is mainly to use firearms, flintlock pistols after system strengthening, plus the dozens of blast furnaces erected in the new city, the Ming Dynasty is now not short of steel, and the craftsmen in the palace are constantly reproducing guns day and night, and 1,000 guns are produced in a month. And with the continuous proficiency of the craftsmen, this number is still increasing, and according to the speculation of the Firearms Bureau, it will be able to produce 3,000 pieces a month in the future.

After the improved and strengthened flintlock pistol, it is enough to break three layers of heavy armor within fifty steps, and the skilled soldiers can do it to do two rounds per minute, plus Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers to cooperate with the battle, and Guan Ning Iron Cavalry on the side, Yang Su has finally put together a good hand of cards since half a year, and can face next year's Jin Dynasty entry.

The more Yang Su thought about it, the more excited he became, although he had always had confidence in himself, but now that he had finally been able to see the moon, he was confident that if he was given another two months, he would be able to sweep away the gentry in the four coastal provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangzhou, and then destroy the rogues with his backhand.

Next year, he has hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers in hand, and the hundred officials in the court are grass mustard for him, once the internal hidden dangers are swept away, then this Ming Dynasty, which has a population of more than 200 million, is rich and powerful and began to industrialize, which is enough to make any enemy frightened, and what saints and immortals will be crushed by the wheels of humanity and become the dust of history.

Yang Sudu stood on a big rock on the mountainside, standing with his hands in his hands and looking at the bright moon, he was quite excited, his revenge was about to be avenged!

"What is Brother Yang thinking?"

Yang Su turned his head to look at Xiao Xuan, who was dressed in a python robe and pressed a sword with one hand, and the graceful figure was hidden under the wide python robe, Xiao Xuan had a pair of strong and plump long legs that were rare for women in the Ming Dynasty because of his martial arts, Yang Su liked it very much.

"You're here!" Yang Su stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Xuan up.

Xiao Sui was not shy, boldly stretched out her hand to hold Yang Su, jumped up lightly on her feet, snuggled up to Yang Su, and stood with him.

"What is the morale of the soldiers?" Yang Su asked casually.

"Continuous rapid march, although I rested in Nanjing for two days, but in the end it is still not enough, the soldiers have nothing to do except for the martial arts cultivation that has broken through to the realm of practicing muscles, ordinary soldiers are a little tired, and the conditions for staying in the field at night are still relatively difficult, but our army has won successive battles, the morale of the soldiers is quite high, Brother Yang also specially prepared dried meat for them, in my opinion, it is no problem to persist until Yangzhou is defeated!"

Xiao Xuan put his head around Yang Su and put his head on Yang Su's shoulder, and looked sideways at Yang Su's somewhat worried preaching;

"However, people can't do anything with horses, especially the Guanning Iron Rider wearing heavy armor, I think many horses have lost no less than ten pounds in this month, and I am afraid that these war horses will have to be scrapped after a long time!"

The endurance of horses is not as good as that of people, and many infantry often have to wait for the arrival of cavalry and baggage when maneuvering over long distances, and as a result, the cavalry is often late after the infantry has recuperated.

Moreover, cavalry could not fight continuously, and it took a long time to rest and recuperate in one battle, but the infantry could fight many times. Although cavalry is much more mobile than infantry when maneuvering on the battlefield, it is weaker than infantry when maneuvering in long-distance campaigns.

The cavalry used two horses or even three horses for long-distance expeditions in a short period of time, and the horses were fed beans instead of forage. In ancient times, beans were much more expensive than forage, and the money for raising one cavalry could raise ten infantrymen, after all, horses were much more expensive than people in ancient times, and someone had to be specially designed to serve the horses.

"It's a problem for the horses to go back and forth for more than a thousand miles in a month, so I'll go get some eggs and add them to the horses at night!" Yang Su grabbed Xiao Sui's hand and comforted.

This time, he received more than 20 million taels, and he was not afraid to spend this amount of money. If the war horse is run away because of this bit of silver, it will be a real waste. The Ming Dynasty did not produce horses and bought them from outside the Guan, and now that Mongolia has been subdued by the Jin Dynasty, it will be difficult for Yang Su to buy war horses on a large scale in the future!

Waiting until the moon was on the branches, Yang Su asked Xiao Sui to go back to the tent to rest, and then the Yuan Shen rushed back to the capital, these days the capital is not calm Yang Su will rush back every night.

In the early morning of the next day, when Yang Su came back to the camp, Xiao Xuan, Cao Wenzhao, Liu Guoneng and other generals in the big tent were already here. In addition, there are two people who are negotiating with Xiao Xuan.

Girlfriend: "I can't do it, spare me!" Me: "Hold on a little longer, keep your hips a little higher." Girlfriend: "It hurts." Me: "No, spread your feet a little more and raise them higher." Girlfriend: "Alas... Ay..! Me: "Yes! Bear with me, that's all. Girlfriend: "It hurts! I can't stand it anymore. "My girlfriend's face was flushed, beads of sweat appeared on the top of her head, she was panting fragily, her eyes were closed and her mouth was open, and she looked very painful. Girlfriend: "Oh... Oh... Yes! Hurt! The girlfriend kept moaning, closed her eyes, and shed tears. Thirty minutes later, I finally spoke: "Okay, daughter-in-law, it's time for your stretching training, you can stop!" ”
