Li Hongfei's side, along with Wang Guoxing, entered the palace to face the saint to discuss the defense of Nanjing, and in the camp of the Qing army on the other side, he was also discussing countermeasures to attack Nanjing City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Fifteenth brother, I heard that you fell into the hands of a pirate and a woman this time, and lost 100,000 troops successively?" Azig asked with a concerned expression.

Aixin Jueluo Azig, born in the 33rd year of Wanli, was born in the 33rd year of Wanli, and his biological mother was Abahai Wulanara, the twelfth son of Nurhachi, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

He was the half-brother of Nurhachi's fourteenth son, Dorgon, and his fifteenth son, Dordor the fifteenth.

As the saying goes: Fight tigers and brothers, and go into battle as father and son soldiers. What Azig is most concerned about now is the loss of his brother's troops.

If the loss is too great, he will not let Duoduo go up in this battle of Nanjing, after all, with the credit of Yangzhou, it is enough to make up for the previous mistakes.

"It's not that serious, I did lose 40,000 sailors in the previous water war, but Zheng Zhilong's old fox quietly made up 30,000 for me. However, in the battle of Chongming Island, Bolo's idiot, met the Qi family's army, left 40,000 troops and fled back in embarrassment, and then I kindly let him wear the guilt and make meritorious service, attacking the south gate of Yangzhou, this guy led an army of 50,000 people, and was actually defeated by the 500 Qi army, which is a shame on my Qing Dynasty. "Whenever Duoduo thinks of Bolo, his heart is full of resentment.

Regarding the Suzhou New Army sent by Li Hongfei, Duoduo mistakenly thought it was the Qi Family's army, after all, Li Hongfei was a little-known little person, and he would not enter his eyes at all.

Moreover, the Suzhou New Army, in addition to being very famous in Suzhou, has never been on the battlefield, and even the generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty are not optimistic about this army, let alone the spies who collect intelligence.

If Zheng Chenggong hadn't been in the ranks of the Qi family's army, Zheng Zhilong wouldn't have noticed this army at all.

"In this way, this Zheng Zhilong is in the Qing Dynasty, and now it is the time for me to cross the Qing Dynasty to the south, why don't you let Zheng Zhilong surrender us and send a sailor to help our army?" Azig said.

He has no interest in Qi Hongying, and he has also analyzed Qi Hongying's tactics before, knowing that in the first battle of Chongming Island, the Qing army was too restricted, there was no heavy artillery, no cavalry, and it was really difficult to deal with all-firearms infantry and chariot battalions.

In addition, the Qi family's army is full, but it is only 50,000 people, and the Qing army is a full 350,000 army.

However, Azig covets Zheng Zhilong's sailor.

The biggest weakness of the Qing army was the naval division, once Zheng Zhilong's naval division surrendered, the unification of the Central Plains was just around the corner.

"Zheng Zhilong is an old fox, I took a lot of effort to persuade his fleet to withdraw from the Yangtze River waterway, and this person's plan is very big, not you and I can surrender, I once wrote to the fourteenth brother (Dorgon), the fourteenth brother feels that now we have a large number of generals in the Qing Dynasty, don't pay attention to Zheng Zhilong, this villain, just need to stabilize temporarily, and when I successfully cross the Yangtze River in the Qing Dynasty, he Zheng Zhilong will beg to surrender." Dordor explained.

Now that the Qing army is in full swing, where will it succumb to a pirate leader?

Zheng Zhilong wanted to take advantage of the fisherman, but Dolgon was also not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he directly stabilized Zheng Zhilong with a delaying tactic, and won a respite for the Manshui division in the Yangtze River.

"Since the fourteenth has a way, then I won't get the axe, I came here in advance this time, just to inform the fifteenth brother that the main force of my western army will arrive in Chuzhou in two days, and you will be responsible for arranging the sailor to respond, and when our two armies converge, we can land from Xuanwu Lake and take Nanjing directly!" Azig explained the purpose of the trip.

It turned out that Azig only led 10,000 cavalry to arrive in Yangzhou first, firstly to visit his younger brother, and secondly, to discuss how to attack Nanming.

"Xuanwu Lake is not advisable, Qi Hongying, that slut, not only arranged a large number of artillery arrays in the Zhenjiang area, but also laid a large number of mines in the narrow waterway, once the naval division warship tries to break in, it will suffer a double blow of heavy artillery and mines, and it will not be able to break through at all." Dodor said angrily.

After capturing Yangzhou, Duoduo also tried to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and wanted to send sailors to bombard the city of Nanjing, but the fleet made several sorties, but failed to break through the blockade of the Zhenjiang artillery array.

Li Hongfei not only arranged artillery arrays on the shore, but also sent merchant ships to pour a large amount of sand and gravel into the narrowest part of the river, making the already narrow river channel full of reefs.

In addition, the Yangtze River waterway is now in the dry season, even if the sailors who are very familiar with the Yangtze River waterway drive large ships to this area, they also need Li Hongfei to send people to guide the way, one by one, once the two big ships are side by side, it is easy to run aground.

In this way, when the fleet of Duoduo's sailors passed through this waterway, if a large ship was sunk by shore guns or mines, the entire river would be blocked, and the fleet would have to stay where it was and be bombarded except by the same route, and could not enter the Nanjing area at all.

Li Hongfei did not hesitate to cut off the Yangtze River waterway in order to deal with the Manchu Qing Division, which can be described as crazy, but this is also understandable, after all, the ships that can still run on the river today are basically Manchu fleets, or fleets that are trying to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"In this case, then we can only land from Dangtu and other places." After understanding Duoduo's predicament, Azig also had to give up his plan to land on the beach from Xuanwu Lake.

Although Zuo Mengeng's fleet upstream is also very large, most of them are merchant ships, and there are not even a few artillery pieces, so it is basically impossible to storm Xuanwu Lake.

"Brother Twelve can order the army to stop advancing eastward, and I will lead the army to pull out the camp tomorrow and join the army of Brother Twelve, and then attack Nanjing first, and then destroy the Huang (Degong) Ma (Shiying) coalition army." Dord's ideas were in line with Azig's.

On the one hand, due to political considerations, the Qing army insisted on taking Nanjing first, and only by occupying Nanjing could it really hit the Han people's determination to resist.

On the other hand, it is also because there are not many defenders in Nanjing at present, once this opportunity is given up, and Huang Degong, Ma Shiying and other troops in the rear are entangled, when the time comes, the army of Qinwang from all walks of life will gather in Nanjing, and then want to take it, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

"This method is very good, without further ado, I will immediately send someone to inform the rear army, stop the advance, and wait for the army to converge." Azig was a fierce general.

"Report ..........!"

Just as the two were discussing tactics, an urgent report suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Tongzhou defenders urgent report: Yesterday morning (7 o'clock --- 9 o'clock), the Ming army of Chongming Island, suddenly crossed the river in a big way, and marched towards Tongzhou, you time (17 o'clock --- 19 o'clock) The vanguard of the Ming army has hit the city of Tongzhou, and now the battle situation is unknown." Someone quickly reports the key content.

"Good! This thief mother-in-law, I won't beat her, she dares to take the initiative to provoke me! The order went down, and the sailors set sail immediately, cut off the enemy's rear road, and the generals of each army returned to the camp to reorganize the army, and after an hour, they pulled out, recaptured Tongzhou, and exterminated the Qi army! Duoduo said angrily.

What came to pass on was yesterday's battle report, and in order to attack Nanjing, Duoduo only left 3,000 Han and Eight Banner defenders in Tongzhou to maintain local security, he didn't expect the Qi family army to really dare to take the initiative.

With the combat effectiveness of the Qi family's army, dealing with the three thousand Han and Eight Banners, Tongzhou has definitely been captured at this time, and what Duoduo has to do is not to rescue, but to recapture and completely annihilate the enemy army.

"The fifteenth brother can't be reckless, this is the Han people's plan to save Zhao from Wei and the army will go to Tongzhou, and it will take six or seven days to come and go, and the Qi family army is not easy to handle, one is not good, it will have to be delayed for more than ten days, and then the battle of Nanjing, we will lose the opportunity." Azig reminded.

He didn't have what happened to Duoduo, so he naturally couldn't understand how much Duoduo hated the Qi family army in his heart, so he could rationally analyze the current situation.

"So what do you say? Is it possible to let the Qi family army seize Tongzhou, or even Taizhou, Yangzhou and other places? "Dordor was already confused.

"Since it's a plan to save Zhao from Wei Wei, why don't we give him a plan?" Azig said.
