In Wuhu, Anhui, Ningnan Jingkou general Leer Jin was sent by Yue Le to lead an army of 55,000 to the south of the Yangtze River to recover Jinling. The original plan was to arrive at Chuzhou opposite Jinling first, but considering that there was no way to cross the river with the Mawei Navy patrolling the river after the army arrived in Chuzhou, it was necessary to cross the river in the Wuhu section in advance, and then prepared to go straight to Jinling City.

Le Erjin is also Aixinjue Luo, an authentic imperial nobleman, a Manchurian Red Banner person, and a Qing court clan. He is the great-grandson of Prince Dai Shan, the grandson of Prince Ying Sahaxuan, and the fourth son of King Luck Dehun of Shun County.

Although he is only thirty-one years old now, he is indeed a good general who leads the army, and he should be regarded as a handsome talent. In the past two years, he led the army in Jingzhou, and it was not once or twice that he fought with Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses.

At the very beginning, Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses captured Yuanzhou and Changde in Hunan, and the troops arrived in Badong and approached Xiangyang. In March last year, Liu Zhifu, the general of the Wu army, led the boat division to invade Yiling, and set up five battalions in the river. Only a month later, in April, Tao Jizhi, the general of the Wu army, attacked from Yidu again, and Leerjin defeated him again. In July last year, he defeated several armies of Wu's army one after another. Just three months ago, a group of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Wu army invaded Junzhou, and Le Erjin personally deployed it and ordered the commander of the department, Iribu, to defeat it. Two months ago, Yang Laijia, the general of the Wu army, came to attack. Arrayed on the top of the mountain, cut off the road of the Qing army from the bottom of the ravine, and Leerjin personally led the army to charge and kill. In one battle, more than 3,000 people were beheaded.

Wuhu is only more than 200 miles away from Jinling, and if the speed of the army is accelerated, it will be able to arrive in three days. The Mawei Army and Navy were all stationed in the original Jiangning Navy Barracks, and the city was full of Mawei Army soldiers who followed up, with a total number of only 10,000 people. At this moment, there are still more than 6,000 Mawei Navy and 10,000 army soldiers on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and they have taken Yangzhou Mansion, Huai'an Mansion and other places.

After discovering that the Qing army was coming, Geng Jingzhong and the cheering generals discussed a plan. The Mawei army did not defend the city, but took the initiative to attack. Prepare to rely on the strong combat power of the Mawei Army to defeat the Qing army in the field. Therefore. Leaving 3,000 men to continue to defend the city, the other 7,000 soldiers and the newly established 5,000 Jinling City New Army formed an army of 12,000 to meet the Qing army in the direction of Wuhu. These 3,000 soldiers and horses still use cold weapons to fight, and most of them are the original defenders of Jinling City.

The 7,000 defenders of Jinling City were actually less than 2,000 people. The rest all surrendered. Separate the grain from the chaff. More than 1,300 sergeants were selected from more than 5,000 people, plus more than 3,000 new troops from the direction of Suzhou, who were also reorganized from prisoners, to form a large army of 5,000 people. The number of Qing troops captured by the Mawei Army in several major battles exceeded 30,000, and from these 30,000 people, a total of less than 8,000 sergeants were selected to form a new army. After all, these are all good hands picked out by the generals among the short people, and it has been nearly a month since the integration and the military discipline constraints of the Mawei Army. I can barely pull it out to deal with the scene.

The veterans of the Mawei Army naturally did not need any pre-war mobilization, and the military order was simply issued to open and prepare for battle! The ranks of seven thousand warriors. The march was slow, and the queue was not scattered at all. And the 5,000 people of the new army will not work, although they have studied hard for half a month, but this queue still likes the old routine, the pace is not neat at all, and the pace is chaotic, then there is no momentum at all.

This time the leader set off Geng Jingzhong himself, although all the generals under his command tried their best to get right, but he still decided to personally lead the troops, one can boost morale, and he also wants to train himself, this face must experience more, since ancient times, the generation of heroes who have achieved hegemony, no one is afraid of going to the battlefield. Of course, the old army of the Mawei Army doesn't need to worry about it, but Geng Jingzhong brought out 5,000 new troops this time, and he also had the intention of sharpening them. In fact, for Geng Jingzhong, strategy is dispensable, and tactics and soldiers' suzhì are the things that play a decisive role.

In this battle with the Qing court, although Geng Jingzhong did not charge directly, he still had to watch it on the spot. The two armies set up camp at a distance of ten miles after the sun set down yesterday, and the Qing army was numerous, and part of the army of nearly 60,000 people entered the county seat of Dangtu, and more than half of them camped around the county city wall. The Mawei army set up camp on the riverside ten miles away, and on their right side was the Yangtze River, and there were more than 80 Mawei warships on the river. However, the naval soldiers did not land to fight with the army soldiers, they still have a task, and then continue to sail towards the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, it is estimated that they should be able to meet the Qing court's Poyang Lake Water Division, and the task of the Mawei Navy is to directly attack the Qing Army's Poyang Lake Water Division, and then destroy it, so that the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River really belong to Mawei and have a problem in the world.

It was not a long time for the two armies to begin to fight, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the two armies could see the figures, and their respective phalanxes had been sorted out. On the side of the Mawei Army, the four squares of 4,000 people in the front of the queue had just lined up when they heard a desolate horn sound from the front, and it was obvious that the Qing army was about to start attacking. Geng Jingzhong, who was standing on the bucket cart, immediately discovered the actions of the Qing soldiers and horses in front. He could see from the telescope that the Qing army knew that the Mawei Army had been able to eliminate a large number of Qing troops in Jiangnan before, and now it had become a lot more cautious.

I saw a boxy oversized vehicle in front of me, which people usually call a shield car. I saw the shield cart slowly coming forward, and Geng Jingzhong counted it. There were about eighty of them, and each of them had a few flags on it that he couldn't read, and he couldn't see how many people were inside and behind the shield. Geng Jingzhong also found that not far behind the shield cart, there were also one Qing soldier after another, and behind them, there were hundreds of auxiliaries holding thick wooden shields, which were large enough to accommodate two or three people to hide behind.

Geng Jingzhong made a rough calculation, it is estimated that this time the Qing army dispatched at least more than 3,000 soldiers, and there were more than 2,000 auxiliaries, although he could not see the movement of the Qing army behind the shield car, but he also saw it when he read the history books, in history, the Qing army or the Qing army has always been in the front line with the shield car as the front, used to consume the firepower of the Ming army on the city wall or in front of the battle, and used the shield car to resist bows, arrows, guns and bullets. This was followed by the soldiers, who were armed with shields, broadswords, spears and other weapons, and wore two layers of heavy armor. These two layers of heavy armor are generally chain mail on the inside, and cotton armor on the outside is inlaid with iron plates, so the protection is quite amazing, and it can block the attacks of ordinary arrows.

Some Qing generals even wore three layers of heavy armor, the innermost layer of chain mail, followed by iron armor, and the outermost layer of iron-inlaid cotton armor. With these three layers of heavy armor, it can also effectively protect against bows and arrows and firearms strikes at a certain distance.

"Fuck, these Tartars are really coming in turtle shells." Seeing such a situation, Geng Jingzhong couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know if those Mini rifles could cause damage to those Qing soldiers who were wrapped in several layers of iron armor.

Those shield carts got closer and closer, and they had reached a distance of more than two hundred steps, and at this time, they could already see the appearance of those shield carts with the naked eye. In front of these shield carts were tall thick planks covered with a thick leather quilt to effectively resist guns and bows, and below were four wheels that could be rotated flexibly. Inside, you can hide people, as long as you push the shield cart to the front of the formation, the soldiers in the cart can immediately jump out and fight the enemy. This kind of shield car is also the Qing army's most proud siege and attack weapon, in the previous battles, the Qing army used to rely on this kind of shield car to attack the city and seize the land invincible.

Seeing the shield cart approaching, Geng Jingzhong immediately ordered loudly: "The cannon is out of the queue and knock out those dog days' shield carts!" (To be continued......)
