Except for a few Ming scouts found on the road, Duoduo never saw a large force of the Ming army again.

When the sky cleared, Dordor and his army finally got out of the swamps and endless reeds, and the road was too difficult, and the army began to repair. Due to the unfavorable battle, the morale of Duoduo's army was obviously not high enough, in addition to a large number of casualties, Duoduo also had to worry about his cavalry, and the war horses had to be cleaned quickly, and the rotten horses' hooves almost became Duoduo's heart disease.

This is no longer called rushing down to the south of the Yangtze River, but is called being blocked everywhere, but fortunately, the Baita River has finally built a pontoon bridge, and the logistics supply has been guaranteed, and Duoduo can continue to move forward.

On the fourth day after Zhou Huchen withdrew to Yeshan Town, Duoduo finally appeared.

There were still no scouts fighting, and there was a trench in front of me, and this trench was very long, and it looked like a low Great Wall from a distance.

This terrain is so well chosen, the left and right sides are almost dead ends, Duoduo suddenly felt as if he had entered a loop, Zhou Yuji kept using the terrain to block and then retreat, and then continued to block

Encamped more than a dozen miles away from Yeshan Town, the Duoduo tribe did not rush to attack, but continued to rest.

This line of trenches made Duoduo feel a lot of pressure again, and Duoduo knew that there were many small artillery pieces behind Zhou Yuji's trenches, and there were many, many musketeers. Duoduo didn't want to suffer such losses, he didn't have that kind of confidence, but Duoduo also had artillery and was on his way.

There was a table in Dodor's tent, and there was something on the table, and Dodor was scrutinizing it.

Soon, Gongshun Wang Kekong Youde, Huaishun Wang Geng Zhongming, and Xu Dingguo, who surrendered after killing Gao Jie, entered the big tent.

After giving a salute, Duoduo dressed as a corporal of Lixian, showed the three people their seats, and then pointed to the things on the table and began to ask.

"This is the flowering bomb used by Zhou Yuji's army, and the other one seems to be called a grenade." Dodor was a little uncomfortable with the grenade's pronunciation. After a pause, he continued: "These firearms are extraordinary, tell me about them, what do you think of these two firearms?" ”

As Dordor asked, the three of them stepped forward. This was a long mortar shell, the other was a grenade, of course, unexploded, and disassembled. The gunpowder inside was poured out, and the gunpowder and the parts were placed on the table, but the gunpowder had become powder due to the water bubbles.

Xu Dingguo didn't speak, he couldn't compare with Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. Xu Dingguo is a newly surrendered general, and it will take time to gain trust, and Xu Dingguo knows nothing about firearms, so he doesn't dare to speak at all.

Geng Zhongming, like Xu Dingguo, was half-understood, and he stood quietly in front of the table without speaking.

Or Kong Youde, the commander of the heavy artillery of the Great Qing Dynasty still has some understanding of firearms, and after looking at these things, he gently picked up a lighter device: "Lord Wang, this is the spring of these firearms." The machine spring used to ignite the gunpowder, this is the flint, this machine spring can be said to be ingenious, it should be the craft of Nanjing. It is made by extremely high-level craftsmen, and the craftsmanship is very good! ”

Duoduo nodded, and Kong Youde's statement confirmed his suspicion that such an extremely delicate thing had never been seen in the north.

Kong Youde picked up heavy mortar shells. This mortar shell looks very long due to the need to reload a lot of gunpowder.

"This flowering bullet is a projectile made from the previous flowering bullets, because the flowering bullets in the past are extremely dangerous to use. There were often accidents, so no one used them since. Zhou Yuji's flowering bomb doesn't seem to be prone to accidents, which should come from this two-layer magazine, with an iron medicine tube in the middle, which can just play a role in delaying the explosion. This kind of production is very remarkable, it is by no means possible for ordinary craftsmen to make it, if you want to make it, you must go through the guidance of these craftsmen who have made this kind of flowering bullet, and it is probably impossible to make it yourself! zuihou, just this machine spring, it's too delicate! I'm afraid it will become an unsolvable problem! ”

Duoduo longed too much for this kind of flowering bomb that could be fired almost without stopping, but Kong Youde said it in detail and rated it very highly, and this kind of detail and evaluation also made Duoduo completely dead to the idea of making this flowering bomb.

He couldn't give up on that, and the grenade, and Dordor was equally eager for the weapon that made him give up the attack: "What about this grenade? Can it be made? ”

Kong Youde lowered his eyebrows and pointed to the machine spring: "Lord Wang, it's still a matter of machine spring, this machine spring can't be made, the only way to solve the problem of the explosion of the grenade is to ignite, you can use the fire rope, but you will be afraid of wind and rain with the fire rope, and the gunpowder of this grenade doesn't seem to be ordinary gunpowder." ”

Dodor understood that there was no way to make this spring, and to study this gunpowder, which was a waste of effort, and the conclusion was; Powerless.

Things are not as simple as Duoduo imagined, this projectile and grenade seem simple, but they are the essence of hundreds of years, plus a whole set of light industry base to have such a product, with the knowledge of Jiannu, I am afraid that even in a few hundred years it will not be possible to complete this leap.

Duoduo gave up on his unrealistic idea, and two days later, a dozen redcoat cannons, some small cannons, and a large amount of supplies were transported through the White Tower River, but then a situation arose that made him feel terrified.

Duoduo has a naval army, the commander of this naval army is the original Ming army officer, this officer is Kong Youde's old subordinate, this old officer who has followed Kong Youde for many years is surnamed Xiao, this officer surnamed Xiao was installed with the title of deputy commander, and now he is in charge of this naval army.

Of course, the navy needs boats, crews, generals and soldiers who know how to fight on the water. This deputy commander of Xiao was very trusted, so all kinds of large and small ships and naval soldiers obtained in Huai'an and Xuzhou were under the command of this deputy commander of Xiao.

In addition to being responsible for transporting supplies, in addition, he also has to conduct water battles, which Duoduo means; Once the victory on land is obtained, this naval army of more than 10,000 people can enter Yangzhou along the river.

This naval army is now stopped in the southwesternmost direction of Gaoyou Lake, this place is called Qianjia'an, Qianjia'an is the mouth of the Baita River, and this location is just for Duoduo's army to provide military supplies along the Baita River.

Deputy Dutong Xiao is a half-hung naval army commander, and he knows that this naval army, which is almost always a descending army, is actually a half-hung naval army, which Deputy Xiao Dutong knows well, so he has always been very careful. In addition to occupying the waters in this area, Deputy Commander Xiao has been implementing the system of clearing the wilderness, and no one is allowed to approach except his own people.

This is the shijie of water, and of course the water is also the shijie of the southerners.

How could Yu Dahu watch the enemy running around in his domain, in fact, he had been waiting for a long time, and under the instruction of Zhou Huchen, Yu Dahu began to act.

Weng Zhiqi, who had been thinking about fighting Jiannu, also sent 2,000 people and more than a dozen warships to help; There was also Xu Ziqiang, the unwilling deputy general soldier who had now completely become a vassal of Zhou Huchen, and his more than 20 warships and soldiers also joined in; In addition, Shen Tingyang also contributed 50 huge ships, plus Yu Dahu's constantly expanding river defense team, this team has 20,000 people, and nearly 1,000 large and small ships.

This is almost equivalent to pouring into the nest, the target, Gaoyou Lake.

Combat information plays a decisive role in victory or defeat, which is one of Yu Dahu's great advantages, most of his men are locals, these people are too familiar with the water, familiar with each lake in Gaoyou Lake is clear about how long and deep it is. (To be continued......)
