Soon all the cadres came to the Great Hall, and now the supreme commander of Zhou Jiajun is Commander Liu Hu, as well as three division commanders Zhang Shan, Li Huaping, and Ou Jiahua, as well as three brigade commanders including Jin Shenghuan, Hui Dengxiang, and Wang Yuncheng.

At the meeting, Zhou Fugui was the first to speak: "According to reliable information, the Qing army's entry into the customs this time is for our Xingjing, we must be prepared for nothing, how many soldiers do we have in Xingjing now?" ”

"The soldiers who went to Fusang plus the batch a few days ago went to a total of 100,000, and there are still 30,000 soldiers in Xingjing at present." Liu Hu stood up and introduced.

"We have 5,000 police officers in the police department who can also participate in the fighting." Sun Wu, director of the Public Security Bureau, also stood up at this time and spoke.

"Are you sure you can resist the 180,000 Qing army?" Zhou Fugui looked at the two of them and asked with some concern.

"Please rest assured, our Zhou army now has the best weapons, not to mention annihilating the Qing army, but just resisting, it is more than enough." Liu Hu said confidently.

"Okay, with Commander Liu's words, I'm relieved, but just in case, it's better to send a boat to Fusang to inform the president and let him lead the soldiers and horses back."

Zhou Fugui was relieved a lot when he heard Liu Hu's words, and then made a decision to inform Zhou Xian.

"Yes, such a big thing, we still can't be careless, it's better to inform the president, if we can't keep it this time, our Xingjing will be finished, Xingjing is all the president's hard work, and we can't afford to lose!"

Sun Wu also agreed with Zhou Fugui's decision, and this time it must not fail.

The next step was the deployment of various weapons and supplies, and since it was now a steam engine workshop, the production speed was very fast, basically guaranteeing a semi-automatic rifle for each of the 30,000 soldiers.

There are also 100 Gatlings, 200 98K sniper rifles and 500 AK47 rifles, as well as enough grenades to equip each person with six, as well as tens of thousands of mines.

It can be said that all the family resources of the arsenal have been taken out, and now is the critical moment of Xingjing, so naturally it can't be hidden.

The next thing is to choose the location to block the Qing army, and the location should not be too close to Xingjing, so as to prevent some fish from slipping through the net to Xingjing to cause sabotage.

In the end, after research, it was decided to block the Qing army near Jinan City, because Jinan City was a big city and could not be broken by the Qing army.

After the strategy was formulated, everyone dismissed, and Liu Hu and other officers and generals went to the headquarters of the barracks to study the detailed combat opportunities.

Two days later, 30,000 soldiers of the Zhou family army set off for Jinan City, and finally decided that the 5,000 policemen of the Public Security Bureau should not go, and take precautions around Xingjing to prevent a sneak attack by a small group of Qing troops.

When the Zhou army went out of the city, countless people in Xingjing came to see each other off, because after the propaganda of the Xingjing Daily, all the people in Xingjing knew that the Qing army was coming to attack Xingjing.

But all the people of Xingjing were not worried and afraid, because they knew that the Zhou family army was invincible in the world, and no one could defeat the Zhou family army, which was the belief of the people of Xingjing.

"The Zhou family army will win!"

"The Zhou family army will win!"

"The Zhou family army will win!"

The people of Xingjing who sent each other shouted loudly while stuffing things for the soldiers of the Zhou family.

This scene made the soldiers of the Zhou family army more high-spirited, more confident in this battle, and more unswerving.

When Liu Hu told Wang Yongji the goal of the Qing army's entry into the customs, Wang Yongji was shocked, but he didn't expect that the target of the Qing army was Xingjing.

When he learned that Zhou Xian had brought 100,000 troops to Fusang, he was worried, and now there were only 30,000 soldiers left in the Zhou army, and he didn't know if he could resist the attack of the Qing army, which made Wang Yongji very worried.

Since this time it was to prevent the Qing army from going to Xingjing, it could not be defended in Jinan City, but had to stay on the road to Xingjing.

After repeated research, this time the Zhou army was stationed on a main road five miles away from Jinan City.

As soon as the Zhou army was stationed, it sent a reconnaissance company to reconnoiter the movements of the Qing army, and the rest of the army began to build fortifications.

Five days later, after the confirmation of the reconnaissance company, Liu Hu finally affirmed the marching route of the Qing army, which is their current route, and the Qing army will arrive in one day at most.

At this time, the fortifications had been built, and mines had been planted within 500 meters in front, just waiting for the cavalry of the Qing army to charge and give them a horse to blossom.

The next day, Dolgon led an army of 180,000 to the vicinity of Jinan City in Shandong Province without incident, and this way was like being in his own back garden, without any obstruction.

This gave the Qing soldiers a sense of superiority, that is, no one in the Ming Dynasty dared to appear in front of their Qing army, and this feeling made them a little fluttery.

When he came to the vicinity of Jinan City, Dolgon originally wanted to take Jinan City by the way, but when he heard the spies report that there was a group of about 30,000 Zhou soldiers five miles away from Jinan City.

Dolgon changed this idea, these 30,000 soldiers and horses should be all the current family of the Zhou army, as long as he destroys this group of Zhou family army, then the whole Shandong will be invincible, and then they will be able to plunder the Qing army in Shandong.

Thinking of this, Dolgon hurriedly ordered the whole army to rush to the direction of the Zhou army, and he must use the advantage of his strength to give the Zhou army a severe blow.

"Boss, these Zhou Jiajun's firecrackers are very powerful, last time we suffered the loss of their firearms, so we were so embarrassed." At this time, Abatai reminded beside him.

"Abatai, you are old, and you are still afraid to deal with so little bit of Zhou Jiajun, even if we rush forward, we can kill them all."

Dorgon laughed, unconcerned about Abatai's words.

Seeing that Dorgon was so conceited, Abatai said no more.

A few hours later, the two armies faced each other, one side was the Qing army with 180,000 troops, and the other side was the Zhou army with only 30,000.

Looking at the Zhou family army on the opposite side, which had already made a defensive posture, Dolgon no longer hesitated, and directly ordered 30,000 cavalry to charge, the best way to do this in the plains is to charge with cavalry, as long as the cavalry rushes to the enemy's approach, it will be unstoppable.

Soon 30,000 cavalry were ready to rush directly to the Zhou army, when they just rushed to 500 meters away from the Zhou army's position, the mines buried in the ground began to explode, and the 3,000 cavalry who rushed to the front were suddenly blown up.

Seeing this, the cavalry behind quickly slowed down their horses, they had never seen such a strange scene, they didn't see the Zhou family army on the opposite side using artillery, and their side was actually bombed and suffered heavy losses.

Although they slowed down their horses, it was useless, because more cavalry behind them were rushing towards this side quickly, and if they did not continue forward, they would be hit by the horses behind, and they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue to rush forward.
