It was already afternoon.

The sun is setting in the west.

The sun was slanting on the ground.

The north wind was blowing.

The weeds and shrubs on the ground were moving in a hurry, as if there were layers of thin waves on the ground churning incessantly.

Zhu Shudou, the guard of the Qing Army's Golden Fort, who was neatly draped, carefully lay on a battlement in the strong city of the military fort, poking his head out and looking.

Zhu Shudou once followed Ah Gui to participate in the Battle of Jinchuan.

Officer to Yunnan General Army.

The army is known for its strictness.

He is also one of the few Han officials in the Qing army who dares to charge with arrows.

Historically.

Zhu Shooting Dou personally led the troops to charge and was killed when he suppressed the White Lotus Sect's uprising.

This kind of fierce general who dares to fight is not too many in the Qing army.

Now Zhu Shotdou is even more with the Yunnan Green Battalion under his command, as well as an artillery team reinforced to him, responsible for guarding the Golden Fort.

As a support for mutual support with the main city of Ganzhou.

In the Golden Fort, counting the artillery team of one child and mother cannon, the total strength is also close to 3,800 people.

The number of people is not large.

However, the Golden Fort as a whole is not large, and more than 3,000 people are enough to defend such a strong fortress.

As long as there is enough food, grass, and ordnance.

Even if tens of thousands of troops besieged it, it would be difficult to capture such a fortress composed of artillery, muskets, and a city defense system made of bricks and stones.

However, Zhu Shudou, who was lying on the battlements and squinting his eyes to observe his enemies, always felt a little uneasy.

He looked over and over again at the Ming army infantry on guard in the distance, as well as the huge camp that was being built in the distance, and the red background sun and moon and the same bright flag flying high on the camp.

Under the gaze of Zhu Shotdou.

Soldiers from five brigades sat on the ground and rested in formation.

They were armed with muskets, dressed in fiery red uniforms, with cowhide boots on their feet, backpacks on their shoulders, and a bowler hat about three inches brim on their heads.

The hat was covered with gray linen.

I don't know what kind of material it's made of?

This is actually a one-piece die-cast steel helmet.

After having a large amount of cheap steel, industrial products such as steel helmets only need to start the production line to produce energy.

Very efficient.

So now the Ming army is basically equipped with this kind of wide-eaves steel helmet.

Subsequently.

Zhu Shudou's gaze shifted to another group of people.

They were not armed with muskets, and they were not wearing red Ming army uniforms, but uniform gray cut-off uniforms, wearing cloth boots on their feet, and holding shovels with short handles in their hands.

These should be recruited by the Ming army with military and civilian husbands.

Or rather, auxiliaries.

is wielding a shovel in his hand to dig trenches and set up a village.

Even the auxiliary troops seem to be organized in a disciplined manner, with a clear division of labor and an orderly manner.

Even these auxiliaries, as long as they are equipped with weapons, they can also go into battle to kill the enemy, and they are worse than most of the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army.

"Junmen, there are five brigades, about 20,000 people, it seems that they are just the vanguard of the anti-Ming Dynasty, and there are about 10,000 auxiliaries with the army."

Just when Zhu Shudou was observing.

His Goshha hurried over and whispered.

"That's more than 30,000 people, and it is impossible for Reverse Ming to dispatch only such a few people this time. They have 100,000 elites, and they have recently worked hard to recruit troops, and a rough estimate is that there are 130,000 or 40,000 soldiers..."

Zhu Shudou said with a frown.

This stout, dark-faced, broad-eared, good at archery, good at using soldiers, a pair of iron-walled like iron tongs like the general of the Qing army couldn't help but sigh, and said in a low voice: "The Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for more than 100 years, and a hundred years have already passed, and now the Qing Dynasty is a glorious and prosperous era, which shows that the Qing Dynasty has its own destiny in the body.

Zhu Shudou looks like a vulgar martial artist, but when he opens his mouth, he is crepe, which is quite a bit of a literary and brilliant meaning.

"Junmen, no matter what kind of hero he is, it's better to let the humble post take the defeated people out to test the Ming thief's catties, isn't it just to defeat the Guangdong and Guangxi soldiers who are like waste snacks, let us Yunnan soldiers go up and try!"

"For the general, plan and then act! Going out to fight, wasting the lives of the soldiers in vain, this time the general only defended the city, and could not go out of the city to fight, so as not to give the enemy a chance! ”

Zhu Shudou said.

The Ming army defeated 100,000 Qing troops in the Battle of Guangzhou.

Of course, the top brass of the Qing court knew what had happened to the battle, and they also knew how they had lost.

But the impact of this battle is not to the point that everyone knows.

So...

Now there are still green battalion soldiers who want to give the Ming army a try.

At this moment, Zhu Shudou and Goshha beside him were both breathless.

Right in the rear of five infantry brigades.

A squad of cavalry came.

The tall horse, neatly draped, and the shiny cuirass shimmered with the light of the sun, like a mirror, so that Zhu Jiaodou couldn't help but see that his eyes were stinged by the reflected light.

He squinted, and the shock in his eyes could not be concealed by the light reflected from the breastplate.

More than a thousand rides.

The queue is as neat as a queue of pawns.

All the same color steel helmet, half-length cuirass, nine-foot riding spear.

Under the crotch are Indian folded horses with a shoulder height of six or seven feet.

Between the marches.

Like a wall.

"What an elite cavalry!"

Zhu Shudou exclaimed.

Don't say anything else.

The shiny cuirass alone is enough to make people unable to move their eyes.

To have such a bright piece of armor means that it is definitely made of steel die-casting.

All of a sudden, a thousand shock cavalry equipped with cuirass appeared on the battlefield.

made Zhu Shotdou even more worried about the prospect of this battle.

But what he didn't know was.

This thousand horses are King Zhu Ming's baby bump.

It is absolutely reluctant to really put it on the battlefield.

But the thousand rides are not useless - this is actually for seeing.

The cost of creating such a cavalry is too high.

It was so high that Boss Zhu was also a little distressed.

However, with this thousand cavalry to support the façade, the Ming army will also have cavalry that can be used in the future.

According to Boss Zhu's idea.

The ideal cavalry should be the kind of cavalry that rides cheap war horses, is armed with muskets and handcuffs, gallops thousands of miles, and turns like the wind.

I don't feel sorry if I'm disabled.

The kind that can be replenished at any time...

Well.

Wait for the development of firearms that can fire bursts such as revolvers.

This low-cost cavalry can be set up at the beginning.

After all, if you have to fight the Russians in the steppes and the Western Regions in the future....

It is still necessary to give full play to the advantages of the herdsmen of the grasslands.

If you are grazing and fighting at the same time.

Such a cavalry army can even fight directly to Moscow without the need for logistical supply lines ...

Boss Zhu rode on a horse, holding a telescope and looked at the Golden Fort and Ganzhou City not far away.

Napoleon exclaimed: "Very good fortress, considering the zigzag structure that exerts firepower, if in the past, it would have been almost impossible to break through such a fortress without half a year to a year of preparation." ”

"But times have changed now."

Of course Zhu Daohua knows.

This kind of fortress-like fortress is quite difficult to attack according to the traditional method.

But now, this kind of fortress fortress cannot resist the footsteps of the Ming army.

"The only problem is... If we break Ganzhou City too quickly, Qianlong won't run away, right? ”

"Probably not... So cowardly, right? ”

Napoleon was also not so sure.

"It's best to let him go if he wants to, but he can't go, has the staff come out with a plan on how to control the main channel of the Yangtze River?"

Zhu Daohua put down the binoculars in his hand and asked.

Napoleon shook his head and said, "The Qing court obviously knew the importance of the Yangtze River, and they were well prepared. ”

"Jiangyin Fortress, Taipingzhou Fortress, Zhenjiang Fortress, and the defense system of Jiangning City itself, these are the four checkpoints that our army must pass through if it wants to enter the Yangtze River from the mouth of the Yangtze River.

In fact, the artillery equipped on the batteries of the Qing army was a very old red-coat cannon.

The Qing court called it the Great General Cannon.

It's a very bulky front-loading smoothbore gun.

Because of the problem of the casting process.

In order to improve the success rate of casting guns, the barrel is extremely thick and the gun body is extremely heavy.

However, because it was mounted on a fixed battery to shoot at the river.

Therefore, it can have a large caliber, and at the same time have good accuracy - because each cannon is blocked off a fixed area, and the gun body will not move at all.

The gunner only needs to load, wait for the target to enter the predetermined area, and then fire and fire.

In this case.

Even such backward artillery.

It can also play a role in blocking the river.

In addition, the Qing army also set up obstacles such as iron cables on the Yangtze River to cooperate with the fort to fight.

Therefore, in order to enter the Yangtze River from the mouth of the Yangtze River, it is necessary to break these four lines of defense.

If the army hadn't taken down these forts in advance.

Relying on the navy alone, I am afraid that it will have to bear a lot of losses.

And if the Ming army has already advanced to Jiangsu and wants to attack these four fortress artillery groups.

Qianlong had already slipped away in advance.

This is also the reason why Qianlong dared to put his own line in Nanchang Mansion.

Even if the Ming army advanced to the foot of Nanchang City.

As long as the waterway of the Yangtze River is still in the hands of the Qing army's Yangtze River Naval Division.

Then Qianlong will have no worries about retreating.

"Is it possible to enter the Yangtze River from the Pearl River?"

Zhu Daohua turned his head next to Tao Biquan, the military advisor.

"Yes, but it's not suitable for a big boat. The Ling Canal connecting the Pearl River and the Xiangjiang River is too narrow to pass through the warships, so why not build warships in Changsha and compete with the Qing Tartars for the Yangtze River? ”

"No hurry, no hurry. The railway from Nanxiong Prefecture to Nan'an Fucheng is only more than 60 miles horizontally and vertically, and there are enough manpower.... A temporary railway was built in three months! When the time comes, you can use the railway to transport the ironclad ship to Nan'an Province for assembly! ”

Of course, the ironclad ship was developed, but it was not very large.

It's too mini to put at sea.

However, it is just right to put it in the river and fight in the river.

A few ironclad ships can run over the Yangtze River sailors of the Qing court.

When the time comes.

The four fortresses that Qianlong painstakingly managed.

It became a pile of scrap metal.

What is a dimensionality reduction strike......

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.
