It was already afternoon.
The sun sets in the west.
The sunlight spread slantingly on the ground.
The north wind blew loudly.
The weeds and shrubs on the ground were rustling, as if there were layers of fine waves rolling on the ground.
Zhu Shedou, the neatly-dressed guard of the Golden Fort of the Qing Army, carefully lay down on a crenellation of the fort's walls and looked around.
Zhu Shedou once followed Agui to participate in the Battle of Xiaojinchuan.
Official to Yunnan General Soldier.
The military is famous for its strictness.
He was also one of the few fierce Han officers in the Qing army who dared to charge with arrows.
in history.
Zhu Shedou personally led the charge when suppressing the White Lotus Sect uprising and was shot to death.
There are not many warriors like this in the Qing army who dare to fight.
Now Zhu Shedou is taking the Yunnan Green Battalion under his command and an artillery team reinforced to him to guard the Golden Fort.
As a support for mutual support with the main city of Ganzhou.
In the Golden Castle, including the artillery team of a single cannon, the total strength is close to 3,800 people.
The number of people was not that large.
However, the Golden Fort is not large as a whole. 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 it is besieged by tens of thousands of troops, it will be difficult to capture such a fortress composed of a city defense system built with artillery, muskets, and masonry.
However, Zhu Shedou, who was lying on the battlement and squinting his eyes to observe his enemies, always felt a little uneasy.
He looked over and over again at the Ming army infantry who were on guard in the distance, as well as the huge camp being built further away, and the red-bottomed sun and moon flag flying high on the camp.
Under Zhu Shedou's gaze.
Soldiers from five brigades sat on the ground to rest in line with their organizational structure.
They held muskets, wore fiery red military uniforms, cowhide boots on their feet, backpacks on their shoulders, and a rounded hat with a brim of about three inches on their heads.
The hat is covered with gray linen.
I don’t know what material it is made of?
This is actually a one-piece die-cast helmet.
With a large amount of cheap steel, industrialized products such as steel helmets can be continuously produced by just turning on the production line.
high efficiency.
So now the Ming Army is basically equipped with this kind of wide-brimmed steel helmet.
Subsequently.
Zhu Shedou's eyes shifted to another group of people.
They were not equipped with muskets, and they were not wearing red Ming army uniforms, but uniform gray uniforms. They wore cloth boots on their feet and held short-handled shovels in their hands.
These should be military and civilian husbands recruited by the Ming army.
In other words, auxiliary soldiers.
They are waving the shovel in their hands to dig trenches and build strongholds.
Even the auxiliary troops seem to be organized in a structured manner, with clear division of labor and orderliness.
Even these auxiliary soldiers, as long as they are equipped with weapons, can still go into battle to kill the enemy, and they are worse than most of the Qing army's green battalion soldiers.
"At the military gate, five brigades have arrived, with about 20,000 people. It seems that they are just the vanguard of Ni Ming. There are about 10,000 auxiliary troops accompanying the army."
Just when Zhu Shedou was observing.
His Goshhar hurried over and whispered.
"That's more than 30,000 people. It's impossible for Ni Ming to send out only such a small number of people this time. They have 100,000 elites, and they have recently made great efforts to recruit troops. A rough estimate is that there are 130,000 to 40,000 soldiers. ..."
Zhu Shedou frowned and said.
This strong Qing general with a thick build, a dark face and broad ears, good at archery, and good at using soldiers, with a pair of iron walls that looked like iron tongs, could not help but let out a long sigh and said in a low voice: "It has been more than a hundred years since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. After a hundred years, the Qing Dynasty is now in a prosperous and prosperous age, which shows that the Qing Dynasty has its own destiny. In this situation, why should another hero of the Han family get into trouble? This peaceful and prosperous age is like a mirror, and the world is full of strife. I really don’t know. When do you want to take a break..."
Zhu Shedou looked like a vulgar martial artist, but when he opened his mouth, he was literate and somewhat literate.
"Military sect, it doesn't matter what a hero or bear he is, why don't we let the humble soldiers take the defeated troops out to test the strength of the bright thieves? Isn't it just that they defeated the Guangdong and Guangxi soldiers who are like useless snacks? Let us Yunnan soldiers go up and try!"
"As a general, make a decision before taking action! Going out to fight will waste the lives of soldiers in vain. I am only here to defend the city. Do not go out to fight, lest the enemy take advantage of it!"
Zhu Shedou lectured.
The Ming army defeated 100,000 Qing troops in the battle of Guangzhou.
Of course the senior officials of the Qing court knew the battle and how they lost.
But the impact of this battle is not actually known to everyone.
so...
Nowadays, there are still some green soldiers who want to try out the Ming army.
At this moment, Zhu Shedou and Goshiha beside him were both breathless.
Just behind five infantry brigades.
A troop of cavalry arrived.
The tall horse was neatly attired, and the shiny breastplate shone with the light of the sun, like a mirror. Zhu Shedou couldn't help but feel his eyes stinging from the reflected light.
He squinted his eyes, the shock in his eyes couldn't be concealed even by the light reflected from the breastplate.
More than a thousand riders.
The queue was as neat as a queue of infantry.
All wearing wide-brimmed steel helmets, half-breastplates, and nine-foot lances.
The ones under the crotch are all Indian folding horses with a shoulder height of six or seven feet.
While traveling.
Coming like a wall.
"What an elite cavalry!"
Zhu Shedou exclaimed.
Don’t say anything else.
Just this shiny breastplate is enough to make people unable to move their eyes.
The fact that it has such bright armor indicates that it is definitely die-cast from steel.
Suddenly, a thousand shock cavalry equipped with breastplates appeared on the battlefield.
Zhu Shedou became even more worried about the prospect of this battle.
But what he didn't know was.
These thousand horses are King Zhu Ming's treasure.
It is absolutely reluctant to use it on the battlefield.
But these thousand cavalry are not useless - this is actually for viewing.
The cost of building such a team of cavalry was too high.
It was so high that Boss Zhu felt a little distressed.
However, with these thousand cavalry to support the facade, 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 one that rides cheap war horses, is equipped with muskets and handguns, and can run thousands of miles and turn like the wind.
I don’t feel bad if I’m disabled.
The kind that can be replenished at any time...
Um.
Waiting for the development of firearms such as revolvers that can fire continuously.
This low-cost cavalry can be established.
After all, if we have to fight the Russians in the prairie and the Western Regions in the future...
We still need to give full play to the advantages of the grassland herdsmen.
If you are grazing and fighting at the same time.
Such a cavalry army can fight directly to Moscow without the need for logistical supply lines...
Boss Zhu was riding a horse, holding a telescope and looking at the Golden Castle and Ganzhou City not far away.
Napoleon admired from the side: "It's a very good fortress, taking into account the zigzag structure of the firepower. If it were in the past, it would be an almost impossible task to conquer such a fortress without half a year to a year of preparation."
"But times have changed now."
Of course Zhu Daohua knew.
This kind of bastion-like fortress is quite difficult to attack using traditional methods.
But now, this kind of fortress cannot resist the Ming army.
"The only problem is...if we break Ganzhou City too quickly, Qianlong won't run away, right?"
"You shouldn't be...that cowardly, right?"
Napoleon said uncertainly.
"The best thing is to make it impossible for him to leave even if he wants to. Has the staff department come up with a plan on how to control the main channel of the Yangtze River?"
Zhu Daohua put down the telescope in his hand and asked.
Napoleon shook his head and said: "The Qing government obviously knows the importance of the Yangtze River, and they are fully prepared."
"The defense system of Jiangyin Fortress, Taipingzhou Fortress, Zhenjiang Fortress, and Jiangning City itself are the four checkpoints that our army must pass through if it wants to enter the Yangtze River from the Yangtze River Estuary. Without the support of the army, it will be difficult for the navy to break through these four checkpoints. The blockade of a fortress and fort entered the inland waterway of the Yangtze River."
In fact, the artillery equipped on the forts of the Qing army were all very old red cannons.
The Qing court called it the General Cannon.
It is a very heavy front-loading smoothbore cannon.
Because of problems with the casting process.
In order to improve the success rate of cannon casting, the cannon barrel is extremely thick and the cannon body is extremely heavy.
But because it is installed on a fixed turret and shoots at the river.
Therefore, it can have a large caliber and also have good accuracy - because each cannon blocks a fixed area, the gun body basically does not move.
The gunner only needs to load, wait for the target to enter the predetermined area, and then fire and launch.
in this case.
Even this backward artillery.
It can also play a role in blocking the river surface.
In addition, the Qing army also set up obstacles such as iron cables in the Yangtze River to cooperate with the fort operations.
Therefore, in order to enter the Yangtze River from the Yangtze River Estuary, these four lines of defense must be broken.
If the army had not taken down these forts in advance.
The navy alone would probably have to suffer a lot of losses.
And if the Ming army has already advanced to Jiangsu and is about to attack these four fortress artillery groups.
Qianlong had already left early.
This is also the reason why Qianlong dared to put his career 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 Navy.
Then Qianlong would have no worries about retreating.
"Can I enter the Yangtze River system from the Pearl River?"
Zhu Daohua turned his head and wrote to Tao Biquan, the military advisor next to him.
"Yes, there are, but they are not suitable for large ships. The Ling Canal connecting the Pearl River and the Xiang River is too narrow to pass warships. Why not build warships in Changsha and compete with the Qing Tartars for the Yangtze River?"
"No rush, no rush. The railway from Nanxiong Prefecture to Nan'an Fucheng is only more than sixty miles long. With enough manpower... a temporary railway can be built in three months! By then, the railway will be built Just transport the armored ship to Nan'an Prefecture and assemble it!"
Of course, ironclad ships were developed, but they were not big.
It would be too mini if placed at sea.
But it is just right to put it on the river transport and fight in the river.
A few armored ships can crush the Qing Dynasty's Yangtze River Navy.
By the time.
The four fortresses that Qianlong painstakingly managed.
It became a pile of scrap metal.
What is dimensionality reduction attack...
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.

My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
