The Yangtze River fights from morning to sunset.

In this battle, the Zhenjiang Navy of the Qing Dynasty was wiped out, and no enemy ship was missing.

But the Xinming Navy also lost three warships and injured ten. Almost none of them were spared except the Zhiyuan ship.

The artillery on the Jiangan also damaged nearly 200 artillery pieces.

Countless soldiers were killed and injured in battle.

"Don't worry, there will be bread, but I don't know what bread is? Ah, that is, pancakes and green onions will have everything.

The cannon is damaged, I won't give it to you again.

The warship has sunk, I will rebuild it for you in Weihai Military Port.

Don’t be afraid of casualties. I will supplement you as much as you lose. I will definitely not be like the old army, if you lose, or simply revoke the number."

Such a promise made all the soldiers completely relieved.

If the general has no soldiers, then nothing is left. Therefore, in the old army, the generals tried their best to preserve their strength, fearing that they would become the commander of the bare hands.

But now there is no need to worry about these things, so what else can you be afraid of?

If there is a war, you must rush to get promoted before you can get military achievements?

"Prince, why don't you remove all the artillery on the Zhiyuan ship and add it to other warships?" Yu Minzhong suggested.

Wang Xuejun glared: "A warship without weapons is still a warship?"

"Then why not drive the Zhiyuan ship back to Yangzhou and put it in the West Lake to provide for it."

"A warship that does not go out to sea is still a warship?"

Yu Minzhong was almost crying: "But it's like this every time. This Zhiyuan has become my heart disease. I'm afraid that anyone will not be able to take care of him and get hurt. I can't keep him in my arms every time I fight."

Now for Yu Minzhong, the Zhiyuan Ship is no longer his strength, but his burden and his heart is sick.

"Then I don't care. As long as each battle is over, I find that even if the Zhiyuan ship has a patent leather off, I will ask you."

Yu Minzhong knelt down to the Zhiyuan ship and kowtowed repeatedly: "My ancestor, please take care of yourself, you must be healthy and live a long life."

Such a move immediately attracted unanimous laughter.

"There was a good start. In this battle, the Qing Dynasty Yangtze River Navy was wiped out in one battle. From then on, the Yangtze River was no longer a natural barrier for us, but a thoroughfare."

Yu Minzhong said: "In this way, my fleet can directly support the attack on Zhenjiang."

Yes, the fleet's more than 200 large-caliber cannons will put a huge blow to Zhenjiang and relieve the pressure of the army's attack.

Yan Yingyuan, the commander of the 50,000-man team, looked impatient: "I wish I could lead the troops to Zhenjiang City now, kill Jiannu, and avenge more than 60,000 Jiangyin elders."

"Okay, now I announce that the entire army will repair for three days and make up for the lost equipment. Attack Zhenjiang in three days."

So the entire army started moving again.

Batches of brand new cannons were replenished, and batches of gunpowder shells were transported.

The civilian ships preparing to cross the river were collected. The Xinming army was replenishing their strength and preparing to attack Zhenjiang.

Boluo really didn't expect that this battle would be backfired.

There must be losses, and at this point, Boluo is mentally prepared.

But I didn't expect the loss to be so great. I didn't expect the damage to the enemy navy was so small.

He paid for all the navy's belongings, but only received the loss of the enemy's three-bowed warships.

Not only did the navy sink, but also the cannons and people who depended on when defending the city.

And the more important thing is that in this battle, everyone saw the strength of the enemy artillery.

The shocking scene of thousands of cannons fired at once scared all the Han generals.

Sitting in the lobby of the yamen, looking at a group of dejected generals: "Don't be discouraged, this is just a small frustration. Our Zhenjiang is the key to the Yangtze River, the gateway to Nanjing, and the sharp knife we ​​inserted in the throat of Yangzhou.

Because we were going to pacify the south of the Yangtze River, we didn’t have the energy to wipe out Wang Xuejun in Yangzhou. But this time they came to us, and I was just asking for it.”

Then we stood up and walked past the general one by one: "We took this opportunity to wait for our hard work under this fortress. We attacked Wang Xuejun with great difficulty, and then we took advantage of the opportunity to enter Yangzhou.

Don’t the world always say that 100,000 riders and cranes are coming to Yangzhou? At that time, I brought you all and 100,000 riders to Yangzhou. Wouldn’t it be even more heroic?”

After saying this, everyone felt a little bit more motivated. Especially those generals of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were even more screaming and eager to try.

In the hearts of the Qing Dynasty, when facing Xinming, they never called themselves the little emperor, but always regarded Wang Xuejun as the right person.

In their eyes, Xinming belongs to Wang Xuejun.

As long as Wang Xuejun is defeated here, the so-called little emperor can only open the door and surrender obediently.

"Now I announce."

All the generals stood up and obeyed the orders.

"Zhenjiang Prefecture."

The prefect of Zhenjiang quickly stood forward.

"Immediately register carefully the young and strong in the city and strictly monitor and monitor it. In order to prevent the enemy from siegeing the city, they will cause trouble and respond."

The prefect immediately respected the order.

This must be done.

But I dare not drive them to the city to help defend the city. The lessons from the ancient city were still not far away, so who dares to believe those people anymore?

I guess those people are eager to go to the city and then they can help him with the inside and outside. At that time, they will not be able to find the grave even if they cry.

"Immediately drive all the elderly, weak, women and children in the city out of the city to avoid consuming the supplies in the city."

The prefect grinned, but he could only do so.

"Immediately collect all shop materials and classify them. If there is any private storage, kill them without any scruples."

I was willing to execute this, so the prefect immediately agreed readily and couldn't wait to execute it.

"Immediately, the remaining navy at Zhenjiang Wharf is withdrawn into the city.

The Han army immediately took charge of the whole country in different parts and strictly guarded the enemy.

The matter of defending the city was left to the Zhang brothers to be fully responsible.

I can tell you, if the city is lost, I will kill you all the small families in Nanjing. If the city is defended, I will call the Regent and give me merits and reward merits."

When Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu heard that the prince valued him so much, he quickly bowed: "Don't worry, Prince, Zhenjiang is in the hands of our brothers, and we must ensure that everything is foolproof."

"Five thousand iron cavalry, trapped in the city, is definitely a waste. The Eight Banners Warriors, leave two thousand to supervise the battle in the city, and the remaining three thousand will be led by the king himself and ambushed out of the city. Take the time to rest immediately and attack the enemy at any time."

This is the real way to arrange troops.

Taking advantage of the Han army's characteristics of being good at guarding the city.

Use cavalry to attack powerfully, and always threaten the enemy's backs outside the city. In this way, cooperation between inside and outside is not to defend the dead, but to defend alive. Zhenjiang must be as solid as a god.

He is worthy of being one of the three kings of the early Qing Dynasty, and his troops were arranged in an orderly manner.

The arrangements for defending the city are tight and compact.

Boluo wanted Wang Xuejun to be bleeding from the city of Zhenjiang.

When his strength and morale are exhausted under Zhenjiang City, he can enter the empty Yangzhou in one fell swoop and then recover Jiangbei and Shandong.
