Zhu Hongyu squinted his eyes, looked at the performance of the green battalion on the battlefield anyway, and nodded in satisfaction.

To be honest, if it weren't for the Qing court's supervisory team killing the green battalion soldiers today, it would be too ruthless.

Those green battalion soldiers who were forced had no choice, either surrendered to the Ming army, or died.

He, Zhu Hongyu, did not dare to use those green camp soldiers who surrendered!

Well, Zhu Hongyu is willing to present the honorary title of Friend of Daming to my dear Lu Wenji, Lu Zongbing.

However, the scene on the battlefield today can be regarded as helping Zhu Hongyu open up the situation!

Let him realize that it was because he was out of shape before!

Due to the high requirements of the Ming army on the quality of its soldiers, the expansion of the Ming army was very slow.

Because the Ming army's army building criterion is that the soldiers are good and not too many!

Therefore, when the Ming army is using troops everywhere, the overall strength of the Ming army appears to be stretched.

Originally, Zhu Hongyu's idea was to organize a large-scale militia training and prepare for the reserve service plan.

On the one hand, it was able to use the power of local landlords and gentry to resist the Qing Dynasty, and to allow the locality to have a certain amount of self-protection power in the face of the invading Qing army.

On the other hand, it is also possible to conduct simple exercises on young and strong men concentrated in rural towns, so that they can master certain military skills.

To ensure that the Ming army has a certain amount of reserve soldiers available, and when the force is tense, reserve soldiers can be recruited to make up for the vacancies.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Zhu Hongyu's thinking, and the effect must be there!
However, whether it is regiment training or militia, it takes a long time to practice before they can form combat effectiveness.

In addition, they are not professional soldiers and have limited training time every day, so this timeline will be very long.

To put it bluntly, this is a long-term investment, and don't expect it to pay off in the short term.

However, now Zhu Hongyu has another idea!

It will be very slow to train troops by yourself, but what if you use prisoners of war directly?
For example, after a simple reorganization of the captured green camp of the Qing army, they were directly pulled onto the battlefield to fight.

To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Green Battalion is not bad!

After all, the Qing army used such a group of gadgets to conquer the entire Central Plains.

Even after the Eight Banners soldiers were completely rotten, they used the green battalion to pacify San Francisco.

History has proved that as long as the food and salaries are sufficient, and the supervising team kills a little harder, the combat effectiveness of these green battalion soldiers is not bad.

On today's battlefield, the performance of those green battalion soldiers anyway, isn't it very good?

Under the cover of the firepower of one's own artillery, under the pressure of the dark guns of the supervisory team, under the stimulation of white silver coins...

The fighting power of those green battalion soldiers is still very fierce!

During the whole process, they were fighting against the green battalion of the Qing army on the opposite side!

In any case, these green battalion soldiers have experienced the troubled times of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they are all veterans with rich war experience!

Naturally, the fighting power will not be bad!

Even if it was against Lu Wenji's personal supervising team, Zhu Hongyu reckoned that they would dare to go up and try.

The roar of the naval guns of the Ming army really boosted morale!
……

Zhu Hongyu's estimate was correct, these Green Battalion soldiers met Lu Wenji's supervising team immediately after killing through the Qing Army's Green Battalion.

Inspired by the heavy artillery, these green battalion soldiers remembered how the Tartars slaughtered them just now.

Stimulated by hatred, their blood surged, and they strode forward to kill.

The two sides collided even if they collided together!
Jia Qijin shouted to kill, clenched the spear in his hand, roared, and stabbed the heavily armored soldiers in front of him.

With a click, the tip of the spear in his hand was cut off, and the heavy armored soldier rushed forward, and the big knife in his hand slashed at Jia Qijin's head.

Jia Qijin retreated subconsciously, but with his rich experience in warfare, he still stabbed the heavily armored soldier in the face with the long spear in his hand.

It is true that the heavy armored soldiers are not afraid of swords and guns because they wear heavy armor.

But there was no protection on his face.

If he was stabbed this time, even if he was only stabbed in the cheek by a long spear without a tip, it would be fatal!

The heavy armored soldier retreated subconsciously with his knife, and put on a defensive posture.

Dangdang!
The sounds of sword clashes sounded one after another, and a few green battalion soldiers rushed forward, facing Lu Wenji's heavy armored soldiers with a burst of sword strikes.

One after another, the sound of shouting and killing resounded throughout the battlefield!
The momentum is strong, but the killing effect is very little. The heavy armor on this heavy armored soldier is not a decoration.

A layer of cotton armor and a layer of chain mail are draped around the body, not to mention invulnerable, but they are similar.

Relying on his heavy armor, this heavy armored soldier slashed and killed wantonly among the crowd.

In the spurt of blood, a green battalion soldier fell to the ground and died miserably!

It wasn't until several green battalion soldiers using spears and big guns came up and stabbed out the spears in their own hands that they forced the heavy armored soldier back.

A big gun that was only used to deal with cavalry stabbed with all its strength, and the tip of the big gun made of wrought iron pierced the person's body, and the inertia was quite terrifying.

With the joint efforts of several people, this heavy armored soldier of Lu Wenji was forced to retreat again and again!

Qi and blood surged up crazily, and his face was extremely red.

Afterwards, more green battalion soldiers rushed up anyway, and amidst the shouts of killing, this Lu Wenji's heavy armored soldier stepped on the ground while retreating, and let out a scream.

Before he could struggle to get up, in the next moment, several spears touched his vitals, jamming his limbs.

The rest of the green battalion soldiers swarmed up anyway, and the heavy armor on this heavy armored soldier was stripped off.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Wenji's personal soldiers, without the protection of heavy armor, were hacked to pieces by random knives.

Such a scene is constantly staged on the battlefield!
The Ming army's exploits were like a tide, and from time to time on the battlefield, green battalion soldiers of the Qing army knelt down and surrendered.

Or they were forced too hard by the supervisory team, and they simply gritted their teeth and cut their braids. Anyway, before the battle, it was a blow to the supervisory team behind them.

The banners of the Ming army continued to move forward, and the flags of the Ming Dynasty began to fly over the fortifications.

A fort along the river of the Qing army was completely bulldozed by the naval guns of the Ming army, the Qing flag was lowered, and the Ming flag was flying high above the fortress.

Zhu Hongyu withdrew his gaze and turned his attention from the offensive and defensive battles along the beach to the Ming army's attack on the Qing army's fortifications in the heart of the river.

Covered by the saturated firepower of the Ming army's naval guns, the Qing army blasted several gaps in the embankment built in the Yangtze River.

The river swept in and poured backwards, and the gap continued to widen.

The landing troops of the Ming army also successfully cut off the deep piles used by the Qing army to fix the iron chains blocking the river.

The offensive path of the Ming army fleet has finally been completely opened!
The huge fleet of the Ming army rushed into the Yangtze River, and the fire support it could provide to the landing troops was also more powerful.

The defense line deployed by the Qing army at the mouth of the Yangtze River began to gradually collapse under the attack of the Ming army!

Defeat is only a matter of time!

……

"Eight hundred miles urgently!"

"Eight hundred miles urgently!"

"The blockade at the mouth of the Yangtze River failed, and the Ming thief navy entered along the Yangtze River!"

"Jiangyin is urgent, Zhenjiang is urgent, Songjiang Mansion is urgent..."

The news of the defeat of the Qing army's blockade at the Yangtze River Estuary was sent into Jiangning at a speed of [-] miles.

What followed was a series of urgent military reports from the prefectures along the Yangtze River.

In an instant, Jiang Ning shook.

Immediately, Jiangnan shook!
Lang Tingzuo kept paced in the flower hall of the Governor's Mansion, his face was full of unresolved worries and deep disbelief.

"Failed?!"

"How did you lose?!"

"What happened to the front line, how could it be defeated so quickly?"
