The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 492 Crisis
As soldiers from the Qin Army poured into Jinling City in a steady stream, after a not too fierce battle, Jinling City fell into the hands of the Qin Army.

During the ensuing screening of prisoners, Luo Kedi, the guard general of Jinling disguised as an ordinary citizen, was identified by other soldiers of the Dashun Army and captured by the Qin Army.

So far, the entire Jinling City has completely fallen into the hands of the Qin army, and it took less than four days in total.

There were originally about 8 Dashun troops defending the city.

About 1 people were killed by the Qin army during the battle. Except for a very few who escaped, the rest were all captured.

If you don’t count the casualties of the Mongolian and Korean servants and the local armed forces attached to them during the first day of the siege, during the entire four-day siege, the total casualties of the Qin Army’s headquarters were less than 1000, of which three were killed. More than a hundred people.

This number is even lower than the total number of people killed in the battle between the Qin Army's firearms troops and the British mercenaries.

And look at the strength of both sides.The recovery of Jinling City was not unexpected.

Therefore, this result did not make Di Qing and the soldiers of the Qin army feel excited, but instead made them angry and dignified.

On the land of Ming Dynasty, an army of foreign races unexpectedly appeared, and it was a pure firearms army equipped with the same equipment as the Qin army. This incident itself was a signal.

This means that in today's chaotic situation in the world, another variable has been added.

Therefore, after the capture of Jinling City, Di Qing stabilized the hearts of the people and rearranged the city defenses, while Bai Jinxiu and the people from the Black Ice Terrace stepped up to interrogate Luo Kedi and the others.

In the past, everyone's competition for the world was a competition between the Han people, but now the Dashun Army has actually introduced a foreign army. This matter itself is very contemptuous and angry.

Therefore, the people of the Black Ice Terrace were not polite to Luo Kedi, and used all the means they could on him.

But there are very few real tough guys in this world, and Luo Kedi didn't last long before he confessed everything he knew.

According to the information confessed by Rock Enemy and the traces left by the British mercenaries, the Black Ice Terrace and the Qin Army dispatched at the same time to search for traces of the British mercenaries.

On the other hand, Di Qing collected the information

In short, quickly sent someone to report to Hu Zongxian and Jiang Chuan in the capital.

After Jinling City was conquered, it had a huge impact on the situation in the entire Jiangnan.

The large and small cities around Jinling City surrendered one after another, and some cities even killed the officials and guards sent by the Dashun Army, voluntarily declaring their recovery.

With the prestige of the restoration of Jinling City, half a month later, the entire South Zhili area, including the eastern part of Yuzhou, and even the northern part of Huguang, were all restored and became the sphere of influence of the Qin army.

The Dashun army was defeated for thousands of miles, retreating steadily, and surrendered to the Qin army every day.Moreover, various non-government village brave organizations have sprung up like mushrooms after the spring rain to expel the local Dashun Army forces.

To use the official language in the history books of later generations, the feudal conservative forces have revived one after another, and the peasant uprising army suffered a huge defeat.

It's just that the hat of the leader of the feudal conservative forces here is worn on Jiang Chuan's head.

Jiang Chuan was also shocked after receiving the report from Di Qing and Hu Zongxian.

Although he has always regarded the British as his greatest enemy, he is currently not ready to go to war with the British.

It's a pity that heaven often fails to fulfill people's wishes. I didn't expect to match up with the British so quickly.

Although judging from subsequent news and the situation of the battlefield at that time, the enemy this time was British mercenaries, and they did not have the idea of ​​fighting a tough battle.

The two sides fought an encounter. Although the opponent suffered more damage than his own, he was still surprised by the British equipment and combat level.

If it weren't for the sharper artillery fire of our own side, the result of this battle would not be so optimistic.

It can be seen from behind this incident that Britain has already attempted to get involved in this continent.

The appearance of this mercenary army is just the beginning.

Or to be precise, it was just a trial.

If you want to get yourself more preparation time, then this time you must beat the British thoroughly so that they dare not covet them again in a short time.

Jiang Chuan quickly wrote back to Hu Zongxian and Di Qing, telling them that on the one hand, they must continue to strengthen the offensive against the Dashun Army and speed up the recovery of Jiangnan and the Central Plains.

On the other hand, it is necessary to assist the Black Ice Platform to step up the search for the trace of the British mercenary, and after finding it, send troops to stick to the opponent as soon as possible.

If possible, be sure to surround the opponent.

On the other hand, Jiang Chuan ordered Deng Shichang, the admiral of the navy, to take the main force of the navy to go south to the vicinity of Quanzhou Port.

This British mercenary landed from the sea, so there must be a fleet carrying them at sea, and this fleet is most likely from the British Navy.

If the army alone is used to siege, these British people are very likely to escape to the sea.

At that time, without the help of the Navy, the Army has no way to keep them.

On the other hand, Jiang Chuan ordered the new army to speed up the training progress.

The time he originally left for the new army was one year, but now it seems that there is no more than one year.

Even if the British are hurt this time, they will not dare to invade this continent again in a short time.

But a powerful empire is definitely not reconciled to being destroyed in a chaotic continent, and will definitely come to take revenge.

If the British come again, whether it is in terms of military strength or weaponry, it will definitely exceed this time, so Jiang Chuan must plan ahead and be prepared to deal with the large-scale invasion of the British.

The New First Army is still in the period of recruit training, and has not formed combat effectiveness at all.

If you pull out to fight at this time, it will definitely not be worth the loss.

For Jiang Chuan, and for the entire Qin army, the New First Army is a test field for future military innovations, which must be carefully cultivated, not casually pulled out as cannon fodder.

At present, in addition to the new first army, the firearms troops of the Qin Army, the other two firearms troops are Di Qing's 1 people and Baishan's 5000 people.

However, the two firearms units under Di Qing and Bai Shan have not yet started to adapt.

All tactics and skills suitable for warfare in the age of firearms have not been trained. Therefore, although they are fire and gas troops in name, their tactical thinking and training level are basically equivalent to those of the army in the period of alternating cold and hot weapons.

This level is obviously far from the level of the most advanced troops in the world. This time the results of the encounter with the British mercenaries proved this point.

The training of troops cannot be accomplished overnight, so after careful consideration, Jiang Chuan decided to strengthen the firepower of the artillery troops of the Qin Army, and use the advantages of artillery to make up for the lack of training level and tactics.
