The reason why Yang Zhen has always had great enthusiasm for eliminating the heavy artillery team of the Han army in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty was not because the heavy artillery team of the Han army in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty was relatively weak and easy to fight.

It was because he knew very well that the heavy artillery team of the Han army under the Eight Banners of the Qing Barbarians was the most threatening force to him by the Qing Barbarians.

At the same time, it was also because he knew that the heavy artillery team of the Han army under the Eight Banners of the Qing army played a huge role in the entry of the Qing army in the original time and space.

If the Qing emperors had only Manchu and Mongolian cavalry, they might have been able to enter the pass again and again to rob the pass, but it would be useless if they entered, because they could not conquer the countless cities that occupied the pass, so they had to withdraw their troops in the end.

Without the heavy artillery teams belonging to the Han army of the Eight Banners, the strong cities on the western Liaoning corridor alone would be enough to become an insurmountable obstacle for the Qing army to be soldiers.

Therefore, among all the troops of the Qing barbarians, what Yang Zhen wanted to kill the most, or what he feared the most, was not the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry that the Qing barbarians claimed to be invincible, but the many heavy artillery cavalry in the Eight Banners Han Army.

Then, then

In particular, as far as the current situation of the Zhenjiang Fort guarding battle, if the heavy artillery team under the Qing Lu were destroyed, the Zhenjiang Fort guarding battle would be invincible.

From a long-term perspective, the heavy artillery team under the Qing Lu gradually destroyed, gradually weakened the strength of the Eight Banners of the Qing Lu in terms of firearms, and also helped to achieve the counterattack of the number and scale of the self-arm heavy artillery team.

By then, no matter what kind of bullshit Jurchen cavalry you are, or what is the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition that claims to be the best in the world in the bow and horse riding, there are a large number of heavy artillery, sky-rushing cannons and other sharp firearms in Jinhai Town.

In front of me, there are all things that are sent to death.

Yang Zhen is extremely looking forward to the arrival of that day.

But he also knew that if he wanted to achieve that step, he had to first destroy the heavy artillery teams under the Eight Banners Han Army.

As early as during the time of stationing in Songshan, the Battle of Woniugou eliminated Shi Tingzhu and his son and a large number of heavy artillery teams under the two white flags, and captured a large number of heavy artillery for the first time.

Later, the battle of Guanmashan at the beginning of Jinhai Town was moved to prevent the battle. Yang Zhen led his army to destroy the heavy artillery team of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army led by Li Bayan, and at the same time, he also eliminated the Zhenghong Banner Han Army commanded by Gongshun King Kong Youde.

Heavy artillery team.

Later, the results and harvests of this battle in Zhenjiang Fort were brought to life.

When he first entered Zhenjiang Fort City, almost all the heavy artillery of the Han army's heavy artillery team of the Qing Lu Inlaid Blue Banners were seized in a complete manner.

Even the heavy artillery gunners carefully selected from their Han army, the heavy artillery gunners also followed Jin Yukui to become part of Yang Zhen's heavy artillery battalion.

Then there was the artillery battle that just passed during the day.

At that time, Yang Zhen saw with his own eyes through the Qianli Miles that the large number of heavy artillery arranged by the Qing emperor on the river cannon formation, and in the end, only the seven artillery chariots on the outermost periphery were rescued and dragged back.

As for the rest, they were all destroyed or abandoned in the ice and snow on the Yajiang River.

Looking back on the past two years, in the past battles against the Qing emperors, the most satisfying result of Yang Zhen so far is actually these.

If this time, through the internal response of Shi Mingxiong and Song Guofu, the self-army can wipe out the so-called Huaishun King troops under Geng Zhongming's command in one fell swoop, then not only will the Zhenjiang Fort guard battle be in front of me, I will not have to worry about it anymore, but also in the future.

Within time, his heavy artillery team will also truly occupy an advantageous position on the battlefield in Liaodong, especially in the battle on the Eastern Front of the Qing Lu.

It was precisely because of this that when Yang Zhen heard Qiu Zhenhai say that there was an excellent opportunity to kill Geng Zhongming's troops, he immediately started to ask urgently.

Of course, when everyone present saw Yang Zhen reacting, they immediately sat upright and turned their eyes to Qiu Zhenhai, looking forward to the excellent opportunity Qiu Zhenhai said just now.

"If Shi Mingxiong and Song Guofu become our inner supporters, I am willing to lead the troops guarding the East City to attack the Qingying of Weihua Island. At that time, Shi Song and others will be our inner supporters. We will be able to successfully attack at night!"

"Did you ever think about what if our army attacks and the troops cannot fight quickly, and the troops in other camps of the Qing army supported Weihua Island after hearing the news?"

When Yang Zhen heard the excellent opportunity Qiu Zhenhai said, it turned out that it was just a surprise attack on Weihua Island with Shi Song and others as their internal responses. He felt a little uninterested, so he asked back.

However, what he didn't expect was that Qiu Zhenhai suddenly smiled after hearing what he said, and then seemed confident and said with confidence:

"I knew that the governor must have this question, so I had already thought of a way to deal with it. And I was in a dilemma for the soldiers and horses in other camps of the Qing Lu camp, and I dared not let go of supporting Weihua Island!"

"Oh? What's the way to deal with it?"

For Yang Zhen, if Geng Zhongming and Shi Song are willing to be their own support, then attacking Weihua Island is a way of playing that normal people can think of.

If the Qing army outside Zhenjiang Fort was not many soldiers or only Geng Zhongming's troops were in charge, then there was no doubt that attacking Weihua Island with lightning speed was of course the best choice.

However, the outskirts of Zhenjiang Fort are not the only Qing barbarian camp on Weihua Island on the east river of Chengdongjiang!

There are Qing barbarian camps in the west, south and north of the city. Once the battle to attack the Qing barbarians on Weihua Island begins, the Qing barbarians come to help from all directions, and they will be stealing chickens and losing rice.

Even if your troops successfully attack the Qingying Camp of Weihua Island by then, what's the use?

On the contrary, there is a great possibility that the Qing dynasty would be made by the inside and outside.

Besides, who knows whether Shi Song and the other two really want to surrender to themselves, or are they planning to surrender to their own plans?

Just as Yang Zhen was thinking, he saw Qiu Zhenhai grinning, picked up a tea bowl from the small table next to him, stood up, came to the brightly lit meeting room, and then squatted down.

Then he dipped his hand in tea, drew an oval on the flat floor tiles not far away in front of Yang Zhen, and then said to Yang Zhen with his face:

"This is Zhenjiang Castle City."

Then, he drew a small circle on the right and left side of the elliptical water mark, and then said: "This is Weihua Island, this is the Qinglu camp in the west of the city!"

After saying this, Qiu Zhenhai stood up, first looked around and began to whisper and whisper, then turned his gaze back to Yang Zhen and said:

"If Shi and Song surrender are true, and it is easy to judge whether it is true or false, and we are willing to be our internal supporters, then we can divide the troops into two groups, one is virtual and the other is real.

"All the way out of the east gate and heading east. When Shi Song and his two men launched a mutiny on Weihua Island, after opening the camp gate, our main force rushed over and fought quickly!"

"At the same time, the other route went west toward the west gate, launched a large-scale artillery attack, and attacked the western camp of the Qing Lu City. Of course, this is a false move, and the momentum can be created larger, restraining the remaining forces of the Qing Lu!

"We can arrange the battle out of the city at night. At that time, the night is dark and the weather is cold and the land is frozen. The Qing barbarians do not know the reality and the facts are true and will definitely not dare to act rashly.

"And the shelling and bluffing we launched in the west of the city can also cover up the fighting in the east of the city, and in this way, the Qing camp entrenched on the island of Weihua, especially Geng Zhongming's heavy artillery team,

There is a great chance of success!”

This was the first time Qiu Zhenhai had spoken and made suggestions in front of Yang Zhen in front of all the main generals of all the people in the city, and publicly expressed his overall proposals and plans for a war.

Of course, this is also a scene that Yang Zhen likes to hear.

Among Yang Zhen's many generals, Zu Keyong, Lu Pinqi, and Yuan Jin have all been on their own, including Xia Chengde and Xu Tianchong, so it is indeed time to consider others.

Thinking back to the fact that he arranged Zhang Chen and Qiu Zhenhai to serve as the commander-in-chief of the defense of Zhenjiang Fort Xicheng and Dongcheng respectively, it was for this reason.

Although Yang Zhen did not explicitly tell them at that time that he intended to let them serve as the general of the party in the near future, they both understood this arrangement as soon as they came out.

They knew that if their performance this time could reassure or even satisfy Yang Zhen, then in the near future, it would be a foregone conclusion that they would be promoted from the position of deputy general to the general of a certain line or place.

Because they all knew very well that after the success of the Zhenjiang Fort Guard Battle, Yang Zhen would not be able to stay in Zhenjiang Fort City for a long time.

After all, Jinhai Town is so big behind them that Yang Zhen has to go back and take charge of it himself.

In this case, who will the military and horse cities in Zhenjiang Fort City be handed over?

Regarding this issue, let alone Zhang Chen and Qiu Zhenhai were both concerned. Even the other generals who followed Yang Zhen to conquer Zhenjiang Castle City and then guarded the city for several months were concerned.

Of course, Yang Zhen’s previous arrangements have already made everyone see clearly. The person who guards Zhenjiang Fort in the future, or the next newly released general officer of the All-Road Coordinator, must come out from between Zhang Chen and Qiu Zhenhai.

It's.

So, will it be Zhang Chen or Qiu Zhenhai?

Everyone under Yang Zhen’s subordinates were speculating that Zhang Chen and Qiu Zhenhai, two parties who were almost on the surface, could not be indifferent.

Especially Qiu Zhenhai, after joining Yang Zhen, although he gave Yang Zhen a lot of ships and sailors, he has always been the main role of the captain of the maritime transportation brigade and is not good at military achievements.

It's much worse than a person like Zhang Chen.

Correspondingly, Qiu Zhenhai's reputation among Yang Zhen's army, especially among the main troops, was of course even worse than Zhang Chen.

However, Qiu Zhenhai had an advantage that Zhang Chen could not compare anyway, that is, his niece was Yang Zhen's second wife, and Mrs. Jin Haibo, who had already recognized and awarded by Emperor Chongzhen.

In other words, Yang Zhen is Qiu Zhenhai's niece.

This alone makes no one ignore Qiu Zhenhai's transcendent status in front of Yang Zhen or in Jinhai Town.

Qiu Zhenhai himself, of course, has a clear understanding of this.

For him, as long as he shows that he has the ability to stand alone in front of Yang Zhen, or more accurately, in front of other generals under Yang Zhen, the position he is looking forward to will most likely be

His is done.

That's why this time he was so proactive.

Similarly, when Qiu Zhenhai finished speaking his thoughts, Yang Zhen and the others who were discussing matters together turned their attention to Zhang Chen, all wanting to hear Zhang Chen’s opinion.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen simply said to Zhang Chen: "What do you think is the method that Deputy General Zhang and Deputy General Qiu said?"

At this time, Zhang Chen might also know what others meant. When he heard Yang Zhen’s question, he smiled slightly and looked at Yang Zhen and replied:

"Haha, with the view of humble duties, what Deputy General Qiu said is generally correct. If Geng Zhongming's command, the second general of Shi Song, really surrenders and is willing to be the support of our army, then this time is indeed an excellent opportunity. Everyone thought before

Attack, now the opportunity to attack is here, I am afraid-"

"What are you afraid of?"
