These elite soldiers who have spent more than half a year in training look extremely powerful,

But they are still some way from the heyday of their branch.

He has only practiced for more than half a year now, and the battlefields he has experienced are only bandits attacking villages and hunting monsters, and he has not been baptized by hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield.

The evil spirit on them is not enough. For example, if the white horse cavalry reaches its peak state, the commander of the eighth rank can lead the cavalry to trample thousands of troops and attack and kill those generals of the ninth rank who are relatively ordinary in strength.

Those who can leave their names in the mighty history are called special arms, and their strength must be different from ordinary soldiers and horses.

This time, many elites were summoned for the purpose of swearing-in.

In the previous link, a lot of time was wasted, but these elite soldiers still maintained a neat formation, and no one moved. It is quite a scene in history that when Qi Jiguang was the commander-in-chief in the north, he ordered his troops to order on a rainy night, shocking others.

Many of the officials who followed Wang Jingqian to take part in the swearing-in were scholars who had just entered the center through Enke to serve as civil servants.

They had never seen such a formidable elite soldier with such strict military discipline, and they were secretly shocked.

However, the old people in Yangzhou, the officials who entered office earlier in Daxia, have long been accustomed to the powerful soldiers and horses of their own court, and they are not surprised. If these soldiers are not like this, they will feel strange.

"This is the real teacher of the king!"

Gao Yan secretly admired in his heart.

Zhang Juzheng, the secret document supervisor who has been with Wang Jing, has been entrusted with important tasks and has become a close minister of the emperor. He has a systematic understanding of the government and military affairs of the Great Xia Dynasty.

I also know that the Great Xia Dynasty has been invincible all these years, and the soldiers in the army must be strong soldiers.

But seeing with his own eyes now, Zhang Juzheng really matched the invincible Xia army in his impression with the powerful soldiers and horses in front of him.

His eyes were bright, and his mood suddenly became very good.

Zhang Juzheng didn't know much about military affairs, but he was a top official, so he still had vision.

It can be seen that after this elite soldier went south, the Ming army and Song army in the south joined forces, and it may be difficult to resist this sharp knife.Your side has a great chance of winning.

He is now the head of the secret literature supervisor of the Great Xia Dynasty, and has received the attention of the emperor.

The stronger the Great Xia Dynasty was, the better his future prospects would be.

A rising tide lifts all boats.So after Zhang Juzheng saw Daxia's strength, he was naturally in a good mood.

"General Wei, let's start swearing!"

This time, the main force of Wang Jing's Chinese army is mainly the generals who have just defected to the school.

The military positions on them were previously dispatched on a temporary basis. After training soldiers and suppressing bandits during this period, and after making contributions, they gradually gained real power.

At this time, among the surrounding generals and schools, Yu Wencheng belonged to the commander of the guards, Yang Dayan and Lin Renzhao were both capable, but not talented as commanders.

In order to cultivate new talents, it is also to give the other party a reputation.

Wang Jing directly ordered Wei Rui and asked him to come out to preside over the oath. Obviously, this time the main force of the Chinese army going south will be commanded by Wei Rui.

Wei Rui, Lu Xun, including Tan Daoji are all top generals in the world, and Xie Xuan and Chen Qingzhi are also geniuses in the world.

But only Wei Rui has few abilities and demeanor, and he is humble, broad-minded and tolerant.He was also the leader of the Nanliang faction, and no one objected to his position as the chief general of the Chinese army.

If Lu Xun was replaced as the main general, Xie Xuan and Tan Daoji would not say anything on the surface, but they would definitely be dissatisfied behind the scenes...

In history, when Wei Rui went to war, he often held a white-horned ruyi and rode a bamboo pole to command the whole army. Without armor, he looked like a weak man, but he was respected by countless soldiers.

However, on swearing-in and more important occasions, Wei Rui still had to put on armor and pretend that he was a general.

After Wei Rui listened to the order.

Taking the tiger talisman from Wang Jing's hand, he saluted deeply to Wang Jing, then turned around and came to the general's platform, where he held the oath ceremony.

The so-called swearing-in is to bless the victory of the war by offering sacrifices to the gods and the heavens, and to strengthen the confidence of the soldiers in the battle, it is often necessary to kill three animals.

Some generals and schools with a more ruthless personality would even find a few people in the army who did not obey the military order before sending troops, and kill people to sacrifice the flag before sending troops.

Of course, Wang Jing and Wei Rui are not such people.Just use three animals instead of sacrifices.

After the sacrifice.

Wei Rui drew out his long sword and swung it suddenly. The tens of thousands of elites who had been silent before made a loud roar.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

This earth-shattering roar aroused endless evil spirits, and the evil spirits flew into the air, forming the shape of a tiger and wolf in the void.Endless evil spirit, overwhelming, began to sweep towards the south.

After the swearing-in meeting was over, Wang Jing and his close ministers rode on the Yuhuo, and under the escort of tens of thousands of elites, they ran towards Taixing Mansion along the road they went south last time.

With these tens of thousands of elites, Wei Rui has an overview of the overall situation.

Among them, the Beifu Army has nearly [-] soldiers and horses, mainly Xie Xuan, and there are also Jiefan soldiers trained by Lu Xun.According to the previously discussed strategy, wait until the three camps start the war with the Ming army and the Song army.

Xie Xuan will take the Beifu army as the main force and lead an elite army straight into Gaochun, like a poisoned dagger, into the heart of the Ming army.

This task was quite difficult, so in addition to Xie Xuan, Wang Jing was going to give Xie Xuan two more helpers.

One of them is Lu Xun, who trained the Troubled Soldiers.Plus Xiao Moke who wants to make meritorious service but can obey orders honestly.

The three work together.Wang Jing felt safe.

The army was dispatched, mighty and mighty.

Behind Shen Yi, Bu Zhi, Li Shanchang and others watched the army leave, and the emperor personally marched. Naturally, they stayed in the capital, especially Shen Yi, who was only close to the peak of the seventh rank at a time when there were many famous officials of the ninth rank, and he was still far away from the eighth rank. There is half a step.

In terms of ability, it is far from being able to compare with Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Xie An and others.

His qualifications are too early, the time he has followed Wang Jing, and the degree of loyalty to Wang Jing are unmatched by others.

Only when he stays behind, can Wang Jing feel at ease on the front line.

Shen Yi at this time was to Wang Jing what Liu Muzhi was to Liu Yu in history, although it was not to the extent that Liu Yu would give up Guanzhong and retreat after Liu Mu's death.

But if something happened to him when Wang Jing was going on an expedition, Wang Jing would really be unsteady and divert part of his mind to the rear.

Except for the civil and military officials who watched the army leave.

Those spies hiding in the dark also began to rush the news, spreading the news that Wang Jing led the generals to leave Yangzhou and go to the front line to Jinling and Lin'an.

After Wang Jing vowed to go to war.

This crucial battle that swept across the southeast and determined the overlord of the southeast, and even the future lord of the south, has really begun.

……

Before Wang Jing crossed the river and rushed to Jiangyin.

The battalion army located at the key positions of the three major provinces has already taken action.

The first is the Jiangdong camp.

Murong Shaozong and Shi Wansui did not stay in Suzhou, but led their soldiers and horses to take the initiative to go south and set up defense lines in the dangerous places of Pingwang Mansion and Dianshan Lake.

The defense line here began to be built half a year ago.The purpose is to guard against Han Shizhong stationed in Jiaxing.

According to the strategy discussed by Wang Jing and Gao Yan, the soldiers and horses of the Jiangdong camp only need to hold this line of defense, so that the Song army cannot go north from here.

Fu Youde, who was in the camp in Zhenjiang, led a large army to the west and approached the Jurong camp. The scouts and cavalry on both sides in the wilderness fought each other like wild wolves, blocking each other's vision as much as possible.

Fu Youde and Xu Da have already started a tentative fight.

The two famous generals who had never fought against each other in history, at this time, they were also masters and started a contest.

But the two sides were just fighting on a small scale, not a big battle.

Only He Ruobi, Yang Kan and others who were camping in Lujiang, after receiving Wang Jing's order, took a boat and launched an extremely fierce attack on Dangtu.

In terms of naval forces, Daxia's navy is also invincible. Not long ago, it destroyed the Soochow navy and blocked the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, preventing the Ming army's navy from crossing Zhenjiang.

The navy of the Ming army has basically never experienced a war.

Whether it is the strength of the battleship or the navy, it is not as good as the Daxia Navy.

Boom!

The five-toothed battleship of the Great Xia Navy is like a ferocious monster lying on the water surface mountain. It runs rampant on the river. When encountering a warship of the Ming army, it first bombards it with kerosene bombs, and then uses clapsticks, bows and arrows at medium distances.Blast the enemy warships to pieces.

However, if it is hit by the five-toothed ship's stick, the sails and sides of the warship will basically be smashed to pieces, making it impossible to continue driving.

on the river.

More than a dozen five-toothed warships joined together to form a battle formation of the navy, frightening the warships of the Ming army from a distance, so that they did not dare to step forward rashly, and then there were the fast boats of the Great Xia Navy, carrying elite soldiers. The soldiers launched an attack on the defense line set up by the Ming army on the shore.

If you don't pull out the nail Dangtu.No matter how many soldiers and horses there are in the Lujiang camp, they dare not go east.

boom!
The sound of kerosene bombs bombarding the warship and the Ming army's water village continued to vibrate. A relatively large Ming army warship was blazing with flames and billowing with thick smoke, and it was about to sink.

There are also dozens of small ships of the Ming army that are on fire, and they are rushing towards the big five-fanged ship in the distance.

These flaming small boats are the Death Squadron of the Ming Army Navy. There are a lot of kerosene bombs on board. If they collide with the five-fanged ship, with the powerful defense of the five-fanged ship, they may be overturned.

"Command, stop the enemy!"

He Ruobi was commanding the navy on a large five-toothed ship, when he saw the small boat serving as a death squad, he immediately waved the command flag.

Immediately, more than a dozen warships rushed out.

These warships are connected by iron cables, criss-crossing back and forth, enclosing dozens of small boats like an iron net.Immediately afterwards.The boats hit the chains.

Boom!The boat exploded with a bang, and the hulls of more than a dozen warships connected by iron cables continued to tremble, and the interconnected iron cables were all broken abruptly.

The sky filled with fireworks soared into the sky, spreading in all directions, and a faint cloud of smoke enveloped most of the battlefield on the river.

The soldiers of the Ming army who served as death squads were smashed to pieces, and part of the sailors of the Great Xia Navy also fell into the river like dumplings amidst the earth-shattering roar.A small loss occurred.

Dazhai of the Ming Army in Dangtu.

Chang Yuchun's originally dark face became expressionless at this moment, his eyes shot out a cold light, and he stared closely at the fight on the river.

In the current situation, the Ming army is obviously at a disadvantage.

The battle on the river continued, but with the sinking of Ming army warships, the Ming army's situation became worse and worse.

If the navy of the Ming army was completely destroyed, then the soldiers and horses of the Lujiang camp in Daxia would have the courage to cross Dangtu and attack the key points around Jinling along the water, and win a big victory.

This is the most important defensive pass on the outskirts of Jinling. In the history of the world, when Chen Youliang attacked Jinling, he would come to this place. As long as he captured the Great Victory Pass, he would be able to come to Jinling.

In history, Zhu Yuanzhang let Kang Maocai use the tactic of feigning surrender, and only then did he win the battle of Longwan.But these can't hide the panic of the civil and military officials in Jinling City when Chen Youliang attacked Dasheng Pass.

"Xia Jun's navy is really sharp!"

After half a sound.

Only then did Chang Yuchun sigh secretly, let the guards wave the command flag, and began to direct the navy to retreat gradually.

Before the two armies fight, they must first test it out. Today they are just fighting with Xia Jun's navy for a tentative fight.

But the result of the trial made Chang Yuchun feel very bad.

The navy does not have an advantage, which means that the Ming army cannot take the initiative to attack. In the battle between the two sides, they can only guard against it.Lost initiative.

Xia Jun's navy did not pursue and fight fiercely.

Because He Ruobi and Yang Kan knew that the Ming army would not be easy to deal with with Chang Yuchun in command.

Even if the Xia army can gain some advantage, it is impossible to attack the opponent's navy in the first attack and attack until the entrance of the enemy's Dangtu camp.

In the case that neither side has dispatched generals above the seventh rank.

This battle can also be summed up as a tentative attack, but it is different from the trial of the Zhenjiang camp. He Ruobi's trial cost more than [-] people on his side alone.

The losses of the Ming army were not small, with seventeen warships sunk and more than four thousand soldiers killed in battle.

Big Xia wins a little.

After the fight was over, the two sides began to send their own boats to salvage their fallen soldiers on the river...

In the case of Dangtu, after the battle, the two sides sent messengers to quickly report to their own monarchs.

About half a day later.

In Jinling City, Zhu Yuanzhang received the battle reports from Dangtu and Jurong respectively.

"Daxia's navy is sharp, and Chang Yuchun lost a small defeat...He Ruobi, Yang Kan, Zhang Hao, Lu Meng...Chang Yuchun's opponents are all famous generals!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and couldn't see the emotion clearly on his face.

Zhu Biao frowned deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Father, we need to summon more craftsmen to speed up shipbuilding! With General Chang's ability, if he guards against death, he should be able to hold Dangtu, but if the warship loses too much Too many, our army can't attack, Xia Jun can go down the river..."

Li Wenzhong, acting as a staff officer, nodded repeatedly and said: "What the crown prince said is very true, but the direction of Jurong should not be careless. Wang Jing has already stationed hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangyin. If these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses join Fu Youde, Jurong will not It's dangerous!"

When Li Wenzhong mentioned the name Fu Youde.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had some changes in their eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was still calm, as if he didn't take Wang Jing's hundreds of thousands of troops seriously, but Zhu Biao's eyes were obviously complicated.

Fu Youde!He is very familiar with this name.

This is a famous general who made great contributions to his father in the original history, but it's a pity...
