Yuejiang Tower.

Yang Feng stood in front of the Shenwei General's cannon and silently looked at the warship that almost covered the river.

The former governor of Yunyang and the current military affairs of the Hongguang Dynasty, Dong Yu, led an army that claimed to be 200,000, crossed Caishiji with the rising river water...

Of course, even if the river water does not rise, Qi Jin's 15,000 infantry soldiers could not stop them.

Two hundred thousand army!

Although the actual numbers are certainly not that many.

But since you dare to brag about 200,000, then there is definitely more than 100,000.

There was not even a river stop rope in Qi Jin. Caishiji was indeed a river defense fortress, but it was when there was a river stop rope.

It's important there, it's important here.

The downstream intercepting upstream river defense must have a river stop cable, and the small hill in Caishiji happens to be the most suitable for fixed river stop cables on the banks of the Yangtze River in this area. Of course, it also includes the floating bridge and water village, so that is the crucial point in this area. But Qi Jin has nothing, just 15,000 infantrymen with Franz, and he doesn't even have red barbarian cannons there. There is no other way to go east for a fleet of this level to go east.

And not only were they riding warships, but the 30,000 troops led by Chizhou soldiers and Taoist were also attacking Qi Jin's troops from land. In fact, he was now surrounded and it is hard to say whether he could run out. After all, his retreat had actually been cut off. Similarly, the Zhejiang Army in the south had also left Congshan Pass and joined the troops of Zhejiang Governor Liu Yuanlin to restrain Mao Guoqi and Chen Yan. The fifth town in Zhenjiang was also restrained. In addition, Zhu Wenda's troops were separated in Jiangbei. It can be said that all the support that Nanjing can obtain at present has been cut off.

The only two towns in the city are defending this city.

"His Majesty!"

A shout sounded behind him.

Yang Feng turned around and looked at His Majesty the Emperor in golden armor.

"I welcome your Majesty!"

He said.

His Majesty the Emperor walked up with great dignity, wearing gilded mountain armor, which looked a bit legacy of ancestors.

"You are calm!"

He said.

Then he walked directly to the cannon of the Shenwei General.

He gave this name, and it had been added to three at this time, and the other two were called the Tianwei General Cannon and the Anguo General Cannon...

This has been the case these days.

It is not that the Ming Dynasty was used to giving these names to these cannons. Europeans also gave their heavy cannons all the messy names, and even made a bunch of messy patterns for these cannons. Sometimes more than half of their working hours were used to make these patterns. Yang Feng was not interested, so the cannons he cast were originally naked, but they could not resist the hobbies of His Majesty the Emperor and those officers, so all three cannons were asked to carve all the shrewd patterns.

Because the God-Majesty General's cannon was used by His Majesty, he even carved a dragon and also carved words to record the process of His Majesty's use.

Especially the record.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor stood in front of his cannon again.

There is a war on the river.

The Yangtze River Navy, originally stationed in Pukou, had already retreated to Xinjiangkou before the enemy arrived. This was the real base of the navy. And under the protection of the giant cannons of Yuejiang Tower, although this navy is not weak, it is still too far from Dong Yu's army. Especially the latter has the upper advantage. In the battle on the Yangtze River, the upper reaches are almost crushing against the downstream. Even if the dozen large warships of the Yangtze River Navy can defeat any enemy warships in a single fight, it is useless...

They can set fire boats directly from the upstream.

So the current situation is that Dong Yu's fleet occupied the waterway in Jiangxinzhou, suppressing the Yangtze River Navy from the upstream and then protecting the landing at Dasheng Pass.

The Yangtze River Navy attacked the giant cannons within the coverage of the giant cannon and used naval guns to harass them.

The sound of cannons rumbling on the Yangtze River and the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere.

"Bring it!"

He stretched out his hand heroically.

The officer next to him quickly handed the ignition rod to him.

His Majesty the Emperor personally lay on the cannon to command and aim. It was not difficult to aim this thing, because Yang Feng had already made a shooting table, and just adjust it wherever he hit. Because the distance between the enemy warships was too far, the cannon was raised to the maximum elevation angle.

Then he ignited the fuse.

Accompanied by the flames of the muzzle, the shells roared out in the earth-shaking loud noise, and flew for more than ten seconds during the officer's timing, and finally landed on an enemy ship at least four thousand meters away. It was not that the emperor aimed at it, but that there were too many warships on the river. Although the shells were actually not very kinetic energy at such a distance, the twenty-four kilogram iron ball fell from a high altitude and was not that the pine boards of this inland warship could withstand it. The small oar-rolled battleship immediately began to sink.

"Long live!"

There are mountains around me shouting long live.

His Majesty the Emperor handed the ignition rod to Yang Feng with satisfaction...

"I and the Ming Dynasty will be left to you to protect me, repel the bandits, and share the wealth and honor with you!"

He said.

"I obey the order!"

Yang Feng quickly took over the ignition rod.

Then His Majesty the Emperor faced the soldiers.

"You and others obey Kaiyuan Bo, fight bravely to fight the enemy, and do not worry about wealth and honor. Emperor Gao of Taizu is above, and Yijun swears here that wealth and honor should be shared with all the soldiers!"

He said.

"Long live my emperor!"

Then Yang Feng quickly bowed and bowed with the soldiers.

His Majesty, who had pretended to be a slap, left again with a look of relief.

Yang Feng looked at His Majesty the Emperor and boarded his carriage again at the foot of the mountain, and went away under the protection of the guards led by Chang Yinxu...

"Master, the last general asks to lead the army to attack Dasheng Pass!"

Deng Zilong beside him saluted and said.

It is obvious that General Deng was inspired by His Majesty the Emperor and was full of ambitions.

"The old general is from Jiangxi. Yang doesn't want the old general to fight Sangzi. Just guard the city wall. You should leave this kind of attack to the cavalry!"

Yang Feng said.

"Uh, the coach can't trust Mr. Deng?"

Deng Zilong said angrily.

"right!"

Yang Feng answered very simply.

Deng Zilong's face turned red in an instant, then shook his arms angrily and left with his personal soldiers.

"Zhang Biao, send the first association to attack, there is no need to fight, just scare the enemy!"

Yang Feng said behind him.

"The last one will obey the order!"

Zhang Biao, the general of the First Cavalry Town, said quickly.

Then he followed him down and quickly got on his horse and headed straight for the imperial city to gather his subordinates to attack Dasheng Pass.

Dong Yu's army is landing in Dasheng Pass.

Attacking Nanjing from the upstream is where you land and then attack Nanjing City.

The first thing they faced was the outer city wall, from Dasheng Pass to the southeast, avoiding the complex water nets along the river, directly attacking the large and small De'anmen and then seizing the commanding heights of Yuhuatai, where they could use cannons to bombard Jubaomen. Therefore, Jubaomen built that exaggerated huge fortress, because once they attacked Nanjing from the upstream, it would be the inevitable core battlefield. The other Zhengyang gates were still a little short of it, so just let the cavalry attack and scare them.

For Yang Feng, the real importance of this war is not defense.

In fact, Dong Yu couldn't put together many people who could really fight. His subordinates were the five governors in the past, including Huguang, Yunyang, Nangan, Panyuan and Guangxi.

But these armies are not the weakest in the Ming army system, but they are definitely weaker than those on the Nine Territory.

The enemies they faced were different, that was, they dealt with the messy chieftain rebellions, refugees and the rebellion in various places, and most of them were infantry and extremely lacked cavalry. Even if there were, they were all southern horses, such as Guizhou Shuxi horses, which were not on the same level as the first cavalry town.

It is not difficult for Yang Feng to defeat them.

Give up the defense of the outer city wall, retract back to the inner city wall to defend, and when their morale is exhausted, they gather the cavalry and rush out, and they can be washed out in one breath, but this is not in line with his goal. This war needs to be made good use of it. With external pressure, he truly realizes the nationalization of his combat, and restores the martial spirit of the Zhu Yuanzhang era. There is an industrial foundation here. Zhu Yuanzhang left countless hereditary craftsmen here, with a population of hundreds of thousands of young and strong people at their fingertips.

Then organize it!

He has completed the commune here, and every yard is a commune. The young and strong commune in each commune are militias. However, there was no real military pressure before, and it was just a name. Now it is to turn them into militias in the true sense.

It turned into militia battalions, militia brigades, and even militia divisions.

Everyone entered a state of war, young and middle-aged men took up weapons, craftsmen made ammunition for them, and women cooked for them to rescue the wounded.

Even children can organize the transportation of supplies.

The beauties on the Qinhuai River became art troupes, those storytellers told them about heroes, and those who sang opera sang a one-sword club for them, making everyone in this city become a screw of the war machine under the pressure of the outside world, and turning the entire city into a war machine. In this process, everything he wanted could be quickly realized, a real management system, a real military industry, and even a medical system, a culture that he wanted to serve the real public.

All of this will happen.

In the end, the men, women, young and old in the city, like their ancestors, restored their former bravery and truly restored to their former combat nation...

This was how their ancestors were more than two hundred years ago.

More than two hundred years have gradually turned them into a group of weak chickens, but now is the beginning of their recovery.

The person who swept the world with their ancestors was still watching them, and as long as all this was done, the rest would be Yang Feng and they swept the world again.

A true fighting nation!

"Walk!"

Yang Feng said.

After saying that, he also walked down Lion Mountain, then boarded his chariot and carried the red flag.

Behind him were the constant beating war drums.

He kept moving forward in the long street like last time he assembled soldiers...

"Members of the communes came to Chaotian Palace to gather!"

He yelled in the chariot.
Chapter completed!
