After setting up a stable camp on the banks of the river, Xu Changqing did not rashly enter the Yangzhou direction, but instead ordered the troops to make time to adjust on the spot and adapt to the climate environment here as soon as possible.

On the other hand, a large number of people were sent to investigate the detailed enemy situation at night, while constantly testing the bottom line of the Qing army.

The next afternoon, the Model Army's night was not collected and went deep into the river bank thirty miles away, and various detailed information was constantly transmitted back.

It is similar to what was expected, whether it is the real Manchu ranger or the Han army flag servants who do not collect at night, they are more cautious.

When the model army is not taken at night, they are mostly driven away. Only when the model army that goes deep into their core areas does not take at night will they hunt. Overall, they maintain a relatively restrained attitude, and do not just live to the death.

But it stepped up its offensive against Yangzhou.

In the evening, news came from Yangzhou that the North City Gate was broken. Fortunately, Shi Kefa led the team to fight for his life. This was to regain the North Gate and maintain the integrity of Yangzhou City.

The night is getting deeper.

The model army camp by the riverside, and Xu Changqing's tent was still transparent.

But it was quite quiet, except for the waves of the river not far away that made surging sounds, there was no other noise.

Xu Changqing held a cigarette puff in his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked at the huge map, and said nothing for a long time.

At this time, the arrangement, strength and night confiscation of the Han army flag troops have almost been sorted out.

Leading by Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Bai Guangen, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Shi Tingzhu, Ma Guangyuan, Liu Liangzuo and other masters, there are nearly 30 units of all sizes, and the total force is nearly 500,000.

This is just a conservative estimate.

After all, the force cannot be accurately calculated at this time.

All kinds of slaves, as long as they take weapons, they will be war soldiers. Even if they are just cannon fodder soldiers like ants, there will be people who will wash away the sand.

Moreover, Xu Changqing knew very well that most of these masters of the Han military flag must have held back and had their own trump cards.

To put it in a bad way, it is extremely realistic.

Over the past few years, these masters of the Han military flag have already washed away the sand.

In the past, those loyal people, heroes, rash men, second-rate men, and bastards in the Nine-side System of the Ming Dynasty had almost been washed away.

Now, anyone who can occupy the position of a small master of the Han army flag will definitely be the best among the people!

Don't worry about how he got on top.

Whether it is selling teammates, butts, or wives and children, as long as you are "in the immortal class" at this time, no one is a good person.

This means that the Model Army is likely to face severe tests of a "man-sea offensive" in this battle.

These are just slaves from various Han military flags.

At this time, the main force of the true Manchus of Dorgon, Dodo, and Jirgalang were about 30,000 people, and was stuck in the Guazhou line not far southwest of the Model Army, firmly blocking the entrance of the Grand Canal.

In addition, in Yancheng, there are still Zhen Manchus, who are more than 10,000 yuan, besieging Wang Pu, Wang Tingchen, Liu Zhaoji and others.

But this true Manchu is not its main force.

The secret report that Xu Changqing received a few days ago was that when they passed through Daming Prefecture, there were about 50,000 people.

This means that there are still about 40,000 main forces in the True Manchu, who are not sure where they are hiding.

Even if the impurities were discarded, the number of veteran soldiers that the Qing army had at this time was probably more than 200,000.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a devoting power to the whole country!

At this time, the Qing army's intention was extremely obvious, which was to lead the model army to Yangzhou city!

This is almost an open conspiracy, just to see if Xu Changqing is going to penetrate it.

"call."

After staring at the arrangement of Wu Sangui and other Han military flags on the map, Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a long breath of turbid air, and then looked at the south bank of the Yangtze River, but soon after, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.

At this point, Xu Changqing could understand that the Qing army must have reached an agreement with some people in Nanjing.

But such a secret transaction,

Even the Model Army's secret reporting system is difficult to capture.

Even if it is captured and obtained the exact evidence, it is difficult to really detonate it in this period.

It’s like facing a couple having an affair, but the family is facing difficulties. You pretend that you don’t know, and the matter can still be maintained in terms of face, and the couple will overcome difficulties together.

But if you have to break up, you have to divide it into black and white...

Then the family will fall apart in an instant.

Xu Changqing was no longer a simple boy who could not tolerate sand in his eyes, so he naturally understood how to choose.

Maintaining superficial face, at least, can allow Nanjing to do something and ask for some food and supplies.

But once he broke up, Xu Changqing was afraid that he would be completely confirmed as a "traitor" and a "disruptive bandit". Even if it was the political work of the model army, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no chaos.

Thinking of this, Xu Changqing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Is it funny?

Very funny.

Is it ridiculous?

It's really ridiculous, too.

People who really want to do things and want to change things in a practical way have to take such risks, and there is almost no way out.

On the contrary, if you do nothing and just talk and steal food, you are standing on the commanding heights of victory. It seems that everything you do is right and you are invincible!

At this time, Zhang Baozhu came to the tent with a bowl of millet porridge. Looking at Xu Changqing's tired appearance, biting her tender red lips and feeling distressed: "Changqing, drink some porridge..."

She has been by Xu Changqing these days, and she knows more than anyone else about how much Xu Changqing has endured.

Looking at Jin Chengcheng's millet porridge without any seasonings, Xu Changqing's mood also soothed a little. He called his personal soldiers to open the tent door, smelled smoke from inside, and said to Zhang Baozhu with a smile: "Baozhu, how about it? Are you a little scared? It's too late for you to leave now. Otherwise, if you continue to follow me, you may be a place that will never be restored."

“…”

Zhang Baozhu gave Xu Changqing a angrily glance: "I still have a lot of thoughts, which means you are fine. I doubt how your heart grows. At this time, you still have this mood..."

After scolding Xu Changqing for a few words, her pretty face couldn't help but become solemn, and she said carefully: "Changqing, have you thought about it? You already know that this is a pocket, a big pocket that will never be restored. Do you still have to get into it..."

Xu Changqing smiled and half lying on his tiger-skin throne, looking at the lonely starry sky outside the tent: "People say they don't hit the south wall and don't look back. Am I? Even if they hit the south wall, I won't look back!"

As he said that, Xu Changqing also looked at Zhang Baozhu's beautiful eyes very seriously: "Baozhu, I'm not joking with you, but I'm telling you very seriously. Now, it's better to leave. I'll send someone to send you to Nanjing privately. I'll definitely not blame you. At this point, I know your depth, you know my strengths and weaknesses, and who doesn't know who? Besides, even if I lose this time, I don't have to lie down. With the foundation of Haicheng, I still have the possibility of making a comeback. But, spend more time."

“…”

Zhang Baozhu was very moved, but when she heard Xu Changqing's dirty words, her pretty face turned red with anger.

After hearing Xu Changqing say it, she couldn't help but stomp her feet and said, "Xu Changqing, I, Zhang Baozhu, is not as despicable as you think, and may not be as weak as you think! Haven't you always wanted to get me? If, if you win this time, I will... satisfy you! Do whatever you want..."

"Ai?"

Xu Changqing immediately widened his eyes and began to show an indescribable fighting spirit all over his body: "Baozhu, is this true?"

Zhang Baozhu looked at Xu Changqing with a look of pig, and was both angry and funny, and spat: "What I, Zhang Baozhu, said, always spitting and nailing!"

Xu Changqing couldn't help laughing and hugged Zhang Baozhu in his arms: "Baozhu, I originally had only five points to win, but with your promise, I have at least nine points!"

“…”

...

Early the next morning, the model army began to set off the camp and officially marched into the Yangzhou direction.

Soon, the huge camp turned into a huge construction site, and then turned into a large red beast with a uniform size of 100,000 people.

It’s not that Xu Changqing doesn’t want to walk the Grand Canal. The Grand Canal channel in Guazhou is relatively spacious and can bloom the huge fleet of the Model Army.

But at this time, the Qing army also had hot air balloon troops.

This is like a Damoris sword, always hanging over Xu Changqing's forehead, forcing Xu Changqing to be cautious and cautious.

If you really count it, this is not a bad thing.

In the past and present life, all the way, Xu Changqing understood very well that "there are gods three feet above his head." It is better for people to have a certain sense of awe when they are alive.

When it’s time to be rampant, be rampant!

When it is time to be free, you must be free!

However, when you should be dependent, when you should pretend to be a grandson, and when you should take a step back, you must spread your body!

The movements of the model army quickly attracted the attention of the Qing army.

Soon, a smog of smoke and dust flew away in the distance, and countless Qing army whistle cavalry rushed over.

Dorgon and others also quickly got the news and came to check it out quickly.

"Haha. Xu Changqing's miscellaneous scattered thing, he actually set off the camp. He really dared to come to Yangzhou! Hahahahahahahaha..."

Duoduo seemed to have won the lottery, his face flushed with excitement, and he kept waving his fists hard.

Jirgalang, Ajige and others were also full of excitement.

Who would have thought that Xu Changqing was so bold and even more rampant. He knew that this was a dead end, but he still dared to get in!

Dorgon's heart was also pounding "bang" constantly, but he was forced to hold on his face and did not reveal too many strange things.
