Wu Zheng interrupted: "I am also blaming myself for not making it clear. Your family members..., including the families of the navy soldiers, are already in Songjiang Prefecture and have been taken in and placed by me. Don't worry."

Jiang Quanyi was overjoyed and immediately bowed to Wu Zheng and said, "I thanked the Duke for his great kindness for you for your brothers... I will tell you now."

As he said that, he turned around and ran away.

Wu Zheng slowly turned to Wang Yilin who had been silent, "Brother Yilin, what are your arrangements?"

Wang Yilin said in embarrassment: "Wu Zheng, I have to go back... You know, I am different from Jiang Quanyi..."

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "I understand, you can rest assured, I won't force you. You can go back to the capital at any time."

Only then did Wang Yilin feel happy, "That's good, if I had known my brother was an open-minded person..."

Wu Zheng said with a serious expression: "There is something that I'm afraid Brother Yilin doesn't know. Duke Xingguo was seriously injured when he fought with the Qing army before... Fortunately, his life was saved and he was recuperating in the capital at this time."

Wang Yilin was shocked, "Uncle is Duke Xingguo, how could he be seriously injured?"

Wu Zheng told Wang Yilin about the future and the ends of the future. Wang Yilin became silent. After thinking about it, he bowed to Wu Zheng and said, "Brother Wu Zheng, I have to visit my uncle, so I will say goodbye."

Wu Zheng bowed and said, "Brother Yilin takes care of me and say hello to Duke Xingguo on my behalf."

At this time, Jiang Quanyi led his people to come and knelt on one knee, "Greetings to the General."

More than 2,000 people, kneeling down, were filled with darkness and shocking momentum.

Wu Zheng quickly shouted: "Mr. Jiang, after today, we will be our own brothers. Why do we need to do this... Let the brothers get up quickly."

Jiang Quanyi then ordered the soldiers to get up and then ran forward, "General, brothers heard that their families are already in Songjiang Prefecture, and they are willing to follow the General."

Before Wu Zheng could speak, Wang Yilin had already spoken. He said in a deep voice: "Brother Wu Zheng, there are nearly 2,000 people in this army that are navy... I have to take them back."

Wu Zheng glanced at Jiang Quanyi, then nodded and said, "Brother Yilin, it's not that I want to stop you from taking them back. No matter what, I will not seize this team when Duke Xingguo was seriously injured. Instead, the court has designated them as rebels, and they really can't go back. They are different from you. You are the nephew of Duke Xingguo, but they... Besides, the soldiers' families are already in Songjiang Prefecture. If you ask them to go back to Beijing with you, it's hard to predict what the result will be. In this way, you can ask, as long as the soldiers are willing to follow you, I will never stop them, how about?"

Wang Yilin thought for a while and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he stepped forward a few steps and shouted at the soldiers: "Brothers of the Shui Master, Duke Xingguo fought bloody battles with the Tartars. He was seriously injured at this time. I want to return to the capital to visit immediately. Brothers, please respond with me?!"

The soldiers focused their eyes on Wang Yilin, but no one responded, and the scene was silent.

Wang Yilin's face was a little dark, and he shouted: "Duke Xingguo treats you very well. Have you all abandoned him and left?"

This was a bit heavy, and many people slowly stood up, but there were less than a hundred people. These were the confidant veterans whom Wu Zheng sent in when he entrusted Wang Zhiren to train the navy before.

Wang Yilin was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed and bowed to Wu Zheng sadly: "Then I... I will say goodbye now."

Wu Zheng bowed and said, "Brother Yilin has a good journey."

Watching Wang Yilin and nearly a hundred soldiers leave, Wu Zheng immediately ordered the entire army to set sail towards Xinghua City.

An hour later, Wu Zheng led his troops into Xinghua City.

He immediately sent a messenger to Yingtian Prefecture, indicating that the war was ordered to be ceased, and at the same time ordered the Jinshan Guard to stop the attack and maintain vigilance against the Qing army in Longtan.

At this point, Wu Zheng no longer went north, built a position outside the north gate of Xinghua, forming a horn with the city tower, and waiting for Dorgon's arrival.

....

Dorgon's army vanguard crossed the river south, and there were more than 15,000 people.

These include the 1,800 Yellow Banner Army led by Belebaintu (son of Aisin Gioro Bayara and nephew of Nurhaci).

It should be said that even if this army is not elite in terms of combat power, it can still be unsatisfactory.

The eight banners of the 1,800 Yellow Banners, and more than 10,000 people selected from the 150,000 army can be considered powerful.

Dorgon no longer underestimates Wu Zheng, he has regarded Wu Zheng as his opponent.

At this time, he moved south from the capital and even brought the three hundred iron armored heavy cavalry under his command.

Speaking of the iron armored heavy cavalry, it is indeed invincible, but it is not invincible, especially in the mountains and rivers. It also has defects and many defects.

For example, when training a heavy cavalry with iron armor, the threshold is too high. First of all, people need to withstand more than 100 kilograms of iron armor, and hold a long halberd or iron spear weighing more than 20 kilograms. This requirement is really not something that ordinary people can achieve. Even if they don’t wave and maintain this posture, they will be in a few ways.

Secondly, the requirements for war horses are even higher. Any selected war horse has strict requirements on almost the size, height, weight, and age of horses. Just imagine, the rider's weight, armor weight, equipment, and the war horse itself must be covered with iron armor. This is a severe test for the carrying capacity of the war horse.

The load is already heavy enough and you still have to charge quickly. You can imagine how long-lasting power this iron armored heavy cavalry can have?

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the charge limit of the iron armor heavy cavalry can last at most one incense stick (about half an hour). If this time exceeds this time, the war horse will be exhausted, and the riders will be the same. In ancient times, there were riders who were crushed to death by iron armor.

The combat radius is even smaller, and the speed of the iron armored heavy cavalry is much lower than that of the light cavalry (the speed is about twenty kilometers per hour, and only ten kilometers in half an hour).

Finally, the cost of forming an iron armored heavy cavalry is too high, which is not affordable by ordinary forces. Not to mention the cost of riders, let’s talk about auxiliary services. A heavy cavalry needs to be equipped with two or three war horses of the same level to increase continuous combat capabilities and in case of emergencies. In this way, the corresponding food and grass supply must be increased.

Anyone with an iron armored heavy cavalry needs to be equipped with at least one deputy rider, four to six auxiliary cavalry. Without the help of the auxiliary cavalry, a rider wearing heavy armor cannot get on the horse at all. The auxiliary cavalry also has to take on the task of transporting, caring for war horses and riders.

Therefore, a heavy iron armored cavalry with 3,000 people will not exceed six hundred people in real combat.

To say that the money spent on an iron armored heavy cavalry is enough to compare with a dozen light cavalry, it is definitely not an exaggeration.

This is a magnetic doll that seems to be very popular. Its powerful combat power is only reflected in a suitable combat area. Once it changes the place, its reaction speed is even lower than that of the infantry.
