After Feng Yuruo came back, he took a cowhide bag and poured wine.

Seeing that she was a little depressed, Chu Qi said from the side: "Feng Yuruo, I know you are not very satisfied with their tactical arrangements and want to seize command, but this is a war within them, and we cannot easily intervene. Unless our Ming army has a legitimate reason to intervene in the war, then we can point fingers at them."

Feng Yuruo still didn't say anything, and Chu Qi simply snatched her cowhide bag.

Feng Yuruo complained: "What are you doing? I'm just drinking water."

"..." Chu Qi embarrassedly returned the cowhide water bag to Feng Yuruo: "I thought you were angry and drunk..."

Feng Yuruo leaned against the wall: "I'm not so angry. Staying calm is a quality that an officer must possess. Moreover, Boregaard's cautious tactics may not necessarily fail, and my ideas may not necessarily succeed. After all, he led a group of newcomers who have not undergone strict training."

Chu Qi asked: "If it were our Ming army, how many people would it take to destroy the Manassas position?"

Feng Yuruo stretched out a finger: "10,000 people are enough."

On the night of the second day when the Southern Army and the Northern Army confronted each other across the Benniu River, reinforcements from the Southern Army arrived one after another, with nearly 30,000 people.

The Southern Army arrived at General Joseph Johnston, whose general sequence in the Southern Army was even higher than Boregard, and Jackson was one of his subordinates. Boregard was going to give him command, but Johnston refused with unfamiliar terrain and still allowed Boregard to be commander.

Now Boregaard has 10 brigades in his hands, and reinforcements are on the way to the train. He finally dared to launch an offensive against the Northern Army of 13 brigades across the river.

"In the middle is a stone bridge, the right wing is the downstream shallow, and the left wing is the relatively turbulent upstream. According to their temptation over the past two days, they are likely to concentrate their troops on the shallow to cross the river. Therefore, we can concentrate our troops tomorrow morning to use our right fists to attack the enemy's left wing." Boregaard put forward his own opinions.

The generals of the Southern Army all agreed with Boregade's view. They only need to make adjustments tomorrow to launch an offensive against the enemy.

At the end, Boregade said to Chu Qi and Feng Yuruo present: "Mr. Chu and this beautiful lady, you are guests from the Ming Dynasty. The information you provided has already won us a good time for reinforcements. In the next battle, please go to the rear and wait for news of our victory. If you win, you will also have your contribution."

"We want to stay on the front line to watch the battle at that time." Chu Qi expressed his and Feng Yuruo's thoughts.

One of them is the Jinyiwei Qianhu and the other is the guerrilla general of the Ming army. They are not greedy for life and death, and they do not want to miss this scene of a battle of tens of thousands of people. At the same time, this is also a good opportunity to see the combat capabilities and morale of North American militias.

"Then it will not be too dangerous for you to follow General Jackson to defend the Harry Heights." Boregaard still did not dare to let the representatives of the Ming Empire here have something to do, so he arranged Chu Qi and Feng Yuruo in the last line of defense.

"Affect the order."

Chu Qi wanted to go to the front line, but he could not cause trouble to the Southern Army generals because of his own ideas, otherwise he might take the blame.

Jackson was also a person Chu Qi knew. The brigade he led was the reserve team of the Southern Army at this time.

Chu Qi left Boregaard's command center and said to Feng Yuruo: "Now they finally organized a counterattack, you should be satisfied now."

Feng Yuruo shook his head: "The Northern Army has gathered on the other side for two days to gain a foothold. At this time, the effect of launching an offensive is unpredictable. The opponent's main force may not necessarily be concentrated in the shallows. It would be great if he could know the opponent's movements."

Chu Qi smiled bitterly: "The enemy is right opposite, and it only takes a few hours to mobilize troops. Even if we have spies in their army, we cannot inform us of the news in time. Unless the two sides are separated by a long enough distance, we can react in time."

Chu Qi, Feng Yuruo and other members of the Jinyiwei packed their luggage, and they moved to Jackson's position and entered the temporary tent.

Rather than tents, it is a shelter supported by muskets. Militia without war experience lie in the simple shelter and complain about mosquito bites from time to time.

Jackson was very good to Chu Qi and others: "The war broke out too suddenly, and we didn't have so many tents at all, so we had to use muskets as a bracket, with a cloth tied on it. However, a few guests from the Ming Dynasty, we can give up one or two tents for you."

Chu Qi said to Jackson: "General Jackson, I didn't expect that after we parted in Richmond, we would meet here."

Jackson took off his military cap: "For old friends, I still don't want to meet on the battlefield. We will launch a counterattack tomorrow, and I hope you have a good night's sleep."

Chu Qi and Feng Yuruo were arranged in a small tent.

For the Southern Army, which was short of supplies, a complete tent was extremely rare, especially when Jackson's brigade came from the river valley overnight by train. Most of them were still motion sickness and did not bring too many tents.

Outside the tent, there were snoring from militia, complaints and praying to God.

I was actually experiencing the first major battle of the Civil War.

This is the tranquility before the decisive battle.

"Is it possible for the Northern Army to launch a sneak attack at night?" Chu Qi lay on the uneven grassland and asked Feng Yuruo.

"It's possible, but it's unrealistic. Tonight's night is very dark, and the two sides are still separated by a river. Even their own people cannot tell the difference. The sneak attack will only seek death. Even the sneak attack will start at least at Chenshi." Feng Yuruo replied.

"Chen Shi." Chu Qi knew that Chen Shi was seven o'clock in the morning, and the sky was getting whiter, which was enough for the two armies to distinguish the enemy and us.

"Where did you serve as a guerrilla general before?"

"Guangzhou Prefecture."

"The local area should be quite prosperous. After all, Annan, Siam, and Dongyu are all vassal states of our Ming Dynasty. They will rely on the goods of Guangzhou Prefecture."

Chu Qi did not hear Feng Yuruo's response, but heard a faint breathing. It turned out that she was already asleep.

On the front line of the battlefield, Chu Qi could still fall asleep calmly, and he was secretly surprised by Feng Yuruo.

He was a little nervous.

This was his first time witnessing a battle, a large-scale battle of more than 60,000 people, and even his life was worried.

He couldn't help but think of Zhang Zhi'er, and he promised her to go back alive.

Seeing that the situation is not good, just evacuate here. Chu Qi thought to himself in his heart.
