Because Zuo Menggeng's Huguang Navy was close to this place, he looked out from Ye Yun's tent. The dense surface of the Yangtze River was full of warships, so it was not an exaggeration to describe it as covering the sky and the sun. It took a lot of money to establish the Huguang Navy back then.

Yesterday, the navy warships had already launched a tentative attack. Their navy warships also had artillery on them, and they were about to bombard Ye Yun's camp while Ye Yun was not clear about the situation.

Who knew that after the initial panic, Ye Yun's artillery troops were immediately pulled out.

Because the navy warships were too densely stopped, when the artillery regiment's shells fell, they could blow up the place.

Ye Yun still remembered the situation yesterday evening. He wanted to give him a warning, but he gave him a warning.

In the end, five or six naval warships were destroyed, and about hundreds of people were buried in the Yangtze River.

If the artillery regiment had a better position, it would probably be able to give them a deeper blow, but when the artillery regiment began to move, the Huguang Navy had already seen that the gap between their artillery and the artillery of the court was too big.

If they continue to fight, the losses may be greater, so they start moving upstream and downstream, trying to keep themselves out of the range of the artillery.

Fortunately, they ran fast. If they had slowed down a little more, the artillery regiment would have been able to give them a new round of artillery bombardment after new deployment. At that time, it would have been less than losing hundreds of people.

It turned out that the artillery of the Ming Dynasty used solid bullets, so even if it was shot, there were some other things on the ship. As long as the gap was blocked, there would be nothing to worry about.

So the soldiers of the Huguang Navy did not think about how serious the losses they would suffer.

But as soon as they fought with the artillery soldiers of the court, they knew that their ideas were completely wrong.

The imperial court used this flowering bullet, and it was extremely powerful. When these shells hit their naval warships, the moment they exploded, they could shatter these wooden boats.

Now that I think of the situation yesterday, many people are still afraid. Fortunately, we run fast, otherwise we will be feeding fish in the Yangtze River now!

Ye Yun rode his horse and took his men to survey the surroundings for several rounds.

"Transfer my order and arrange more observers along the Yangtze River. Be careful to hide yourself. Once you find that a navy warship has entered our range, fire them immediately."

The Yangtze River is too long. If troops were sent to garrison, they would use at least two regiments of their own troops, and then there would be no way to deal with the enemies in Jiujiang City.

So the only way is to set up observers and let the artillery drive away these warships.

If they don’t care about them, it will be troublesome if Zuo Menggeng asks people to board the navy warship and directly trash Ye Yun and the others’ way out.

"The last general takes the order."

After Ye Yun finished speaking, several cavalrymen quickly headed to the artillery battalion.

"Report..."

With a lengthened sound, Ye Yun saw a scout with a small flag coming in the distance.

"Report to the General that he discovered the Guanning Iron Cavalry twenty miles northwest of Jiujiang City."

As soon as Ye Yun heard the four words Guanning Iron Cavalry, he felt uncomfortable all over.

It was clearly the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, but now it has become the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. Guanning Iron Cavalry has appeared. Then Wu Sangui must be not far away. This damn old guy really has to meet him on the battlefield.

Ye Yun received a report from the court two days ago that General Gao Jie had led three regiments of troops into Henan.

In order to restrain Wu Sangui's army, is this guy who doesn't want his territory in Henan and brings Guanning cavalry to Jiujiang?

In fact, Wu Sangui, the territory of Henan, of course, wanted it.

The situation in the north has also changed now. Originally, there were no Eight Banners Iron Cavalry in Henan.

Now after some exploration, the Qing court believed that Qufu was easy to defend but difficult to attack. If he continued to move south from Qufu, he would probably have to pay a greater price.

So they were preparing to switch to another road, which was to enter the Huguang area from Henan, and then go east from the Huguang area.

So when the Eight Banners Cavalry entered Henan, Wu Sangui's army was vacant and could support Jiujiang.

The Qing court's abacus was very good. They wanted Wu Sangui and Zuo Menggeng to win the Jiujiang Battle, and then they could slash the spirit of the Ming court.

At the same time, the Henan army can also go south and use the Yangtze River for transportation, and go directly to Nanjing.

Of course, the idea is very good, but whether it can be realized is another matter.

Take their previous combat plan as an example. They also wanted to go south from Qufu, but did they finally take it? Not only did they not cross Qufu, they lost nearly 300,000 troops, so sometimes they should not be too whimsical.

It seems that these people are determined to win Jiujiang...

Ye Yun said in a low voice.

If Jiujiang is in Zuo Menggeng's hands, there is no danger to defend from here to Nanjing, but if Jiujiang is in Ye Yun's hands, they can also go straight to Wuchang. This is really a strategic location.

Ye Yun sorted out her clothes and began to inspect various positions calmly, so that her soldiers must strive for excellence. At the same time, she constantly emphasized the importance of this battle. After Wu Sangui's army arrived, there would be a big battle here.

Compared with Ye Yun's calmness, Zuo Menggeng seemed a little impetuous.

Before, Zuo Menggeng had a high eye and low attitude, thinking that he could do what Zuo Liangyu could do, but his father was just too careful.

So he was not allowed to take charge of too many things. Now he is doing his father's affairs, but he doesn't have the same style as his father. He feels that all kinds of things are against him.

Either it wasn't suitable here or it wasn't suitable there. When his father was in power, he didn't feel that there were so many inappropriate things.

Zuo Liangyu has good processing ability. Zuo Menggeng is a big fantasy. If you want to be like his father, you still have a lot to learn!

If he had studied humbly, he would have learned his father's appearance in ten or twenty years, but now he can't wait. If a military coup is involved, will others train him like he is raised?

At this moment, in Zuo Menggeng's conference hall, Wu Sangui and Zuo Menggeng were looking at each other, and they were already having awkward before the war started...
