Boluo's army rested in Nanjing for two days, and then set off for Danyang.

The two armies are still a hundred miles apart, and the sentry cavalry of the two sides have already met frequently, and even small-scale fights have taken place with each other, but the losses are not large.

After all, for these sentry cavalry, it is the main task to detect intelligence and find out the situation of the enemy.

Killing a few enemy troops will not affect the overall situation, but a piece of useful information may influence the situation on the battlefield.

The movement of 120,000 people is not so big, and the whereabouts of them are simply not concealed.

Soon Wu Changqing learned that the direction of the Qing army was Danyang, and then he was relieved to lay out the line of defense. The sixty thousand army does not mean that they are piled up into a square formation, it is too big, and it is impossible to change the formation.

Sixty thousand people were divided into three armies by Wu Changqing, and the distribution of the three armies was also very particular.

On the left is the cold weapon unit of Dong Tianbao's department. In front of them is a paddy field, and on the left is a section of small hills. This terrain is not convenient for cavalry to charge. Put them here to prevent them from being hit and projected by the cavalry.

The Chinese army was placed on the main road, where the terrain was flat and suitable for cavalry charge.

To deliberately put the Chinese army here is to lure the Cavalry from the Qing Dynasty to attack their hollow phalanx.

On the right wing is the Liu Han III. They occupy a high ground with artillery positions arranged on it. Their task is to defend the right wing of the army and protect these artillery.

The cavalry wandered around the periphery, waiting for opportunities.

At the same time, there is a reserve team in the rear of the three armies to do various temporary tasks such as reinforcements and cover.

The Chinese army has the largest number of troops, six thousand flintlock troops, nine thousand matchlock troops, three thousand archers, three thousand grenadiers, and three thousand swordsmen.

The so-called grenadiers are professional grenade-throwers. Their characteristics are that they have strong arms and can throw things far away. Each of them was equipped with ten grenades, and they had no other weapons, not even big swords.

After all, each soldier has a limited weight, and they need to carry as many grenades as possible.

Moreover, they don't usually train cold weapon fighting skills, and it's useless to carry a knife. It's better to withdraw after throwing a grenade.

And those three thousand swordsmen and shields were specially used to cover the retreat of grenadiers and crossbowmen, and they did not participate in the main battle mission.

These are general plans, and there are many detailed settings. In actual combat, the situation will become very complicated. Every soldier needs to perform his or her duties as a part of the war machine.

There are 20,000 troops on the left, of which there are 2,000 grenadiers, and the rest are cold weapons.

However, even in the Cold Weapon Unit, almost each of them would carry two grenades. Throwing two grenades before hand-to-hand combat is absolutely sour.

The main task of the left-wing force is to protect the Chinese army from attacks from multiple directions at the same time.

Of course, they are actually the main force in the decisive battle, and they need to undertake very important containment tasks.

There are only 10,000 people on the right. In addition to the containment task, the main purpose is to protect their artillery positions. Each of these cannons is extremely expensive.

If the enemy's cavalry rushed over and destroyed it, the trouble would be great.

Therefore, the terrain here is the most difficult high ground for cavalry to deploy.

At night, Wu Changqing and other generals continued to conduct deductions on the war, looking for omissions.

After some deduction, Wu Changqing said: "The natural enemy army will probably arrive in the future. Everyone, success or failure depends on this. Defeat the main force of the enemy army. They will not be able to relieve themselves within half a year, and we can take all the surrounding areas of Nanjing. The day after tomorrow, I hope you will do your best."

"Swear to the death."

Everyone shouted a slogan.

"Fifteen thousand firecrackers, these Manchu Tatars certainly don't know what this means, and they will definitely suffer a big loss."

Li Shaobin smiled and said, although their strength is half that of the enemy, many of them are actually not that scared.

After all, they have always fought with less to win more, and they have never fought a war with superior strength. Therefore, they have become accustomed to losing their troops.

Moreover, being in the Wu army, they are more aware of the terrifying force of this army. Not only are weapons advanced, the morale of these soldiers is also several times stronger than that of other armies.

This is probably because of the reasons for admiring Wu Changqing, and also the reasons for grateful to Wu Changqing for letting them learn Chinese characters, the reasons that Wu Changqing promised to divide the fields in the future, and the reasons for practicing day and night.

For many reasons, the fighting spirit of this unit is very strong.

"Manchu and Qing Tatars also had firecrackers, and there were as many as 10,000. However, I think their firecrackers might not have learned the essence of our army."

Liu Hansan said that the fighting methods of flintlock and matchlock are very different. Because the flintlocks were too good, the Qing army only knew about the flintlocks of Wu Jun.

But I don't know, in fact, the matchlock unit in the Wu army is also a very sharp unit. Their fighting style, the Qing army is definitely not.

The atmosphere in the entire camp was very optimistic. I didn't know that they thought they had the advantage of troops and wanted to put the Qing army in one go.

Xue Guiren, who was watching this scene, sighed inwardly, that he was not wronged when he lost.

This army is far more terrifying than it seems on the surface.

After the discussion, the ministry will disband and return to their respective camps to arrange tasks.

Wu Changqing came outside the tent and looked up at the stars.

He was very excited and a little nervous about the upcoming battle.

After all, deduction is just a deduction. The battlefield is full of accidents, and no one dares to say that it will win until the last moment.

If this decisive battle is defeated, he has to start from scratch. If this decisive battle is defeated, the secrets of the flintlock and the spinning machine will probably not be kept, and the difficulty will be increased by an urgent goodbye if the anti-clearing is later.

Therefore, he cannot be defeated in this decisive battle.

It took more than two days for the Manchu army to reach the battlefield for a hundred miles.

In the early morning of the next morning, the two sides had already started to line up at a distance of about two kilometers.

The generals on Wu Jun's side all stood on high places, holding binoculars to observe the enemy, and then made some adjustments.

On the Qing army's side, Boluo also took out a telescope. This was the only telescope Hong Chengchou obtained from Suzhou without using all his power.

"This is really a good thing. The enemy's situation can be seen clearly."

Boluo couldn't help sighing.

"It is said that this thing was also invented by Wu Changqing. This person is extremely clever and has a wild mind. He has produced a lot of good things with strange shapes. It is a pity that this guy is too ambitious to surrender."

Hong Chengchou said with emotion, aside from his position, he admired Wu Changqing's very much. It's a pity that each is the owner, and the two are destined to meet each other in battle.
