sixty-four

"Report... the Qing army has launched a fierce attack on Fengyang. Dai Dutong died in the battlefield and was beheaded by the Qing army on the flagpole as a spoil."

In the evening, the scouts sent by Xu Gongji found a large group of people, clasped their fists to Lin Yu, and Wei Guangdong reported the war on the front line. "A large number of people gathered in Fengyang City, with heavy casualties and unstable morale."

Wei Guangdong wondered: "He, a general of the three armies, how could he die in battle? It would be fine if he was killed by the Qing army artillery fire, but why was he still owled by the Tartars? It's really hard to understand."

"shut up!"

Lin Yu glared at his eyes and scolded, "Tong Dai must have gone out of the city to fight, otherwise how could he be cut off from his head?"

Zhu Youliang muttered: "As the chief general of the three armies, the Zhongdu stayed in the Situ Tong, but took the lead in going out of the city to fight. General Dai's choice is not worthy of the last general!"

Lin Yu sighed: "It is certain that the generals are afraid of death, so Du Tong Dai personally went to fight to kill the enemy. If everyone is as loyal, brave and patriotic as him, the Ming Dynasty will not only fall to this point? Millions of Qing soldiers account for 80%. It is really a tragedy for a country and a nation!"

Wei Guangdong and Zhu Youliang were speechless and both lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Lin Yu asked again: "Where have the cavalry led by General Xu Gongji?"

The scout bowed and said, "Report to the Governor, the cavalry led by Xu Tongzhi has entered Fengyang Prefecture. In order to avoid being discovered by the Qing army, they temporarily hid at the foot of Jingshan Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to harass the Qing army and alleviate the pressure on the defenders in the city."

Lin Yu nodded: "Well... this strategy is very correct. Tell Xu Tongzhi to act carefully. The Qing army is powerful and must not confront each other head-on. Let's make a decision after our governor leads the army."

The scout took the order to ride the horse away, and Lin Yu asked the guide again: "Where is our army now, and how far is it from Fengyang?"

"If you go back to the governor, this place is under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Prefecture and is under the jurisdiction of Dingyuan County. The front passes through Shigu Mountain and is Linhuai City, and there is still about 230 miles away."

The team set off from Nanjing Wuma Ferry at Hai at the hour of Hai last night, around 9 o'clock in the evening. Now they marched for a day and a night, and walked 170 miles. This era is already considered a rapid pace.

Seeing that the soldiers were trapped and were exhausted, Lin Yu ordered the place to be repaired for two and a half hours, and then continued to march after midnight.

As the main general, you must weigh the pros and cons. If a team that is tired of rushing to lose its combat effectiveness is obviously not a wise move. Being able to march quickly and maintain the team's physical strength is the way to be the general.

The Qing army attacked Fengyang this time with a strong force, and was determined to win. Even if the reinforcements used their energy to rush, they would have to arrive the day after tomorrow. I wonder if the defenders could hold on?

If the Qing army broke the city, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Damn Tartars, a few days ago, my husband's family took two children back to Fengyang to visit relatives, and was trapped in the city like this. I really don't know how to survive if the city is broken?"

Many soldiers had relatives in Fengyang, and no one knew howled among the soldiers who were resting on the spot, which made the soldiers sigh, and their sorrows were bleak, and they frowned one by one.

Seeing that Governor Lin was in a bad mood, Gu Jinchao, Zhang Chenglin, Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi and other staff didn't speak much, and they all ate dry food silently, worried about the war in Fengyang.

Gu Jinxi obediently picked up the iron bowl and poured hot water to Lin Yu, "Du... Governor, does the sniper rifle really exist? If there is really a thing, I will try to blow Duoduo's dog head with one shot."

Lin Yu squeezed out a smile: "Of course there is, but it's not easy to practice the marksmanship well. It would be great if you can practice it in two years."

Cultivating an excellent sniper is not easy, the first thing is to exercise your shooting skills.

According to what Lin Yu knew before traveling through time, he would need to consume 70,000 bullets to train. It takes about two years to train and shoot 100 bullets every day. It would be good for ordinary soldiers to shoot 100 bullets in a year.

Even if Gu Jinxi is a shooting genius, he would have to spend 30,000 bullets on this reference.

"According to 500 gold coins per bullet, 30,000 bullets are about 15 million gold coins. Damn, it's enough to buy a tank." Lin Yu felt a headache if he thought about it casually.

In addition to training shooting skills, an excellent sniper also has to hone his patience, be able to withstand various complex external factors for a long time, and be able to lie on prone in ice and snow or grass for a long time, even without eating or drinking, shit and peeing in his pants.

If you want to have superhuman patience, you must exercise an excellent physique, be able to withstand the severe cold and heat, not be afraid of rain, snow, wind and frost. You also have to practice a calm and steady personality, and you must never be impatient.

In short, cultivating an excellent sniper is not a matter of overnight success. It is already a blessing to be able to cultivate a qualified sniper in two years.

Gu Jinxi didn't argue, sat on the ground watching Lin Yu eat, holding his cheek with one hand and said, "Let me see it first, it's too early to say the rest."

After 40,000 troops were full and drunk, they left a team of men to patrol, and the other soldiers slept on the spot, and continued to rush forward after two hours.

Since Lin Yu came to this world, he has not slept for many good nights. At this moment, he was extremely tired and gave the driver's seat to Gu Jinxi. He lay on the deck and slept loudly, and after a while he snored loudly.

"Oh...it seems that he's really exhausted."

Gu Jinxi showed a hint of pity, not like a murderous female executioner who did not blink. He took out his carrying long gown from his bag and covered Lin Yu's body.

"I'll send you thousands of miles away..."

In a daze, the sudden music that sounded suddenly scared Gu Jinxi, who had just fallen asleep, and Lin Yu also got up and found that it was the alarm music of his electronic watch.

He hurriedly closed it and rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Time flies so fast. I feel like I've just sniffed for a moment, and four hours have passed."

Gu Jinxi has been lying on the bed to recuperate in the past few days and has long been full. After taking a nap, he recovered from his senses. He stared at Lin Yu's black watch on his wrist and was full of interest: "What is this? He can still sing? The singing is so strange!"

Of course, it costs money to pick up girls, so Lin Yu took off the electronic watch generously and gave it to Gu Jinxi, "Do you know the Western clock? This is a Western watch. Wearing it on your wrist can accurately grasp the time."

Gu Jinxi was so excited that he took it like a baby: "I know the Western clock. Uncle Second gave my father one the two years ago. But I have never seen such a small clock that can be worn on my wrist. How do you look at the time?"

Lin Yu has no time to teach Gu Jinxi to know Arabic numerals, so he took it back and turned the display to a Roman scale hour marker, and then put it on Gu Jinxi on his wrist: "You should know this way, right?"

Looking at the blue LCD screen emitting a faint light, Gu Jinxi cheered excitedly: "Know, know, it's the same as our Western clock. It's 1:00 a.m....35, right?"

Lin Yu gave a thumbs up: "No, smart! This Western watch has many functions, such as step counting, arithmetic, etc., which is of great help to a sniper. I will teach you how to use it later."

"What a treasure!" Gu Jinxi could hardly put it down and said a little embarrassedly, "I really don't know how to repay you for accepting such a valuable gift?"

Lin Yu showed a wicked smile: "Please promise me, then I have some treasures for you."

Gu Jinxi's head shook like a rattle: "You are the governor, I can't stand it. Besides, Mrs. Zun may not agree."

"My husband is the wife's leader, and I have the final say on whether to take a concubine."

Lin Yu tentatively stroked Gu Jinxi's hair and ordered, "You wait for me in the cabin. I will go out and wake up the soldiers and continue on the way. Fengyang is in danger and urgent."

Lin Yu crawled out of the cockpit and summoned the trumpet soldiers, ordered the trumpet to sound the trumpet, awaken the soldiers who had not yet woken up, and continued to march towards Fengyang overnight.

The large group of people was about to set off when a scout suddenly came to report: "Report to the Governor, there is a team coming from the east, about three or four thousand people, wearing the armor of our Ming Dynasty."

"It should be that the soldiers of the Yu-Camp under our governor came from Yangzhou to assist in the war. After exploring the Qing Dynasty, they were allowed to meet." Lin Yu guessed.
