Kong Youde felt that Duoduo had finally made the correct judgment: "What King Yu said is very much. As long as we work harder, the Jinhua thieves will completely collapse. Who told them to have so many new recruits!"

According to Kong Youde's years of fighting experience, it was a complete mistake for Liu Yongxi to threaten so many new recruits to participate in the battle. On the decisive battlefield, these new soldiers will not only not provide any help, but will cause trouble everywhere. As long as the pressure on the Jinhua thieves continues to increase, these new recruits will completely collapse.

Duoduo also said confidently: "Two days, at most two days, the Jinhua thief will completely collapse!"

Although the Ming army used villages, fortresses, trenches, rivers, lakes, trees, hills and all terrain to build heavy defense lines, the Qing army also adapted to this tactic. They not only attacked the east and west, but also launched offensives in several directions at the same time, and even used the New Affiliated Army and the Han army to attract firepower.

When the Eight Banners soldiers and the Mongolians launched an offensive, they also changed their tactics. They not only used the speed of their war horses to gallop and suddenly rushed to the Ming army's defense line, but also stopped charging in a concentrated manner, but instead took a more slippery approach to cause countless troubles to the Ming army.

Due to the Qing army taking a series of measures, the losses of the Eight Banners Army and the Mongolian soldiers of the outer vassals were slightly reduced. However, the problem was that the two-day offensive did not achieve the expected results. Although the Qing army captured six or seven small villages, the Ming army immediately rebuilt a tighter defense line. Compared with thousands of casualties, such results made Duoduo and the Eight Banners nobles anxious.

In fact, this is exactly what Liu Yongxi expected to do.

As Duoduo discovered, almost half of Liu Yongxi's Ming army was recruited. These recruits were forced to train themselves in actual combat after only a few days of training at most. However, if they really wanted to win the field, so many recruits would naturally be defeated. Even though these recruits had experienced several tests of actual combat, head-on confrontation with the invincible Eight Banners brigade could only be a dead end.

However, although head-on confrontation is not good, it does not lack the courage to shoot against the Qing army based on the defense line, which is also an inevitable trend in the world's firearming.

It is easier to train a mechatrol. Training a qualified archer often takes one year or even longer and a huge amount of expenses. Training a barely qualified archer only takes one day, and you can continue to improve your marksmanship in actual combat.

Moreover, a grenade gun is cheaper than a bow and arrow, and a large crossbow, but the power of armor-breaking is better than that of ordinary strong crossbows. No matter what kind of armor the Eight Banners warriors wear, as long as the grenade gun is used well, it will still be a fatal ending for a shot. Therefore, although the grenade gun has countless shortcomings, and the Eight Banners Army has defeated the Ming army again and again with its cavalry and shooting skills, the firearm transformation is still an irreversible trend.

As a commander who has experienced countless battles, Liu Yongxi knew how to use a clamping gun. Therefore, it was a clamping gun of the same shape on the surface. However, the clamping gun used by the Ming army in terms of quality is closer to the original Western version and uses Western styles. He only launched a volley when the Qing army approached, and replaced it with granular gunpowder with higher killing effects.

The Qing army often had to withstand multiple firepower volleys before rushing up to fight with the Ming army's spearmen. But even if they broke through the first defense line, the Ming army had already organized a second or even a third defense line, and the more they moved forward, the more they were more susceptible to multiple firepower shooting. Even if the invincible Eight Banners warriors encounter this situation, it would be better to have both sides suffered losses.

The Manchu nobles, including Duoduo, now hated Liu Yongxi to the core. The tens of thousands of musketeers in the Ming army were obviously the cheapest consumables, but after Liu Yongxi's careful organization, they became a powerful weapon to fight against the Eight Banners riding and shooting. Many times, Duoduo, who finally broke through multiple defense lines, felt more distressed than anyone else: "We have killed and injured so many Eight Banners soldiers just to seize such a small village!"

He wished he could break through Liu Yongxi's many defense lines tomorrow to win the final victory, but the Ming army's defense line, like a beehive, had to slow down and use meticulousness, patience and courage to continuously compress the Ming army's living space.

No matter what, the Qing army had the advantage in terms of military strength and combat effectiveness. If it was a field battle, there were a hundred ways to easily solve Liu Yongxi. Although Liu Yongxi adopted the strategy of shrinking defense, he felt that there was not much solution and he couldn't start, but Duoduo and the commander of the Qing army felt that as long as they persisted, victory would definitely belong to the Qing Dynasty.

Duoduo and the Qing army commander did not notice that every offensive consumed or even overdrawed the Qing army's war potential. Instead, Hong Chengchou, the Grand Secretary of Military Affairs, was pacified hundreds of miles away, as the war reports sent from Huzhou were becoming more and more serious.

Although every battle report was that the Qing soldiers won a great victory on the battlefield and defeated many Jinhua bandits and Tu bandits, Duoduo's field army did not take Huzhou City or annihilate the reinforcements led by Liu Yongxi. Instead, they continued to transport more and more wounded and corpses from Huzhou, making Hong Chengchou smell a dangerous smell. After all, he faced the same problem when he was in the decisive battle of Songjin.

The field army of King Yu had already fallen into the black hole of Huzhou Prefecture. He originally thought that the red-clothed cannons could be destroyed after being sent, but the red-clothed cannons that were maneuvering along the water were attacked by Jinhua thieves and naval forces on Taihu Lake. Now he didn't know how to transport the red-clothed cannons. Now the army of King Yu had to keep an eye on Huzhou Prefecture and attack Liu Yongxi's army, and even pay attention to the Ming army in the direction of Jiaxing Prefecture. It was really hard to do it.

The former Ming Dynasty, which had just been renamed "Jiangnan Province", has launched civil unrest in southern Zhili. Within a few days, more than 20 county towns were lost, which made Hong Chengchou feel that there was a huge crisis hidden behind this. Therefore, he asked: "Muzhai, can you do something about the identity of the pseudo-queen?"

Although Qian Qianyi, the surrendered minister, took the lead in welcomeing the army of King Yu into the southern capital, there were old people from Liaodong around him, so he naturally would not take Qian Qianyi, the surrendered minister in his heart. If it weren't for the Jinhua thieves sweeping across Zhejiang, Hong Chengchou wouldn't have taken this Minister of Rites from the Hongguang Dynasty seriously.

Therefore, Qian Qianyi had already made up his mind: "It is natural to say that Empress Zhang's identity or even innocent thing, but it is not enough to save the overall situation. If the Grand Secretary wants to pacify Jiangnan, he should still do some work in using troops!"

Although Qian Qianyi was talking about the truth, now he wanted to conquer Jiangnan was first of all a military rather than a political issue, but the problem was that neither the Regent nor the King of Yu did not trust Hong Chengchou enough. Hong Chengchou did not mobilize the power of the Eight Banners soldiers and only had a few thousand surrendered generals and soldiers.

These thousands of soldiers were used to deal with the turbulent gangs who were in a hurry to rebellion, but it was quite difficult to deal with the Jinhua gangs who infiltrated Jiangnan Province, not to mention that the Jinhua gangs had already been combined with the turbulent gangs. Therefore, Hong Chengchou felt that he could make a big fuss about the identity of the Empress of the Responsible State and the Princess of the Responsible State. Not only could he accuse them of being fake queens and fake princesses, but he could also accuse them of being unclear and turbid and turbid palaces with the pseudo-Secret Duke of Yue.

However, Qian Qianyi pointed out that Hong Chengchou was really thinking too much. Everyone in the world was ready to accept an emperor from a foreign race, so he could naturally accept a queen and a princess of a country. Even if these two nobles had an ulterior motive relationship with the Duke of Yue in their private lives, they could at least be able to maintain the clothes and clothes of the Han family.

Qian Qianyi's warrior with a golden sword and a horse told Hong Chengchou not to have any fantasies: "The Prime Minister, if you want to deal with the Jinhua thieves, it will be true on the battlefield. If King Yu continues like this, there will be a big problem. No one in the world except me, Liu Zeqing, knows how to deal with the little thief Liu Yongxi!"

Speaking of the man Liu Zeqing, the Marquis of Dongping who had just surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and was sent to Nanjing. However, although Liu Zeqing only had a few thousand defeated soldiers, he spoke very loudly: "I have fought with Liu Yongxi, a little thief, for more than a year, and it has been difficult to solve the situation. He has not taken much advantage of me, and I also know what method to use to deal with him!"

Liu Zeqing's behavior was so positive that Hong Chengchou felt full of hope: "Marquis Dongping, tell me what kind of way can we deal with the Jinhua thieves?"

Although Liu Zeqing is a standard martial artist, he was a young man and was a literati, and he spoke very well: "When it comes to dealing with Liu Yongxi, a little thief, no one in the world can win. I have already thought about it before coming to Nandu. There are three strategies for dealing with this little thief!"

Although Hong Chengchou was once the commander of the army and had seen countless big scenes, he was still attracted by Liu Zeqing's statement: "What are the three strategies of the top, middle and lower?"

Liu Zeqing first expressed the so-called best strategy: "The best strategy is very simple. As long as the regent takes it back, the chaos in Jiangnan can naturally be relieved!"

Hong Chengchou knew that Liu Zeqing was talking about the hair shaving order, but this was the most unacceptable rebel scale of the Regent Dorgon. When he left the capital, Dorgon specifically explained to him other issues that could be discussed and compromised, but the hair shaving order could not be discussed. Therefore, he asked blankly: "What is Zhongcere?"

Liu Zeqing patted his chest and said, "Next, please ask the Eight Banners General to guard Nanjing, and use the four towns and the Han army to deal with the Jinhua thieves on the outside. As long as the King of Yu and the Prime Minister give us the name, I can pull up 20,000 soldiers. Although we can't deal with the Qing Dynasty's King's Army, there are a hundred ways to deal with the Jinhua thieves!"

This is Liu Zeqing's self-proclaimed self-proclaimed, but Hong Chengchou felt that what he said was also reasonable. He really had to use the Han army to achieve miraculous results when dealing with the Jinhua thieves. However, he still asked: "What is the worst strategy?"

Liu Zeqing laughed: "I heard that the King of Tang was the emperor in Fuzhou, the prime minister was from Fujian, and they were old acquaintances with Zheng Zhilong and others. If they could come forward to contact the heroes in Fujian, the situation would naturally be different!"
