The military situation was on fire, limited to the harsh situation on the third-line battlefield. After resting in Nanjing for two days, on May 25th, Fatty Lu personally led the main force of the Fatty Army to set off again, heading for Zhenjiang, where Li Guodong, the General Reserve of the Fatty Army, was located. city.
Unlike the 20,000 troops that were dispatched during the Western Expedition, this time the Fatty Army¡¯s troops set out from Nanjing alone exceeded 60,000 troops (including some troops that Fatty Lu brought from Taiping Mansion when the Western Expedition ended). In addition, there are Han Daren's 20,000 troops (including the newly recruited prisoners) who are already on the way to the east, plus Li Guodong's navy with 15,000 people, and the Gaode Jie army in Yangzhou City with 26,000 people. The Fatty Army's troops preparing to enter the Yangzhou battlefield this time accounted for two-thirds of the Jiangnan Fatty Army's strength, reaching an astonishing 120,000 or more! It can be said to be the best of the best, betting on Fatty Lu's fat luck to fight to the death!
Such a large-scale mobilization of the Fat Army's troops is naturally impossible to hide from the eyes of the Qing army's meticulous eyes¡ªeven if the Qing army's meticulous staff is like a certain nine-stream Internet writer called a wolf in later generations, he is super near-sighted, It can be seen that the huge fat army team is like the white torrent, slowly flowing along the official road in the south of the Yangtze River, slowly but firmly passing through the villages, farmland, streams and woods in the south of the Yangtze River, dyeing the troubled Jiangnan land A piece of white.
?On the broad Yangtze River, the large and small ships carrying fat military supplies and hanging white flags are like crucian carp crossing the river. They are densely packed and almost cover the river. They also dye the crystal clear Yangtze River into a piece of snow white.
At the time of departure, Fatty Lu gave a speech to the 60,000 Fatty Army soldiers on the Nanjing campus, and told the Fatty Army soldiers in an unambiguous and discordant manner, "Soldiers, our expedition this time is not to plunder land, money and food. , not to fight for promotion and wealth and personal interests, we are fighting for revenge! Thirty years ago, Manchu invaded Jiangnan, turning Jiangnan into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood, a hell on earth, where the Han sisters who bullied us have died. Millions! The number of our Jiangnan compatriots who killed us is tens of millions! The people who plundered our Han people are worth hundreds of millions!"
"Today, Man Gou is here again, and the Emperor Man Gou is here in person! The foreign devils who have hooked up with the Red Hair Country and the Raksha Country are here! They are coming to kill our compatriots again, and they are coming to humiliate our sisters, wives and daughters It's time to come again to steal our land, money and food, and to turn our Jiangnan paradise into a hell on earth! Jiangnan is dangerous, and we are also very dangerous, but danger and opportunity coexist, because in this battle, our opponent is The Mangou Emperor is the pockmarked Mangou Emperor whose hands are stained with the blood of our Han compatriots! If we can, if not, we will definitely be able to capture him alive, and we will be able to survive the danger. Our tens of millions of Jiangnan The souls of our compatriots and tens of millions of Han compatriots all over the country can rest in peace!"
"The emperor is full of dogs, avenge my Chinese compatriots! Take revenge, and China will win! Take revenge, and the Han people will win! Take revenge, and Great Zhou will win!"
In the drizzle, 60,000 fat soldiers raised their swords and guns at the same time, as if a steel wall had risen from the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the orderly and rhythmic shouts also resounded in the sky, "Revenge and hatred, China will win! Revenge and hatred, Han people To avenge and hate, the Great Zhou must win! To avenge and hate, China must win! To avenge and hate, the Han people must win! To avenge and hate, the Great Zhou must win! To avenge and hate¡ª¡ª¡ª!¡±
"Soldiers, look at the filial piety on your body, and you will be able to remember the blood that Mangou brought us to Jiangnan!"
"Soldiers, look at the filial piety on your body, and you will be able to remember the suffering that Mangou brought us to China!"
"Soldiers, look at the filial piety on your body, and you can remember that this time you are not only fighting for yourself, but also for the compatriots in the south of the Yangtze River! You are also fighting for the common people of China! Fighting for all the descendants of Yan and Huang¡ª ¡ª!¡±
Amidst Fatty Lu's hoarse shouts, the slogan of revenge and revenge also sounded over and over again in the Nanjing school grounds and the land in the south of the Yangtze River. Hearing the angry and neat slogans, and seeing the fat army soldiers who were excited and excited, the frightened Mi Qing was naturally the first to send news to the Mi Qing army as quickly as possible. The places where the fat army passed along the way, the secret agents of the Qing army lurking in these places were naturally the first to send the snowflake-like emergency documents to the Qing army and to the commander of the Yangzhou battlefield of the Qing army at the fastest speed In front of Yue Le, it was sent to Kang Mazi who was actually still lurking in the Xiba camp north of the Yellow River.
Relying on the advantage of the distance, Yue Le, the coach of the Southern Expedition of the Qing Army stationed outside Yangzhou City, naturally received the news that Lu Fatzi led the main force of the Fatty Army to the Yangzhou battlefield before Kang Mazi. Yue Le, who had completely wiped out the intelligence of the Qing army, read this extremely urgent emergency document, his face was ashen, and he didn't say a word for a while. Tu Hai, Jie Shu, Shang Shan, and Dong Weiguo in the handsome tentTelling himself that he must persist in being cruel and vicious, "It is of course the best to capture Yangzhou City and defend it. If it is impossible to attack, my army suffered heavy casualties. The main force of Wu Dog arrived at the Yangzhou battlefield, and my army retreated northward." No matter how cunning and treacherous that thief Lu Yifeng is, he probably would never have imagined that I am now attacking the city at any cost¡ªjust to lure him into chasing me to the floodplain!"
