    Compared to the confidence of the junior staff officers below, several senior commanders of the Qiong Navy were certainly not so arrogant. For them, this battle was still full of fog and various possibilities - but the same was true for the enemy.

    "According to the current marching speed, we can reach Tongzhou in two days. We will establish the first supply point there, and then go directly north to attack Shunyi and Huairou. The final goal is Changping. The base camp of the Jin-Mongolia coalition is located in that area.  "

    That night, in the tent at the campsite, Pang Yu once again explained the combat plan to Tang Jian, Wang Haiyang and others. This was also the route that would be implemented in the end.

    In response, Tang Jian raised his eyebrows:

    "Going north directly from Tongzhou? Why don't you go around the city of Beijing? It's actually closer to Changping from Beijing and the roads are easier to walk."

    In response to this, Pang Yu had a sly smile on his face:

    "Everyone thinks that we will rush to the capital to rescue him. Chongzhen would think so, and Huang Taiji would certainly do the same. If he had any plans, they would definitely be in that direction. But we will take the Shunyi and Huairou route.  Take a slight detour. No matter what plots he has, they will be ruined."

    "Our marching speed is quite fast. If the Hou Jin army wants to turn around and come to fight, they can only use the main force of cavalry to intercept and collide with our army head-on. In this way, both sides will not have too much preparation time. At least they can avoid using their best strength.  That shameless trick - let the common people take the lead."

    Tang Jian nodded slightly and drove the innocent people to the front, consuming the opponent's physical strength and fighting spirit. This was Hou Jin's favorite despicable method.  Although Qiong Haijun had discussed it long before the war started, there was nothing he could do if he encountered this situation. He could only deal with it without fail.  But it’s best to avoid it as much as possible beforehand.

    If Huang Taiji predicts their marching route and intercepts them halfway, it is indeed very possible to prepare a large number of civilian cannon fodder in advance, but if they change directions, it will not be easy for Hou Jin to play this trick again - the movement of civilians  The speed is definitely not comparable to that of the army, and cannot keep up with the pace of the army.

    “In addition, there is a plan to avoid Beijing.”

    Pang Yu continued:

    "Chongzhen is a man who is suspicious, impatient, and easy to seize power. Our march route passes under the city of Beijing. During the decisive battle with Hou Jin, the supply line must also pass through the capital It is too dangerous. We might as well go around it to avoid anything happening to him.  "

    This time Wang Haiyang also nodded in agreement:

    "You really need to be on guard against this, 'pig' teammates are too difficult to deal with!"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:

    "Okay, let's take this route But this way. After passing Tongzhou, there will be no canal waterway support, and the land roads will be much narrower and more rugged, so we need to prepare in advance."

    ——The road they are taking now is actually the route used by trading companies to transport goods to Beijing.  With the lubrication of the trading company's money and the powerful support of the capital's nobles, this road and the corresponding canals and waterways were completely repaired. It can be said to have reached the best state that the Ming Empire could achieve, and it can be called the highway of this era.  highway.

    But once you leave this trade route that transcends the times and go to other routes, your true colors will be revealed.  The roads of this era - hardened pavement is definitely not available, and even smoothness is a luxury.  Some potholes on the road are so big and deep that people can drown on rainy days.

    "In addition, that area is already close to the plundering range of Abatai's command. After we leave Tongzhou, we must advance in combat formation, and we cannot just focus on speed. It is also a troublesome thing to be prepared for enemy raids anytime and anywhere."

    Tang Jian looked at the map and said, while Pang Yu shook his head:

    "According to the latest news from the North Latitude, Abate and Yue Tuo have retreated and joined Huang Taiji's troops. At the moment, only Dorgon and Azigna are still wandering outside, but they are far away from Houjinben  The team is not far away, and they are obviously trying to flank or outflank them."

    "Typical hammer-and-anvil tactics: the main force continues to exert pressure on the enemy, and the guerrilla troops look for opportunities to kill with a fatal blow Hum, Dorgon's character and ability are indeed suitable for this task. Huang Taiji really knows people well and uses them well.  .”

    Wang Haiyang commented from the side, while Pang Yu smiled nonchalantly:

    "No matter how good the strategy is, it can only be effective if it is fought head-on. If the Jin Army wants to break our offensive, the most practical tactic is to fight us face to face in a battle. One battle will determine the outcome, and this is exactly  What we expected.”

    “So the core question is still: where to fight?”

    Xie Xi had not spoken before.??Join the discussion at this time.  But this time Pang Yu could only shrug:

    "This question cannot be answered yet. The location of the battle must be decided jointly by both parties. It is impossible for either side to choose the battlefield that is most unfavorable to one's own side. But generally speaking, unless the other side is a complete fool, there will be no encounter with one's own side.  The most conducive environment.”

    "For the Houjin and Mongolian coalition forces, the most advantageous thing for them must be the flat grassland terrain. For us the ambush battle in the valley must be the most advantageous. However, the size of the enemy army is too large, and Huang Taiji also  It’s impossible to get into that obviously disadvantageous terrain, so we’ll probably end up fighting on the plains.”

    “But in the north, there are too many such terrains, and it’s really hard to choose.”

    Tang Jian looked at the map and said, Pang Yu nodded:

    "So we can only look at it when the time comes. Anyway, for our army's firepower advantage, the difference is not big."

    The other people stopped talking and put aside the choice of battlefield for the time being.  After a moment of pause, Pang Yu said again:

    "There is another thing: a telegram came from the other side of the northern latitude, saying that a comrade in their reconnaissance camp unfortunately died, and the weapons may have been seized by the Jin Army."

    "Is it a new rifle?"

    Jie Xi immediately frowned and Pang Yu nodded:

    "Yes, although our soldiers have been trained and know how to destroy the barrel of a gun in the most unfavorable situation, no one knows whether it is actually implemented in that desperate situation. So assuming the worst case scenario: Hou Jin  The military may have obtained a semi-automatic rifle that can shoot, with a range of about three to four hundred meters, and twenty or thirty rounds of ammunition."

    "In a head-on battle, just one gun can't make a big splash, but if the opponent uses it for assassination, it will be quite troublesome. Northern Latitude wants everyone to pay more attention to safety during this period. When you are in an outdoor environment, be careful not to  If you stay in one place for a long time, don't give snipers any room to play. Although it is estimated that Houjin will not be able to cultivate this type of troops so quickly, it is still right to be vigilant."

    Pang Yu recounted the requirements in the Northern Latitude telegram, and no one in the tent said a word.  Everyone's faces were not very good——even though they knew that this day would come sooner or later, it was really depressing to have the new weapons they had high hopes for captured by the opponent in such a short period of time.

    "They can't copy our firearms, can they?"

    Tang Jian frowned and Pang Yu nodded confidently this time:

    “Don’t worry, the industrial group can guarantee that barrels and bullets cannot be solved by the technology of this era. In fact, other accessories are similar, but they are not as hard-core as barrels and bullets.”

    "That's okay. It's not that easy to carry out an assassination with just one or two guns Well, we need to pay attention to ourselves, and those Ming Dynasty officials should also remind them that they know nothing about this aspect."

    "Okay, I'll let them know."

    Pang Yu nodded.

    …………

    Starting from the next day, the senior generals of the Qiong Navy took certain vigilance measures and were no longer exposed to the wide area.  Including those Ming Dynasty civil and military officials who followed them, they were also reminded to beware of sniping from a distance.

    "According to the latest intelligence, some of our new firearms fell into the hands of the Tatars during the outpost battle. In order to prevent them from jumping over the wall to assassinate them, you adults had better change into less eye-catching clothes to avoid becoming a priority target.  "

    Most people decisively followed Shorthair's advice. After all, they had been marching with Qiongzhen in the past few days, and they had an intuitive understanding of the performance of Qionghai Navy's firearms. When camping and resting, the Shorthair Army would also organize some small groups.  Large-scale recreational activities, shooting competitions are also part of the content.

    Even the range and power of the Qionghai rifle were far beyond their original imagination of firecrackers, not to mention that even Shorthair admitted that it was a new weapon that was stronger than the Qionghai rifle.  So they replaced their original colorful and flashy official uniforms and put on military uniforms of the same style as the Greenskin Army, so that they would be inconspicuous among the crowd.

    But there are also those who have troubles, such as Eunuch Cao Huachun. He doesn't have any objections to the green leather military uniforms. He also changed out of the eye-catching red python robe, but he refuses to wear Qiong Haijun's military cap on his head no matter what.

    "why?"

    When Tang Jian heard the report from others, it was still a little difficult to understand, but the person next to him started to chuckle.

    "I guess it's because our military caps and uniforms are the same color - both are green."

    Tang Jian cheered and said angrily:

    "Zhang Shize, a young man with a wife and concubines, doesn't care about this. He is an old man"What are taboos in prison?  "

    Jie Xi laughed loudly:

    "You don't know something about this. Lord Cao also has a foreign residence in the capital. Just because he is a eunuch, it is even more taboo."

    Tang Jian shook his head helplessly. In the end, Cao Huachun didn't wear a hat and only wrapped a bag with a scarf. Qiong Haijun couldn't do much, so he had to let him go.

    Of course, this is just a small episode, and the march along the way is still very comfortable.  The troops sent out patrols all the way. Even if there was a small reconnaissance force on Houjin's side, they could not get close at all.

    Another day later, the main force of Qiong Haijun entered Tongzhou City.
