Fifty-six, dressed like snow, crossing the river with Susu!

Lin Yu clicked on the center console screen to check the remaining combat supplies of Mekava: a 120mm shell, a coaxial machine gun has been removed, and 27L of diesel.

The coaxial machine gun was removed and placed in Yangzhou. Lin Yu was out of reach, so he decided to buy ten shells first and put them in the bottom of the box. If it was not enough, he would buy it back.

Click the screen in the palm of your right hand and enter the auxiliary store. Select the battle supplies column. Spend 500,000 gold coins to buy ten grenades with a diameter of 120mm. [The price of the previous items was slightly adjusted, and the unit price of the shell was set to be 50,000 yuan]

A line of prompts appeared on the screen: After purchasing combat supplies for large weapons, they will be automatically filled into the bullet chamber. The remaining 11 120mm shells in the main battle tank of Mekava.

"Yes, this saves effort, otherwise such a large bunch of shells would be difficult to hide." Lin Yu was very satisfied with the system's function.

Lin Yu checked the selling price of diesel again, and the price was 10,000 gold coins per 10 liters. After calculating, he spent 600,000 gold coins to buy 600 liters of diesel, which was also directly filled into the fuel tank by the system.

From Nanjing to Fengyang is about 200 kilometers. The main battle tank of Mekava needs to consume 200 liters of fuel for every 100 kilometers, leaving 200 liters of combat use. Lin Yu felt that it was almost enough.

This time, the Qing army was even more powerful. In addition to the 170,000 troops led by Duoduo, and Abatai and Wu Sangui who came to support him from Henan, the total force of attacking Fengyang exceeded 300,000, and the chance of winning alone was not great.

Duoduo and his civil and military officials are not fools, they learn from their mistakes. They were caught off guard in Yangzhou last time, and this time they might come up with some way to deal with him!

Nanjing City is densely populated, with traffic on the streets and Mercava is huge. Although Jinwu Guard is driving the way in front, Lin Yu still took half an hour to get out of Nanjing City and arrive at Yingtian Guard Camp.

From a distance, I saw 12,000 Ming soldiers ready to go, with artillery battalions, cavalry battalions, musket battalions, bow and arrow battalions, and infantry battalions arranged in a square formation, neatly and orderly, and the flags swayed in the wind.

Wei Guangdong, commander of Yingtianwei, commander Xu Gongji, commander Zhu Youliang, and more than a dozen thousand households under his command were all wearing helmets and armor. After the armored car arrived, he went to Wuma Ferry to cross the river north.

Lin Yu opened the hatch door and greeted the three main generals of Ying Tianwei: "Are the weapons and horses ready, several generals?"

Wei Guangdong bowed and said, "If you want to go back to the governor, our soldiers will be assembled, and we will just wait for your order."

Lin Yu nodded: "No, it's all gathering in an hour and a half. You Ying Tianwei can be considered well-trained. Wait for a moment, Lord Lu, and when he comes, we will lead our troops north."

Lin Yu asked again: "How are Cao Jiangjun preparing?"

Xu Gongji bowed and said, "Report to the Governor, Admiral Fang sent someone to inform him, saying that the Caojiang army was going to take a warship to Kuabu first, then heading north along the Chuhe River, and finally entering Gaoyou Lake in Chuzhou, and landing there."

Lin Yu was furious when he heard this and shouted: "I am the chief general of this reinforcement army. What power does the other side have to do with Guoan? Can he reach Fengyang in three days after he had a round trip between Jiang's army?"

Anyone with discerning eyes knows that the reason Cao Jiangjun did this was to drag behind and let Ying Tianwei soldiers take the lead.

Wei Guangdong naturally did not want to be cannon fodder. After hearing Lin Yu's words, he echoed: "What the governor said is very true. Rescue soldiers are like putting out fires. You can reach Fengyang by marching by land for two days and two nights. Fang Guoan is far away and is suspected of fear of war."

"Why would you like to summon Admiral Fang and General Zheng to discuss it?" Xu Gongjifu proposed.

"No need!"

Lin Yu refused, "This governor is the commander, and the military orders are as high as a mountain. He must obey the Jiang army. I will not accept any rebuttal!"

Lin Yu said and explained the Shangfang sword at his waist and handed it to Zhu Youliang: "Zhu Qianshi took my Shangfang sword to the Caojiang Army camp and ordered Fang Guoan and Zheng Hongkui to abandon his boat and land. Before dark, be sure to cross the river. Follow the soldiers of Yingtianwei to go north by land, and do not make any mistakes!"

Isn’t you Zhu Youliang a royal family? Isn’t you Zhu Youliang arrogant? Isn’t you Zhu Youliang awesome? Then you urge the Caojiang army to go ashore. This is called utilizing people’s strengths and leveraging their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses.

Zhu Youliang happily accepted the order: "The last one will obey the order!"

Looking at Zhu Youliang's back as he left, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The army of the Southern Ming Dynasty has its own ulterior motives, it would be strange if it can defeat the Qing army! I, as the governor, have no name and no truth. In the future, I must establish my own direct troops in order to gain a place in this troubled times."

As soon as Zhu Youliang left, Fang Yizhi and Chen Zhenhui brought a stack of military uniforms with them.

This is specially designed for military staff to wear. Although they do not need to go to the battlefield to kill enemies, they should also be uniformly dressed and cannot be worn as messy as a vegetable market.

Lin Yu was about to ask how many bodies he had received when he saw Fang Yizhi throwing it to the ground and said angrily: "The Ministry of War is responsible for managing the equipment. Ruan Dacheng. These torn clothes were given by his military department department staff. Governor, what are they like?"

Lin Yu took it and saw that except for the ones bitten by a mouse, the sleeves were tilted and the collar was slanted. He laughed and said, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. The Ministry of War wants you to wear them cooler. There is no need to repair the holes. Cut off the sleeves with crooked ones. Just wear them like this!"

Wei Guangdong is dependent on Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying on weekdays. He couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this: "Haha... the governor is really magnanimous. It is probably because the War War War Warehouse found a mouse."

After waiting for half an hour, Lu Daqi, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who served as the military supervisor, came late with dozens of servants: "Oh... I have been waiting for Governor Lin for a long time. There are so many things in the family, so I came late."

Lin Yu did not give Lu Daqi a good look and said with a cold face: "Lord Lu lives in the temple at a high place and is used to being idle. He will definitely not be used to going to the battlefield. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."

Lu Daqi looked embarrassed: "Haha... I do not want to go, but I can't disobey my order, so I can only give up this old bone!"

"I'm going to order that the whole army will set off, and must cross the Yangtze River before dark and march towards Fengyang overnight!"

With Lin Yu's order, 12,000 Ming troops followed behind the Mekava tank and lined up in neat formations to head straight for the Five Horse Ferry.

Half an hour later, the army arrived at Wumadu. Qianhu under Wei Guangdong had prepared warships. Lin Yu was about to drive the tanks to the large ship to cross the river when he saw a militia team carrying red tassels and spears, lined up from a distance.

"Who is coming?" A hundred households led a team of Ming troops to block the road and ask.

The person in charge was Zhang Shenyan's youngest son Zhang Chenglin. He was wearing white armor, white combat boots, a sword hanging on his waist, and a white silk wrapped around his head. He whispered loudly: "I am Zhang Chenglin, the son of Zhang Shenyan, the Minister of Personnel. He was ordered by his father to lead 500 private soldiers to join Governor Lin and follow him to help Fengyang."

I heard that these people came to help fight the Tartars, so the hundred-household immediately came to the armored car and reported: "Report to the Governor, there is a man who claims to be Zhang Ge Lao's youngest son Zhang Chenglin. He led 500 private soldiers to join you, saying that he would follow you to help Fengyang."

"That's great. There is finally a direct line in this team that belongs to me."

Lin Yu was overjoyed when he received the report and ordered Jiang Ruhua and the other two to continue cat in the cockpit and wait for him to go down to meet Zhang Chenglin.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you wait for the funeral of the Pavilion Master to cross the river?" Lin Yu passed through the mighty army and greeted Zhang Chenglin.

Zhang Chenglin looked tragic and bowed and said, "My father was very ill. When he heard that the Tartars had slaughtered Sizhou, he was even more sad and angry, vomiting blood three liters. Before he died, he repeatedly told the villain not to wait for his funeral, and asked me to follow the governor across the river to help Zhongdu, so he came to surrender!"

Lin Yu looked around and saw that the private soldiers of the Zhang family were all covered with white clothes, their white clothes were as white as snow, and they looked like tragic as the water was whistling and the west wind was cold, and the whole house was as tragic as snow.

In the current Southern Ming court, Zhang Shenyan is one of the few upright and capable officials. Unfortunately, he is old and passed away. This shows that even God does not bless the Ming Dynasty. The so-called energy has been exhausted, and that is the case!

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I, Lin Zhenjiang, swear to lift the siege of Fengyang to comfort Mr. Zhang's spirit in heaven!"

Lin Yu patted Zhang Chenglin on the shoulder. This man was strong in body and strong in limbs. He was obviously a trainer. "I promoted you to the fourth standard of the Lin family army. His rank was equivalent to that of a thousand households and he was in charge of one thousand people."

"I will definitely live up to the entrusted command of the governor!" Zhang Chenglin bowed with a serious expression.

Lin Yu used to be just a deputy garrison, and the team he managed could only be called "Battle". But now he has reached the high position of the governor, so the teams under his command can no longer use "Battle" as units, so Lin Yu called it the "Lin Family Army".

Lin Yu looked at the team behind Zhang Chenglin. There was no helmet, no armor, and no battle robe. They were all wearing coarse white clothes and covered with white hair. The weapons were mainly spears and red tassel guns. There were fifty archers, more than a dozen combs and hunting rifles.

Lin Yu called Lu Daqi to the front and said in an unrefutable tone: "For the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Biaotong did not even attend the funeral of Zhang Ge Lao. I hope Lord Lu will go to the Ministry of War to allocate five hundred armor, fifty war horses, and one hundred muskets to equip this team."

Lu Daqi looked embarrassed and pinched his nose and said, "The Caojiang army continues to recruit soldiers, the equipment is tight, and the Ministry of War does not have much inventory. I will go to the Ministry of War and do my best!"
