Chapter 172 Drone reconnaissance dispatch

As the roar of the engine fades away, the perspective on the screen leaves the ground and gradually changes to the entire runway, and then the entire Army barracks.

The soldiers who were training in the camp heard the roar of the engine, looked at the drone flying overhead, threw their hats and cheered. Under the instructor's shout, they quickly picked up their hats and continued training.

Looking at the movements of the soldiers in the camp, the several regimental leaders looked at each other, and I remembered that Chongzhen often used a small drone to go to the military camp.

In other words, any changes in the army barracks and whether they were slacking off were all seen.

Fan Fucui and other people who had not had much contact with him had stood up involuntarily, staring at the screen, with countless thoughts in their minds.

"I congratulate Your Majesty. With this magical weapon, there will be no war in the world. Everything will be a chessboard. Your Majesty's ancestors will always have an absolute advantage.

The barbarians can stand in the way of our Ming army, but the slaves will be vulnerable to a single blow.

The Ming Dynasty will last for ten thousand years, and your Majesty will live for ten thousand years!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! The Ming Dynasty will last for ten thousand years, and Your Majesty will live for ten thousand years!"

A group of people looked at Zhang Sizhi with razor blades in their eyes. This guy was so flattering that they felt physically uncomfortable.

After Chongzhen accepted it calmly, he asked them to sit down and continue watching. At the same time, he pointed an infrared pen to the map on another screen and explained to them the current flight path of the drone.

After the drone flew to Shanhaiguan, everyone looked at Shanhaiguan, which seemed to be very close but small and pitiful. Suddenly, everyone had a feeling that Shanhaiguan was nothing more than this.

Under modern technology, the strongest barrier in ancient times, the Throat of the Ming Dynasty, seems to be nothing more than a haphazardly demolished building with flaws everywhere.

In less than an hour, the drone with a cruising speed of 500 kilometers has arrived at Xingshan. At this time, it is only more than 20 kilometers away from Songshan, and the back road camp can gradually be seen.

Flying over Songshan, which was almost empty, as the battlefield gradually approached, everyone saw scenes they had never seen before, and Chongzhen also began to feel that the system's capabilities were limited.

"Now we are about to reach the front line, Wang Banban, prepare to lower the altitude to two hundred meters.

According to Hong Aiqing, Huangtaiji is in the direction of Rufeng Mountain, and the two yellow flags are clearly visible, so distinguish them carefully."

"I understand."

Following Chongzhen's instructions on the intercom, Wang Chengen, who had already flown over the Songshan Camp, received the order and began to lower the flight altitude.

What is the concept of a legion battle with nearly 200,000 people?

The entire linear range of more than ten kilometers between Songshan Mountain and Rufeng Mountain has been occupied by six regiments facing each other in pairs.

There were people all over the mountains and plains, surrounding the intersection of the two armies that was more than ten kilometers long and one kilometer wide. It was impossible to tell who was from which side.

Since the battle of Dalinghe, the firearms of the Qing army have been no different from those of the Ming Dynasty, including improved Folang machines, matchlocks and flintlocks, large cannons, and shotguns.

The firepower was the same, and they had been firing at each other for a long time to temporarily finish the gunpowder on the front line. The hand-to-hand exchange between the two sides could not last more than an hour.

When the drone arrived, the two sides were in the most intense and primitive stage of fighting, hand-to-hand fighting.

"I can see that not far outside Songshan Mountain, the high platform in the middle is Hong Aiqing's military camp.

Now the three groups on the left, front, and right of the Songshan camp are already fighting Jiannu, and both sides are working hard to advance towards the opposite side.

Uh, the right side doesn’t count.”

The left path and the front path are both inserting each other, making it difficult to distinguish each other. Only the right path is being inserted slowly without integration. Shuai Qi is almost running to the Chinese Army Headquarters.

Fortunately, there were many people on the right, and another flag troop was interspersed, so it didn't collapse.

The drones that flew quickly gradually penetrated deep into the Qing army camp, and the fire bullets that kept flying could not reach the drones a hundred meters above.

In other words, insufficient prediction and the speed of the aircraft made it impossible for them to hit it.

"What we are facing now should be Huangtaiji's handsome tent. Let me see where Huangtaiji's son is. Wang Banban, pay attention to your perspective."

Chongzhen looked at the screen with excitement, wanting to see the panic on Ming's old rival's face.

Only after flying over the entire camp did Chongzhen realize that with the pixels and height transmitted in real time by the drone, it seemed unrealistic to see Huangtaiji.

"I can only hope that a high-definition camera can capture it. Wang Banban, remember to fly two more times and take photos of all the arrangements of the slaves."

"I received it."

Wang Chengen continued to fly, while Chongzhen began a formal meeting.

"My dear friends, as you can see, before the Royal Army can take the initiative to attack, the slaves have already mobilized in full force at this moment.

On the battlefield we just saw, there were tens of thousands of Jiannu warriors. According to past records, the Eight Banners has been fully established after years of repairs.

If we add Han slaves, Mongolian cavalry, civilians, and slaves, the number of slaves can reach more than 160,000.

However, Songshan only has seven battalions with 140,000 men, and 10,000 or 20,000 men are enough to influence the situation of the war. This is the fate of the country. If we do not provide timely support, our country will be in danger."

"Excuse me, please mobilize the Royal Army immediately and set out the day after tomorrow. Drone airdrops will be carried out simultaneously to support Governor Hong.

If an incendiary bomb were dropped at Huangtaiji's general camp, Huangtaiji would most likely be burned to death, and the Jiannu group would be leaderless, and the crisis in Jinzhou would immediately dissipate."

Sun Chuanting stood up and reported.

"Well, the airdrop can wait until the Royal Army arrives, and others will continue to add."

Then several people began to report, and Chongzhen watched silently. If anyone acted like it had nothing to do with him at this time, or wanted to hold him back, he would tell him to get out.

"All cabinet committees are present."

"I'm here!"

All the ministers stood and looked at Chongzhen.

"I order the Red Dragon Regiment, White Tiger Regiment, and Xuanwu Regiment of the Royal Army to regroup immediately and take the oath to set off in two days.

The Cabinet Committee held the Ministry of War hostage and acted as the command team for this war."

"Royal Army, fight to the death! The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! Your Majesty will live forever!"

"I ordered Liu Zunxian and the Ministry of Industry to work day and night to provide gunpowder concentrate. Gao Banban, the Gunpowder Department went all out to produce gunpowder.

Li Daiwen asked, and the Ministry of Household Affairs immediately allocated funds. All items that the ministries needed to purchase urgently, regardless of price, were given priority to purchase, and all military rations and meat were prepared.

Li Ruolian and the Jinyiwei Propaganda Department tried their best to let all Zhili people know about the Royal Army's expedition.

The remaining ministries, including the Auxiliary Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, prepare for the Royal Army's expedition."

"I obey the decree! The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! Your Majesty will live forever!"

After shouting in unison, everyone who sat down again discussed the details of what to do, and then left.

Only the generals of the Royal Army, Li Ruolian and Chen Xinjia were left waiting in the tent.

After Wang Chengen brought the disk over, Chongzhen plugged it into the computer. According to Chen Ye's written guidance and the few memories of the operations, he decoded the picture and started playing it.

"Dear dear friends, this is the entire area from Songshan to Jinzhou, taken by a drone from an altitude of 200 meters.

Now let’s take a look at Jiannu’s camp layout, military strength, and logistics.”

Several people sat close to the front and began to record on the drawings in front of them based on the pictures on the screen.

"Huang Degong, tell me."

"Back to Your Majesty, I judge from the map that not all of the main force of the slave establishment has arrived, and Governor Hong has also partially stopped.

Judging from the picture, Jiannu should have only four flags fighting against Governor Hong, namely two blue flags and half, two white flags and half, two yellow flags and two red flags and half.

Due to the location of the two blue flags, the left road cannot be placed on the mountain road, so it seems that there is only one flag of troops, and our army also only has one troop of troops.

The two yellow flags and the two red flags are at Rufeng Mountain. It seems that there are enough personnel, but there are fewer yellow flags and more red flags, and there are only two flags personnel in total. I infer that Huang Taiji is conserving his strength at the rear.

The right army was attacked by the vanguard of the two white flags and was unable to fight back..."

Chongzhen touched his chin. The function of this drone was really powerful. After walking around and taking a photo from the air, he could clearly see the deployment of all the troops on the opposite side.

With the help of everyone, the marching arrangements of the Manchu camp, the location of Huangtai Ji's camp, the route of logistics transportation to Jinzhou, the Daling River, and the grain storage location of Yizhou Fort were all made clear.

Now Chongzhen knows better than Huangtai Ji how much wealth he has.

"Well, the people in Jinzhou are indeed scattered. Their main camp is in the outer city of Jinzhou. Aren't you afraid that Zu Dashou will suddenly attack?"

"It seems that there are many Mongolian soldiers over there, and there are also Han troops guarding them with firearms."

The Han army was among the slaves who were relatively good at using firearms. This may have something to do with their personality.

"Alright, dear friends, hurry up and prepare. This expedition will bring out the majesty of our Ming Royal Army."

After Chongzhen finished his instructions, he took a high-definition photo of a man wearing yellow armor, hiding behind a horse, whose eyes could not be seen clearly, but he was indeed looking at the sky.

This is taken from a high-definition picture taken of Huangtaiji General Camp.

Based on the performance of the group of soldiers around him, as well as the color of the armor on his body, as well as the vague patterns, Chongzhen boldly speculated that he was Huangtai Ji.

After quickly passing the picture to Chen Ye, and passing the analysis of Huangtaiji to Hong Chengchou, Chongzhen stood up and left the camp.

After the entire capital returned from the Six Ministers, they began to get busy. Orders left the capital one after another and were delivered to various prefectures.

The Propaganda Department was also mobilized under the leadership of Wang Chengen and Li Ruolian. The Propaganda Department branches of various governments further away also began preparations after the telegraph operators of the Royal Merchant Company received the information.

Just as the First Regiment of the Capital was preparing, a team of Royal Guards and the Royal Army escorted the movie player, radio station, and a signal box via the canal to Jining Prefecture, Shandong Province.

Accompanying them are the Royal Army cadets who preside over the Royal Merchant House. These cadets are the latest batch of emergency graduates. Their training time is longer than those in the Army, and their thoughts are purer and more energetic.

At this time, the canal was particularly tense due to Li Qingshan's rebellion in Liangshan, but fortunately, the Ming army in Shandong on the west bank had sufficient manpower and could still operate normally.

After landing ashore, Fan Cai, a Royal Army cadet who led the team, directed others to move the fleet's belongings ashore. The group of people, each with their own identity, totaled more than 200 people.

The people from the Jining Water Transport Department looked at this mixed group, including guards in uniforms and people in strange costumes like sergeants. They were all talking to each other. Since the arrival of the fleet had been arranged in advance, no one asked for trouble.
