Liu Heng immediately sent the good news back to Longkou, and then summoned Li Ran, Lin Yi and Huang Yao to discuss the next move.

"Now our infantry battalion, cavalry battalion, and artillery battalion have landed successfully and repelled the Qing army's attack. Let's enter the important link of encirclement and conquer Zhenjiang." Liu Heng said to the three of them: "If we cannot conquer Zhenjiang, we can cooperate with Zhenjiang on the south bank of the Yalu River. There may be a leak at that time, so we must conquer the Zhenjiang line as soon as possible and completely block the river surface in the southeast."

"What does the Chief of Staff mean?" Li Ran asked.

"How about the Ming Dynasty attacking Zhenjiang? Huang Taiji may have reached the south bank." Liu Heng said, "Although it is difficult for an infantry battalion to capture Zhenjiang, there will be no trouble with the cover of artillery and cavalry. When the first infantry battalion lands tomorrow, it can launch a general attack on Zhenjiang."

"No problem." All three of them agreed. Liu Heng's general staff commanded on the front line, mainly to give advice and give various action plans, and then to solicit opinions from each battalion, and the minority obeyed the majority.

The three battalions began to make progress. On the 11th day of the next day, the infantry battalion was in front and the artillery battalion was behind. The two wings of the cavalry battalion responded, and 15,000 people headed towards Zhenjiang in a mighty manner.

The captives and spoils were transported back to Longkou by ships, and the three warships advanced from the seaside cover brigade along the way, and it was only forty miles from the landing point to Zhenjiang.

If the Qing army dared to block the army's advance, they would first use artillery to scatter the formation, and then the cavalry rushed forward, and the infantry would follow and clean up the remaining Qing army on the battlefield.

This is a common tactic used by the Shandong Army and also the tactic used by Zhu Di. Currently, European tactics have begun to change to this method. The most important thing about such tactics is the quality of artillery and the quality of cavalry.

There is no need to worry about artillery. The Third Battalion and the Artillery Battalion have a large number of heavy artillery, and three warships escort them. If the Qing Dynasty comes, they will definitely not be able to take it.

Lin Yi's cavalry battalion has been in the army for more than three years. Although it has absorbed a large number of new recruits and only 4,000 people, it is the most elite in terms of training and equipment. The cavalry battalion with artillery assistance can definitely beat the Qing army several times.

Scouts came out everywhere and investigated the surrounding situation. The whole army was moving calmly, and the soldiers were excited again. They finally set foot on Liaodong, fought on this lost ground, and used Jiannu's blood to clean up the empire's shame.

Just as the entire army was looking forward to a big battle, a soldier from the Liaodong Special Operations Brigade brought a message that shocked the entire army.

"Has Man Qing retreated?" Liu Heng asked in disbelief.

"Yes, they all retreated, and Zhenjiang was gone." The special forces soldier with braids replied affirmatively.

"How is it possible! Their emperor is still in North Korea! Why do they retreat if they say retreat? Then they don't want the emperor anymore?" Lin Yi was very dissatisfied. As the main force of the battlefield, the cavalry battalion, before it showed its face on the battlefield! The enemy ran away? And he ran so simply that he did not do anything to symbolize the resistance of the surname.

"Originally, Haoge, Daishan, Duoduo and Jirgalang restrained each other. Haoge and Daishan were shot dead by our army, and Jirgalang restrained the Guanning army in western Liaoning again. The power in Liaodong has appeared. This Duoduo won the troops of Haoge and Daishan, and probably had ambitions." Liu Heng immediately guessed a rough idea, "Doduo retreated from Zhenjiang and must have taken over Chenyang."

"In this way, there is a problem within the Tartars. I originally thought that blocking Huang Taiji in North Korea, Liaodong would attack us frantically, but I didn't expect it to be like this. This battle is probably not so easy to fight." Lin Yi sighed.

"If they don't come to the door, at most, after conquering Liaodong, they will spend some effort to encircle and suppress it. If they lose Liaodong, the Tatars will lose their territory and will soon become weak."
