Chapter 198: Changfeng Ridge

Changfeng Ridge has now become an important defensive node of the Qing army, it is different from Huangshiji, it can be said that Changfeng Ridge is directly related to the back road of Anqing City, if Changfeng Ridge is taken, it means that Anqing has become a complete lonely city.

If it really becomes a lonely city, then the situation will be even more severe, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers and the people in the city, Yue Zhongqi naturally understands this truth, he directly sent his deputy general Wang Yonghe to lead three thousand elites to garrison in Changfeng Ridge, and he can also use Anqing City as horns to share the pressure on defense.

Changfeng Ridge, which was originally just a barren mountain range, had been stationed with a full 3,000 people at this time, and they built a simple hut and grass hut on the mountain, and also dug trenches and fortifications for artillery defense, which were also designed by Yue Zhongqi according to the current attack method of the Fu Han army, and many soldiers were patrolling back and forth.

According to Yue Zhongqi's study of the tactics of the Fu Han army, it can be found that before the Fu Han army launched an offensive, it would use a large amount of artillery fire to cover the opponent's position, and then send an attacking force, and the attacking force would start to fire multiple rounds of salvo fire at the place after the formation was formed, so as to achieve the purpose of weakening the opponent's strength and morale.

At this point, if the other party has not collapsed, then the Fu Han army will use grenades and bayonets to carry out the last wave of life-and-death duels.

Because of this, Yue Zhongqi discovered the practicality of trench tactics, when his own artillery is inferior to the other party, he can use trench fortifications to avoid artillery casualties, and then he can also use trench shelter to shoot at the Fu Han army, that is, to take the road of completely dumb battles, as for the last step of hand-to-hand combat, in Yue Zhongqi's opinion, it is unavoidable, but as long as it can bring heavy casualties to the Fu Han army, then it is worth it.

In the case of the existing troops and equipment, Yue Zhongqi can be regarded as racking his brains, and came up with such a method that is not a way, that is, to form a hard village, fight a dumb battle, and fight with the Fu Han army through the way of fighting consumption, but he inadvertently created the tactics of shaving his head in later generations in advance.

The big guy is digging a trench hard, the sweat of the bean can break eight petals on the ground, from time to time some people complain of misery, and even some people dig and dig and fall to the ground, can no longer stand up, these soldiers are not enough to eat and wear on weekdays, and the ribs on their bodies can be seen clearly, and now they suddenly do such a rough job, and some people can't bear it.

Shangguan said to let him dig, but he didn't say why he wanted to dig, which made many green battalion soldiers a little unhappy, so they secretly colluded and complained, and later even complained blatantly and directly, what money was not enough, and it was really not cost-effective to do such a fatal errand.

Later, even those thousands of general guards were a little impatient, and in desperation, everyone had no choice but to nominate a green camp garrison and go to Wang Yonghe to ask for an explanation, hoping to reduce the burden on the brothers.

"Lord Qiyu, the brothers on the mountain all said that they didn't have the strength to dig a ditch, and they said that they were here to fight, not to dig a ravine.....

A green battalion garrison reported the situation in front of the deputy general Wang Yonghe, just looking at his eyebrows, he was afraid that he was not happy. Who is good and decent who is not here to fight? For example, digging in the ground every day, but it is boring to be in vain.

Wang Yonghe was also a little puzzled in his heart, but fortunately, there was one thing, he implemented Shangguan's ideas 100%, even if he didn't understand, he would do it, which was also the reason why he could be reused by Yue Zhongqi, he could be stupid, he could be stupid, but he definitely couldn't be disobedient.

"You people, really let you pick up your shotguns and fight to the death with the Fu Han army under the mountain, do you dare? Those who dare can put down their hoes now, pick up your shotguns, and follow Lao Tzu down! Wang Yonghe has a rough temperament, and when he encounters a problem, he is not willing to solve the problem in detail, and only thinks about solving the person who raised the problem.

Hearing Wang Yonghe's reply, the Green Camp garrison was a little depressed, he knew that Wang Yonghe's temper had come up at this time, if he was entangled again, he would be unlucky at that time, but the brothers under his command were not easy to explain, and they couldn't advance or retreat for a while.

"Why don't you get out of here? Are you still waiting for Lord Ben to dig it for you personally? "Wang Yonghe is not angry, he has always had no good temper for this group of soldiers who are not long-sighted, and now at this critical time, Lord Yue is asking three times a day, if something goes wrong, it will be him General Wang who will take the blame.

An embarrassed look appeared on the guard's face, and then he saluted and left the place quickly, while Wang Yonghe was still fantasizing about the day when he would be crowned a knight in the future, and his whole spirit was a little better.

The Sixth Garrison Division led by Qian Ying himself has returned to the bottom of the mountain from the side, with a total of 8,000 men and horses, responsible for the offensive and defensive tasks of the entire Changfeng Ridge.

A large number of soldiers of the Fu Han Army lined up in formation, but they were not in a hurry to attack the mountain, but first relieved the 12 artillery pieces of the division, and roughly built their own artillery positions.

Qian Ying looked at the rugged mountains, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, this was the first battle he was responsible for independently since he defected to the Fu Han Army, and there were many people who were not convinced at the beginning, after all, if he attacked Changfeng Ridge alone, if he took it, it would be a great achievement, and because of this, the garrison of the Sixth Division had to complete the beautiful ground, if there was any mistake, the spitting stars could drown people.

The previous attack on Huangshiji was directly sent to the main division, which was not only to ensure that it was more correct, but also to give the main division a sweetness, and now Changfengling has become the object of contention between the second garrison division, the fifth garrison division and the sixth division.

In a sense, the qualifications of the Sixth Garrison Division are the shallower, and the main force composition is mainly composed of new recruits, plus some of the green battalions were surrendered at the beginning, and the officer class was drawn from other divisions of the Fu Han Army, although it has gone through more than a month of training, but after all, it is difficult to quickly adapt to the battlefield, which is also the problem that Qian Ying was worried about at the beginning.

But just when Qian Ying also thought that this time the result was still to accompany the prince to study, Ning Yu unexpectedly made a direct decision, and made the Sixth Division, which was mainly composed of recruits, the first choice for attacking Changfengling.

This made Qian Ying nervous and excited, but he was never afraid, the more people from the green camp were able to perceive all the loopholes in the other party's body, and then stabbed the bayonet into it.
