Chapter 66: The Point of No Return

Friends come with good wine, jackals come with shotguns.

The anti-Jin rescue ** did not go straight to Sanlipu and the Jin army inlaid white flags to fight to the death, but quietly entered the Zou family fort, which was only about eight miles away from Sanlipu.

Zoujiabaozi is just an inconspicuous place, and the name of the place may be derived from the fact that the people who lived here earlier were all surnamed Zou. If it weren't for the staff officers in charge of exploration saying that this place was the best place to block Sanlipu, perhaps no one would have the heart to find out what this place was called.

Sanlipu is a wide strip of land with a radius of forty or fifty square miles, in the shape of a triangle, with the north and south ends of the Da'anping River and the lower reaches of the Hunjiang River respectively, and the Yalu River to the east.

The west side is where the Zou family fort is located is the only passage in and out of Sanlipu, and the narrowest place is where Wei Gonggong stands at this time, according to the officers and soldiers who are familiar with this place, this place is called "big gap".

The reason why it is called the big gap is because this area was not land many years ago, but the confluence of the Anping River and the Hunjiang River, and then I don't know which year the great flood caused the Hunjiang River to be diverted to the south, so that this area slowly evolved into land, and it looks like God has made a hole in the triangle of Sanlipu.

And this opening will also be the key to this battle.

Whether or not the Sanlipu with the white flag in the mouth can be directly related to whether Wei Gonggong's maritime industry will collapse.

This is also what Jia Daquan cares about the most, he doesn't care who Father-in-law Wei is fighting with, he only cares about whether he can get the compensation in time.

After accompanying Gonggong Wei for a turn, Jia Daquan was completely relieved, even if he didn't know how to fight, he also knew that unless Jiannu put on wings, they would never come out again.

Dirtwork, fresh.

I really don't know what Grandpa Wei's head thinks, he can think of such a good way, no wonder people can be expensive at a young age, but they are just an errand runner.

Jia Daquan couldn't help but think of a better tomorrow with envy.

There is a sentence that Gonggong Wei said that he agrees with very much, and that sentence is about fighting.

Father-in-law Wei said that fighting a war is the same as giving usury, there must be a return, whether it is silver, women, or land, as long as there is a return, this battle can be fought, if there is no return, it is better to fart at home.

For what kind of benevolence and face to fight, it is purely a brain to kick the donkey!

"It's like when our emperor went to North Korea to help people fight, not to mention that he didn't get a penny of benefits, and he also put the treasury upside down, do you think this battle is worth it? Then the Japanese don't lose money, why don't the Koreans lose money, our emperor is a bad brain..."

What Father-in-law Wei said at the time was a bit too high.

Jia Daquan, I just haven't heard of it.

He has suffered a lot in the past two days, in order not to be discovered by Jiannu, he accompanied Wei Gonggong to squat in the trench for two days.

Eating and drinking Lazar are all in it, but imagine how uncomfortable the taste is.

Fortunately, it's finally harvest time.

........

The temporary establishment of the Civil Engineering Operations Department by Xu Xiantun has really made a great contribution.

In order to make more rational and effective use of manpower, Xu Xianchun organized the soldiers with the army into a "three-three system" system, that is, 20 people were in a small group, three teams were a small team, three small teams were a squadron, three teams were a large team, and three major teams were a general team.

In this way, more than 8,000 soldiers and civilians were organized into six corps, which were responsible for each layer of responsibility, which not only ensured that the orders could be lowered in time, but also ensured the order and work efficiency of the people.

When there was no organization in the beginning, the people were organized by their own origins, and the management was relatively chaotic and lax, and even the language was not compatible, resulting in an order having to be repeated and repeatedly colluded by many people.

Now, it is more like an assembled carriage in every way, and the carriage can turn quickly with a pull of the rope by the coachman.

This can be seen from the fact that it took most of the people to build a large camp in the beginning, and now it only takes an hour and a half to build a large camp.

If you're digging a trench alone, it's faster.

The rapid efficiency also benefited from the temporary training of the responsible personnel of each corps by the Civil Operations Department in charge of Xu Xianchun, as well as the surveying and mapping staff officers who paid for surveying and mapping the area for many days, and also benefited from the actual geotechnical operations in the southwest of Zoujiabaozi.

After the anti-Jin rescue ** advanced to Zoujiabao, he immediately eliminated the heavy men and horses left by the Jin army here, beheaded more than 100 Jin soldiers, and captured more than 400 Han Aha who served as hard labor with the army.

Subsequently, the anti-gold rescue ** departments took Zou Jiabao as the core to set up a temporary defensive position, and arrived at the big gap under the command of the civil engineering department, and each entered the operation area in an orderly manner according to the flag sign, using shovels and wheelbarrows as weapons, and dug a trench about three miles long, about one zhang wide and about one zhang deep in the big gap in just half a day.

The excavated soil was quickly transported to the Zou Jiabao in the back to build the defense system of the Ming army's battalion. The big gap was originally a river channel, and the trench dug was flooded not long after, and the deepest part was half a man's waist deep, and the shallow part was up to the knee.

The soldiers of the two squadrons of the infantry advanced from both sides of the trench, and their task was to insert a truckload of bamboo thorns into the water.

The trench is not one, nor is it a large gap unilaterally dug in the direction of Sanlipu, but with Zoujiabao as the center, both sides must be excavated to form a three-dimensional defense system.

When the soldiers and civilians were struggling, Gonggong Wei was not idle, his old man was rolling his trouser legs and fishing in a shallow pond with Jia Daquan and others.

There are still a lot of fish in this shallow pond, but the water is also very deep, and the fish in it can be caught so easily. After soaking wet and catching two fish less than the size of a palm, Father-in-law Wei got angry and asked the guards to find a large bucket and vowed to scoop up the water in the pond.

How can you get the air force when you come out, if you can't get fish, you can get shrimp, and if you can't get shrimp, you can get other people's chickens and ducks...

While Gonggong Wei was busy making fish, there was a small river about three miles to the east of the big gap, and the blood stained the river red.

Because there were so many corpses of people and horses, this section of the river no longer flowed, and became a dead river, emitting a foul fishy smell.

Discarded weapons and armor were everywhere on the shore and by the river, rotten flags were everywhere, and wounded horses struggled and neighed.

The battle is not over yet, Long Guda has already bet all the last strength at hand, and he has already made a desperate bet!

He had no choice, if he couldn't recapture Zou Jiabao, the entire white flag would be surrounded by the Ming army in Sanlipu.

"Lord Ezhen, I can't fight, the firearms of the Ming army are too powerful, let's withdraw first!"

Niu Lu's face was covered with blood, his leather armor was torn and barely hung on his body, and the wound on his left arm was still oozing blood.

The sudden emergence of the Ming army from behind the buttocks, as well as the complex terrain of this area, made Nomin realize that their banner master was leading them to a point of no return.
