"Our army's position is deployed like this, how do you feel about it?"

The wind rose on the river, blowing the white sails of the wind hunters shuttling back and forth on the river. Those who arrived at the landing ground by the river were hurriedly unloading the iron shoulders of several battalions on board, as well as countless equipment, supplies, provisions, and ammunition.

The river wind blew the sails, and also blew the cloaks of Ye Qi and the others, and from a distance, more than a dozen people stood on a high platform built of wood, and the scarlet cloak was blown by the wind, looking majestic. The military flags of the people next to them also fluttered in the wind. This high platform is built on a small earthen bag on the embankment, making full use of the terrain. As far as the eye can see, due south, that is the camp of the Ruan family's army, and it is also a noisy scene of people coming and going, horses neighing and people shouting. Obviously, the Nanzhong Army's movement across the river was too fast, beyond their imagination, and then disrupted their deployment.

"The Guards Battalion drew out the strength of the left outpost and the two outposts, equipped with six six-pounder guns, and deployed them in front to monitor the movements of the Nguyen army. Wheat. Ye Qi affectionately called the nickname of Mai Daming, a battalion officer of the Phoenix Battalion, "Your brothers of the Phoenix Battalion are deployed on the left flank, and the troops of a sentry are also assigned to the front, and the rest of the troops are building a camp on the second line." Lao Huang, your Qilin Middle Battalion is deployed on the right flank, the same deployment. The brothers of the artillery team and the artillery division, together with the right outpost, the middle army, and the rear post of the guards battalion, were stationed in the main battalion. The brothers of the Iron Shoulder Brigade, there are currently five battalions that have landed in formation, so they worked hard and served as a guard in the rear battalion, responsible for protecting our army's grain routes, and liaising with the fleet on the north bank and in the middle of the river. ”

Seven or eight people stared at the simple camp deployment map on the table, this formation was actually a variation of the more common and common three-fold formation of the Ming army. Unlike the Triass, artillery emplacements were built in every direction where direct contact with the enemy was possible. The excavated soil was used to load cloth bags, and the artillery forts were densely piled up one by one, and the artillery forts pushed up high effectively prevented the enemy's artillery from killing and wounding the artillery and destroying the artillery. In view of the technical situation of artillery in this era, most of the shells are solid shells and scattered shells, and the specifications formulated by Shouhan for artillery, the requirements for the artillery fortress are only to use soil bags and wood, bamboo, etc. to build an excavation fortification, and it does not have to become a covered type, even if it encounters rain and snow weather, of course, it is difficult to have snow days in the southern and central regions, and each gun emplacement has a special rainproof tarpaulin, which can complete the loading and firing in the rain. The gunners could rely on these fortifications to easily tilt the shells into the enemy's formation.

With the artillery fortress as the firing point, deep trenches were dug around the perimeter. The trench was four feet deep and six feet wide, exactly the size that an adult could not cross in one step. Behind the ditch, within three to five steps, is a fence made of bamboo and timber cut from nearby. The walled wall is built according to the traditional Chinese camping method, with two layers inside and outside, slightly higher on the outside and slightly lower on the inside, but the wall of the Southern Chinese Army is filled with a large amount of earth. In this way, if the enemy uses artillery to attack the wall, the wall will be much more protected. In order to increase the protection capacity, the soldiers of the Iron Shoulder even tamped the soil with wooden rammers. In addition, on the wall, the shooting position was specially designed for the musketeers, and the firing port was dug up, and the figure-eight firing port not only ensured the firing angle of the musket, but also covered the safety of the musketeers to the greatest extent.

After the defense line began to take shape, behind the defense line, there was a scene in full swing. The soldiers of the Iron Shoulder Brigade transported the tents, provisions, cooking carts, and other baggage carried from the wind hunter ships to each camp according to the number of the troops, and then took charge of setting up camp.

According to the division of defense areas, the soldiers of each battalion divided their banners into their respective battalions according to the organizational level of battalion, sentry, team, and armor. Along the avenue straight from the Yuanmen, there were artillery emplacements and firing positions for muskets.

The soldiers unloaded the cotton tents of each armor from the baggage trucks, skillfully connected the camphor wood poles with metal interfaces at the two ends, and built the skeleton for their tents, and then, shouting the trumpet, put the thick cotton cloth on the skeleton, and then used the connecting rods to pass through the tent and connect with the original skeleton. Then, swing a sledgehammer and drive a large nail made of wrought iron into the ground and fix the tent with a rope.

After the tent was erected, the soldiers quickly picked up shovels and dug a circle of drainage ditches one foot deep and two feet wide along the perimeter of the tent, and compacted the lower edge of the tent with the excavated soil. At the same time, the drainage ditch was connected to several trenches outside the camp, forming a complete drainage system, which discharged the rainwater from the camp area to the outside of the camp and became an integral part of the fortifications.

The camps of each A, each team, each outpost, and each battalion are neatly arranged on the alluvial plain by the river like a chessboard.

On the river, the Wind Hunter Fleet sent three or four sentinel ships upstream and downstream to take on the task of vigilance.

Looking down from above, the situation of Ye Qi's department has steadily occupied an undefeated trend. Although there is a large river on the way to the rear, the wind hunters in the river properly act as a bridge and link, and countless supplies are transported to the south bank by the wind hunters.

Under the blowing of the river breeze, the sun gradually set, and the afterglow dyed the surface of the river as red as blood. As night fell, the lights in the camp were turned on, and under the organization of the chiefs of the outposts, the men began to prepare dinner by the cooking carts.

In the stove of the cooking cart, coals were burning, and several men in white aprons were waving spatulas preparing dinner for their brothers. The air was filled with a strong aroma of fish, pork, eggs, rice, and various vegetables wafting over the camp. Soldiers lined up in front of the cooking cart with their iron rice bowls and plates, ready to eat.

Along with the wind, the fragrance drifted south, and a few soldiers of the Ruan family army lying in the grass twitched their noses greedily, "The taste of stewed fish!" ”

"The taste of meat!"

"The smell of scrambled eggs!"

"It's like duck stew!"

"These guys, the food is really good!" A few black and thin soldiers of the Ruan family army looked at the lights opposite, which was nothing less than a town. They looked at the light with greed, jealousy, and resentment, and took a bite of the cold rice ball in their hands.

In the big camp, Ye Qi and several battalion officers had already finished dinner and were discussing the next step of the war in Ye Qi's big tent.

Now, the only thing that hinders Ye Qi's progress is the bamboo stick array that spans several miles in length and width.

"This thing is really annoying! If we want to break through, within the range of the Ruan family's artillery, the brothers will have to face the Ruan family's artillery with their flesh and blood! Mak Daming was a little worried.

Huang Lei tightened his eyebrows, and fiddled with the bamboo skewers pulled out by the outpost soldiers, four-foot-long bamboo skewers, about an inch and a half wide, and the upper end was sharpened.

"My lord, there is a foolish opinion under the mark, which can break through the Ruan family's bamboo stick array. However, I'm afraid the cost is high. "Yellowstone has something to say.

Ye Qi frowned almost imperceptibly. This Huang Shi'an is good at leading troops, he is willing to use his brains in battle, and he can also take the lead, but he is not good at all, he does things and speaks, some are sloppy, and some are hesitant.

"Lao Huang, if you have any ideas, just say it, and put it aside if it costs nothing. Your idea is not bright, let's hear it first. Mai Daming sat on the horse with a big grin, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the corner of his cloak.

"That's it! Ah Shi, how can you talk like a girl with such a big body? "Huang Leiting and Huang Shi'an are of the same family, although they belong to different houses, but after all, they can't write two yellow characters in one stroke. In detail, Huang Leiting is still Huang Shi'an's elder, and there is some excuse in his words.

"Column, the opposite is the bamboo stick, when the brothers of the artillery division put the column to test the gun, I happened to be there, a cannon passed, within dozens of zhang, there is a path, where the shells go, these," he pointed to the bamboo sticks in his hand, "or destroyed by the shells, burned, or pushed down, no longer become an obstacle to the advance of our army." Therefore, it is marked as ......"

"You want to open the way with artillery fire?!" Huang Shi'an's words made Huang Lei jump up. "You know, how much silver does a solid cannonball cost? What about gunpowder?! Also, our artillery, how many cannons can be fired is counted, you use all the shells to open the way, when you turn back to fight the rebels in the south, how can you support your artillery fire?! Unless, unless. Huang Leiting also began to snort in his mouth.

What he meant was understood by several battalion officers present, "Unless you use the proud weapon of an adult, a rocket." ”

Several people were speechless at the time.

Although the southbound troops of the artillery division carried four groups of rockets, when they set out on the expedition, Li Shouhan made it very clear that the function and task of the rockets was to attack the enemy's positions and fortified areas, not to open the way.

The strictness of the military law and the generous treatment of the South China Army are all equally special.

If you use a sharp weapon to attack the enemy to do this kind of thing that does not outweigh the loss, and you will show your own sharp weapon prematurely, how will you deal with Li Shouhan? What will Bao Zhongchen of the Judge Advocate General's Office do?

Several people bowed their heads at that time.

Over there, Huang Shi'an was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

"It's not! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not talking about the use of fast cannons! ”

"Oh?!" Hearing this, several people immediately became energetic, "Shi Zai! Huang Lei patted Huang Shi'an's shoulder with a big hand, "You are a gentle swallower, you are really delaying!" Tell us what you think! ”

Huang Shi'an's idea is also very simple.

"We have a total of more than 10,000 people in the Iron Shoulders, and with the soldiers of each battalion, it is nearly 20,000. You can let the brothers in the whole camp each pack a bag of soil, discard it into the bamboo stick array set up by the Ruan thieves according to the order of the establishment, and then lay wooden planks on top of the soil bag to open up a passage. ”

"When opening up the passage, the officers and men of our artillery division can provide cover for the army and suppress the enemy's artillery fire in the front, left and right directions."

"We can draw the firecrackers of each battalion in these three areas to provide cover for the brigade! Fight off the invading enemy! ”

Seeing the monstrous fighting spirit of his subordinates, Ye Qi was also very satisfied.

"So good! Chinese Army! Pass the order! After dinner an hour later, the quartermaster of each battalion led the chief of the division to the baggage team to collect the cloth bags, collect soil everywhere, and stand in line at night listening to the sound of artillery. ”
