Chapter 116: Night Attack (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
Soldiers, you are fast!
Although those who know the soldiers know these four words in "Sun Tzu: Nine Places", for Shi Lei, that is, today, in the loyal army, he can be regarded as knowing what it means to be a real soldier.
Ordinary soldiers, travel thirty miles a day, and then build a camp to rest. And today, although the loyal army set off three days later than Liang Huafeng, it was only a day's work and had already arrived in Danyang City, but he himself did not enter the city, but led 3,000 men and horses to block the enemy more than ten miles away from the city.
"Hmph, this person is really not ordinary arrogance!"
With his father at the entrance of the village, Shi Zhao, looking at the army that had disappeared in the distance, he said contemptuously,
"Obviously there are 10,000 people and horses, but they only lead 3,000 troops, this is not a big deal, but arrogance!"
His daughter's words made Shi Lei shake his head, he just looked ahead, and his heart was also full of doubts, what kind of thoughts would Zhu Mingzhong dare to attack Liang Huafeng's camp with only 3,000 men?
What kind of conceit is to be like this?
Not to mention outsiders, it is Yu Xiaobao, who is a confidant, who will look at the Qing army camp in the curtain, and also secretly beat the drum.
It can be clearly seen in the curtain that the high camp wall of the Qing army is made of wooden mud, although it looks inconspicuous, Yu Xiaobao, who is an old soldier, knows very well that this person's one-foot-thick camp wall can ensure that the army can camp without worry in this field.
"The general soldiers, as the saying goes, half a day's march, half a day's camp, is built on this wall, if you touch the prudent lord, it is estimated that this wall must be built one foot high, three feet thick, ......"
When Yu Xiaobao spoke, Zhu Mingzhong's eyes narrowed and stared at the barracks, although he had already learned the rules of marching and camping in this era from some military books. But this was the first time he had seen a field camp of this era.
This is not a camp, it is clearly an earthen city!
When this idea came up, Zhu Mingzhong thought of the Hunan army two hundred years later, the same is true of the Hunan army, and it is more extreme, every time they go to a place, they must first look at the terrain to choose a camping site, it is best to back the mountain and water, and then build a wall and dig a trench, the wall is eight feet high and one foot thick, and it is composed of adobe clods. The trench was one foot deep, and the soil excavated from the trench had to be moved two feet away, in case the enemy could easily fill the trench with the excavated soil. Outside the ditch is a hedge, which is five feet long, two feet buried in the soil, and has two or three layers. The fence is a horse team to defend against the enemy. According to Zeng Guofan's regulations, the Hunan army drove to the new land, regardless of the cold and rain, immediately dug a trench, and completed it within one hour, and now the same is true for the loyal and righteous army, but unlike the Hunan army and the Qing army, the loyal and righteous army built a camp and dug a trench is required to push the soil to the inside of the trench, and only need to pile up a simple earthen barrier, if necessary, a row of wooden cages containing soil can be placed in the necessary position.
has fought for thousands of years, and the most important thing about this camp rule is to prevent enemy attacks, which has never been the kind in film and television dramas...... Suddenly, Zhu Mingzhong thought of the Zheng army camp under Jiangyin City, in comparison, the so-called camp was nothing more than a circle of wooden fences.
"Zheng Jiajun is really not good at land warfare!"
With comparison, it is natural to judge the superior, the big camp under Jiangyin City is like this, if you want to come to the big camp under Nanjing City, it will not be any better, if they set up a camp like Zeng Guofan under Nanjing City, even if it is a camp like Liang Huafengzha, how can they take it?
"Chief soldier, this, the camp is not easy to fight!"
Swallowing his saliva, Wang Yuan looked at the camp with some nervousness, three thousand people, not enough to surround this village. He was originally born in Jiangyin Minyong, with his outstanding performance in training, of course, more importantly, he opened a Mongolian and read books, and after several expansions of the Loyal and Righteous Army, he has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant commander of the Chinese army.
"Dashuai, look at the mark, this march to fight, pay attention to a stable word, we still transfer the troops of Danyang City, so it is more stable, tomorrow at dawn, the mark will lead the troops to kill in, this earthen wall looks strong, but it is not a top matter, when the time comes, the brothers will be able to collapse with the collision wood......"
Yu Xiaobao, as the standard commander of the Chinese army, did not lack confidence like Wang Yuan, but patted his chest and promised to win, but his words still seemed a little unconfident.
"What the standard said is very much, and the standard thinks that although the earthen wall is not solid, it is conducive to defense after all, and the method of using soldiers is "ten rules to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight the "......"
It doesn't mean that Shujie finished speaking, Zhu Mingzhong smiled, and pointed to the Qing army camp two hundred meters away and said.
"Do you think the Qing army's camp is an obstacle?"
Looking at the people around him, the corners of Zhu Mingzhong's lips twitched slightly.
"But in the eyes of this town, this camp is just the death place of the Qing army, and the person surnamed Liang thinks that if he sets up camp, he will be safe? But the town wants to tell him that even if he has set up this camp, how can he stop the town! ”
Saying this, while sneering, Zhu Mingzhong calculated in his heart, from here to the Qing army camp, a total of only 70 zhang, that is, about 200 meters, this distance, if you charge at full speed, it will probably take time......
While calculating the time in his heart, Zhu Mingzhong used mud blocks to lay out the sand table of the Qing army camp on the ground, and then used small wooden sticks to calculate how to attack this camp.
"This should be the big tent, here is the ......"
When Zhu Mingzhong made a simple sand table there according to the methods of later generations, Yu Shujie's eyes lit up. It is no wonder that the previous general army ordered people to observe the deployment of the battalion from the trees, it turned out that it was to "know the enemy", but just knowing the deployment of the battalion could not capture the camp.
"My lord, judging from the mark, this place is relatively weak, you can order the gunners to shell here, and after the earthen wall is blasted open, the army can naturally enter the camp!"
Gun carriage!
Suddenly, Yu Xiaobao, Wang Yuan and others immediately thought of the artillery carriages that attacked the camp with the army, but no, with the artillery carriages, how could they worry about not being able to defeat this camp.
"Yes, yes, blast open, as long as this wall is blasted open, before the brothers rush in, there will be a grenade in it, and they will cry and cry for their mother ...... if they are blown up."
Yu Xiaobao howled excitedly, if he wasn't worried that his words would be heard by the Qing army, I'm afraid he would have shouted out early in the morning. As long as he can collapse the earthen wall, the thousands of Qing soldiers in this camp are nothing at all, and thousands of grenades are thrown into it, and he is a big Arhat, and he may not be able to escape.
"Then these 70 zhang, how do you rush over?"
Looking at the people who were full of confidence at this meeting, Zhu Mingzhong asked with a smile, because the officers of the Loyal and Righteous Army did not have much experience like him, so he would recruit the officers above the battalion level to his side and hold such a pre-war "meeting" to discuss tactical issues with everyone.
"Rush over, it's going to die!"
Shaking his head, Wang Yuan looked at the simple sand table on the ground and said.
"These seventy zhang are easy to do, and the brothers crawl over from the field, and in half an hour, as long as they get close to the position of 10 zhang! On such a dark day, as long as the brothers don't move much, it's hard to look at us! ”
"Well, both the wall and the problem of engaging the enemy have been solved. ……”
Nodding, seeing that the enthusiasm of the big guy had been mobilized, Zhu Mingzhong continued to ask.
"Well, now there's only one question left......"
