Huishan.

Here is the military demarcation line.

Well, that word can indeed be used here.

Starting from the Xicheng Canal into the canal, along the canal to the mouth of the Yangxi River, then turning towards the Yangxi River and turning straight to the foot of Huishan, and then adding the mountain forest where Huishan begins to go south to Xueyan, this is the current military dividing line between the Loyal Army and the Changjie Army.

And then one by one.

And it's all called Huishan Fort, and it's very arrogant to show its control over here.

The Huishan Fort of the Loyal and Brave Army was on the peninsula sandwiched between the canal and the Yangxi River, while the Huishan Fort of the Chang Jie Army was on the east bank of the canal opposite Xishan, and there was a fort on the Xishan Mountain, which eventually formed control of the canal, and the buffer zone between the two forts was relocated, but half of the farmland was planted separately. The canal, the Xicheng Canal and other waterways are open to each other and cannot be blocked, except that there is a tax customs in the middle, and the eunuchs under Liu Shimin are responsible for collecting taxes at this critical point......

Nominally, of course, it is to separate the two sides to avoid conflict, similar to a peacekeeping post.

Therefore, the tax customs fluttered the panda banner of Yang Dudu's face that destroyed the three views.

"Don't say it, I've seen this thing!"

On a small boat under the moonlight, a man dressed as a farmer said while looking up at the panda banner waving in the wind.

"Blow, this is the Divine Beast, where have you seen it?"

The companion said disdainfully.

Although the donkey is really not like this, but Yang Dudu took the panda flag as the donkey flag, and confused many people's cognition, so that the panda got the official name is the suyu , as for the image of the past suyu , no one has seen the real one anyway, maybe it was painted wrong, Yang Dudu is a psychic person who said this is the suyu , then this is the suyu good.

Just be cute.

Yan is both righteous!

So the new image of the Yu Yu has become very popular among the people with this Yu flag, and even the New Year's painting is available, which is the standard image of holding bamboo.

"I've really seen it, in the mountains and forests in the upper reaches of Dujiangyan, the local people call it Hua Xiong, and the bear is almost the same, but only love to eat bamboo, but also eat bamboo rats, there are more, but no one dares to hunt, just say eat bamboo, but really fierce than the bear."

Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi He Jin said.

"Then if you catch one, wouldn't you be able to offer auspiciousness?"

His companion Huang Ping said.

"Ha, for our Majesty, it's better to get a machine!"

He Jin said.

"That's not necessarily, our Long Live Lord is good at science, it is said that this bird, beast and even grass and trees are science, before Long Live Lord didn't have an order, the "Fujian Zhonghai Mistake" was printed, and distributed to officials in various places, if we dedicate a live donkey to Long Live Lord, maybe we can also get the favor of Long Live Lord."

Huang Ping said expectantly.

In this way, the two quietly turned into a nearby waterway, supporting themselves in the dense rice fields on both sides, this is a buffer zone and a no-man's land, but during the day there will be farmers coming, and at night there will be no one at all, only the sound of frogs and insects. He Jin held the boat, and Huang Ping, who was sitting in the back, kept pulling out the rice from the side, and then pasted the mud together in the boat, and they were bored and, while advancing in the rice field water network, and soon drilled out of the rice field and re-entered the canal, and then crossed into the north bank water network.

Ahead, in the moonlight, a four-cornered fortress stood.

Huishan Fort.

Chang Jiejun's.

And it is equipped with a triangular turret.

It is basically a copy of the Yang family's fortress in the new city.

The difference is that this one is not covered with bricks, it is just a simple rammed earth fort, but some bricks are used in some important parts.

All the bastions in this area are of this rammed earth.

After all, the cost is low, for the Susong gentry, they will have to retake their land sooner or later, and the fortress is only temporary, and there is no need to spend too much silver on this thing.

Several huge lanterns on Huishan Fort shine all around in the night sky, burning whale oil headlamps from Xu Wen, as if they are demonstrating to the opponent a few miles away with lights, and in the night sky to the west, you can also see a few distant lights, which is the Huishan Fort of the Loyal Army. But the lights were brighter there, because the Loyal Warriors burned kerosene brought from the north, and the gentry of Susong refused to buy kerosene from Yang Xin for lighting, preferring to go to Guangdong to buy the expensive whale oil that Xu smelled.

The latter has been producing this and even taking whale oil as a tribute.

Thousands of catties of tribute a year.

After the Susong gentry purchased a large amount of military supplies, the whaling industry there was exploding, and hundreds of fishing boats are currently whaling in Leizhou Bay.

After arriving here, He Jin and the others quickly put away their pennies and put on the oars, and sat on the boat and rowed the oars, because they were surrounded by rice that was already very high, and it was difficult for them to be found when the boat was full of rice, and there was no one living in this area, and there was no village until five miles away. The artillery of Huishan Fort can bombard all the way to Xishan, and the batteries of Xishan can also bombard Huishan Fort to block the entire canal and the narrow passage on the south bank with crossfire, even if the loyal and brave army wants to attack, they can't open Huishan Fort and can't move forward.

The entire line of defense was extremely tight.

Of course, it can't stop He Jin's infiltration.

Moreover, the mercenaries in Huishan Fort never thought that the loyal warriors would fight them, they were just ready to fight them.

"Get into the water!"

He Jin suddenly stopped and said.

Huang Ping immediately stopped, and the two of them turned over and entered the water without hesitation, and then stood waist-deep in the water and pushed the boat forward to enter the first moat surrounding the fortress.

He Jin motioned for Huang Ping to stop.

Then he watched vigilantly at the rising slope on the opposite bank.

A group of soldiers patrolling above the slope, they quickly approached the rice field next to them, under the camouflage of those rice paddies they basically merged with the rice field, it was impossible to find it at night from a distance of tens of meters, and after the group of soldiers passed, they pushed the boat on. Ahead was the wooden bridge leading into the fortress, and there was a sentry at the head of the wooden bridge, but there were no soldiers on guard, and it was clear that they were still negligent, and it was impossible to expect these mercenaries to patrol as closely as the other side without thinking that the Loyal Warriors would attack.

He Jin climbed into the boat without hesitation, and only a minute later he got out of the canopy, plunged headlong into the water and rushed into the rice fields on the shore with Huang Ping like crazy, spread his legs on the ridges of the field and ran wildly, just ran about a hundred meters before he slipped all at once, and Huang Ping wanted to pull him up......

"Get down!"

He Jin shouted.

Huang Ping hurriedly lay down in the same mud.

At the moment when he lay down, a terrifying flame suddenly exploded behind him, accompanied by an explosion like the sky and the earth cracking, and immediately engulfed the sentry.

The air wave of the explosion swept over their heads with gunpowder smoke, and the two culprits held their heads with both hands, desperately burying themselves in the mud, dodging the power of the explosion of three hundred catties of gunpowder, and even couldn't control their screams, and then the mud, rice, and even the toads that were blown up fell like a torrential rain. I don't know how long it took for the two of them to finally come to their senses, they didn't care about anything else, they got up as fast as they could in the mud, and then took out the reed pipe for breathing and threw themselves directly into the river next to them.

Almost at the same time, a heavy cannon on Huishan Fort suddenly erupted into flames......

"Mada, you guessed right!"

He Jin exclaimed.

With that, he plunged headlong underwater.

At this time, Huang Ping was already like a latent old turtle, with the continuous shaking of his body, buried himself in the underwater mud, only the reed pipe in his mouth was exposed to the water, but it was integrated with the surrounding reeds, even during the day, it was impossible to find it, let alone at night at this time.

He Jin did the same.

This is the fire flickering at Huishan Fort of the Loyal Brave Army in the west, and then two cannonballs swept through the sky, and the cannons of both sides had been aiming at each other for two years, and the two shells instantly fell into Huishan Fort in a parabola. The next moment, on the walls of Huishan Fort, a large number of awakened soldiers rushed to their respective gun emplacements, and then their four heavy guns spewed flames, and then more shells flew from the west, and then more cannons from this side joined the ranks of the counterattack.

Two fortresses with a distance of three thousand meters began in this way......

He Jin took one last look at the flames sprayed on Huishan Fort, closed his eyes and plunged into the mud with a reed pipe in his mouth, lying motionless two feet underwater, quietly listening to the various sounds coming from overhead, the whistling of cannonballs, the shouts of the soldiers who searched for them, and even the neighing of war horses. And he and Huang Ping only played the role of their old turtles, and even he could hear the sound of pennies digging into the mud during the boat, but they were shallow and there were a lot of reeds, and no one came, so they waited as if they were hibernating.

Until I finally couldn't hold it anymore.

He nudged Huang Ping, and the two cautiously raised their heads and got out of the water.

Then take a deep breath of the gunpowder-scented air at the same time.

At this time, Huishan Fort was already like an erupting volcano, and all the heavy artillery was frantically shooting at the opposite side.

On the Huishan Fort of the same loyal and brave army, the fire of the return fire is also constantly shining, the shells of both sides are constantly whistling and staggering above their heads, and the ferocious whistling sound of more than a dozen pounds of heavy shells is like the roar of countless monsters, and even the forts in Xishan have joined in the shooting. As the most important fortress on both sides, these forts and batteries have heavy artillery that can hit each other, although 3,000 meters has exceeded the aiming range, but this kind of large fixed target does not need to be aimed at all when shooting, it is a shooting table compiled after the usual test.

Don't care about anything, just load and fire at a fixed angle and azimuth, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's a parabola.

Then the cannonballs fell from the sky, and they hit everywhere they hit hard.

It works even better.

After all, the bastions are designed to defend against direct fire, and cannot defend against such shells.

All that remains is to fight who can score more shells, who has better luck, and who has more ammunition, but it is clear that both sides have more ammunition.

In that case, they will fight!

The two culprits didn't dare to say anything, they quietly left with a reed pipe in their mouths, and soon entered the canal, leaving the battlefield so quietly......
