"Sir, they're back." Just when Zhu Jian was worried. A soldier suddenly reported.

"What?" Zhu Jian asked loudly.

"Where are they? Tell me quickly. Zhu Jian asked excitedly.

"What are you guys going to eat, can't you even beat that bit of Indian?" At this moment, Bai Ge asked loudly.

"This. This, sir, is not. A lieutenant officer explained. But Bai Ge was very annoyed.

"You saw it, too. We just can't beat it. Zhu Jian immediately stepped forward and said at this time.

"The Indians in those trenches are engaged in hand-to-hand combat with us, all the melee weapons are given to you, and we only have long rifles, in that environment, we don't even have a chance to fire a second shot and have to fight directly with bayonets, the other side is so large in number, they appear in all directions, we can't fight at all, they are so numerous, what can we do? There is simply no way to do it. Zhu Jian explained at this time. He also felt helpless, because there was no way. His people have worked very hard. All the melee weapons have been mobilized to the commandos, so when the commandos retreated, they did not encounter any danger, because in the face of unexpected situations, they could quickly repel the enemy's attack in the first wave, and the opponent did not even have a chance to react. Coupled with the matter of explosive weapons such as grenades, in terms of firepower, the commandos are overwhelming, although they do not occupy a numerical advantage, but in a narrow trench, the number factor is definitely not the main factor, being able to pour fire at the first time, is the most important.

"This." Bai Ge was also helpless. He knew that the Yue Clan's troops were too small. The armament is also unreasonable.

"This time, we're a little close." That's all Bai Ge can say.

"yes, almost." Zhu Jian said.

"Next, we can only gather more forces to launch a frontal assault. And artillery, as well as all kinds of resources that we all need to spend time accumulating, and these take a lot of time. Zhu Jian said.

"Yes, only mortars and mortars can solve all problems." Bai Ge said. If they can occupy the trenches and fight, they will definitely be able to gain a big advantage.

"Sir." Just then, a sergeant came in and reported.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Jian asked.

"Sir, we have found that those Indians are digging trenches overnight, and they seem to have the intention of expanding them." The sergeant reported.

"What are they digging trenches for?" Zhu Jian asked puzzled.

"No need to ask. They must have gained a lot of advantage in this battle, so they summed up their experience and began to dig trenches against our firearms, and those trenches would be much more resistant to artillery, much stronger than forts. "Bai Ge has noticed the problem. When he returned, he saw that the Indians were expanding their trenches, and they believed that the trenches could disrupt the infantry formation of the Yuens, and the Yuemen's musket advantage could not be brought into play, and they also found that the role of artillery in the trenches was very limited, so that the defensive effect of the trenches was very obvious. Therefore, the Indians quickly summed up their experience, and they continued to dig trenches, expand trenches, and further expand their defense system.

"If this continues, we will be in danger of trench warfare here. No, I have to report the situation here. Bai Ge said. Then he left to give a report.

Bangladesh.

"We have very limited information, and according to the information from our businessmen, it seems that the Champhu country is massing troops, and in the territory of Bangla, we don't know much about it, mainly because of our atrocities." Zhang General Assembly reported to Zhang Shi.

"So, we don't know a lot of news, but what we do know is that the king of Mengla seems to be very afraid of us, he doesn't want the uncontrolled nobles to win the battle, and most importantly, those nobles are also actively gathering forces, and there are already quite a few Mengla people who have spontaneously assembled. Their threat to us is growing, but according to reports from our patrolmen, there is still no presence of the Banda army nearby. Zhang said.

"How long do you think it will take them to complete the build-up?" Zhang Shi asked such a question.

"Well, it seems, sir, I think, judging by the situation with the Menla, it seems like they're going to take a long time, about two or three months, sir. I have some concerns. At this time, Zhang Dahui said.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Shi asked.

"I asked the Shink soldiers, and they told us that the southwest monsoon was coming, and in that case, the rainy season would come and the dry season would be over. If that's the case, if it rains, it's very bad for us. If it takes longer, it will be difficult for our muskets to be effective, and we must react to this as soon as possible. Zhang Dahui said worriedly.

"Rainy season?" Zhang Shi asked.

"Yes, it's going to rain all the time, at least heavily, and I guess that's what the damned Menlas think, too, so there's not such a large army gathered nearby, and if they attack in the rainy season, our muskets won't go off, and it's going to be very bad." Zhang said.

"Don't they know that some of our troops use muskets that can withstand heavy rains for a certain period of time, but we have to think about what you said, after all, we still have quite a few flintlock pistols among us. The situation with these flintlock guns was not so good, and when it rained, it was extremely bad for us. We should do a good job of rainproofing. The Monglas cannot be allowed to take advantage of it. Zhang Shi said.

"Sir, I've already arranged for someone to do this. They can use grease paper, or local rainproof materials for rain protection, and in addition, we have made the ammunition depot moisture-proof and dispersed so that more ammunition is washed by rain. We can do everything we can. Just hope, rainy days. Zhang said.

"Don't worry, victory is on our side, and the weather won't help them for long." Zhang Shi said. As long as he takes waterproof measures, he thinks that the problem on his side should not be big, but this problem should be taken seriously, after all, the gunpowder of the flintlock pistol is easily damp.
