The artillery was too heavy, and by the time the light armored pikemen of the front had already reached the front, the artillery unit was just halfway through.

The two-pounder cannon is already so rhythmic, and you can imagine how crazy the logistics will be when the four-pounder and eight-pounder guns appear on the battlefield. Not to mention the flammable and explosive black powder, as well as heavy shells.

As soon as Qin Cang arrived here, he went to Qin Siliang to understand the situation. Chen Hanlin was left to understand the situation on his own on the battlefield in the future.

"It seems that this new king has a really wide heart." Chen Hanlin smiled helplessly, and then began to wander around the battlefield. As a Confucian general who was born as a scholar, Chen Hanlin began to understand the battlefield he first touched.

Walking in this swampy area, Chen Hanlin could see that there were wooden planks spread on the ground everywhere he could see.

That's right, it's the plank.

Because the swamp is full of soft mud, even mud. This is not a good thing, if you fall into it and have no comrades by your side, you will probably have to say goodbye to the dear world. So between the land, there are many places with wooden planks.

The neighing of the horses woke up Chen Hanlin, who was still pondering. He looked up, and the effect of thousands of horses galloping together was extremely amazing! The dirt particles and sand that are fluttered up from time to time on the swamp are the best proof of this.

The galloping cavalry soon rounded the swamp and headed south.

"Hey, Command! My name is Qin Siliang, and I am the temporary commander of the front line! I'm easy with you! It's finally time to unload the burden! ”

Separate suitability, Qin Cang said to Qin Siliang to let him go to the real commander Chen Hanlin, the commander of the Royal Forest Army. Qin Siliang asked, what does he look like? Qin Cang said with a mysterious face: "You'll know when you go!" It's very easy to recognize! ”

As soon as Qin Siliang arrived here, he immediately recognized it. After all, the whole battlefield is full of men rolling mud, and a Confucian man is an outlier standing here.

"Alas! Commander Qin can't leave yet! Chen Hanlin grabbed Qin Siliang.

"Commander Chen still has something to do?"

Chen Hanlin smiled slightly, revealing his big white teeth.

"I'm new here, and I still want Commander Qin to give me some guidance, what are the matters here?"

Qin Siliang felt chills all over his body. But for the sake of Qin Cang's career, he still answered them one by one for Chen Hanlin.

Commander Chen saw that this area was full of walls made of blue bricks. Over there are artillery positions. Pay attention to the floor, these wooden shelves were secretly harvested from the mountains, and some of them were bought. Those Tatars, they don't know the goods. I'll tell you about the hundred-year-old wood, and they sold a few kitchen knives. If you want me to say, this battle simply dragged them into the army. This will also allow for more cannon fodder. ”

"And what are those over there?" Chen Hanlin pointed to the wire net in the distance.

"Oh, that's the weapon that the king ordered the Great Iron Supervisor to make, and it was specially used to defend against the enemy's war horses. You see, these are barbed wire, and there are spikes buried in the aquatic plants, and in the swamps, in all the areas where the ceramic pieces have been crossed, there are tribulus terrestris hidden in them! There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Naharachi, and they don't dare to trespass on the forbidden land! ”

Chen Hanlin looked at the excited Qin Siliang and began to think about countermeasures in his heart.

As Qin Cang had predicted, Mengus, one of the four nobles, had no way to take a boat from the Sivash Coast, which was full of lagoons and sandbars, to Qin Cang's hometown. If they wanted to get to Chizhou, they had to pass through a narrow passage above the city of Kaffa. And this passage has long been blocked by Qin Cang's army.

"It seems that I, Chen Hanlin, can only be the king in this war!" Chen Hanlin stood in the swamp pond covered with wooden planks with some regret.

......

At the end of February, it was decided to attack Chizhou, and April was approaching, and Menguss had just marched to the eastern central part of the Crimean peninsula. This is where Qin Cang used to live, and it is also Baoyin's hometown.

Mengus had already gathered six thousand soldiers, and it was here that he took over the remaining two thousand tribes. Then, Guha and seven or eight hundred men also squeezed into Mengus's journey south to conquer the land of iron.

There is a land of iron, which is the name of Chizhou by Mengus and others.

Whether it was the iron tools sold by the merchants of Kaffa or the iron tools that flowed into the Tatar tribes from Chizhou, these iron tools filled with the flag symbols of the Han Kingdom instantly entered the eyes of the upper echelons of the Crimean Khanate. Haji Gelai wanted to win over the small kingdom that had suddenly appeared on the far peninsula, and Harachi Menguth chose to conquer them.

Just like their Mongol ancestors did.

Mengus was a ruler with considerable Mongol ancestry. His unthree-dimensional eye sockets are flat, his eye sockets are bulging, his forehead bones are high, and his narrow monkey-like chin is too sharp and thin.

This is because Mengus is the offspring of consanguineous marriages, and unfortunately he does not get the genius side, but the disabled side. His mother was his grandmother, and his father killed his grandfather, took his grandmother, and finally gave birth to it.

Vendettas among the steppe peoples are quite common, and disputes between fathers and sons are even more common. Just as the wolves want to drive out the old wolves, the steppe people always can't wait to complete the change of leaders immediately. The leader is always the most powerful one.

"Guha, where's your daddy?" Mengus asked.

Guha said curtly, "He? He's been locked up by me. ”

"Well, well done!" Mengus laughed, "The old wolf who has lost his claws and fangs should let him die." ”

"Understood, understood......" Guha said in his heart, do you think anyone dares to kill his father directly like you?

"Look! This is my army! Even if Haji comes, what can he do to me? Isn't he the same for this year's autumn harvest, and he wants to rely on me to earn money and prestige for him? The cowardly Haji only knew how to hide in the mountains of the south, in the splendid palaces built for him by the Greeks, and with the beautiful maids! It's just me! Only I, Mengus, am the pride of heaven under the protection of the Immortal Heaven! Haha, once I capture the iron weapons of Chizhou, I can assemble the most powerful horse team to kill all the way to Bakhchisaray!

At that time, Guha, I appoint you as the Nayan of Chizhou, and guard it for me! ”

Mengus patted Guha on the shoulder, and Guha was even more grateful, and hurriedly dismounted and bowed!

"Phew!" Someone secretly spat at Guha with disdain. Some people have quietly stayed away from here. These Tatars were hired by Qin Cang to inquire about the news in Mengus's team. The patriarchs of these small tribes don't look at a single person, but they are worth a lot. Qin Cang paid hundreds of iron pots and kitchen knives for this.
