The midday sun shone on the soldiers of the rebel army in armor, many of whom were shirtless, and the hot armor made them grin one by one, and whenever they saw a stream on the side of the road, they would rush up and take a bath in cold water.

Several infantry battalions of the vanguard of the rebel army were dispersed after encountering a battle with the Foreign Legion, and it took two days just to gather those scattered troops, plus the main force of the rebel army waiting for the latter to arrive, it was not until the third day that they could set off for the port of Champang. Ruan Minh Fang, who was marching in the procession, was now full of frustration, if he had known that it would take three or four days to set off, then he would not have been able to approve of this march before. According to the scouts sent out by the headquarters, in the past three or four days, the men not only regathered the original troops, but also supplemented them with other troops of different colors. At this time, more than a mile outside the port of Zhancheng, these troops and people once again dug a trench one zhang wide, and the excavated soil was piled up about ten zhang behind the trench. Despite the haste of the action and the excavation of the trench earthwork, a wall of earth was still piled up at the back of the trench with a height of nearly one zhang.

It can be seen that the Chinese have not only taken precautions against their movements, but also strictly guarded the direction in which they might travel in the direction of defense. At this time, if the rebel army kept moving north, they had to break through this trench in order to continue advancing, and with the Yaning guns distributed by the rebel army, they had to move forward to the position of the earthen wall in order to effectively kill the enemy near the city wall. If it weren't for the fact that the walls of Champanggang had been demolished by the Chinese in large numbers, their generals would have long since lost enough confidence to keep marching.

The Men of the Medeno and the Annam soldiers had repeatedly approached the vicinity of the trench to reconnoitre, but the vast majority of those sent out had not been able to return alive, and it was often the case that a crisp gunshot rang out from near the tower, and the soldiers on this side had already died, often falling before the gunshot rang out. They had long known that the Chinese muskets could shoot at targets of about two miles, but when their top soldiers went there often late at night, and when they couldn't see their fingers, the Chinese gunners were able to accurately hit them, which was simply a miracle and incomprehensible.

In fact, the agents of the Senate had already caught up with the rebels who had quietly left the camp two days earlier, and had transmitted the size of the army, weapons and equipment to the intelligence station outside Wenshan Port through carrier pigeons, which in turn sent it to the Army Intelligence Bureau by wireless telegram.

In fact, at the beginning, Ren Xuefeng received the news of the disappearance of the rebel army, and it was really a big mess, and an enemy army just disappeared? Although it numbered only about 3,000 men, it was an army that was generally armed with firearms. According to the information previously investigated, there is often a rumbling of artillery in the training camp of the rebel army, so the attack power of such a firearms force is quite strong, and although the scale of 3,000 people is almost a drop in the ocean compared to the army attacking Shabak, almost all of them are combat troops, and their combat effectiveness is even higher than that of the South Bank Army. Fortunately, the field agents found the main force of the rebel army through the civilian team that tracked the logistics baggage, which allowed Ren Xuefeng to recover some confidence, at least know where the enemy was. Then all that remained was to stop and harass these enemies, and in addition to to blocking them through the trenches dug south of the port of Champa.

With regard to the current blockade of the rebel army, the Joint Chiefs of Staff discussed the tactic of directly using trenches to directly block the attack. Since the rebels mainly use firearms, and there will certainly be artillery among them, the denser the formation of the interception force, the more likely it is to suffer heavy casualties. Moreover, now that a large part of the wall south of the port of Champa has been demolished to carry the building materials in the city, it is impossible for the army to climb the wall and shoot directly downward, and this long gap in the wall is likely to become the main direction of the enemy's attack. To prevent the enemy from choosing the way to a quick breakthrough, it is necessary to add obstacles to the enemy in this direction. So the excavated earthworks in the trench work were transported directly to the position of twenty-five meters after the construction of an earthen wall, and some places were reserved on the earthen wall for the erection of smoothbore cannons and flying thunder cannons - the enemy used firearms, so in terms of the range of the firearms captured by the Medeno people in peacetime, they had to enter a distance of fifty to thirty meters before they could shoot, which was precisely the distance at which the flying thunder cannon and the smoothbore cannon could exert their most power. Even the cannons equipped by the rebels should be the standard of the nine-pounder guns on the captured Medeno battleship, which is about the appearance of being able to exert its power within two hundred meters.

In fact, what the Joint Staff Council is most worried about is these cannons, even if they use a smoothbore cannon with a solid iron ball, they can still cause casualties within 200 meters. Trenches dug in the ground can counteract the potential damage caused by shell bounces to a certain extent, and in some cases, trenches can also directly stop shells. Even if the shells flew through the trench, the gun emplacements on the earthen wall twenty-five meters back were half-buried, and it was almost impossible to cause damage to the guns unless they were directly hit.

As for the troops participating in the war, although Qian Longzhou repeatedly assured the Foreign Legion that it was capable of defending the security of the entire port of Champa, it was directly vetoed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The combat casualty rate of the Foreign Legion in the Battle of Shabak exceeded 16%, the replenishment of recruits was not in place, the weapons were lacking, and even the clothing was not enough, and Qian Longzhou was actually a little overstretched in the defense of Shabak, let alone to defend the port of Cham. After discussions, the Joint Chiefs of Staff finally decided to dispatch three companies of the army to defend and at the same time to dispatch a flying thunder artillery company and a smoothbore artillery company to provide fire support.

There are still many militia and Foreign Legion soldiers outside Shabak City who are still cleaning the battlefield, and many corpses on the battlefield after the typhoon have begun to show a giant view due to excessive water absorption, and the smell of corpses ** wafts near the battlefield, fortunately, the wind is blowing from east to west, otherwise this stench will only make the people in Shabak unable to breathe. Even so, not only Shabak, but also Champa Harbor can smell a disgusting stench. Rolls-Royce, transporting quicklime, struggled along the road towards Shabak, with deep ruts in the compacted road along the way. Although the patriarchs were very resistant to this matter and complained, there was nothing they could do, and whoever won the battle would be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

According to the custom, it was possible to drive the prisoners to clean up the battlefield, but there were not many prisoners captured in this battle, and through statistics, we learned that a total of more than 300 prisoners were captured, most of them were injured, and there were less than 100 people who were not injured, and more than 30 people were directly frightened crazy. Yu Sha didn't know what to do with this group of madmen, but fortunately, although this group of madmen was not conscious, they were not aggressive, and they would stay in it and be stunned if they drew a circle on the ground. However, he heard that many of them were scared, and it should return to normal after a while, but no one could say how long it would take, so he could only choose to do it himself in the matter of cleaning up the battlefield.

In order to prevent the enemy from understanding the situation in the trenches, three special reconnaissance sniper detachments were specially set up on the south gate of Champong Port, which were not only equipped with M24 sniper rifles brought from the old world, but also equipped with absolute black technology -- infrared night vision devices. At a distance of three or four hundred meters, the sniper is able to monitor the entire distance of the trench blockade very clearly, and even at night he will be able to see everything clearly. Their abilities were quickly tested, and over the course of two days, they killed more than twenty scouts who came to reconnoitre, most of them fatally with a single shot. Such accurate shooting has completely deterred all scouts with reconnaissance intentions, and no one has been trying to get close to scouting since last night.

"Hundred households!" A herald rode a donkey quickly along the road from the north, and asked the soldiers who were holding water to wet their armor on the side of the road, "Where are the hundred households?" Are you part of the Third Battalion? ”

"Nonsense, of course we're in the third step." A soldier lazily pointed to a flag planted on the side of the road, on which was written the word "three", "What's the matter with you?" ”

The herald hurriedly asked, "Where are you hundred?" There is an order! ”

"In the back," the soldier said, gesturing to the south, and the herald arched his hand at him and continued to ride south.

Ruan Minh Fang was sitting in the shade of a tree, he was surrounded by the primeval jungle, and if the command was not disrupted, no army would directly rush into the primeval jungle, he was just sitting on the edge of the jungle to enjoy the shade.

"I really can't stand it, it rained so hard two days ago, and now it's such a big sun, it's just too much to live." Li Falcon chattered beside him, and casually pulled a large leaf and fanned himself. A small flag sat opposite them, and when he saw Baihu's impatient face, he hurriedly joked and said, "Yes, this weather is cold and hot, it's just unbearable, and I don't know when it will be cool." ”

"It's cool, we're going to fight the Chinese, and they just defeated the attack of 100,000 people!" Ruan Mingfang said impatiently, "I don't know what those Maidno people are thinking in their hearts, just our things, to attack the Chinese, is simply to send them to death." ”

"Yes," Xiao Qi hurriedly said, "The hundred-man team we attacked the Chinese a few days ago failed to win, fortunately they escaped quickly, otherwise they would all have to die there, how can we win if we fight like this now?" ”

"Are you stupid?" Li Falcon walked over and kicked over the small flag and said, "Nonsense here, I don't know how to write dead words?" He said in a low voice, "We just said that we only evacuated until the end of the battle, but the people in those infantry battalions really fought to the end, and I heard that the Chinese used a very strange car to cause an explosion, and killed most of their infantry battalions at once." However, Staff Officer Medeno said that they were obviously afraid of death, so they let people kill all the officers who escaped alive from them, and you are talking nonsense here now, if you are heard by the staff officers, you will be dragged out and cut down, and maybe drag down our entire third-step battalion! The little flag hurriedly got up, hid to the side, shut up and stopped talking.

"Is Ruan Baihu here?" Ruan Mingfang followed the prestige, it turned out to be a herald, so he stood up and beckoned to him. The herald hurriedly rushed over and saluted him, did not dismount, and said in a loud voice, "Five miles ahead is the trench of the Chinese, and the chief staff told us to speed up our advance and arrive before dark, and we will attack at night." ”

"Night raid?" Ruan Mingfang and Li Ying couldn't help but gasp, what is this staff officer making trouble? Night Raid? Night raids are simply an impossible task for the Annam people, because of their usual dietary problems, night blindness is more common, and under such circumstances, they forcibly carry out night raids, let alone attack the enemy, and it is not easy to say whether they can even find the enemy, maybe the people walking in front of them will disappear.

"Yes, Night Raid!" The herald nodded as he spoke, "The Chief Staff has an order, everyone must pack up their things in advance, and do not make a noise during the march at night, especially the sword and shield hands, must ensure that they do not make a sound." ”

"Okay!" Nguyen Minh Fang nodded his head to receive the order, and the herald turned his horse's head and headed north.

"Good fellow, I'm afraid I'm going to lose even worse this battle." Li Falcon wiped his nose on the side and said, "I can't see anything at night, and I have to go to war, and the enemy doesn't necessarily know where he is......"

"Don't talk nonsense," Ruan Minh Fang interrupted him, "We will definitely lose the battle during the day, but not necessarily at night, have you read the battle report of Zhancheng Port before?" ”

"What battle report?" Li Ying said with a wry smile on his face, "I'm just a low-level military attaché, how can I be qualified to read the battle report of Zhanchenggang?" In addition, I can't read, so I can't read it. ”

"Alas," Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but shake his head, what came to his mind was that the Chinese's top priority when training the new army was to read and write. At first, he didn't understand the significance of this practice, as long as the soldiers were not afraid of death, they were strong enough to fight, and it was a matter for them to read and write. But now that he saw Li Falcon, an illiterate fellow, he began to understand a little why the Chinese wanted all soldiers to read and write. He smiled bitterly and continued, "Last year, when the Southern Barbarians went north, the New Army once defeated a Southern Barbarian Giant Beast Cavalry Force head-on during the day, but at night it was successfully attacked by those Southern Barbarians, and had to give up the plan to continue southward and return to Champa Port, and then the South Barbarians followed north, and the New Army and the Chinese army held Champa Port together. The Chinese army is easy to fight during the day, but it is different at night. Since they could not see from afar, the range of their muskets must have been shortened considerably, which would have been beneficial to us, and the night attack might not have been able to win. ”
