Section 69 Defensive Deployment
The first tornado begins at the end of the Wanderer
As a special combat soldier in later generations, creating traps according to local conditions is one of the compulsory courses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the object of defense in later generations was not cavalry, the basic principle remained the same.
Hu Dawei just glanced at it a few times in a hurry, and immediately saw the military value, not to mention that the requisition and transfer of Zhao County labor service to Qin Haoming was used, and his life was at stake!
Qin Haoming's defense system was to dig trenches and traps, and although the methods were primitive, they were effective.
Beside the dwarf city of Zhao County, Qin Haoming commanded everyone to dig a military defense site in the suburbs.
The trench is divided into three lanes, the first ditch is nearly seven meters wide, and the other two are five meters each.
The excavated earth was put to good use, piled up behind the trench and stacked into a three-meter-high berm, with a breastwork wall on top.
Where the breastwork and the berm meet, sharpened wooden piles are arranged diagonally outward. Wooden towers were built every thirty meters on the berm and ballistas were arranged.
The distance between the berm and the first trench was a hundred meters. In order to make it more difficult for the enemy to cross, many tree trunks and tough branches were felled, the tops of the branches were peeled off and sharpened, and these stakes were laid upright in the ditch.
Pin their bottoms and bury them in the soil so that the enemy cannot pull them out, only the tips of the trunks stick out of the ground.
There are five elements of them, connected layer by layer, intertwined with each other, and interspersed with each other, and anyone who rushes into them will inevitably pierce himself by these extremely sharp stakes.
In front of this, there is a diagonal pit in the shape of a plum blossom, which is one meter deep, and gradually shrinks and inclines towards the bottom of the pit.
Inside are stakes the thickness of a human leg, the top sharpened, hardened with fire, and some of them sticking out of the ground, no more than four fingers high.
Then sprinkle thistle terrestris in an open area to increase the density of defenses.
Considering that the ground is divided into hard ground and soft ground, in order to increase efficiency and speed up the excavation progress, the hard ground is replaced by barbed wire, and heavily guarded by heavy troops, after all, it has just begun, and the barbed wire is limited.
There are also simple and effective pits, which do not need to be too big, just enough to accommodate the thickness of the horse's legs.
The radius is about three inches, and the depth is about one foot. If the high-speed Tartars and war horses fall into it, such an inconspicuous pit is the place where their bones are buried.
Under the oppression of life and death, in just two days, more than 30,000 people composed of Ming soldiers and the people of Zhao County have turned a small county town with very weak defense capability in Zhao County into a purely fragmented military town.
And most importantly, morale has risen.
Not to mention that the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army are full of confidence, even the people who participate in the work also feel solid.
"Is there a wall in the world that cannot be breached?
The attacking side is the best defense, if we hold on for ten days, no, fifteen days, on our land, and no reinforcements have arrived, I personally think this Da Ming...... Maybe ......"
Qin Haoming's words were quiet, and at the same time, he also had an attitude of indifference.
He has done everything he can do, he has a clear conscience, and the rest is not beyond his control.
As the coach, Lu Xiangsheng needs to coordinate the overall situation and basically have no idleness.
Hearing that the soldiers reported that Qin Xiucai's defense site was different, simple and effective, he immediately came over to inspect it.
has been in the army for more than ten years, so he naturally saw the value and effect contained in it at a glance, but he didn't expect Qin Haoming to say this.
"Let's go, go to the governor's barracks, and help the counselor with some things."
For Qin Haoming, Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest. Seeing his various methods, I paid more and more attention to him.
"Bo Yu is good, he has very strong organization and coordination skills, and he can bear hardships and stand hard work, he will become a great tool one day."
Seeing Lu Xinrong jumping up and down under the cold wind, he cooperated with the Zhao County officials to organize the local people to be responsible for logistics work, serving tea and pouring water, boiling porridge and soup, and was very busy.
Qin Haoming couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Xiangsheng was also amazed, the clan brother Boyu was so arrogant, he was willing to be driven by Qin Xiucai, it was really an anomaly.
"Last night, he came to say goodbye to me, saying that he was going to Yingtianfu soon, I heard that you asked him to go?"
Lu Xiangsheng asked Qin Haoming as he walked.
The virtuous do not shy away from relatives, and there is a clan brother Lu Boyu in the Tang newspaper of this great victory, and he has already made it clear to him.
Such a great victory, as an ordinary soldier, the court will have a reward.
If he has his own help, coupled with the efforts of his brothers, I believe he will definitely be able to stand out and revive the cousin's branch.
However, he had already made up his mind, and it was useless to persuade him.
Lu Boyu insisted on leaving, and said that he wanted to have a great fortune with Qin Xiucai, and was determined to become the largest maritime merchant in the Ming Dynasty and sell goods from all over the world.
"It's okay to let him go out for a walk, don't shackle his mind. The world out there is a wonderful way to broaden your horizons.
Domestic Shilin students and court bigwigs are all selfish and only care about immediate interests.
It seems that it is for the country and the people, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring, but whether it is on political issues or military issues, whether they understand it or not, they all chatter and argue endlessly.
If the state is used as a bargaining chip in party struggle, how can the country not die?
If Boyu stays in such an atmosphere, within three years, he will be gone! ”
Qin Haoming took the opportunity to say what was in his heart, but he wanted to see how Lu Xiangsheng answered.
Lu Xiangsheng was speechless and thoughtful.
It seems that Qin Xiucai is dissatisfied with the princes of the imperial court, and he was beaten to death with a stick, including him, of course.
He turned around and glared at Qin Haoming with fierce eyes, as if he wanted to see through the young man in front of him.
The corners of Qin Haoming's lips flashed with a hint of a smile, and his eyes were crystal clear. His eyes didn't dodge or hide, he looked directly at Lu Xiangsheng, as if to say, isn't it?
"Haoming, the old man knows the scourge of party struggle. However, there are also gentlemen in the court who are dedicated to the country, it's not that you say it is so unbearable, don't catch them all. ”
Lu Xiangsheng stared at Qin Haoming for a long time, and only after a long time did he say such a sentence.
"Yes, it is undeniable that there is no shortage of righteous men and gentlemen in the court.
But everyone thinks that their opinions are the most correct, and they refuse to compromise and give in, and they often threaten each other with death if they disagree.
Coupled with the bad situation, the situation has become chaotic, and under the vicious circle, it is today's situation. ”
This is the status quo of the Ming Dynasty, good intentions do bad things!
There are few people who have a sense of the overall situation, and they do not hesitate to fight for their lives for the sake of their reputation, but it makes things worse.
Qin Haoming has no desires in his heart, and he doesn't want to be an official. Therefore, for Lu Xiangsheng, a dignified and second-class official, he still adheres to his views and talks eloquently.
Unexpectedly, this move was deeply appreciated by Lu Xiangsheng.
thinks that he is tough and dares to speak out, which is actually the behavior of a righteous man and a gentleman, and he loves him even more.
"Lu Du, the emperor has a holy decree to arrive, and the father-in-law is waiting in the barracks!"
While the two of them were arguing here, Lu Xiangsheng's personal soldiers passed through the suburbs of Zhao County, which was full of construction sites, and reported breathlessly.
