Chapter 58: Finding a Loophole

On the tenth day of the first month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Huang Sheng's fleet came to the coastal waters of Gaizhou to cruise, after a day of observation, no signs of life were found, the snow-capped north wind was howling, and the world was vast. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After looking through fixed binoculars, it was basically confirmed that Jiannu had not given up Wanghaidun, and there were signs of soldiers stationed there.

Huang Sheng resolutely decided to break the ice and dock in the harbor behind Xiaoshanbao, which was anchored last time, to use the 'sealed pontoon' to join the temporary wharf, to lay the road, and to keep the 'Gaizhou' on guard when the 'Guangning' broke the ice, and the two warships of the Shanhaiguan Navy Division were respectively monitoring the enemy's situation in the coastal waters two nautical miles away.

Here is really a thousand mountains and birds flying away, thousands of people disappear, death-like silence, Huang Sheng worried about the situation did not happen, except for the nearest Wanghai Dun where Jiannu is stationed, there are no people in the vicinity for dozens of miles, and no one came to the vicinity by mistake to hear the movement of breaking the ice.

Huang Sheng was still cautious, and the first thing he did when he went ashore was not to reconnoiter Wanghaidun, but to simply trim the road that was scheduled to lead to the reconnaissance point, and make the ice surface of the place that was too slippery into a ladder shape, and sprinkle soot to prevent slipping.

He ordered the servants to first make the most convenient road for a quick escape safe, and to familiarize themselves with it, and explained to them that reserving a retreat route was the first important thing in guerrilla warfare, and that the premise of destroying the enemy was to do everything possible to ensure that they would not be destroyed.

Huang Sheng is already a god-like existence in the eyes of everyone, and the family members carry out the orders to the letter, and seriously understand Huang Sheng's words and deeds.

A day later, the five observation points began to work, and the people inside were not hard at all, because Huang Sheng came prepared with the team and was well prepared.

Dig a snow pit in the snow-covered mountain, and the white canvas tent is disguised as a small snow bag slightly higher than the surrounding area, inside which four people can hide and take turns watching.

A passage was dug in the snow on the back, and everyone bent down to go in and out, and the direction of Wanghaidun was not visible at all. The snow-white tent, made of several layers of thick canvas, could not penetrate the cold wind, and blended in with the mountains.

There is also honeycomb coal heating in the tent, and there is almost no smoke, but some smell is emitted from the back of the tent through the pipe, and there is no worry about being discovered by Wanghaidun, because the observation points are all on the mountains to the south five miles away, and now it is all northeast wind, and those faint smells of burning honeycomb coal will only float to the sea.

The burning honeycomb coal stove is always lit on the ship and brought to the tent at the observation point, so that as long as the honeycomb coal is replaced in time, it will not be extinguished, eliminating the black smoke from the coal stove. The soldiers were peeking at Jiannu's every move and had hot soup and hot water to drink, which was very comfortable.

The observation point was full of soldiers who were preparing to participate in the attack, and they carefully recorded Jiannu's every move, and slept directly at the observation point without returning to the ship at night, taking round-the-clock surveillance.

After two days of snooping, it was found that there were more than 20 Jiannu garrisons here, there was no Aha and there seemed to be no women, and it was found that there were other Jiannu coming here twice, all of them were cavalry led by Jiannu white armor soldiers, and the number of people should be about 30 should be patrols.

The number of people on duty at Wanghaidun at night should be more than three people, there must be a secret sentry, because it has been found that several Jiannu sentinels have talked to people, but it is not a Jiannu sentinel that can be seen by two people, and there is no way to know how many people from the secret sentry.

If it is impossible to replicate the tactics of the last time, the opponent has already more than doubled in numbers, and is more cautious, it is impossible to quietly kill the three clear posts and a few unknown secret posts.

The only favorable condition than last time is that if the Jiannu cavalry supports here, the time for the horses to be unable to gallop in the knee-high snow will be doubled. But there are pros and cons, and their own fighters are equally unable to run fast.

Every day, Huang Sheng held a meeting with the heads of the five observation points, and everyone had no good way to sneak attack for the time being. Forcibly attacking Wanghaidun is not allowed by one's own strength and time, and there is no reason for guerrilla warfare to storm the enemy's city.

It is also unrealistic to calculate the Jiannu patrol, with the number of people he can attack, it is possible that he will not be able to defeat the Jiannu team of thirty people, and even if he wins, he will suffer heavy casualties, which is unacceptable to Huang Sheng.

There is no way, there are too few families who can fight, although they are not afraid of sacrifice and desire to fight against Jiannu, but Huang Sheng is reluctant to consume them, he would rather not have military exploits than preserve his strength, not a cheap battle, Huang Sheng resolutely refuses to do it when the strength of the person is weak.

It is also not feasible to plant bombs with gunpowder, and the power of burying gunpowder in the snow is limited, and it is impossible to create a series of rocks like the ambush of Lianshanyi.

The sudden emergence of many rocks in the snow was too eye-catching, and the patrol of thirty Jiannu would not allow themselves to take advantage of it unless they were collectively blind.

Moreover, in this place, the road that the Jiannu patrol must pass through is relatively wide, and the effect of the attack is worrying.

Huang Sheng couldn't think of any good way to win with the least casualties for the time being, so he had to take a closer look and say, if it really didn't work, he would change places and make plans again.

It is difficult to sleep at night tossing and turning, Hexiang knows that Childe has something in his heart, and he has not been with him when he comes to the sea, and she has come to see many times at night, she wants to comfort Childe, but she doesn't know how to speak, just looks at her beloved Son.

In the morning, Huang Sheng fell asleep deeply, and after noon, Huang Mingli hurriedly ran back, he came directly to the cabin where Huang Sheng was resting, and said happily: "Report to your lordship, good news!" This morning we found out that a couple of Jiannu came out. ”

Huang Sheng sat up all of a sudden, and said, "Is it the Jiannu stationed at Wanghaidun who came out?" How many people are there? It's freezing and cold, what are they doing here? ”

Huang Mingli said: "There are three people who came out, driving two ox carts, and only one Jiannu is riding a war horse, and he is here to fetch water not far from our hiding point." ”

It turned out that three Jiannu came out of Wanghaidun early this morning, drove two ox carts loaded with three large wooden barrels, and came to a place not far from the observation point to get water.

After Huang Mingli and the others waited for them to leave, they came to the place where Jiannu took water, and found that there was a hot spring there, and the lookout post of Wanghaidun couldn't see it so far, and there was a mountain bag blocking it.

Huang Mingli said happily: "My lord, we can kill at least three Jiannu this time, and we won't be empty-handed." ”

Huang Sheng was also very happy, but he didn't know if Jiannu had a pattern for taking water, and said: "Mingli, you let them go first, don't startle the snakes, wait for them to come to get water again, and strive to find out their general laws." ”

Huang Mingli said: "The humble position understands that it has been arranged, so that everyone cannot act rashly." ”

Huang Sheng was happy, it was okay for dozens of people to beat up three Jiannu, but he didn't know if he could use this opportunity to expand the results?

He also told Huang Mingli: "You have to observe more carefully, don't worry, what we have is time, at least the specific number of Wanghaidun Jiannu is accurate." ”

Huang Mingli said: "I understand the humble position, in fact, I have already roughly counted, and it will be no problem to confirm it in the next two days." ”

He was so excited that he immediately slipped back and continued to peep at Jiannu.

Hexiang saw that Gongzi was happy and was about to get up, and Xizizi came to Huang Sheng's side to serve Gongzi to dress, but he was hugged into his arms. The beauty is ashamed and doesn't want to break free.

Huang Shengle said: "Hexiang, you haven't seen us kill Jiannu, right?" This time you can see for yourself, we can at least turn those three villains into heads. ”

Hexiang put her face on Huang Sheng's ear and said coquettishly: "Childe, you also have to be careful, the slave is always worried." ”

"I have such a lovely beauty, how can I be willing to take risks?" Huang Sheng's face rubbed gently against the girl's delicate cheeks.

The beauty saw that Childe's hand began to be dishonest and had reached into her clothes, and she hugged Childe's neck and kissed his face with sexy lips.

The long kiss was confused, Hexiang couldn't hold it anymore and began to gasp again and again, the two have been like this many times without going further, they are enjoying the feeling of being loved by each other.

After being pushed into the clouds by this feeling, the satisfied pretty woman smiled and lay on the lap of her beloved son...... with a smile.

Huang Sheng walked out of the cabin refreshed, and took more than a dozen family members to personally go to the Jiannu water intake place to reconnoitre.

This is the foot of a mountain, and it happens to be blocked by a mountain bag to view the sea pier and his five observation points, no wonder I didn't find the steaming hot springs for the first two days.

After careful observation for six days, it was found that Jiannu took water irregularly, more than three days and less than two days, it may be that Wanghaidun could not use the same amount of water every day, and found that the water was out of it and came here to transport it.

They drove two ox carts, and only one Jiannu rode a horse to follow, and the speed was so slow that it was perfectly possible to spot them arranging when they went out.

There is no doubt that the three Jiannu must be dead. Huang Sheng is ready to make the most of the fatal loophole that there is no water source in the fortress that Jiannu has deployed, and make Jiannu pay for their negligence.

Huang Sheng also lost no time in explaining to the family members how to stick to one place, food, water, firewood, grass, cotton clothes, these things that do not seem too important if they are not fully prepared, will be fatal shortcomings.

This time, Jiannu's fatal omission was that there was no water source in Wanghai Dun, and the family members all put themselves in the command position of this battle at the request of Huang Sheng, thinking about how to defeat Jiannu at the lowest cost.

They all thought about it for a few days while observing, and thought of many ways, but they were all far-fetched, and now everyone saw that they had been given a chance because of the stupidity of the enemy commander, and everyone thought so, and everyone had a smile of understanding on their faces.

Huang Sheng looked at these brave and simple warriors, and felt quite gratified, the stupid Jiannu didn't know a single big word, what is the reason why there will be an endless stream of famous generals?

It is because they often fight, often win battles, and experience the true meaning of war in battles that are constantly won.

He also deliberately cultivated the soldiers under his command, and taught them the culture by hand, explained the art of war to them, and encouraged them to think, so that what would happen to them tomorrow over time?

In this battle, it is necessary to train new recruits to the greatest extent, and strive to make more people who have never been on the battlefield see blood, except for those who are scheduled to land on the battlefield, and bring more than half of the gunners and Shui Shui to participate in the ambush battle.

The gunners were armed not with artillery, but with guns, sixteen gunners wielding sixteen guns with triangular brackets with the cooperation of the same number of sailors. Their mission was not to fight the three Jiannu who fetched water, but to participate in the elimination of the cavalry who came to find the missing Jiannu who fetched water.

In order to fight an ambush in the ice and snow, the women of Huangjiashan Island used white canvas, cotton, and tinned steel wire to sew thick and warm cotton armor, gloves, and hats that could protect their faces.

The helmets and visors were also sewn with white canvas, and each person also had a warm white cape, which could be used both as a camouflage and as a quilt.

Huang Sheng asked the family to wear the Ming standard cotton armor inside, increasing the protective effect, and now standing in the ice and snow does not feel cold, and it is not easy to be found by the enemy, their whole body is tightly wrapped, only a dozen shutter-like gaps on the face armor are outside.

The infantry spearman also needs to be equipped with an extra layer of iron armor, and with such protection, a thirty paces distance Jiannu Foot Bow cannot penetrate directly.
