The army continued to hunt indiscriminately for about three or four days, and the flames and bones in the village and town announced the consequences of betraying the Shimazu family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The next day, Mo Yi saw that the Shimazu family used indiscriminate killing to stimulate the nerves of the defenders in the city, so he decided to put the main force on the siege of the defenders, and let the samurai organize all the peasant soldiers and the standing outpost to converge, Mo Yi was indeed afraid of the decisive attack of more than 800 people in the city.

Although these 800 people were absolutely certain to die under the arrangement of Shimazu Iehisa, it was tantamount to a fatal blow to the reserve guarding this group of madmen.

However, when the main formation of Suiping moved the army, the banner of Jiajiu brought a military order. The order was to put Suiping's army into the besieging reserves.

The reserve that took over the siege of the city was taken over by a few reserve forces that had just plagued several nearby villages and towns.

If the military formation is mobilized in this way, it means that now Shimazu Iehisa's reserve is not only his own 500 people participating in the direct siege of the city, but also several other reserves belonging to the Shimazu family's division will be thrown into the direct siege, and the military strength of the besieging group is also the most fierce Satsuma samurai of the Shimazu family.

Although Shimazu Iehisa's strategy was correct, the army that went out to hunt for indiscriminate made a lot of profits.

This group of people now has wine, meat, and even women.

The peasants and soldiers of the Shimazu Suihei Honjin and even some of the samurai looked at the guys who were partying all night outside the siege, and there was a little envy in their eyes, which would affect their morale.

So in the end, Mo Yi opened the mask and drank a sip of water carefully, and also made a suggestion to the young master by the way, that is, when he returned to Satsuma after this raid, he should not let the army rest under the shrine.

After all, shrine maidens are part-time sex workers these days, and they are not only dedicated but also charge much cheaper and more reasonable than the Ijiin Machishita Chaya.

Mo Yi also put forward this consideration as the reason for the unrest of the peasants and soldiers living in this reserve, and this was actually an extremely reasonable military suggestion.

It's a pity that Mo still didn't take into account that the war had just begun, and now it was a bit inappropriate or unlucky to talk about retreat.

So before this kind of nonsense was finished, Sui Ping pulled back the mask that Mo Yi had just pulled to her forehead and perfectly covered her face.

So the meaning of such a clean and neat action itself is to shut her up quietly, whether it is a little unhappy Mo Yi or pulled the mask up and proposed the next strategy.

It is about the method of more than 400 people in Suiping to join the reserve of the siege, after all, there is a big difference between arranging the siege army and responding to the reserve.

Mo Yi's method of besieging the city was also very quick to put forward a slightly different method of counter-breakout in today's war.

And her method is not something she can come up with out of thin air, the source of this method is the plan mentioned in Article 28 of the textbook-like "Roman Military System" in the era of cold weapons.

When the besieging troops prevented the soldiers in the city from counterattacking, they often dug trenches out of the range of bows and arrows, and reinforced them with enclosures, stakes, and even small towers on the outside; In case of a surprise attack from the city, you can also rely on this to resist for a while. And this kind of facility is called lorica (small breastwork).

Mo Yi did think carefully about the military system of the Warring States period, and it was unlikely that the Romanesque small chest would be adopted.

Because both the land of one arrow and the size of the trench were carried out according to the strict measurement method in the Roman military system, and now in the Warring States period, there are not enough craftsmen among this group of warriors to measure. Therefore, Mo Yi can only adopt the idea of this defensive wall and arrange the position in a compromise.

Her method was to let the army descend from the mountain, blocking the main road outside the city, rather than directly building a fortress under the city, so as to threaten the military strength in the city.

Of course, the method of defense is not to use a simple fence and a lookout oar.

Her method was to use deep trenches and hedges, and to place archers and pikemen along the mountain.

As for the problem of tidying up the hedges, because it was the first time for these peasants and soldiers to carry out such civil engineering work, Mo Yi still invited the young master to supervise the work of these peasants and soldiers on the spot.

The wooden poles of the hedges she chose were about one and a half high, and they had to be buried in the soil at least half a distance, and each one was carefully examined before being tied with a wooden rattan or other rope.

In the end, there are more people in the village, and after complaining for a while, they had to dig more than two layers according to Mo Yi's instructions.

However, the hedge was placed in front of the trench to delay the attack, allowing the archers and pikemen hiding behind the trench to inflict maximum damage on the enemy.

As for the earthen wall behind the trench, Mo Yi still commanded the peasant soldiers to build it with adobe blocks dug out of the trench, and the old way to check the work of these peasants was that the earthen wall must reach the height of one person and the width of two arms.

And this width is almost twice the width of a house in the countryside, and this job still does not let them out of their old job of working in the countryside.

After all, Mo Yi had also done farm work when she lived in Izumi County before, and after she explained the general layout in the way she built a house here, it took nearly two days or so for nearly 200 farmers to set up their camp with barely enough rice.

Although the other besieging armies were already flying their flags, Mo Yi would not be lazy in civil engineering inspection for his own safety.

Therefore, the fortifications of Shimazu Suihei's army were the slowest, and it took them another two days to set up the oars for communication with the other reserves.

And now outside Ueno Castle, the position guarded by the Shimazu Suihei army can be said to be able to make it difficult for real birds to enter.

The entire camp was arranged as a gentle curved earthen wall around the city, and Mo Yi was preparing to arrange another fence in front of the hedge as a precaution.

Indeed, in order not to let these peasant soldiers slacken, Mo Yi also copied the method of the Hunan army in the late Qing Dynasty to defend the camp.

This method is to guard the troops in the camp from morning to evening, even when it is time to eat and sleep, to guard against the movement of the enemy's forces.

It's just a pity that the movement of this military strategy is so strict and dogmatic that it will make at least thirty percent of the army at all times of the day need to constantly rotate and obey their duties to be vigilant against possible surprise troops in the city.

In the end, Mo Yi's arrangement is a bit ahead of its time, and it is true that the peasants and soldiers will not have much objection to this kind of thing of building a fence to protect their own safety.

However, on top of the sentries, let those sentries watch the time of their companions' meals, and they still need to be on duty, and they are not capable of this at all.

Even if Satsuma is sharp and brave in battle.

However, Mo Yi's inflexible rules were only carried out on the fourth day, and the army of more than 400 people almost couldn't hold on.

Even the noble samurai, who felt fresh at first, squinted their eyes and showed their uncooperation without armor.

In the end, Mo Yi had no choice but to compromise into a ten-man sentry like the rest of the reserve team to rotate to guard and defend.
