In a cell in Shunxiang Fort, the Qing soldiers screamed one after another, and several discipline sergeants were torturing him! Outside the west gate of the new castle in Nashun Township, there are potholes and pits of earth. It's hard to walk, let alone siege.

If the Qing soldiers attacked the city from that side, they happened to be targeted, and just filled those dirt pits, they would have to kill a lot of people, and it would be up to them to afford to die. Therefore, according to the plan, the main troops and equipment in the fort are arranged near this south gate.

According to the calculation, the old fort of Shunxiang Fort is more than 200 miles on Tuesday, with a total of more than 900 moats, more than 10 police shops, and four horse faces, especially the urn city outside the south gate. It is also a powerful barrier to protect the south gate.

There are several police shops on each wall of Shunxiang Fort, and a police shop is about two meters long and more than two meters wide. The part that protrudes from the city wall is about a meter long. The police shop protruding from the city wall has lookout holes on three sides, similar to a small horse face.

As for the horse face, along the two sides of the urn city at the south gate, fifty paces apart, there are two horse faces on each side. The part of the horse protruding from the city wall is about two meters. Three meters wide, on the battlement wall of the horse face. There is also a sight hole, and there is a shooting eye under or next to the lookout hole.

The urn city is semicircular, on the left side of the urn city, there is a door, and there is a horse face on the city wall dozens of steps away on the left, this distance is just within the shooting range of the fire system, from the left horse face, you can hit the enemy army attacking the door.

In the calculation, there are more than a dozen battlements on the urn city. There are more than 100 along the walls on both sides of the city gates. The battlement will be the main place of attack of the Qing soldiers, so it has also become the main place for the Shunxiang army

The current Shunxiang Army, with the artillery corps, does not collect at night, etc., has a total of about 1,100 soldiers from the four sentinels

Person.

In May, Shunxiang Fort already had 500 fire and more than 170 pairs of iron armor. Throughout the month of June, Li Maosen and other craftsmen rushed to work day and night, and made more than 200 fires and more than 50 pairs of iron armor. In July, to this day, there are 70 fire mirrors and more than 10 pairs of iron armor in the craftsman's workshop.

In this way, Shunxiang Fort now has a total of nearly 800 fire mirrors and more than 250 pairs of iron armor. In addition to the more than 70 fire mirror soldiers allocated to Dongjiazhuang. One hundred and twenty fire locks were allocated to the fire soldiers of Jingbian Fort, outside. There is also a grass factory built on the city wall, which is covered with thatched straw cover to shelter from the wind and rain. There is a tall bamboo pole outside the grass factory. It is used to hang team flags and lanterns. There are also thick bamboo tubes in the grass factory, which are used to insert and hang everyone's weapons.

In addition, each team of "six" has a pile of rolling logs and stones, and the rolling stones are piled up next to the battlement wall. An instrument resembling a small stone throwing machine is erected. It can be used to throw stones under the city and kill the enemy soldiers who climb the city, and the people next to them can observe the enemy situation from the lookout hole in the battlement wall, and they can command the stone beaters to throw stones.

At some of the battlements and walls, there are still some refusal beggars, and the refusal horses are full of sharp iron to the thorns, even if the Qing soldiers who climbed the city wall, in front of these refusal horses, I am afraid that they will cry and cry.

Not only that, but it was consulted by the officers in the fort. At the gate of the city, there were also several groups of rejecting horses, even if the enemy's cavalry and infantry rushed in, in the face of these rejecting horses, plus the blows of several teams of fire commanders. That kind of situation is light in terms of heavy casualties. The same. Under the roots of the city walls on both sides of the south gate, on the outside of the ditch, some important positions are also arranged with horses and horses, antler wood, thistles and other things.

After such an arrangement, the equipment in the warehouse of Shunxiang Fort was swept away.

In addition to defending the urn city, most of Han Zhong's army was arranged at the city wall on the left side of the south gate.

When Kito came here, the soldiers of the left outpost teams were sitting in the grass factory chatting, and it was almost noon, the sun was fierce, except for some soldiers who were watching, most of the remaining soldiers of the various teams were gathered in the grass factory.

In the order to defend the city stipulated by Wang Dou, except for some sergeants on duty, the rest of the soldiers defending the city were not allowed to stand under the battlements for a long time, lest the enemy army would be in poor spirits and weak to defend the city after the arrival of the enemy. In the evening, each team also takes turns to send people to keep vigil. The rest sleep peacefully.

However, no sergeant was allowed to leave the city without permission. Those who return home without permission must be court-martialed, including the captain.

These soldiers sat in the grass factory every day, and naturally felt bored.

Han Zhong walked over with Wang Dou, and seeing everyone's listless appearance, he shouted loudly: "Lift up your spirits, don't fucking want to sleep, when the light son steals it, you will sleep with this leather." Wang Dou stood on the city tower and looked far away in the direction of the Dongfang River in the east, only to see that it was flat from that side. There are groups of Qing soldiers coming towards Shunxiang Fort, they are riding on foot, and the army is in order. Wang Dou's preliminary estimate is that the number of people is more than 1,500.

In front of the Qing army, there were groups of cavalry sentries, they roared, just kept running around Shunxiang Fort, while constantly screaming at the fort in Manchurian, but there was no movement on Shunxiang Fort.

These sentries ran for a while, and after seeing the situation around Shunxiang Fort, some people then rushed back. The rest are gathered in the south of Shunxiang Fort. Presumably they also saw that in the land of Shunxiang Fort, it is more suitable to attack and camp in the south of the city.

Soon, most of the Qing soldiers rolled in, and the flags were white and red, slowly concentrating a mile south of the city.

Seeing that the Qing soldiers reached more than 1,000 people, some of the sergeants and generals around Wang Dou let out a heavy panting. Although everyone has been preparing for a long time and has the same hatred for the enemy, most of the Qing soldiers came, and the Eight Banners were under pressure for a long time. Everyone is still under great psychological pressure.

Wang Dou's expression was calm, he looked carefully, and saw that the Qing soldiers' banners and armor outside the city were all white with red edges, and he knew that this was the army of the Eight Banners with white flags.

According to Wang Dou's understanding of history, the inlaid white flag belongs to the lower four flags of the eight flags, and there are fifteen under his command. Niu Lu's army, the banner owner was originally Chu Ying's eldest son Du Du. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he served as the flag owner of his own flag.

Looking at their numbers and banners, it is estimated that there are five Niu Lu troops here, led by a Jia Lazhangjing under the inlaid white flag.

Wang Dou had watched the history books before, and the five cattle of the Jin soldiers or Qing soldiers were compiled into a Jiala, and the Jiala line was all the way, and the stop was one place, and the battle was one place, and it was like that.

This was the first time he saw most of the Qing soldiers. Wang Dou's heart was boiling, and he said fiercely: "Come on, I'm waiting for you!" ”
