Yang Guozhu had participated in the Battle of Julu, and was deeply impressed by Wang Dou's chest wall trench tactics back then, and nodded again and again after listening to it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, there are more than these, in Wang Dou's imagination, there are nine low walls and trenches, which are divided into three waves.

There are three low wall trenches between each wave, each wall is only a few steps apart, or a dozen steps apart, and the upper and lower shooting boundaries are obvious.

Every time the Qing soldiers attacked a low wall, they had to face the fierce blows of the upper and lower fire points, and from time to time they had to face the 10,000 enemies, ash bottle bullets, poisonous smoke bombs and other weapons thrown from the three low walls. I must take care of the bottom, I can't take care of the top, I can't take care of the top, I can't take care of the bottom, and I am embarrassed.

And the three waves, each wave is about 50 paces apart, 100 steps, between the open space, can set up some tents and bamboo tents, as a place for the wounded and wounded soldiers to ambulance, a place for the soldiers to rest, and a place for the soldiers with cold weapons to attack.

Between each low wall, there are many empty spaces for the warriors inside the wall to attack according to the situation. Is the Jingbian Army a tofu scum soldier, waiting to be defended? Since there is defense and attack, and the defense attacks from time to time, even the soldiers of the baggage battalion are no exception!

Of course, these low wall vacancies are irregular, for example, the first low wall vacant place enters, but it is faced with a thick wall, and you need to take a few steps to the left or right, a dozen steps, to continue to touch the empty road.

Moreover, in the vacant space of the low wall in front of each wave, artillery can also be placed, such as the Franc machine, the Baizi gun, etc., which are specialized in scattering bullets and hitting out with one shot, which will make the Qing soldiers who attack the wall cry wolf and howl, and they are miserable.

And that's not all, the guards of these low walls, and the numerous protrusions, like the horse-faced enemy platforms of the city walls, can shoot from the side at the enemies who attack the low wall trenches.

With the power of the Jingbian army's firearms, there can be a convex wall every one hundred and fifty paces. To prevent dead ends. The front end of the convex wall needs to be built with an acute angle.

For example, in the first wave of the first low wall of the road, there are two convex wall arches on the left and right. so that the opening is as if it were recessed into it. When the enemy attacked the passage, he fell under fire from the left and right ends.

It is on the northeast side of the mountain by the river. Not far from the river, several low walls were also built, all the way to the northwest of the mountain, one to protect the water source, and the other to prevent the enemy from attacking along the river, after all, the river is not deep, only to the knees.

Although the northwest part of Changling Mountain is steep and ravine-like, it is prudent. It is also necessary to set up several lines of defense to prevent the elite soldiers of the eastern captives, such as the Bayala soldiers, from risking their lives to attack.

At last. Artillery is erected at the top of the hill. Take the fire road pier as the viewing point, and the surrounding situation. Glance.

Listening to Wang Dou coming one by one, all the generals of the Jingbian Army quickly calculated the deployment of the general in their hearts. Some of the praise paintings of the handsome camp even imagined in their hearts what it would look like if the Changling Mountain defense line was placed on the sand table.

The generals of the Jingbian Army had a high degree of education and a strong degree of professionalism, and soon, everyone drew up a three-dimensional map of the protection of Changling Mountain in their hearts. The officers and generals of the general army in front of him understood some and some didn't understand, but according to Wang Dou, they all felt that the defense line of Changling Mountain was so powerful.

After Wang Douyi finished talking about his own ideas, he sneered: "So, Donglu also wants to occupy my Changling Mountain?" If you don't die 20,000 people, it's delusional! ”

Everyone was taken aback, according to Wang Dou's arrangement, the thieves and slaves captured Changling Mountain, and 20,000 people were going to die?

However, looking at the sneering Wang Dou, and looking at the expressions of the generals beside him, everyone felt a chill rise to their hearts, and they couldn't help but believe it. All of them are mournful and mournful, and if they storm this place, they will surely shed blood.

Everyone was glad that Wang Dou was on his side, otherwise if he let himself attack the mountain, he would not be able to attack even if his command was dead.

Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Fu Yingchong, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and others were very happy, Wang Dou was from their faction, the stronger Wang Dou, the more secure they were.

Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of Jizhen, Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Miyun, looked at Wang Dou with a complicated expression, damn this kid, there is a set of governing the army and fighting a war, and it is not okay to be unconvinced. …,

Hong Chengchou also greatly appreciated it after pondering it, and asked: "Zhongyong Bo this method, but follow Xu Junmen's actions in the city back then?" ”

Wang Dou said: "Almost." ”

The city that Hong Chengchou said was a triangular three-story hollow enemy platform proposed by Xu Guangqi and his courtier Matteo Ricci. However, Xu Guangqi's city is extremely difficult to build, it needs to be stacked with large stones, and the city wall is also extremely strong and thick, divided into three layers, the lower layer is placed with a large gun, and the middle and upper layers are gradually smaller, which is a kind of fortress.

Although he also uses geometric defensive methods, it is quite rudimentary, digging some low walls and trenches.

What he relies on is the brave warriors under his command. Although his own method of protection is effective, if the sergeant does not dare to fight, it is also in vain.

Moreover, this geometric defense system, although it seems simple, is only digging trenches and accumulating walls, but it involves complex civil engineering, which cannot be done by old craftsmen. However, although it is complicated, many mathematical talents in the baggage camp can still easily draw drawings and then act according to the map.

Zhang Ruoqi and the civil officials also strongly agreed after thinking about it, and everyone believed that according to the actions of the loyal and brave uncle, the cost is small, the effect is large, and there is no need to overhaul the civil engineering, just let the soldiers of the camp, and even let the people do it, dig some soil, build some walls, and it is worth promoting.

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen were also very moved, and the two of them defended Wudaoling, and they could do the same, and they decided to wait for the completion of the fortifications of Changling Mountain, and then go back to paint the gourd in the same way.

However, the Changling Mountain defense line needed a lot of artillery, and Wang Dou heard that when Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong, was in the battle of Xingshan, the hundred sons of the Che battalion showed their skills and killed a lot of enemies. It seems that there are still many things worth digging in Daming's science and technology, and there are many weapons that are not equipped in their own army.

Therefore, Wang Dou asked Hong Du to support some Baizi Gong and arrange them on the defense line of Changling Mountain, and Hong Chengchou happily agreed. At this time, there were not many Hongyi cannons in the Ming army, but there were still many small cannons such as Baizi Gong.

In fact, according to the ten questions raised by Kechen Zhang Jinyan about the siege of Songjin after the Battle of Songshan in history, the Battle of Songshan was mentioned, and the number of chariots and artillery used by the Ming army was mentioned. There were 2,000 chariots and 2,000 artillery pieces.

Moreover, when Songshan City was broken in history, the Qing army captured 150 general cannons, 4,000 cannons of general cannons, and more than 10 gunpowder rooms from the city. When breaking Xingshan and Tashan, more than 400 large and small general cannons were captured. Tens of thousands of pounds of gunpowder.

Visible. There was no shortage of small artillery in the Ming army, and Hong Chengchou promised to support 50 guns on the spot, depending on the increase in the future battle situation. After all. The Changling Mountain defense line, and the current Hong Chengchou and other officials and generals also attach great importance to it.

……

After that, everyone went to Wudaoling. There are also patrols in Daxingbao and Dongqingbao, discussing fortifications, and even patrolling as far as Beacon Mountain.

As a transit place for the transportation of grain and straw at sea for the army, this place is extremely vigilant, and there are sailors patrolling on the sea from time to time, and there are constantly fleets transporting military grain to Liaodong.

The sea was choppy, and the waves crashed on the reef from time to time, splashing bursts of silver flowers, and many officials and generals who saw the sea for the first time. There was a look of horror on their faces, even the generals of the Jingbian Army were no exception. The sea is full of pride. Equally. It also makes those who don't understand afraid.

Since the crossing, Wang Dou has not seen the sea for a long time. Looking at the fleet full of white sails, I was relaxed and happy at the same time, and at the same time, I also thought secretly. Beacon Hill is famous for its historical records, and now it has its own arrival, how will the history books of later generations record the place?

As for Jinzhou, before the solidarity was cut off in May this year, Zu Dashou had sent a pawn to report to the imperial court, saying that the food in the city was enough to support half a year, and the salary was insufficient.

Now it has only been two months, Zu Dashou is brave and strategic, and the defenders in the city are no less than 20,000, although the information says that the Dongnu army continues to attack Jinzhou, forcing the Ming army to go to the rescue. However, everyone believes that Jinzhou is quite strong, and it is not something that can be captured by the Dongyu army for a while, and the top priority is to set up a defense line to protect the back road. …,

Therefore, after surveying the terrain one by one, on July 25, the 14th year of Chongzhen, Changling Mountain and other defensive places urgently broke ground and built fortifications.

……

Yesterday, after the officers and generals patrolled Changling Mountain, Sun Sanjie, the general of the Jingbian Army, led the battalion headquarters to praise the paintings, as well as the generals under the battalion. Intelligence officers in the Combine Army, conducting detailed surveys of the Changling Mountains.

And quickly made a sand table, drew a drawing of the defense line, and handed it over to the chief general Wang Dou for approval, Wang Dou thought it was feasible, and approved it on the same day.

The tiring work such as digging trenches and building walls was mainly carried out by Ding Zhuang, a man who accompanied the army and civilians, and some local military households in western Liaoning, and the soldiers of the baggage battalion were on the side to guide.

Now all parts of western Liaoning are caught in the flames of war, and the local military households are naturally unable to farm, and their grain and grass must be supplied from the rear. In addition, in order to supply the grain and straw materials of more than 200,000 troops on the front line, the Ming Dynasty also requisitioned countless young men who could not pay the service money to support the front line.

In the south and north of the world, people from all over the world gathered on the front line of Liaodong, from inside the pass to outside the pass, all the way to transport grain and grass for the army.

These people are calculated according to the price of the border wall castle on the border of the Ming Dynasty, about one cent of rice and silver per day, and five cents of silver for salt and vegetables, and the same is true for the soldiers who did not fight in Liaodong. According to the current prices of the Ming Dynasty, they generally can't eat enough, and they are tired and tired every day, which is very hard.

After coordinating with Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong who was in charge of transporting grain and straw in Liaodong, the Jingbian army issued a call at noon on the 24th to work and eat enough every day and pay back two cents of silver every day.

Most of these people are people from the same township and village who gather together, and their accents are complicated, and nine out of ten are illiterate. This was the national situation of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and Sun Sanjie, the general of the baggage battalion, did not care about it, depending on the number of their fellow villagers and villages, they were divided into more than 100 teams with a team of 50 or 100 people.

In each team, there is one team leader and two team vice-presidents, and the prestige people in the team are appointed to make proper arrangements one by one.

On the morning of the second day, the defense line of Changling Mountain broke ground, and before the start of construction, the sky was slightly bright, and the cooking trucks of the baggage battalion were densely gathered at the foot of the mountain.

The firefighters were busy, one by one the fragrant flatbread was quickly prepared, and there were pots of broth boiling, mixed with dry meat seasonings, etc., the rich aroma wafted out from time to time, and the people who were waiting on the side were salivating and discussing.

"These Jingbian soldiers are really well-fed, look at that big cake, most of them are white noodles and Cheng!"

"You only know now, who doesn't know in the Ming Dynasty now, the Jingbian Army is the most powerful in battle, and the food treatment is also the best."

"I heard that the people on the East Road of Xuanfu Town are called Taoyuan, everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, and no one starved to death in the year of the great drought!"

"Real Fake ......"

"It must be true, you see those Jingbian officers and soldiers, or baggage soldiers, all of them are full of red faces, they look more like the lord of our village, they really want to join the Jingbian army......"

"Just like you, you want to join the Jingbian Army? …… I'm pretty much ......."

"I heard that it is very difficult to join the Jingbian Army."

"What kind of cars are they? It's much more convenient than burying a pot to cook. The domain name has been changed to
