On the third day of the first month of May, the No. 5 defensive line of A. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Under the planning of the Jingbian military praise painting, the three places outside Tongguan City, Yuanwanggou, Forbidden Ditch, and Xiyuan were respectively set up as three defense lines of A, B, and C.

Yuanwanggou is more than 20 miles long, in addition to the terrain of the ridge, there are about 18 places of various sizes of roads, these roads that need to be defended, from north to south, are marked as A No. 1, A No. 2, A No. 3 respectively, each number is divided into troops to guard, the responsibility is to the person.

Sun Chuanting had high hopes for the Yuanwanggou defense line, and invested a total of 10,000 new troops, and most of the soldiers of the Three Towns Battalion were also deployed here. That is, the distant ditch can not be guarded, and the wild can also retreat to the forbidden ditch, the forbidden ditch cannot be guarded, and there is the west plateau.

Of course, the West Plateau is the final bottom line, and the thieves must not be allowed to go around the West Gate, and Tongguan must have a three-dimensional defense line, and it cannot be a lonely city.

The six battalions of the Shaanxi New Army, the front, the rear, the left, the right, the center, and the baggage battalion, at this time, the defense of the No. 5 defense line is the left battalion of the new army, a thousand generals, because this road is slightly wider, it may be one of the key attack points of the thieves, and there is a guerrilla assistant under the command of Gao Jie, the general soldier of Shaanxi.

Although the guerrillas have a guerrilla battalion, the actual number of people in one battalion is no more than 1,000, and the battalion is not fully staffed with firearms and killers.

The Ming army initially set up a firearms soldier accounted for one percent, archers accounted for three percent, Hongwu 26 years had a stipulation, every 100 soldiers, divided into 10 gunners, 20 sword players, 30 archers, 40 pikemen.

However, because archery is a technical job, the requirements for all aspects of the body are very high, and the manufacture of bows and arrows is not easy, coupled with the rise of firearms, so the proportion of firearms in the Ming army is getting higher and higher, and some car battalions, baggage battalions, and firearms are even more than half.

The Qi family's army divided into firearms teams and killer teams was also widely practiced in various towns of the Ming army. In the formation of the Shaanxi side, there are 12 people in each team of firearms, and there are 10 bird gunners in it, but because of the poor quality of bird guns, most of these bird guns have become three-eyed guns.

The proportion of archers also decreased in the army. Because of the lack of training and short salaries, there are fewer people who can use a strong bow. Because of the lack of maintenance, the bows and arrows of each battalion are generally weak and weak, and the arrows fired are not a big threat to the armored soldiers, so more and more archers like to use rockets.

The same is true for the battalion, originally the killer team included the team, and a team should have five archers. The two rocketeers have now reversed, and the only people in the battalion who can use strong bows are the more than 100 guerrillas.

The general pikemen and archers in the battalion, the stickers and archers, now more and more people like to use the palladium, because the palladium can be used far away to release rockets, and it can also be used to kill the enemy when it is close.

This, of course, makes the establishment a mess. Although the combat capability of the new army is not as good as that of the battalion soldiers, it will take time. Their role will slowly give way to the Forces nouvelles.

The sky slowly brightened, the noise gradually rose, and in the loud wake-up bugle drum, the sergeants on the night vigil extinguished their torches, yawned and changed shifts with everyone in the department, and some dragged a few bloody corpses up the hill.

Last night the damn rogues sneaked up on Line 5. However, some of them were unlucky enough to step on thistles, and some were unlucky enough to step on the mines they had planted, and the sergeants who kept vigil listened to them wail for most of the night before dying, some frightened and quite relieved at the same time.

Landmines were widely used in the long-term struggle between the three sides of Shaanxi and the Mongols. Nowadays, trigger-type mines are often used, using flint as a ignition device, people step on it, and the pulley drives the flint to rotate and rub to produce sparks, and then ignite the fuse, and finally explode.

At this time, the power of mines is not very great, and they often do not kill people, but it is certain that they will blow up half of people. These are the masterpieces of the assistant battalion soldiers, planting mines and firing rockets, they are good hands, and I saw those night vigil battalion soldiers happily dragging the corpses up the hill.

In order to encourage the soldiers to fight bravely against the enemy, Sun Du set up a rich reward, and these corpses could give them a lot of silver.

Not to mention that it can attack at night, it is the elite of the thief camp, at least the level of horsemen, not the elite, how can you see it at night?

This kind of military feats are the favorite of the battalion soldiers, no, after the thieves who attacked last night were hit by a mine, the rest immediately ran back, the defense line was safe and sound, and some head-level heads were left, which was really easy and safe.

It's a pity that mines are expensive, complicated to process, and can only be used in a small area.

In the hustle and bustle, red trickles flowed out of the tents of the camps, cooking trucks gathered on the hills, the fragrance of food wafted, and the new troops of the No. 5 defense line were busy eating, flatbread with broth, as well as large pots of vegetables, and even meat porcelain jars purchased from Xuanfu Town.

This meat porcelain jar is a good thing, the meat in it has already been cut with salt and various spices and mixed well, a little frying, is a thick fragrance spreads.

For the soldiers, such a breakfast was very rich, but many people did not like it.

Since yesterday, the thieves on the opposite side have gathered more and more, and it seems that there will be a battle today. Although the battalions of the New Army have also been training for several months, they are still facing a big battle and a vicious battle, and many people are still uneasy in their hearts.

This morning's meal won't be my last, right?

Looking at them, the battalion soldiers who were eating together next to them couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority in their hearts.

The new army was well treated and favored, which made the soldiers of the towns and battalions jealous, and in the past, when they were marching and fighting, they all ate rice and miscellaneous cakes, at most with a little hard salt and dried vinegar, and often they couldn't even eat these, if they had eaten the food these days?

The sumptuous meal satisfied everyone, but it was stained with the light of the new army, and they couldn't help but be psychologically unbalanced, and when they seized the opportunity at this time, they were all whispering ridicule.

But having said that, seeing so many thieves on the other side has never seen them before, which makes them a little worried.

But compared to the new army, at least everyone has seen blood, fought many battles, and has some contempt qualifications.

"I've never seen blood, no matter how well I practice, I'm still a recruit."

Looking at the panicked new soldiers, Han Kaihui, who rode over from the plateau, thought thoughtfully.

Although he was satisfied with the defensive line, it was the first time for the new army to fight after all, and there were many battalions who were accustomed to running away to assist in the defense, so Sun Chuanting was a little uneasy and asked the mercenaries to supervise the battle.

The first battalion of the Jingbian Army, except for Huang Wei, who was on the guerrilla duty, led the Second General Army A to assist the governor Feng Shikong Shoushangzhou, the two Second Class Army were each responsible for supervising a part of the defense line, and the remaining Second General Army A was with Sun Chuanting.

There were also a thousand hussars and chassars as rangers, ready to fight everywhere.

However, at Wu Zhengchun's suggestion, the chasers in the battalion still scattered into various defense lines to wait for an opportunity to shoot the leader of the thief army.

The chasers in the Jingbian Army, formerly known as the marksmen of each department, were equipped with horses and horsemen at this time, and each of them had at least two handguns on the horse, but in fact, the original infantry was still there.

As a result, they can disperse into the various lines of defense and specialize in shooting important people of the thief army.

But they are free to move and don't have to stay in one place.

Han Kaihui, the general Jingbian Army, was responsible for supervising the No. 4 and No. 5 Divisions, but Han Kaihui was mainly responsible for No. 5, and the deputy was in charge of No. 4 and No. 4.

Their camp is also a small tunpu on a nearby plateau, and the conditions of work and rest are better than staying in the wilderness.

They also ate early, at this time, the headquarters praise, comfort, Zhenfu and others followed Han Kaihui, there was also a guard, two Zhenfu soldiers followed, everywhere they went, the new soldiers who ate cast awe-inspiring eyes, and many people also stood up to say hello, and showed a relieved look.

Although there are many thieves on the other side, but there are instructors, everyone is not afraid.

Walking to the front of No. 5, Han Kaihui got off the horse, and the commander of the new army and the battalion guerrillas who were in charge of defense hurriedly caught up, although the general in front of him was heroic and handsome, like a little white face, and young, but twenty-three or four years old, and his official position was not big, but he was the commander of the Jingbian Army.

The commanders of the New Army and the guerrillas of the battalion all know that those who can occupy high positions in the Jingbian Army are not simple, even any commander of the army cannot be underestimated.

They also inquired privately, the Han general in front of them, but the characters who fought the bloody battle of Songshan and the conquest outside the Saiwai, whether they were captured in the east or north, were extremely cruel, and they could win the battle and survive and be promoted, which shows that the Han general is not simple.

Moreover, they also knew that Han Jiang always had a backstage, not only married the niece of Lord Fu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, but also the righteous brother of Lord Zhong of the White Tiger Army, such characters have gone beyond the level of jealousy, and they are not on the same level as each other.

The general surnamed Yang of the New Army of the Left Battalion was quite admired by Han Kaihui, and most of the questions were about Han Kaihui's past battles, especially the great battle in Songshan.

The guerrilla's surname is Gao, but he is interested in the affairs of Xuanfu Town, and he is also cautious, hoping to tie up with President Han and immigrate to Xuanfu Town in the future, especially his family will send him away first.

Although Shaanxi is good, it seems that it is better to send family members to Xuanfu Town or Duhufu.

In the past, when he was a small soldier, Han Kaihui's life was very simple, as soon as he was promoted, he especially became the general manager, and after aiding Shaanxi, he felt that his life was complicated, too many people were drawn together, many people saw him handsome, and constantly introduced his daughters and nieces to the family, so that Han Kaihui was tireless.

He has already married the little lady of the Fu family, how can he still look down on others? In particular, the little lady Fu also came over with two personal maids as big girls in the room, and three women like wolves and tigers, he couldn't cope with it.

This high guerrilla is the same, openly and secretly, he sells him his family's three daughters and five nieces, and Han Kaihui is already a little afraid of seeing him.

At this time, seeing that Gao Guerrilla seemed to be about to say something, Han Kaihui took out a box of cigarettes, gave Yang Qian and Gao Guerrilla a cigarette, and said, "Go to the slope and have a look." ”

Although Han Kaihui didn't smoke, he found that it was still good to have a box of cigarettes on his body, and sure enough, he forgot what this high guerrilla wanted to say, he took the cigarette and said in surprise: "It's a lot of small cigarettes, Han Ye is arrogant." ”

Now the smoking atmosphere is very common in the north of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Xuanfu Town Cigarette Factory is even more famous, respectively producing large cigarette rolls and small cigarette rolls, the big cigarette rolls are the cloud smoke named by the Marquis of Yongning, which belongs to the governor, the governor, the director of the ministry, and the object of the Bohou grade.

There are more groups of small cigarette rolls, including sergeant brand, old armor chief, big boss, Gao Qianzong, mighty general and other brand levels, but even so, the most ordinary sergeant brand small cigarette rolls, Gao Guerrilla dare not say to buy every day. (To be continued.) )
