Thirty and eighty is a stumbling block!

"That's how these wires are used...... It's as a antler thorn, but it's simple and straightforward. To read the latest chapters, please lock in the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info"

Liao Yong had seen this large roll of barbed wire on the ship before, and he didn't know what it was used for at the time, but now he understands. Dare to love this thing is equivalent to the thorns used by the Ming army to resist horses. Zhao Yi next to him first blushed for a while, but then shook his head and sighed:

"Good thing, but it's a pity that we can't afford to use it - only shorthair is so extravagant, and can make a thorn fence entirely out of iron. If we have so much iron, we might as well make more spears and swords. ”

"This thing is also only useful for troops with pure firearms like the Qiongzhou Army, who can directly hit the enemy outside the wall. Ordinary melee soldiers cannot go up to defend. ”

Zhou Sheng thought about it the most, and had already understood the Qiongzhou army's method of defending the fortress - the Qiongzhou navy had dug trenches before, and the earth walls were not used to prevent the enemy from charging into battle, but only to protect the opponent's bows, arrows, artillery and other long-range weapons. With these barbed wire fences laid on the outermost perimeter, the attacking troops could not rush in directly and engage in hand-to-hand combat. These barbed wire fences are not impregnable, and it only takes time to find a way to destroy or remove them, but the whole process will be under the threat of firearms from the Qiongzhou army. And with the firepower of the Qiongzhou Army, I believe that no one will be able to complete this work calmly.

"The camp is solid now...... It's just a makeshift camp for one night, so what's going on with all the effort? ”

Now they feel that Shorthair is too wasteful, and it costs so much iron to build a camp. But this arrangement worked immediately that night—at midnight a group of daring strangers crept in and tried to burrow into the camp. But the men couldn't get from underneath - the ground was full of thistles, and they had never been trained to climb over barbed wire, and soon the bell on the barbed wire was ringing.

As soon as the bell rang, the patrol officers on duty immediately came, and the guards on the watchtower also immediately lit the searchlights, and the pillars of light soon rotated to this point, these searchlights were lit by very large kerosene lamps, and reflected by bowl-shaped silver-plated metal plates, although the brightness was far less than that of modern spotlights that glowed with carbon rod arcs, and much stronger than lantern torches and the like.

Under the bright pillar of light, I saw more than a dozen armed men in black clothes and black pants sneakily gathering somewhere on the edge of the camp, trying to rescue several accomplices who were "hanging" on the barbed wire fence and could not retreat. Hu Kai, who happened to be in charge of tonight's night duty troops, was helpful and a cool man, so he didn't bother to track down the identities of these people, so he simply ordered to use muskets to help them solve the difficulties......

After a few gunshots, the surviving man in black no longer had the luxury of rescuing his companions, and ran away into the night. Although the gunfire shook the whole battalion, the troops still maintained their original posture, and except for the personnel on duty, none of them left the camp.

Zhou Sheng, Liao Yong, and Zhao Yi were all awakened by the sound of gunfire, and Liao Yong poked his head out of the tent and looked around, and when he saw that the surroundings were normal, he did not dare to go out - the Qiongzhou army was very strict at night, and even if they were clear envoys, they would be punished if they ran around the camp without a reasonable reason. In fact, this aspect is the same in the Ming army, as long as it is a strictly disciplined unit, after nightfall, no other sound can be heard except for more drum orders.

In the main tent of the Chinese army, Xie Xi and the others, who were discussing the military situation, naturally heard the gunshots, but none of them moved-if Hu Kai could not control the situation, there would naturally be an alarm on the guard tower, and the gunfire itself would not explain anything. After a few people were stunned for a moment, they still turned their attention to the map on the table:

"Judging from the current shape of the two sides and the three armies, our army has the smallest number and the most dangerous position, and it is obviously the best soft persimmon to pinch - if I am the commander of the other party, I will definitely want to clean up us first, and then turn back to deal with the Daming Shandong camp."

After comparing the written messages recorded in the northern latitudes, and after some detailed analysis, Pang Yu reaffirmed his judgment during the day that the rebels would definitely regard this side as their main target. After all, no matter how you look at it, the Qiongzhou army, which has only two or three thousand soldiers and horses, and has no rear to rely on with its back to the sea, is the weakest side, and even if there are defeated troops who have fled from Dengzhou crying to them about how strong this side is, it will not have much effect - it is always difficult for human beings to believe in things beyond their imagination until they see it with their own eyes.

Of course they will regret it, but by then it will be too late.

"We can only predict the actions of our opponents, and we can only plan for the worst-case scenario. The key is our own actions, but we need to be more careful -- what is the next step for the staff group? ”

"Two thousand people, don't dare to divide the troops, so you can't play any complicated tactics. Our construction was to find a suitable place to use as a stumbling block to block the road from Huang County to Dengzhou Mansion, so that the rebels would not have the opportunity to threaten the back of the prefecture, nothing more. ”

In response to the inquiry, Ao Sayan opened his mouth to respond, and Ma Qianshan next to him frowned and said:

"The Shandong Plain is not a dangerous place, the terrain is mostly flat, even if we block one road, can't the other party pass through other roads, or simply go around in the wild?"

"It's not that easy to get around in the wilderness."

Pang Yu on the side said with a smile:

"The terrain here in Shandong is flat, but there are rocks and trees everywhere outside the official road, and the infantry can still walk, and the horses and vehicles are troublesome. Moreover, it is very important to maintain the formation of the large corps when marching, and it can only be advanced along the road. Therefore, as long as we block the official road, the other side will not be able to bypass it unless it is willing to disperse tens of thousands of people and abandon all the baggage vehicles and horses. ”

"As for the other roads...... According to the report of the reconnaissance brigade and the map, there are no large villages and towns in this area to the interior, and there is no road wide enough, and the only official road between Denghuang and Huang that can lead to the army is under our feet. As long as this road is blocked, the other party wants to bypass us, unless it is a few dozen kilometers inland to the east, to a small village called Yangjiadian, and then to the north, and then to Dengzhou, and then to reach Dengzhou, in the meantime to climb over a hill called Longshan...... The time and distance will be greatly increased, and the other party will certainly not make this choice unless it is a last resort. ”

Next to him, Ao Sayan also held his glasses and smiled and added, he is a person who likes to make plans according to the documents, although the original historical records are not needed, he can still hold the reconnaissance report and atlas and other materials, and read them with relish.

The opinions of the two staff officers clearly touched everyone, and everyone looked at each other with approval in their eyes. At this time, the scout captain Beiwei added another sentence, which strengthened everyone's determination:

"If I want to find a blocking position, I have a good position -- about ten miles further on, there is a good terrain, which happens to be on the edge of the crossing of the Huangshui River, and even if there are small roads around it, they must be concentrated here to cross the river, which is very suitable for setting up a blocking position."

For the proposed location of the northern latitude, Ozyan immediately marked the corresponding location on the map:

"We have noticed this place before, but that position is a little close to Huang County, and it is a vital place, and after we take it, it will definitely greatly stimulate the opponent. Once you gain a foothold there, you'll probably be locked in a series of fierce battles. ”

"Anyway, sooner or later, it's going to be fought, what's there to taboo. According to the confessions of those prisoners, although the previous battle of Shahe could not be fought, the Ming army's fighting spirit was even stronger than before. We only need to hold back the rebels there for a few days, and wait for the Ming army in the rear to arrive, and then the two sides will be caught like this......"

Beiwei clasped his hands together and made a squeezing gesture, hehe sneered. The dismissal, who had been silent, compared the map, and after a little thought, he made a decisive decision and adopted the advice of the scout captain:

"Very good, let's go to the Huangshui River ferry and make a stumbling block with peace of mind"

…………

Protected by a strong camp, the whole army rested well this night, despite being in a dangerous position. It was not until the next morning, when everyone got up to freshen up, that some people went out to see the excitement -- five or six corpses were carried down from the barbed wire, and several others were killed nearby, a total of more than ten people, and the officers on duty were digging pits to bury them. There were also some oil canisters, fireballs and other things scattered indiscriminately next to it, probably trying to disturb it while it was dark, but it turned out that the chickens were not eaten and the rice was stolen.

Zhou Liao, who is a Jinyi guard, went over to take a closer look in the name of "assisting in the inspection" and determined that it was a "night not collected" horse exploration horse belonging to the rebels. The rebel system is similar to that of the Ming Army, these "night do not collect" must be the elite of the rebel army, and those who are not skilled in archery and horses, and who are brave and brave cannot serve, otherwise they will not dare to attack the military camp with only dozens of people. More than a dozen were killed at once, which is not a small loss.

The two of them felt "sorry" for the bad luck of the rebels - and now they had learned to use that word, too. While returning to the accommodation camp tent to pack up the covers, he saw that the orderly soldiers had come to help clean up the tents, and Zhao Yi sighed there all kinds of whimsical ideas of the Qiongzhou army - it turned out that they said yesterday that this army was too wasteful, and today when they saw the Qiongzhou army pull out the camp, they realized that these short hairs were actually very economical: the barbed wire was extremely lightweight, it was arranged quickly, and it was just as simple to recycle, and the fixed pile could be pulled out and rolled into a roll again; Including the iron thistle terrestris on the ground, it was also swept up with a broom and reloaded; Then dismantle the combined watchtower...... When the Qiong navy left, this temporary camp site was not even a little garbage except for some trenches and earthen walls, and it was cleaner than any Ming barracks.

I'm about to take an exam, and I'm nervous.
