In the afternoon, they came to the pre-selected ambush position in northern latitude. This is the easternmost area of Lingao County, which is close to Chengmai County.

Beiwei personally walked the official road from Lingao to Qiongzhou before, selected four or five suitable locations for ambushes, and finally selected the place closest to Lingao County, after all, it is better to be closer to his own base, in case there is any accident in the county seat, it is also convenient to return to help.

It will take them more than half a day to get here, and with the marching speed of the Ming army, it is almost a day's journey, and at this distance, presumably the vigilance of the Ming army should not be too high.

Contrary to the original speculation of deep ravines and high valleys and treacherous cliffs, the overall terrain of this ambush area selected by the northern latitude is quite flat. There used to be a narrow valley road, but the northern latitude built yì to plant explosives in a wide area one or two kilometers away from the valley road.

"People are definitely vigilant in dangerous environments, but after just getting out of this environment, it is inevitable to relax, and it is not easy to find our arrangement. In addition, the Ming army should have sorted out their ranks after passing through the narrow mountain road in Guò, and at this time their formation was more concentrated, and the effect of blowing up was better. ”

Beiwei is a seasoned veteran, and is extremely careful in these subsections.

"For us, the wide, flat ground makes it easy for the Hummer to play to its advantage. In the chaos, the heavy vehicles of the rear team of the Ming army easily blocked the valley road and prevented them from escaping. ”

"Then simply plant explosives at the mouth of the valley, blow up the mountain pass after the battle, completely block the enemy's retreat, and wrap their dumplings! How is it? ”

The young man Hu Kai was murderous. But Pang Yu and the others shook their heads at the same time:

"No, if we cut off all ways of life and force them to fight to the death, it will be troublesome, after all, we have few people and can't fight a war of annihilation."

So the tone of the battle was set, and they would fight an ambush and a rout. After that, lunch was organized and a temporary camp was set up...... All this work has been arranged long ago. At this time, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and Pang Yu, Lin Hanlong and other engineering and technical personnel followed Tang Jian and them to investigate the site and consider the problem of explosives being planted.

According to the intelligence observed by Shu Zhong, the Ming Dynasty army dispatched was about 3,500 to 4,000 men, marching in two columns. If the average distance between the soldiers is meters, then their entire team will be stretched to a full two kilometers long.

The traversers wanted the explosives planted to blow up as many Ming troops as possible at once, so the range of this minefield should also be as large as possible. Combined with the amount of explosives they have on hand. After the overall planning. In the end, the buried range was about 1,000 meters! The distance between each explosion point is relatively long, and efforts are made to give full play to the maximum lethality of directional mines.

Play big if you want to play! There are more than 100 explosive points, and each explosive point is equipped with at least 10 to 15 kilograms of high explosives...... Most of the results of the comrades in the chemistry group who have worked hard for half a year are here. Lin Hanlong shouted that he had never done such a large-scale blasting and demolition project in his life.

Several adjacent explosion points are connected by fuses, and the detonation method is a mixture of wireless remote-controlled electronic lighters and electric detonators, for which a batch of electric remote-controlled toys and a number of lamp holders in the cargo hold of the ship were dismantled, which is a bit wasteful, but there is no other way.

Lighting a fuse in front of thousands of enemies? No one here is so sure, and no one wants to be a martyr just to save some electronic equipment.

Pang Yu roughly estimated the overall amount of work, and felt that it would probably take about two to three days. How much time they had to set up this ambush circle depended on how fast the Ming army marched. can be at this point. No one can say for sure.

According to the Song Dynasty military book "Wujing General Essentials": "All the army walks in the road." Ten miles of rest, thirty miles of dry grain, sixty miles of food and lodging", that day should be about 30 kilometers. But when I asked Lao Slipper and the others, they said that they had only been twenty miles a day and ten kilometers from the front army! This gap is huge, is the Ming Dynasty army not as good as the Song Dynasty?

Tang Jian and others did not dare to be careless, and the official road between Qiongzhou and Lingao was about 120 or 30 kilometers. In other words, the time for the Ming army masters to complete this journey will be between four and twelve days. The uncertainty of this really makes everyone feel quite troublesome.

Of course, no matter how fast the Ming army goes. There is always enough time to set up an ambush circle here, and to install explosive mines. But they didn't dare to bury it too soon. Hainan Island has a humid climate, and it is now the rainy season in spring. Explosives and fuses are buried in the soil for a long time, and they are inevitably damp. Although there is also a moisture-proof treatment, it will be troublesome if you are unlucky and encounter rain.

Therefore, it has become a crucial task to find out the footsteps of these Ming troops, and there is no good way to continue to send people to keep an eye on it. Shu Zhong was still lurking on the side of Qiongzhou Mansion to see if any follow-up troops were sent. This scout operation obviously requires professional scouts with rich experience and strong combat effectiveness.

Beiwei took on this task without shirking his responsibility, and of course he did not act alone. After carefully explaining the key points of mine laying to the technicians and giving a demonstration in person, he ordered eight armed personnel, including Xie Xie, Wang Haiyang, and Wang Haiyang to form a reconnaissance team with him, and the team even included two locals, including a son of the old slippery head Zhang Lushan.

Two five-and-a-half and two copycat Remington shotguns were allotted to them, and one pistol was not available to the locals, of course, but each of them was given a strong crossbow and a few crossbow arrows. These are not counted, Beiwei also brought a few press-haired mines and test grenades that Engineer Xu Hui had just made a few days ago, which was not like going to reconnoiter the ground, but like going to block the attack.

"It's not just reconnaissance, if they march too fast, it's necessary to harass and delay it. Besides, the other party's march will definitely send a leading scout, and I would like to see what the level of these Ming Dynasty predecessors is. ”

Beiwei explained his motives in this way, and his tone was still indifferent, but the people who heard this next to him inevitably shuddered, and secretly felt silent for those "predecessors of the Ming Dynasty".

Everyone allocated three mountain bikes for the reconnaissance team to carry supplies, but many times these vehicles themselves may also need manpower to carry them, of course, this does not need Pang Yu to worry about. After the reconnaissance team set off, he, Lin Hanlong and others immediately led all the strong laborers to devote themselves to the intense digging work.

Halfway through the work, Lin Hanlong suddenly raised his head and looked at this area, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"What's wrong? Has the plan changed? ”

Pang Yu asked, but Lin Hanlong shook his head and pointed to the ground in front of him:

"You said that this two-kilometer radius has been dug up, no matter how we cover it up afterwards, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be exactly the same as the original, right?"

Looking at the front, Pang Yu nodded in agreement. Indeed, it is the warm spring season, and the land is full of new flowers and tree buds, and after digging up, it will definitely be different from the surrounding natural scene, no matter how careful and careful it is. At that time, the other party's three or four thousand pairs of eyes were watching, and it was impossible for no one to pay attention.

"What a nuisance...... But it's not that it can't be solved. ”

"Oh? And what's the best idea? ”

Tang Jian next to him also came over, it seemed that this problem was also bothering him, Pang Yu smiled, and paused deliberately:

"Have you heard a story? Once upon a time, there was a miserly boss who specialized in selling furniture, and he wanted someone to help him paint a new cabinet, but he took out an old cabinet and specified that it had to be painted exactly the same before he was willing to pay. Many people have tried and failed to be deceived by labor in vain, but a young carpenter has easily managed to do it...... Guess how he did it? ”

"Okay, okay, don't sell it, if you have something to say, say it directly!"

Tang Jian's mind was obviously very heavy, and he didn't have the patience to play with a sense of humor, so Pang Yu had to tell the truth:

Well, it's actually quite simple, and he painted both cabinets. To paraphrase the situation here: we can't make the ambush area look the same as the surrounding environment, but we can make the surrounding environment similar to the ambush location! ”

Lin Hanlong and Tang Jian looked at each other, they really didn't expect this move, and Pang Yu waved his hand with interest:

"So, brethren, let's hurry up and dig the pit! Dig more holes! ”

In the following three or four days, the engineering team and all the strong laborers here acted together, not only completing the amount of earthwork needed to plant the mines ahead of schedule, but also moving along the official road, indiscriminately breaking ground on the roadside, and wreaking havoc.

A new clump of flowers is pretty? Dig! A young tree that has just sprouted? Chopped! The surface of the official road and both sides of the road are full of caves like a rat plague, extending out for twenty or thirty kilometers, and they are about to reach Chengmai County, so they are more restrained. Occasionally, there were pedestrians on the road, and those who got too close were detained, and those who were too far away were shot to scare away. Some people were worried that after those people escaped, they would probably go to tell the Ming army that there were short-haired bandits on this road, but Pang Yu didn't mind:

"It's okay, the report is done. Even if there are no pedestrians to report, they will take the initiative to warn them......"
