"The trench covered with planks was extended all the way to the corner of the wall. Our demomans went along the trench and delivered the explosives to the corners of the city walls. Finally, detonate the explosives and blow a gap in the walls of the city wall ...

"In this way, we can take Baode County with minimal losses..."

Zhou Yuhong's facial expression, which was still frowning just now, quickly revealed a trace of excitement, and affirmed loudly to Wei Zheng: "Dashuai, this method is good....as long as the soldiers hide in the trenches, the traitors on the city wall will have nothing to do with us." ”

"However, since we are digging a trench that extends under the corner of the city wall, why don't we dig not only one, but also dig two trenches parallel to the city wall....anyway, the traitors defending the city wall can't help our soldiers hiding in the trench."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng replied angrily: "The traitors are guarding the city wall, and they really can't help us." However, what about after they got off the city wall and rushed out of the county seat..."

"Don't forget, there are 20,000 traitors who are inferior to beasts in Baode County, if they suddenly rush out of the county town and strangle with our attacking troops, do you know what will happen this time..."

"Even if we finally eliminate the traitors who dared to go out of the city and launch a counterattack against us, under the attack of 20,000 traitors who are not afraid of death, we will lose a lot in the whole process of fighting...."

"But if we dig a trench more than a hundred paces outside the city and hide more than a thousand musketeers in the trench, then these results will not occur."

"When the time comes, even if they want to go out of the city and launch a counterattack against us, the traitors who destroy the trenches will not be afraid of death. I can't stop the lead bullets from shooting them..."

"So. This trench had to be dug. Because it's not just about whether the whole plan can go ahead, it's also about the attack, our casualties and losses..."

Under the cover of dozens of mortars shelling one after another, the mighty musketeers quickly advanced the defensive line to a position of 200 steps outside the city. Then, he picked up the sapper shovel on his back and began to act as a ground mouse...

Faced with the sudden changes outside the city, the gunners who operated the artillery were eager to give the Haw Par Army a few shots. But. After a brief measurement of the distance, I had to abandon this unrealistic idea.

Because, the other side is just outside the range of the Franc machine gun to fire scattered projectiles ....

The lead bullets fired by the Franc machine in front of him, even if they fly in front of the Haw Par Army, will lose their power because the flight distance is too long.

As a last resort, the traitors who were suffering under artillery fire had to report the changes outside the city to Wu Jingtian one by one.

When Wu Jingtian climbed the city wall surrounded by a group of subordinates, the trench two hundred steps away had been dug waist-deep by the soldiers. In addition, all the soil dug up by the soldiers was piled up on the side of the city wall. Even if Wu Jingtian stood on the city wall, he could only see the heads of the soldiers of the Haw Par Army who appeared and disappeared one after another.

A trace of doubt quickly surfaced on Wu Jingtian's face. He asked the military advisor beside him, "What are the officers and soldiers doing... Dig trenches to hide from the buckshot we shoot at them..."

The military advisor shook his head and replied, "Commander, the students don't know... However, this trench is still two hundred paces away, and it basically does not have much impact on our defense of the city....The student means, let's take a look first and wait and see how it changes......"

Wu Jingtian, who didn't know the specific purpose of the Haw Par Army, could only nod helplessly with a face full of helplessness.

However, as a former opponent of the Haw Par Army, he already vaguely felt that behind the trenches dug by the Haw Par Army, there must be a conspiracy that he did not know. The only regret is that I don't know about this conspiracy.

After taking a deep breath, Wu Jingtian, who had a hint of worry in his heart, had to order: "Closely monitor every move of the officers and soldiers outside the city....If there is any situation, immediately report to the commander..."

"Besides, since the officers and troops outside the city have not launched an attack on us, we should not leave so many people on the city walls... We have limited troops, and if we can kill one brother less by the flowering shell, we will have one more brother..."

Another half an hour passed, and the traitors guarding the city wall could no longer see the soldiers of the Haw Par Army except for the dirt that was constantly thrown up from the trench two hundred paces away.

At this time, an unexpected change once again attracted the attention of the traitors of the city wall.

After the excavation of the main trench was completed, the scattered Haw Par Army officers and soldiers began to dig the crooked communication trench directly in the direction of the city wall.

Because these communication trenches are all curved, they are at an angle to the city walls. The traitors standing on the city wall still couldn't see the soldiers of the Haw Par Army who were digging forward in the communication trenches.

Of course, this is not the most shocking thing for the traitors.

When the curved traffic trench had just extended less than two battles in their direction, the Haw Par Army hiding in the trench had found a lot of wooden planks from somewhere, and built them directly on the top of the traffic trench that had just been excavated.

In this way, the traitors guarding the city wall are even more unaware of the movements of the Tiger and Leopard Army in the communication trenches.

At this time, the highest-ranking leader among the traitors in the city wall, while reporting to Wu Jingtian, the commander in the city, roared and ordered the artillery to open fire...

"Blossom bomb... Immediately fire at the trenches of the officers and soldiers with flowering shells..."

After a series of violent shelling, the lead bullets that whistled out from the muzzle of the cannon flew to the end of the range in the blink of an eye.

To the traitor's disappointment, the lead bullets did not achieve the slightest result except for hitting the ground and emitting a trace of green smoke.

Even the wooden planks covering the top of the traffic trench, even if they were hit by lead bullets, were not destroyed, and they were still tightly covered on the top of the traffic trench, covering the figures of the soldiers of the Haw Par Army in the trench.

After firing two rounds of scattered shells at the Tiger and Leopard Army in succession, still without the slightest success, the leader of the traitors had to continue to order: "Artillery, all use solid shells, and you must destroy the planks of the officers and soldiers covering the trenches..."

"Boom, boom, boom....", another series of deafening roars rang out over the city walls.

More than a dozen solid shells flew out of the barrel and flew towards the two hundred paces outside the city with a whistling sound.

However, because of the traitor gunner's unfamiliar shooting skills, none of the more than a dozen solid iron shells hit the target.

The whistling shells landed on the hard ground, and after two catapults, they finally landed on the one-foot-high retaining walls on either side of the trench, without causing the slightest damage to the trench that the Haw Par Army had worked so hard to build... (To be continued......)
