Ten days later.

In the sky above Niangniang Dam, there was a sudden sonorous and rapid sound of gold.

"Collect the troops!"

The order was given, and the five hundred soldiers of the Force Regiment, covered in mud, ran back to the north shore in embarrassment.

This was the third offensive launched by Long Yuandong.

Although each attack was superficial, there were still injuries.

The situation is tricky.

"That's all for today, let the soldiers go into the village to rest!" Long Yuandong tightened the reins of his horse and turned around and walked towards the camp.

"This is going back?" He Dali said unsatisfactorily: "We have been here for so many days, and we have been digging trenches and walls desperately every day. It's hard to start fighting, but it's anticlimactic, the thunder is loud, the rain is small, what kind of fame is it?"

Dugu Wenwaist smiled: "Fatty, we are just a feint attack today, mainly to understand the characteristics of the terrain and find out the enemy's reality, only after we have a good idea of everything, can we launch a general attack." ”

"After a day of feints, do you have the bottom in your heart?" He asked vigorously.

Dugu Wenwaist smiled faintly, did not answer, and walked back to the camp located on the north bank of Niangniang Dam with Long Yuandong, Gong Luoluo, and He Dali, and climbed the temporary earthen wall.

In order to prevent the secret art of the march and the harassment of the Fengxiang army, the dragon army dug deep trenches around the earthen wall, and buried a number of earth tanks, and arranged for the soldiers to take turns to listen to the vigilance; within the wall, all the camp tents were half on the ground and half underground. The underground part, sunken deep to the side, was large enough to accommodate all the warriors in the tent.

Regardless of whether the enemy is attacking from the air or from the ground, it poses no threat to the Dragon Army.

This time, Long Yuandong was mentally prepared to fight a protracted war, and was not in a hurry to achieve a quick victory.

"This Niangniang Dam is a stone dam road connected by 27,860 large stone piers, and on the left and right sides, all of them are tidal flat swamps. The west side of the swamp stretches to the 100,000 mountains, and the east side connects the side river, which is more than 200 miles long from east to west, which is a few points longer than the reeds in the Xianghe, and the width of the north and south is only more than 20 miles. Niangniangba divides the swamp into two, just like a ribbon tied to a woman's thin waist, curved and graceful, and Yingying holds it, so it got this name. This swamp also has a name, the east side is called Juyin Pond, and the west side is called Liumilk Valley, just like a woman's lower body and upper body. "Dugu Wenjiao habitually introduces geographic information to everyone.

"Phew! It's shameless to get this place name!" Gong Luoluo sneered and said, "After we take this Niangniang Dam, we have to change the place name." ”

He Dali laughed and said: "I think it's very good, why do you want to change it? ”

Gong Luoluo said angrily: "If I say that I want to change it, I have to change it! The name of the place is shameless, which means that the villagers are shameless! The people in this place are not good things!"

Dugu Wen smiled and said, "Don't you know, the names of these two swamps, in addition to being taken from the woman's body, also have another layer of deep meaning. Legend has it that there is an evil hidden at the bottom of the pool, which is accustomed to devouring all things, and even if the water birds stand on it, they will sink to the bottom. As for the flowing milk ditch, the overflowing water will turn milky white during the spring flood season, like human milk. This milk is so weird that even goose feathers fall into it, and it won't float. Niangniang Dam can be said to be the natural enemy of our earth attribute soul master. ”

He slapped his leg vigorously and shouted, "I understand! That's why we must come to fight the Niangniang Dam in the dry season! At this time, the mud in the Juyin Pond and the flowing milk ditch has become a lump, so that it will not sink people again." ”

Gong Luoluo said angrily: "What a fuss! This swamp is rumored to be miraculous, but it is of no use to me, and I don't believe it can trap me." ”

Dugu Wenwaist smiled: "You can't do it if you go down, and it's easy to trap the fat man." ”

Long Yuandong put down the binoculars and pondered: "Judging from the situation of several feints today, the silt of the flowing milk ditch and the Juyin pool has not completely dried up, especially in the central area, which is completely unacceptable. The route of our attack must be concentrated within five meters on both sides of Niangniang Dam. However, Wen Renyu had already expected this, and on the left and right sides of Niangniang Dam, countless traps were set up along the way, and there were heavy guards at the end. It seems that if we want to win Niangniangba this time, we have to fight a big tough battle! I don't know how many people we will have to sacrifice in the end. ”

"I have sent people everywhere to collect the sacks, and no matter how many traps have been set up on both sides of the dam, when the time comes, we will only need to fill the sacks with sand and gravel, and each soldier will carry two sandbags on his back, and spread them all the way as he charges, and be sure that nothing will happen. Dugu Wenwaist reported.

Long Yuandong nodded, noncommittal.

Gong Luoluo proposed: "I can take a group of people to pass through the swamps on both sides, and when the general attack is over, quickly detour to the enemy's flank, and cooperate with the main frontal force to carry out a surprise attack." ”

"That's the way to do it. Be careful, though, and be prepared in advance. Long Yuandong advised: "This swamp eats people and doesn't spit out bones, in case you make a mistake, I can't explain it to Yun Tianjia!"

Gong Luoluo grinned and said, "I don't need you to explain, I'm not so easy to hang! I'll go to explore the road myself tonight." ”

Dugu Wen said: "We suffer losses because there are too few troops, and when we encounter special terrain, we are restricted everywhere." ”

"The terrain and environment of the world are ever-changing, and the enemies are also strange, and it is impossible for us to train a new class of troops for every terrain and every type of enemy. It is true that the enemy will change and I will change, but it must remain the same. Long Yuandong retorted: "Therefore, in an army, there is no need for too many troops, and daily training and subjects do not need to be too complicated. In the establishment of every branch of the armed forces, it is necessary to achieve one specialization and multiple abilities, and in the training of every subject, it is necessary to emphasize the bypassing of the class. In this way, we can adapt to change. This attack on Niangniang Dam does feel a little constrained, but I believe that as long as we are a little flexible, we will definitely find a way to break the enemy. ”

In the evening, it's time to eat.

He Dali finished eating the dry food distributed in three or two times, wiped his mouth, and said: "The food is really getting more and more unpalatable now, and the amount has decreased a lot. I haven't had enough food in days. ”

Dugu Wenjiao explained: "With the elongation of the battle line and the expansion of battle losses, the logistics of the army are becoming more and more difficult. But don't worry too much about food and drinking water, they will be delivered one after another, and we won't be able to eat enough and not die of hunger. After the battle of Niangniangba, we must consider opening a few more transportation routes, and we must recruit a large number of handymen. After the Battle of Bison Gou, many fellow villagers took the initiative to sign up for the army, but I refused. ”

Long Yuandong praised: "This is the best! Logistical matters, insist on persevering, endure and pass." The big war is imminent, the outcome is unknown, and we can't drag down our fellow countrymen. Besides, the handymen are not so easy to be a handyman, and ordinary people are not trained and their physical strength is simply unbearable. If possible, even if it is a logistics unit that does not participate in the war, we must try to ensure that they have a certain survivability on the battlefield. In the future, when recruiting logistics troops, it should still be based on soul masters, which is really impossible, and at least it must be young and strong with considerable awakening potential. But these things will not be discussed for now. ”

Dugu Wenwaist nodded, and said: "The prisoners we captured last time have selected some of them with low cultivation and randomly enriched them into the logistics baggage troops, and the other part could have been used to supplement the losses of the main force, but considering that the hearts of the people are not attached, they are still being guarded and mainly indoctrinated." ”

Long Yuandong still said the same thing: "Yes." Whether to kill or release, or reorganize, wait until this battle is over!"
