In the early morning of August 5, 1781, Ouyang Yu stood at the highest point in Petersburg, the bell tower of the church, holding a monocular to observe the situation of the Continental Army, when the sun just rose, she received a report from the scouts, saying that the Continental Army outside the city had an abnormal situation, so Ouyang Yu hurriedly got up and came to the bell tower of the church to observe the enemy.

In her binoculars, the soldiers of the Continental Army were digging with shovels and earth skids, thousands of soldiers of the Continental Army were mobilized, and seven zigzag and one-man deep earth ditches were slowly advancing towards the position of the 131st Regiment.

"When did the tall white man become such a clever earth rat and know how to use the earthworks to break my defenses?"

Ouyang Yu couldn't figure out how to think about it, the Continental Army would undergo such a big change overnight, the civil fortifications could greatly shorten the distance of the Continental Army's attack, and the three artificial moats outside the 131st Regiment position could also use the civil fortifications to drain the drinking water inside, so that the artificial moat would not only not threaten, but would become the best advance base of the Continental Army, and the advantage of Ouyang Yu's range would be gone.

"Ordered the artillery to carry out a ten-minute shelling. ”

Ouyang Yu's order was quickly transmitted to the artillery unit, and the twelve six-pounder field guns opened fire one after another, and one by one the iron lumps fell to the vicinity of the ditch that the Continental Army was digging, raising a large area of dirt, but the soldiers of the Continental Army hiding inside were not harmed.

Ten minutes of shelling passed quickly, when the shelling stopped after the excavation work of the Continental Army began again, Ouyang Yujun's shelling just now had no effect, for the results of the shelling Ouyang Yu had long been aware that the smoothbore guns of this period fired solid bullets that would not explode, and the flowering shells were not only unsafe but also pitiful, so the artillery of the 131st Regiment was not equipped, and the civil fortifications of the Continental Army were helpless even if they were direct-fire guns more than a hundred years later, unless a large number of mortars or mortars with curved trajectories were used, it was possible to cause damage to the soldiers of the Continental Army hiding in a deep trench, and she just wanted to test the shelling just now, to see if it could scare the enemy away, but judging by the results, nothing was achieved except a huge amount of gunpowder and shells were wasted.

It is easy to deal with the civil fortifications of the Continental Army, in a short moment, Ouyang Yu came up with a countermeasure plan in his brain, and now he only needs to wait for the Continental Army to dig the earth trench in front of his position, and then it is the moment for her to launch a counterattack.

After the shelling stopped, the morale of the soldiers of the Continental Army began to rise, they thought that this was the last howl of the evil and rotten royal lackeys, and the wise and powerful General Washington came up with a plan that would definitely destroy the British army in Petersburg, and the morale of the soldiers of the Continental Army, which had been greatly improved, felt that their strength was a little stronger, and they dug the earth quickly, and it took only one day for the seven earthen ditches to dig near the first artificial moat, because it was getting late, Washington ordered the troops to strengthen their vigilance, waiting for the first artificial moat to be dug the next day。

After a night of intense excavation, the soldiers of the Continental Army finally dug through the first artificial moat and successfully drained the river inside.

"Praise God, we succeeded!"

Thousands of soldiers of the Continental Army, who had been busy for two days, cheered loudly, and Washington also looked at the soldiers in the distance with a smile on his lips, and he thanked the green-haired girl beside him: "Thanks to your strategy, Miss, I believe it won't be long before we can win." ”

The green-haired girl did not answer Washington, but showed an unfathomable smile, still proud like a queen.

After digging the first moat, the morale of the soldiers of the Continental Army rose again, more than 10,000 people were divided into two shifts to dig quickly in batches, and the second moat was dug through the next day, at this time the Continental Army advanced the front line to Ouyang Yu's place of 100 meters, and the only obstacle in front of the Continental Army was the last moat, but Ouyang Yu's army still did not have any movement, Washington had already issued an order to prepare for a general attack, once the moat was dug on the third day and the water was drained, it launched the most fierce attack on the British army in Petersburg, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Continental Army were ready to do a big job, it's better to arrest the princess, a relative of the emperor, and humiliate her before she can relieve her anger.

At ten o'clock in the morning of August 7, 1781, amid the cheers of the soldiers of the Continental Army, the third moat was also dug up, and the muddy water in the moat flowed rapidly along the earthen ditch to other places, and Washington said triumphantly to his adjutant: "Order the troops to enter the ......." ”

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

Before Washington's words were finished, the 131st Regiment, which had not moved for two whole days, suddenly launched an artillery bombardment, and in the rumbling sound of artillery, more than a thousand soldiers of the 131st Regiment jumped out of the trenches, holding half-meter-long machetes and grenades in their hands, and ran towards the earthen ditch dug by the Continental Army.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

The soldiers of the 131st Regiment who approached the ditch, each first threw two grenades into the ditch, the more primitive grenades were in the semi-enclosed space of the ditch, the flying shrapnel and shock wave caused great damage to the soldiers of the Continental Army inside, and before the surviving soldiers of the Continental Army who were dizzy by the bomb reacted, the soldiers of the 131st Regiment jumped into the ditch and greeted the soldiers of the Continental Army with machetes, only half a meter long machete, which was specially prepared by Ouyang Yu for close combat in the past two days, the rifles and bayonets in the hands of the soldiers of the Continental Army were difficult to use in the narrow ditch, and they could only stab and not chop, suffered a lot when fighting with the soldiers of the 131st regiment.

The soldiers of the 131st Regiment who took turns with machetes killed the soldiers of the Continental Army crying and shouting for their mothers, and the timid ones dropped the useless rifles in their hands and turned around and ran, and some even climbed out of the ditch, but these soldiers of the Continental Army who climbed out of the ditch were immediately beaten into a hornet's nest by the second wave that followed, the soldiers of the 131st Regiment armed with Mini rifles were beaten into a hornet's nest, and the soldiers of the second batch of 131 regiments were responsible for suppressing the reinforcements of the Continental Army and clearing the soldiers of the Continental Army outside the ditch under the order of Ouyang Yu。

When the sun went down, Ouyang Yu's 131st Regiment eliminated and captured more than 3,000 soldiers of the Continental Army at the cost of more than 400 casualties. (To be continued.) )
