Sanduiji is a small market town seventy miles away from Qingzhou. It usually has a population of only a few hundred people. Then this year is a catastrophe year. Most of the people in the town have fled from famine, so there are almost no people. But that’s fine. Lest the people suffer from the disaster of swords and soldiers.
When the camp army arrived, they immediately deployed according to the schedule and started camping and establishing defensive positions. Among them, a team was specially sent to collect ships on both sides of the Qingshui River, and some big trees were cut down to make rafts. After all, the entire camp The army is still quite large.
Of course, the most important thing is to establish a defensive position, and to prepare for a big battle, the rhythm of fighting a bad battle! To put it bluntly, this will be a battle that will determine the strength of the enemy in the north of Ming Dynasty! It was even a big battle that decided the Ming Dynasty's fortune! So no matter how important it is, it cannot be overstated!
And for this battle, Yang Shan Luna is very important! To be honest, in the previous battle, I haven't had a good field battle with the Qing army, and as a traverser, a veteran of the Jagged Forum, Yang Shanlu knows many ways to deal with the Qing army's field battles, so now , Then you have to invite the dog tartare to have a taste, the wisdom of 300 years later is crystallization!
And this has to hurry up. After the army reaches Sanjiji, it is estimated that there will only be two or three days from the Qing army’s reaction to the arrival of the whole army. At this time, the time is relatively tight to establish a defensive position.
So on the day of arrival, he couldn't even take a sip of tea. Yang Shanlu, along with Lu Xiangsheng and the generals of the camp, began to survey the surrounding terrain and set up a defensive position.
Generally speaking, how to set up a defensive position has been described in detail in the history of mankind to the present, but Yang Shanlu has another innovation on this-that is, adding obstacles.
Generally speaking, when the army camped at this time, it was nothing more than setting up horses, wooden fences and other things around the camp. But now, Yang Shanlu plans to set up one more thing outside the camp—that is, a small earthen wall.
The small earth walls are in the shape of corners. It is necessary to set up thirty or forty roads, or two layers of front and rear obstacles, to surround the entire defensive position, and only need to be half a person high, while the distance between the earth walls is controlled at three to four feet In between, that is to say, leave a narrow passage.
And why do you want to do this, that is, the role of the earth wall, just like the sidewalk on the road, plays the role of gathering people.
In this way, after the start of the war, whether it is the horsemen of Tarzi or the pawns, as long as you want to charge, you must change from the original state of endless charge to the "dispatch" of our army. The channel rushed out, and this way, after our army has practiced the aiming position in advance, it is convenient for our army to concentrate fire and attack.
Of course, if there are Qing soldiers who don’t want to rush out and die, and plan to climb over these soil walls to attack, that’s fine, but when these Qing soldiers wear iron armor and then fall awkwardly from the soil walls, how much speed will they have to attack? It is also easy to become a target for shooting.
In addition, in our military positions, some small earthen walls can also be built, that is, to provide a shelter, so that it is very effective whether it is used as a cover for artillery or for protection of bird and gunners.
In addition, Yang Shanlu has also made improvements to the common trench digging. Generally speaking, the trenches are dug not far in front of the camp, but now, Yang Shanlu pushed this trench to the front. About seventy steps before, that is, very close to the exit formed by the earth wall.
In this way, the attacking Qing army will face two tests. The first test is to rush through the passage prepared for them and survive the concentrated fire attack. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, take the Come down, you will also face the test of crossing the trench. Think about it, a trench with a width and depth of close to ten feet, for a dog Tartar wearing iron armor, it must be very difficult to climb...
As long as the dog tartars stagnate in front of the trench and act as living targets, they will have more chances to die. For the defending Ming army, after the offensive Qing army has undergone this double test, How many people are left who can attack our army's positions
"Haha, you deserve to be my Da Ming’s Qi Shaobao! A good strategy!" After Yang Shanlu introduced this arrangement, Lu Xiangsheng and others were all pleasantly surprised, feeling that their horizons were wide open... It turns out that defensive positions can still be used like this, and As a result, I feel that the confidence in defeating the Qing army has greatly increased...
Even Lu Xiangsheng, who was familiar with military books, kept asking, he didn't remember which military books had written such a method? And Yang Shanlu laughed and said nothing... Can he say that this is the crystallization of wisdom researched on the forum for later generations
Even at this time, Yang Shanlu fully exposed his cruelty, and he also prepared a delicious meal for Taroko... it was called a plane ride!
After all, Yang Shanlu knows very well that for punishing these invaders, no matter how cruel they are, it is not an exaggeration!
As for what the earth plane is, it is fifty steps in front of the trench, which is the front of the attack of the Tartar, and buried a lot of *, so that this area will become a dead zone... and it can also allow the artillery battalion under its command to advance Calibrate (the shell acts as a detonation).
This way, when the dog Taroko charges collectively... With a bang, imagining the sharpness, Yang Shanlu smiles with satisfaction, the dog Tartar, the dog Tartar, even if you ride and shoot the world unparalleled, the bow and horse are sharp, but in My aisle add earth plane, under such a combined package, I will also make you unable to eat and walk around! See if barbarism can defeat technology, or technology can defeat barbarism!
Even Yang Shanlu is still a bit regretful. It is extremely difficult to make something like barbed wire in this era. Otherwise, if there is barbed wire, it will be even more advantageous for the defender...
Think about it, when the dog Tartar faced something like a two-meter-high barbed wire, he found that he kept cutting with a knife and couldn’t bite his teeth. In the end, he could only stick to the barbed wire and climb up like a fly. Climbing, and then being hit as a live target, that kind of aggrieved...
But even so, with the combined package, Yang Shanlu is confident that the offending dog Taroko will be hit hard! Let the arrogant Qing army shed their blood in front of the combined package!
So after making this decision, work started quickly, and even if these officers and soldiers do not usually do this kind of work, but now they want to save their lives, that is everyone's contribution...
First, the trenches were dug, and then the soil excavated by the trenches was just built on the spot to form an earthen wall to make the best use of it. It's like Yang Shanlu explained clearly that the earth wall is mostly high and can cover the firecrackers and archers shooting. Whether it is strong or not is related to their own lives, so no sergeant at work dares to be lazy.
Even now it is early winter. In addition, it is the Little Ice Age and the weather is cold. Many sergeants still go to the Qingshui River to transport water and pour it on the soil wall to turn it into a harder ice wall.
Even the soil walls that make up the passage are also poured with a lot of water, so that when the dog Tarzi wants to climb this ice wall, he can taste the taste of a yo-yo.
Time is running out, so all the sergeants are racing against time. Even in this case, the superintendent Lu Xiangsheng, after arranging the defense of the entire army, personally danced with an iron pickaxe to plow the soil, even if one of his hands were frozen and cracked, he still worked hard.
Lu Xiangsheng still used it this time, and the linen filial attire on his body appeared extremely conspicuous (his father had just died and he had to keep his filial piety for three years, but this time Chongzhen made a special order to activate it), so he saw the ministers digging the soil himself. This is even more encouraging to the military.
In this way, with the efforts of the whole army, it took a day and a half to build a strange-looking defensive position that had never appeared in the history of war. After it was completed, everything was ready, and only the east wind... just waited. The dog Tartar has come to try his power.
After the defensive positions are built, the next step is the distribution of troops. This time the marching army is deployed, which is an area about four miles long and one mile wide.
After some research, the most critical frontal position was defended by Yang Shanlu, the veteran Yang Guozhu defended the left wing, the Shanxi General Soldier Tiger Dawei defended the right wing, the Datong General Soldier Wang Pu, and Lu Xiangsheng’s Chinese army as mobile units, to Whenever you need it, go wherever you need it.
And this is also very obvious. Among them, Wang Pu’s military barracks are the weakest, and Lu Xiangsheng’s Chinese army is composed of the Tianxiong Army. Although it is very powerful, it has the fewest numbers, so they are all used as mobile forces and used for defensive positions. They are all the strongest forces. Otherwise, if you use the second-class defense, you will have to pay even more sacrifices when the battle situation is at a disadvantage.
As for the coach Lu Xiangsheng, he is in the Chinese army camp, which is the center of the entire defensive position, and there is also a tall telescope vehicle erected there, which is the role of the observation deck. The telescope vehicle is surrounded by wooden boards. Surrounded, you can withstand arrow attacks, so you can send sergeants to look out from the wagon, and you can have a panoramic view of the enemy within a dozen miles around.
Including this one not far from the pole car is the one used by Yang Shanlu, the same veteran Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei's two pole cars also stand not far away, thus forming a line of defense.
There is no doubt about the safety of the Wang rod car. It is nearly two hundred steps away from the tunnel in front of the earth wall. It is impossible to shoot any strong bow and hard crossbow of the Qing soldiers, unless they have artillery, but even if the Qing army has The artillery, shooting a chariot a few hundred steps away, is a matter of luck if you want to hit it.
In addition, the whole army also communicated with each other. Yang Shanlu has allocated some usable materials to the friendly forces on the left and right wings, like bows, arrows and spears. (Who is the rich man of the Xuanjia Army is famous?) .
In addition, Yang Shanlu also took a close look at the defense deployment of Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei. These two generals are basically a common style of play. In addition to more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers, most of their combat barracks use cold weapons. The remaining soldiers used firearms in a high proportion, and most of them were bird guns. Although I don’t know the quality of these bird guns, I believe that since they dare to use them, it should be good.
In addition, their second army also brought more than a dozen small tiger squat guns, which can also be opened this time, and they are supported by Yang Shanlu. Although they are not as powerful as the new guns carried by the Xuanjia Army, It is estimated that the dog can also drink a pot.
After reading this, Yang Shanlu had a bottom line in his heart, with the Xuanjia army to withstand the frontal attack, with the powerful friendly forces to withstand the attack on the two wings, plus there are a large number of reinforcements on standby to use as a battlefield fire fighting team, so for this battle, Yang Shanlu is full of confidence, maybe it's another great victory over the rocky mountains!
Even this kind of defense was good after Lu Xiangsheng came down and looked at it, and the veteran Yang Guozhu and others in charge of various positions are full of confidence... Haha, today I will use this hedgehog formation to shine Dazi fiercely. Blood!
But at this moment, suddenly a personal guard hurriedly came to report: "Report to the governor, a team of troops appeared in front of the position, and they are coming straight to our army!"
"What?" Lu Xiangsheng was shocked when he heard it, no, could it be that Gou Danzi came so quickly? You know that they are just getting ready, he has already come before he has time to do more inspections
As for whether reinforcements will come, Lu Xiangsheng never thought that the Guan Ning army had already left. As for the officers and soldiers of other local guards, they were all used for farming, and wanted to fight against Tarzi. It's just giving away heads. After all, a guard army like Yang Shanlu, the entire Ming Dynasty has no more than one!
Including the generals in the camp, it was very strange to hear a group of people coming. What kind of people is this? Are friends or enemies
