Chapter 198 Changfeng Ridge

Changfengling has now become an important defensive node of the Qing army. It is different from Huangshiji. It can be said that Changfengling is directly related to the back road of Anqing City. If Changfengling is taken, it means that Anqing has become a city. Completely lonely city.

If it really becomes an isolated city, the situation it will face will be even more severe, and it will be a huge blow to the hearts of the soldiers and the people in the city. Yue Zhongqi naturally understands this truth, and he directly sent his deputy general Wang Yonghe to lead three thousand elites Stationed in Changfengling, they can also serve as horns with Anqing City, sharing the pressure on defense.

Changfengling, which was originally just a barren mountain, has already stationed a total of 3000 people at this time. They have built a piece of simple houses and grass sheds on the mountain, and also dug trenches for artillery defense. The current attack method of the Han army is designed, and there are still many soldiers patrolling back and forth.

According to Yue Zhongqi's research on the tactics of the Fuhan army, we can find an obvious rule. Before the Fuhan army launches an offensive, it will use a large amount of artillery to cover the opponent's position, and then send out offensive troops, and the offensive troops are lined up. After forming the formation, they began to fire multiple rounds of volleys to the place, so as to weaken the opponent's strength and morale.

At this point, if the opponent has not collapsed, then the Fuhan army will use hand grenades and bayonets to fight the last wave of life and death. Under such three-axes, the current Qing army can't bear such a situation. No matter how high the morale of the troops is, it will easily lead to collapse.

Because of this, Yue Zhongqi discovered the practicality of trench tactics. When one's own artillery is not as good as the opponent's, one can use the trench fortifications to avoid artillery casualties, and then use the trench cover to shoot against the Fuhan army, that is, walk In Yue Zhongqi's view, it was unavoidable to fight the way of completely idle fighting, as for the last step of hand-to-hand combat, but as long as it could bring heavy casualties to the Fuhan army, then it was worth it.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. With the current strength and equipment, Yue Zhongqi racked her brains and came up with such a non-solution method, that is to build a stronghold, fight a dull battle, and fight for consumption. The Fuhan army fought the battle of life and death, but unintentionally created the tactics that later generations used to shave their heads in advance.

The big guys worked hard to dig the trenches, and the bean-sized sweat could shatter eight petals when they fell on the ground. From time to time, some people complained, and some even fell to the ground after digging, unable to stand up again. These soldiers usually have nothing to eat and wear. Sufficient, the ribs on the body can be clearly seen, and now some people can't bear to do such rough jobs suddenly.

The Shangguan said to allow the digging, but he didn't say why. This made many green battalion soldiers feel a little unhappy, so they secretly colluded and complained, and later even blatantly complained directly that they were not paid enough. , It is really not cost-effective to do such a terrible job.

In the end, even the guards of Chief Qian couldn't bear it anymore. In desperation, everyone had no choice but to nominate a guard from the green battalion, and went to Wang Yonghe for an explanation, hoping to reduce the burden on the brothers.

"My lord, the brothers on the mountain said that they have no strength to dig ditches, and they also said that they are here to fight, not to dig ditches."

A Green Battalion guard reported the situation in front of Lieutenant General Wang Yonghe, just looking at his eyebrows, he was afraid that he was 1 unhappy.Who is not here to fight?Nowadays, digging in the ground every day is boring for nothing.

Wang Yonghe was also a little puzzled, but fortunately, he implemented 100% of Shangguan's ideas, even if he didn't understand, he would follow suit. This is also the reason why he can be reused by Yue Zhongqi. Be stupid, you can be stupid, but you must not be disobedient.

"You people, I really want you to take up your shotguns and fight to the death with the Fuhan army at the foot of the mountain, do you dare? Those who dare can put down their hoes, pick up your shotguns, and rush down with me!" Wang Yonghe has a rough temper , I am unwilling to solve the problem in detail when I encounter a problem, I only want to solve the person who raised the problem.

Hearing Wang Yonghe's reply, the green battalion garrison was a little downcast. He knew that Wang Yonghe's temper had already risen at this time. Some cannot advance or retreat.

"Get out soon? Are you still waiting for my lord to dig it for you?" Wang Yonghe said angrily. He has never had a good temper towards this group of soldiers who don't have eyes. Ri San asked, if something goes wrong, General Wang will be the one to blame.

An embarrassing look appeared on the guard's face, he saluted immediately, and left the place quickly. At this time, Wang Yonghe was still imagining the day when he would receive meritorious service in the future, and his whole spirit improved a little.

Changfeng Ridge was working like this, and the Fuhan Army at the foot of the ridge did not rest. Qian Ying personally led the Sixth Defense Division, which had already detoured down the mountain from the side, with a total of 8000 troops, responsible for the offensive and defensive tasks of the entire Changfeng Ridge.

A large number of soldiers of the Fuhan Army formed a formation, but they were not in a hurry to attack the mountain. Instead, they untied the twelve cannons belonging to the division and roughly built their own artillery positions. From time to time, someone shouted, The tense and busy scene woke up the officers and soldiers of the Qing army who were still pretending to be asleep.

Looking at the rugged mountains, Qian Ying couldn't help but frown slightly. This was the first battle he had been in charge of independently since joining the Fuhan Army. At the beginning, many people were unconvinced. After all, he attacked Changfengling alone. If it was taken down, it would be a great achievement. Because of this, the Sixth Defense Division had to complete it beautifully. If there was any mistake, it would drown people with spittle.

In the previous attack on Huangshiji, the main division was directly sent to the main division. This was not only to ensure accuracy, but also to give the main division a sweetener. Today, Changfengling has become the second defensive division and the fifth defensive division. The object of competition with the Sixth Division.

In a sense, the [-]th Defense Division has the lowest qualifications, and the main composition of its force is mainly recruits, plus a part of the green battalion surrendered at the beginning, and the officer class is composed of Fuhan Army They were transferred from other divisions. Although they had undergone more than a month of training, it was difficult to quickly adapt to the battlefield after all. This was also what Qian Ying was worried about at the beginning.

But just when Qian Ying thought that the result this time was still to accompany the prince to study, Ning Yu unexpectedly made a direct decision, and made the Sixth Division, which is mainly recruited, the first choice for attacking Changfengling.

This made Qian Ying both nervous and excited, but she had never been afraid. The more people from the green camp, the more able to see all the loopholes in the opponent's body, and then stabbed the bayonet hard.
