Chapter 57 The Eve of the Fierce Battle

Jin Yang met with Jin Ying and the generals to discuss countermeasures, Jin Yang looked at the horse bandit village in the distance, and suddenly said to Jin Ying: "Fu Shuai, I have an idea, I wonder if it will work?"

"Military division, if you have any ideas, just say it, and everyone will give advice together."

He pointed to the horse bandit stronghold in the distance and said: "Our army shouldn't all be here. It's enough to leave only the vanguard officer Xu Yanzhi and more than 1 people to block here. We, the Chinese army and Jinfeng's men Go and garrison there, and if the enemy forces attack here, we will shoot bed crossbows from the commanding heights of the horse bandit village. The two sides can cover each other and echo each other, one side is in a tight spot and the other side is helping..."

"Then the height of the front city gate and the left and right city walls must be increased. The amount of work is not small. Can more than 1 people be stationed on the stockade? Besides, draft is also a big problem?"

"I've seen it this morning. Now, the city gate and both sides are a bit lower. It would be fine if it was increased by three meters. There is a little water accumulated by rain in the dry ditch under the city gate, and the groundwater The waterline should be that deep. Just digging a big well inside the city gate can satisfy 1 people’s food and drink.”

"Come on, how about we go and see?"

After getting the approval of the generals, they went to the horse bandit village for on-the-spot investigation. Jin Yang looked down at the 800-meter-wide mountain pass and said, "Fu Shuai, we can block the entire mountain pass by putting up crossbows here. Dig another trench in front of us, and the bed crossbows we set up can shoot at the enemy troops who are crowded up on the other side of the trench, and put cavalry on the other side of the trench to kill the enemy troops who cross the trench. Shoot it with the bed crossbow, and you can pick up the used bed crossbow head and use it again..."

Jin Ying and all the generals objected, so Jin Yang explained to them the truth that soldiers should be fine but not too many.As long as thousands of people from our own side occupy the horse bandit village, and the mountain pass below is blocked with ditches and fenced logs, we can take care of each other and support each other.When the soldiers were digging trenches, Jin Yang discovered bauxite, which was something Liu Tao never forgot. She said that mixed with emery sand, it could be made into flowing sand paintings sandwiched between two glass sides.

Dig trenches on the wide flat ground, and put heavy soldiers with bed crossbows in the horse bandit village. The two sides can echo each other and cooperate with each other in combat.From this point of view, 1 soldiers and horses are not only not too small, but rather too many, because [-] soldiers in the horse bandit village are too many, and even [-] soldiers are everywhere.

It is not necessary to use so many people to fight against the enemy below. It is absolutely possible to allocate another 5000 people to support the First Prince and the others. There is not such a disparity in terms of military strength.Jin Yang wrote a letter to the First Prince about his plan, and if he agreed with it, he could also borrow his tactics.However, their mountain pass is five miles wide, so I don't know how they line up their troops.

Seeing that the 5000 people in the horse bandit village are still too many, Jin Yang suggested that 500 people be sent out as a mobile force, led by Zhang Haotian, the rear army, to hide in the mountains. When the time comes to see the development of the battle and then go into battle, it can also be the same as the refueling tactic. Adding pawns at any time will strengthen the defense on both fronts.

Now that the battle plan has been prepared, the next step is to enter the stage of preparations. Most of the people raised the gates and the walls on the left and right, some hoarded supplies on the mountain, and most of the bed crossbows, grain and grass were transported to the horse bandits. In the village, a large number of crossbow arrow shafts were cut from the surrounding mountains. At critical times, these crossbow arrow shafts did not have the iron spear head at the front, and they could kill the enemy with great power just by repairing the front end into a sharp shape.

Those thick tree trunks are the materials for rolling logs and rocks. Jin Yang saw that the city wall that needed to be raised was 200 meters wide, so he thought again. If the enemy attacked the city (horse bandit village), he must first think of attacking here first, because Even after doubling the height, it is only six or seven meters high.If the enemy troops swarm up and attack desperately, because it is too crowded, it is likely to become a stalemate.

After thinking for two days, he finally came up with a wonderful method.That is to lay the tree trunks overhead and flat behind the battlements, leaving a space one person high below to hide people. If the enemy climbed up the city wall, not only their own people could step on the wooden row-like tree trunks to attack the enemy, but also the soldiers with guns under the wooden row. It can stab out the iron spear secretly to give a sneak attack to the enemy who doesn't know where they are.As long as it stabs the enemy, let the soldiers on the raft beat the dog in the water.

The big battle is imminent, and the preparations for the battle are being stepped up here, and the enemy army is not idle, and a large number of scouts are back and forth for reconnaissance.

The big well was drilled with hammers and steel drills, and soon the spring came into view. The water was more vigorous as it was dug down. Dozens of people worked non-stop for three days, and the well water could be inexhaustible.

With the completion of enemy defense measures, a problem has emerged, that is, during the day, the bed crossbow can accurately attack the enemy by sight, but at night, how can you see the enemy army fighting with your own army on the ground? What to do in the past, if [-] enemy troops surged over like a tide, the [-] horsemen below would be unable to stop it, and it would only take a quarter of an hour to pass.If they attack the eldest prince back and forth after passing here, their soldiers will become a display.No, I have to think of a simple and clear solution as soon as possible. After thinking about it, I thought of the megaphone.

The microphone can transmit the sound, and the microphone in the distance can transmit the correct attack command to the city wall through relay, which is used to guide the bed crossbow on the city wall to strike blindly.Jin Yang marked the coordinates on the opposite side as the twelve attack areas A, B, C, and D. As long as the megaphone reports to attack the target, the bed crossbow can lock on that specific area to the maximum extent.The soldiers and the microphones that transmit the sound are hidden underground, and since they cannot be exposed, they will not attract enemy attacks.

The Golden Eagle sent Xu Yanzhi, a vanguard officer, and Liu Wentao, a former general, to guard the mountain pass. Zhang Haotian, his own central and rear general, guarded the bandit camp.On the eve of the fierce battle, various plans must be made.

As soon as these sound transmission devices were installed, the armies of Mo Li and Xiaoyan arrived.Marshal Gersang of the Moli Kingdom and Su Zhenlei, the Marshal of the Xiaoyan Kingdom, each came with 2 people in a murderous spirit, and they directly crossed the river and set up camp.Ordinarily, they came from a long distance, and they should set up their camps on the side of the small river, which is a bit of a taboo for military strategists, but they don't care about it, anyway, the small river behind can be waded across.They didn't have a good rest, and they lined up the next day, opened the way with heavy cavalry, and charged towards the middle of the trench.

Jin Yang spotted the two commanding flags in the middle of the heavy armored cavalry phalanx, and ordered the ten iron-tired crossbows not to be used. For such a murderous weapon, it must be taken out at a critical moment.These ordinary bed crossbows only need to assign a few to aim at the two handsome flags. Once they rush to one side of the trench and crowd together, they will immediately attack together with other bed crossbows.

Sure enough, their cavalry could not cross the ditch easily, because there was a log wall with a height of one person blocking the way on the other side of the ditch. Shuai Qi was also surrounded by soldiers and couldn't move flexibly in the middle, and the follow-up troops gathered more and more, crowding together like a colony of ants.

"Ready...to launch"
