Chapter 161 Digging trenches

"Yuan Heng, it's more important to place you there." Zhang Yang saw that the others had left, and only Bian Yuanheng was still lingering and refusing to leave. He knew that the sharpshooter's brain had not turned around now.

"Brother, my people have a higher shooting level than them under my training. Why don't you let them participate in the battle?" Bian Yuanheng asked.

"It is because you are all good hands to wear Yang in a hundred steps that I arranged you there." Li Shanchang also came over and said.

? Bian Yuanheng is even more confused. I have high skills, but I am not reused?

"All we know is that there are 500 Tatar cavalry. They must have attacked from the land, but we can't neglect the defense on the water. In case we sniper the enemy in the north and east, and they land from the port, we will stab a knife on our back." Zhang Yang explained.

"Brother, I see!" Only then did Bian Yuanheng understand the eldest brother's intention. His own people, even on the shaking ship, can accurately hit the other party, so he arranged himself there to beware of unknown enemies, and his task was even more difficult.

"So, you have to deal with it flexibly. If the tar dares to attack from the water, kill him fiercely!" Zhang Yang said.

"Yes! Big brother!" Bian Yuanheng's eyes were shining with excitement. The eldest brother placed himself there, which was absolute trust in himself. He must complete the task satisfactorily. He strode outside and had to train his men again.

"Let's go out and have a look." Zhang Yang and Li Shanchang said.

Outside, all the soldiers are working hard.

It is all ordinary soil, which is very easy to dig. In a short time, small ditches have been formed. The excavated soil was piled up on the edge of the trench.

"Everyone speed up the progress. We must dig out this section today." Zhang Yang said.

The battle will start soon, and this trench will be a favorable bunker for the soldiers.

In this era, trenches are rarely used, because in the era of cold weapons, the most common form of field warfare is that the two sides rush over and fight. Like the underworld fights, this trench is of no use at all. For soldiers who use Tianque, the trench is a good bunker. The trench is waist-deep and the sky will The tower is placed on the dirt slope piled up on the edge of the trench, shooting in the most comfortable standing posture, and trying to put the opponent down before the enemy approaches. If the enemy approaches and fights back with bows and arrows, the trench can minimize the casualties of his side. If the opponent is close, he can also retreat along the trench, and the trench is left to the right side. The square cavalry will be an unforgettable jump for a lifetime. The riding skills are superb and may cross smoothly. If the riding skills are a little worse, I'm afraid they will be killed in this trench.

Today's main task is to dig trenches. If you still have time tomorrow, you can arrange a trip at a distance of 300 steps in front of the trenches.

In the north of the main attack direction, the trenches are dug the most, crisscrossed all the way to the camp,

Zhang Yang took Li Shanchang around to review it, and he was quite satisfied with the excavation of the trenches.

"Let's work harder, we have meat tonight." Zhang Yang said.

"Wow, there is meat to eat! You have to work hard." When the soldiers heard that they were going to give extra meals, they all worked harder.

This is also Zhang Yang's simplest and most effective means. In this era, people pay attention to the small amount of return. It is already a great satisfaction to be able to eat meat.

They spit in the palm of their hands and work hard.

Zhang Yang looked at the morning sun in the afternoon. I'm afraid that this was a rare peace before the war. Once the battle begins, how many of these people will still stand here?

Fighting is going to kill people. Although it has already become like steel, Zhang Yang still does not want this army he has just pulled up to have any damage. Every soldier is a precious asset.

When Zhang Yang turned to the east, he couldn't help but get angry.

The soldiers sat lazily on the ground, dug only one foot deep in the trench, and lay down, just flush with the ground. How to hide people and how to fight?

"Dingchen, is this the trench you dug?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Yes, brother, what's wrong?"

"How can you hide people when your trench is so shallow?"

"Brother, why should we hide? I'm going up and beat those tars hard." Tang He said.

Zhang Yang's face slowly sank down: "Dingchen, what did I tell you?"

Tang He also observed that the eldest brother was a little angry and quickly said, "Brother, we have this trench, which is not conducive to us to launch a charge. We have to solve the battle. Don't we have to rely on hand-to-hand combat in the end? I have dozens of spearmen, and Tianque can also use bayonets.

This reckless man only knows how to charge, charge, you charge, is he the opponent of the Tatar cavalry? It seems that Tang He, who has fought a war, still doesn't understand the essence of Tianque.

Zhang Yang had to explain patiently: "Dingchen, this era is about to change. The way of fighting you are used to is no longer suitable for us. Our Tianque is mainly to destroy opponents from a long distance. Once approached by the cavalry, how many people can survive? Can't you all become souls under the horses' hoofs? Remember, if you have no choice, you must not use a bayonet to fight with other people's usual cold weapons. How many chances can you win? There is no spear length, and there is no big knife thickness. Pick a few people and the bayonet will bend. This bayonet is used to save lives at the critical moment.

Tang He nodded. In fact, he wanted Tianque to cover him. He charged with a spear and behaved well in front of his eldest brother. Look at my Tang He, that's the real warrior. Now think about it, it is indeed the act of looking for death.

"Remember, as long as the other party is close to 500 steps, you will start shooting immediately. You have more than 100 sky shells under your command, let them shoot in a volley, so that you can exert the greatest power. After the other party is close to the range of 100 steps, it will throw a grenade. If the other party approaches again, he will immediately withdraw from the camp from the traffic trench. " Zhang Yang said.

"Yes, big brother." Tang He understood. I know what to do.

"If you can't do it, I will let Yuan Heng take your behalf. He really wants to defend here." Zhang Yang said.

"No, no, I can dig a trench with my soup. You can still do it. Brother, don't worry, I will dig it for you before dark." Tang He said that Bian Yuanheng could not be allowed to pick up this cheaply.

Li Shanchang followed Zhang Yang and kept silent.

On the way back, Zhang Yang asked, "Shan Chang, what's the matter?"

"Brother, I also want to take a handful of Tianque and kill the enemy with them." Li Shanchang said excitedly.

"Forget it, I'm on the battlefield. I don't want to take care of you." Zhang Yang said, "When the output of Tianque comes up, I will make a short fire for self-defense. At that time, I will give you a handful. Remember, your brain is more useful than your hands and feet."

Gradually, next to the camp, Shiyi and others also began to work, but they were not digging trenches, but burying something on the ground.

"Shi Yi, how's the burying going?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Brother, more than 50 pits have been dug, basically covering the north, and now they are digging in the east." Shi Yi replied.

Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction.

This is the last insurance. In case the Tatars come with a lot of people and chase here all the time, then what is waiting to entertain them will be ten grenades that have been buried in each pit, and the long fuse will be led to the bunker of the camp.

Zhang Yang looked at the clouds in the sky, and the mountain rain was about to come.
