Chapter 666 Trench

Liaoyang City Defense is not as tall and sturdy as Fushun, but it has multiple city walls, which is related to the terrain of Liaoyang. The city defense is directly connected to the Liaodong Great Wall. The multiple city walls form a complex defense system, which is similar to the design of the Western contemporary battalions, and they all use the terrain.

Constituting cross-dense firepower in multiple directions.

It can be said that the design and construction of border forts in the Ming Dynasty were of the same destination as the West of the same era.

The so-called city defense is nothing more than a combination of high and low, with frontal combined with side firepower, forming multiple firepower strikes on the siege army.

To this day, the Ming army has accumulated rich experience in siege and has great experience in dealing with such a strong city with a night defense system. It uses heavy artillery to suppress it, siege it without attacking, and uses civil fortifications to dig trenches and build chest walls to protect it.

Aiming the artillery and approaching the bombardment, the Ming army has become increasingly mature in using this set of tactics.

This set of tactics was not something Ma Cheng thought of, but something with great background.

This set of tactics was explained by the professors in the military academy. The famous trench siege system was proposed by the founder of modern engineers, roughly the contemporary French marshals Sebastien and Vaubon. To put it simply, it is

Waving a hoe to dig trenches, the digging soil made a chest wall, and infantry hid in the trenches to cover the cannons to advance layer by layer, destroying city defense with sharp artillery fire. In the later Liberation War, the People's Liberation Army used a large amount of civil engineering operations to siege the Kuomintang army, which was the attack.

Improved version of the city tactics.

When the ancients fought, they did not only know how to wield swords and guns, but also how to fight them insidiously.

Under the command of Macheng, the two towns in Kaiyuan and Taiwan found the right direction from the beginning and took the right path, and invented the tactics of trench siege before the French. Macheng, the master of military science and the founder of modern army, has the status of Macheng as the master of military science and the founder of modern army.

It was confirmed that Marshal Vobon was still a two-year-old child at this time. This trench warfare method brought revolutionary changes to the tactics of the modern army and had a great impact on future generations.

On the front line, the auxiliary barracks with pickaxes were thrust into the digging speed very fast.

In addition to pickaxe, the auxiliary soldiers are also equipped with firearms. The firearms are mainly Taiwanese short guns and hand guns, with waist knives, cotton armor, and a small amount of mail. They can also be put into combat when the war situation is urgent. The auxiliary soldiers who fight with the army are becoming more and more modern.

The shadow of the engineer is something that will inevitably happen, and the engineers of the Ming army are definitely the best in the world. The trench system created by the French was simply tailor-made for the New Ming army. The engineers of the Ming army are far more than European engineers.

Elite, good at fighting.

In terms of riding, artillery skills may not be possible. In terms of digging trenches and swinging hoes, Ming people are not targeting anyone, the world's number one! Ming people waving hoes is a racial talent, and all kinds of complex terrain cannot help the elite Ming army.

Engineers, who beat the tunnel and poached the wall, Ming army engineers who were born as farmers, wielded their hoes to make the whole world tremble.

On the front line, teams of Ming army auxiliary soldiers sat cross-legged in the trenches, waiting for the meal to start.

Hula, two large baskets of white flour buns, a large bucket of broth, and a large pot of salted fish were carried up. The auxiliary soldiers rushed up and lined up. After receiving the food, they threw their cheeks and chewed them hard. For a moment, they ate everything on the front line.

The sound of drinking soup was creaking and creaking the sound of salted fish. As the Taiwanese navy entered the Sanjiang Plain, a large number of fish harvests were continuously transported to the front line as military supplies, greatly alleviating the pressure on the Ming army's logistics supply.

.

By raising war, and by fighting, the Ming people have gradually realized the essence of colonial war.

Zhang Shuizi sat cross-legged in the trench, patiently tearing the salted fish into pieces, and swallowed it slowly with the white flour bun. Compared with his slow eating, the auxiliary soldiers around him were very rude, with white flour.

The rice bread is eaten and the meat soup is filled. These Ming farmers who were born in the country were afraid of losing money. They swallowed the white flour bun with big fists in two bites, drank the soup with a slight amount of slight amount, and carried forward the Ming farmers' big belly. They were very capable.

The fine tradition of eating made Zhang Shuizi laugh.

Zhang Shuizi did not discriminate against these big-bellied men at all, but sympathized with them. Most of the auxiliary soldiers were victims of the internal disasters and refugees. He was in Japan when he was young and worked as a beggar. No one knew better about the taste of starvation than him. How terrible it is.

Hunger is the most difficult scar in the Celestial Kingdom.

Eating full, dress warmly, and having a warm bed with your wife and children are the greatest pursuits of the Ming farmers in their lives. Zhang Shuizi did not discriminate against these auxiliary soldiers from refugees, but instead empathized with them and took good care of these auxiliary soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers on this position

The soldiers also respect this ruthless military officer, who is not very ruthless.

"Brother Shui, Brother Shui, Mo!"

Two and a half-year-old boys ran over excitedly, sat down next to Zhang Shuizi, and handed over a white bun.

Zhang Shuizi felt warm and smiled with teeth: "I'm full!"

Two teenagers were sixteen or seventeen years old, and looked at him with half a steamed bun in the water and said suspiciously: "Brother Shui, can half a steamed bun resist hunger?"

Zhang Shuizi smiled again and didn't explain. The soldiers on the front line should not eat too much and should always remain semi-hungry in order to maintain their energy and spirit at their best. They will take a nap when they are full and will also react.

Being slow is an experience that Zhang Shuizi has realized in many years of his pirate career, and it is also his way of survival.

There are many sharp soldiers like Zhang Shuizi, scattered in front trenches, hillsides, and dense forests, providing sufficient protection for auxiliary soldiers.

Looking at the two young men who were eagerly watching, Zhang Shuizi said kindly: "Eat, eat, you have the energy to work after eating."

Two boys swallowed the steamed buns in a few bites and patted their stomachs, which made Zhang Shuizi feel a little funny. Both of them were half-aged and the most edible. Such a boy could really make a living in a well-off family.

If you eat raw, you will grow fast even if you can eat it. You will be a strong guy in less than a few years.

"Brother Shui, Brother Shui, are you still teaching sword skills today?"

The two teenagers became fussy when they were full. Zhang Shuizi didn't care and gave them a step. The two teenagers started practicing happily.

To practice swords, first practice footwork. The essence of the Japanese sword technique lies in the strange footwork.

Japanese sword technique was also very common in the Ming army in this era, especially in the Taiwan army, which was related to the background of the pirates in the Taiwan Town Army and had an indescribable and unknown relationship with Japanese samurai.

.This is not a shameful thing. When Qi Jiguang and General Qi improved the sword technique of the Japanese, he created a unique Japanese sword technique of the Qi family army, which was excellent in countering the Japanese.

Half an hour later, after eating and drinking, the auxiliary soldiers stood up one after another, spitted their saliva into their hands, rubbed their hands and swung their pickaxe up and down. Soon, a large amount of soil was pushed out from the front trenches of the Ming army, one by one.

The trench is quickly dug at a speed visible to the naked eye. When it comes to digging and farming, these farmers, big-bellied men, are all talented.

Back formation, commander camp.
