Chapter 259 Trench
"Take two thousand reserve soldiers to form a new transport team. They are not allowed to participate in battle except for the original transport team."
After walking around the military camp, Zhu Cixuan learned a lot of numbers and immediately made an instruction.
"Your Highness, our original transport team has nearly 4,000 people. Isn't it enough?"
Ye Yun said with some confusion. He also knew that the main thing for such a thermal weapon army was to send ammunition on it.
Therefore, before the war started, we also attached great importance to the transportation team. After repeated expansion, the transportation team is about to catch up with a regiment, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to leave two thousand people. Is this a bit serious?
"According to the size of Wuchang City, they have about hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if only half of them are dispatched, it will be enough for us to work hard for a long time. When I was in Qufu, I saw the importance of the transportation team. We can definitely withstand the first half of the battle. The most important thing is the second half. At that time, everyone was exhausted. If there was something that could not keep up, it would cause the entire queue to retreat."
When His Royal Highness said this, the people below also thought of this. Although the thermal weapons army is powerful, it also has certain shortcomings.
The main disadvantage is that being broken through one point is likely to cause the entire queue to collapse. If this is the case, it would be really not worth it.
Two cold weapons armies fight against each other. Even if they are rushed in, the two sides can still fight in their own positions.
However, the thermal weapon army has very poor melee capabilities. Zhu Cixuan had already seen it during the last Qufu battle. Although he had done some training in melee capabilities, he tried not to do so.
We have muskets and cannons, which are all weapons to kill the enemy from a long distance. Why not block the enemy from the barracks?
Zhu Cixuan emphasized this issue at the beginning. Melee ability can be trained, but it must not be regarded as the mainstream. Our mainstream is to kill and injure the enemy outside the military camp.
"I will go down and arrange it immediately."
Ye Yun immediately went down to arrange this matter, scattering two thousand people in three military camps, and replacing some of the civilians.
When the fight is not started, these civilians can naturally undertake some transportation tasks, but after the war, many people have not received training, so they run around.
In the face of such a war, try not to let them go to the front line, otherwise any mistakes will happen at that time, and we are still unlucky.
The other troops also went back to prepare and kept the new recruits brought by His Highness the Crown Prince as a reserve team. Tomorrow will be a fierce battle and will never be an occasion for them to exercise.
Although the actual combat can be used to hone the recruits, we have to look at the actual situation. If the recruits make mistakes, the entire battle will be in vain.
After all, the victory yesterday was just a small victory, and both sides tried it out. The actual impact on the battle situation was not very big, but it only affected the morale of some soldiers.
That night, the soldiers on the Wuchang city wall also discovered something wrong with the Ming army below. Many people didn't sleep at night and dig trenches in front of the military camp.
However, the soldiers on the Wuchang city wall did not report, and they did not want to make any trouble for themselves. If there were any actions on them, they would definitely be the first to go out, so they would just pretend that they didn't see it.
If they reported that night and then sent an army to harass it, the Ming army would not have dug three trenches. Now these three trenches are thirty meters deep, even if the Qing army rushed over, they would be blocked by these trenches.
It is because these people are greedy for life and fear of death that they missed the best opportunity.
As long as someone makes mistakes on the battlefield, he will definitely pay a huge price. Take them as an example. They dare not go out to fight at night, so at dawn the next day, they will have to fill these trenches with the bodies of thousands of cavalrymen.
When the sun was fully raised, the drums of war on both sides were already pounding, and it was exactly the same as what the Prince of the Crown Prince expected. The Qing princes were not very patient and wanted to fight quickly.
"Crash the cannon."
When His Highness the Crown Prince stepped onto the podium, dozens of artillery fired together in an instant.
The war drums on both sides were somewhat competitive just now, and they both wanted to suppress the other party's voice. It could be said that they were comparable, but when this link came out, the people in Wuchang City were stunned.
They have cannons, but we don’t have one.
Although there are some dilapidated cannons next to them, no one dares to touch them. If these cannons are fired, we will have to spend dozens of lives here. Before the war begins, we will lose our manpower first. What an unlucky thing.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years, thousands of years."
Tens of thousands of soldiers knelt on one knee at the same time, facing the high platform where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was, and the momentum was shocking.
"rise…"
With the help of the iron loudspeaker, the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can also be heard.
The uniform movements of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers brought some shock to the Qing soldiers, especially when these soldiers shouted out, they all felt the mental outlook of these soldiers, which was really different from them, and then they thought of the failure the day before yesterday...
Haoge on the city wall spat disdainfully, believing that these Nanming people were good at acting and actually did not have much combat power. The officials below immediately flattered and thought that what Prince Su said was correct.
"Expel the Tartars and restore the Ming Dynasty."
Haoge didn't hear what the people below were saying, but tens of thousands of people started shouting slogans at the same time.
Haoge also wanted to overwhelm the other party in terms of momentum, but they didn't have the so-called loudspeaker here. Even if they shouted, they might be able to hear it, and the others could not hear it at all.
Seeing that the morale of the Ming army was getting higher and higher, I had no choice but to do anything, and I was so angry that Haoge walked around the city wall.
Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by the soldiers under the city wall again. Many people were also a little anxious. Our prince was so angry that he looked like this. It seemed that there was nothing he could do with the Ming army opposite.
Zhu Cixuan is also using a telescope to observe the army under Wuchang City.
His main enemies are the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry and Mongolian Cavalry.
