Chapter 1013 Dig trenches
War is a treacherous way.
When fighting, he always greets the other party's weaknesses. It is normal to take advantage of your illness to take advantage of your life. Now Yuan Jun's war horses are frightened by the sound of cannons and are in chaos. If he doesn't seize the opportunity to get up and take advantage of it, will he still steal Gan Xingba if he doesn't pick it up?
After staring at the opponent's formation for a moment, Gao Shun shook his head and rejected Gan Ning's request, saying, "Although the enemy's formation is chaotic, it is only temporary. If we are close, we can still take advantage of it. However, the range of the red cannon is as high as three thousand meters and six miles away. When we run over with two legs, we will have a stable formation and ready to face the formation."
Gan Ning thought about it, and said regretfully: "What a pity."
Sure enough, Yuan Jun quickly appeased the horses and stabilized the formation, but wisely did not continue to move forward. Instead, he retreated half a mile and looked at this side and hesitated.
"They shouldn't attack until they find out what we are."
Gao Shun looked up at the sky and said, "It's autumn, the power of autumn tigers is still very vicious. We have to stay here for at least half a month, and we can't always squeeze together. We have to find ways to expand our living space."
"In this way, you send a team of people over and dig trenches if you don't do anything else. Dig as wide as you can, dig as deep as you can, and dig as deep as you can, and the longer you dig, the better."
Gan Ning slapped his head and snorted coldly in discontent, "If you ask me to go, I will go, then I, the dragon in the sea, isn't it shameful."
"Um?"
Gao Shun stared at him with a death gaze, and his facial paralysis expression was quite intimidating.
Gan Ning was cowardly on the spot, shrank his neck and smiled apologized: "The dragon in the sea is just a worm. I'll go now."
After saying that, he turned around and left, mobilized two thousand troops to the east of the camp, pointed to the open space in front and said, "Dig hard, dig as long as you can, stay away from the river, don't let the river water pour in. Your task today is to dig trenches, and you don't have to worry about anything else. If you didn't receive the order, even if Yuan Jun rushed into the camp, he wouldn't have to pay attention to it."
Two thousand soldiers had no choice but to pick up the engineer shovel and dig up the trench in a desperate manner.
There are many people and thick hands, so you don’t have to worry about working. Thousands of people work at the same time, and the efficiency is quite fast.
Besides, Yuan Jun rushed up not long after being shot back by several shots. This time he was dispersed and went around and directly surrounded Cao Jun’s camp.
Tens of thousands of cavalry came from afar, and they were too embarrassed to be bombarded by Cao's army. Moreover, the attack range of cannons was limited, so if they were dispersed, they would not be too much casualties.
What’s so annoying is that war horses are easily shocked by the sound of cannons, but this is impossible. The only way is to let them listen to it a few more times. If they listen too much, they will get used to it.
Seeing Yuan Jun rushing, Gao Shun showed a rare smile on his dull face and ordered: "All cannons have been opened to me. Today, there is no need to save shells. The musket team comes forward to prepare. Once the enemy approaches the range, there is no need to ask for instructions to attack directly, and the crossbow team is the same."
Open the bomb, you don’t know how expensive the food and rice are. Chen Xiaozi’s eyelids twitched a few times and couldn’t help but persuade: “Instructor Gao, we have a lot of shells, but we can’t withstand such squandering, right?” Gao Shun said: “I know that when the two armies first contact, they must give each other a ponytail, and at the same time buy time for digging trenches. When the trenches are covered with spider webs around the camp, their cavalry will be abandoned. Do you understand?”
Chen Jianzi thought about the scene where they were stuck on the spider web like flies, and gave a thumbs up and smiled: "Instructor Gao is wise, all the shells are ready, and the enemy immediately attacks when they step into range."
There was no suspense in the subsequent battle. Yuan Jun's horse could not stand the stimulation of the cannon sound and gave up one after another. As a result, Yuan Jun had to retreat sadly before he could reach the range of the Musket Team.
Yuan's army did not dare to attack, but Cao's army was not idle.
Gao Shun disliked Ganning's slow digging speed, so he transferred 8,000 more people to go over. He started digging at the same time on the three sides of the northwest and east, and the efficiency increased by more than twice in an instant.
Yuan Jun guessed their intention and rushed over to stop it immediately. As soon as he approached, the sound of cannons sounded again. He had no choice but to retreat, and he was so angry.
Cao's army was also shameless. When they saw them rushing, they immediately put away their shovels and fled back to their positions. When they retreated, they rushed out and continued. After several attacks failed, Yuan Jun had to give up and retreat five miles away to set up camp.
After a long time of peace, Gan Ning, who was very quiet and thoughtful, ran over and said, "Lao Gao, there is no wood in the camp. There is a small wood several miles away from the other side of the river. Otherwise, I will cut some back and not talk about anything else, it would be better to change to a longer shovel handle."
The shovel handle of the engineer shovel is only more than one foot or two feet long, so it is convenient to carry it, but it has to kneel down when working, which is too troublesome.
Gao Shun thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "Go again when it's dark. The river is only two meters wide, and the cavalry can easily flow through it. Then they intercept the attack halfway. Will I save you or not?"
Gan Ning looked at Yuan Jun who was busy building a camp in the distance and nodded.
Night soon fell. At around the hour of Hai, Gan Ning led a team of people to sneak out of the military camp, crossed the river and ran towards the woods in the distance.
They are navy, they can swim with sharks in the sea. How could they be blocked by a mere small river?
Moreover, I pay great attention to nutritional matching in terms of food, and night blindness has been cured for many years.
After crossing the river, I took advantage of the night to come to the woods, took out my saw blade and started working very quickly.
As the head coach of the Black Robe Army, Cao Ang may not be a qualified general, but a qualified nanny. He is a must-have tool for traveling at home.
To put it simply, if the Black Robe Army changes business, it can open a grocery store anytime and anywhere.
When a large army goes to war, it is necessary to set up camps and camps. If wood is indispensable, how can saw blades be missing?
Therefore, saw blades are a must-have for the Black Robe Army. Not to mention that they have one, each army has some.
Gan Ning sawed it in the woods like a bandit entering the village, taking it away, and throwing it away. After a busy night, there were several more piles of wood in the camp the next morning.
When the things are brought back, how to use them has become a problem again.
I chose some suitable ones to make shovel handles, and the remaining nails were made into fences, and one end was sharpened to the ground to defend the cavalry. At the same time, Gao Shun also built an arrow tower more than three meters high in the middle of the camp. He did not seek defense but only vision, but stood high and looked far away.
After finishing his work, Gan Ning yawned and said, "Old Gao, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go to have a nap."
He turned around and didn't wait to leave, and a sudden scream came from the arrow tower: "Instructor Gao, Admiral Gan, the main force of the high-ranking officials has arrived."
Gao Gan and his two men changed their expressions at the same time, and they quickly climbed up the arrow tower and looked at it with a telescope. They saw a large army rushing towards the northwest, with a large crowd of 100,000 people. At the front of the team, a high-character flag fluttered in the wind.
"What should be come or not."
