Chapter 705 Changling Mountain Speed
Everyone chanted in unison, wielding hoes and iron picks, digging trenches and digging hard. There were also people carrying dustpans and baskets, who were responsible for carrying the soil, and those who built the wall. They used plywood to throw soil on the board. Inside, use the pestle to tamp and smash it firmly, the sound of "Nang Nang" is endless, and the scene is full of enthusiasm.

Since they are all divided into subcontractors, they are not allowed to move freely among each other, and there are also various generals and team officers who supervise the work at any time and pay close attention to it. Even if these civilians are mixed with Tartar agents, Chen Zheng is not worried. He is not worried about Changling. The mountain defense line will be seen by the slaves.

After all, there are many ditches and low walls here, which can be seen from a long distance, but the mystery of them can only be explained clearly after personal experience.

Towards dusk, the layers of low walls and trenches were dug and repaired, and the men and women who had worked hard all day continued to enjoy the flatbread with broth.

Liu Jingzhu, the town governor of Dushibuying, led the town Fu sergeants, and issued wages to the peasants in units of teams. Chen Zheng had already had dinner, and was leading a few thousand generals to check the ditches, trenches, low wall.

The camp on the top of the mountain was built by the soldiers of the Buying. Now there are many piles of earth, stones, and logs, all of which were transported by the peasants and soldiers.

Chen Zheng inspected the area. Although he found some deficiencies, fortunately they were not serious, and the soldiers could repair them later. He stood on a low wall and looked at the surrounding ditch walls.

This is a place that is more terrifying than Julu's line of defense. If the Tatars really dare to attack the mountain, he has the confidence to hold on to this place, and will not break through the siege like last time in Julu.

Let this place become a meat grinder, let them shed the last drop of blood!

…………

Is this still Changling Mountain?
On the second day, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, and Zhang Ruoqi, the commander in chief, led a large group of officials and generals to Changling Mountain again. This was their first reaction.

In just one day, Zhang Cheng completely changed the beautiful Changling Mountain, which seems too terrifying.

Although there are many civilian husbands and soldiers, none of them are outsiders. How many of them have never served civilian husbands?When has it been this fast again?
Although this civilian husband and army is recruited, he doesn't need to pay any fees, just take care of his food, but there are too many foreign workers who don't work hard, and often the generals and the sergeants have to speak with leather whips. better.

What's more, the design of the defense line on this section of Changling Mountain is not as simple as digging trenches and building walls. The width and depth of each trench are different, and the height and thickness of the low walls are also said.

In addition, the large trees and weeds within a certain distance should be completely removed, so as not to affect the sight of the defenders and provide cover for the attacking place.

When Zhang Cheng smiled and told them that it was all about the power of broth and money, they were all dumbfounded again, and their hearts ached.

Human nature has been greedy since ancient times, and how many people are willing to give up their money without their lives being threatened?
If there are, they are just rare saints in all ages.

Zhang Cheng is not a saint, but he knows the truth that "the world is prosperous, it is all for profit; the world is crowded, it is all for profit." Compared with spending money to accomplish great things, he would rather spend money to accomplish great things than not spend money to achieve nothing. money.

A new term "Changling Mountain Speed" was born from this!
How did Changling Mountain become like this? This line of defense is too terrifying, right?
…………

What caught their eyes was a bald mountain. The trees and weeds in this section of the entire Changling Mountain had been completely cleared away, making the line of sight up and down the mountain extremely clear.

Everyone went up from the foot of the mountain. The mountain seemed to be gentler, and the road was easier to walk. At first, everyone didn't understand what was going on, and they all wondered in their hearts: "Isn't this more convenient for the thieves to ride?" Attack?"

According to everyone's opinion, the hillside should be made as rugged as possible, right?
Hong Chengchou also had doubts in his heart, and Zhang Cheng also saw this. He explained to everyone that even if there were some obstacles at the foot of the mountain, because they were far away from the shooting range of the firecrackers, the Tartars could easily dismantle them.

But the current layout, in his opinion, has two advantages. First, the terrain here is flat, and if no layout is made, it will be easier for the Tartars to gather troops and form a formation, so it will be lighter.

The second is that after measurement, this section of the hillside goes up a little bit, and it is just within the range of the few Hongyi cannons left by Chen Jiugao. Bombardment, if you are lucky enough to hit it with one shot, that would be great!

"...Oh...Oh...So...So...So..."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and then they felt a chill in their hearts, just like they did at the beginning, without thinking deeply, they naturally thought that the hillside was gentle and easy for their own troops to deploy, and they even really watched the battle here so that they could command at any time scheduling.

How could he have thought of Zhang Cheng's secret tricks? Although Zhang Cheng's design seems simple, it is very vicious. One thought of heaven and one thought of hell!

When everyone goes up all the way and is about to reach the mountainside, the hillside is not so easy to walk. There are deep trenches and traps everywhere. Under the trenches, there are also sharp wooden thorns, which makes people feel chilling. If they fall , Wouldn't it become a big meat skewer.

Moreover, these trench traps are also quite ingeniously concealed. There is a very low earth wall or a small mound in front of the ditch to cover it. If you look from behind, you can’t see anything clearly. However, once you jump over If so, the consequences...

What's more vicious is that these trench traps are still designed in a series of sets. After jumping over one, there will be another one, and some of them are seven or eight phases. exhausted.

Although these interlocking trenches of various sizes seem to be irregular, they are indeed the result of careful measurement. The distances between the trenches vary. No matter how you jump, there is always a trench that suits you!
At the same time, the layout of these trenches is slightly zigzag, making it impossible to go straight on the slopes everywhere. If the Tatars use shield vehicles to cover, it is really helpless. If you don't fill these trenches well, you won't be able to get to the front of the camp.

Of course, if the entire slope was dug into traps and ditches, it would be difficult for the Tartars to attack, and it would be difficult for our own soldiers to attack, which violated Zhang Cheng's established principle of defending the center and fighting.

Therefore, five flat passages were left on the southeast and northeast slopes of Changling Mountain, so that the troops under his command could take advantage of the situation to surprise the Tartars and then retreat quickly.

Each of these ten passages is about ten steps wide, from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside without any obstacles, and it is also convenient for the enemy to attack, but when they attack, they have to swarm into a group, so they can become gunners. Our shooting target.

The firecrackers of the Xuanbei Army are hell-level existences. Not only are their flintlocks sharper, but also the quality of the gunpowder. The key is the elite gunmen fed by countless gunpowder bullets.

This is the nightmare on the battlefield!
