The next day, the direction chosen by the Ming army for another shelling was Ninghaimen in the west.

Although the total weight of the six-pounder cannon did not exceed 1,100 catties, and the weight of the cannon body was less than 500 catties, it was necessary to cooperate in transporting five or six miles between the camps that had been dug up and wide in ravines.

The sappers had already preset the route of the artillery wagons, and the temporary bridge through the ravine had been erected, which was definitely able to bear a load of more than 2,000 catties.

Soon all the artillery pieces were in place for installation and commissioning, and at noon the twelve field guns roared again.

"That's not right!" The artillery observers who were observing at the lookout post found the clues, and the four furlong instructors immediately came to the lookout post to observe with clairvoyants.

After looking at it for a while, Flang Aranda affirmed: "There is no real artillery position there, the enemy is very cunning, they hide the artillery, those that are covered should not, at least most of them will not be." ”

Ehong said indifferently: "Actually, it is useless for the enemy to do this, we destroyed the artillery at the head of the city one by one in order to prevent the Ming army from being attacked by the enemy's artillery when they captured the city, is there a difference between them taking the initiative to transfer the artillery and being destroyed by us?" ”

"There is not much difference when attacking the city, but it is impossible to say later, who knows where the enemy will hide the cannons that have been transferred from the city?" It must have been a disaster when those cannons suddenly joined the battlefield. ”

Song Pengfei also noticed the abnormality at the first time, and he immediately came to listen to their opinions among several Franco instructors and artillery chiefs, and he had already personally observed the effects of the shelling again, and three or four false gun positions that had been beaten to their original shape were impressive.

Fulang Aranda asked: "Lord Song, the enemy troops at the head of the city can hardly be seen, and our artillery fire has hit nothing more than worthless wheat straw and wood, do you think it is necessary for our army's artillery bombardment to continue?" ”

The cost of artillery is actually very high, firing two six-pounder shells means that an ordinary battalion soldier's monthly salary is thrown out, if you only hit wood and bricks, you really can't do this, it's a terrible thing!

Song Pengfei thought for a moment and said firmly: "Fight, continue to fight, the Hongyi cannon arranged by Jiannu at the head of Jinzhou City generally weighs more than two thousand catties, and some are even close to four thousand catties, it is not so easy to move, it must still be in the city."

Otherwise, Jiannu didn't need to cover up, and let our army find that the city was empty, wouldn't it save the trouble of arranging fake artillery positions to confuse our army. ”

Fulang Aranda agreed: "General Song is right, we don't care if it's true or not, we will continue to shoot artillery to eliminate one artillery position after another, it really can't be fake." ”

The artillery of the Ming army persevered, and after another hour of fighting, they finally fired a Hongyi cannon, and the artillerymen let out thunderous cheers when they learned the news.

The twelve guns fought unhurriedly until the afternoon, and finally sifted through all the real and false gun emplacements, and found and destroyed three Hongyi cannons.

Although the results were achieved, Song Pengfei was still worried, because the Houjin army hid dozens of artillery, which was a potential danger, no matter how he wore armor, he couldn't prevent direct artillery fire, and he couldn't find out that the artillery of the Houjin army was always on his back.

When Qin Yanyi took three hundred and sixty female soldiers to the port of Wolf's Den Fort on the old lock boat, there were already three berths available here, because it has the conditions of a natural deep-water port, so the construction of berths is twice the result with half the effort, and the berths can fully meet the docking of thousands of tons of warships.

There is already a 100 artillery in the port waiting to receive artillery, the guard army in charge of transportation has found all the manpower to carry the artillery, and there are 14 more field guns on the Jinzhou front, and the ability to attack fortified positions is not a problem.

The port, the Wolf's Den Fort, and the less than 20-mile road connecting Jinzhou are all major projects that must be completed this year, and Huang Han requested that the road be built strong in order to be able to quickly transfer field artillery.

Qin Yanyi was the first to enjoy the feeling of walking on the road, with a team of more than 2,000 people formed by gun carriages, wheelbarrows, and horse-drawn carriages.

The road repair project is not yet over, it should be more than half of the repair, and it can currently ensure the one-way passage of the twelve-pounder field artillery carriage or the large horse-drawn carriage, and two twelve-pounder field artillery carriages can run side by side after completion.

Qin Yanyi rushed to the Jinzhou camp with his men and horses, and suddenly an earth-shattering explosion suddenly appeared, and some Han people who had just become servants with the army suddenly became chaotic, and dozens of people threw the wheelbarrow to transfer materials and began to run around.

Ma Yuefeng immediately said loudly: "The women's battalion is centered on General Qin and quickly formed a formation. ”

The women who have been training for more than half a year are no worse than ordinary battalion soldiers, and they immediately appeared in the position of ordinary training, the bird gun in their hands is flat, and the fire rope has been lit and burning slowly.

Only Qin Yanyi and Ma Yuefeng have war horses here, and only the two of them wear helmets and armor.

Because Huang Han knew the development trend of the army, the heavy and extremely uncomfortable armor to wear on the body would disappear from the stage of history with the popularization of firearms.

Therefore, the armor of the "Red Banner Army" is given priority to equipping cavalry and cold-weapon infantry, and when there is a surplus in armor, it will be equipped with excellent marksmen and officers of the hot-weapon troops.

The women's battalion had no plans to go to the battlefield at all, of course, they only had mandarin duck jackets and cotton armor that every regular soldier and guard army had, and no one wore all-steel cuirasses, steel helmets with visors, and winding soft armor as standard equipment of the "Red Banner Army".

Just when Qin Yanyi thought that he was about to engage in battle when he encountered the enemy, several people galloped over, and the leader was Wang Zhanpeng, the commander of the engineer battalion, who hugged his fists and said: "General Qin, this officer and his subordinates are in front of the high blast, worried that you will misunderstand and specially rushed to explain." ”

It turned out that there was a section of small hill when the laborers were digging the big river connecting the wolf's nest fort to Jinzhou, and if they relied on manpower to knock hard with a pickaxe, they might not be able to finish it in two months, in order to ensure that the project could be completed before the frost period came, Wang Zhanpeng led the sappers to shoot the cannon hole and blow it up.

Wang Zhanpeng and Qin Yanyi both hung the rank of general, Qin Yanyi knew that Wang Zhanpeng was one of her husband's henchmen and generals, and happily asked Wang Zhanpeng to take her to see how to blast the river.

Wang Zhanpeng issued an order to several grassroots officials of this contingent to give a good review of the records of the labor service that had just heard the explosion and were unmoved, and to remove all the dozens of laborers who ran around, and these people could only keep farming and working, and could not select them to join the army.

Qin Yanyi has been taught by Qin Liangyu since she was a child, and she has an instinctive understanding of the terrain, she personally looked at the Jinzhou defense system under construction, and she was already sighing in her heart for her husband's generosity.

Wang Zhanpeng introduced the defense here with great interest, and he told Qin Yanyi that on the mountain where the blasting was completed, near the river, a concrete and stone bunker would be built, and the name was Eagle's Nest Pier.
