The Tartars were able to quickly change their previous offensive strategy to the current method of digging trenches in front of the line, and their reaction speed was much faster than Chen Xin expected.

However, it is not too surprising, Chen Xin has long been clear that the various forces in the war are always extremely strong in their learning ability.

Even the post-Jin under the barbaric and backward slavery will consciously or unconsciously learn from the enemy.

After encountering the city held by the red-coated artillery of the Ming army, after suffering several losses, the Tartars were able to create the tactics of trench siege during the Battle of Dalinghe, then, in the same way, it should be reasonable to extend a little and make siege tactics of trench excavation.

The shield car formation on the Houjin side stopped about 100 to 120 meters away from the first rammed earth wall defense line in Lushun.

The coated minions behind the shield cart came and went like ants in an ant's nest, throwing all the pre-packed dirt bags onto the dirt wall they were ramming.

Even the fragments of the shield cart left over from the attack a few days ago have become the building materials for this shield cart and the rammed earth wall.

The distance chosen by Abatai is between 100 and 120 meters from the rammed earth wall, which is very suitable for the arching of bows and arrows in the hands of the Tartars, and the action of filling the earth in the stopped shield carts also makes the small-caliber smoothbore guns with the largest number of small caliber smoothbore guns in the Chinese army unable to effectively penetrate these shield carts.

Judging from this series of actions, it can also be known that the Tartar has indeed used his brains in this regard.

The soldiers of the Houjin Army fought hard to cause a possible famine in the coming year, lost a large number of clothed minions, and quickly built an incomplete rammed earth wall with human lives.

Although the wall was crooked and not very high, this improvised rammed earth wall was effective enough to cover the Tartar troops, especially the small-caliber smoothbore guns that posed the greatest threat to them.

Tens of thousands of coated minions dug trenches behind the shield cart, and all the excavated earth was piled up in the shield cart and behind the cart. The rammed earth walls were reinforced step by step.

Huaxia's artillery also gradually stopped firing, and both sides had no way to effectively hit each other for the time being, and after such a long period of fierce fighting, the battlefield suddenly entered a state of confrontation.

Chen Xin asked Chief of Staff Liu: "According to the plan, what is our next response?" ”

"The Tartars have been held back by the rammed earth walls that we and both of them have built, and according to our judgment, the Tartars will not be able to continue their attack in a short period of time.

Therefore, the subordinates planned to take advantage of the fact that they had not yet established a solid rammed earth wall, and quickly mobilized the mobile forces on both flanks, and made a roundabout posture to attack the enemy's flank.

In this case, our attacking troops will definitely be able to attract a large Tartar army to gather together, and when the time comes, our army will concentrate its artillery and launch an artillery attack at the same time, and it will definitely be able to kill and injure a large number of the elite forces of the Jurchen clan.

Especially on the side of Cockscomb Mountain, the Tartars' shield cart formation was too straight. This arrangement not only lacks frontal defense, but also provides low cover on the flanks, which is the most suitable direction for our army's attack. ”

Chen Xin agreed: "You have made a very good plan, and now, the rammed earth wall being built by the Tartars is still very messy, not only is the middle not connected, but the two wings are even more lacking cover.

In this case, once our army attacks, the Tartars must also put out a certain scale of men and horses, come out and fight with our army, this is indeed a good opportunity, I agreed, hurry up and implement the plan, but we must remember that the troops attacking must be mixed with infantry and cavalry, and strive to attract a certain number of enemy cavalry. ”

At the same time, in order to let the whole army know the order, and also to let the Houjin army clearly know that the Huaxia Army was coming, the drums and trumpets in the direction of the two wings sounded in unison.

The cavalry units, which served as reserves in the rear, also received orders for urgent sorties, among which the largest number of cavalry sorties were made in the sandwich road below the Cockscomb Mountain.

The cavalry moved from the rammed earth wall passage near the sea into the passage between the cockscomb mountain and the rammed earth wall, which was originally reserved for one of the positions for the defensive troops to attack.

Under the fire from both directions, if the soldiers of the Houjin Army could not capture Jiguan Mountain, there was no way to attack here, but as a counterattack assembly place for the defenders, it had a unique geographical advantage.

There is also such an area under the Golden Mountain, but because of the large number of mudflats near the beach, the sandwich road is a little smaller than that under the Cockscomb Mountain.

In this operation, in addition to the cavalry that had been put together as a reserve, there were also three companies of infantry, and they also made a sortie posture.

Because of the threat of the artillery units of the Huaxia Army on Jiguan Mountain, the shield vehicles of the Houjin side could not cover the frontal area, so the natural position of the two wings became their weakness.

They seemed to have intended to form an arc-shaped defensive line, but the blows on the western hill were so fierce that they suffered heavy losses in their shield carts, and at this time, it was only enough to fill the middle position, and the protection of the right flank was very empty.

After the Houjin side discovered that the Huaxia Army was assembling troops, the soldiers of the Houjin Army in the west, under the leadership of the officers, immediately went to the back of the rammed earth wall and assembled a force of more than 3,000 horses.

The non-commissioned officers on the tower, with the help of large telescopes, observed all the movements of the enemy troops, and reported to the brigade headquarters by magnet telephone, and at the same time transmitted a signal to the Chinese army under the mountain to prepare for battle, without delay.

A signal soldier next to Chief of Staff Liu held the microphone of the magnet phone in his hand, and repeated the contents of the phone word by word: "The Tartars have dispatched about a thousand or so cavalry, and they are advancing towards Area 5. ”

Chen Xin had already handed over the command to Staff Officer Liu, and he was not willing to regain command again without his subordinates making mistakes, and he definitely did not have the obsessive-compulsive habit of Chang Kaishen and Adolf to command the front-line troops.

When he was idle, he would naturally look for something to pass the time, so he chose to look at the flag, which he corroborated with what he heard on the phone and the flag sent to the troops at the foot of the mountain from the watchtower in the distance.

Qiyu seems to be very troublesome and cumbersome to say, but in fact, because the kingdom has long promulgated Hanyu Pinyin, and has continuously promoted literacy education throughout the country, and has produced a large number of people who know pinyin and Chinese characters, it is still very simple to promote Qiyu in the army.

It's just that the troops above the battalion level of the Chinese army have now begun to popularize magnet phones to deliver messages, so,
