Chapter 713: Trench
"Coach Carter, this is a really admirable tactic. The soldiers of King Yan are obviously frightened. Reading"
Wang Xie gently shook the paper fan in his hand and looked at the Sam country officer who arrived in Yangcheng five days ago.
The fall of Pengcheng was another heavy blow to the powerful families.
This made their soldiers look like waste in front of the soldiers of King Yan.
The soldiers kept fleeing on the way to Yangcheng.
Especially the private soldiers of the powerful families ran the most.
Along the way, the heads of the three powerful families were also taciturn.
They were pessimistic about whether they could hold on to the day when the East Earth Alliance was established.
But at this time, a merchant ship crossed the river.
Three Japanese and two Sam people arrived here.
One of the Sam people called himself Carter, and the other seemed to be his subordinate.
This time, he was responsible for serving as a military instructor and guiding them in battle.
After understanding the current situation of the war, Carter ordered them to dig trenches.
And introduced to them how to use trenches to delay the opponent's attack.
"This is a tactic that every officer must master in the West." Carter put away the telescope.
Because he was worried that the northern tribes of Dasong would be defeated too quickly.
Under the consultation between the shogunate and the consul of Sam, he was asked to take a merchant ship to Wu first, then go north, and then arrive in the north of Dasong.
Assist the tribe army of Dasong to resist the attack of King Yan.
After all, they still need time to discuss the specific matters of the East Earth Alliance.
After he finished speaking, the Japanese around him translated.
"Really? This is really enviable." Wang Xie chatted with Carter one sentence at a time.
From time to time, he looked at the telescope in his hand.
This thing that was like a clairvoyance shocked him very much.
But Carter only let him experience it once, and never let him touch it again.
In the city, in an exquisite and beautiful house.
Xie Duan and the other two no longer had the dejection after fleeing to Yangcheng.
They sat together with Sato Makoto to drink tea, talk and laugh, and were in high spirits.
"But this time, I have to wrong you, the Japanese." After taking a sip of tea, Han Zheng looked at Sato Masahisa.
According to the Japanese who came, during this period, the Sam people went to Lincheng, Wu State as an intermediary to discuss the East Earth Alliance with the Liang family.
The Sam people assured the Liang family that Britain would continue to trade with the Liang family and would not provoke a war with the Liang family because of the trade difference.
However, this requires the British to formally sign a contract with Wu.
As for Japan, Wu asked Japan for Beiyizhou to test its sincerity.
This condition has been sent back to the Japanese shogunate.
Whether the shogunate will agree will be known in the next half month.
If both Japan and Britain meet Wu's conditions, Wu will agree to join the East Earth Alliance.
At the same time, it will help the Xie family defend Jiujiang and prevent the King of Yan from continuing to go south.
Sato Masahisa smiled bitterly, and Japan would definitely agree to this condition.
Because the Japanese who arrived in Yangcheng told him something in private.
The army of the King of Yan captured Ryukyu.
With the fall of Ryukyu, Yizhou would naturally be unsafe.
It would be better to hand over the northern part of Yizhou to the State of Wu.
In this way, it would also cause conflicts between the State of Wu and the King of Yan.
After all, the King of Yan took over Ryukyu, and his next step would definitely be to take over the territory of Yizhou occupied by Japan.
However, he could not say this, but said: "It is worth paying a little price to stop this evil King of Yan."
"Great righteousness, really great righteousness." Han Zheng bowed his hands with admiration.
Wang Zian and Xie Duan also complimented.
Some time ago, they were still a little unconfident about the East Earth Alliance.
But since Carter taught them to dig trenches and arrange battlefields, their last doubts disappeared.
Because not only Japan, but also Westerners really intervened.
Next, they only need to wait for the signing of the contract.
Outside the city.
After observing for a while, Chang Wei put away the telescope.
Lu Chang stared at the wall for a while and cursed: "The monster on the wall, could it be the Westerner that Your Highness mentioned?"
"It must be, but how did they suddenly appear in Yangcheng?" Guan Tongdao.
Qin Shan narrowed his eyes, "Is there any need to say this? Mortar smashes toads, these bastards have gathered together."
Then he said: "If I catch him, I must pull out all his hair."
Chang Wei has been thinking about something and ignored the three people.
After a long time, he said: "Send someone to send this news to Yancheng immediately."
Then he looked at the trench in front of Yangcheng.
This kind of trench arrangement, the King of Yan once talked to them in detail in the military school.
Sometimes he really wondered how the King of Yan knew these strange tactics.
After all, all the way here, the powerful families didn't understand this kind of tactics at all.
This must have been made by the Westerner in Yangcheng.
So, how did the King of Yan know that there was such a tactic in the West?
He couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head, threw away these distracting thoughts, and began to face the battle in front of him.
The three trenches in Yangcheng were very deep, connected together, more than 100 meters wide, and full of soldiers.
Charging against such trenches would cost heavy casualties.
After all, the powerful soldiers hiding in the trenches could hide in the trenches after firing a shot, load bullets and continue firing.
The charging soldiers were fully exposed.
To deal with such trenches, they could only dig trenches opposite them.
Use trenches to restrain trenches.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered his soldiers to dig the same three trenches.
