Jiushuo divided the troops along the south bank of the Yangtze River, starting from Guanyin Mountain, along the Lime Mountain to the Lime Mountain area. The mountains were filled with flags, the torch for lighting and heating, and piles of bonfires burned out the outline of the mountain.

From a distance, it looks like the hills along the river are burning red!

Military tents were tied up one by one at a high place, and the generals from various departments came to the front line to command their soldiers!

Zeng Guoquan said it clearly and his subordinates understood it. People were really trying to intimidate the Chinese people this time.

However, the senior generals such as Bao Chao and the officers below knew the power of this operation, but ordinary soldiers didn’t know that they had not suffered like this for many years, and they all complained!

The key is that the river was raining in the first few days, and the ground was covered with mud. The soldiers struggled here and couldn't walk at all!

In the battle, the Hunan Army always emphasizes the establishment of hard villages and stupid wars! This is an old tradition left by Zeng Guofan. He has always set up camps, digging trenches, and repairing fortifications when fighting!

First put yourself invincible, then wait for time with the enemy and slowly endure the opponent!

Xiao Letian joked that the Hunan Army actually built bunkers to the enemy's doorstep when fighting. After the war, he looked back and saw that the map was full of bunkers.

This old tradition cannot be lost, and various fortifications must be built in the face of the Chinese strong ships and powerful guns!

This was a disaster. The soldiers struggled in the mud, digging trenches, shoveling soil and placing straw bags, stacking fortifications, and the field cannons retreated from behind and the inflatable rubber wheels were trapped in the mud, and the two horses couldn't pull them!

"Oh my mother...what is this to do? The handsome man has a good life, but he is full and he is ready to set up defenses along the river?"

"That's right! Who knows who to fight with me? I haven't heard of any bandits causing trouble..."

"Hey...you don't know... When I was enjoying the Qinhuai River opium restaurant the day before, several people in business said that the Chinese are growing in Jiangnan, and they probably are working with the Chinese..."

"Oh... Isn't this asking for death? The Chinese people are all heavenly soldiers and generals. Even the French-nosed Russian Shakesatana ghosts were beaten to look for teeth all over the ground..."

"We're so full?"

A few soldiers struggling in the mud pushed the rubber wheels of the sports car, muttering while grinding the grinder. After ten minutes, the 88 cannon did not push out of the mud, and they were just chatting and talking nonsense.

These people didn't notice that the Hunan Army's mighty general Bao Chao had already walked behind them on a horse. He was angry when he saw their scheming craftsman, and when he heard these people's disgusting words, he was so angry that he didn't even hit him.

Papa... I whip up and whip on the backs of several soldiers, "I told you to destroy the might of your own people... I asked you to smoke big smoke... I told you not to do anything..."

"When the commander conquered Changmao, he suffered a hundred times more hardship than today. Who dares to complain! He forgot his roots, and after eating for a few days, he didn't know what he was..."

This was a big blow, and several soldiers were pumped into the mud and water. When the officers around him saw that they were about to lose their lives, they quickly persuaded him, "God calm down... God calm down... Although these soldiers were unrestrained, they were also old soldiers who had made contributions. They also came out from the sea of ​​corpses and blood!"

"I'd better ask the general to give up his hands and punish him!"

Bao Chao then stopped angrily, "You know what's the matter! If we don't suppress the Chinese people's momentum today, we will have to lose all our jobs in the future!"

"Before dawn, the artillery fortifications must be repaired, and the positions along the river must be built. If you dare to delay the military plane! Don't blame me for asking the command arrow from the commander and chopping your head!"

After a lot of trouble, these soldiers no longer dared to be lazy. They retreated their cannons with all their strength and stuffed wet mud into the straw bags. Squarely a bunch of soldiers carrying mud bags were piled up shooting bunkers along the river.

"Bah... It's a big deal to show off your power! I really think it's the year when Marshal Zeng is here? You are so popular that you drink spicy food, and you can't enjoy all the gold and silver. I have married more than ten little wives..."

"Now we can't even take a big breath of smoke. Why are you missing the Qinhuai River?"

"You are still fighting with the Chinese people... Bah... you cheat! You and the Chinese businessmen are wearing pairs of pants, how dare you talk about us?"

The soldiers dared not speak, but they kept complaining in their stomachs, and the resentment became stronger and stronger.

Of course, Zeng Guoquan could not hear the complaints of front-line soldiers, and generals such as Bao Chao would not tell him such bad news. At this moment, Liu Jintang, as a guest, stood with Zeng Guoquan on Lion Mountain, looking at the fire dragons flashing all over the mountain.

Zeng Guoquan hasn't performed like this for a long time. Seeing the huge army building fortifications, I couldn't help but feel excited.

"Jintang! I remember when our army surrounded Tianjing, I had watched the battle many times in Lion Mountain. If I hadn't used explosives to collapse the Tianjing wall, how could there have been a battle to make a decision?"

"The commander is mighty, and my subordinates never dare to forget it!"

"Haha... It's good that you haven't forgotten your roots. I also know that it's not easy for you to be in the Western Regions. Now that Zuo Jigao is sick, you don't know where to go!"

"If you have any things in the future, come to me. If you can do it, you will definitely do it for you! Shortage of population? It is easy to deal with it. When the situation in the capital stabilizes, you can ask you for one or two million refugees. You can go to the Western Regions... It is also accumulating virtue and goodness!"

This is clearly a win-win situation. Liu Jintang must have an attitude at this time and bow and bow and say, "Thank you for your kindness! The Marshal is my parents' home! We have suffered grievances when we go out, so we have to come to my parents' home for help!"

"Hahaha...this is the reason! That's right, it's always a family member!"

The situation of the civil war broke out in the Qing Dynasty was unknown. At this moment, all fools knew that they should take advantage of the chaos to attract power, so Jiushang naturally could not avoid the vulgarity!

When Liu Jintang had an attitude, Zeng Guoquan naturally became even more eager. He pulled Liu Jintang's finger to point out the defense line along the river.

"From Guanyin Mountain to Shizi Mountain, I have been hoarding heavy troops and building many forts... I bought 18 120 shore artillery pieces from Germany, and they have all been installed in place..."

"I also ordered the Sanmen 210, but unfortunately I was still on the way and didn't ship it. If this was installed, Jiangning City would be as solid as a god!"

"But it doesn't matter. Today I mobilized all 50 88 field artillery in Jiangning to set up defenses along the river... With this firepower, no matter how powerful his Chinese warship is, he has to hide!"

"The Yangtze River waterway is narrow, and they cannot avoid it flexibly... Are you still allowed to bombard us?"

Liu Jintang was scared and wiped her sweat, whispered, "This... you still want to fight me?"

Jiushuai laughed, "What to beat? Just scare and scare. It's just to let Xiang Yinglin Zhen and the others know how powerful we are, so I will restrain myself in the future..."

"Hmph! Even if the Chinese people in Jiangnan want to swallow it, they will have to be my hands. This territory will always belong to us!"

Liu Jintang finally had a clear idea in his heart. It turned out that Jiushuai still wanted a warlord who was separating the country. He did not dare to establish a country, but no one was convinced.

He was not convinced by the Qing Dynasty, nor did the Chinese people agree. All he wanted was that everyone wanted him, and no one could avoid him!

Liu Jintang sighed in his heart, "The Nine Coaches have never been as good as the Jiang Dashen. Now that he is old, he is even less ambitious and has a hurry. He had the idea of ​​competing for the Central Plains back then..."

"Why haven't you seen each other for so many years, Jiushang is left with only one ambition to separatist warlords? It's really time to grow old!"

After a busy night, these Hunan Army veterans finally built some decent fortifications along the river, which was actually just a line near the riverside.

Wherever the Chinese warships can reach, there are flags and fortifications, and artillery positions are like targets to show their power towards the Yangtze River.

The shore firecrackers on the hill also removed their camouflage, and the black holes pointed at the Yangtze River!
