The tunnels were dug in the fortress and it was so exciting that the Black Hawk Army was not idle either.

They are digging trenches, too.

Since yesterday's war, Li Cong finally admitted that he could not become Nogi Xidian. It was not that the old man who captured the Lushun Fortress at a cost of 60% of the casualties was better than him in tactical tactics.

Those guys were not afraid of death, but his 36th Infantry Regiment could not afford to consume any of them. The remaining less than 600 infantry soldiers were already filled with fear. Li Cong knew that even if he wanted to fight, he might not have the aura of yesterday.

But if Li Cong just surrounds and does not attack like this, he will not be able to swallow this breath no matter what. Mashou Castle is called a Jedi, but just looking at the huge ammunition consumption of Mashou Castle in the past few days, it seems that the bullets and shells that will never be exhausted, even if Li Cong is stupid, he may know that he has been fooled by the kingdom.

The commanders of the kingdom had long thought that because the place was backed by foreign territories, the empire did not dare to use heavy artillery and bombs, so they would rather not have the entire Zhuangshan area than guard it. Moreover, in order to guard it, they might have left an arsenal and a food warehouse here.

MMB, since Li Cong figured out this crux, he has been looking at the rice ball that was already smelly in his hands, and cursing the cunning kingdom commander in his heart. Everyone thought how brave this so-called kingdom alone was, but who can know that Li Cong and all the imperial warriors of the 36th Infantry Regiment are the real hardships!

Not only was the death and injury that could not capture the opposite fortress, but there was no food to eat. Even the rice dumplings sent to him, the corps leader, were rotten. What could ordinary soldiers eat? But the worst thing was that the military rations could not be supplied in the short term, but that the kingdom was too bad. They fired cold guns and cannons from time to time in the evening, and even if they couldn't kill anyone, they would turn on the lights. The searchlights were almost scarce now, but all the inventory of the division engineer corps had been emptied! I heard that if the division commander had not been to go to other divisions with shameless face to borrow, the position would have been pitch black last night.

If there were no lights, think about the two nights when the Kingdom people came to attack, not only did the entire team of soldiers lose their lives, but the mines were buried at their feet. They still wanted to sleep that night? But even if there were a few searchlights on, the big guys who were harassed by the Kingdom people's cold guns and cannons every night, their eyes were red!

There is no food to eat, no sleep, and no fight, and no victory. It is even more miserable than the landing battle known as hell. Who would have known that the Black Hawk Empire Army Colonel was in pain! Li Cong, who had been staring at the quiet Mashou Castle in the distance with a telescope, felt sad. If he hadn't watched the reinforcements secretly digging into Mashou Castle in a relatively smooth manner under the guidance of the engineers, he would have really wanted to give up.

Yes, at 9 a.m., the reinforcements sent by the division headquarters arrived. The division commander was really enough to give him face and sent him a full army soldier. Moreover, he was the commander, and the infantry corps obeyed him. The troops in his hands expanded to three thousand again.

But this time, he learned to be cautious.

So, after spending a night learning from his mistakes, he decided not to attack and dig the trenches with all his might.

That's right, it's civil engineering, where you keep digging the trenches under the nose of Mashou Castle and then attacking again, so that you don't have to start giving heads to the kingdom people on the way to charge.

Don’t say, if you only talk about civil engineering homework, let alone the entire Dongzhou, even if you look around the world, there are not many countries who can do better than these Black Hawk Empires. Whether it is the Songshan Fortress in Yunzhou in the future or the Feng Dong brigade, who was besieged by a division of the Duchy Army for only half a day and a night to build civil fortifications, they have used extremely excellent civil fortifications to show the world their abilities in this regard.

The Black Hawk Empire's talent for digging holes is excellent.

At least, until now, under the cover of infantry artillery and cannon artillery, the field trenches have been dug 80 meters away from Mashou Castle. The kingdom defenders in Mashou Castle seemed to have not been striking with mortars. Of course, it is also possible that they could do nothing even if they discovered it. Who can guarantee that the mortar shells can be accurately sent into trenches that are only 1.5 meters wide? No matter how many shell reserves of the kingdom people have, they dare not waste them easily, right? As for machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, they are even more casual. If they can hit the soldiers in the trenches, they will be considered ruthless.

Li Cong's face, which had been gloomy, finally showed a hint of relief. If he continued to do so, as soon as it was evening, the Imperial Warriors could dig up to a location fifty meters away from Mashou Castle.

"Hisser Li Cong, the warriors digging trenches are quite a bit of noise, but why did the kingdoms not react? Have you ever seen the Imperial Army have become powerful and have scared away?" A general with the Black Hawk Army Colonel's seal was in a good mood, so he asked with the pretty skillful Black Hawk Speech.

Li Cong glanced at this guy with some displeasure. He asked this question, why don’t you say that you were scared away when you heard that you came? His face suddenly became gloomy, and he snorted coldly but did not answer the question of his colleague.

Logically speaking, the rank of the infantry corps leader who spoke was similar to that of Li Cong's army colonel, and his strength was greater than that of Li Cong. Even if the division headquarters ordered him to obey Li Cong's command, Li Cong could give him a look like this, and he could have retorted the same face.

Why, your rank of colonel is awesome, my rank of colonel is embroidered by me as a bastard?

But this guy put his hot face on his cold butt. Although there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, there was no dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, his waist was bent even more and his head was lowered. "I just came to this battlefield for the first time. I don't know the situation on the battlefield. Please give me more guidance."

That look of humbleness. Even Wang Han, who was standing on the other side, never reduced his identity to this level in front of Li Cong. He was not like an army colonel. He said he was a major and he looked down upon him.

It is estimated that this guy may have been raised by his stepmother.

But I have to say that when this low posture came out, Li Cong's face, who had just pulled his face suddenly, calmed down, put down his telescope and shook his head, "The kingdom people won't run away. It's not because I sent a large number of troops to block the Pingshanzhou River leading to the territory yesterday, but......"

"But they are also warriors." Seeing a trace of confusion flashing in the eyes of this colleague in front of him, Li Cong had to continue to explain: "Yes, although I really want to hang them one by one, I have to admit that they are real warriors. Before yesterday evening, they actually had the opportunity to retreat to foreign territory, but they did not. So far, they have repelled at least thirty attacks on our side and killed hundreds of imperial troops."

"If this battle is not a national war, the winner must be decided, I really hope to make friends with them!" Li Cong put a high hat on the Mashoubao defender in front of his colleague with a calm expression.

There is no way. It is not that the imperial army is not working hard, but that the enemy is too strong. If the defenders of Mashou Castle are praised at all, Li Cong could not explain to others why he, an infantry corps, had been besieging a small Mashou Castle for five or six days, but had only made a few big holes in the wall.

As for the hundreds of killing the Imperial Army, anyway, the colleague in front of him was not the commander of the division, and he was not qualified to review the casualties of the 36th Infantry Regiment, and he didn't know that the casualties report was reduced several times. This kind of nonsense was not too much psychological burden for Li Cong.

"Yes! I understand, the enemy is extremely powerful." The colonel of the Black Hawk Army nodded. "But such a powerful enemy should not just watch us dig into the trenches or even the tunnels without any movement! I think..."

"That's right, the kingdom people shouldn't be so calm!" Li Cong nodded.

In fact, there was nothing else on the battlefield except for the explosion of infantry cannons and cannons. The kingdoms didn't even shoot cold guns, which was unscientific.

He picked up the telescope and stared at the distance for a while. Li Cong suddenly opened his eyes, "Wang Han, look at the sandbags built by the kingdom people on the windows! Is there anything unusual?"

Hearing Li Cong's shout, the two Black Hawk generals hurriedly picked up the telescope hanging around their necks and stared at them with wide eyes.

"Yes." Wang Han asserted just after a few glances.

"What's wrong?"

"The kingdom people sealed several windows, including the front door of the building, and used enough sandbags. They obviously were not going to come out again." Wang Han said with certainty.

He has a strong memory. Yesterday, there were still half of the windows in Mashou Castle for shooting, and he remembered them clearly.

Li Cong's face suddenly sank. With such a deputy, how could he be invincible?

"I mean, look at the soil material used in the sandbags of the Kingdom people." Li Cong had no choice but to remind him.

"The military knowledge of the kingdom people is obviously not enough!" Colonel Black Hawk Army stared at the sandbag for a long time based on Li Cong's reminder, and he also came to a conclusion. "A lot of the soil in the sandbag is wet, and some are even dripping water, which is unable to withstand the penetration power of heavy machine gun bullets."

Peat...Li Cong's face looked ugly as if he had swallowed a lump of Xiang, but he was the kind he had just spit out.

I just praised it in vain? If they were trash, what would I be? The little gray in the trash?

"Where did those large amounts of fresh soil come from?" Perhaps thinking of a more serious problem, Li Cong didn't bother scolding his colleagues who had already labeled a fool in his heart, but asked to himself.

This person! It still depends on himself. Li Cong has never understood the words the teacher had said so deeply, so many idiots!

"Dig..." Colonel Black Hawk Army murmured.

Then, the faces of the three people became extremely ugly.
