Chapter 329 (2/2)
In the south of the river, there is a flat area about 200 meters wide and more than 500 meters long. The expeditionary army built a position at the bottom of this area.
At the bottom of the valley, 350 grenadiers built a position for grenade throwers. 170 grenade throwers were divided into two rows, with a distance of more than two meters between them, which completely sealed the bottom of the flat area. 700 riflemen were also separated by two meters, forming four rows in front of the grenadiers.
As for the 300 guerrillas, Shi Xiong sent out 200 people to protect the mountain in the south of the valley, while the remaining 100 people were arranged to protect the musketeers.
Because there is a wide catoba River to the north of the valley, there is no need to worry about the Crees coming from the north. If the Crees want to advance or eat the expeditionary army, they can only attack from the front.
Although the mountain in the south is not high, only less than 200 meters, it is very steep and difficult to climb. It was not easy for the Crees to cross the mountain from the South and attack the grenadiers and Musketeers from the side.
Not to mention that on this mountain, Shi Xiong also arranged 200 guerrillas, who carried a large number of arrows and five heartless guns.
Once the Kerry people want to cross the mountain from the south, the guerrillas who occupy the advantage of the land will use the sky full of arrows and powerful heartless guns to inflict heavy damage on the Kerry people.
This position is the best that the stone bear can think of, and because of the limitation of the valley, even if the Kerry fought with their lives to break the blockade of guerrillas or Musketeers, the grenadiers in the rear can quickly retreat for a certain distance, and then build a position in place, Continue to use the long range advantage of the catapult to block the retreat of the riflemen and guerrillas in front.
In other words, if the Kerry people break through the valley mouth with the advantage of the number of people, Shi Xiong doesn't worry. His grenadiers and Musketeers can take advantage of the long range to retreat in turn, and continue to consume the Kerry soldiers in the process of retreat.
The position was quickly constructed. Although it was very simple, it could maximize the safety of the expeditionary soldiers.
The Kerry scouts, 30 miles away, apparently did not find the expeditionary army at the mouth of the valley. According to the information brought back by the expeditionary scouts, the Kerry people still gathered there, as if they were not in a hurry to leave.
How can this work? Now it's spring, and this area at the southern foot of the fog mountain will soon enter the rainy season. Once the rainy season comes, it's not a good thing for the expeditionary troops who use firearms.
Since you don't come out, let's tick you out!
Therefore, a hundred skilful Musketeers with Musketeers left the position of the expeditionary army on the only one hundred horses in the expeditionary army.
These 100 Musketeers, led by bonspear, will soon disappear into the hills in the distance. In the next few days, they will use the mobility of their horses to attack the Cree's base camp and attract the Cree to the exit of the katoba River Valley as much as possible!
