"Huh." Zachdan was surprised, turned his head to look at the name of the staff officer who spoke, and made a note of the face of the staff officer who was spinning quickly.

Then after thinking about it carefully, he smiled and said, "It's really true!" Why didn't I think of it before, there are many talents on the sapper side, tinkering is overkill, and building bridges, paving roads, and digging holes are also old trades.

If you cooperate with experts who are proficient in blasting technology, you will be able to play a huge role in siege warfare. ”

As he spoke, Zachdan paused slightly, then tapped his finger on the telescope and said, "I remember, our engineering troops are not bad in combat besides doing these craftsman work?" ”

"The commander-in-chief is not mistaken, at the beginning, in the turmoil of the four years of fire, it was an engineering company that took down the rebels who were preparing to rebel against the mint.

It was indeed a tough battle, and those who gathered to prepare for the rebellion held only the weapons of our army in their hands, and they also had a geographical advantage.

The engineer company sacrificed nearly twenty soldiers in that battle, but in the end, they still took the main force of the rebels and captured the rebel generals alive.

Later, the engineering units of our army were basically expanded and dismantled from that engineering company, so the subordinates believed that the soldiers of those engineering units were indeed ruthless and a strong army that could build and fight. ”

Zachdan nodded and said, "Well, I have an image, and at the time of that battle, I seemed to be still on the front line, leading the army on the way back.

If so, it would be great, let the soldiers of the engineer company give it a try, and if it really can be done, then when they go back, they will report and ask the military department to send some veterans to re-enrich the engineer unit.

Recruit some experts who can blast to train together, and specialize in experimenting with this siege technique and street warfare technology.

It seems that I gave up for the time being because the training was too difficult, but if the effect is really good, then I think this preparation can be restored! ”

The adjutant had not experienced the bloody fighting era of that year, and he really did not know that his side had a combat engineer establishment before, and he was afraid that he would forget about this matter when he was busy, so he immediately took out his notebook and wrote it down, so that he could supervise this matter after the war.

"It's still that our cavalry strength is insufficient, otherwise, they will all be surrounded, and I'm afraid that the time will not be the same.

At the end of this battle, we must find the king to expand the number of cavalry troops.

Also, I think that if there are any of these captives who perform better, they can also be taken out separately for examination.

If it is found that there is no harm to anyone, and there is no blood debt of the people on your hands, then it can be completely absorbed into our army······"

Before Zachdan could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a shout of killing from the location of the south gate, and the adjutant, staff officer and others immediately stopped the recording work they were doing and looked in the direction of the south gate together.

And he saw piles and bundles of firewood and hay thrown down from the top of the wall of the city on that side.

The items smashed into the bulging triangular backs of two of the caravans, then slid down the sides of the caravan at an angle of the triangles on either side, piling up.

Then, the soldiers of the Houjin Army, under the threat of the waist knives of the Warlords and the Houjin officers, poked their heads out at the risk of death and poured out something like grease.

Except for some of the Houjin army, which was more unlucky, they were killed as soon as they poked their heads out, and the jars in their hands were smashed on the city wall, at least thirty percent of the others were poured on the firewood and hay.

Then, without even thinking about it, he knew what was going to happen, and several torches that were burning vigorously were thrown from the city and landed on the pile of debris of firewood, hay, and grease.

Immediately a fire broke out on top of the pile, and the fire was blazing, and under a caravan, several burning people suddenly rushed out, and the burning men kept rolling on the ground, screaming, screaming, and crying for help.

This tragic scene is like hell, which makes the newly recruited conscripts a little frightened. The coated captives even shrank their eggs en masse, not daring to move in the slightest.

Officers and veterans such as the artillery platoon commander not far from the city gate seemed to have heard the terrible howl beside them. Their eyes were straight and they were staring at the location of the hole in the city gate.

The artillery platoon commander stretched out his hand and patted the barrel on his side, reminding the two artillery commanders beside him, "Pay attention to the location of the doorway, check the fuse, but don't drop the chain in an emergency." ”

As soon as the two gunners saluted and indicated that they would immediately carry out the order, they heard a trumpet sound at the head of the city, and a large number of birds and gunners appeared at the same time at the position of the battlements at the head of the city.

They fired an extremely fierce volley at the shield car array under the city, and several Chinese infantrymen who were frightened by the people struggling in the flames and had no time to guard were hit by the dense flying lead bullets and fell to the ground.

There were also some strong Houjin Tartars, who threw out the ash bottles that had been prepared a long time ago and had not been played.

The clay pot smashed on several shield carts that had stopped not far from the city wall after crossing the trench, and for a while, the lime in the clay pot splashed out and splashed everywhere.

Several hapless coated captives, blinded by lime, covered their faces and rolled on the ground in pain.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden burst of fierce shouting and killing from inside the city gate cave, and a dense crowd poured out from both sides of the city wall, passed through the city gate cave, and rushed all the way to the outside of the city.

The artillery platoon commander waited until the hole in the city gate was crowded with people, and then took a step back and patted the artillery commander of the infantry gun on the left, and gave the order, "No. 1 gun." Shoot! ”

The gun commander subconsciously pulled the fire cable, and then heard a loud "boom", and the solid bullets loaded in advance rushed out of the cannon in the smoke of gunpowder, and flew into the city gate cave with great speed.

Then, the solid bullet with a strong charge of propellant tore all the objects in front of it to pieces, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

In the cave of the city gate, the stumps and broken arms flew in all directions, and even the soldiers of the Houjin Army who were not hit by the solid bullets were also knocked over on their backs by the limbs, weapons, armor blades and other debris that were constantly flying indiscriminately.

"A strong charge is fucking fierce!" The artillery platoon commander had an excited look on his face, and he didn't know what was wrong.

This specially prepared cannon with a strong charge of propellant suddenly made the Houjin army's long-prepared attack like a rainbow, and it was disgraced, and the city gate cave was full of dead and wounded, and the screams were amplified through the echo of the door hole, and spread far away.
