"Oh? What kind of combat engineer unit do they call, and what does it do? ”

Naturally, it was the first time that Dolgon had heard the word "sapper", and there were no professional sappers in the army of this era.

In fact, there are almost no troops under Chen Xin's command, because the Huaxia Army does not have a large-scale pursuit combat mission for the time being, and there is no need for engineers to open roads and build bridges in the mountains and rivers.

These tasks are basically undertaken by the auxiliaries, and the occasional engineering units are responsible for training and leading the auxiliaries to work, in addition to being combat engineers.

That Song Yiqin didn't know very well, he said with some hesitation: "Villain, villain, I don't know, but in their battalion, some people are in charge of laying mines, and some people are in charge of fiddling with explosives."

In addition, a large number of people are fighting with such short rifles and grenades, 10,000 enemies and the like. ”

At this time, Gao Hongzhong seemed to have understood, leaned down, leaned over to Dolgon's side, and whispered to him: "Lord Wang, it seems that this combat engineer unit should be a battalion in charge of breaking the city. ”

Dolgon also understood, nodded slightly in agreement with Gao Hongzhong's statement, Gao Hongzhong saw Dolgon's appearance, and continued with confidence: "This Huaxia army is very different from the Ming army that we often fought against in previous years.

Among them, the biggest difference between the Huaxia Army and the Ming Army is that they seek refinement but not more for firearms, and simplicity rather than complexity.

In previous years, the firearms used by the soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom were extremely complicated, but none of them were usable because of the indiscriminate use of the supervising ring.

The firearms used by the Huaxia army, to put it mildly, are just a few, but they are extremely convenient to use, even if at the time of the Lushun Campaign, Huaxia made two or three new firearms, it can be seen from the total number, it is still not much.

There seems to be some talk in this, but the minions are stupid and can't say it for a while. ”

Dorgon sighed and said, "There is indeed some talk here, in fact, as you just said, they are equipped with different weapons among the men and horses of different uses.

Therefore, ordinary foot soldiers are equipped with muskets with bayonets, while the special service platoon of Narauszi is equipped with another kind of rifle because it needs to charge, break the formation, break the rear, block the enemy, and specialize in fighting tough battles, and their cavalry is a different system.

This is especially true of this combat engineer, but there are very few people who can fight at night, so the number of people in his team must not be too large. ”

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and pondered for a while, through the battlefield information he had recently obtained, he could roughly outline the composition of Chen Xin's army, and a large number of troops with different tactics such as line infantry formations, skirmish formations, artillery, and cavalry were mixed operations.

This combat engineer unit should also be a small number of troops, which is only used for combat operations on specific occasions such as city breaches and night raids.

It seems that there is a lot of talk about the firearms model, staffing, and tactical training in the Huaxia Army, and those soldiers can only reflect one one-sided thing after another.

Until now, even with Dorgon's cleverness, there was no way to form a holistic concept of Chen Xin's military planning.

That Song Yiqin saw that the big Tartar named Dolgon didn't say a word for a long time, and became even more nervous, and he had been waiting in fear, his heart was full of fear.

Dolgon had already thought about all kinds of complicated things in the Huaxia Army, and he fell into a nightmare from which he couldn't extricate himself, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

After waiting for a long time, Dorgon seemed to have figured out something, but he burst out laughing, and then it turned into laughter, and he stopped for a long time.

He stood up and whispered a few words to Gao Hongzhong, and then walked out of the tent, and Gao Hongzhong behind him went over to talk to Song Yiqin.

"If you are willing to serve the prince, the prince will allow you to carry the flag into the yellow flag, reward 100 taels of silver, 2 cattle, 10 coats, and 3 women will be selected by you······"

Dolgon stopped walking outside the tent, and on the opposite side of the Cockscomb Mountain, there was still a cannon fired without a single shot, and the sound of cannon fire continued to come out.

Now, the earthen wall on the entire western boundary of the Houjin army is under the threat of artillery on Jiguan Mountain, and as another cannonball flies out when Dolgon goes out, many Houjin soldiers have made hurried evasion actions.

Immediately afterwards, the artillery cannons and other mortars equipped by the Huaxia army on the opposite side also followed with a salvo, and Dorgon knew that this was a harassment tactic used by the Huaxia army.

The meaning of the Huaxia Army is to constantly harass the Houjin army and hit the morale of the Houjin army, so as to achieve the goal of dragging down the Houjin army.

Now, Dolgon knew that the city in front of him was much more difficult to fight than the Daling River that fought with the Ming Dynasty, and it was difficult for the soldiers of the Houjin Army to have a high sense of security even if they hid behind the earthen wall.

Dolgon ordered in a deep voice, "Send an order to all bannermen, only send Baoyi to dig trenches today, and in addition, use archers to fire cold arrows at the opposite side in scattered formations, not too dense, but first, to ensure that they cannot be cut off."

In addition, all flags must strengthen their defenses, make all preparations, and all passages of the earthen wall should be dug up and disconnected by the king, and wooden planks should be put on top for passage, and after night, all the planks must be removed, so as not to give the opposite Huaxia army a chance to take advantage of it······"

After receiving the order, the Goshkhas immediately went to the banners to give orders.

After the Goshkhas left, Dolgon looked in the direction of Arthur City again, shook his head slightly, and said to himself, "What kind of person is this Chen Xin, so many bad moves." can be thought of by him. Why did you betray my Dajin Kingdom! It's really damn tight! ”

····················

There was a dull sound of landing, and the leper peeked through the trench, then leaned his hoe against the wall of the trench, and sat down panting.

He was in the middle of the earthen walls of the two opposing sides, and they were approaching the line of defense where the Huaxia army was with a trench.

They had been digging trenches for several days, and the loss of coating was very huge, and they didn't know how to dig trenches at the beginning, so they dug straight to the opposite side.

But that kind of trench, in the daytime, was beaten by the riflemen of the Huaxia Army.

So, they had to stop and improve the way they dug the trenches.

At night, they dug horizontally again, and after slowly dying a lot of people, they found some way, that is, they dug straight at night and dug horizontally during the day, so that they could reach the current situation, and they were about to approach the area of the barrage.
