The smelting technology of this era is still very primitive, although the technology of Huaxia is much beyond this era because of Chen Xin's golden finger, but the technology cannot be suddenly raised, and it is still going to spiral.

Therefore, although the rifles used by the Huaxia Army continued to fire far more than almost all muskets of this era, they only reached the level of 3 or 40 rounds.

After the number of consecutive shots of the rifle reaches this number, it is necessary to stop and cool down the barrel, either for a new batch of fighters or for a different batch of rifles.

Otherwise, there is a high risk that the gunpowder contained in the barrel will spontaneously combust and cause accidental injury.

It is for this reason that the Huaxia Army will leave rotating teams on the various lines of defense on the front line while arranging the general reserve in the rear.

It is precisely because of the constant rotation that the warriors of the kingdom can always maintain good physical strength.

The sky was dark, and most of the Huaxia troops who were on duty in the rammed earth wall were resting in place.

The busiest of all right now are the auxiliaries who are delivering supplies to the wall.

Other than that, only a small number of infantry were sporadically moving outside the rammed earth wall in small groups, guarding against possible night attacks by the Houjin army.

Chen Xin and Chief of Staff Liu were still on the northern city wall, and the rammed earth wall built by the Tartars in front of the Lushun defense line had basically taken shape, and the tyrannical oppression of the overseers and overseers actually made the clothed minions very efficient.

Up to now, the rammed earth wall on the Houjin side is still increasing, and in order to contain the strength of the Huaxia army, the rammed earth wall they are increasing is not completely closed, leaving a lot of gaps in the sound of the wall to facilitate the Tartars to attack.

"Your Majesty, it looks like they want to increase the earthen wall to a point higher than our rammed earth wall."

Chen Xin said lightly in a completely indifferent tone: "No matter how hard they try, the earthen wall built in this way will not be higher than the pier on our defense line.

As long as the pier defense system is still complete, the Tartars will not be able to achieve terrain superiority. ”

After thinking for a while, Chief of Staff Liu also nodded in agreement: "The commanding heights around us are all in our hands, plus the threat of Cockscomb Mountain and Golden Mountain, it is still hanging over the heads of the Tartars.

No matter how much they heightened, widened, and strengthened the rammed earth wall, there was no way to block the shelling of Jiguan Mountain and Golden Mountain, and the soldiers of the Houjin Army stationed near the rammed earth wall were under the threat of our artillery all the time.

The subordinates will again transfer a 10-pound mountain howitzer company to strengthen the battery on Jiguan Mountain. ”

"Well, well, just do it, but you have to pay attention to the shelling on Cockscomb Mountain, and you don't need to emphasize the intensity. As long as you can keep the continuous blow and keep the people on the Tartar side nervous.

I will also continue to draw reinforcements from the country, send more artillery companies over, and besides, we have so many relationships on the Ming side now, we can also think of a way to select a batch of better quality artillery. ”

Chief of Staff Liu was so happy that he didn't know what to say, but immediately, as if he had thought of something, he was silent for a while and then said to Chen Xin again: "My subordinates want to ask the king to take charge of the overall situation at the port······

Chen Xin squinted his eyes at the other party, "You were frightened by the Tartars' determination to attack this time?" ”

"Your Majesty, your subordinates are definitely not frightened, and your subordinates are not afraid of Tartars, nor are they afraid of death. As you know, his subordinates are from Liaodong, and in the year of the Apocalypse, Liaodong fell, and his subordinates were exiled to Shandong, and were arrested by the Ming army and taken as a servant.

Later, when Jun Shang passed through Shandong, he saved the lives of his subordinates, who were able to lead tens of thousands of troops today to defend the last piece of land of our Han people in Liaodong. There is no regret about death.

This time, the Tartars' determination to attack Lushun was very firm, and the kingdom could have no subordinates, but it must not be without a king. The subordinates know that the king has arranged the hole cards here, and he can turn the tables at a critical moment, but he is not afraid of 10,000 just in case! ”

As Chief of Staff Liu spoke, he was about to kneel down and ask for Chen Xin.

Chen Xin helped him up, "In our kingdom, the court and the army, kneeling has long been abolished, stand up straight, don't bend down."

To tell you the truth, I know what you're thinking, and I know you're worried about the Tartars surrounding us high with rammed earth walls. Under the confrontation with our army, the casualties of our troops will increase.

However, I have always believed that it is absolutely impossible for the Tartars to defeat Lushun, because the Huaxia army under our command is an army different from the Tartar army under slavery.

They are the ranks of the revolution, and they are fighting for themselves, just like you and me. In this case, we are invincible. ”

Chief of Staff Liu lowered his head and was silent, Chen Xin knew what he was worried about, in fact, he himself had some concerns in his heart, Houjin used the rammed earth wall against the rammed earth wall, and completely gave full play to the numerical advantage of nearly 200,000 horses, and it was impossible for the Huaxia army to compare with them whose rammed earth wall was higher.

At that time, it will become a chaotic war, and even if you can definitely turn the tables under the chaotic army, you can't say how many people will die.

"Remember, no matter how high their rammed earth walls are, the Tartars will still come at the end of the day, and they will never be able to hide from our trenches and a host of other defenses.

You should have full confidence in the defense line that you have built together with the General Staff, and what you need to do now is to stabilize your mentality and further improve the defense facilities, instead of worrying about my safety here.

What is more important than tactics is will, the courage of the soldiers, you have been doing assistance work in the General Staff before, to become a real commander, firm will is more important than a flash of inspiration.

The only thing you are worse than Zachdan, Zhong Fulin, and others is this little thing. ”

Chief of Staff Liu bowed gratefully and said, "Your subordinates have been taught, and you must remember the teachings of your superiors." ”

"Do you have any other plans for tonight?"

"The subordinates have arranged a night attack, preparing for a combat engineer company to attack, directly break through the enemy defense line in the center, and make a big move within the enemy army."

"Blurred vision at night, how do you cover for fire?"

"There are already two mortars that have just been trial-produced in the ordnance factory, and the subordinates have put these two mortars under the direct jurisdiction of the combat engineer company, and the subordinates are ready to concentrate them all in one place and assault the direction of Dolgon in the middle."
