Wanli 1592

Chapter 34 Accurate!
Hearing Ye Mengxiong's question, Xiao Ruxun looked at Wei Xuezeng, then nodded and said, "Exactly, the last general sees that the city of Ningxia is tall and solid, and he tried to bombard it with artillery before, and found that even if he bombarded it with solid bullets, it was only a shallow one." The hole, and the flowering bomb can't move it even a bit. Before the main force of the army attacked for three days, the city of Ningxia stood still, and our army suffered a lot of losses. Seeing this, the last general suggested another way to break the city."

"What strategy?"

Ye Mengxiong's face became serious.

"Blow up the city wall with gunpowder!"

Ye Mengxiong's complexion changed, and his brows were deeply frowned: "Blow up the city wall with gunpowder? General Xiao Shen, since the artillery can't hurt the city wall at all, how can you blow up the city wall with gunpowder?"

"What the general said didn't mean bombing on the ground." Xiao Ruxun explained: "The general meant to dig a tunnel from the surface to the base of the city wall, bury it in the ground with [-] catties of gunpowder, and detonate it together. Overturn the city wall!"

"Turn over the city wall?"

Ye Mengxiong showed an inconceivable expression, Wei Xuezeng also stood up, and walked forward: "Nan Zhao, I don't know much about gunpowder and firearms. General Xiao Shen said so. It is really hard for me to make a decision. First, this matter is unprecedented. I am really not sure. The loss of the two sieges is too great, I really can't bear to damage too many troops and horses, and I can't bear to destroy the livelihood of the people in the city, you know a lot about gunpowder and firearms, so I will ask you, do you think this is feasible?"

Ye Mengxiong didn't answer right away, but lowered his head and pondered for a long time before he said: "The old man has also observed the city wall of Ningxia, and it is unwise to attack by force. It is not reliable if supplemented by counter-divorce. The way out for the thieves is already gone." It is not so easy to fall into the trap, the old man thinks that at this moment, instead of expecting him to voluntarily surrender, it is better to think about how to break the city."

Wei Xuezeng asked: "Nan Zhao supports General Xiao's suggestion?"

Ye Mengxiong did not express his attitude, but continued: "After all, such an approach is unprecedented. I am not sure whether it will be successful, but there is no doubt that if it is successful, our army will greatly reduce the loss of troops. If too many troops are lost in this battle, we may not be able to continue to deter the captives in the grassland, and the imperial court will have to increase troops, and the treasury may not be able to sustain the war for a long time."

Wei Xuezeng heard the words, nodded, and walked slowly: "Nan Zhao's words are reasonable, but this is the first time to open up the world, I dare not say that it will be successful, and we will definitely destroy this city. If we completely suppress the treasure On this, in case of failure, who can take on this responsibility?"

As soon as Xiao Ruxun heard it, he knew that Wei Xuezeng's indecisive temper had flared up again. Older people like to look forward and backward, even if it is not necessary. From this point of view, Ye Mengxiong will be an important person in the decision. Only Ye Mengxiong agrees to bear this responsibility with Wei Xuezeng. Wei Xuezeng dared to do it.

Ye Mengxiong looked at Xiao Ruxun from time to time, and Xiao Ruxun returned his firm eyes. He didn't do such things as digging tunnels and blasting mountains too much. In the survivor base, in order to prevent sudden zombie attacks and various natural disasters, the entire family of the survivor base Every household dug tunnels, tunnels connected to tunnels, the whole tunnel warfare mode during the Anti-Japanese War.

Although there are some differences, such as the type of gunpowder and so on, in general, this technology can be provided by Xiao Ruxun, and there are examples of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army as technical support. Xiao Ruxun is [-]% sure that he can do this. , Multiple tunnels were excavated together. After all, someone in the city would arrange to listen to the urn, but as long as one was successfully dug under the city wall, the matter was basically successful.

At that time, you can appreciate what it means to "overturn a giant city like a piece of paper".

Do these two have such courage and courage?

"General Xiao Shen, how do you need our army to cooperate with you when you are digging the tunnel?"

Ye Mengxiong asked suddenly.

Xiao Ruxun was suddenly surprised and inexplicable, and hurriedly said: "You only need to attack the city with firecrackers and heavy crossbows, and send people to pretend to attack the city, making loud noises so that the enemy's hearing effect is limited. The key is to create a great illusion of siege and a huge The sound of the enemy army's listening can affect the enemy's hearing and make my tunnel successful. Of course, four to five tunnels will be dug from the east and west of the city at the same time, making the enemy's judgment fall into a misunderstanding. As long as one tunnel is successful, supplemented by two tunnels. With ten thousand catties of gunpowder, there is a ninety-nine out of ten chance that this city wall will be overturned!"

Xiao Ruxun clenched her fist tightly.

Ye Mengxiong nodded, and looked at Wei Xuezeng: "Make the stage, the lower officials seconded."

All the generals looked at Wei Xuezeng.

Wei Xuezeng looked at Xiao Ruxun, then at Ye Mengxiong, his face was stern, his breathing was relatively short, and the whole camp was unbelievably quiet.

"General Xiao Shen, this governor... agrees to your proposal."

Wei Xuezeng made the final decision.

When Xiao Ruxun returned to the barracks, he was followed by an old man with a white beard, which made Ma Gui, who came out to greet him, a little confused, and when he found out that the "old man" was Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Gansu, Ma Gui's expression was a bit exciting——according to the establishment , Ma Gui is still a subordinate of his family, of course he has been out of work before, and now he has just recovered, and has not had time to get to know each other, but now everyone is unified as Wei Xuezeng's subordinate.

Ye Mengxiong looked at Ma Gui with a smile, and said a few words of encouragement, saying what General Xiao Shen said, you are a good general, you are worthy of entrusting great things, the old man is very optimistic about you and other scenes, this is enough to make Ma Gui overwhelmed with excitement , hurriedly pulled Xiao Ruxun over and said that you kid is too generous, and my brother will never forget you when he is so successful!Then the two made a dog-blood oath of "don't forget each other as long as you are rich and noble".

But at this moment, Xiao Ruxun and Ma Gui will not realize what role the other party will play in each other's future lives.

The purpose of Ye Mengxiong's visit to Xiao Ruxun's camp was to exchange firearms with Xiao Ruxun. Before that, Xiao Ruxun had been appointed as the commander-in-chief of this operation. One word for today's matter, it will never be spared.

Xiao Ruxun went back to the camp to make some preparations, and Ye Mengxiong also came along. At the age of 62, the old man was able to ride a horse safely, and his posture was extraordinary.

Ye Mengxiong first inspected Xiao Ruxun's cannon battalion, saw Xiao Ruxun's remodeled Fran locomotive cannon, and then saw the ten Ye Gong God guns in Xiao Ruxun's army. Ye Mengxiong was undoubtedly very satisfied with Xiao Ruxun's modified car cannon Ye Mengxiong knew that Xiao Ruxun was also an expert when he saw that the cannon was easy and convenient to drive, so the two exchanged the topic of increasing the power of the cannon, leaving Ma Gui, a layman, aside.

The neglected Magui finally realizes that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Facing the communication between Xueba and Xueba, Magui, the dregs of the school, trembles, not knowing what is going on, and secretly makes an oath in his heart, deciding to end the battle In the future, I have to catch up on the knowledge related to firearms, hugging Ye Mengxiong's thigh.
