Chapter 542 Engineers

,.

"My subordinates thought they could dig tunnels from our army camp to the entrance of the Beilu camp, then place gunpowder to blow up the village walls and trenches, and rushed into the camp in the midst of chaos after the explosion." Shi Huaiyi reported the results he had just discussed with Chen Heng on the road to Luo Shiji. "Zheng Chen was a miner before. According to what he said, there are now many miners in the camp who are good at digging, and the soil here is enough to withstand excavation. As long as there are enough people, they can be digging to the entrance of the enemy camp within a few days."

"Where to excavate? How to conceal the digging soil? What if you encounter a big stone in the middle blocking the road? Now there are enough equipment in the army? During this period, you will encounter traces of collapse exposed? How can you estimate the distance you are advancing underground to ensure that the gunpowder is just placed at the entrance of the enemy camp?" Luo Shiji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked several key points of this plan. As long as these problems can be avoided, this plan can indeed solve the current problems.

"Our army camp is still some distance away from the Beilu camp, and there are village walls and tents to block it. They can't see what happens in the middle of the camp; as for the soil, it can be transported to the rear or pretended to prepare mud bags to fill the Beilu trenches to cover it up." Chen Heng replied confidently. He had already thought about these questions on the way back. "According to the judgment of the local soil, there is no chance of burying big stones underground. Even if you encounter a slight turn; as for the calculation of the distance, it is not a problem at all, and when you are a miner, you have already mastered all the mystery of this."

"Okay! What other questions do you have?" Luo Shiji received a satisfactory answer. He was afraid that he would not think well, so he asked the other staff members in the tent to continue asking questions. He had been discussing for half an hour before all the questions were solved. None of the problems you had had could not be solved, and the feasibility of this plan was greatly enhanced.

"Everything is moving, I'll give you another half an hour to write a complete plan. I'll report it to the Grand Marshal." The anxiety for many days was finally relieved. It seems that the first battle since the General Staff came out may have a perfect result. Luo Shiji breathed a sigh of relief and a smile gradually appeared on his face. "When this plan is passed, I'll go to the Grand Marshal to ask you for me! After winning this battle, I'll invite you to drink."

"Just drinking alone is not enough. General Luo has to arrange a few courtesans for us." The atmosphere of the General Staff also became relaxed and happy. The staff members were preparing plans while joking with Luo Shiji.

"The courtesan is not there. I can get a few sows from Sun Chuyang. I wonder if you want them?" Luo Shiji knew that appropriate jokes could relieve the tension for many days, so he was not angry.

"Chen Heng probably will definitely like it. He usually says that he likes a sow's butt, and he is absolutely satisfied with the sow's butt." With the bursts of laughter, an extremely detailed plan was sorted out.

Luo Shiji took over the plan and checked it carefully several times, but found no problems. So he put away the plan that had not dried in the moji, looked around and shouted, "Shi Huaiyi, Chen Heng, you two go with me to meet the Grand Marshal." This plan was mainly due to them, and they were clearer in many details than Luo Shiji, and they happened to bring them with him for Li You to ask about it.

Shi Huaiyi and Chen Heng suddenly felt an uncontrollable joy on their faces when they heard the news. This was a good opportunity to show their faces in front of the Taiwei. If the plan was appreciated by the Taiwei, it would definitely be of great benefit in the future. The rest of the people also looked envious. It was a pity that they did not think of this plan at the beginning?

The visitor sorted out his military uniform again, and then followed Luo Shiji to Li You's coaching tent with stiff steps. When he arrived at the coaching tent, Luo Shiji handed the plan to Li You and gave a brief explanation. After Li You read it carefully, he passed it to Qin Shixin, Zhou Bofu, Sun Chuyang and others.

After they finished reading it, Li You asked, "Do you think this plan is feasible? But what are the difficulties?"

"Now my Jiazhou army's war horses have received relevant training and are guaranteed not to panic because of the explosion. The Beilu have never seen the power of gunpowder. After the explosion, the war horses will definitely explode the camp. If they can attack the camp, our Jiazhou army will definitely win." Qin Shixin said first. In his opinion, dealing with those panicked cavalry is as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

"How do your cavalry plan to pass through the big pit after the explosion? I'll let our infantry take the lead in the battle." Zhou Bofu immediately stood up to grab the credit, and he had no doubt about this plan.

"The tools and gunpowder needed for excavation are enough, so there is no need to be transported separately." Sun Chuyang's main focus was on the material list at the end of the plan.

"Don't worry about the explosion of the big pit. There is a plan in the plan. The first batch of cavalrymen who attacked need to carry a bag of soil and throw it into the big pit at that time." After Shi Huaiyi's calculations, it doesn't take long to fill the big pit.

The plan given by the General Staff was very perfect, and Qin Shixin and the others could think of all the problems they could think of had a solution. After reading it, they didn't know what to ask for. After a long time, Sun Chuyang said, "When the Taiwei formed the General Staff, his subordinates were a little dissatisfied. Now it seems that the General Staff is more useful than a few. If it were placed in the past, the army would not have come up with such a detailed plan no matter what."

"If this battle is won, the General Staff will be the first to be the leader." The words of the three foul generals who were Zhuge Liang were not in vain. The collective wisdom was far better than the genius's inspiration. After praising Luo Shiji and others, Li You began to arrange tasks. "Since this is the case, Mr. Sun is responsible for preparing various materials required for the plan. General Qin and General Zhou cooperated with General Luo to mobilize soldiers who were good at excavation."

"In addition, I have already established a plan to set up a new military branch that is responsible for excavation, building camps, and building bridges and paving roads. However, the time has not been mentioned before. Now it seems that it is the time. The soldiers who were drawn this time will not need to return to the team in the future. They will call another army 'engineers', and these things will be handed over to them in the future." Li You turned to look at Chen Heng, "The first commander of this engineering battalion will be temporarily held by Chen Heng. Do you have any opinions?"
