After the plan was confirmed, what made Ye Mengxiong more interested was Xiao Ruxun's improvement of the gun's equipment, and he found that Xiao Ruxun's gunpowder bag was all equipped with a pack of oiled paper bags, and he was very curious, so he asked Xiao Ruxun why this was.

In this regard, Xiao Ruxun explained that in order to let the soldiers load faster, a certain amount of gunpowder and a lead bullet were wrapped in it, and poured it directly when used, eliminating the need to consider the amount and fill the lead bullet.

Then Xiao Ruxun showed Ye Mengxiong the three-stage round attack array he practiced, Ye Mengxiong's eyes lit up, he found that these guns are not only skilled, the operation is stable, but also very accurate when shooting, eighty steps away from the wooden card hit a hit, no bullets, it can be seen that these guns are well-trained elite soldiers, if there are thousands of such soldiers, it can form considerable combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

Xiao Ruxun also proposed that the fire rope needs to be soaked in urine and then dried, which can reduce the burning speed of the fire rope, Ye Mengxiong was surprised, because Da Ming did not have this technology at this time, and lit the fire rope for experiments, and it was really found that the burning speed was reduced by about one-third, which made Ye Mengxiong very surprised.

"Looking at Ji Xin's firearms battalion today, I know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is abandoned, after the end of this counterinsurgency, the old man wants to write to the imperial court, suggesting that the imperial court set up a training firearms battalion in accordance with Ji Xin's way to put it on the battlefield, Ji Xin thinks that the firearms battalion is supplemented by sword and shield soldiers can be frontal field iron cavalry?"

Xiao Ruxun replied: "The last general did not fight, but speculated that the last general did not have so many birds and guns, so he could not fight, if there was a chance for the end of the army to try to fight, the last general thought that the army was wrapped outside, the guns were hidden inside, and the iron cavalry would not dare to face its sharpness, and would definitely bypass the military formation.

And lead bullet has lead poison, gunpowder has fire poison, as long as it hits, with the medical skills of Mongolian thieves, the lightest result is amputation, otherwise the wound will festering and die, the training cost of a cavalry can train five soldiers, as long as a cavalry pawn can kill a cavalry pawn on the battlefield, even if it is a big profit, we have many people, and there are few thieves, and in the long run, the thieves will not be able to insist, in the words of the merchants, it is a sure profit. ”

Ye Mengxiong nodded: "I see, the lethality of lead is so great?" The old man really didn't know, otherwise he would have to write to the imperial court to try his best to promote the use of bird guns. ”

Xiao Ruxun took the opportunity to say: "I don't know if Futai knows, this bird gun, which was sent to the border in previous years, can be used in sixty percent is a miracle, most of the time only forty percent and fifty percent can be used, and the rest will be used in a bore."

Of the 1,200 bird guns in the warehouse, only 478 can be used, and the rest are all unusable. ”

Ye Mengxiong frowned: "There is such a thing?" The old man didn't know! ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded and said: "Over the years, the quality of firearms is more worrying, a considerable part of the border army is not unwilling to equip firearms, but can not be equipped at all, the court is always sinking into the sea and there is no news, in the long run, the border army is particularly dislike firearms, firearms are powerful Everyone knows, but the rate of inferior firearms is really too high." ”

Ye Mengxiong nodded solemnly, and said: "The old man will discuss this matter carefully with the production platform, Ji Xin, you have to do a good job in digging tunnels, whether we can be added to the official and be rewarded, it all depends on you, you know, if you want us to put the hope of victory on the body of a general, not only because of your talent, but also because of Yang Gong's reason, don't let me be disappointed!" ”

Xiao Ruxun's heart sank, and he hugged his fists and said: "I will not be disappointed by the control of Taiwan and Futai!" ”

Ye Mengxiong nodded and left with a heavy look.

Ma Gui was about to explode when he followed behind, so he hurriedly came up and asked, "What are you talking about?" So what does intimacy look like? These governors and governors have never taken us and other warriors seriously, so why are you an exception? ”

Xiao Ruxun looked at Ma Gui's meaty face, and smiled bitterly: "If you can also have a father-in-law who has been a secretary of the military department, you can too." ”

Ma Gui immediately stopped talking, and his eyes were as big as bull's eyes: "Brother Ji Xin, you married the daughter of the military department?" Your wife is the daughter of the military department? I thought it was ...... Why are you so good? ”

Xiao Ruxun actually wants to know very much, how can his father operate the daughter of the military department Shangshu into his own home, Yang Zhaoke is a real Jinshi class, has served as the governor of Liaodong and so on, you are one of the six Shangshu, and retired from Zhishi safely, what kind of means is that, how did he take a fancy to himself as a general? Is it just because the legendary self can write poetry?

Xiao Ruxun doesn't know how to write any sour poems now, Tang poems and Song poems are not copied, and the rest of life can still be copied if it is only as first seen, but Nalan Rongruo is such a hand-me-down work, which has been copied by the predecessors of the traverser, and he is really embarrassed to write.

Early the next morning, Xiao Ruxun looked around the entire Ningxia City Wall, and got the drawings of the Ningxia City Wall, so he discussed with Wei Xuezeng and Ye Mengxiong and selected several tunnel blasting points, all of which were selected in a place where there was only one defense on the side city wall.

This is not like the city gate, which is protected by three city gates, as long as the side wall here is blown up, it is an opening, and the army can rush in, fight with the thieves, and break the thief army!

For the sake of prudence, Xiao Ruxun still chose the camp tent at the back as the starting point for digging tunnels, and then arranged for the four responsible managers of the four tunnels scheduled by the church to dig a qualified hole, and personally commanded a group of soldiers to excavate, and then picked up the soil to other places, and figured out the whole process.

Then, Xiao Ruxun explored the soil in this area and found that there was little water, arid, and the soil was hard, and it was not easy to collapse, but once it collapsed, it would be a big collapse, which would destroy the entire tunnel.

Therefore, after Xiao Ruxun set the depth of the tunnel, he ordered a group of soldiers to use the wood in the camp to make brackets to prevent possible collapse during the excavation process, and made full preparations.

Then, it is the excavation and construction day and night, Wei Xuezeng and others according to the plan set before, every day during the day to fire artillery long-range attack on the city, and then order the soldiers to make a feint, beat the drum hard to make a loud noise to make the enemy army be confused, it is not easy to find that the Ming army is digging tunnels, although the daily feint is huge, but the intensity is not high, in order to prevent the rebels from suspicious, Wei Xuezeng will also order the army to attack once or twice.

In addition, a more important point is that Wei Xuezeng did not give up the possibility of persuasion or separation, he has always believed that it is the best policy to surrender without a fight, indeed, this is the best policy, but can it be implemented?
