Shi Huaiyi came out of the camp, climbed slowly up along the path on the hillside, and came to the top of the hillside after a while, this book has a wide field of vision just to take in the Beiyu camp, a little regrettable is that the distance is a little far, and the details of the camp can not be seen with the naked eyesight alone, perhaps it is because of this that the Beiyu did not arrange a guard here, but they did not know that the Jiazhou army now has such an artifact as a telescope.

Shi Huaiyi carefully took out the binoculars from his arms, wiped them with a fine linen cloth, and then pointed the lens at the Beiyu camp, twisting the lens body to adjust the focus according to the method taught in the martial arts training that day, and after a while, the Beiyu camp appeared clearly in his field of vision.

He had observed the camp many times before, and although he had found some small flaws, they were still not fatal, and this time he made sure that those flaws were still there, and then moved the camera to an area that he had never observed before.

This large camp is just stuck between the two mountains, using the mountains to cover their left and right flanks, there are still soldiers stationed at the top of the peak, and the front is a trench densely inserted with sharp wooden guns at the bottom, behind the trench is a wall made of logs, above the wall countless northern archers are staring at the opposite Jiazhou army with vigilant eyes, as soon as someone appears, they will immediately bend their bows and arrows, and use the rain of arrows to resist the attack of the Jiazhou army.

The gates of the camp were locked, and several drawbridges had already been pulled up, and from the front, if you wanted to attack the camp, you had to fill in the trenches first, and in the process, those archers would inflict huge casualties on the Jiazhou army; The peaks on the left and right sides are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although there are not many defenders above, but just relying on rolling wood and stones is enough to block the attack of tens of thousands of people, of course Shi Huaiyi will not do this, the sheep intestine path on the hillside cannot accommodate so many people.

"These northern captives also have some skills, this big camp is not easy to break!" Shi Huaiyi sighed slightly, handed the telescope to his companion, and took out a charcoal paper to quickly record Fang Cai's observations.

"If it's a city, it's better, we can surround them on all sides and cut off their food and grass to see how long they can hold out, but here they can only attack from the front, and they can still rely on the roads in the valley to transport food and grass." Chen Heng, who accompanied him, took the telescope and began to observe.

From noon to sunset, until nightfall, when they could no longer see clearly, Shi Huaiyi, Chen Heng and others had to return to the camp, and today they still did not get much valuable information.

When they returned to the camp and didn't have to eat, they had some exchanges with the other captains of the staff, and they also didn't come up with a way to break through the northern camp at a relatively small cost.

"Hey, it's a pity that the first batch of artillery is all equipped with sailors, and those cannons are a little too heavy, otherwise a few of them will be transported over and bombarded with the Beiyu camp for a while, and they can be broken." Although artillery is still a secret in the Jiazhou Army, it does not want these staff officers to conceal it, after all, new weapons will inevitably bring new combat methods, and studying new combat methods in advance is also one of the important tasks of the General Staff.

"This is the first batch of artillery cast in the workshop, and in the future, there will be small cannons for the infantry and heavy artillery for defending the city, but no matter what, it will not be able to catch up with the battle in front of us." Luo Shiji explained that the first batch of artillery was specially designed for treasure ships, and there was no way to use consciousness here, otherwise he would have already proposed to use artillery to attack the enemy camp, and in his opinion, attacking the fortified city was one of the greatest uses of artillery.

"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, the matter of artillery will be talked about in the future, for now, let's think about how to break through the enemy village, right?" Luo Shiji then asked, "Did you find the trail of the same peaks on both sides of the road when you went to explore the road today?" ”

"My subordinates have searched for all the mountain people on the left, and according to them, almost all the roads leading to the mountain slopes have been blocked by the northern captives, and there are only a few cliffs and cliffs where the herb pickers walk, but they are not for ordinary people to walk." A staff officer replied.

"Anyway, it's a little hopeful, you go down and check, see how many soldiers in the army can climb the cliff now, if you have to, you can only count on them." Luo Shiji nodded slightly, this big and small is also a harvest.

The man took the order and left, and the rest of the people remained in the tent to engage in heated discussions, until the middle of the moon did they return to their respective barracks with red eyes and sleep, and the next day they crawled out of the barracks again and began a busy day according to their respective divisions.

The next day, there was still not much gain, they just found hundreds of climbers who had been tiger hunters and herb pickers in the past, and began to intensify their training to make the last alternative.

On the third day, it was proposed to burn the enemy camp with rockets, but Shi Huaiyi pointed out that the enemy had already cut down all the trees in the valley and that there were large water tanks near the tents, so the fire attack did not seem to have much effect.

On the fourth day, everyone was nervous, and there was not much time left for them, Shi Huaiyi and Chen Heng climbed the hillside again to observe the enemy camp, this time they came to a new observation location, Shi Huaiyi lay on a big stone and raised the telescope, but Chen Heng looked at the stone in surprise, "I didn't expect that there is an iron mine here, if it can be occupied by us, Gu Shilang will probably be happy for a while." ”

"Huh? How do you know it's iron ore? Shi Huaiyi replied casually.

"When I wasn't in the army, I worked as a miner for several years, digging holes in mountains and breaking rocks all day long. Chen Heng picked up a piece of crushed ore and said with emotion, "And it looks like a good mine." ”

Shi Huaiyi was stunned, he turned his head and stared at Chen Heng tightly, so that Chen Heng was completely confused, and he didn't know that he had made a mistake.

After a long while, Shi Huaiyi asked excitedly, "You just said that you worked as a miner?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Are there many people in the army who have been miners like you now?"

"Lord Taiwei likes miners the most in recruitment, and now there are more than a thousand people in the army, why do you ask this?" Chen Heng was also stunned as he spoke, he seemed to understand why Shi Huaiyi was so excited now.

"Good! Good! Good! The two looked at each other and smiled, and Chen Heng recalled slightly, "Judging from the color of the soil in the trench, this plan may work." ”

"So what are you waiting for!" Shi Huaiyi immediately stood up, "Now that we have a strategy to break the enemy, let's go back and report to General Luo." (To be continued.) )
