Chapter 542: Sapper
"The subordinates thought that they could dig tunnels from our army camp to the gate of the Beiyu camp, and then put gunpowder to blow up the walls and trenches, and rushed into the camp when the enemy army was in chaos after the explosion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Shi Huaiyi reported the results of his discussion with Chen Heng on the road to Luo Shiji, "Captain Chen was a miner before, according to what he said, there are many miners in the camp who are good at digging, and the soil here is enough to withstand excavation, as long as the manpower is enough, he can dig to the gate of the enemy camp in a few days." ”
"Where to excavate? How to disguise the excavated soil? What should I do if I encounter a boulder in the middle? Is there enough equipment in the army today? Will you encounter any signs of collapse during this period? How do you estimate the distance you will advance underground, and make sure that the gunpowder is just at the door 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, then this plan can indeed solve the current trouble.
"Our army camp is still some distance from the Beiyu camp, and there are walls and tents to cover it, so they can't see what is happening in the middle of the camp; As for the earth, it can be transported to the rear, or it is pretended to be covered up by preparing mud bags to fill the trenches of the northern captives. Chen Heng replied confidently, he had already thought about these questions on the way back, "According to the judgment of his subordinates on the local soil quality, the probability of burying boulders underground is not large, even if it encounters a slight turn; As for calculating the distance, it is not a problem at all, and I have already mastered all the mysteries when I was a miner......."
"Good! What else do you have questions? Luo Shiji got a satisfactory answer, he was afraid that he was not thoughtful, and let the rest of the staff officers in the tent continue to ask questions, and they discussed for half an hour before they solved all the questions.
"Let's all move, give you half an hour, write a perfect plan, and I'll take it and report it to Lord Taiwei." The anxiety of many days has finally been alleviated, and it seems that the first battle since the staff came out of the mountain may have a successful result, Luo Shiji breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, "When this plan is passed, I will go to Lord Taiwei to ask for credit for you!" After winning this battle, I will invite you to drink. ”
"I'm afraid it's not enough to drink alcohol, General Luo has to arrange a few oirans for us." The atmosphere in the staff headquarters also became relaxed and pleasant, and the staff officers joked with Luo Shiji while preparing the plan.
"Oiran no, I can get a few sows from Sun Chuyang, I don't know if you want it?" Luo Shiji knew that appropriate jokes could relieve the tension that had been in place for many days, so he was not angry.
"Chen Heng estimates that he will definitely like it, he usually says that he likes big butts, and he is absolutely satisfied with the sow's ass." With bursts of laughter, an extremely detailed plan was put together.
Luo Shiji took the plan and carefully checked it several times, but did not find any problems, so he put away the plan that had not dried the ink, looked around and shouted, "Shi Huaiyi, Chen Heng, you two will go with me to see Lord Taiwei." "This plan is mainly because of them, and they know many details better than Luo Shiji, so they just brought them for Li You to ask.
Shi Huaiyi and Chen Heng suddenly had irrepressible joy on their faces when they heard the news, this is a good opportunity to show their faces in front of Lord Taiwei, if the plan is appreciated by Lord Taiwei, then there will be great benefits in the future, and the rest of the people also cast envious eyes, secretly regretting why they didn't think of this plan in the first place?
The person who came sorted out the military uniform again, and then followed Luo Shiji with stiff steps to Li You's handsome tent, and when he arrived at the handsome tent, Luo Shiji handed the plan to Li You and gave a brief explanation, Li You read it carefully and then passed it to Qin Shixin, Zhou Bofu and Sun Chuyang and others.
After they finished reading it, Li You asked, "Do you think this plan is feasible?" But what's the difficulty? ”
"Now the war horses of my Jiazhou army have received relevant training, to ensure that they will not panic because of the sound of explosions, and the northern captives have not seen the power of gunpowder, and the war horses will definitely blow up the camp after the explosion, if they can attack the camp, then our Jiazhou army will win." Qin Shixin was the first to say, in his opinion, dealing with those panicked cavalry was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
"How are your cavalry going to get through the crater after the explosion? I'm looking at the First World War, let's let the infantry take the lead. Zhou Bofu immediately stood up to grab the credit, and he had no doubts about this plan.
"The tools and gunpowder needed for the excavation were sufficient, so there was no need to bring in another one." Sun Chuyang's main attention was still on the list of supplies at the end of the plan.
"There is no need to worry about the explosion crater, there is a plan in the plan, the first cavalry to attack needs to carry a bag of dirt, and then throw it into the big pit." According to Shi Huaiyi's calculations, it will not take long to fill the pit.
The plan given by the General Staff is very perfect, Qin Shixin has given solutions to all the problems they can think of, after reading it, they didn't know what to ask for a while, and after a long time, Sun Chuyang said, "When Lord Taiwei set up the General Staff, his subordinates were still a little unimpressed, but now it seems that the General Staff is much more useful than a few praise paintings and wit, if it is put in the previous time when Taiwei Qiu was in the past, the army would not be able to come up with such a detailed plan anyway." ”
"If this battle is won, the General Staff should take the first credit." The words of Zhuge Liang of the three stinky generals were not in vain, the collective wisdom was far better than the genius's flash of inspiration, and after praising Luo Shiji and others, Li You began to arrange the task, "In this case, Mr. Sun is responsible for preparing all kinds of materials needed for the plan, and General Qin and General Zhou cooperate with General Luo to mobilize soldiers who are good at tunneling......"
"In addition, in fact, I have long had a plan to set up a new army that will be responsible for excavation, building camps, and building bridges and paving roads, but I have not mentioned it before the time has come, but now it seems that the time is right. The soldiers who were transferred this time did not have to return to the army in the future, and they called a separate army 'sappers,' and these matters were left to them in the future. Li You turned his head to look at Chen Heng, "The first commander of this engineer battalion will be Chen Heng for the time being, what is your opinion?" ”
Chen Heng had already thought that he might be rewarded before he came, but he didn't expect the reward to be so big, the commander of the first battalion was a senior officer in the Jiazhou Army, if he was promoted step by step, he would have to work hard for at least several years to get it, so he was directly dizzy by this good news, and only remembered to answer after a long time, "The last general obeys the order, and the last general will definitely be able to lead the engineer battalion."
