After hearing Ye Mengxiong's inquiry, Xiao Ruxun looked at Wei Xuezeng, then nodded and said, "That is, the general of the Imperial City is tall and strong. He also tried to bombard the Ningxia city with artillery before. He found that even if it was bombarded with solid bombs, it was only a shallow hole, and the flowering bullet could not activate it at all. The main force of the army had been attacking for three days before, and Ningxia City remained unmoved. Our army suffered a lot of losses. Seeing this, the general of the Imperial City proposed to find another way to break the city."

“What strategy?”

Ye Mengxiong's expression became serious.

"Use gunpowder to blow up the city wall!"

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

"What the General of the Monarch said is not to explode on the ground." Xiao Ruxun explained: "The General of the General means digging tunnels from the surface until the foundation of the city wall, and burying 20,000 kilograms of gunpowder at the low ground, detonating together, overturning the city wall from the ground!"

"Cross the city wall?"

Ye Mengxiong showed an incredible look, and Wei Xuezeng also stood up and walked forward: "Male omen, I don't know much about gunpowder and firearms. General Xiao Shen said this. It's really hard to make a decision. One is unprecedented and I'm not sure about this. The other is too much loss in siege. I can't bear to damage too many military and horses, nor can I attack the city and destroy the people's livelihood in the city. You know a lot about gunpowder and firearms. I'll ask you, do you think this is feasible?"

Ye Mengxiong did not answer immediately, but lowered his head and thought deeply. After a while, he said carefully: "I have also observed the Ningxia city walls. It is unwise to attack. If it is supplemented by counter-escaping, it is not very reliable. The thief's retreat has been cut off. He will definitely defend Ningxia City to gain a glimmer of hope. It is not so easy to fall into a trap. I think that at this moment, rather than expecting him to surrender, it is better to think about how to break the city."

Wei Xue once asked: "Male Zhao supports General Xiao Shen's suggestion?"

Ye Mengxiong did not express his attitude, but continued: "After all, this approach is unprecedented. We are not sure whether it will succeed. But there is no doubt that if this is successful, our army will greatly reduce its loss of troops. If we lose too much military force in this battle, it is probably impossible to continue to shock the grassland and trap the captives. The court has to increase its troops. After the war is over, the national treasury may not be able to support it."

When Wei Xuezeng heard this, he nodded and walked slowly, "What the man said is reasonable, but this is the first time that he has created the world, and I dare not say that he will succeed. And we must break the city. If we completely put the treasure on this, who can take on this responsibility if we fail?"

Xiao Ruxun knew that Wei Xuezeng's indecisive nature had arisen again when he heard this. People who are older like to look back and forth, even if it is unnecessary, it seems that Ye Mengxiong will be an important figure in the decision. Only when Ye Mengxiong promises to take on this responsibility with Wei Xuezeng will Wei Xuezeng dare to do it.

Ye Mengxiong looked at Xiao Ruxun from time to time. Xiao Ruxun returned with a firm look. He did not do such things as digging tunnels and mountain blasting. In order to prevent sudden zombie attacks and various natural disasters, every household in the Survivor Base dug to tunnels, and the tunnels were connected to the tunnels, which were a tunnel warfare model during the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Although there are a bit different things, such as the types of gunpowder, generally speaking, Xiao Ruxun can provide this technology, as well as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army's battle examples as technical support. Xiao Ruxun is 80% sure to do this, and excavate multiple tunnels together. After all, there will be people in the city to arrange listening urns, but as long as one of them is successfully dug under the city wall, the matter will basically be successful.

At that time, you can appreciate what it means to "slide a huge city like peeling a piece of paper".

Do these two people 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 suddenly asked this.

Xiao Ruxun suddenly felt a little surprised and said hurriedly: "Just use a musket and heavy crossbow to attack the city, and send people to attack the city with loud noises, so that the enemy's listening to the urn is limited. The key is to create a great siege and a loud noise to affect the enemy's listening to the urn and make our tunnel successful. Of course, four to five tunnels will be dug from both the east and west directions of the city at the same time, causing the enemy's judgment to fall into a misunderstanding. As long as one tunnel is successful, supplemented by 20,000 kilograms of gunpowder, the general will be 99% sure to overturn the city wall!"

Xiao Ruxun held his fist tightly.

Ye Mengxiong nodded and looked at Wei Xuezeng: "Making the platform, the subordinate official will discuss it."

All the generals looked at Wei Xuezeng.

Wei Xuezeng looked at Xiao Ruxun, then Ye Mengxiong, with a serious expression and rapid breathing. The entire camp was quiet and unreasonable.

"General Xiao Shen, I...approved your proposal."

Wei Xuezeng made the final decision.

When Xiao Ruxun returned to the military camp, there was an old man with white beard behind him. This made Ma Gui who came out to greet him a little confused. Then when he learned that the "old man" was Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Gansu, Ma Gui's expression was a bit wonderful. According to the organization, Ma Gui was still a subordinate of others. Of course, he had been unemployed before, and now he had just resumed and had not had time to meet him. However, now everyone is all subordinates of Wei Xuezeng.

Ye Mengxiong looked at Ma Gui with a smile, encouraged him a few words, saying that General Xiao Shen said, "You are a good general and worthy of entrusting big things. I am optimistic about you and the like is enough to make Ma Gui so excited that he can't help himself. He quickly pulled Xiao Ruxun over and said that you are too righteous. If you become successful, you will definitely not forget you! Then the two of them made a bloody oath of "Don't forget each other if you are rich and noble."

However, at this moment, Xiao Ruxun and Ma Gui would not realize what role each other would play in their future lives.

The purpose of Ye Mengxiong coming to Xiao Ruxun's camp was to exchange firearms with Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun had been appointed as the commander-in-chief of this operation before. Wei Xue had dispatched 1,000 troops to Xiao Ruxun for full command and command, and was directly responsible for him. If the generals present dared to reveal what happened today, they would definitely be killed.

Xiao Ruxun returned to the camp to make some preparations, and Ye Mengxiong followed him. The old man was 62 years old and was actually steadily riding a horse, making him extraordinary.

Ye Mengxiong first inspected Xiao Ruxun's cannon camp, saw the Fran motorcycle cannons transformed by Xiao Ruxun, and then saw the ten Ye Gong magic guns in Xiao Ruxun's army. Ye Mengxiong was undoubtedly quite satisfied with the cannons transformed by Xiao Ruxun. Seeing that the cannon was very convenient and effortless, Ye Mengxiong knew that Xiao Ruxun was also an expert. The two of them started to talk about increasing the power of the cannon and put Ma Gui aside.

Ma Gui, who was neglected, finally realized that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Faced with the exchange between academic masters, Ma Gui shivered and did not realize it. He secretly vowed in his heart to decide that after the war ended, he would repair the knowledge related to firearms and hold Ye Mengxiong's thigh.
