Inside the New Army camp in the West Garden, a new weapon appeared. Perhaps he should call it a tool. If Shang Wu saw it at this time, he would definitely say that this was a steamroller, but for the new army in Xiyuan, this was their secret weapon for mine clearance.

This kind of minesweeper-like device was invented by the craftsmen of the Xiyuan New Army, which was proposed by Cao Cao. Because the spearmen of the New Army in the West Park often suffered casualties in the process of mine clearance.

With the continuous improvement of the production process of the Red Turban Military Arsenal, their production is becoming more and more mature. The number is also getting bigger. This leads to the result that the minefields that say "be careful" become real ones. Although there are still only a limited number of them in the entire district, the problem is that they can take a heavy toll on them. If you bury the ** package underneath, the situation will be very crazy.

The officers and men of the New Army in the West Park saw with their own eyes that the mine-sweeping soldiers were blown away, as if a huge strong man had torn several soldiers apart at once. Pieces of minced meat were splashed everywhere, and even veterans of many wars would not be able to cope with such a situation. Faced with such a situation, they themselves could not proceed. After all, this is not a situation they can handle. Worst of all, the efficiency of mine clearance is extremely low, 500 soldiers, careful mine clearance, his project progress may only be two miles. The army could only advance slowly. Because if they can't move forward in time, and they don't know when the "Be careful" sign will suddenly appear, that kind of sign will cause them great casualties.

Inefficiency, slow progress, coupled with the huge pressure of the soldiers, in the face of all kinds of disadvantages, Cao Cao decided to take some measures to dig out these **, after all, these ** is also a huge threat to the cavalry.

The first to participate were the craftsmen, then a large number of minesweepers, and then Cao Cao was also involved, after all, this thing can greatly affect the overall speed of the army.

Craftsmen provide technology, and minesweepers provide some of the situations they encounter, for example, most of them are trampling, and in response to this feature, they thought of stone grinding. This kind of thing has a lot to do with flour. After hundreds of years of popularity, wheat is not so unpalatable. They began to make flour, and the stone mill was one such tool.

The stone grinder was pushed in front, and the soldiers were far away, although it required a lot of strength, but they could greatly protect themselves, and at the same time, in order to cope with the huge impact of the explosion as much as possible, they discovered the existence of the shock wave, which was a force that they were difficult to fight, and they would install a large number of shields in front to protect themselves. In this way, the destructive power of the explosion is much reduced.

This minesweeper was quickly used in minesweeping work, and the effect was still obvious, and they advanced five miles in a day, which greatly improved their minesweeping operations, but this situation was quickly picked up by the scouts of the Red Turban Army, and then quickly reported to their commanders.

In the course of the truce, the reconnaissance activities of the scouts on both sides became extremely frequent, and the scouts of the officers and soldiers and the scouts of the Red Turban Army engaged in fierce confrontations. In general, the scouts of the officers and soldiers were still slightly superior.

"Newspaper. General, I waited for the front to find the Red Turban scouts, and when I waited for a roundabout outflank, I was discovered by the other side, and they ran away. But our army persecuted it very hard and found this. "One of the scouts reported to Cao Cao, the commander of the military academy. At the same time, a broken telescope was handed in, with only half of the two lenses on it, and the rest of the contents were broken. The official scouts collected as much as possible the things left at the scene, spliced them together, and handed them to Cao Cao.

"This is Ruri." Cao Cao looked at the telescope in his hand in surprise and said.

"Why don't you catch each other?" Cao Cao asked curiously.

"General Reports, we have found out many times and tried to capture the other party, but it seems that the other party can see us from a distance, and every time they can calmly escape. This time, it was our army that laid an ambush in advance, so there was such a thing, otherwise, let them run away again. The scout reported to himself.

"Oh." Cao Cao looked at the tube in his hand suspiciously, he felt that the scouts of the Red Turban Army could react so quickly, it should have a lot to do with this thing, after all, this kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can come up with, these things should be some novelties that the Red Turban Army came up with. It's just that he doesn't know how to use such a thing yet.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't know the principle of the telescope. The production of lenses for the Red Turban Army began to enter a certain scale, because of the continuous addition of jade craftsmen, polishing the lenses for them, it was not very difficult, but the salary was very large, which greatly attracted them to join, they could create one hundred and fifty sets of lenses a month, so that the number of telescopes of the Red Turban Army began to spread to the battalion and company level. Scouts scout with binoculars every time they scout. After the scouts learned some specific information, they will record it, so that they can take advantage of the technical advantages of telescopes and do not have to go deep into the front line of the officers and soldiers to carry out dangerous reconnaissance. Relying on the technical advantages of telescopes, this allowed the Red Turban Army to obtain a great reconnaissance effect. This is also why the scouts of the official army can't catch each other every time. Because

However, in terms of reconnaissance tactics, the Red Turban Army is far inferior to the official army scouts, for example, in terms of experience, the official army scouts will carry out a certain amount of camouflage, such as weeds, or tree branches or something, they will try their best to conceal it, although the effect of such concealment and camouflage is not too good, but it is much better than being found directly lurking around, many times the scouts of the Red Turban Army have been found because of their irregular movements.

Also, the color of the military uniform. The red of the Red Turban Army became the most conspicuous color, and it was true that red was the cheapest color, but it greatly exposed their actions, although the official scouts did not have binoculars, but with the help of their naked eyes, they could also detect the existence of the other party in time, which caused an extremely tragic situation. That is, they are easy to spot.

The officers and soldiers gave full play to their advantages in experience, for example, to carry out reconnaissance in disguise, they repeatedly disguised themselves as merchants to enter the guerrilla zone, and constantly carried out reconnaissance, they did not take sabotage actions, but they greatly learned about some special situations of the Red Turban Army.

For example, authentic. They learned from some villagers that every house has an authentic tunnel. Although the exact location of the tunnel crossing is not yet known. They also don't know that the tunnels are interconnected. What they know is that these tunnels have turned the entire village into a fortress. A large number of hidden weapons will appear, and if the army enters it, the losses will be very large, and the most terrible thing is that it is easy to enter it, but it is impossible to get out. The whole village was turned into something like a labyrinth.

After Huangfu Song got this information, he began to become cautious. Because he was worried about such a situation.

The Red Turbans are also constantly learning, and although they are not caught, it provides them with a big red flag, and if they do not make improvements in this area, they may still be suppressed, and in general, the situation of the Red Turbans is not very good. They lack relevant experience, and experience is not something that can be added all at once. Most of the surrendered officers and soldiers were infantry. There are very few cavalry, as well as scouts, scouts, and horses, these are elite troops.

Inside the command of the 1st Infantry Brigade.

"How did you do that?" Xiao Douzi mentioned a captain's report and stood up anxiously.

"The production of telescopes is very limited, and you even damaged one." Xiao Douzi was very annoyed and said that although he was very small, his military rank was not low.

"Sir, the scouts of the officers and soldiers are very powerful, and they will not sneak behind us at any time. Fearing that we would be caught, we destroyed the telescope and ran away. Fortunately, the other party seemed to be very interested in the telescope and did not attack us, otherwise, the two of us would have confessed there. The captain explained.

"You're embarrassed to say that you've lost a telescope. Did you know that telescopes are only available to officers at the company level and above? Many captains and officers don't have binoculars yet, and if they are lost and learned by the officers and soldiers, what should we do? Xiaodouzi said anxiously.

"You two, write a review of two thousand." Little Beans said.

"Yes, sir." The captain and another sergeant said helplessly.

"But, sir, I have an idea. Perhaps, we can give it a try. The captain felt unwilling, and if he did so, he was really unwilling, after all, they couldn't afford to get a chance to make a contribution.

"Hmm. Let's talk about it. Xiaodouzi said helplessly.

"This, we think, we should learn from the officers and soldiers, the commander didn't teach us to learn war in the war, the reconnaissance skills of the officers and soldiers are much higher than ours, this is not said, if we can capture such a reconnaissance personnel on the other side, I think, our situation, will change a lot." The captain officer said.

"Is this possible?" Little Beans began to think about the feasibility of this problem.

"It should work. Sir, we can see them from afar every time, and if we go quietly, we will be able to capture them. One captain said.

"Hmm. You guys give it a try, but be careful, I'll report this to the chief, and see what the officer's attitude is. Be careful. Little Beans said.
