The gale on the grassland was whistling, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and Tang Wen stood in place with a cautious expression, looking for them everywhere.

The swarm of bugs just now was close in front of them, and their guards had already surrounded them, and when they were about to attack, they had just caught up, but those bugs suddenly disappeared in front of them, what happened, or were those bugs preparing to sneak attack? Or did the bugs want to avoid the battle and hide?

He didn't know, but he knew that these insects were huge in number and had to be exterminated, and they were enough insect swarms to threaten the safety of Beicheng, and they should not be underestimated.

Then he immediately ordered: "All of them, stand up and defend, and be ready to fight at any time, since these insects can force the beasts to retreat, they must be very dangerous and vicious, everyone be careful of the ground nearby, to prevent them from sneaking attack!"

The crowd shouted in unison, "Yes!"

Tang Wen turned over and dismounted, squatted on the ground and looked at it, grabbed the soil and looked at it, but he couldn't see anything special, this underground is the most difficult to get, there is nothing you can do to take the things underground, after all, people stand on the ground, and insects are hidden underground, even if they escape, they don't know.

These insects are flattened and burrow into the soil with great ease and speed, and have disappeared before they have time to kill them, but it is too difficult for a person to dig a hole while standing and walking.

Tang Wen observed for a long time, his heart was very vigilant, and he thought for a while: "Come on, a hundred engineers will shovel the ground, give me three feet to find them, and the warlock is by the side ready to protect at any time." ”

At the moment of the order, a hundred engineers with shovels walked to the area where the insects had just entered, and began to dig up the soil for a while, with capable movements and muscles all over their bodies, obviously strong men who have been exposed to this kind of work all year round.

The warlocks were immediately in place, each with a torch in one hand and the other palm at the torch, with a posture ready to attack with magic at any time, with a serious expression, and in their eyes, at the critical moment, the engineer would be killed together.

Every time they shovel down, they are extremely careful, ready to retreat at any time, the sword has no eyes After all, they still have the strength to dodge, but water and fire are ruthless, once they stick to it, it is life and death.

There is no way, the military order is in front, it has to be done, the people of the army always have to face danger at all times, and then shovel after shovel, the pit began to get bigger, but nothing was found.

Tang Wen and the entire army were nervously watching the ground around them, preventing the sudden attack of the insect swarm at any time, and often went to see the location of the sappers, for fear that the other side would also appear, the whole army was a little worried, but no one squeaked, quietly, the quieter, the more deeply rooted the sound of shoveling the ground, the quieter, the more suspicious Tang Wen was in his heart, could it be that those insects had gone into the ground very deep?

Tang Wen is also helpless, this kind of bug, has to be killed, once retreat at this time, it is to let these bugs continue to hover around the north city, the north city wall is extremely tall, but the monsters from the ground are too dangerous, the huge north city wall, under the foundation, there is no danger to defend.

If one day at midnight, while the people were sleeping, the insect swarm quietly appeared in the city, began to enter the house, and gnawed on everything he saw alive, it would be the greatest disaster when he was not organized into an army, and he had to pay attention to it.

He cursed in his mouth: "Damn, give me a twelve-point spirit, who dares to slack off on military law, I am doing this for your own good, you might as well think about it, in the middle of the night, these insects that can burrow into the ground suddenly appear in the city, attack all living people, eat all livestock, how should we deal with it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an exclamation suddenly rang out.

For a while, everyone in the army looked at each other, just now they didn't expect it to be so deep, but after Tang Wen finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the army's heart and will had stabilized, and their morale roared like a rainbow: "Kill them! Kill!"

Tang Wen nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, send sentry horses to look around, if we don't kill all these insects today, we will definitely not return to the city, we are the border army guarding Daqi, and we are the protectors of the people, we must eliminate these terrifying insects!"

"Yes!"

The order was conveyed, the deputy general ran back and forth in the army, more than 50 sentry riders hurriedly went out of the ranks, the sentry riders were even more uneasy in their hearts, there was a kind of courage to see death as home, they picked up the Zhuangxing wine, drank a fall, and with a bang, the wine bowl was shattered instantly, and it was originally out to kill insects, but it instantly became the height of swearing to defend the city and the people to the death.

They shouted in unison: "If I die, please take care of my wife, children and mother!"

Tang Wen was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, "What did I just say?"

Then he nodded, no matter what, he had to agree first.

The sentry riders did not answer, and ran out in all directions, to carry out the seemingly dangerous task, no one knew that with the death of the dozen or so giant insects in front of them, these insects had already run away, and the insect demons had been hit hard, and these insects were responsible for defense.

Tang Wen shook his head, understanding why the morale of his troops was so high today, and didn't think about it anymore, after all, safety depends on everyone's protection, as long as he knows how dangerous the insects are.

Seeing that the engineer had been digging for a long time, although the pit had become bigger, he had not found anything, and he was a little anxious, so he immediately took the lead, threw off his arms and picked up the shovel and ran to the side of the strong man, shoveling down.

When the guards saw that the general had acted like this, their blood immediately boiled.

"It's out!"

"Come on, let's dig together!"

"Okay, those who are afraid of death should not be soldiers!"

All the people sprang into action, and they all rushed to the big pit, and they were all ready to dig it.

Everyone became an engineer, some with knives, some with swords, and the accompanying cooks also joined the army of digging with their own spoons, digging spoon by spoon.

Tang Wen looked back at everyone with satisfaction, and thought: "It's fast enough to dig like this, well, there hasn't been any interaction between Su Shen and Beicheng here recently, it's better to dig traps in other places except for the official road, in case the ghost clan comes to attack, wouldn't it be fun?"

After thinking about it in my heart, I suddenly laughed, thinking that thousands of troops and horses were coming, and suddenly I was deflated on this grassland, even if there were no casualties, they didn't dare to underestimate me Daqi, knowing that we have been guarding against the direction of prudence, it should be beneficial and harmless, and I am really a talent!

The guards next to him looked at General Tang Wen laughing in place, and were a little puzzled, but he was a general, and he was just a guard, so it was not easy to remind, Tang Wen thought about it for a long time, and even thought of many possibilities.

He began to gesture to the deputy general next to him and said, "Here...... Yes, there's a lot of digging for me, digging according to the size of the trap, maybe there's a bug over there!"

The deputy general ordered all the guards who were still defending to join the digging army.

Originally, the mighty army came here to exterminate the insects, but now that the insects have run away, they have collectively begun to become engineering soldiers, hoping to find them and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"Big guy work hard!"

Tang Wen glanced at it with satisfaction, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, usually if you build a military camp or something, you need to pay silver, now it's okay, everyone has the same hatred, and they can't wait to dig out all the insects immediately, and they don't need to pay at all, they can dig out all kinds of army-level traps.

Haha laughed, thinking to himself, everyone has been busy for a long time, and the money saved when the time comes, it is good to go back to a banquet, save expenses, and make everyone happy.

Where did the guards think of so much, they were just working hard so that the insects would not destroy their homes, and they had to work purely on a voluntary basis.

There were too many people, and after only one day of digging the trap, the surrounding area was full of potholes, except for the avenue that walked with the people.

The insects didn't see them at all, if it weren't for too many guards who saw those insects, they all had the urge to scold Tang Wen now, but there was no problem with the general's order, and there were indeed too many potholes in the pit dug out, I wanted to look for it according to the pit, but unfortunately there were too many people who acted, and almost all the holes dug by the insects were destroyed, and in desperation, Tang Wen had to order to take a break in this land for the time being.
