Chapter 411 The foundation of the flat city
To tell the truth, after hearing the words of Wu Haoren, the leader of the Taiyin Sect, Han Kaiyuan was completely shocked! Although he had some guesses, what Wu Haoren told him was far beyond his imagination. Han Kaiyuan couldn't help but ask himself in his heart: "What kind of organization is this? How can it have such great influence!"
"Marshal Han, we must attack Xiapingcheng, it is not that we cannot carry out the whole plan without us, nor can we take Linhanzhou without us, but we must accumulate military merits in the whole process! If we want to get more in the end, we must make great contributions in the previous process, you understand?" Wu Haoren finally told the truth.
Having said that, how could Han Kaiyuan not understand. At this time, he also strengthened his determination to take Pingcheng, before the Han Jiajun lost so much, he was very reluctant in his heart, but now, he felt that as long as he could take Pingcheng, and then cooperate with the organization where the Taiyin Sect was located to carry out the later plan smoothly, even if the Han Jiajun was all wiped out, he would no longer feel distressed.
As long as the Han family can grasp this opportunity, it will be possible to build a more powerful private army in the future, and at that time, it will not be impossible for the Han family to be promoted to the super family on the Dragon Gate list. This is completely a big gamble, but this big gamble was manipulated, the chance of winning is too big, and the risk is almost none. As long as they dare to bet, the Han family will carp and jump into the dragon gate, break the existing pattern, and step onto a bigger stage.
Han Kaiyuan was not an indecisive person, so he quickly recognized the situation and decided to follow the path of the Taiyin Sect to the dark.
"Sect Leader Wu, please rest assured, before dark, Wu will definitely take Pingcheng!" Han Kaiyuan assured.
On top of Pingcheng, Ye Heng and Snow Wolf stood arm in arm, looking at the still fierce battle, Ye Heng said firmly: "Wolf Nier, don't worry, as long as I still have a breath of air, Pingcheng will never break!
"Wolf King, I will always fight with you, if you die here, I will accompany you on the Huangquan Road. In this life, we have no chance to stay together, and we will marry again in the next life!" said the snow wolf faintly.
"Don't have to live, just seize the day!Don't worry, we won't die, I still have to take you to see our parents, how can you die here!" Ye Heng was full of fighting spirit in his heart and said heroically.
"Yes, we won't die, damn the Taiyin Sect and the rebels!" Gao Lang leaned over and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you. ”
The two smiled at Gao Lang, and Ye Heng said, "General Gao, is something wrong?"
"Just now the soldiers came to report, and they heard the sound of digging in the tunnel, it seems that the rebels are not giving up and want to dig through the tunnel to attack us. Gao Lang said.
"Since you came to us, do you already have a countermeasure?" Ye Heng asked.
Gao Lang laughed and said, "City Lord Yingming, come, let's talk as we walk." ”
Gao Lang led the way in front of him, and said as he walked: "The city wall of our Pingcheng was rebuilt by General Peng twelve years ago, it's not me who brags, people who don't know the architectural drawings don't want to attack us!"
"Oh, what's going on?" asked Snow Wolf curiously.
"At the beginning, Pingcheng was just a small town, there were no city walls at all, and there were many bandits in the west, and it was often bullied by bandits. After General Peng took office, while forming an army to fight against bandits, he led the whole city to build a city wall. Even so, you see that the rebels have been attacking us for so long, even if they use siege trucks to knock open the hole, but the city wall has fallen? The city wall cannot fall, and the foundation will have no problem! Because we spent a lot of money on laying the foundation, otherwise, how dare I dig such a big pit outside the city to trap the rebels in Chenshuizhou, and if the rebels do not reach the hole, the city wall will collapse first. Gao Lang said proudly.
"According to what you say, the foundation of Pingcheng is very unusual?" Ye Heng asked.
"That's right, I'll take you to see it. City Lord, do you think that we can dig a tunnel from the city to the outside of the city, and if the foundation is solid, we are bragging?" said Gao Lang with a smile.
"No, no, I just can't figure out how you guys do it. Ye Heng said honestly.
Gao Lang took out a map from his bosom and said, "City Lord, this is the city defense map of Pingcheng, you can understand it by looking at it." Since our city wall was built, a large number of civilians around have moved to the city, General Peng led everyone to open up farmland, build water conservancy, and develop the economy, Pingcheng slowly grew stronger, and then no bandits dared to come here to do anything wrong, and Pingcheng gradually became the second largest city in Gupingzhou. ”
Hearing Gao Lang's introduction, Ye Heng knew Pingcheng's past. After taking the map and looking at it, I finally understood why Gao Lang was so confident, because the place where they dug the tunnel was deliberately left when building the foundation, there are five such openings, but two are closed, and only three are still in use.
"I understand, you're saying that except for these three rebels who can come in, you can't dig through other places, right?" Ye Heng suddenly realized.
"Yes, that's why I came to you and my wife. Once the rebels found the entrance and exit to the foundation of Heijo, they would surely sneak into the city from there. However, it is not conducive to the large-scale operation of the army, I want to ask the two to guard the entrance of the cave, with the cultivation of the two of them, how many rebels will not die? I have arranged for dozens of archers to cooperate with you, and kill them all without returning, city lord, what do you think?" Gao Langhe laid out his plan.
"I see, the task of guarding the tunnels is entrusted to us. Ye Heng agreed.
"Actually, I don't have to defend it, there is another mystery in the cave, but I'm afraid that some of the rebels can enter the city through the cave, such a person must be a master that I can't deal with, so I have to ask the city lord and his wife to go out, otherwise, I can only close the tunnel, in that case, we can't go out, until the best way, the tunnel is better not to be sealed. Gao Lang explained. Hanlian literature
The three of them had already entered the tunnel as they spoke, and after walking for a distance, they saw more than 30 archers squatting or standing in front of them, and they were drawing their bows and aiming at the tunnel.
"Listen, city lord, the rebels are about to dig here. Gao Lang whispered.
Sure enough, heavy digging was heard from the left side of the tunnel, and there was a faint sound of talking.
"City Lord, come with me. Gao Lang led the way, and after tinkering on the side of the tunnel for a while, there was a sudden "boom" sound, and after the sound, a hole appeared on the side of the tunnel.
Gao Lang was the first to enter it, and Ye Heng and Snow Wolf followed. As soon as I entered the cave, it was dark and whirring, and I couldn't see my five fingers, and after only a few steps, a string of firelight suddenly lit up, and the situation in the cave was clear at a glance. The hole is not very deep, and it only takes a dozen zhang to come to the end.
"City Lord, this is the foundation of the city wall, what do you think?" Gao Lang said proudly as he stretched out his hand to hold on to the stone wall in front of him.
Ye Heng stepped forward to take a look and praised: "It's really strong! Although I don't know how you built it, I know that it is really not easy to destroy such a solid foundation!"
Gao Lang smiled: "The city lord has a good eye, come, look at this side again." ”
Gao Lang Xianbao generally took Ye Heng to the other side, pointed to a disc and said: "City Lord, this mechanism can control the tunnel entrance, as long as you turn it, a boulder will fall and block the tunnel." It's just that the weight of the boulder is too large, and once it falls, it is too difficult to pull it up. Therefore, it is best not to block the tunnel as a last resort. ”
Ye Heng nodded to show that he understood, and Gao Lang told Ye Heng how to operate these organs, and then retreated with the two of them. After the wall was restored to its original state, the three of them walked forward a dozen steps, and Gao Lang said in a low voice: "City Lord, this is the outermost part of the foundation, and the rebels will soon dig it from here." ”
"Then leave it to us here, you go to the city to command. Ye Heng said.
Gao Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are still killer features that I haven't shown to you!"
As he spoke, Gao Lang lifted the ground outside the foundation, yes, he lifted a large piece without warning, and suddenly revealed the black passage below, and there was immediately a foul smell from inside, as well as the sound of running water.
"What is this?" Ye Heng asked with a frown.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is the sewage pipe of our Pingcheng, as long as we remove the stone slabs laid on it and cover it up with branches and thatch, this will become a natural trap, as long as we fall in, if we are lucky, we can go out of the city along the sewage channel, if we are unlucky, we can get lost in the maze of sewage channels, and we will die of disgust if we don't die!" Gao Lang smiled evilly, "Even if they can't die, when they go around the outside of the city, it will be a few days later." If you want to sneak up on us, you can't have any doors!"
"General Gao, aren't you afraid that they will enter the city along the sewer?" asked Snow Wolf involuntarily.
"These were all designed by General Peng when he asked his friends, I heard that it was a master of the world, what we can think of, people have already considered it. Let's put it this way, unless they can turn into rats and sneak into the city through small holes in the foundation, they will have to wait for death in the sewer. Gao Lang replied confidently.
"In that case, let's arrange it immediately, the rebels are about to dig in. Ye Heng reminded.
Gao Lang beckoned to the archers, and more than thirty people gathered their bows and worked together, removing the stone slabs in the tunnel, placing them on top of them with branches and weeds, and finally sprinkling floating soil to camouflage.
"City Lord, this place will be handed over to you, if you really can't hold it, put down the boulder, it's a big deal that we will seal this tunnel out of the city. Gao Lang finally explained to Ye Heng.
"General Gao, please rest assured, with my husband and wife here, I will never let any enemy enter the city. Ye Heng said solemnly.
Gao Lang said no more, turned and walked out.
"You must protect the city lord and his wife, and if the matter is urgent, you know what to do, right?" Gao Lang said to the archers as he left in a low voice.
"General Gao, please rest assured, if there is danger, even if our thirty or so lives are lost here, we will never let the city lord and his wife have an accident. The leader of the archers responded.
"Very well! Remember, if the lord and lady can't resist it, you should immediately go to the top, even if you take human lives, you must also keep the enemy out, and immediately close the tunnel!" Gao Lang admonished.
"General Gao, rest assured, from the moment we entered the tunnel, we didn't think about going back alive. We are all men born and raised in Pingcheng, we are the first civilians to join the Pingcheng Army, and our families are all in the city, even if we die with the enemy, we will not retreat, this is the last thing we can do for the children in our family!" said the leader of the archers calmly.
