Chapter 786: Tunnel

"The second sister and the third sister are going to Montenegro to recuperate. Hearing Zhang Yan's report, Zhang Jiao, who had been silent for a while, nodded, "That's fine, the strength of the official army is much higher than ours at the moment, and it is indeed the best choice to attack after a while." However, in order to prepare more grain and grass, it is still necessary to capture Guangzong. ”

Zhang Jiao, who was standing on a small hill, looked at Lu Zhi, who brought Song Jie and the others into Guangzong, "Pass the order, tonight we will attack Guangzong City at night and stock up on grain and grass for going to Montenegro." I don't believe that Lu Zhi, that old woman, will still keep Guangzong City heavily guarded tonight. Tonight, the walls of Gwangjong are no longer meaningful. ”

A healthy woman with a pair of hammers in her hand looked at Zhang Jiao who came over and said, "Don't worry, general, the brothers' tunnels are dug very deep, and there is a response from the city, Lu Zhi would not have thought that we would attack the city in this way." ”

Zhang Jiao shook his head and looked at the dark tunnel in front of him with a worried expression, "I'm not worried about this, the tunnel is dug so deeply, won't the soldiers really be suffocated to death because they can't breathe?"

A worker wiping the sweat from his head patted his chest proudly, "General, you can rest assured." We are miners, digging tunnels is our old business, as long as we find some locations on the way to build shafts according to the length of the tunnel, the tunnel will not suffocate people. I've been designing the mine for many years, and no one has been flooded in it. ”

"That's good. Zhang Jiao, who looked at Guangzong, frowned, "I don't know how the second and third sisters are doing now, I hope they are okay now." ”

Looking at Zhang Jiao's sad appearance, the healthy woman holding a double hammer comforted Zhang Jiao, "General, don't worry about the second general and the third general." There are so many generals around them, as well as Liao Hua, even if they can't defeat the Han army and escape, there is no problem. ”

"yes, they must be fine now. Zhang Jiao, who took a deep breath, pressed his thoughts for his sister deep in his heart, "The sun is about to set, and we are now starting to attack the city." The Yellow Turban Soldier, who had been waiting for a long time, followed the ladder of the tunnel towards the dark depths of the tunnel.

Zhang Jiao also followed the ladder into the tunnel, and Zhang Jiao, who stepped on the ground, began to look around curiously, "It turns out that it feels dark from above, because this ladder is here." ”

"It's also a form of defense. Lao Zhang was holding a lantern in his hand, "No one will want to come down to a deep hole that looks dark, not to mention that we use dye to make the color of the wooden ladder the same as the surrounding soil." General, please follow me, there is a ladder to go down here. ”

Zhang Jiao followed Lao Zhang past a group of soldiers with spears in their hands, "These soldiers are responsible for guarding the entrance to this tunnel, if the enemy discovers here, these soldiers can ensure that no enemy can go down here alive." I also designed waterways and other exits, so there is enough security here. ”

Lao Zhang walked to the downward ladder, hung the lantern on the stone protruding from the side of the tunnel, made a gesture of please, and his voice was full of pride, "This is the real main tunnel, you will be surprised when you see it." ”

Zhang Jiao, who followed the ladder to the main tunnel, looked at the tunnel where the ground was like day under the light of the torch, and the small river that meandered on the left side of the tunnel, and was shocked: "There is a river underground?"

Lao Zhang nodded, "Of course there is, and this tunnel was originally a cave." We've only expanded on the cavern, and the underground river is pretty narrow. I once came across a very wide underground river, and I could even farm by the river. ”

"Lao Zhang, let's talk about this matter later, the most important thing at the moment is to capture Guangzong. After looking around, Zhang Jiao interrupted Lao Zhang's words, "Lao Zhang, where is our exit in the city, can we really capture Guangzong in the first place?"

"Look, General. Lao Zhang picked up a stone on the ground, drew a simple map on the ground, and marked the exit of the city gate and the tunnel on it, "We have set up four exits in the city, each exit is near the gate of the city wall, and after controlling the four city gates, the entire Guangzong City is ours." ”

"Lao Zhang, tell me which enemy general near the city gate is more powerful? I'm going to meet them. The healthy woman who followed Zhang Jiao asked Lao Zhang, looking full of war, "By the way, the army that just entered the city today is stationed there, since it can be regarded as a vanguard by Huangfu Song, the strength of these two generals must not be weak." ”

Lao Zhang drew another circle on the simple map: "They are stationed in the city defense army camp near the south gate, and it is said that Lu Zhi will also go to the city defense army camp tonight." This is less than 200 steps from the tunnels south of our city. ”

"Then I'll go here. I'd like to see what the strength of these two pioneers is. The healthy woman then took the double hammer and headed for the tunnel exit in the south of the city.

"Lao Zhang, where is the official warehouse in the city? Our night raid this time is still mainly to obtain food and grass. ”

Lao Zhang smoothed out the simple map on the ground with his hand and redrew it, "This is the map of the north of the city, the city gate, and the tunnel exit." The southernmost is the Castle Lord's Mansion. On the northwest side of the castle lord's mansion there is the official warehouse of Guangzong. The two granaries that can store 100,000 stone of grain have eighty percent of the reserves. On the northeast side of the city lord's mansion is a military warehouse, with 200,000 stone grains a lot. ”

Zhang Liang immediately made a decision: "Let's go and rob the military warehouse, these 200,000 stone grain is enough for us to eat for a long time." The grain of the official warehouse is still reserved for the people of Guangzong. ”

Lao Zhang sighed at this time and said, "Speaking of which, Lu Zhi is really a good person, if it weren't for her sword forcing the city lord to open a warehouse and release grain, I don't know how many people would die in this territory of Guangzong." ”

"Lao Zhang, Lu Zhi's old woman is not at ease at all. Zhang Jiao did not agree with Lao Zhang's point of view at all: "If it weren't for the Yellow Turban Army, which was formed by those of us who were forced to live, they would not have opened a warehouse to release grain, so that those poor people who couldn't eat could eat a full meal, and she did it to prevent more people from joining the Yellow Turban." ”

"After we capture Guangzong and capture Lu Zhi's old woman, I will definitely let everyone see her true colors. Zhang Jiao, who snorted coldly, then walked to the tunnel exit in the north of the city.

As the night deepened, the starry light in the city of Gwangjong gradually dimmed, and the whole city fell into a deep sleep, leaving only the city patrolling around and shouting from time to time, "The sky is dry, be careful of the candles." "The trumpet's groomers are still making sounds.

In the dead of night, the four mansions in the city opened their doors, and one by one the elite Yellow Turbans in full armor took to the deserted streets.
