Remember [Literature Bus] in one second, and read it for free without pop-ups!
It was only at dusk that the tents of the Yuan army had been completely lined up, and they were all white spired tents like yurts for more than ten miles.
The Song soldiers at the head of the city couldn't help but mutter, not knowing what the Yuan army wanted to do. In the past, it was rare to camp directly outside the city, because this was tantamount to giving the other party a chance to attack the camp in vain.
Could it be that the thief is so arrogant? Think we wouldn't dare to attack the camp?
The Song army at the head of the city was indignant.
However, more than two months have passed like this, and there is no plan for the commander in chief to lead the army to attack Yuanying. And Yuanying has never moved.
The Song army was inside the city, the Yuan army was outside the city, and the two armies confronted each other in an extremely strange atmosphere, murderous, but neither side took the lead in attacking.
If you don't know, I'm afraid that Mo will think that the two armies are originally the same branch.
Yue Peng was quite anxious, but he asked Zhao Dongting more than ten times to lead troops to attack the Yuan army camp, but Zhao Dongting refused.
These days, Zhao Dongting would go to the city every day to observe the Yuan army, and did not find anything abnormal. And in this case, there is no anomaly, and that is the biggest anomaly.
There are so many soldiers in the Yuan army, and they are encamped and do not attack the city, how much pressure does logistics supply alone have?
Ali Hague: This is obviously taking the root of life and wasting time.
Zhao Dongting saw the logistics troops of the Yuan army pouring into the Yuan army camp several times, even with the accumulation of material and financial resources of the Yuan army on the South Guangxi Road, it was impossible to hold on for too long. Even if they were rushing to grab grain, with the current situation in Guangxi, all the grain was robbed by them, and they could not afford to support so many of them.
But Ali Hague is quietly consuming it like this, then, there is only one possibility, that is, he is brewing a big killer move.
It's just that Zhao Dongting and the others don't know what big killing moves he is brewing, and the Yuan army is very quiet day and night. It's just a hunch that when that big killing move appears, Pingnan County may be in danger of overturning.
It's a pity that both sides are on standby, and it is not easy to send a spy to investigate the situation of the Yuan army.
For more than two months, spies on both sides have been dead for an unknown number of waves.
Zhao Dongting looked a little worried, and always felt that a huge crisis was looming towards Pingnan County.
On the side of the Yuan army, Ali Hague was also very anxious.
His logistical supply is indeed very difficult, if the tunnel is not dug through, his soldiers are afraid that they will have to be reduced to digging wild vegetables to eat.
But in this era, it is not so easy to dig a tunnel with more than two miles of roads.
The moat outside Pingnan County is destined to dig their tunnels extremely deep, otherwise, they won't even be able to cross the moat. And if the tunnels can't go straight to the city, then it doesn't make much sense. Only by being able to get close to Song Jun in an instant can Song Jun throw a mouse bogey weapon and dare not use a big killing weapon like a "porcelain jar".
Tunnels that go five or six meters deep into the surface often encounter rock formations and need to be diverted. Changing back and forth, sometimes going in the wrong direction.
Ali Hague wanted to send people to the city to explore the leylines, but he always went and never returned.
In order to prevent the Song army from discovering the clues, they only dared to dig holes during the day and transport soil at night.
In this way, many factors add up, and the progress of the Yuan army's excavation of tunnels is so slow that it makes people's hearts furious.
However, in order to achieve the final victory, this is the most convenient way, and the more you can reduce the loss. Therefore, Ali Hague gritted his teeth, and after killing several logistics officials, he forced the logistics to deliver the military grain according to the number.
Fortunately, by now, the tunnels seem to be able to get to the city quickly.
Ali Hague planned to bloom everywhere, and ordered the soldiers to dig the tunnels into the underground of the city, and then spread like spider webs, and when the time came, countless armies suddenly poured out of the tunnels, and they would definitely be able to take Pingnan County in one fell swoop.
On this day, Zhao Dongting led the generals to observe the Yuan army camp at the head of the city.
He frowned, thinking in his heart, "What the hell is Ali Hague trying to do?" ”
This question has been haunting him for many days, but he has been discussing it with the generals every day, but nothing has come of it.
The Yuan army was still two miles away from Pingnan County, and there was a moat outside the city, so no one would have thought that the Yuan army would be willing to spend a lot of money to dig tunnels.
After looking at it all morning, Zhao Dongting still didn't have a clue, shook his head, left the city again, and went to the mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he bumped into Zhao Hu running back with excitement, still carrying a rabbit in his hand.
These days, there are a lot of people around Zhao Dongting all the time, the killer Lige has not appeared, he and Zhao Da are really idle, and they often disguise themselves as ordinary people to go to the mountains in the west outside the city to get some game, and Zhao Dongting is too lazy to care about them. The Yuan army was stationed outside the east gate of the city, and there was no danger to the west.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Zhao Dongting, Zhao Hu grinned, "I'm lucky today, I got a rabbit from the hole, and I can give you a tooth sacrifice at night." ”
Zhao Dongting was stunned when he heard this, as if a spiritual light flashed from his head, "What did you say?" ”
Zhao Hu blinked his eyes, "Get a rabbit, I can give you a tooth sacrifice at night?" ”
"Where did you get the rabbit?" Zhao Dongting hurriedly said again.
Zhao Hu was a little confused, "Outside the city...... Mountain, mountain! As soon as the rabbit came out of the hole, it was trapped by my big brother and me. ”
In the hole!
"!"
Zhao Dongting scolded indignantly in his heart, and turned his head to Wen Tianxiang with excitement on his face: "I may know what the Yuan army is doing!" ”
Wen Tianxiang and the others didn't think of Zhao Hu's words to the top of the cave, and they all looked at Zhao Dongting in puzzlement.
Zhao Dongting said: "They may be digging tunnels and want to go straight to the city!" ”
Hey, Wen Tianxiang's faces all changed.
Zhao Hu pinched the rabbit and was at a loss.
Wen Tianxiang and Su Quandang are all smart people, but when they heard Zhao Dongting's words, they felt a chill rush from their feet to their backs.
Most of the troops in the city were stationed at the city wall, and if the Yuan army dug tunnels to the city, they would inevitably be caught off guard.
Coming back to his senses, Yue Peng stomped his feet and scolded: "These sinister villains! ”
Yue Peng said: "The last general will lead people to inspect the city. With that, he turned and ran.
Zhao Dongting looked at Donghe with a slightly calm face, "Lord Donghe, order the beggar army to form forty teams with a hundred people, and constantly search in the city, if you see a Yuan army coming out of the ground, kill it immediately." ”
"Order!"
When he received the order in the East River, he was going to leave.
"Wait!"
Zhao Dongting thought about it and said: "Go and prepare enough firewood, wet it with water a little, pour it with boiling oil, and when the Yuan army digs through the tunnel, let's use fireworks to smoke the Yuan rabbit!" ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but have a slight smile in his eyes. Digging tunnels, the Yuan army is here to find death!
Dongheli nodded with a smile and left in a hurry.
Zhao Dongting looked at Zhao Hu again, "Zhao Hu, go and order the Supervision Division to forge iron bars several meters long and tie them into squares, so that they can be used to block the tunnel when the time comes." ”
"Yes!"
Zhao Hu bowed down and lifted the rabbit in his hand again, "Then this rabbit ......"
Zhao Dongting said with a smile: "This rabbit has a great merit, and I will use him to beat his teeth tonight." ”
Zhao Hu grinned, handed the rabbit to the soldier at the gate of the mansion, and hurriedly ran towards the supervision department.
Wen Tianxiang's face was no longer so solemn, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is going to use the method of dealing with rabbits to deal with the Yuan army......"
Zhao Dongting said: "How can you not want the rabbit sent to the door?" ”
Everyone will be happy.
Although it is not certain that the Yuan army is digging tunnels at the moment, this possibility is already extremely high.
They were in the city and were clearly in the driver's seat. Thinking that the Yuan army worked hard to dig through the tunnels, but in the end they were smoked to the ground, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but be excited.
For several days in a row, firewood and hay continued to gather into the barracks from all over the city.
In this era, cooking depends on firewood, and every household has a lot of firewood, and it is really easy to get it.
The supervising department is also processing and making iron bars.
Later, Zhao Dongting personally drew pictures for people to send over, and added spikes to these iron bars.
It was a rare day when it was a little gloomy, and it was no longer so hot.
The Yuan army finally moved.
The horn sounded suddenly in the east of the city, and outside the Yuan army camp, countless soldiers gathered, flags fluttered, and all kinds of siege equipment were pushed out of the camp.
The Yuan army is about to attack the city.
