Next to the crescent well of the "Red Embedded Bamboo City", the soldiers went down to the well one by one. There is an underground passage several kilometers long in the middle of the well, and the exit on the opposite side is also at the waist of a well in the inner city of Geranza.

This afternoon, the men of the engineer battalion have entered the tunnels to conduct surveys, and have strengthened some dangerous areas, and at the same time have used some fire engine hoses to connect some bamboo tubes with small holes in the joints, and the pumps have been sending fresh air into the tunnels since the afternoon to replace the damp mildew there.

Roger was the first to go down the shaft, and there was no sound in it except for the "sizzling" sound of air coming from the air supply pipes installed in the engineer battalion.

As a form of operation, the success of special operations has always been accompanied by a certain degree of chance, and the raid led by Roger was almost successful, but it almost failed because of an accidental factor at the most critical moment.

In the city of Geranza, since the well was no longer sufficient, the soldiers were asked to stand guard in shifts, and arranged for people to keep pumping the water out of the well during the night and putting it in a tank for use tomorrow.

Mercenary soldiers from two local tribes were constantly pumping water from the wells with hand-cranked pumps. For a whole afternoon, when there was almost no rest, not only did the two of them have backaches, but also there was not much water in the well, and all that was pumped out was some muddy soup.

"Hey, brother, let's take a break, after working for so long, no one can stand it, and there is no one on the side, let's take a break and drink two sips to catch our breath."

In addition to some people working in agriculture, there are also many fishermen in the vicinity of Anping Port (Gelanza City), so the people here are always used to singing two cups when they are tired from work.

The two men sat on the edge of the well, stretched out their hands to wipe the sweat from their faces, and peeked at the Dutch people who came and went. They carried long-barreled muskets on their backs and walked leisurely in the barracks. The Dutch envied them by their affluent life, and feared them by their powerful armaments, and the Dutch conquered most of the island's population by virtue of these two things.

Or two native soldiers often sit at the mouth of the well to rest, and one of the native soldiers suddenly said: "Hey, I said big brother, why do I think this well is a little weird."

The other soldier swallowed the wine in his mouth, and Meimei sighed before saying, "What's weird, you're confused!" ”

"Really, why do I think this well is bubbling out?"

"Really? I'll see! Hey, don't say it's a bit weird! You say it'......"

The words of the two native soldiers attracted the attention of the Dutch soldiers on the side......

Roger, who was still quietly moving through the passage, had no idea what was happening at the mouth of the well. More than 200 people in the whole company advanced in the dark in the long passage, and they didn't make a sound, and they deserved to be the elite of the Shenzhou Army.

According to Guo Huaiyi's account, there are two exits at the end of this passage, one is the Dutch built the city of Geranza, which is the semi-middle waist of the well in the inner city.

The other exit, sealed with a thick stone slab that could be opened from above, was the third level of the inner city of Geranza, which was used by the Dutch as a storehouse, filled with grain and ammunition. Although it was a good place to raid, it was just a large bluestone slab on the outside, which could only be opened if you went deep into the warehouse, otherwise it would be difficult to open. As for the safety and secrecy of blasting, this option has been abandoned.

From the dark passageway, looking forward from a distance, there seemed to be some flickering light, picked up the telescope and looked, Roger saw clearly, it was the wellhead under the light of the torch. The thought in his mind was quick: "Has the action been discovered by the Dutch?" Do you want to attack it immediately? ”

The discovery of two native soldiers in the city of Geranza had attracted the attention of the Dutch, and soldiers were now being sent down to the well with torches.

Roger stretched out his hand and slapped the person behind him, signaling that there was a situation in front of him according to the agreed signal, and the whole team stopped advancing.

At the exit, there was the sound of a conversation in Dutch.

"Sir, there's a passage here, and there's nothing in it, only the wind blowing from afar!"

"Fire two shots into the passage and see what happens."

When this passage was built, it was almost a straight line from the "Red Embedded Bamboo City" to here, and the open tunnel was built with two walls of blue bricks, and finally the roof was built with wood, and then covered with the outermost part of the "Sanhe Soil" and covered with a soil layer, which was originally used to support each other with the "Red Embedded Bamboo City", but now it has become a useless chicken rib for the Dutch, and even a serious threat.

"Bang bang ......" was not long apart, and the sound of two short muskets was released from the opposite side.

Roger lay motionless on the ground, his scalp tense, and he felt like every lead egg could pierce his helmet.

The dull "dangdang" sound of buckshot hitting the helmet and the "plop" sound of hitting the armor. Fortunately, they were still quite far away from the place where the guns were placed, about twenty meters, and the completely powerless shot of the short musket could not penetrate the armor of the Shenzhou army, and the loud gunfire echoed in the passage for a long time, completely obscuring the sound made by Roger when they were hit.

However, the taste of the helmet being hit by a bullet was rather unpleasant, and it was impossible to expect the Dutchman's short guns to penetrate the steel helmet at such a distance, but the force of the impact made his head dizzy for several seconds.

"Catch it alive!" Without Roger's orders, the special forces behind him naturally stepped forward to support, and Roger tried to keep his voice as low as possible. The special forces beside him made a low sound of "squeezing" as they advanced.

"Hey, Turner, two more shots in, and we're gone!"

The man at the entrance of the passage answered, "Oh, good sir, here! …… Yes! ”

At this moment, Turner's heart was full of fear, and in this dark passage, like a gnat flying from the darkness, it bitten him in the stomach. A wave of extreme weariness struck him almost instantly, and he could no longer hold the torch in his hand

There was a "clang", and the torch fell to the ground.

At the moment when he was unconscious, a group of devils seemed to have been thrown out of the passage of the black hole. Two ghosts wrapped in total black pounced and grabbed his neck.

"Turner...... Turner, what's wrong with you......" The "chief" of the wellhead was obviously in a hurry, and asked loudly on the well.

At this time, the two people who controlled him, one extinguished the torch, but the other took out a small bottle, and after opening the lid, an extremely pungent smell instantly drove the drowsiness out of his mind. Almost at the same time, the person who put out the torch pulled out something.

By the last glimmer of light from the torch, Turner recognized it as a grotesque-looking knife. Then I felt the very uncomfortable coldness and sharpness of the blade on my neck.
