Chapter 154: Hidden Merit and Fame
Long before the bandit camp began to be restless, Lin Sen had already retreated, mainly because he was worried about the night attack of the gang against Tulou, so he sneaked out again with some anxiety.
It's just that he had just left the confines of the bandit camp, and after getting up and running a few steps, he had to quickly hide his figure, because he saw a group of guys gathering sneakily, and he didn't know what they were doing.
This place is not very far from the tulou, probably because the attack on the tulou has begun, and there is a cover of night, so the farmers have no time to take care of these guys who are a little farther away, and they have to save arrows, and if they are not sure, they will naturally shoot less arrows.
Lin Sen slowly sneaked to these guys, and then he understood what they were doing. Some of the guys were defending in front with large planks and improvised shields, while others in the back stripped off their crotch cloths and kept running below the ground, and after a while they were gone. Then there were guys who were about as cool as them, carrying pots of dirt and walking out.
For a long time, these guys were digging tunnels, looking at the direction, there was no doubt that they were going towards the Tulou side.
I didn't expect that these bandits had such sinister intentions while attacking Tulou, and they were no longer as stupid and cute as before.
Lin Sen used his hearing and eyesight to the extreme, and he could basically determine that these guys had dug a short distance, and even crossed the stream, not too far from the moat of the tulou.
It is unlikely that the water in the creek will seep down and drown these bandits who have become Tufuzi, because this section of the creek has obviously been cut off, and there is no water in the moat, and there is no way to provide an extra layer of support for the tulou.
At this moment, Lin Sen couldn't help but be anxious, the enemy has really become smarter, this multi-pronged approach, really let them do it, there will really be danger over there in the tulou, it seems that there is a way to stir up the thoughts of these people.
Although there are measures to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels on the Tulou side, even if Lin Sen can't think of this, Xi Weizhong, who has been in battle for a long time, can also think of it.
In fact, Lin Sen at the beginning of the construction of the building, has already considered this problem, the entire tulou is all made of triple soil to tamp the foundation, including the open space in the middle of the tulou, and then paved with stone slabs, it can be said that the solidity of the ground is already the peak of this era. I don't dare to say that the enemy will not be able to dig it, but it is more difficult to dig up the thick layer of triple soil.
In addition, many ground listening devices were also installed in the tulou, and Li Mu, as the person with the most outstanding hearing in the entire Zhuangzi, simply lived in one of the urns, keeping an eye on the enemy's possible digging movements.
However, Lin Sen didn't dare to bet on what if, what if this really made the enemy dig a tunnel? There are more than 200 households in the entire tulou, and even their wives and children are likely to be unlucky, which is hundreds of lives.
Even if the inside of the tulou is due to the special structure, and then the terrain inside the stairs is used, there is a certain defensive power, but compared to the strong defense of the tulou outside, the poor defense inside is basically negligible, once the enemy is allowed to raid in, it will inevitably be a tragic battle.
No matter how many enemies died, Lin Sen did not feel heartache at all, but even if there was one casualty among the villagers under his command, his conscience would inevitably be condemned. Therefore, it is necessary to strangle the enemy's vicious plans.
After carefully looking around the gang, Lin Sen had a plan.
With the help of the cover of the grass and trees, Lin Sen lurked next to the big tree closest to the entrance of the tunnel, and then used the energy of the system with all his strength, and began to manipulate the roots of the big tree, growing and extending in the direction of the tunnel frantically.
He also dug a tunnel in the earthen building, relying on the power of the plant's growth, at this time, he naturally did the opposite, and also relied on the power of the plant to destroy the tunnel.
Lin Sen had paid attention to the activities of this group of people before, and picked a time when the most thieves stayed under the ground, and Lin Sen controlled the roots of the big tree and launched it thoroughly.
Under the agitation of the tree roots, the tunnel of more than ten meters near the entrance collapsed suddenly, and then caused a series of reactions, and then collapsed for a long time behind the tunnel, just look at the ravines that continue to extend forward.
It seems that these bandits are not very professional in digging tunnels, and the things that fix the support are obviously less. And these people would definitely not think that Lin Sen was the ghost who did it, and they could only blame it on the unlucky bandits who dug the tunnels.
"I said a lot of wood earlier, but now it's good, and it's really collapsed." One of the thieves said with some schadenfreude, obviously not in the same group as the makeshift earthdoers who entered the tunnel.
But there are also bandits who can't help but start wiping their tears. It's just that the distance of the collapse is too long, and the entrance basically can't be expected to be opened.
"Don't talk too much, let's hurry up and save people, and see how many we can dig up." The other, presumably the little boss, stopped the brawl that was about to start between the gangs, and ordered his men to scatter along the long section of the collapsed tunnel.
It's just that a few guys just ran to the front, and they shot a few arrows from the direction of the tulou, and two unlucky bandits were directly corpsed.
The bandits' movements were fierce, and then they all honestly retreated out of range, and gradually began to pick up the dirt backwards from the entrance, so that they could save people while holding the bow and arrow on the other side of the earth building.
Lin Sen counted with satisfaction, the thieves who pit himself in, I am afraid that there are a hundred more people who can't stop it, and the plan to destroy the tunnel has been successfully completed.
Lin Sen, who had hidden his merits and fame, retreated to the side happily, and after getting away from these unlucky Tufuzi, he began to run towards the entrance of the secret passage.
I don't know if the bandits who attacked the gang have caused losses to the villagers, and I haven't seen everyone's situation in the tulou, Lin Sen always feels unsure.
The point is that these thieves have suddenly become smarter, and I'm afraid that they can play other moths.
Lin Sen, who was in a hurry to rush back, didn't know what kind of mess he had actually left behind on the bandit camp, and he still regretted that he had come out of this adventure.
Fortunately, if he didn't want to come out this time, he couldn't successfully destroy the enemy's plan to dig tunnels, and by the way, so many people were not, which finally made him feel a lot more comfortable.
But when the bandits who had gone out returned to the makeshift camp, the fun of waiting for them was great.
