Greed for life and fear of death is definitely a derogatory term, but in terms of heart, it is a person who will not want to die even if he is a grass or a tree, so there is a saying that ants still steal life. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Yi is afraid of death and wants to live longer, so he can always think of a way to leave a way back for himself.

Niu Jinda and Xue Wancheng and his party followed behind Zhang Yi at this moment, walking through a dark and very narrow tunnel, although there were torches illuminated every other distance, but they could only illuminate a short distance, especially in the long corridor, this feeling of silence accompanied by footsteps undoubtedly made people feel like a ghost blowing the lamp.

It can be seen that this tunnel is only grass and has not undergone subsequent processing, because of the grassland geology, there are even some bricks and stones above the cave entrance in many places to prevent collapse.

"General Niu, this tunnel connects the various underground passages of the Thirty-six Forts from Shuofang City, and the exit at the end is behind the hill five miles to the left of Shuofang!" Zhang Yi explained while leading the way: "The reason why this tunnel was established is that we are considering the shortage of manpower in our chain fortress, with which we can quickly reinforce from the tunnel according to the military situation. The second is to escape, in the last resort, hehe, I don't think the general minds exchanging a city for Jieli's 50,000 horses, right? ”

Niu Jinda nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with the tunnel arranged by Zhang Yi, but he was suddenly stunned when he was listening to it.

As Zhang Yi said earlier, the tunnel acted as a secret reinforcement channel between the fortress and Shuofang City, and he was obviously aware of the vital role in it, but Zhang Yi's later sentence of exchanging Shuofang City for Jieli's 50,000 horses in exchange for Jieli under the last resort undoubtedly shocked him.

You know, 50,000 Turkic soldiers and horses are not 50,000 pigs, even if 50,000 pigs want to slaughter, it is not an easy thing, as the so-called dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the pig will arch when he is in a hurry, and people are in a hurry to do everything.

How could 50,000 Turkic soldiers and horses be tied up and killed?

"You want to catch a turtle in an urn?" Soon, Niu Jinda thought of this idiom, and began to think about how to face the problem of 50,000 horses from his own point of view.

Today's Shuofang City is very strong, of course, it is relatively large, although it is more than a star and a half smaller than the city in the Guannai, but the city is definitely more than capable of accommodating 50,000 horses, and even if it is in his opinion, even if it can accommodate 200,000 soldiers and horses, there is no problem.

And it is precisely in this way that there is room for operation, if these 50,000 Turks can be introduced into the city, the city gates can be closed, and then with the help of tunnels, then the city can be said to be firmly trapped. At that time, it was only necessary to hold the four gates tightly, and it would be impossible for the Turks in the city to come out.

It's just that the Turks naturally can't be fools, so how can they be easily fooled?

"Catch a turtle in an urn! Not really! Zhang Yi smiled, there was already a fork in front of him, one was still a slightly straight line, and the other end was another Yongdao crossing facing the left, and the three torches at the intersection were inserted above the hole and the lights were bright. Zhang Yi continued to move forward and said to a few people: "When the lower officials were looking for the general today, they once said that there was a problem with the defense of our thirty-six chain fortresses, but at that time, we didn't continue to talk about it because of the arrival of the Xun soldiers!" ”

As they spoke, the group had already turned into the passage on the left, and not far away, a staircase made of first-class cement continued to extend upward, and about five or six meters away, an oval-shaped exit that could accommodate two people could be clearly seen.

"General Niu, please?" Zhang Yi made a gesture of please, and then introduced: "This is the fortress in front of the right side of Shuofang City, according to the number of the nineteenth fortress, our exit is designed in a specially dug dry well in the fortress, through which we can achieve the purpose of reinforcements." ”

Niu Jinda couldn't help but nodded, the setting of the tunnel was similar to what he expected, and even if he didn't finish the passage in the back, he could guess that there must be a lane exactly the same as in front of him every once in a distance to connect the entire defense system.

"Smack! Smack! Syllable. Syllable. Bang Bang Bang! ”

Niu Jinda walked to the entrance of the cave, and at this time Zhang Yi had already walked up quickly, and his right hand began to tap on the iron plate of the cave door with a rhythmic beat.

Soon, the entrance to the cave had been opened from above, and the group walked up.

Out of the hole, as Zhang Yi said, when a dry well, but this exit is not directly extended upwards, but a slightly buffered passage from south to north, and then at a distance of ten meters is the dry well, this design is obviously to prevent the people above from finding the dry well after playing the role of fish and pearls.

However, Niu Jinda couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yi again, don't look at it, there is such a simple design, but it undoubtedly reduces the probability of this passage being discovered, and he believes that when this tunnel is really fully completed, it will definitely be guarded on the inside of each exit as in the fortress, and it is absolutely impossible to open the door without the correct code joint.

If you want to use brute force to destroy, it is not possible to break the iron gate with heavy cement in a short time, after all, the hole itself can only move forward by two people side by side, which undoubtedly restricts the iron gate from being able to receive too many blows at the same time.

With the bottom of the tunnel, Niu Jinda has been a lot easier, even if the city is broken, the entire Shuofang defenders can be retained, although there are only five or six thousand people, but at this time it is also a big force, if it can converge with Li Jing, then Li Jing still has a chance to turn around.

"Yes! Not bad! Obviously suppressing the joy, but he had to make a reluctant expression on his face, Niu Jinda led the group up to the ground with the assistance of the soldiers of the fortress, and asked, "Then you can tell me what weaknesses our fortress has?" By the way, take out the solution at one time, don't let the old man guess, the old man doesn't have so much spare time! ”

In fact, it was not only Niu Jinda, but also Xue Wanqian and Tang Peng behind him, as well as several accompanying guards, all looked at Zhang Yi curiously.

In their opinion, this tunnel has made up for all the shortcomings of the fortress.

Through the tunnel, not only can the troops be increased, but also used for retreat, and the enemy can be attacked from the side through the exit at the end.... It's just perfect, but where the problem comes from?
