Chapter 323: Chen Baili was ambushed

The line of fire was extinguished, and Chen Baili breathed a sigh of relief.

He had seen the power of gunpowder several times, and if they had buried enough gunpowder under the snow, once it was ignited, I was afraid that he would have to return to the west.

After taking a few steps forward, he still had a faint unsteadiness in his heart. He seemed to have overlooked something, could it be that there was still an enemy in ambush.

The soldiers were pulling away the snow at his command, and it wasn't long before what was buried inside was revealed. It was a dozen packages wrapped in brown paper, among which, no accidentally, was gunpowder.

Now it's time to rest assured.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

Chen Baili's eyes were dark, and before he passed out, he vaguely heard the chaotic voices around him.

"General, go and save the general."

"Damn, there's a hidden mechanism here, pick up those things and set them on fire."

"Qing thief, if the general has a little loss......"

When he heard this, he had already fainted, and he couldn't even hear a faint voice. The plan to go to Beiling City has been put on hold for the time being.

In the county office, Chen Baichuan's heart tightened, and he asked Chu Hui beside him, the people of Qingguo are strange and quiet today, and they did not come to attack the city. What is the sudden palpitation?

No one could tell him anything far away at this time.

Chen Baichuan, who had palpitations, was even more careful, and he asked Chu Hui: "You went to the city just now, and you really didn't find any changes in the Qing army?" ”

Similar questions have been asked five times before, plus this is the sixth time, Chu Hui tugged at the corners of his mouth, and still replied: "My lord, I can tell you responsibly for the sixth time, I didn't find anything abnormal in Qingjun just now." ”

"Really?"

"Really." Chu Hui also added a sentence at the end this time, "My lord, I think it's because you've been suffering day and night these days, and your body can't keep up, why don't you go and rest now?" ”

Chen Baichuan shook his head, he felt that things couldn't be so simple.

However, he never could figure out what went wrong.

"I'll go and see the city." Chen Baichuan stood up from his chair, instead of thinking about it here, it was better to go to the city to see what was going on.

He left, and Chu Hui followed him.

Chen Baichuan was inexplicably impatient in his heart, so that his steps were faster than usual. The county government was not far from the city wall, and it didn't take long for the two of them to go up the stone stairs to the top of the city.

The soldiers on duty at the head of the city saw that these two were coming, and hurriedly saluted.

At this time, the soldiers in the city were all Xue Si's subordinates, after all, the brothers of the Sichuan Zijun were not iron men, and it was time to rest after a few days of hard work. Besides, the Qing army's attack is not fierce in the past few days, and it is always a small fight, and it can be easily defended by relying on the original defenders of Changling City.

Standing on the city, holding clairvoyance in one hand, he glimpsed the scenery in the distance in the tube.

As Chu Hui said, the Qingjun camp he saw was eerily quiet, not to mention any abnormal movements, and there was not even the slightest sign of sending troops to attack Changling City.

Why didn't Liu Tingfeng launch a general attack, could it be that he thought that the Sichuan Army would still fly out a large number of shells at once in a daze and stupidly like before? If the purpose of the Qing army is to continue to consume the artillery shells of the Sichuan army in the city, it will be a long process if it continues to develop under such a situation.

Chen Baichuan doesn't care, can Qingjun ignore it?

Time is on Chen's side, whether it is the efforts of Chen's army in Anling Province or the strong performance of the ally Daheng, they all squeeze the time for the Qing army to attack Chen.

Stuck in the quagmire of Chen Guoda, not to mention the daily consumption of materials, delaying the fighter plane is a big problem.

All the information known so far points out that Qingguo can't afford to wait, so why is Qingguo still waiting? Or what is Liu Tingfeng waiting for?

In the blink of an eye, it was night, and around a certain tent in the camp of the Qing army, there were soldiers standing guarding. Each of them looked ahead vigilantly, to prevent anyone from attempting to set foot in the area.

In the camp, Fu Renjian and Liu Tingfeng are still there.

The dim candlelight illuminated a dozen other shadows, and there were many people in the camp, which was very lively.

Liu Tingfeng is still the biggest here, and he asked Fu Renjian, who manages all this, "How are you going these days?" ”

Fu Renjian's face was rosy, and he replied with a faint smile: "The progress is very smooth, according to the situation I saw before, there are four more days to complete the whole project." ”

Liu also smiled a little when he heard the words, and ordered: "Then you have to be more careful, don't let Chen Guoren notice it." ”

As the two spoke, the faces of the other dozen or so people in the camp were filled with fear, all of whom had never seen such a high-ranking official in their lives for half their lives. If the dead are counted, then there are a few who have seen a lot.

Look at these people are short in stature, with yellow skin, and the ends of their beards are covered with yellow mud and grass roots. Each holds a small shovel in his hand, and his eyes float, like a living thief.

The thieves did not wronged them, but these people were more hateful than the thieves. Ordinary thieves make money from the living, but these people sneaked into the tombs of the dead and took the money, not to mention, what is even more intolerable is that they actually disturb the sleep of the deceased.

How excessive, usually caught is to send the guillotine waiting.

This time they were lucky, after being caught in the army, they actually got Liu Shuai's promise not to cut off their heads, and I heard that there was a small reward for doing a good job.

This time their job is also to dig holes.

However, instead of digging through the tomb, this time these people need to work together to dig a hole in the ground!

"Liu Shuai, I still don't understand, didn't you say that this kind of thing can only be attacked by tunnels, why did you ...... it this time" Fu Renjian was full of doubts when he knew a few days ago that Liu Tingfeng wanted him to command a group of Tufuzi to dig a hole.

At that time, Liu Tingfeng explained it like this.

"The method of digging a hole was first thought up by Chen Guoren, and they must have taken some precautions against it, and obviously did not meet the prerequisites for surprise. But their guard is against the city: what if I do not dig into the city? ”

"Just dig the tunnel under the gate of Changling City, and bury the gunpowder made in the past few days when the time comes. With a bang, Changling City opened for us. ”

This strategy seems to be feasible, but the difficulty lies in how to avoid the sight of Chen Guoren.

So suddenly there was this tent in the army that was guarded day and night, and in it, the Tufu people were in full swing.

After days and nights of work, most of the tunnel has been dug by this time, and it is only a short distance from the end point. The last few days were therefore the most critical, only to be discovered by Chen Guoren The next moment the shells came down, and the entire tunnel collapsed.
