Chapter 739, the sand city was built so that it would fall
Stationed in Shacheng, for two days, nothing happened, the third day was the time when it was decided to attack, and the next night, in addition to the sentinels defending the city, the rest of the soldiers, Zhuge Liang let them rest early, so as to nourish their spirits and prepare for tomorrow's siege decisive battle.

However, when the night completely covered the sky overhead, no one noticed that there was a group of people quietly moving under the sand city.
"Are you all ready?"
The three Watson brothers led people to patrol the tunnels, gathering all the soldiers and generals around them, the entire sand city, the underground is full of criss-crossing passages, where did these passages come from? When building the sand city, it is necessary to measure the sand grains, and these sand grains are enough to hollow out all the nearby, but Jia Xu ordered someone to spread sand on it, and there is no abnormality on the surface.
However, under the entire sand city, there are countless huge pits, whether in the city or outside the city, the passage is full of firewood, grass and pine oil, and there are not a few sulfur saltpeter... When Shacheng was about to be captured, Watson led people into the ground in advance, so Zhuge Liang did not find the bones of the three Watson brothers.
Therefore, Chen Qicai has not sent additional reinforcements, because these people will not die at all.
"It's all set."
The soldiers nodded in unison, Watson nodded, picked up a torch casually, lit it, and put it into the pile of firewood and grass beside him, bang, the firewood and grass were splashed with pine oil and sulfur, and it burned in case of fire, under the light of the fire, the corners of Watson's mouth were slightly filled with a cold smile, "Act immediately, don't let go of any place, after igniting the fire, evacuate immediately." ā
"No!"
The two hundred soldiers immediately followed the order, and these people were like rats in the ground, and they were all about setting fire to the passages without stopping, and soon the fire in the ground was like a mad dragon, and even if there was sand on it, it could not trap them.
"General, General Wenyuan, when are we going to enter the army?"
They came to the vicinity of Tongguan early, but the soldiers were asked to repair in situ and not act for the time being, the location of these people was less than thirty miles away from Shacheng, and they did not expose their whereabouts with the cover of the mountains and forests.
Zhang Liao stretched out his hand and took out a black bag from his arms, opened it and took out a note, and opened it with a thick and broad palm to look at it, Zhang Liao's brows furrowed suspiciously, "Mr. has an order, when Shacheng falls, it will be the opportunity for us to attack." ā
"Sand City Falls?"
The soldiers and generals around him all frowned and were puzzled, what does this mean, will the sand city that was finally built up, fall? You must know that Jia Xu spent half a month repairing this sand city, even if it is an earth city, I am afraid that it is not so easy to fall, even if the sand city is occupied by Zhuge Liang now, everyone is still confused.
What kind of signal is this, even Zhang Liao couldn't figure it out, this is the first time he has encountered such an order after so many battles.
However, that's because he hadn't met Jia Xu before, Jia Xu was known as a poisoner, strategizing, and knowing things like a god, from the beginning, building the sand city was not just to flank Zhuge Liang, but to let it fall.
Repair it just to make it collapse.
Because, a small sand city, no matter how many days it resists, sooner or later it will eventually be captured by Zhuge Liang, and if it is not allowed to fall down, wouldn't it be cheaper for Zhuge Liang.
Before Zhuge Liang arrived, Jia Xu had already deduced and calculated, if it was himself, he would first lead his troops to take the easy to capture Shacheng, and then attack Tongguan with Meng Shu, whoever he changed would do it.
Therefore, the greater role of Shacheng is to lure Zhuge Liang into Shacheng.
In the city, a sentry estimated that he drank too much yellow soup at night, trembling and looking for a horn, humming a little song, while trembling and unbuttoning his trousers, because the weather was too cold, the pants had just been untied, and a fierce cold wind poured in, and the frozen sentry bared his teeth, cursed the ghost weather, and even muttered, "If this kung fu is enough, it will be cool to be able to bake the fire." ā
For these most ordinary sentinels, standing guard at night is no different from squatting in prison, the taste is really uncomfortable, outside the northwest plug, the weather is cold, and spitting can freeze immediately, for them, peeing at night is the most unbearable, every time they are frozen and shivering, almost freezing the guy who 'eats'.
He snorted unhappily, and before he finished peeing, this sentry felt that something was wrong, and his feet seemed to have become a lot hotter, even if he followed the soles of his shoes, he could feel the warmth "Hey, what's going on?" He had just bent down, intending to check to see if he was dreaming.
With a bang, a large piece of his feet collapsed, and immediately after, a fierce pillar of fire jumped out, burning right on his face, oops...... The sentinel screamed in pain, and his body suddenly fell, and as a result, it is conceivable that when the surface above is hot, the fire underground has gone crazy!
The flames below were rolling, even the tunnels were burned red, Watson and the others had already hid in a tunnel without firewood and grass in advance, the fire could not be suppressed at all, and they kept jumping on the surface, burning the ground and collapsing down, more and more flames rose into the sky, inside and outside the city, soon, it was a sea of fire.
The reason why the fire became so fierce so quickly was because the entire underground of the sand city was almost completely hollowed out, and the inside was full of firewood, grass, pine oil and flammable materials, and once ignited, the fire could no longer be controlled.
Huge pillars of fire burst out from the ground, and from a distance, the entire Sand City was about to be swallowed up by the fires burning everywhere.
Don't forget, Sand City, what it was built against!
In addition to sand, it is ice, and ice, when it meets fire, the result is naturally not difficult to imagine!
In Tongguan City, Chen Qi and others were dressed neatly early, standing solemnly one by one, their eyes were bright, and from time to time someone ran down from the city wall to report the situation on the other side.
Chen Zhuo's face sank like water, straddled the horse and held a sword, surrounded by Pang De Zhou Yi, dressed in black Xuanjia, majestic and murderous, and the 20,000 soldiers and generals behind him were already ready, and everyone clenched the swords and guns in their hands.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy, because the sky was burned red, and without thinking about it, you could guess that the Xichuan army on the opposite side must be 'roasting fire'
It's so cold, it's time to warm up.
It's just that this sky-high fire, but be careful not to roast and die.
Zhang Liao also received the news from the scout, and after a little silence, Zhang Liao waved his hand, "Pass my order, move forward immediately, it seems that Shacheng is really about to collapse." (To be continued.) )
