Chapter 234: Unblocking the Secret Passage

After hearing this, Su He realized that Marcus had already been notorious here, and the residents of this place already hated him, even if he didn't bring troops over this time, Chusten might have rioted.

Su He sent someone to take Sogas out, and after thinking about it, he said to Ma Li: "You send a few people with him to see the situation of the secret passage, if the secret passage can really transport troops to the city, then we will enter the city overnight, and we will not prepare too much for Marcus to defend the city!" Also, I wonder if we can gather the soldiers who have been captured along the way, and see if those soldiers are willing to join us in the fight against Marcus! ”

"The first thing is that I will send someone to take him, if he tells a lie, the person I sent will immediately cut him down, and the second thing, I think it is feasible, after all, no one wants to follow the rebels at the moment, if we let those surrendered troops follow us to attack the rebels, and promise to settle down, I believe that there should be a large number of people willing to stand on our side, so that we will have a lot more troops, but I think we should pick out the centurion and centurion among them, It should be safer to mess up those soldiers and rush into our soldiers, don't you think? Ma Li immediately agreed, and expressed his thoughts and ideas.

So the two hit it off, and after discussion, they decided to send someone back to Neves to do the matter of surrendering the troops.

Not long after, several soldiers who had been sent to follow Sogarth to find the entrance to the secret passage returned, and one of the ten-commanders reported to Su He: "My lord, we followed the Alans to see the entrance to the secret passage, which is a sewer leading to the city. The sewage in the city is basically discharged from there, the smell is very unpleasant, and there is an iron fence after twenty meters from the entrance. The gap between the iron bars of the iron fence can only accommodate a skinny person to enter! ”

Su He and Ma Li both frowned after listening to the report of the ten-captain, if only thin people could be allowed to enter, wouldn't this secret passage leading to the city be useless? You must know that the soldiers under Su He and Ma Li are very strong, and it is very difficult to pick out a few thin people, even if they can be picked, what role can these thin people play in entering the city?

Su He couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Go and bring that Alan named Sogas!" ”

Thorgas was quickly picked up by two soldiers. Su He immediately said angrily: "Bold Alan, are you playing with Lord Ben?" The space between the iron fences is so small that it can only accommodate a skinny person like you. The soldiers of this lord are all very strong, how can they enter? And the iron rod of the iron fence is so thick, how can it be opened? ”

Sogas hurriedly said: "Don't worry, adults, the villain has a way to get the iron fence open." Even the strongest soldiers will be able to enter. As long as the adults ask the villain to prepare a little bit of tools! ”

In this era, there was no hacksaw or anything like that could cut through a thick iron bar, and it was not easy to break an iron rod the size of an adult's arm. Su He saw that the thief Sogas was so confident, and still asked him to prepare in doubt.

In less than an hour, Sogas was ready, and this time Ma Li personally led dozens of soldiers to follow him to the entrance of the secret passage, and after entering the sewer, he walked twenty meters to the iron fence, and sure enough, as the captain of the ten men reported, the iron bars of the iron fence were very thick. The gap was small, and it was difficult for a slightly stronger soldier to enter.

"Alans. It's time for you to put on a show, if you can't get rid of this iron thing, I'll cut off your head immediately, and if you can get it open, then I'll reward you with a hundred gold coins from the boss! Ma Li pointed at Sogas and said, in fact, he was not optimistic about this guy, how could such a lewd person get through such a thick iron fence?

But this guy forgot what Sogas was doing, he was a thief, and thieves had a way of breaking iron things, which was their best job of eating.

This sewer is about five or six meters wide, and there is a corridor of one meter on each side, paved with stones, and in the middle is a sewage channel, which exudes a strange smell, and many soldiers cover their noses with their hands, and even Ma Li can't stand it after staying here for a long time.

Sogas agreed, leaned over and took out a glass bottle from his body and squatted on the edge of the iron fence, and then took out a file-shaped thing, he opened the lid of the glass bottle, and used a brush to dip some liquid in the glass bottle, and then smeared this liquid with a strong pungent smell on the thick iron rod of the iron fence, only to see that the pungent smell of liquid was smeared on the iron rod and immediately made a "......" sound, with the sound, the thick iron rod began to bubble, The iron rod also began to taper, as if it was melting, and Thorgas covered his nostrils with something like a file, and when he did not make a swishing sound, he dipped some liquid on the iron rod, and filed the iron rod, and so on several times, the iron rod was filed by him, and the iron rod was shortened at one end, and the other end was also drawn by the gourd, and in less than half an hour, an iron rod was completely broken, revealing a wide gap in the middle, and the next strong soldier could easily enter even if he was wearing heavy armor.

Ma Li was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately said: "Sogas, you break another one to facilitate my soldiers to enter, as long as you behave well, I will reward you with a hundred gold coins to the commander when I go back!" ”

Sogas, who was himself a thief who lived by stealing, now that Mali had once again insisted on rewarding him, he immediately agreed with great joy and promised to break another one as quickly as possible.

Under the dual effect of gold coins and sticks, Sogas broke an iron rod next to him as fast as he could, and now the soldiers only had to bend down and step to enter, Ma Li let Sogas lead the way in front, he led the soldiers behind, he wanted to find out where the end of this sewer was, what kind of scene it was, and he had to determine whether the end of the sewer was safe in order to let the soldiers enter and take the city.

Although it was a sewer, because the city of Chusten was built with a mountain, the sewer was also slanted, and it climbed all the way up in the narrow corridors on both sides of the waterway, and it took about half an hour for Ma Li and the soldiers to climb to the end with sweat on their heads.

Sogas stopped and turned his head and said softly: "My lord, here, be quiet, this is the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, if the noise is too loud, it will be easy to be discovered."

Ma Li was suspicious, he pulled Sogas aside, he slowly climbed up the stone stairs, slowly pushed up the stone slab on his head under the light of the torch fire, stretched out his head to look, only to see the bright lights outside, some female slaves were scurrying around in panic, perhaps because they were worried about a large-scale massacre after the city was broken, so these women were very panicked, and involuntarily walked around trying to find a safe place to take refuge, seeing this situation, Ma Li did not make further movements, he slowly put down the stone slab and retreated, sent someone to guard here, and went back to the camp to meet Su He to report the situation.

"My lord, things are going very smoothly, now even the strongest soldiers can enter, in order to facilitate the entry of the soldiers, I also let the Alan people break one more, just now under the leadership of the Alan people, I led people along the sewer to the end to see the situation, the exit of this sewer is actually in the backyard of the city lord's mansion!"

After listening to Ma Li's report, Su He nodded and said: "Chusten was built on the mountain, and the City Lord's Mansion should be located in the highest place, and it is not difficult to understand that this sewer is at the end of the City Lord's Mansion, so you immediately go and prepare enough manpower, we will enter the city through the sewer late tonight, and then we should cooperate with the outside and take Chusten in one fell swoop!" ”

"Understood!" Ma Li agreed, and was about to turn around and walk out of the big tent to prepare.

At this time, there was a sudden shout of killing from outside, Su He and Ma Li were shocked, and immediately rushed out of the big tent and asked loudly: "What's going on outside the camp?" Where did the shouts come from? ”

Immediately, a ten-division commander led people out to inquire about the situation, and after a while, the ten-division commander who was investigating the situation came back with people and reported: "Your Excellency, the shouting of killing came from the southwest outside the camp, and there was a cavalry team of more than 50 cavalry trying to break through the blockade of our army and break through to the southwest, but they were already surrounded by our army!" ”

Su He and Ma Li both glanced at each other, both wondering why Marcus would send a cavalry of only fifty men to forcibly break through the siege, and soon they both had the answer in their hearts, thinking that Marcus wanted to send people to break through and draw back his troops in other small cities to support, so as to relieve the siege of Chusten.

After thinking for a while, Su He immediately shouted: "Herald, go and pass my order immediately, let Centurion Boulder pretend that he can't support it, and let those people go, but can't let those people see that we deliberately let them go, understand?" ”

The herald promised: "Yes, sir! ”

After the herald left, Ma Li was puzzled: "Lord Suhe, who are you?" ”

"Come!" Su He waved his hand and turned into the big tent, and Ma Li had to quickly follow into the big tent in order to figure out his intentions.

The two of them came to the side of the sand table one after the other, and Su He pointed to the southwest direction of Chusten and said: "Marcus sent people to break through at this time to concentrate all his forces distributed in other small cities and quickly rush to Chusten, so that they can flank us before and after, and achieve the purpose of lifting the siege, the territory in the southeast and north is under our control, and he now only has troops in the southwest and west towns to transfer, you see, in the three towns of La Sovo and Hautbreth and Zlogo, And if the forces of these three towns want to rush to Chusten, they can only gather under Chusten, that is, we have a chance to annihilate them in batches! ”

Ma Li's eyes froze when he heard this, he now had to admit that Su He's ability was incomparable to him at this stage, so he asked Su He for advice even more humbly, you must know that he was just a family member before, but who stipulated that a family member can't be a general? Wei Qing was just a groom when he first started! (To be continued......)
