Chapter 198: Digging a tunnel

Chu Qin made up his mind this time, if Gu Du came to attack the village, he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and Chu Qin could defend or not, the code was to consume each other, but Gu Du must consume more troops than Chu Qin, and if he didn't follow the rules, he could return to Lingyun County. If Gu Du didn't come to attack the village, Chu Qin would throw oil cans into the city every day.

After three days of fighting, Gu Du asked the female disciples to send Dongfang Xia Lan and the child, as well as Dongfang Wen back to the mountain, and then led 30,000 soldiers out of the city and camped two miles away from the Chuqin camp.

Chu Qin personally climbed the watchtower to watch, Gu Duthief had a lot of eyes, and he hid the chicken leg bones when he was selected, but now he has led troops here but does not attack the camp, I don't know what the hell he is fighting.

But after watching it for half an hour, I didn't see anything strange in Gu Du's camp, Chu Qin was a little unsure, this distance was too close, although the trebuchet and bed crossbow couldn't reach it, but if you rushed to the camp, you could engage in battle in an instant, what was Gu Du going to do?

What Gu Du wants to do is dig tunnels.

Gu Du thought about it for three days, if he bypassed the camp, he would be attacked from front to back, although he was not afraid of fighting, but the loss was too heavy in this way, and Chu Qin's intention was likely to consume each other.

At this time and then, he consumed the strength of the Spirit Kingdom at the beginning, because the Spirit Kingdom was in a position of long-distance attack, and now that the situation is reversed, Ze Guo has to keep replenishing troops from the rear, and the Spirit Kingdom has an advantage in time, so Gu Du can't consume it with Chu Qin, even if it's one-on-one, it's not cost-effective.

But you can't stand up and let Chu Qin toss like this, although the city is very strong, but always fighting like this, it is also a slow consumption, and you can't expect Chu Qin to run out of fire oil and then stop.

So Gu Du came up with a way to dig a tunnel, dig down one wall of Chuqin's camp, and then be able to charge.

But it is not easy to dig tunnels, because Chu Qin's watchtower is built extremely high, if Chu Qin sees Zejun moving soil, he will figure it out and immediately return to Lingyun County.

So Gu Du asked people to set up a huge tent in the back camp, first dig a big pit two people deep, and the soil was piled up in the tent, and then ordered fifty people to bring enough water and food, take an iron shovel into it, and dig it all the way forward, and put the excavated soil behind him, which is equivalent to digging in front and filling in the back, and these fifty people can only come out of the ground after the battle, and each person will be credited with the first level of beheading the enemy.

Gu Du asked people to compare the width of this tent and lay two rows of long wooden piles as a guide for the direction of excavation, as long as they dig straight in the direction of the two rows of wooden piles, they can dig Chuqin's camp.

For three days, in addition to sleeping, Chu Qin took a small pony and sat on the watchtower to stare at Gu Du's camp, because Gu Du had not moved at all in the past three days.

Suddenly felt that the watchtower shook gently, Chu Qin was stunned, such a heavy watchtower, and there is no strong wind, how can it shake?

Suddenly thinking of Gu Du's strategy, Chu Qin hurriedly got off the watchtower and ordered: "Armament war!" ”

At this time, it is too late to withdraw, the Ze army must have been digging for three days, and it has reached the bottom of the watchtower, and the Ze army must be waiting for the day, and can rush to the camp at any time.

Chu Qin also ordered the deputy general to lead two teams of soldiers to tear down the back wall of the camp to open the retreat channel, and have people place the canister of fire oil behind the tent in the rear camp.

On Gu Du's side, the soldiers came in and reported: "Commander, the wooden wall of the enemy camp is loose. ”

Gu Du shouted: "Raise the account!" ”

Seeing that the gate of the Ze military camp was wide open, and he went out of the camp to line up and advance to this side, Chu Qin shouted: "One foot away from the door, line up!" Archers ready! ”

The wooden wall toppled over, and Gu Du ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

Countless feather arrows were thrown out, and Gu Du ordered again: "Rush to the camp!" ”

"Kill ......" the army screamed and rushed towards the enemy camp.

Chu Qin ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

In an instant, the Ze army rushed into the camp, and another 10,000 people, divided into two groups, circled to both sides of the camp and surrounded the camp behind.

Chu Qin shouted: "Retreat to Lingyun County!" Hurry back! ”

Chu Qin was defeated again, and when he ran back, he recalled that Shangguan He once mentioned that Gu Du would dig holes when he was young, one was to avoid the wind and keep warm, and the other was to avoid the people who bullied him, but he didn't expect to dig holes in battle.

Gu Du chased for three miles, ordered the troops to be collected, and cleaned up the battlefield, he didn't dare to chase hard, for fear that Chu Qin would have ambush soldiers.

The oil canisters left by Chu Qin didn't have time to ignite, and when Chu Qin retreated, he gave an order to light the oil oil, but no one listened to him, so they just ran away, so hundreds of oil canisters were hugged back to Linghe County.

Chu Qin's losses this time were not serious, with a total of less than five thousand casualties, but Chu Qin found a terrible problem, the spirit army was scared by Gu Du, and when he heard about the retreat, he turned around and ran, not caring about anything, just thinking about saving his life.

Morale is so low, he must not fight again, in terms of Gu Du's current situation, he will not expand again in a year or two, because his troops are not enough, he should still recuperate, and he must come up with a feasible strategy to deal with Gu Du.

Gu Du waited for a month, Chu Qin never came again, Gu Du knew that Chu Qin would not fight again, but he didn't have to fight, because he received a spy report, the Spirit Emperor gave Chu Qin power, and Chu Qin could fight as much as he wanted.

If Gu Du goes to attack Lingyi County, Chu Qin will come to attack Linghe County, so Gu Du has to accumulate troops on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to cultivate a real deputy, just by himself, he is really lacking in skills, even if he doesn't have to stare at Chu Qin, there will be more and more cities to fight in the future, and he can't lead his own troops to fight every city, right?

The most suitable candidate is Feng Jiu, because Ye Xiaodong is too stupid, just follow him to fight, don't think about leading the army, although other spirit masters can also lead the army, but if you want to lead the army, you can't control the soul army, and there are few high-level spirit masters in Ze Country, and then divide them to lead the troops, the gains outweigh the losses.

Gu Du called Feng Jiu over and told him what he thought.

Feng Jiu said: "Although Yanzi is not as strong as me, she is much more intelligent than me, shall I bring her?" ”

Gu Du shook his head and said: "She is all a mother, let her take care of the child at home, Lixia is not in battle, and I will not let Xia Lan go into battle, how can I let Yanzi go into battle?" We're much stronger than we used to be, and we don't have to let women go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

Feng Jiu's eyes were very pleased, no matter what, there is always danger in fighting, and asked, "Master, let me lead the army, will those generals agree?" ”

Gu Du replied: "It doesn't matter if they agree or not, as long as the emperor decrees, they will have to agree, but they will definitely not be convinced, so I have to pave the way for you." ”

Feng Jiu looked at Gu Du, how does this pave the way? Directly let him lead his troops to fight? So what if you lose? The other party is Master Chu Qin!

Gu Du looked at him and said: "Don't be afraid, I estimate that I won't fight again in two years, you start with military training first, practice on my behalf, presumably no one dares to accuse me of not, when they get used to listening to you give orders, I will ask the emperor to promote you again." ”

Feng Jiu was obviously relieved, and bowed down and responded, "Yes." ”
