Chapter 20 The Usefulness of Learning Geography

"Hahaha! My lord, do you see those turtles, they are scared and peeing, hahaha! ”

"When they come back, blow them up, hahaha!"

"Yes! The bees scared them away, and they laughed to death! ”

The people present couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, but there was no smile on Taoyao's face. Not only that, but she frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

The successful army of 50,000 has retreated, but it is not retreating, but the entire town is surrounded by water, not to mention people, even a dog can't run out at the moment.

"We're only safe for the time being." Okra spoke, which made the atmosphere of the scene a lot colder, and they all stopped laughing and looked at Tao Yao in unison.

"We used almost half of the traps today, the explosion of the methane gas is because they have not seen it and are unprepared, they will panic, and the bee killing is their carelessness after panicking. However, despite this, they only lost more than a thousand people. They will inevitably be prepared for their next attack, and such a trick will not be used anymore. Tao Xiaoyao shook her head.

That success is not a fool who has not learned the art of war on the street, of course he understands this truth, otherwise he would not have sent several teams one after another to explore the truth, and finally decisively withdrew from a safe place.

"My lord, these 50,000 troops have already surrounded Longxia Town, we have no abundant food and water, if they besiege but not attack, we will not be able to resist for seven days." At this time, Xiao Wuming successfully stood by Tao Yao's side, and his name was unknown.

"This-" Although these people have not studied, the common sense of this society is much stronger than that of those rich and noble, especially the issue of rations, and they have nothing to say.

"Humph! Lao Tzu is going to fight with them! Kill one without losing money, kill two and earn one!" A man's eyes showed a fierce light, and this sentence had been deeply burned in their hearts.

"You? I'm afraid that before you reach the door of people's homes, you will be shot into a sieve by archers and hung in the sky to wave flags! A man on the side still had some brains and sneered at him.

"W-what then? Are we just waiting here to die? ”

"Or we're digging tunnels?"

"Digging tunnels? It's in the mountains! You dig a stone and I'll try?! ”

"Or we-"

Someone wanted to say surrender, but the words came to their lips and swallowed again, but Tao Yaoyao's eyes lit up at this time.

"What did you just say?" Tao Yao looked sharply at the man who had just spoken.

"Your Excellency...... I...... I don't mean to surrender, I ......" The man's face turned pale, and you must know that those who escape from the battle are taboo in the army.

"I'm asking you the previous sentence!" Tao Yaoyao didn't seem to care at all, but looked at him excitedly.

"The previous sentence? Well...... Digging tunnels? The man said cautiously, his eyes drifting from side to side, and he didn't dare to look at the peach blossom.

"Yes!" The peach is happy.

"My lord, it's easy to dig up rocks in our place, and we can't dig them at all. Even if you are lucky enough to not touch the stones, the length of this tunnel, depending on us people who don't eat or drink, will dig for half a month, and the army over there may come tomorrow-" Okra frowned, it was obvious that he was not optimistic about the idea.

"Bring me the map." Tao Yao didn't answer, and excitedly asked for the map.

Although okra has an opinion, but still did it, this map is very simple, but fortunately, the terrain here is just dangerous but not complicated.

"You see, our town is right at the end of the mountain, and although there is no rain here, landslides always happen, and the house will avoid these dangers. But if we avoided it, it doesn't mean that the 50,000 people can avoid itβ€”" Tao Yaoyao said, gesturing at the map.

"What do you meanβ€”" Okra's eyes lit up for a moment, and he seemed to think of something.

"Did you want to cause a landslide and win this battle?" I understand it, but it's not a good idea.

"That's right! However, it is too difficult to kill them, and it is still possible to block their way. Momo smiled confidently.

"My lord, how can we be in charge of this heavenly matter, and besides, the current month has passed the day of falling water, and there will be no heavy rain in the sky!"

"The sky will not fall, we can beg."

"Huh? Rain? ”

"That's right! Rain! ”

Everyone was stunned, but Tao Yao looked at everyone with a smile, but they didn't know that this battle was recorded in history, and when people remembered this war many years later, they all admired the man who appeared and disappeared like a myth.

"What news did you find?" Success is not idle here.

When he received the news, Dragon Canyon had already fallen, Dragon Gorge Town had been occupied, and everything was coming too quickly. However, when they realized that it was only a remnant of a thousand soldiers who had done all this, everyone laughed, but he did not. He is cautious by nature, and the danger of the terrain of Dragon Canyon is self-evident, and it is no coincidence why this guy can win. It also turned out that the few squads he sent were all caught in the trap of the other party, and those explosions alarmed the army of 50,000. Of course, he wouldn't watch such a thing as demoralization happen, and withdrawing was the best option.

"General, you let me surround Longxia Town, and now Longxia Town can't even fly a fly."

"General, they are just a little clever, if we take it down directly, those people will already become the souls of my sword." The general next to Chenggong said nonchalantly.

"What does Scomer mean is that we exchange the lives of 10,000 people for a few hundred people in the city, and then take this military merit and go back to ask for credit?" The tone of the success words was a little lower.

"General, that's not what the last general meant."

"And what do you mean?! Losing the Dragon Canyon is a fault, if we don't attack the enemy, not only will we be punished without a light on our faces, but we will not be able to keep the hat on our heads! Do you understand? Success said angrily.

He is the second son of a family, and there is a sister-in-law above, if he does not handle this matter well, his status will inevitably be affected.

"The last general understands!"

"The general is angry, at this time, those people are also our sword, we just need to surround and not move forward, and they can't bear it. In less than ten days, when we went again, those people had already become dry bones from starvation. ”

"No, ten days is too long, if Seamo's army arrives, we will be in danger before and after." The strategist next to Success said.

"What do you mean, sir?" Success was originally an angry face, but when facing this handsome man, he was obviously a lot more polite.

"General, this battle needs to be resolved quickly, and there is a plan below." The man said.

"Sir, please." Success looked at him and asked.

"Wait."

"Wait?"

"Most of these people are reckless people, we send people to keep releasing the news, they are abandoned by Seamus, in a few days, when they are discouraged, we will send people to persuade them to surrender, lure them out, and then they will be all in the net!" A sharp glint slipped into the man's eyes.

"Good! Will they really fall, though? "Successful nature makes him always scruples.

"Yes, the general asked people to carry a few boxes of silver, those people have never seen so much silver in their lives, not to mention that surrendering is not empty talk to surrender to the general. When the time comes, I will ambush them early and use their heads to make an errand, and the credit will naturally belong to the general. The corners of the man's mouth were slightly raised.

"So it was decided." Successfully slapped the board.

Tao Yaoyao is not ambiguous at all, in fact, if the successful character is not so cautious and scruples, and really rushed into the town with people, now they are estimated to have become prisoners, but they are just making people. The man was now setting the table in earnest, burning incense and begging for rain outside the city gates.

"Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Taishang Laojun will appear soon!" A man who looked like a Taoist priest was wearing a coat, stepping on black boots, holding a wooden sword, and he didn't know what he was gesturing everywhere, and he was still chanting words.

There was a long table in front of him, and there were incense burners and dishes on the table, but these things were ready-made.

"Hey, hey! Asking for rain, how is it too old man, wrong, wrong! A person next to him reminded him with some embarrassment.

"Shut up! Ahem! Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Dragon King Zhenjun is about to manifest his spirit! The Taoist man seemed to be a little displeased, glared at him, but the words in his mouth were changed.

This is a group leader who asks for rain, he used to stay in the Taoist temple for a while, and then he felt that the days were hard and he went out to mix and eat, and what he did was a trick to fool people, so this outfit was also easy for him, but this rain was all a trick to deceive, why did adults really do it?

Of course, Tao Yaoyao herself was not there, she let the group of people over there beg for rain with great fanfare, while she took okra and ignorance and other energetic efforts to do other work.

"Yes, just put it there, quietly."

"Okay, sprinkle a little more, yes!"

They are at the foot of a hill not far from the town, the successful army is very close to them, she is taking advantage of the night to direct them to bury a few bags of unknown things on various points, these points are the crystallization of her years of learning geography, as long as these points have a shock, then this mountain will collapse, but it is a pity that she does not have enough gunpowder, otherwise it is a hole to blow up what is the difficulty?

"Master, you're all ready." Yao Wuming came over and said.

"Well, it's a matter of success or failure."

"Master, ignorance has prepared a route, if there is a mistake, the master can leave from there." Yao Wuming looked at Tao Yaoyao's eyes and said.

"Ignorance, thank you." Tao Yaoyao looked at him generously, and the eyes of the two collided together, and finally Xiao Wuming moved his eyes away.

"How's Xiaoshan?" Tao Yaoyao asked this question, and Xiao Wuming was stunned.

"Don't worry, the master is in a safe place to answer the master, and she won't be easily discovered by the spies." Xiao Wuming replied.

Tao Xiaoyao nodded and stopped talking, and the night was quiet, as eerie as the calm before the storm.
