Chapter 26: Transfers (Part II)

That night, Yun Tianjia unexpectedly launched two more surprise attacks, and the enemy suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to sleep all night.

That night, Xiong Zhuangzhuang led people to find a hill outside the exit of the tunnel and set up camp, and asked Yongzhi, Sun Mengxuan, and Ma Zhenyang to lead the miscellaneous soldiers, young and brave people, old and weak women and children, and the disabled and sick to line up and evacuate from the tunnel.

When retreating, the people refused to throw away their belongings, pots and pans clanged, tattered clothes were dragged and bloated, mothers called children, children cried, and it was a mess until the early hours of the morning, when they were all gone, leaving a mess.

Yun Tianjia ordered half of the soldiers to stand guard on the wall, while the other half lit more than a dozen bonfires and poured water on them, creating the illusion that the cooking smoke was thick.

After nightfall again, Yun Tianjia withdrew most of the elites, leaving only the archers, fire guns, and crossbow teams to defend the city, and he and Gong Luoluo attacked the enemy camp and killed more than a dozen leaders.

In the second half of the night, Yun Tianjia leaned the one hundred and ten straw men that had been set up long ago against the wall, and he withdrew into the tunnel with Gong Luoluo and the rest of the government army.

Soon after they retreated into the tunnel, there was a sudden roar in the sky above the earthen fort, and countless stones fell like raindrops, smashing potholes on the ground and walls.

Yun Tianjia walked out of the tunnel and came to the top of the mountain where Xiong Zhuang was camped, and he seemed to faintly hear the noise and muttering from the earthen fort, and suddenly thought of a question, and lost his voice: "Wrong, wrong!

Xiong Zhuangzhuang was stunned and said: "We evacuated the earthen fort smoothly according to the plan, unscathed, why is it wrong again?"

"The earth fort is a dead place, and the hill is also a dead place. However, the earth fort connects the mountain with tunnels, but it is a live chess, which can advance or retreat, attack or defend. To throw away the earthen fort is to fall into the place of death. It won't take the enemy a day or two to find out. When they come down the tunnel, we can't stand on a stable footing, where can we stop it?

Therefore, we must divide our troops and retreat into the earthen fort to hold on. Xiong Zhuangzhuang, you and Lord Ji, let the adults, and Lord Sun mobilize miscellaneous soldiers and soldiers and people to occupy the favorable terrain, build a camp around the exit of the tunnel, and I will take the elite of the three hundred government troops back to the fort. ”

Ji Wenyuan, Rang Yongzhi, Sun Mengxuan and others praised in unison and unanimously supported.

At that moment, Yun Tianjia, Gong Luoluo, and Li Siyun ordered the elite, re-entered the tunnel, and returned to the Zhongbao Hall, but they heard the stones falling outside the door, like hail, crackling, and it fell for more than an hour.

When the sound stopped, Li Siyun's face suddenly changed color, and he shouted: "It's not good!" The 'Pixiu Mirror Shadow Knot' large array was smashed by stones!" rushed out of the gate, and rearranged the formation neatly with his hands and feet, but unfortunately the sunflower bronze mirror was smashed a few pieces, and the Pixiu Great Seal of the bloodstone was also broken by a corner, and the mana was difficult to recover.

Yun Tianjia's expression was cold, and he shouted: "If the magic circle is broken, the earth fort will definitely not be able to stop the ghost of the human bone." Daochang Li, you lead people to retreat into the tunnel first, and wait for my news. "Jumping on the city wall, I saw a hula outside the northeast gate pressing a witch and ghost mage.

Gong Luoluo's sleeves were windy, and the "Wind Blade Meteor Shower" was blatantly issued.

The Ten Layers of the Heavenly Armor of the Cloud Heavenly Armor merged into one, transforming into a huge pale golden light shield, enveloping the entire earth fort inside.

The dense and sharp cyan wind blade killed a large number of witch and ghost mages in an instant, and there was a terrible scream, which was terrifying.

Countless ghost imps rushed to the golden light shield and the remnants of the magic circle, and in an instant, they turned into dots of dark green spirits and dissipated into the night sky.

The living Hades Fu was shocked, and hurriedly recalled the disciples and grandchildren to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.

Hearing the enemy retreating, Li Siyun took the lead out of the tunnel and asked, "What now?" should we continue to stay here or retreat?"

Yun Tianjia said: "The magic circle is incomplete, and it is difficult to hold on here. You show everyone what useful supplies are in the bunker and take them with you. Especially those magic weapons of yours, lime, glutinous rice, realgar, dog blood, etc., don't throw them away, they are still useful to bring back. ”

Li Siyun smiled: "That's nature. "Command the government army to collect things, pack them and move them away.

Gong Luoluo said: "As soon as we leave now, the earth fort is completely empty, and the enemy will be able to find it immediately." Shouldn't we leave some people to guard first, to buy a little time on the other side of the hill, so that we can hold our ground?"

Yun Tianjia paced back and forth for two steps, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the straw man leaning against the wall, one of which had a feathered arrow stuck in his head, loosely crooked on one side.

His heart moved, and he said, "Take these straw men away!"

"The straw man also takes away?" Li Siyun said in surprise: "Isn't the straw man used to confuse the enemy? And it's useless to take it away, there is a lot of firewood and grass on the mountain." ”

Yun Tianjia looked up at the sky and said, "The enemy army has already discovered that the straw man is fake, and it won't work if you put it here, but if you take it away, maybe it will be useful." ”

Gong Luoluo's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Wonderful, let's sing a true or false empty city plan to the enemy, and see if they are fooled." ”

Li Siyun was confused and didn't know why.

After moving the materials, Yun Tianjia put a fire in the fort again, and then doused it with water, burning out a lot of black smoke, and then retreated into the tunnel with Gong Luoluo, while retreating, he sprinkled small hidden weapons such as iron nails and tribulus poison needles, and when he retreated halfway, he also pulled out the wooden stake support plate of the tunnel and collapsed the tunnel.

After coming out, it was even more difficult to carry boulders and sharp wood, completely sealing the exit.

Outside the earthen fort, the living Hades Fu human bones slapped the table and slammed the stool, and lost his temper.

The red-eyed scorpion Dugu You was also very angry: "Cunning, the enemy is too cunning!" deliberately put a bunch of straw men on the wall, and then removed the magic circle, so that we mistakenly thought that they secretly found a secret way to slip away, but in fact, they secretly set up an ambush, leading us to be fooled and causing us heavy losses. ”

The living Hades Fu Ren Gu scolded angrily: "The secret way? What kind of fart secret way? They are clearly all hiding in the bunker! Lao Tzu can't swallow this breath, let everyone continue to bomb the stone, bombard it for two days and two nights, I don't believe they won't come out!"

"Naturally, the stones are going to be bombed...... Dugu You was halfway through speaking, when someone suddenly came in and reported that the straw man at the head of the earth fort wall had been pulled away.

The living Hades Fu human bone wondered, "The straw man was pulled away, what does this mean?"

"Go out and have a look!" The red-eyed scorpion Dugu didn't say a word, and when he got out of the camp, he saw that the flags on the earthen fort were silent, and there were no people, and he looked lifeless.

"Could it be that they are really gone?" The living Hades Fu human bones had just suffered a big loss, and they felt that there was something wrong with everything they saw, so they didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

The red-eyed scorpion Dugu walked around the earthen fort for a small half circle, repeatedly checked the situation in the earthen fort, and even jumped to the top of the tree to look inward, it really didn't look like a person inside.

But the thousands of people in the earthen bunker can't disappear into thin air overnight. So either the enemy has a secret passage leading to the outside, or there is a huge cellar dug in the earthen bunker, enough to hide everyone.

The living Hades Fu human bone said: "We dig a deep ditch along the earthen fort, whether there is a tunnel or not, we will know as soon as we dig it." If there is a tunnel, it means that they are really gone, if there is no tunnel, it means that they are still inside, so they set up a suspicion array and set a trap for us. ”

The red-eyed scorpion Dugu Yu frowned and said, "How long will it take to dig such a long deep ditch?"

Looking intently at the earthen fort, I saw a wisp of green smoke swaying misneath, if there was nothing, scattered into the air.

Finally, he grinned and said: "The enemy has been sparse for a long time, and finally there are still flaws! There is smoke curling in the fort, how can there be no one? If there is really no one, why should the straw man be withdrawn? Isn't it that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and they want to cover it up? Spread my words, don't stop the catapult, keep bombing!"
