Chapter 304: Digging a Pit

Seeing the mess everywhere in front of him, Lou Kai was furious, and more than 1,000 of his subordinates were killed by the people of Chu like chopping melons and vegetables in the midst of their own army, but they didn't even know where the enemy was. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Search for me!" Lou waved his hand, causing the soldiers to scatter and search carefully.

The soldiers of the returning regiment rummaged through boxes and cabinets, uncovered tiles and demolished walls, and found nothing but the gold, silver and jewelry collected by their sacrificial predecessors into their own pockets.

At this time, a soldier rummaging in the square suddenly shouted: "General, there is a living mouth!"

Lou Kai strode forward, only to see a half-dead soldier lying on the ground, who was Xiao Yi, the personal guard of Wang Bingkun's thousand-man team.

Xiao Yi was wounded all over his body, and was even pierced through his chest by a crossbow arrow. But fortunately, Xiao Yi hid a carved Mithril Tylan plate on his chest during the previous home search.

The crossbow bolt was greatly reduced by the silver plate, and only wounded the lungs, but did not cause death. Xiao Yi was seriously injured, and he had no ability to resist, so he simply lay down and pretended to be dead.

Guan Dazhuang sneaked up on the core of the enemy army, didn't dare to stay for a long time, and the mending knife was not clean, so he actually let Xiao Yi escape.

Lou Kai bent down and asked in a deep voice, "Where did the enemy come from, and where did they go?"

Xiao Yi replied weakly: "General Lou... Army, the enemy from all sides... The tunnel suddenly came out, and our army was caught off guard. They and... Along with the civilians of Oribetsu Town, they hid back in the tunnels. ”

"Where's the tunnel?"

"Over there, over there... And over there" Xiao Yi pointed with his finger, and finally pointed to the steps at the entrance of the town's mansion and said, "The main exit is just below the steps." General, avenge my family's thousands of households. Wang Qianhu died so miserably that there was only a pair of broken shoes left. ”

Lou Kai nodded, raised his hand suddenly, and the guard behind him threw the nine-ring plate door knife over, Lou Kai held it with one hand, and turned his wrist to hide the knife behind him.

Lou Kai strode towards the door of the town's mansion. The nine-ring plate door knife is one zhang and three feet long, and the knife head alone is six feet, and the whole body is made of snowflake black iron, which is extremely heavy.

Coupled with the heavy pure gold armor on his body, Lou Kai walked like a steel fortress moving, shaking the ground.

Every time he took a step, Lou Kai's spirit was raised by one point. After walking a short distance, the gray-gold qi had already risen into the air. It gradually condensed into a golden wolf with four wings on its back and three feet long at the back of its head.

When Lou Kai walked five feet away from the steps, his momentum had risen to the peak. Suddenly, I saw his feet on the ground, and the head of the knife shook, turning into a two-handed knife.

Lou Kai slowly raised the broadsword above the top, and suddenly burst out in a brilliant golden light: "Open!"

A five-zhang long gray-gold sword flew out from the edge of the blade and slashed heavily at the top of the white jade stone steps.

In the tunnel, not far from the entrance is a huge cave mansion, which can accommodate 10,000 people. The cave has a number of light and dark tunnels that lead to several other caves, each of which hides a number of poor people.

The poor people of Zhibetsu Town, who had escaped death, huddled tightly together, looking at the cave when they came, for fear that the pursuers would discover this hiding place, and then they would become turtles in urns.

The pro-soldier Zhang Ading looked nervous, and turned his head to stare at the entrance of the tunnel from time to time. I am afraid that this thin earthen wall will not be able to stop the attack of the Vietnamese army.

Guan Dazhuang looked calm, leaned against the door and slowly wiped the blade, and said casually: "Ah Ding, don't worry, the enemy is not so easy to enter." ”

Zhang Ading said: "My lord, it seems that the mechanism at the entrance of this tunnel is not difficult to crack. The Vietnamese army numbered more than 100,000 troops, and with their rudimentary organs and our defense force of less than 1,000 people, they could not withstand it for long. ”

Guan Dazhuang smiled: "You don't understand, what Gu Wen took out that guy is definitely a surprise." We just need to wait for the Vietnamese army to retreat, and then we can go out and continue the harassment and fighting. ”

At this moment, Lou Kai's sword slashed heavily on the steps. The steps are like a piece of soft tofu that has been split in two. The power of the knife gang did not decrease, and it slashed on the ground, cutting a gap seven or eight feet long in the ground.

Then the knife cracked, and with a bang, the earth flew up, blasting the ground into a large boat-shaped crater more than a foot deep, revealing the traces of the civil engineering mechanism under the steps. Apparently an authentic entrance.

It's just that the entrance has been sealed and filled, and there is no trace of a passage.

Lou Kai sneered: "Pretend to be a ghost, fill in the excavated soil and want to hide it from me Lou Kai? ”

Among the returning regiments, there were 5,000 diggers, and 1,000 people were transferred to the scene. Hearing the general's order, they all shouted loudly, put their swords back into their sheaths, took off shovels and hoes from their backs, and gathered around to start digging the ground.

These diggers are all elite warriors, with strong arms and strength. A shovel dug through it, and two feet of dirt was dug up and thrown out of the pit.

Thousands of people worked together, and half of the front yard of the town's mansion was demolished in an instant. The body of the dead boy at the door was also carried aside.

With a pillar of incense, the diggers dug a large pit with a radius of 100 meters and a depth of about 20 meters. But there is still no trace of the legendary tunnel.

Lao Zhao, the leader of the digging army, jumped out of the bottom of the pit at this time and saluted Lou Kai: "General, I have just surveyed, and the ground here has moved soil except for the most superficial two or three meters, and there are traces of organs.

"There was not the slightest trace of excavation below three metres. There are no traces of sigils or witchcraft, and there should be no secret passages here. ”

"However, judging from the method of excavation and arrangement of civil engineering mechanisms, the enemy is also a master of the digger army. ”

Lou Kai touched his bald head and said impatiently: "Maybe it's the other party's skill, or the invention of some method of filling the soil without a trace." Keep digging! Dig out a few other underpass openings. ”

"I don't believe it yet. Thousands of Chu troops, plus tens of thousands of rebels in Zhibei Town, can they still fly away?"

Lao Zhao had no choice but to clench his fists and say, "Obey!" led his subordinates to continue digging, and also divided several teams of men and horses to dig out the secret passage pointed out by Xiao Yi.

More than an hour has passed, and the situation of several other secret passages is the same as here, all of them are arranged with hidden passages on the surface, but there is nothing below three meters.

At this time, the big pit at the entrance of the mayor's mansion was already three hundred meters in circumference, fifty or sixty meters deep. Half of the town's mansion has been gnawed away.

Lao Zhao continued to dig with his subordinates, while secretly shaking his head. Nowadays, few people have gone to such great lengths to dig to this depth. And the bottom is sandstone, and if you go down a little more, you will dig into a hard rock layer.

If the Chu State Digger Army can dig out a tunnel in the rock layer to accommodate tens of thousands of people within a few days, it will not show the slightest flaw. It is estimated that there must be real people in these digging army.

But it's ridiculous to think about a real person like a fairy to be a marmot-like digger army. Lao Zhao shook his head and was about to continue digging.

But I heard a person shouting excitedly: "I have found the tunnel! I have discovered the tunnel!"

Lao Zhao hurriedly jumped out of the bottom of the pit, but saw a young subordinate working on the edge of the pit dancing with his hands and dancing happily. A hole broke through the shallow layer of soil in front of him, revealing a masonry tunnel.

"Is it really here?"

In the dark crypt hall, Guan Dazhuang still looked like an old god, grabbing the barbecue jerky cake and eating the water in the water bladder.

With the commander of the thousand commanders as an example, the sergeants of the plain column of the Chu army also calmed down. Those on duty continued to stick to their posts, and those who were idle began to eat and drink.

A large amount of food and drinking water had already been stored in the crypt, and naturally there were warriors who took it and distributed it to the poor people of Weaving Town. The townspeople were already hungry, thirsty and tired after half a day of killing and fright. The children began to eat the food, and the children slowly stuffed their mouths, forgetting to cry.

For a moment, there was only the sound of chattering and eating in the crypt.

Frowning, Lao Zhao dug a hole in the tunnel with a hoe and buried his head in it.

The young digger who dug out the secret passage hurriedly said: "Zhao Tou, be careful of the Chu army!"

Lao Zhao ignored it, didn't even draw a knife, and disappeared into the deep darkness of the tunnel with a hoe.

In less than half a cup of tea, Lao Zhao came back from the shadows and jumped out of the tunnel.

The young diggers hurriedly stepped up to show their merits: "Zhao Tou, how is it? Is there a lot of Chu army? Fighting is a matter of soldiers, and our diggers are still hiding behind..."

Before the words fell, the back of the head was slapped heavily by Lao Zhao: "What are you shouting about the little ghost head? The trick is bright, can the tunnel where tens of millions of people enter and exit only be so big? This tunnel was used by the former mayor to sneak out to pick up girls, Guan Chujun's." ”

After an oolong, the morale of the diggers of the returning regiment was even lowered. After digging for a while, there was a rattle of hard rock under the hoe. In the end, I gave up.

Lao Zhao pestle with a hoe and posed as a contemplative: "Where did all this tunnel go?

Lou Kai also took on another contemplative posture with a big sword: "The brother-in-law of the city lord who has died, and he can't kill the enemy to make up for his merits, how can I keep my position as a general?" )
