Chapter 365: Tunnel

"What...... ......"

Full of incredulous voices, came from the mouth of Julius Caesar.

For the first time in nearly a decade, this old man has made such a gaffe.

Even when he heard of the invasion of the northern barbarians, he had never expressed such astonishment.

"Yes, Emperor, according to the spies, the Han people have begun to evacuate, and they seem to be ......," said Grand Duke Abrama at this point, and involuntarily paused.

To be honest, even he himself did not believe the news. But he still continued: "They seem to have given up on Wolong City. ”

Looking at Julius Caesar with a suspicious face, Grand Duke Abrama felt a little weak for the first time, and he hurriedly added: "This is just a report from a spy, but I think it's better for us to go and see it in person." ”

"It makes sense, if I don't see it with my own eyes, I can't feel at ease." Julius Caesar strode out, and judging by his actions and demeanor, it was impossible to tell that he was already an old man of about seventy.

Outside the city walls, Caesar's soldiers kept cursing these cunning Han men who only knew about sneak attacks and did not dare to face them head-on, while helplessly packing up their tents that were already full of mud and sand.

Although there were spare tents, there were definitely not that many. It is already foreseeable that in the next few days, some people will definitely be sleeping outside.

I wish I wasn't one of them.

Their fierce gaze was on the majestic wall, and within this wall, it was the master of this catastrophe. For this Han people, their hatred is definitely three points to the bone.

At this time, however, the assembly horn sounded abruptly in the Caesar camp.

Countless warriors wielded their blades, and they ran towards their positions.

Could it be that these Han people came out again, and with all kinds of doubts and hatred, the army of Caesar finally gathered.

However, to their surprise, they received incredible news from their superiors.

fled, and the Han people abandoned the city and fled.

These Han people, who had made them invincible and injured countless people, abandoned their cities like this and ran away like a lost dog.

"Dear Julius Caesar, I'm back." Artuso's tall body came from far and near.

"How's it going?" There was a hint of nervousness in Grand Duke Abrama's voice.

Artuso's gaze met the venerable old man and nodded slightly.

On the orders of Julius Caesar, he personally led people to the east gate and saw with his own eyes the continuous army of the Han Chinese, which proved the news that the spies were correct.

"Did the Han people really abandon the city? What exactly are they trying to do? Abrama said in surprise.

It's no wonder that he is so out of shape, if anyone is him, it will be the same expression.

Even Artuso, who had just returned, was stunned and inexplicable.

After a deep sigh, Grand Duke Abrama asked, "Do you want to enter the city?" ”

In the face of Wolong City, which suddenly became an empty city, the question of whether hundreds of thousands of troops should be stationed in it, made the always resolute Abrama hesitate.

"How's it going in the city?"

"The spies came to report, but they haven't seen anyone yet."

"But what's out of the ordinary?" As soon as Abema asked this sentence, he knew that it was a vain question, even if the Han people had laid some traps, they would never be so easy to find.

Sure enough, his idea was immediately verified: "So far, nothing has been found. ”

Julius Caesar pondered for a while, then suddenly turned around, his gaze looked at the old figure of the Pope, and asked respectfully; "Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter?"

"By the will of the Lord, we will achieve final victory." The Pope opened his cloudy eyes and replied respectfully, but the answer that came out of his mouth was not in the least helpful for the present situation.

Julius Caesar's brows furrowed deeply, if the Han people had no back, and they gave up Wolong City like this, he would not believe it anyway.

However, what is troubling him at the moment is that he can't see what kind of plans the Han people have.

Wolong City, he wanted, but looking at the open gate of this black hole, a trace of bad omen flashed in his heart.

Wolong City, the gorgeous palace that has changed hands several times, has ushered in its new owner at this time.

No matter how much hesitation Caesar had in his heart, in the end, he still gave the order to enter the city.

No one can remain indifferent to the majestic city that is in front of them.

Even knowing that the Han people must have a backhand, Julius Caesar could only give the order to enter the city.

However, he also left a way out, and the soldiers who were actually stationed in Wolong City were only about 100,000 people, and the remaining more than 200,000 remained outside the city.

Unlike the Huns, Caesar's Empire was the most extensive of the three empires.

Their number of citizens is definitely not less than that of the people of the Great Han.

Therefore, they were able to easily draw up enough troops.

No matter what happens inside the city, the 200,000 troops outside the city can be reinforced at any time, which is the biggest reason why Julius Caesar finally decided to enter the city.

In the main hall of the palace, Julius Caesar holds a secret letter in his hand, and an inconspicuous bag is placed on the table. If Zheng Fasen was here, he should be able to recognize that this is the bag that Xu Haitang secretly hid.

At this time, the large army had been entering the city for several hours, and after a carpet search, it was finally determined that there was indeed no one in the city.

In other words, there are no more enemies.

Although the searchers are very dedicated, Wolong City is too big, and if they want to comb through everything without revealing it, it is obvious that it is not something that can be completed in such a short time.

However, even if there are occasional fish that slip through the net, there will certainly not be too many.

Hurried footsteps were heard, and Algernon, with a look of extreme excitement on his face, walked in quickly.

When they saw him like this, everyone knew that he would find something.

"Your Majesty, at your command, we have discovered a hidden tunnel of the enemy in a mansion in the city."

With a long sigh, a relieved smile finally appeared on Emperor Caesar's tense face: "Have you ever explored?" ”

"I've already been explored." Algernon said respectfully: "The exit of the tunnel is ten miles east of the city, and the exit is extremely hidden. If you don't look closely, you're almost going to miss it. ”

"How long has this tunnel been built?" The old man's voice rang out from the Emperor's side.

Algernon didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the Pope, it should be about one to two years. ”

"One or two years, that is, when Xu Haifeng changed the name of the city, he began to dig this tunnel." Grand Duke Abrama silently counted and said.

"Exactly, unexpectedly, at that time, they had already begun to prepare." Julius Caesar sighed: "Xu Haifeng, well, and Jiang Kongming are all people who should not be underestimated." ”

The sound of footsteps came one after another, and Artuso, Ardis and other generals came in separately.

Some of them have stretched their eyebrows, some have sad faces, of course, those cities are deeper, and there are many who are quiet.

Since Julius Caesar entered Wolong City, he immediately summoned all the generals and ordered them to carefully look for tunnels in the city to lead to the outside of the city.

Each general was assigned a lump sum area, and after several hours of surveying, it was finally over.

After some statistics, there are five large tunnels in the city, and all the exits are ten miles away from the east.

At the same time, a number of small tunnels have also been discovered, forming a dense spider web-like passage under the ground.

Due to the urgency of time, the generals simply ordered their soldiers to start the search, while they themselves came back first to report the news.

Julius Caesar picked up the secret letter in his hand and suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the Han people had this idea. Pity...... It's a pity. ”

Many of the informed generals, including the Pope and Abel Ma, smiled knowingly at the same time.

The wishful thinking of Xu Haifeng and others has been discovered by them.

Several large tunnels leading to the outside of the city, if used correctly, can play a role that can definitely make or break a war.

"Since the Han people are coming back, then I will fulfill their wishes."

Julius Caesar smiled and looked at Grand Duke Abrama.

The latter bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely prepare enough gifts to entertain our guests, and I will not let them down." ”

"Algernon." Julius Caesar said with a pleasant face.

Algernon immediately stepped forward and bowed to the order.

"This was once your territory, and it was the place you conquered, and no one knows the city better than you. ......then," he smiled encouragingly at his youngest son, "it is up to you to assist Abel Ma in the task of exploring." ”

"Yes......," Algernon replied heavily.

"Three days, if the Han really intend to attack us from the tunnel, then they will definitely do it within three days. Because if it drags on for too long, this tunnel is very likely to be discovered by us. Julius Caesar's gaze swept across the faces of all the generals, and he suddenly raised his voice and said in a loud voice: "So, cheer up, boys, take up your swords, and let them see what a true Caesar warrior is." ”

"Oh......"

All the generals' eyes lit up, and they shouted in unison, ready to fight to the death with the army of the Great Han.
