"No matter, load the gunpowder now, and you go check the arquebus."

Tie Zhan happily glanced at the tunnel entrance in front of him, which was about six feet high and about six feet wide, and it shouldn't be a problem to fill five or six coffins in such a range.

The same scene also appeared in the other two tunnel entrances, after being discovered by the Guan Ning army, the Jingbei army had to fill the gunpowder in advance, fortunately, the coffin and the fire rope had already been prepared, now only need to fill the coffin filled with gunpowder into the hole in the wall, and then connect the fire rope tied to the bracket into the coffin, this is done.

"Head, there's no sound on the other side, are we going to keep digging forward? Or is it something else? ”

The Guan Ning Army, who was digging in the Guannai, also found something wrong, and it was obvious that the excavation of the tunnel had been detected by the Shandong Army.

"His grandmother's, don't dig it, maybe the people are ready on the other side, once they dig it up, won't they send it up for them to cut, you wait, I'll ask General Zhang."

The Guanning Army, who was in charge of directing the digging of the tunnel, hurriedly stopped his subordinates and turned his head and climbed out of the tunnel.

"If you can't dig it, then fill it with water, you go and report to the military master, and the rest will be dragged to the edge of the city by the general, and today Lao Tzu will drown this group of rats in the Shandong army."

Zhang Guozhu is not a general, after seeing that the Jingbei army stopped digging tunnels, he guessed that the Shandong army on the opposite side might be loaded with gunpowder, and this feeling is getting stronger and bigger.

The water dragon is a fire extinguishing tool made by the principle of levers, and the water column can be squeezed out of the water wheel nearly three zhang high through the push rods on both sides, and the main function is to extinguish the fire.

Zhang Guozhu just wanted to use the strong water pressure of the water dragon to inject the water in the waterwheel into the tunnel, as long as the gunpowder was damp, the Shandong army had no way to detonate the explosives.

More than a dozen water trucks that had been prepared long ago were dragged to the entrance of the tunnel, more than a dozen soldiers skillfully stretched the water pipes made of bamboo tubes into the tunnel, and dozens of Guanning troops began to push the levers hard.

Soon.

Streams of water rushed into the tunnel from the water dragon's pipe, and Wu Jun's tunnel was excavated not long after, and in just a few moments, the tunnel that had been dug only six or seven feet deep was filled.

Thousands of miles of lift, collapse in the anthill, even if the distance between the two tunnels is still a few feet wide, but the water flows to a low place, under the water pressure, the Jingbei army dug the tunnel began to appear in the phenomenon of water seepage, at first it was just a drop of small droplets, only a moment to become like a silk thread like the flow of water, and then the water column became bigger and bigger, more and more urgent.

"Hehe, today Lao Tzu is going to flood the Seventh Army, sons and daughters go to transport water."

In Shanhaiguan, Zhang Guozhu also found that the water level was falling faster and faster, and urged the soldiers on the left and right to speed up with high spirits.

At this time, whether it is Wu Sangui or Guo Zhuangtu or Yang Kun and other generals of the Guanning system, they are all triumphant, and the water level has dropped, indicating that the water has penetrated into the tunnels of the Shandong army, and the gunpowder is most afraid of moisture, and it is impossible for the Shandong army to use the method of blasting and bombing the city.

"your grandma's Wu Sangui,"

Tie Zhan looked at the water droplets on the fire rope connecting the coffin, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"Li Tou, the fire rope is wet with water, what the hell should I do?"

"The water is getting bigger and bigger, and it's too late if you don't leave"

The soldiers of the Jingbei Army who were connecting the leads in the three tunnels looked at the water columns seeping from above and from the front of the tunnels one by one, and they all looked at the general flag and the team officer who were in charge of digging the tunnel.

"His grandmother's, the dead bird is facing the sky, and he will not die for thousands of years, you should retreat quickly."

Iron battle in the middle tunnel, a trace of resoluteness flashed in his eyes, and he picked up the fire gun hanging behind him and aimed it at the four coffins filled with gunpowder, as a senior miner, he naturally knew that this must be the Guan Ning army in the city was pouring water into the tunnel, and he knew that once the narrow tunnel was infiltrated by water, he and his subordinates had no possibility of escaping, at this time, the only way out was to detonate the gunpowder, and his brothers might still have a way to live.

"If it weren't for Dashuai, I'm afraid our brothers would have died in the Zhaoyuan Copper Mine a long time ago, and besides, Dashuai usually eats and drinks well to support us, Lao Tzu's son and younger brother also entered the lecture hall, now is the time for Lao Tzu to repay Dashuai, if the brothers can escape, remember to take care of my wife."

The two team officers in charge of the command on the left and right sides, Li Zheng and Niu San, looked at the dark and long tunnel with the same resolute expression, our Shandong man, talking about a grateful retribution.

"Big brother, let my brother come, if you can survive, remember to burn some paper money for me at this time of year."

Wang Ergou, the leader of the pro-soldiers who followed closely behind Tie Zhan, lit the fire fold in his hand and wanted to rush towards the coffin filled with gunpowder.

"What the hell are you doing, Lao Tzu's father and mother have been dead for several years, and you don't have a daughter-in-law, you have no worries, you still have an old lady in the family, and a son who is less than three years old, if you die, who will give your mother a pension? Whoever will take care of your son, run back for Lao Tzu now, run as fast as you can, Lao Tzu will give you a hundred breaths, and after a hundred breaths, Lao Tzu will let go. ”

Tie Zhan snatched the fire fold in Wang Ergou's hand, and shouted angrily, he was the one who pulled his brothers into the Jingbei Army back then, and now he wants all his brothers to live completely.

"Big brother......!"

"If you don't leave, Lao Tzu will shoot you, don't you even listen to Lao Tzu's words?"

Wang Ergou still wanted to insist, but Tie Zhan raised the arquebus in his hand and aimed it at Wang Ergou, who was still about to step forward.

"Hurry up, Lao Tzu has a way to live, and we won't be able to escape if we don't detonate it."

At this time, Tie Zhan had almost heard the bubbling sound of water at the end of the tunnel, and knew that it would be too late to detonate the gunpowder.

"Big brother......!"

Looking at the resolute iron battle, Wang Ergou stomped heavily, and reluctantly turned around and fled in the direction of the exit of the tunnel, and his two legs stepped on the wooden planks laid in the tunnel. Along the way, I don't know how many torches were inserted in the walls on both sides of the tunnel, and I don't know how many times I hit my head, and I don't know how far I ran, anyway, Wang Ergou has been running and running, and he can't live up to the hopes of Brother Tie Zhan.

Tie Zhan didn't have time to watch how far his brothers had escaped, his eyes were fixed on the water that seeped into the tunnel, and he knew that as long as he shot this shot, he was afraid that he would be buried forever under this dark mountain pass.

"Tick, tick, tick......!"

The water seeped more and more, and the fire rope that connected the coffin was completely soaked, and the bean-sized droplets of water dripped onto the wooden board, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

"Ergouzi, I hope you can live, Wu Sangui, Lao Tzu fuck your ancestor! Your kindness has been repaid. ”

The footsteps behind him had already gone far away, and Tie Zhan knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he said a word in a broken heart, and finally ignited the fire that had been lit and ignited the fire rope connected to the pipe.
