Chapter 25 Hands-on
And so it passed three days, and one night three days later, it was getting dark.
In a pitch-black and dense forest in the north of Hechi County, more than 600 of Zhao Yun's soldiers were hidden in the shadows like night elves.
More than 600 people stood in the shadows in silence, like sculptures.
After a while, Zhao Yun rode the jade lion horse and slowly appeared in the woods, a pair of starry eyes through countless branches and leaves, quietly looking at the head of Hechi County.
I saw that on the north gate of Hechi County, there was a bright light, and I could vaguely see that some candidates were patrolling the city.
"The hour has come, my lord, and we can do it."
Xu Shu, who had stood for a long time, took a deep breath, turned to Zhao Yun and said.
Zhao Yun nodded, and the gentian bright silver spear in his hand was slightly raised and pointed in the direction of Hechi County, and the six hundred soldiers immediately took action.
After a while, several of Zhao Yun's subordinates stepped forward and lifted a huge cloth spread on the ground to set up a tent.
As the giant cloth was lifted, a deep pit was revealed.
A group of Zhao Yun's subordinates looked at the deep pit and couldn't help but be taken aback, and looked at it one after another.
I saw a tunnel lying in the deep pit.
The tunnel in this deep pit is exactly the strange strategy that Xu Shu came up with.
In the past three days, every day at night, Zhao Yun led some of his troops to Linhechi County according to Xu Shu's arrangement.
Keep ringing Mingjin, pretending to attack.
On the other side, Xu Shu used the sound of gold and shouting when Zhao Yun pretended to attack, perfectly covering the movement of digging tunnels, and led a group of soldiers to dig such a tunnel that led directly to Hechi County.
And these days, he has been nervously fighting against Zhao Yun's candidate for attacking the city, and he never dreamed that Zhao Yun had dug a tunnel into the city.
Zhao Yun slowly swept over his six hundred soldiers, and at this time, these young soldiers were already enthusiastic.
"Brothers!"
Zhao Yun shouted and jumped off the horse directly.
Looking at the young faces, Zhao Yun looked excited, waved his arms, and said slowly.
"Whether you can take the whole county of Wudu County or not depends on tonight's battle, I, Zhao Yun, thank you in advance."
After speaking, Zhao Yun bowed down to the six hundred soldiers and bowed slowly.
"I am willing to take Hechi County for the lord!"
As soon as the soldiers saw their lord saluting him, they hurriedly knelt down.
The sound of kneeling broke the night, like the beating of war drums, slamming the hearts of every soldier.
"Yuan Zhi, you go back and prepare hot wine, and when I come back, I must pull you not to get drunk."
Zhao Yun laughed and said to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu bowed to his lord and answered.
"Waiting for the lord to come triumphantly."
"Brothers, kill me!."
Zhao Yun took the lead, holding a torch in one hand, a green sword in the other, and carrying his gentian bright silver spear on his back, and drilled into the deep tunnel in front of him.
Behind him, the six hundred soldiers did not hesitate at all, and followed closely behind Zhao Yun.
Xu Shu watched his lord walk into the tunnel, and then looked at the disappearance of the six hundred soldiers, turned over his horse, and returned to the camp.
"All the soldiers, leave four hundred people to stay in the camp, and the rest follow the division to ambush this group of Xiliang soldiers!"
A group of Zhao Yun's subordinates acted enthusiastically, and more than a thousand soldiers followed Xu Shu all the way to Hechi County.
After half an hour, more than 1,000 Zhao Yun's soldiers followed Xu Shu to the south gate of Hechi County.
One by one, the soldiers were ready to try, waiting for Xu Shu's order to start attacking the city.
Xu Shu rode a war horse and looked at Hechi County in the night, with a ray of essence shining in his eyes.
"Candidate, candidate, I'm sorry, who let the lord of the concubine want to recruit you as a general so much."
In the shadows of the night, a chilling murderous intent quietly rose to the sky.
At this time, in the tunnel, Zhao Yun led six hundred soldiers and hurried through the narrow tunnel.
After a while, Zhao Yun finally led his troops to the end of the tunnel, and several branch roads were branched out here.
Zhao Yun raised the Qingyu Sword in his hand slightly, and the six hundred soldiers behind him immediately understood, and divided into several torrents and walked into various branches.
Zhao Yun led a pawn straight to the middle branch road, slowly digging the soil layer above, and Zhao Yun also began to dig it himself.
After all, Xu Shu didn't dare to confirm that this tunnel entrance was safe, and even Zhao Yun himself didn't dare to guarantee it.
It all depends on Zhao Yun's luck.
According to Zhao Yun and Xu Shu's previous estimates, the depth of the tunnel from the ground is less than a few feet.
Therefore, in order to prevent the candidate's subordinates from discovering the tunnel, Zhao Yun and his subordinates could only dig slowly and carefully.
Because Zhao Yun and the others only dared to dig slowly, a few feet from the ground, Zhao Yun and his subordinates dug for a long time.
Finally, as a faint light penetrated into the tunnel, the hearts of Zhao Yun and the rest of the soldiers rose to their throats.
Xu Shu said that he couldn't be sure where the exit of the tunnel would open, and if he was lucky, it would open in a place with few people, but if he was unlucky, it might be just right, at the feet of the candidate's subordinates.
There was silence outside the tunnels, and no sound could be heard.
Zhao Yun's heart that he had been carrying finally let go, and after confirming that the exit was safe, Zhao Yun and his subordinates boldly dug it up.
After seeing that the tunnel entrance could accommodate one person in and out, Zhao Yun took the lead in climbing out.
As he walked out of the tunnel, Zhao Yun glanced around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one around, he laughed excitedly.
The location of the exit of the tunnel is impartial and opens in an abandoned dwelling.
"Pass my orders, let the other brothers come out of here, and we should start giving the candidate a big gift."
Zhao Yun turned directly and roared into the tunnel, and the soldiers nodded.
After a while, hundreds of soldiers walked out behind Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun looked at his subordinates and nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, most of the defenders in the entire Hechi County were still asleep, and Zhao Yun looked at the county government in the distance and smiled lightly.
Looking at his subordinates, Zhao Yun raised the Qingyu Sword in his hand.
"Go, set me a fire, let's burn this Hechi County again today!"
With Zhao Yun's order, the soldiers behind him scattered and set fires.
At this moment, the rest of the soldiers also walked out of the tunnel and set fire to the county town of Hechi.
The flames were blazing, and in this short period of time, the entire Hechi County seemed to be engulfed by the fire of heavenly punishment.
The roaring fire that rushed to the sky illuminated the entire Hechi County as bright as day.
When the heat wave hit, a group of candidate Xiliang soldiers were awakened from their dreams and ran out of their residences in a panic one by one.
At this time, Hechi County was on fire everywhere, like hell.
