c_t; Fang Ruitao waved his hand, and the officer in charge of this place walked over quickly, and when he walked beside him, he immediately saluted and said, "Lord Fang, you are here, I don't know what is going on?" At this time, in Amadeira City, Katerina had already entrusted him with the city defense work, which made all the officers obey him. The results of the pen & fun & pavilion in the past two days www.biquge.info also made Fang Ruitao get the sincere support of these officers, so they were very attentive to Fang Ruitao.
Fang Ruitao said: "Did you hear any movement?"
The officer immediately nodded: "I just heard it, I really want to go over and report." ”
"Is there any movement?" Fang Ruitao immediately came to his senses, and he asked eagerly: "Hurry up, take us over to see where there is any movement." Ryan followed Fang Ruitao in confusion, and the two soon came to a large vat, and the officer pointed to the vat: "Your Excellency, this is it, I just heard some faint movements." ”
The soldier who was listening in front of the vat quickly got up and saluted Fang Ruitao: "My lord, the little one faintly heard some sounds two minutes ago, and it was confirmed that it was indeed the sound of a pickaxe digging the soil, and now the sound is getting louder and louder, and the two people next to him also heard a faint sound. ”
Fang Ruitao nodded: "It seems that this is the place, immediately order someone to dig a horizontal ditch in front of these three big tanks, the ditch should be one meter wide and twenty meters long, and it should be dug at least five meters deep." There is also something to have a commando team on standby, ready to be applied, and the others must not slack off, the enemy cannot only have this one point of attack. The officer immediately answered the order, and immediately went to call for men, and soon a group of young men came here with pickaxes, and they threw off their arms to dig up the earth. (
Listening to Fang Ruitao's strange order, Ryan was a little confused, and he asked curiously, "What are you going to do?" Why are you digging a ditch. ”
Fang Ruitao smiled: "Take a good look, you will soon know what is going on." Fang Ruitao took the curious Ryan to patrol back and forth under the city wall, and seven more soldiers in charge of surveillance heard the movement, and soon a new horizontal ditch began to be dug.
Civil construction was carried out in the city, and horizontal ditches were excavated, and the long tunnels of the Durrants outside the city were in their final stages. According to the estimation of the soldiers digging at the front, they were already close to the bottom of the city walls. Babot was overjoyed to hear the news, and ordered his soldiers to widen the innermost part of the tunnel so that more soldiers could enter.
There is a limit to how wide the tunnel can be dug, and if it is expanded indefinitely, there is a high risk of collapse. Therefore, the Durrants finally selected a large number of warriors, and together with the remaining soul masters from the battle just now, they formed an attack force. In order to maximize the results, they immediately stopped digging the tunnels and waited for the night to come.
Fang Ruitao and Ryan squatted under the city for most of the day, but the sound of digging tunnels disappeared, and the angry Fang Ruitao was on fire, and finally he gave up. The other party stopped digging the tunnel, most likely in order to wait until after night to launch an attack, so as to catch them off guard, so Fang Ruitao had to go back and wait first.
As soon as it was dark, Babante, who couldn't wait, anxiously urged the soldiers to resume digging immediately. Those Durrant soldiers who were squatting in the tunnels exerted their strength, and quickly dug into the city, seeing that they were about to reach the distance that they could attack, a large number of warriors and soul masters began to enter the tunnels, and they squatted in the tunnels, waiting for the order to attack.
After dark, Fang Ruitao also returned to the city, and he walked around those horizontal ditches waiting for news. Soon the soldiers who listened heard the familiar sound of digging again, and after receiving the report, Fang Ruitao immediately became energetic, and he knew that the two sides would soon engage in battle.
A Durrant soldier who was half-squatting in the tunnel, desperately digging the earth with an iron pickaxe, suddenly felt a light on his pickaxe, and a bright light appeared in front of his eyes. Thinking that he had dug into a well, the soldier excitedly expanded the hole and shouted to the back, "Come here, we have dug through, and we can attack." Hearing the shout, those warriors and soul masters rushed towards the exit.
The soldiers who had been watching outside saw the soil layer on the cross-section of the ditch move, and the tip of an iron pickaxe was exposed, and they were also excited, and soon entered a state of combat readiness. Seeing that the hole was expanding rapidly, a group of commando soldiers immediately threw dry wood and some miscellaneous things into the bottom of the pit, and at the same time poured a small amount of lamp oil, and when the hole was already large enough to drill out people, a soldier with a torch directly lit the fire.
With the help of the oil, the bottom branches quickly burned, and when they ignited the debris above, a thick smoke billowed out, and the surrounding warriors used the fans in their hands to fan the wind desperately to guide the smoke into the tunnel mouth.
The Durrants in the tunnel didn't know what was going on, and suddenly they felt a flash of fire outside the tunnel, followed by billowing smoke pouring in, and they immediately coughed. The tunnel was already narrow, and a large number of masters were gathered in order to attack, and when the smoke poured in, these people immediately scrambled, not knowing what to do.
It was already completely dark, and with the smoke billowing from the tunnels, visibility was close to zero. Unable to see in a panic, the Durrants could only stumble around, but the vigorous exercise required a lot of oxygen to support them. Thick smoke filled the tunnels, draining the already thin oxygen, and they couldn't breathe any oxygen at all.
Those warriors and soul masters who could be regarded as masters in the army anywhere ran out of oxygen in their bodies under the chaotic collision, and they fell to the ground one after another in suffocation, and were soon choked by the smoke and suffocated. In a short time, the tunnels were dug through the horizontal ditches used for defense, and the Durrants in each tunnel were devastated, and the warriors in the city of Amadeira killed a large number of Durrants' soul masters and warriors without a single soldier.
Baban was waiting in the barracks for good news, when an officer suddenly ran in out of breath, and howled as he ran: "It's not good for adults, it's bad for big things, it's dead, all dead." He shouted intermittently, unable to express even the full meaning.
"Tell me clearly, what's going on?" Babet frowned, disgusted that his men were so out of shape.
The officer gasped for two breaths, and then replied in detail: "My lord, it's not good, there is billowing smoke coming out of the tunnel, and there is no human voice in it, it seems that all of our people are dead." ”
