Chapter Twenty-Seven: Countering the Attack!

What cruel means such as blocking, smoking poisonous smoke, pouring water, pouring gold juice, etc.

But Hu Yiba scared them a lot.

Whatever the means, as long as it is encountered, it is certain death.

Zhu Qiwu told them that in order to avoid these situations, they must dig the tunnel as fast as possible!

As long as the defenders of Haozhou did not have time to react, Hu Yiba and these tomb robbers could avoid being killed.

So now in the face of Zhu Qiwu's rest, Hu Yiba and others are a hundred reluctant.

"Haha, well, in that case, I can't treat you badly!"

Zhu Qiwu was very satisfied with the 'positive attitude' of Hu Yiba and others.

He said to Zhou Dexing next to him: "Brother Zhou, let the leader soldiers add meals to Hu Yiba and them, and get all the chicken, duck and fish!" ”

"Great!" Zhou Dexing went to do things.

When the fragrant chicken, duck and fish meat were delivered, Hu Yiba and others still did not stop work.

They took turns to go into battle, eating and drinking while resting, and then went in again to dig until they could no longer do anything, and only then did they climb out and sleep wrapped in a bunk at the entrance of the cave.

Early the next morning.

Wang Tianba, the deputy general of Haozhou, began to observe the movement of the Red Turban Army outside the city to dig tunnels.

"Well, these thieves, I'm afraid they rushed to work overnight last night, otherwise the surrounding soil can't be so new!"

Wang Tianba's eyes have good eyesight, and he can see the difference at once.

Even so, it's still far from the root of the city wall.

After all, the Red Turban Thieves hadn't started to prepare any log masonry yet, and there were still at least two or three days to do before the city walls.

"Come on, find a big water tank, and bury it under this section of the city wall!"

Wang Tianba pointed to the city wall under his feet with his hand, and then continued to command.

"Go to the city again to collect fifty strong men, let them bring their iron pickaxes, and come here to stand by at any time!" Vice Adjutant General Wang Tianba ordered.

He thought about it for a while, and decided that it was better to play it safe, and first prepare the listening tank and the people digging the deep ditch.

Just as Wang Tianba, the deputy general of Haozhou, began to prepare for the counterattack, Zhu Qiwu outside the city also got good news.

"Master Jun, we're almost done digging!" Hu Yiba said happily.

"What, so fast? Are you sure? Zhu Qiwu couldn't believe it.

According to his original estimate, it would take two days to dig a tunnel that could transport the coffin inside.

"Don't worry, I dare to take a head guarantee!" Hu Yiba is very sure.

"You've found your right position, don't dig under the city wall by then!" Zhu Qiwu was still a little uneasy and asked.

"Master Jun, at most half an hour, you can dig directly below the city wall!"

Hu Yiba, these tomb robbers, are very good at surveying mountains and fixing caves.

Even the tombs underneath without references can be kept to the ground, not to mention the huge city walls on the ground.

"Okay, let's start transporting the coffin!" Zhu Qiwu nodded and said.

Hu Yiba and they are worthy of professional tomb robbers, and they actually have special tools that can transport coffins in narrow tunnels.

More than an hour later, the tunnel requested by Zhu Qiwu was dug up, and the coffin prepared was also transported.

The last crucial step left was to fill the coffin with gunpowder and arrange the leads.

Whether or not you can break through the city wall of Haozhou depends on this crucial last step.

Zhu Qiwu was not worried about others to fill the gunpowder, so he decided to go himself.

"No! Too dangerous! ”

When the elder brother Zhu Chongba heard this, he immediately stopped Zhu Qiwu.

It's a very dangerous tunnel.

Even if there is no destruction by the defenders of Haozhou, once there is a landslide, it will be a dead end.

How could Zhu Chongba let Zhu Qiwu go to drill the tunnel.

"Brother, this last step, but the success or failure of the relationship, if I don't go, if others mess up, it will be in vain!" Zhu Qiwu said ruthlessly.

All his gunpowder is only enough for two coffins, and he doesn't worry about others at all.

Zhu Chongba understood the truth, but he did not let go at all.

"We said no, we just can't! Even if it doesn't work, think of another way! Zhu Chongba gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiwu's heart warmed.

He understood very well that this was because Zhu Chongba was afraid that he would make a mistake, and would rather risk failure than let Zhu Qiwu take risks.

However, after all, this is related to the success or failure of the battle of Haozhou.

Zhu Qiwuyi said again that he would be very careful!

And let Hu Yiba swear by the gambling curse to ensure the absolute safety of the tunnel.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Chongba finally nodded worriedly in agreement.

Zhu Qiwu didn't dare to delay time, and immediately followed Hu Yiba into the tunnel.

The narrow tunnel can only make people move forward, and they will bump into it if they look up slightly.

Enduring the darkness and stuffiness, Zhu Qiwu didn't know how long he had walked, and finally came to the place where the coffin was parked.

The gunpowder had already been delivered.

"Pour it all in!"

Bags of gunpowder finally filled the entire coffin.

Zhu Qiwu smeared and checked, and then placed two long fuses.

With the two fuses being drawn, Zhu Qiwu commanded Hu Yiba and others to seal the coffin with the prepared bricks and soil.

Today's coffin is tightly sealed under the city wall of Haozhou.

When Zhu Qiwu just emerged from the tunnel, a pair of big hands dragged him out.

"Seventy-five, why did you come out!"

The elder brother Zhu Chongba's eyes were red, and he was obviously in a hurry.

Zhu Qiwu smiled, "Brother, it's done, just wait to enter Haozhou!" ”

At this time, Hu Yiba and others also came out of the tunnel one after another.

Zhu Qiwu confirmed it again, and the coffin filled with gunpowder was sealed and solid.

"Seventy-five, what should we do next?"

Zhu Chongba asked anxiously on the side.

To be honest, it was the first time that Zhu Qiwu had implemented such a thing as blasting the city wall, and in the next step, he didn't know what to do except light the fuse.

Zhu Qiwu thought about it seriously for a while, and then said.

"Brother, let the whole army take fifty steps back!"

Since it is a blasting city wall, it must be very powerful, and all kinds of rocks are absolutely indispensable, so it is better to be far away.

"Good!"

When Zhu Chongba heard this, he immediately shouted.

"Listen to my order, the whole army retreats fifty steps!"

With the sound of a gong, thousands of Red Turban soldiers retreated fifty steps in unison.

Zhu Qiwu also took this opportunity to light two fuses.

This lead rope is wound with gunpowder, and wrapped with a tarpaulin to prevent moisture, which can be described as a double insurance.

Zhu Qiwu lit the fuse, followed and quickly retreated.

This series of actions, in the eyes of the defenders of Haozhou City, was quite strange.

First, a group of people surrounded the entrance to the tunnel, and then there was a lot of waiting.

In the end, the thief army actually retreated more than fifty steps.
