The door of the dark passage is really a door, and an adult will not touch his head when he stands and walks. Not only that, but the most amazing thing is that when the water is not rising, the dark passage is more like an underground river, and you can even sail on it.

Rather, in fact, there was actually a small boat parked at the entrance, which could probably carry four or five people at the same time.

Of course, if the army wants to enter the city through this secret passage, it is probably not realistic to take a boat, and can only wade through the water. Fortunately, this is not the season for water, so the depth of the water can reach the knees of adults.

"General, I have already sent someone to investigate the secret passage before, and it is unobstructed all the way, there are no problems, and it can be used at any time!"

Lao Ding's answer made Ma Shuo even more satisfied, it seems that this Lao Ding is really attentive. However, he did not take this lightly, because he was not sure that Lao Ding had no other possibilities. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, in case Lao Ding is a traitor, then if your own people enter the city through the secret passage, they will fall into the trap of the other party.

Fortunately, Ma Shuo also has his own means.

The hidden guard has already entered the layout of Qilian County first. Since Qilian County has long been in the plan, Ma Shuo will of course lay it out early. Therefore, it is not surprising that the hidden guards have infiltrated the city.

In this way, Ma Shuo naturally did not immediately make a decision to let the team enter the city through the secret passage, he needed to wait for the latest information sent by the hidden guards from the city.

The information of the hidden guard arrived very quickly.

No anomalies!

There is no abnormality, which shows that there is no problem on Lao Ding's side. In that case, it's time to get started.

"Leader Lao Ding, you can send someone to lead the way for the army! Let's send people into the city tonight, how many people do you estimate you can get in in one night? Ma Shuo asked Lao Ding.

"General Hui, according to my Lao Ding's estimate, according to the speed of our army, it should be no problem for 10,000 people to enter in one night. Moreover, we can go in both ways, and it is still possible to enter 20,000 people in one night. After thinking about it, Lao Ding gave an answer. This answer naturally made Ma Shuo very satisfied.

"Ordered Captain Liu Harrier of the Huozi Battalion to organize manpower and prepare to enter the city through the dark passage. Captain Shi Chun was instructed to organize all the soldiers of the righteous army camp to prepare for the siege of the city, attract the attention of the barbarians in the city, maintain the rhythm, and try to avoid excessive losses. ”

Immediately, Ma Shuo conveyed the two orders to the captains of the Fire Battalion and the Righteous Army Battalion respectively.

As night fell, at midnight, the city and the city fell silent, and the people who had worked hard all day finally fell into a deep sleep. But, in an inconspicuous corner, a team is gearing up.

Captain Liu Harrier, the commander of the Huozi Battalion, is now in command. Lao Ding, the leader of the rebel army, was standing beside Liu Yao. This time, Ma Shuo did not follow, but brought the guard battalion and the righteous army camp together.

"Captain Shi, give the order!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ma Shuo said to Shi Chun. The task of the rebel battalion is to feint, attract the attention of the other party, and cover for the fire word battalion.

Knock knock!

The drums beat suddenly. In the dead of night, the drum beats are especially loud. Even in the city, you can hear it clearly. All of a sudden, all the barbarians in the city were awakened. Being suddenly woken up at this time is actually a very irritating thing, and people's minds are also groggy for a while.

"The Qin soldiers have attacked the city!"

The barbarian soldiers on duty at the head of the city let out an exclamation, and immediately, the horn of the emergency assembly sounded in the county town of Qilian. For a moment, the barbarians, who had not yet fully sobered their minds, got up from the warm bed, and began to put on their clothes in a mess. If you don't have armor, it's better to say, and if you have armor, you still have to wear armor, which is even more troublesome. For a time, there were barbarians everywhere who were in a hurry.

After a long while, the haphazardly dressed barbarians gathered at their respective posts on the walls.

At the same time, the soldiers of the rebel camp also took advantage of the night to approach the city wall, but after reaching a certain distance, they stopped there and did not continue to get closer.

"Rush! Kill it and take Qilian County! ”

Although the soldiers of the rebel battalion standing there did not continue to advance, their mouths did not stop, and they kept shouting the slogan of the charge, and the formation was exactly like they were about to rush to the top of the city wall.

Such a formation naturally frightened the barbarians who had not yet clearly recognized the situation in front of them, and some timid barbarians even panicked involuntarily.

"Bastard, you have all set up your place for me, whoever moves again, Lao Tzu will chop you up!" When a tribal leader saw the performance of those cowardly barbarians, he immediately roared angrily, and the knife in his hand shook towards those fellows in a daze.

The leader's scolding made the guys quiet a little, and they immediately shut their mouths honestly.

"Archers prepare, attack indiscriminately!"

The tribal leader in charge of the command gave the order to attack. Although it is not clear where the enemy has gone, judging by the sound, the enemy below should have entered the range of the bow and arrow. In this case, the tribal leader had no choice but to give the order to attack, hoping to stop the enemy's attack with random arrows.

"Ahh

Soon, screams were heard below. Hearing such a scream, the leader of the barbarian tribe who gave the order to attack couldn't help but feel a burst of secret joy, fortunately he decisively gave the order to attack, otherwise he would have really let the enemy take the opportunity to approach under the city wall.

"Shoot, shoot them—" The tribal leader became even more agitated.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the screams he heard were actually deliberately made by the soldiers of the rebel camp below. To put it bluntly, it's acting. The purpose of the rebel camp was to create a siege posture to attract the attention of the barbarians, and to make enough movement to cover up the movement that might be caused by the fire word battalion.

There is no doubt that the actions on the side of the rebel camp are still very successful, and most of the barbarians in Qilian County have been attracted to the city wall, and their attention is also focused on the outside of the city.

"Archers shoot freely, target the head of the wall!"

In order to make the siege posture more realistic, Shi Chun, after making the soldiers clamoring for a while, arranged for a group of archers to shoot arrows above the city wall. The position chosen by these archers naturally avoids the range of the opponent's archers' attacks, and their purpose is to convince the barbarians to believe that it is true, so they don't care if they can hit the target or not.

Whoosh!

For a moment, the arrows of both sides were constantly flying in the air, making a whooshing sound.

The barbarians' bows and arrows basically missed. The bows and arrows of the rebel camp rarely fall to the wall, and those that fall to the wall can also shoot a few unlucky guys. However, it was these unlucky bastards who were shot that made the tribal leader even more convinced that the enemy below was about to approach the walls.
