A look of surprise flashed across Wang Xuanmo's face, and he turned back to look in the direction of the military tent pointed by Zhuge Changmin. He saw an inconspicuous depression in the southeast, and more than thirty military tents, which seemed to be rising.
The sergeants running back and forth, carrying sandbags one by one, threw them towards the carts outside the camp, while the civilian workers guarding the carts quickly pushed these sandbags and earthbags towards the carts.
Coming to the front, it looks like it is providing cover for the heavy armor troops attacking the city, but only here can we see the source of the soil, which is the subtle point!
Wang Xuanmo suddenly realized: "Oh, brother Changmin wants to use the underground attack method and dig tunnels to attack the city?"
Zhuge Changmin laughed: "Scribe Wang is thinking exactly the same thing as me. In this five-element siege strategy of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, metal is the force attack like we just did, and wood is the car attack like Nancheng.
, the water part refers to either flooding the city with water, or cutting off the city's water source. The old monster in black robe in Guanggu City is very good at guarding against this, and we can't use it. As for the fire attack, Brother Jinnu is also there.
We have used it in Nancheng, and the defenders in the city also have fire attack artifacts such as black demonic water, which are not our specialty. After all, the only way to use it is this earth attack method."
Wang Xuanmo said sternly: "In earth attack tactics, you can use earth mountains, which are higher than the city wall, and shoot them from a high position. You can use earth sacks and sandbags, pile them into a fish beam road, and go up the road to attack the city. You can also use this cave warfare method. It's just that.
, there are three outer trenches in front of Guanggu City. Our army failed to attack the city several times, and the trenches were filled with corpses. At that time, the military discussed that this kind of authentic warfare method could not be used."
Zhuge Changmin sneered: "But a few days ago, the black robe asked us to use military rations in exchange for cleaning up the corpses outside the city, and we also took the opportunity to fill in the trenches everywhere? The flat trenches here in the East City were laid out by me.
.At the time of the initial siege, Dongcheng was commanded by me, and my men suffered the heaviest losses. It was only natural that I should take care of it. Do you think I will only conserve my strength? Hey, to preserve my strength, I
Why are you working so hard in one charge? Secretary Wang, we are soldiers. Soldiers always want to win and strive for the greatest contribution. The only difference is that we have to consider the price!"
Wang Xuanmo sighed in admiration: "It seems that famous generals are famous generals. Brother Changmin has been able to dominate the world for twenty years and fight thousands of miles from north to south. It's really not surprising. I really didn't come here in vain today. That said, at that time
Have you made up your mind to attack the city in this cave?"
Zhuge Youmin smiled and said: "Yes, when we were in the trench, including when we were transporting back the bodies of the soldiers and digging pits for burial, we hired miners who were proficient in soil engineering and even tomb robbers to carefully inspect the soil.
Analysis. You must know that my eldest brother is the contemporary Xiao Mengchang. There are people with all kinds of magical powers in the house, and there are also many people who are gold diggers and tomb robbers!"
At this time, a gray-headed, mud-ball-like thing came out less than three feet away from the long perimeter where Wang Xuanmo was. A piece of turf flew directly up and splashed on Wang Xuanmo's body, which frightened him.
He staggered and almost fell off Changwei. Wang Xuanmo was so frightened that his soul came out of his body. He closed his eyes and shouted wildly: "My life is at risk!"
A powerful arm caught Wang Xuanmo, causing him to feel a sudden tightening on his waist, and his falling figure could not be held up. He opened his eyes and saw Zhuge Limin grinning towards him.
With a smile, accompanied by big yellow teeth and a tone that clearly showed that he hadn't brushed his teeth for three days, he said in a buzzing voice: "Scrivee Wang, stand still, don't fall. If you are going to fall, with your small body, you can just follow
Just like my brother Tang Fang."
He mentioned Tang Fang originally as a joke, but suddenly his eyes turned red and he couldn't continue. With a wave of his arm, he helped Wang Xuanmo up, turned around and left.
Wang Xuanmo felt ashamed, and turned to look at the man who appeared on the ground in one side. He was only five feet tall, but he had a beard. He looked three-quarters like a human and seven-quarters like a mouse. He was obviously not a child.
But a dwarf. Gu
Zhuge Changmin smiled slightly: "Hu Jiujiu, how is the digging going?"
Having said this, he smiled at Wang Xuanmo: "This man's name is Hu Jiujiu. His family has a family tradition of digging graves. When he followed Tianshi Tao to cause trouble, he also went to Wudi to dig the graves of many wealthy families. After Tianshi Tao's defeat,
, he was captured by me, and I cherished his talent for digging and digging, so I took him under my sect. I also helped him deal with many wealthy families to appease their anger. From then on, he gave up his allegiance to me and became mine."
Wang Xuanmo's eyes lit up: "Hey, is this the famous Captain Hu Jiujiu?"
The dwarf grinned: "Yes, I am Hu Jiujiu, but if even you, a Qingzhou scholar, know my name, it will not be a good thing for me."
Zhuge Youmin said: "When we were building Yi in Jingkou, we were preparing to attack the governor's office in Liyang with a tunnel to assassinate Diao Kui, the governor of the puppet Chu regime at that time. It was the tunnel dug by Hu Jiujiu. Everything was going well, but we never thought that the news would leak out.
We are all captured."
Zhuge Limin calmed down his emotions at this time, turned around, and said angrily: "You are digging a tunnel with your three-inch inch against the ground. It is only suitable for a drill with your body shape. Last time in your tunnel, I almost missed it."
You're stuck, brother, I'll tell you the truth, I won't go to that tunnel this time."
Zhuge Changmin's eyes flashed coldly: "Last time, we only had tunnels to attack this way. This time is different. Although we said we were going to attack the city through tunnels, we still needed bluffing from other directions as a cover. This time we attacked the caves.
City, Hu Jiujiu, you lead your disciples to attack the city, then use wooden stakes to support the city wall as we planned, then apply grease and tie it with long cotton strips. After returning to the original place, burn these long cotton strips.
Ignite the wooden piles, so that when more than twenty wooden piles are burned out, this vast and solid city wall will undoubtedly fall!"
Hu Jiujiu smiled and nodded: "We have reached the last step. My more than 200 men should have dug under the roots of the city wall by now, and they should be at the tree stumps by now. I came here to give you the good news first.
Yes, if the city wall really falls down like this this time, I will be the first to get there. This is what you promised, Brother Changmin!"
Zhuge Changmin smiled slightly: "That's right, I said that because of the merit of being here first, you can dig the tombs of the Nanyan royal family and nobles within a hundred miles of Guanggu City! Everything inside belongs to you.
!”
Hu Jiujiu let out a burst of laughter: "Brother Changmin, remember your words, I will come back as soon as I go!"
