Chen Yue and the generals stared at the routes marked on the map with wide eyes. There were more than ten alternative routes on the map, which must have been carefully selected by Wang Shouren and Shi Lie.

"If we can send in three or four thousand people, the chance of breaking the city is very high!" Chen Yue said with some joy.

Li Batian on the side scratched his head: "This is the first time for me in the Beiliang Army to dig tunnels to attack the city. Although I don't understand much, I know that the location of the tunnel exit is very important. How did you two choose the exit?

"

It's easy to get in but hard to get out. If you dig directly into the Jin Bing barracks, wouldn't it be a loss of life?

Many generals nodded one after another. It was the first time for everyone to face this kind of underground method of entering the city. They were curious and worried at the same time.

Shi Lie replied: "The situation underground will be complicated by then, and the distance cannot be accurately measured, so we will definitely not be able to accurately point out the location of the exit, but it will generally be close to the surrounding city gates, which is convenient for us to launch an attack."

As he spoke, Shi Lie pointed to some locations circled by the people in Tanzhou City, which were roughly the places for exits.

Wang Shouren also echoed: "Most of my soldiers have been to Tanzhou City, so the task of digging a tunnel into the city is left to us two brothers! Then let this golden dog see the blade of my Beiliang Dao!"

All the generals in the tent were stunned. They didn't expect the two of them to be so eager and started fighting before they were completely sure.

Chen Yue thought for a moment and looked at the two men hesitantly: "There are indeed examples in the military books of digging tunnels to destroy the city. Some of them succeeded! But there were also many failures. The tunnels were too narrow. Once discovered by the Jin people, no matter whether they were burned or burned,

Whether it's smoke or water, the soldiers who entered it may have a hard time getting out alive. Have you two really thought it through?"

If anything goes wrong in that narrow tunnel, it could cause the entire tunnel to be blocked, which would mean a narrow escape from death.

Wang Shouren and Shi Lie looked at each other and smiled calmly: "Master Hou, no matter whether they die on the city walls or underground, the thousands of Liaodong men under my command will never complain! Leave this battle to us.

!”

Xin Ji looked at the two ambitious people and said, "Two generals, I have many brothers in the Liao camp who have been to Tanzhou City. Maybe we can enter the city with you."

Zuoqiu also shouted: "Yes! We can enter the city together!"

Chenyue set his sights on Wang Shouren. Since Wang Shouren proposed this plan, he should abide by his opinions.

Wang Shouren smiled and cupped his hands at Xin Ji: "We accept the kindness of General Xin and General Zuo! But my brothers have taken too many detours in the first half of their lives. We don't want to live the days of being scolded by the common people again.

.We need a tough battle to prove ourselves! Even if we die! We will die with dignity!"

Then, under the admiring gazes of Xin Ji and the others, Wang Shouren turned to face Chen Yue and saluted:

"Please Lord Marquis, please grant me your permission!"

Shi Lie also shouted: "Master Hou, please grant me your permission!"

The atmosphere in the commander's tent suddenly became a little solemn. The two brothers who joined the Beiliang Army obviously had the spirit of the Beiliang Army that was not afraid of death.

Xin Ji and Zuoqiu looked a little shocked. They originally wanted to say a few more words, but Wang Shouren had already said it for this reason. How could they have the nerve to speak again? If they spoke again, they would not trust them.

"Okay!" Looking at the two people who had made up their minds, Chen Yue finally made the decision: "From now on, the two generals Wang and Shi will be fully responsible for digging the tunnel! Li Batian mobilized five thousand infantry to help them carry the excavated soil.

.The offensive on the city head will be changed to one attack every two days, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the golden soldiers in the city!"

"promise!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Just when the sad atmosphere in the tent had not dissipated, Shi Lie suddenly grinned and said: "Don't worry too much, I still know the virtues of the Jin soldiers. They may be able to fight on horseback. In this city offensive and defensive battle,

We are their grandfathers! Let us teach these grandsons how to fight!"

"Hahaha!"

Such bold words immediately made everyone burst into laughter.

Starting from the second day, several new camps were built behind the Beiliang military camp, and ordinary soldiers were not allowed to enter.

The five thousand soldiers sent by Wang Shouren and Li Batian began to secretly dig the tunnel, and the excavated soil was thrown far away to avoid any flaws being discovered by the golden soldiers in the city.

Ten tunnels were being excavated at the same time, and although there was a lot of movement underground, no problem could be seen from the ground, except that the trucks of soil being transported revealed something strange.

Tanzhou City

Wanyan Zongcheng and a group of generals were drinking sweet wine to relieve the heat.

There has been no danger in Tanzhou City till today, which is something Wanyan Zongcheng is quite happy about.

"Damn, the Beiliang Army's offensive has finally eased a bit. No matter how fierce they are, they can't withstand the strong sun outside." Tuohamu rarely withdrew from the city and came to the inner city to report the situation.

"You are still effective in defending the city these days. Keep up the good work. When the war is over in the future, I will explain your achievements in defending the city to Marshal Wanyan. By then, the responsibility for the failure of Longhanguan Pass will be wiped off!" Wanyan Zongcheng's face

Said with a smile.

These days guarding the city requires little effort on his part. Wanyan Zongcheng is very satisfied with Tuohamu's performance.

Tuohamu was overjoyed and hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I thank you at the end of the line, General."

Wanyan Zongcheng waved his hand with a smile: "As long as you serve the country wholeheartedly, I will naturally report the merits that are yours!"

"Serve me, Daijin! You will not give up even if you die!" Tohamu shouted.

Losing the Longhang Pass was a serious crime, and it was not an exaggeration to be beheaded according to military law. Now Wanyan Zongcheng's words made Tuohamu feel relieved.

Wanyan Zongcheng raised his glass of wine and shouted loudly: "Everyone, Marshal Wanyan must be storming Jianmen Pass at this moment. Once Jianmen Pass is breached and our reinforcements arrive, all the Beiliang troops outside the city will turn into bones! By then,

Let them know that I, the Golden Man and the Iron Cavalry, are not to be trifled with! Do it!"

"Dry!"

Everyone laughed and drank the wine in one gulp. Tanzhou City has been impregnable for more than half a month, which has made these generals look down on the Beiliang Army.

Outside the city, Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng were emerging from a tunnel with black heads.

The progress of the tunnel was quite rapid. Within two days, two or three miles of ground had been dug out. Thousands of soldiers took turns digging day and night. It was hard not to think fast.

Chen Yue stretched out his hand to wipe the dust off his face, but said with a smile on his face: "The situation is good so far. According to this progress, the tunnel will be dug into Tanzhou City in less than a month!"

"That's right." Chu Yucheng's white robe has turned into a black robe: "Most of the routes laid out by Wang Shouren in the early stage are still feasible."

"Let's go back, let's wait for the good news!" Chenyue laughed and walked out of the camp gate.
Chapter completed!
