Chapter 222 flooded tunnel
The Northern Navy camp, the Central Army tent!
"Yun Wang, how many people have come to the camp now? Which tribes are there? "Between King Chi Shu asked with a smile. A few days ago, 20,000 Beihai personal troops had withdrawn from the old camp. The territory of more than ten tribes has now been accepted by the Beihai Army, and it is now his. Suddenly, Beihai King realized that if this continues, he will be the real king of the tribe, not the nominal one.
Sitting opposite the Red Skill of Beihai, drinking the good tea from the south in an orderly manner. Yun Wang said slowly: "In a few days, more than 30,000 people have come here. In addition to those incapable small tribes, seven of the top ten tribes have arrived, and three of them are still moving. I think they may have seen what we mean, and they probably won't come."
Chi Shu's eyes were filled with coldness and said, "Then am I..."
"No!" Yun Wang stopped him and said, "King, although there are seven tribes now, the soldiers from each tribe are only 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers. In addition, the three or five thousand people who were ordered to come before, there are only 7,000 soldiers in one tribe. These soldiers cannot shake the foundation of these ten tribes. It is already great that we can cut seven tribes, and we cannot force everything to the opposite side."
Chi Shu said with hatred: "Top Ten Tribes! Humph, clear them sooner or later."
"However, after half a month, they also suffered more than 10,000 casualties, but Bai County still did not move at all. The Fire Lin Army is indeed extraordinary."
Yun Wang smiled and said, "The soldiers from more than a dozen tribes are attacking in a mess. The Huolin Army, which has a city to defend, is naturally not afraid. However, I think the Huolin Army is not very comfortable. The guards have fired arrows in recent days. I think their logistics are under a little pressure."
"Will that be organized and attacked once?"
"Not for now, follow these guys who are greedy for cheapness. We are all winners if we capture them or not. Let the cavalry responsible for logistics in the rear be prepared, and they may retreat one day."
"You mean, the winter snow is coming soon?" Chi Shu's eyes shrank. Heavy snow was the mortal enemy of the army. Although the food and grass of the Marine tribes had food and livestock, which were different from the Yan State, heavy snow also made logistics extremely difficult. Now the Northern Navy is the basis for merit, and logistics needs to be transported far away. When heavy snow falls, that is when they must retreat.
Yun Wang said in a deep voice: "It's probably only half a month later, but it's not us who should have a headache now, but Anche Gu and Fu Ni." As he said that, he handed over the things in his hand.
When Chi Shu saw the result, his face gradually became serious. After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Huo Lin Army! Not ordinary! Zhao Xun! It's amazing!"
"Yes, this young guy is really powerful, we are not as good as us. However, he is not much better. After all, he is just a soldier commander in the first battalion and does not even have a formal identity. Judging from his behavior, it will be difficult to meet the Yan court and the Youzhou government in the future." Yun Wang said lightly.
"That's right. What he did was indeed a difficult problem to face the Yan court. However, it should not be underestimated. It is indeed rare for this person to take advantage of the situation. I would rather be in a place than staying in a place." Chi Shu said with his eyes narrowed.
"I won't mention him anymore. Those three old guys have been together all day recently. Have you figured out what to do with it?"
"The three old guys can't make a fuss. Every move they make is under surveillance. Whenever there is any movement, his juniors will appear in the siege queue. I think they will not make unwise moves. Besides, the three families and thousands of people are in my hands."
Yun Wang shook his head and said, "Don't be careless, these three old guys are very thoughtful. If it weren't for the fact that there were a few outstanding juniors here, I would have had some changes. As for the thousands of families mentioned by the king, they would have given up long ago."
"Hmph... If you go against me, you won't have a good ending. Before you withdraw, they will no longer exist." Chi Shu will naturally not let it go for the three old guys who had repeatedly disliked him when he was a prince.
In the front camp of the Northern Navy, more than a dozen generals are scratching their heads and ears to attack Baixian. After a few days, nearly 10,000 soldiers were lost, but Baixian was still like a wall and unbreakable. Including the number of deaths in the Northern Navy in the early stage, Baixian City, a roadblock, has swallowed more than 20,000 soldiers. The land under Baixian City is probably invaded by blood. The black smoke burning the bodies is circling over the sky for several days, as if the souls who died in battle are unwilling to leave...
"I think we should attack from the underground now, dig out a tunnel and break in," said a bearded general.
"One one doesn't work, at least two are needed. Otherwise, you will just attack the city in a daze and command the soldiers to sacrifice their lives. Dig out two, and even if one fails, the rest can still enter Baixian and break through Yanzhou Prefecture." Another person also said.
"What does General Hapur think?"
Everyone looked at General Hapur sitting on the main seat. General Hapur was a confidant of King Chishu of North Sea and was responsible for the siege.
Habul naturally knew what the king meant, and asked the generals of these tribes to fight against the Huolin Army. He smiled and said, "In the past half a month, our army has failed repeatedly. This tunnel attacked the city, so it might as well try it. No matter which tribe takes the lead in the Bai County, one-quarter of Yanzhou Prefecture will belong to that tribe in the future."
When the generals heard this, their eyes became hot and they said in unison: "Our troops go dig the tunnel."
Seeing that all the generals were competing for merit, Habul said, "Since everyone is going to enter the ground, then everyone will do their own things. Whoever enters the city first will rely on their own skills!"
…………
"Sir! Today, the Northern Navy's attack has become much smaller, and it seems that it has no intention of fighting hard." Lin Luo said to Zhao Xun who came to patrol. For half a month, Zhao Xun has been relieved to hand over the city to the generals, and at the same time has been constantly training the soldiers of the former government. The Northern Navy has been attacking the city as usual, and the Huolin Army has been guarding the city as usual, completely like a drill, and according to the script, but today it seems that the momentum has become much smaller.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "It's not good if the momentum is low. Do you want the North Navy to come in?"
Zhao Fei smiled and said, "The Northern Navy is less powerful and the soldiers are much bored. The current Northern Navy siege is completely training for the soldiers. Does Captain Lin feel that he has killed less and earned less rewards, so he is not enough to drink?"
Lin Luo laughed and said, "I am still a little uncomfortable if the North Navy doesn't come, but I think they are definitely thinking about some strange tricks. In the past half month, the North Navy outside the city has been using all the tricks out."
Zhao Fei said: "Our soldiers can adapt to their methods. The more they have, the greater the speed and space for the soldiers to grow. On the battlefield, the soldiers' progress is much greater than simple training."
Sure enough, at night, when Zhao Xun was patrolling as usual, Lin Luo hurried over and said anxiously: "Sir, there is something wrong with the Northern Navy."
"Oh? Go and have a look!" Zhao Xun climbed up to the city wall and looked in the direction Lin Luo pointed out, and found a little vague light. He listened carefully to the movement in the darkness, and soon heard the sound of shovels floating in the cold wind.
Lin Luo said fiercely: "Sir, the enemy wants to dig tunnels. It seems that they also know that there is no way to deal with our heavy armored soldiers on the front. This time they want to be ground rats and attack from the ground."
Qin You said worriedly: "Sir, let's dig horizontal tunnels in the city! Be the first to block the enemy's tunnel!"
Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said lightly: "There is no need now, it's still early. We arrange the soldiers to rest, recover their physical strength, and replenish their supplies normally. Let them go to work first. It's not a long distance of five or six days, so we can't dig the city."
Qin You thought about it for a moment and Zhao Xun was absolutely right. The Northern Navy could not dig under the city wall in a few days.
Zhao Xun said it was okay, but it did not mean that he really did nothing. After going down the city, he immediately ordered Zhao Fei to dig a few wells near the city wall, pay close attention to the enemy's tunnel location, and see where the tunnel of the North Navy reached. Afterwards, Zhao Xun ordered the baggage camp to bring a large amount of firewood and fire-induced objects. Qin You and Zhao Fei immediately understood that Zhao Xun wanted to use the smoke method.
"It's a pity that there is no moat outside Bai County, otherwise, these bastards would be drowned." Zhao Xun sighed.
"By the way, dig a small passage from the river in Xicheng, connect it directly, pour it in, and drown these ground mice."
Three days passed quickly, and the Huolin Army soldiers in the city could not hold back. They were all worried and kept paying attention to the water level of the well, fearing that the Northern Navy would suddenly emerge from the ground. If the enemy digs a tunnel and suddenly drill out, it would bring a fatal blow to Baixian City, especially when it is late at night.
On the fourth day, Zhao Fei reported: "Sir, the soldiers are a little worried that the tunnel of the North Navy may have been dug outside the city wall. Some soldiers put their ears on the city wall and could hear the sound of the Huaixi Army digging holes underground."
Zhao Xun said: "How is it? Are there any authentic tunnels in the place?"
"According to the old people's methods, it has been confirmed for seven days, so there should be no error."
"Let the soldiers of the frontier army and the soldiers of the baggage battalion act, dig outwards, and kill these ground rats to death."
So, the soldiers in Bai County also began to act and dig outwards at the guessed tunnel location. The sound of shovels continued to be heard. Gradually, the soldiers of the Huolin Army could even hear the sound of shovels opposite.
"Listen, why does it seem like there is another voice on the other side? Could it be that the Huolin Army in the city is also digging tunnels, right?" A North Navy soldier frowned and said to the brother beside him.
"You are stupid, why are the Huo Lin Army digging its own tunnel? That way, the tribe next door should be dug. Everyone should be quicker and take the lead in siege. We can indulge in three days, money, Han women, whatever they want!"
"Click..."
"Digging...ah..." A North Sea soldier suddenly found that the tunnel in front of him had been dug through. Strangely, he had not dug upwards, how could he dig through? Before he could react, a few crossbow sounded out, and then his chest hurt and he felt nothing.
"Sir, this one has been dug through!"
"Set the fire and smoke them for me! Fever all these ground mice to death!"
"Ahem...Where did the smoke come from? What's going on?"
"Hey! What's going on before?"
Suddenly, smoke started to rise from the tunnel, and the soldiers of the North Navy who were in the tunnel burst into tears and cursed.
"General, look, why are there smoke in the tunnel?" General Kerr's army saw a faint smoke rising from the passage dug by his tribe. He immediately cursed with anger: "Damn it! The tunnel was discovered by the Fire Lin Army, please let the soldiers come out. At that time, the Fire Lin Army smoked them with fireworks in the city!"
Before he finished speaking, a piece of water vapor appeared in the tunnel. Soon, a puddle floated in the tunnel, and then slowly rose.
"General... General, look!" A soldier pointed to the tunnel with a bad expression, and several corpses appeared from the entrance of the tunnel.
"Damn it! We failed! I don't know which tribe was the first to dig in!"
"Report! The authenticity of the Bora tribe was also flooded..."
"Report! The Dayang tribe also failed..."
Then the tunnels were flooded one by one, which made the general of the Cole tribe relax and said to himself: "Fortunately, they all failed. It seems that no one can enter yet. But when he thought of the fact that he had been busy for several days, he had not found anything and hundreds of people died, he was angry.
Hapur, who received the information, sneered: "Didn't one of them succeed? I knew that if it was so easy to get in, we wouldn't let you attack the city. Want to get one quarter of Yanzhou Prefecture? Idiot!"
Not long after, more than a dozen generals came to the tent of the former commander in a gray face. Hapur pretended to be surprised and asked, "Generals, what's wrong? Why don't you dig tunnels?"
