The first thousand two hundred and sixty-four chapters tomb
Chapter 1,264 Grave
Wu Muqing felt it and directly ordered the soldiers to dig through the tunnel.
After a while of digging, a circular gap with a radius of one meter was dug directly in the east corner of Moon City.
"Go, go, go, continue to expand the tunnel exit from behind, quick, quick, quick,"
Wu Muqian glanced around and directly ordered the soldiers who were already ready to rush out, and then ordered the remaining soldiers to continue to expand the gap.
As soldiers jumped out one by one, hundreds of soldiers rushed out in the blink of an eye. They surrounded the entrance of the cave and began to enforce martial law. At the same time, soldiers continued to appear, guarding the entrance and looking in all directions.
As time went by, more and more soldiers rushed out, and their number skyrocketed from a hundred or so to a thousand troops, and the one-meter-wide exit was also expanded to a two-meter-wide one.
"Barbarian King, aren't you going to attack yet?"
Seeing more and more enemies, Darlando frowned directly and spoke to Mrs. Zhu Rong.
"Don't worry, wait until more of them come out. Now the attack will only hurt a few skins. If you hit them, you will hurt them so that they don't dare to use these despicable methods."
Mrs. Zhu Rong shook her head. His Wudang Flying Army still had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. With the trebuchet that had been aimed at it for a long time, he would be unwilling to kill only so many soldiers and horses of the enemy.
Hit and suffocate the enemy to death with a stick.
"promise."
Hearing Mrs. Zhu Rong's words, Darlando frowned. What they have to do now is to defend the city, not to grab any credit. Although they can kill more enemies by doing this,
But there are risks. Once the enemy cannot be suffocated, the city may be in danger.
Mrs. Zhu Rong is both the barbarian king and the commander-in-chief of the Wudang Fei Army. Everyone has decided that he, a captain, is too embarrassed to refute anything.
As the enemy's troops moved out more and more, from 1,000 to 2,000 to 3,000, their defense range became larger and larger, but they did not launch an attack.
Because this number of people is nothing on the battlefield of two to three hundred thousand people on both sides. As long as they are not discovered by the enemy, they will continue to accumulate strength.
"Trebuchet release."
Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Zhu Rong directly ordered the trebuchet to attack.
The five trebuchets had been loaded and ready for a long time. After hearing Mrs. Zhu Rong's order, they directly smashed down the trebuchets. Countless shotguns hit the Kushan army like a heavy rain.
Seeing the shotguns appearing above his head, the captain who jumped out first directly ordered the soldiers to defend.
Shields were placed above his head, and then he ran forward.
Because they were afraid of being discovered by the defenders in the city, they took up positions intensively, and the trebuchets took aim again. As this wave continued, three thousand people were directly smashed down like a large piece of grass.
"Fire the arrow."
Mrs. Zhu Rong gave the order, and the Wudang Feijun who had been prepared for a long time fired thousands of arrows at the Kushan army in panic.
"Rush forward, rush out, if they hold you here, everything will be over."
Wu Muqing, who was in the tunnel, also knew that the other party knew about his secret passage in advance, so he was prepared. If he really couldn't get out and was trapped by the enemy, so many people in the secret passage would be killed.
Wu Muqian jumped out of the tunnel and directed the soldiers to break out.
"No need to attack, just surround them in the middle and keep hitting me with the trebuchet."
Mrs. Zhu Rong's eyes were full of murderous intent, but he knew that he would have the advantage. If he moved forward, the trebuchet would become a decoration.
More than 20,000 Wudang flying troops formed a formation and surrounded the secret passage tightly. The trebuchets scattered bullets like rain above, and thousands of arrows shot out from below. The Kushan army was directly killed and suffered heavy casualties.
Facing such an offensive from the enemy, the Kushan Army was too overwhelmed to get up. It couldn't get out even if it wanted to.
The soldiers outside were killed and injured, and the soldiers inside couldn't get out even if they wanted to. The whole place was in chaos.
With the attacks of several waves of trebuchets, the three thousand people outside were almost dead, but some people continued to rush out, and then they became the result of the useless flying army again.
Wu Muqing was originally on top, but he was forced to jump down into the secret passage again.
"Ebony Muqie, you can't rush out. If this continues, everyone will be killed by the trebuchet."
Bardan frowned and spoke to Wu Muqian.
"Now if we don't rush out and are killed by the enemy, whether they use fire, smoke or water, one of us will die."
Wu Muqian glanced at Baldan. This was the case when walking through the tunnel. If the so-called Qi soldiers were not discovered by the enemy, then they would win by surprise. If they were discovered or even targeted, then the Qi soldiers would die as hard as they could.
"Then what should we do?"
Baldan was also depressed for a while. He couldn't fight again and again, and he couldn't run away. Could he just wait for death in the secret passage?
"Now we can only send people to rush out while the remaining people retreat immediately. Let's take as many as we can."
The current situation is only like this. Some go out to die and delay, while the other part seizes the time to retreat. They can run as long as they can.
"Well, but who goes out to attract the opponent's attack?"
Although what Wu Muqing said is very reasonable, the key now is who will be the one who takes advantage of him and attracts firepower. It is a life-and-death job. Whoever takes over will die.
"Since I am the commander this time, I will naturally do the work of attracting firepower. You only have a quarter of an hour. Where are the guards? Charge with me."
Since he is the commander of this earthwork operation and he came up with this method himself, he can only do the work of attracting firepower by himself.
"Okay, a quarter of an hour, as long as it takes a quarter of an hour, you can retreat directly."
Since Wu Muqing wanted to be a hero, he had nothing to say. He saluted him directly and then retreated behind him with his men.
Wu Muqian did not send all the people out at once, but asked a hundred people to rush forward and die.
"Something's wrong, they're trying to run away."
Mrs. Zhu Rong immediately had a bad feeling when she looked at the soldiers who jumped out of the secret passage to die.
"Um?
How to say?"
Hearing Mrs. Zhu Rong's words, the cave master immediately had questions. He hasn't noticed anything different yet, and the enemies haven't stopped appearing either.
"You don't understand. The trebuchets have stopped attacking. When the flying army moves forward, bring me all the kerosene and prepared fire starters."
Mrs. Zhu Rong did not want to explain to the cave owner, but directly ordered the trebuchet to pause, and Wudang's flying army moved forward to attack the secret passage.
Upon hearing Mrs. Zhu Rong's order, Wudang Feijun moved forward directly and surrounded the secret passage.
"The enemy has reacted and they are coming to kill us."
When the flying army came to kill, someone immediately reported it to Wu Muqing.
"No, everyone will follow me and fight out. They will definitely not dare to use the trebuchet to hit them now. We must stop them and buy time for the people behind."
Hearing that Wudang Feijun was coming to kill Wu Muqing also frowned. He knew that the other party must have noticed it, so he brought people to kill him.
Wu Muqing was considered brave. He jumped out regardless, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and took the lead in charging.
Wu Muyong charged, and the soldiers behind him were also very brave. They jumped out of the secret passage with him and killed Wudang Feijun.
"Fire the arrow."
Seeing the enemy rushing out, Mrs. Zhu Rong became more sure of her idea. They were going to sacrifice some of them to cover the evacuation of the remaining people.
Madam Zhu Rong gave the order and fired countless arrows again, killing a large section of the Kushan army that had just jumped out. Then the army moved forward and directly forced Wu Muqian and the others back into the secret passage.
"Kerosene, pour it inside."
One by one, the fire oil cans were smashed directly along the entrance of the cave, making a crackling sound, and the rich smell of fire oil instantly filled the entire secret passage entrance.
"It's over."
Although Wu Muqing was in the secret passage, he could still smell the pungent smell.
Seeing that the kerosene was successfully poured into the secret passage, a burning torch appeared in Mrs. Zhu Rong's hand and she threw it directly into the secret passage.
"call."
The kerosene was contaminated with the torch and exploded instantly, followed by a violent explosion.
The confined space of the secret passage, coupled with a large amount of kerosene, created explosive conditions. Before Wu Muqian could react, everything along with the soldiers around him were blown to pieces.
The manic air waves passed directly along the secret passage, and a large area of the retreating soldiers was swept down.
Not only were the people in the secret passage swept away, but even a dozen of the Wudang Feijun were sprayed away, and even the city walls trembled.
This loud noise can be said to have overwhelmed the noise of the battlefield. Everyone was stunned for a while, but after a brief pause, they fell into the killing again.
"what's the situation?"
Mrs. Zhu Rong was also stunned. He had no idea what happened just now and why it exploded.
"have no idea."
The cave master who brought him here was also full of confusion, and he didn’t know what the situation was.
"If nothing happens, just dig out the entrance to the secret passage, fill it with smoke, and smoke them first before we talk."
Mrs. Zhu Rong looked at the blasted gap and directly ordered the blasted secret tunnel to be dug out, and at the same time, she pushed away the smoking materials.
One by one, the soldiers rushed over with shovels and dug out the secret passage in a short time.
Countless firewood and wet wood were piled at the entrance of the secret passage, and then torches were lit to start making smoke. At the same time, special wooden boards were used to fan the inside.
The billowing smoke began to roll directly along the secret passage. The Kushan army in the secret passage had just reacted from the explosion when they saw the thick smoke covering the entire secret passage at lightning speed.
"Cough cough cough."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"I can't breathe."
Soon there were countless coughs in the secret passage, and the thick smoke in the confined space had driven out all the oxygen. Each soldier slowly fell to the ground in grief, grabbing his own neck, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Let the water go."
Feeling that the effect of the smoke was achieved, Mrs. Zhu Rong ordered the prepared buckets to be pulled over again and filled with water into the secret passage.
As each bucket fell down, water instantly filled the entire secret passage, like a torrent rushing forward along the secret passage.
"Help."
"The water is coming, the water is coming."
"Run quickly."
After the thick smoke, there was an endless flow of water, filling the entire secret passage with dead bodies. Those who were not poisoned by the smoke were desperate and could only gradually die in the water.
"Jia Tu, fill in the secret passage for me."
After all the tricks had been used, Mrs. Zhu Rong ordered the soldiers to turn over the soil and fill the secret tunnel tightly.
After doing this, she left two thousand soldiers and horses to guard here, and then ordered Wudang Feijun to stand by under the city wall, while she went directly to Jia Xu's side.
