Yi Xiaotian's bold words made Cao Cao slightly startled...
"Let's hear the good news first..." Cao Cao asked...
"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Yi Xiaotian laughed out loud. "The good news is that the range and power of this Thunderbolt Chariot are enough to help Cao Cao destroy Yuan Shao's mounds and arrow towers. From now on, Cao Cao will no longer need to use them in his camp.
We are living in panic while holding up our shields! Even if we retaliate against others, Yuan Shao’s camp will probably have to raise their shields and live in panic!”
Ah...just, so relaxed and comfortable?
Cao Cao can understand...
Brother Yi's meaning is very obvious. These thunderbolt vehicles can not only destroy Yuan Ying's archery tower, but also shoot them from a long distance...
It’s simply a must-have weapon for killing people, stealing goods, and beating people’s mentality!
Cao Cao was a little confused. Even though Brother Yi said so, it seemed that the difficult problem had been solved.
But...Cao Cao felt an inexplicable feeling of panic. It seemed that he became very afraid of the so-called bad news brought by Yi Xiaotian.
"Brother Yi? What about...the bad news?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.
"Bad news!" Yi Xiaotian blinked his eyes... "Brother, you are probably still kept in the dark. The most powerful thing about Yuan Shao in positional battles is not the mounds and arrow towers, but..."
When talking about this, Yi Xiaotian deliberately put it off. Seeing that Cao Cao's eyes almost popped out, he spoke with a firm tone.
"It's a tunnel!"
Huo? Digging a tunnel?
Cao Cao was startled... Before he could think about it, Yi Xiaotian's voice continued.
"It is said that an open attack is not as good as a covert attack. Yuan Shao has quite a lot of experience in digging tunnels. He used this trick to defeat Gongsun Zan before... He dug tunnels late at night and quietly penetrated into the enemy's interior, attacking from both inside and outside. This trick was enough for Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao has been defeated!"
"But..." Cao Cao immediately questioned... "If Yuan Shao really wants to use tunnel warfare, then... how can tens of thousands of people dig tunnels silently? Shouldn't Cao's army not be aware of it?"
At this point, Cao Cao knocked on his forehead, with a big question mark between his eyebrows.
No wonder he questioned it. Tens of thousands of people were digging tunnels, so there would definitely be no noise. Besides, what about the soil in the tunnels? It couldn't disappear out of thin air, right?
"Brother Hide, you only know one but not the other!"
Never thought about it... Yi Xiaotian didn't even think about this problem and blurted out directly. "It seems that Brother Bao still underestimates Yuan Shao. Although Yuan Shao has many shortcomings, there is no doubt that he is professional in digging tunnels...
"
At this point, Yi Xiaotian talked about the details of digging the tunnel in detail.
Speaking of which, digging a tunnel is a technical job. You can't dig too deep, nor too shallow. If you dig too deep, it will be difficult to identify the direction, you will be short of breath, and you will lack oxygen... It won't work if you dig too shallow.
It collapses easily and is easily discovered.
But...
These problems were all a piece of cake in front of Yuan Benchu.
You must know that in this world, Yuan Shao is the only one who can achieve the right depth and speed in the field of tunnel digging.
Just a year ago, the scene of digging the tunnel and attacking Gongsun Zan from both inside and outside was still vivid in my mind. Here... it only took a few days, but it was still silent. Even in the end, Gongsun Zan didn't even notice.
Yi Xiaotian talked about a lot of professional knowledge about tunnel digging, and the process of Yuan Shao digging tunnels to completely defeat Gongsun Zan. At the end of the story, his tone became more and more meticulous.
"Brother Hi, you must not underestimate this tunnel battle... The mounds of earth and arrow towers piled up by Yuan Shao are just to attract Cao Cao's attention. His real offensive is underground!"
Speaking of this, Yi Xiaotian did not forget to remind him. "Besides, the soil dug out of this tunnel is just piled into mounds, and an arrow tower is built... It is both hidden from people's eyes and ears, and it is silent. In my opinion, in a few days,
Yuan Shao's tunnel is probably going to be dug! Cao Cao is in danger!"
hiss…
Only then did Cao Cao realize the seriousness of this problem.
Having played together with Yuan Shao since childhood, Cao Cao only knew that he was a "trap", but he never expected that he was so good at digging holes...
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. If what Brother Yi said is true...then...Guandu will be in danger!
With this in mind, Cao Cao immediately ordered Cao Ren.
"Brother Ren... you quickly go back to the camp and report to Cao Cao, telling him to be careful of Yuan Shao's tunnel digging offensive."
ah…
Cao Ren was slightly startled. He could understand that Cao Cao said this on purpose. After all, he wanted to hide his identity in front of Brother Yi!
But the key question is...even if we know that Yuan Shao is digging tunnels? What should we do next? We can't dig three feet into the ground to dig them out, right? This...
For a moment, Cao Ren was confused. He hesitated. He didn't even know how to ask this question.
Fortunately, Cao Cao immediately understood what Cao Ren meant...
Cao Cao turned around and continued to ask questions.
"Brother Yi, if it's true that Yuan Shao is going to dig tunnels as you said, then... how to deal with it? How to find their tunnels? We can't dig deep into the ground because of our own danger, right?"
"Isn't this simple?"
Yi Xiaotian reached out and slashed his arm out of the air... At the same time, he spoke.
"We only need to dig a long and deep trench in front of the Guandu Formation, across the two army positions. Once the trench is dug, we will immediately organize elite troops to prepare in the trench. It doesn't matter if Yuan Shao's soldiers dig over, Cao Jun will
Waiting for work, sitting back and waiting for rabbits... The direct defeat is that with this trench, Cao Jun's side will be guarded by one man, and no one can open it... It can also store water in the tunnel they dug, and it will flood directly, completely defeating Yuan Shao.
This bad intention.”
Ah... Huo, Brother Yi, there's something... in his stomach!
Cao Cao and Cao Ren looked at Yi Xiaotian again, even their expressions became a bit surprised, and their eyes were full of admiration!
My dear, Brother Yi understands people’s hearts well and can only think of a perfect plan. How come he understands this underground battle so well...
Not only did he guess Yuan Shao's tunnel warfare offensive, but he even explained how to deal with it. This is incredible.
Cao Cao felt that if he were Yuan Shao, he would definitely want to cry.
Even if he has Zhang Liang's plan, Brother Yi has a ladder. Every time they face each other, Yuan Shao comes in full of ambition, but before the battle has even started, it seems... the outcome has already been determined!
"Snapped…"
Cao Cao almost heard the sound of Yuan Shao's heart breaking one day in the future. This sound was so ecstatic!
…
Come on, because Brother Yi took Sanmei to change his mood and go hunting.
The most difficult problem on Cao Cao's side, how to deal with Yuan Shao's positional battle, was suddenly solved. Not only was it solved, this thunder chariot and this trench seemed to Cao Cao to have far more effect than he imagined!
For example, if this Thunderbolt Chariot can throw stones a thousand meters away, then... first destroy the earthen slopes and arrow towers in Yuan Camp, and then, if Cao Cao is in a bad mood, he can throw a few stones into Yuan Camp.
A big stone…
I must have felt extremely open at that time...
The words "unforeseen disaster" and the inexplicable and strange atmosphere were about to spread in Yuan Ying!
Repay the other person with his own way...
At that time, my mentality was completely broken. I was at a loss all day, thinking about how to boost the morale of the three armies. Is it Yuan Shao?
hey-hey…
For the first time, Cao Cao felt that Brother Yi's blindly tinkering with the Thunderbolt Chariot was really damaging, and that Brother Yi's trick of "repaying him with his own way" was even more damaging.
besides…
Brother Yi's plan of digging a deep trench, with one person to guard against ten thousand people, completely defeated Yuan Shao's tunnel warfare offensive. This move... is really amazing!
