"Commander...it's not that we can't stand up...the enemy general Zhang Liao is too fierce, and the brothers really can't stand it anymore!"
"Captain! Governor! It's not good! General Pan is injured!"
"Don't stop me! I can still fight! Governor...don't listen to them! I can still fight!"
"Oh no, Commander! General Zhu Huan is also injured! He just fell from the top of the city and is now in a coma!"
——
In just half a stick of incense, Zhou Yu discovered something was wrong and then he was bombarded with news from the soldiers.
Just like ordinary people in later generations whose brains are filled with trivial matters, and whose ears are constantly ringing with the ringing of some high-tech product.
The governor went crazy.
“I’m so fucking annoyed!!!”
Zhou Yu yelled like this. Although it did not improve the battle situation, it at least acted as a deterrent to the soldiers around him.
In short, when the people around him calmed down, Zhou Yu's thoughts were still chaotic.
"Who else is on standby in the rear? Recruit them quickly! We can't surrender the battle line to others so easily."
"Where's Zhou Tai! Let Zhou Tai take the lead on Pan Zhang's behalf!"
——
Zhou Yu's hurried operations failed to see the situation in Hefei change in the direction he expected.
On the contrary, as the sun went westward, the Soochow soldiers became more and more tired - of course, the real defeat of Zhou Yu was yet to come.
A total of six tunnels, wide and deep, were dug for a group of Soochow soldiers to stare at the corpses of their comrades. They probably became Zhou Yu's last life-saving straw.
After Zhou Tai was repeatedly defeated by the city wall, Zhou Yu ordered all the soldiers and horses to cover the brigade and wait for the dead soldiers to pass through the tunnel before organizing a complete internal and external pincer attack.
But here's the problem.
For two full hours, since the first batch of Dongwu people who drilled out of the tunnel in the city were wiped out, no large groups of people have passed through the tunnel.
The two sides were fighting on the city, and the same was true below the city.
Because the city wall has been thickened, the length of the tunnel has gradually exceeded five feet——
Each tunnel can accommodate three people abreast - but at this moment, the Soochow people can no longer pass through the tunnel as smoothly as they imagined.
Once corpses start to pile up in a slightly spacious space, no matter how spacious it is, it will not change the problem that it will become increasingly clogged.
For this reason - Zhou Yu again targeted this issue and ordered the corpses to be cleaned up...
This operation must have paid a price, but Zhou Yu didn't think so... As long as we can continue to launch attacks through the tunnel, it will all be worth it.
Then...soon...the Soochow people who attacked from underground experienced the most terrifying blow in the past month and a half.
——
During the fierce battle, the tunnel was extremely dark, probably because the sunlight was no longer strong. Without the illumination of torches, it would be difficult to move forward in the tunnel... not to mention the stubborn resistance of Cao Jun on the other side.
The two people at the forefront of the battle line are the young Ding Fengkan and the old and strong Han Dang.
Ding Feng was quite aggressive, and their inaction in the first battle at Hefei became the reason for Sun Quan to criticize them.
This time the two of them definitely tried their best.
But no matter how motivated they were, even Han Dang went into battle to kill the enemy in person, but things were not as simple as they imagined.
In the darkness, the Soochow people, who had reorganized another wave of offensive, advanced in the dark... They did not bring torches in order to obscure the enemy's perception... However, in the darkness, the smell of bones and fireworks suddenly hit their faces.
Of course the leader was choked and coughed violently without paying attention.
The people at the back didn't feel too much, they just asked symbolically what happened in front of them.
Just this short distance of five feet - the smell of fireworks, then the light... followed by the expansion of the airflow...
Before the man had time to tell the people behind him about his doubts, he immediately discovered that the color of the chain armor on his body had changed.
Chi...a weird sound, accompanied by a tangy burnt smell, the first person didn't even have time to scream.
Then he lost his life while his whole body was burned.
Finally...Cao Jun's trump card appeared.
Zhang Liao has been waiting for this opportunity, waiting for the Soochow people to give up most of their offensive experience on the city wall, and then turn around to the several tunnels like cloth bags under the city.
What Zhang Liao had to do was to wait for the best opportunity, the opportunity to cause the greatest harm to the Soochow people.
At this time, tie the mouth of the bag tightly.
Completely suffocating these people in the darkness——
What we are talking about is the use of the blower box made for the craftsman's workshop.
——
Accompanied by screams.
Zhou Yu raised his head in shock and looked at the tunnel entrance under Hefei City where there was no chance of an accident happening.
There, a man dripping with blood, exuding heat all over his body, and completely out of human form ran rampantly out of the tunnel.
His armor was originally silver, but now it became dark for some reason.
As if he was frightened by this strange scene, Ding Feng mustered up his courage and walked towards the figure who was screaming in pain.
When you get close, you reach out and touch the other person's body.
"You...what's wrong with you? What happened in the tunnel?"
As a result, before he finished his sentence, the confusion in Ding Feng's eyes turned into fear - because his right hand came into contact with the dark mail, just for a moment, Ding Feng howled in pain.
At this time, everyone was attracted by Ding Feng's performance.
what happened?
Before Han Dang could speak, Ding Feng shouted in horror:
"Hot! Hot! It's too hot! He's been cooked! Hurry... let the soldiers in the tunnel evacuate!"
Although they don’t know what they are facing now, their instinct tells Ding Feng that if the people in the tunnel do not withdraw, they will definitely face death——
Sure enough, it was already too late.
Just as Ding Feng said.
Accompanied by a long roar - waves of heat, carrying thick and hot black smoke, spurted out from six crossings at the same time.
Along with the black smoke, what appeared from the entrance were hundreds of Soochow soldiers groping their way through the tunnel.
They screamed in pain, and no one was spared from the burning fire and the smoke.
Everyone was in pain, screaming, and everyone turned into a bloody human being - the temperature of some people's clothes and armor was too high, and even showed a red pattern... The smell of burnt and disgusting cooked meat was irritating.
Everyone’s throat and nose——
They were like meat pigs that had been smeared with oil and roasted in a furnace... When they were ripe, they were spit out one by one by the tunnel.
Where is the complete human being here?
This is simply hell in a frying pan——
The Soochow people with low psychological endurance looked at the tragic situation in front of them, which should not happen in reality. Some lay on the ground and retched, and some passed out and passed out. Of course... these people were actually lucky.
Some people couldn't help retching, their eyes were constantly stimulated by this scene, a sense of despair spread, and they lost their will to fight in an instant.
