Here is a hillside of more than thirty feet, which is very barren, with no lush vegetation and mostly rocks.
Under the soft moonlight, more than ten figures were rushing towards the hillside.
The leader held a torch in his hand, but instead of walking with the torch high, he lowered the torch as low as possible to illuminate the ground, and then gradually walked forward.
The person holding the torch is Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Ren and Lu Meng followed Zhang Xiu. Behind Lu Meng were eight soldiers from the Langya Battalion. A group of eleven people were looking for the underground passage Zhang Xiu mentioned. Zhang Xiu knew that there was such a place in Wancheng, but did not know the details.
The detailed address was because he also learned about the underground passage from other people's mouths. He only had a vague answer and had to look it up carefully on site.
Zhang Ren followed Zhang Xiu and asked in a low voice: "Brother, this hill is barren and full of hard rocks. I'm afraid it won't be easy to dig a tunnel down there!"
Zhang Xiu shook his head and said: "Junior brother, it is precisely because there are rocks everywhere here that it is possible to dig a tunnel."
Zhang Ren couldn't react and asked: "What?"
Zhang Xiuxiao said: "The hard stone can ensure that the tunnel is stable and will not collapse easily, so that it can support a wide enough road. The place we are looking for must be correct. If we look carefully, it will definitely be nearby."
Zhang Xiu was very convinced and full of energy.
If we can enter the city from the tunnel, we can cooperate with the inside and the outside, but Liu Bei will definitely be defeated.
In this way, he can achieve great success easily!
A group of people searched carefully on the hillside. The eleven people searched almost in a carpet-like manner, gradually from the outside to the inside, not missing a suspicious place.
Suddenly, Lu Meng straightened his body, pointed forward, and said: "Look, there is a hole ahead!"
Lu Meng pointed to a place halfway up the hillside. There were weeds growing there, covering the entrance of the cave. But with Lu Meng's eyesight, he could still see a big black hole. After Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu saw it, they hurriedly walked up. Zhang Xiu
Looking at the dark cave entrance in front of him, he ordered: "Everyone, light the torches and draw out the swords, just in case something unexpected happens."
Lu Meng said: "General Zhang, let's go!"
He did not draw his sword to defend himself, nor did the soldiers from the Langya Camp behind him. He just lit the torch and walked inside.
In such a narrow road, Ma Junnu is undoubtedly the most suitable.
A group of people walked into the hole holding torches high.
The tunnel was dark and gradually went down. The more Lu Meng walked inside, the more he felt that he had turned a corner, and then walked towards Wancheng. Along the way, Lu Meng carefully looked at the situation of the tunnel and the road.
There was some tide on the road, and some places were blocked. Lu Meng and his team needed to clear the road.
The group of people walked for who knows how long and finally reached the end.
Ahead are steps, one after another, starting to extend towards the ground.
Zhang Xiu looked back at Zhang Ren and others and said, "I am familiar with the situation inside the city. I am here to look at the situation outside. You follow me, be careful and don't make any noise."
Zhang Ren and Lu Meng both nodded, their expressions looking a little solemn.
How is the situation? It depends on where the tunnel leads to?
Lu Meng looked back at the eight soldiers behind him, and whispered: "Extinguish all the torches in your hands, and don't attract the attention of outsiders." After speaking, Lu Meng first extinguished the torches in his hands, and then the other eight wolves
The Yaying soldiers also extinguished the torches in their hands. Seeing this, Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu knew they could only advance in the dark and hurriedly extinguished the torches.
A group of people groped their way up the stairs.
The higher you go, the fresher the air becomes, and you can see a glimmer of light.
They stood next to each other, their steps were very light, and they didn't make any sound.
During the tea time, Zhang Xiu finally reached the end and walked out of the tunnel. He stood at the entrance of the tunnel and did not rush out rashly. He still hid in the dark and carefully observed the situation outside. Zhang Ren followed Zhang Xiu and asked softly
: "Brother, where are we coming out from?"
Zhang Xiu frowned, but said excitedly: "This is the backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion, and the place we are in is inside a rockery. You will know if you look around carefully."
Looking around, there are ponds, corridors, and pavilions all around, and there are no soldiers guarding them.
The lights inside the Sheriff's Mansion were brightly lit, and the fire was still shining.
It is these lights that give the passage inside the rockery a glimmer of light.
The underground passage leading to the outside of the city is actually located inside the rockery, which is incredible. No matter who it is, when they see the flowing water in the rockery, the first thing they think of is the beautiful scenery and the pleasing scene. Who would think about the holes in the rockery?
Who would think that there is a passage under the rockery?
Obviously, there is a strong degree of concealment here.
Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and asked, "Junior brother, we have figured out the tunnel, do we still want to explore further?"
Zhang Ren shook his head and said: "There is no need to inquire about the news, we will return immediately."
Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "Although this place is hidden, it must be guarded by soldiers. If we are suddenly discovered, we will easily be blocked. I will leave two soldiers in the tunnel to pay attention to the situation." As he spoke, Lu Meng
Liu Yang and another soldier were ordered to stay to prevent anything unusual from happening at the entrance of the cave.
Then, the group of people began to retreat.
Coming in is slower, but going back is much easier.
It only took half an hour for the group of people to run out of the cave and run towards the Shu army camp.
In the main camp of the Chinese army, when Wang Can learned that Lu Meng and others were back, he immediately called Lu Meng, Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu, and also called Guo Jia, Zhou Cang, Huang Xu and others to discuss the strategy of attacking Wancheng.
Wang Can first said: "Bo Ming, tell me the real situation."
At that moment, Zhang Xiu explained the whole process in detail, and explained that the exit was at the county governor's mansion.
Wang Can smiled and said happily: "In this way, our soldiers can easily enter the city and we don't have to wait two days before attacking the city. Moreover, Liu Bei allowed his soldiers to disturb the people. If we wait one more day, the people will be safe."
The damage will be greater. We set the time to attack the city for tomorrow, what do you think?"
Guo Jia nodded and said: "My lord, we have to let some soldiers enter the tunnel first. We will wait until they enter the city and then launch the attack. Only in this way can we attack from both sides to be effective."
Wang Can said: "The words of filial piety make sense, and that's exactly how it should be."
After a pause, Wang Can looked at Zhang Xiu and ordered: "Bo Ming, you are familiar with the situation in Wancheng, and the people in the city also recognize you. Therefore, you will lead a group of soldiers to enter Wancheng through the tunnel, and you will kill them from the governor's house.
After leaving, we quickly wiped out the Han soldiers in the city, and at the same time called on the people in the city to resist Liu Bei. If we can mobilize the people in the city to oppose Liu Bei, we can easily win even if we don't finish the attack."
Zhang Xiu cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely complete the mission."
Wang Can nodded and shouted: "Zhang Ren obeys the order!"
Zhang Ren cupped his fists and said, "The general is here!"
Wang Can loudly ordered: "You and Zhang Xiu are brothers, and we have a tacit understanding. You and Zhang Xiu will fight out of the city together. I hope you two can make the first contribution."
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren clasped their fists and said, "We will definitely live up to our lord's high expectations!"
Wang Can turned his eyes and said: "Zhang Liao, Lu Meng listen to the order!"
"The end is here!"
The two people immediately stood up, clasped their fists and shouted loudly.
Wang Can ordered: "Tomorrow, you two will be the vanguard and attack the Han army head-on."
Zhou Cang asked: "Lord, where is the last general?"
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Zhou Cang, you take some soldiers and spread a big net around Wancheng, waiting for Liu Bei to break through. When our army breaks the city, Liu Bei will definitely rush out, so what you have to do
Just wait and see, wait for Liu Bei to escape, and then lead troops to surround Liu Bei, making sure to kill or capture Liu Bei."
"promise!"
Zhou Cang nodded, stopped, and stepped back.
Wang Can smiled, waved his hand and said, "Okay, the attack on Wancheng has been decided. Let's all go down, have a good rest, and be mentally prepared for tomorrow's battle."
Everyone stood up to say goodbye and returned to the camp to rest.
Wang Can sat alone in the tent, with joy shining in his eyes.
