Entering the tunnel, I thought it would only be able to accommodate one person, but I didn't expect that it was wide enough for four people to walk side by side, and the height was at least about two meters, allowing them all to walk in it easily.
Su Han reached out and touched the walls of the tunnel. They were all made of square bricks, which surprised Su Han.
"This project really took a lot of effort," she sighed.
Ou Hai held a torch in front of her and said with a smile: "When my subordinates were exploring this tunnel, they were also shocked. This shows that the builder really put his heart into it."
Su Han nodded in agreement, and everyone started walking on this flat ground. Everyone's speed was not slow at all, and they soon reached a fork in the road.
After Ouhai squeezed to the front, he pointed to the passage to the left: "Go this way, there are five forks, leading to five different places, but they are all five places in the palace. If you go that way
, there are only three forks, which lead to three places.”
"Which three places?" Su Han asked.
Ou Hai looked at her and said, "The first place is Meishan in the Linxiao Garden of the Imperial Villa. There is a well there."
"Why are you there?" Su Han was also a little surprised.
Ou Hai said again: "The first place is in the bamboo forest in the backyard of Prince Yi's Mansion, a utility room near the west courtyard wall."
"Prince Yi's Mansion! That's the mansion given by the late emperor..." Su Han seemed to understand something.
Ou Hai nodded and then looked at her: "Has the princess thought about where the last exit will be?"
"Could it be...in the original Prince Chen's Mansion?" Su Han asked him with a frown.
Ouhai nodded again: "Princess is wise!"
However, Su Han didn't feel that he was praising himself at all. Instead, he felt that he was praising the late emperor. He was really wise.
At this time, she couldn't help but think of Puyang Hongjun's words that this map was returned to the Yu family ten years ago. So, this person was also entrusted by the late emperor to bring this map out. The purpose was really to return it to the Yu clan.
In the hands of the Puyang clan? Or...
Ou Hai then asked again: "Deputy Pavilion Master, which way should we go?"
Su Han came back to his senses and asked him: "What is the situation in the city like now."
"The capital city has been captured, but the imperial palace is still resisting. The Yulin Army has a total of more than 15,000 people, all of whom are guarding the imperial city. In addition, there are more than 20,000 people guarding the city in Kyoto. Even Xia Yunkuo
It would be quite difficult to attack the palace after spending half a month." Ou Hai laughed sarcastically.
"The Yulin Army is 15,000? When did the number of people expand so much? According to regulations, isn't the total number of the left and right Yulin Army equal to 8,000?" Su Han asked doubtfully.
Ou Hai nodded: "That was originally the case, but things have changed since His Highness handed over the three armies, and most of them were children of Beijing officials. His idea should be to protect the country and protect the family, otherwise everyone will die together, so,
The same is true for the stubborn resistance in the palace this time, because when the war started, he had already 'invited' all the officials in the capital and their families into the palace."
"Good idea!" Su Han raised his eyebrows.
Xia Qing said: "Then we don't need to worry about this palace. They have to fight against the enemy with all their strength."
Su Han nodded: "Meishan in Linxiao Garden is a good place. Few people would have thought that someone would appear from there. King Yuan Yi's mansion is also good. The other one is His Highness's original palace. But now that His Highness is approaching the city, I want to come."
Nor would they fail to notice it."
Ou Hai agreed and said: "My subordinates also feel that it is safer to go out from Meishan in Linxiao Garden and Prince Yi's Mansion. Moreover, the two places are not close to each other, and there are many places where they can be deployed. In addition, the Fengqing Pavilion in the capital is
The hiding place is less than two streets away from Meishan, so it's easy to meet."
"There is no need to respond. Everyone should perform their own duties. Those who are not exposed should continue to lurk. The area in the west of the city is not small. After we clear it out, we will have to receive the Xuanjia Army. In these two locations, Xia Qing and I
Each will lead a team and act according to the previous deployment." Su Han decisively issued the order.
Under the leadership of Ou Hai, they quickly reached the three forks in the road. Following his instructions, Xia Qing led the team members towards Meishan, while Su Han led another group of team members towards the direction of Prince Yi's Mansion.
When she pushed open the cover of the utility room at the back wall of the bamboo forest, after careful observation, she found nothing unusual. Then she jumped out of the tunnel, rushed to the door of the house and looked out along the cracks in the wooden boards.
After receiving the safety signal, the team members came up from the tunnel entrance one after another.
Under her leadership, Qingluan's team members were like ghosts at night, wandering in the streets and alleys in the west of the city, silently eliminating the rebels patrolling the city, and then they changed into rebel clothes.
, walked openly on the street, killing the rebels who came and went. After dawn, they had wandered into King Qi'an's mansion, but now it was an empty mansion.
The team members led by Xia Qing were also about the same. They all changed into rebel uniforms according to the previous deployment. The hiding place was in the palace of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Although it became an empty palace, there were many things.
, there was no shortage of rice, noodles and vegetables in the kitchen. These people really had a wonderful meal. Even if someone saw smoke rising from the house, they would not doubt it. They would assume that there were guards in the house.
Ou Hai received the signal before dawn and immediately sneaked back into the tunnel to spread the news. When the time came, the Xuan Jia Army, under the command of Xiao Yanli, launched an artillery fire attack on the capital.
How could the brutal rebels take care of the number of people who checked the Xuanjia Army? At this time, a team of 50,000 people entered the capital along the tunnel, and the exit was Meishan in Linxiao Garden.
The rebels never expected that Xiao Muting would have such a brave artillery. Although they originally had it, the power was far inferior to theirs. Moreover, as soon as their thrower was launched, it was hit by the meteor artillery thrown in from outside the city.
After it exploded, the artillery was like having eyes, chasing them and exploding. Without such an important weapon, they would only be beaten.
Although the opponent's artillery bombardment lasted only a short time, the casualties were very heavy. Seeing the city in a mess and the countless dead and wounded soldiers, Xia Yunkuo could not describe his current mood in words. At the same time, he was also very surprised. How could Xiao Muting be so powerful? Why
It would be so terrible.
Just when he was about to organize the rest of the people to fight, the sky suddenly darkened. When he looked up, he was shocked and saw that the overwhelming rain of arrows had been shot. Fortunately, the deputy general beside him pulled him to the side.
In the house, the soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground screaming just now were not so lucky. At this time, they were turned into hedgehogs by arrows and lifeless. Some of the soldiers who were not injured just now also fell on the ground.
In the rain.
At this time, in the west of the city, the infiltrated Xuanjia Army, together with the Qingluan team members, had cleared the area and were moving strategically towards this side.
