The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 774

Zhuge Liang and the others raised their glasses with a smile, regardless of what the emperor read, besides the fact that the emperor has a reputation for literary talent, this in itself is not fake, so this ordinary warrior bragging about the emperor here, no one in the Manchu court thinks it is inappropriate.

After the banquet, the entire Qin camp was filled with a relaxed atmosphere, without the gloomy atmosphere of war.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhuge Liang and others asked to see the emperor, saying that they wanted to destroy the moat of Suiyang City.

Zhuge Liang had already thought about the specific method during this period. Contrary to Fusu's expectations, Zhuge Liang not only made his own views on the current deadlocked situation, but also made a model!
Fusu looked at the mud model in front of him, it was completely a scaled-down version of Suiyang City, everything inside and outside the city was clearly visible, and it was very clear at a glance.

Fusu was surprised, this should be the earliest simple sand table.

"Your Majesty, please see that Cai Jun's trebuchets can only hit the outside of the moat. Standing by the moat, our army can easily avoid the attack of the trebuchets in the city. In this way, our army can drive from outside Suiyang City. A dozen or so water diversion ditches, in this way, the water in the moat can be diverted away. Once the water in the moat is empty, our army can do soil work and move forward slowly. It doesn't hurt to pour oil on fire."

Zhuge Liang introduced: "The soil quality in this place is very peculiar, very suitable for digging tunnels. Weichen has sent someone to test it in private. When digging a tunnel more than ten meters deep, even if it is not supported by wooden pillars, it will not collapse. .”

When Fusu heard this, he immediately thought of the classic tunnel warfare of later generations!

"Wait!" Fusu came to his senses suddenly: "We can think of a way to dig a tunnel, but Cai Jun in the city can also think of a way to dig a tunnel?"

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "That's the theory, but people in the city won't go out easily. The first problem is the moat. Our army has already prepared for it. Outside Suiyang City, there is a place that is upside down in the mud." As for the water tank, as long as there is movement under the ground, you will naturally be able to detect it."

After hearing this, Fusu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's divert the river water inside the moat first. If this is the case, the so-called moat will not be worthy of the name. Our army will use the channel of the moat to advance forward. Even if Cai Jun can see it from the tower, there is nothing he can do."

The function of the trebuchet is to strike the enemy in a large area. It is true that the trebuchet cannot be used in a small area alone, because the accuracy of the trebuchet has not been very good.

In this way, the Qin army drilled holes into the soil, and the kerosene tanks in Han Xin's army were useless. This was simply the rhythm of trying to kill Han Xin.

The army speeds up, as fast as half a month, as slow as one month, and they can advance to the bottom of the city wall of Suiyang City.

Of course, pinning your hopes on digging down the city wall is basically impossible.

It is not without reason that Suiyang is so valued by Zhuge Kongming and others. The city wall of Suiyang City has a horse face sticking out every three hundred steps, and the width of the city wall itself is also very scary. It is no exaggeration In other words, it is not impossible to play a basketball game on the wall of Suiyang City.

Therefore, trying to dig down the walls of Suiyang City through tunnels is just a dream.

Zhuge Liang’s idea was to attack by mentioning that if Han Xin didn’t kill him, he would definitely take corresponding precautions in the city, but again, Zhuge Liang was not stupid. Dig deep underground!
If you can dig a 20-meter trench behind your city wall and let me sneak into the city, then I will go down 50 meters, or even 80 meters, and see who is more ruthless.

Youdao is the idea of ​​a wise man, which is basically the same.

The same is true for Han Xin digging tunnels in the city, in order to achieve the effect of surprise soldiers, destroying the nearly [-] troops outside the city in one sentence.

It's just that whoever is one step ahead of the other ultimately determines the outcome of the war.

In Suiyang City, Han Xin went down to the tunnel again and began to check all the preparations.

Rosin, kerosene, and hay were all prepared. When coming from the waterlogged area, the soldiers lifted these things above their heads to prevent them from getting wet.

General Gongshu is also very sure that in the middle of the night tonight, as long as Han Xin gives an order, the Qin State's ten-mile-long granary will be filled with Cai State's fire-fighting people in an instant.

Han Xin returned to the ground, stood on the tower to estimate the distance, and mobilized [-] troops by himself. It took several months to dig through dozens of miles of land. Only one person!
A heroic feeling arises spontaneously.

"In the blink of an eye, ashes and smoke disappear!" Han Xin looked at the camp of the Qin army outside the city, and felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

"Since the emperor of Qin State Yingfu Su ascended the throne, this man has led the army to fight, and it can be said that he is sure to win every battle. In Qin State, everyone believes that this emperor is blessed by the gods. Today, let me call Han Xin to break it. Your myth, forges my myth that belongs to me, Han Xin."

The wind blew Han Xin's skirt, he took out a jug, spread his chest, and let the cold winter wind blow his chest.

The strong wine enters the throat, like a steel knife scraping the bone; the man drinks the strong wine, lifts the knife and cuts off the head.This has always been what heroes and martyrs yearn for.

Night is coming soon.

No matter at any time, the night is the best cover-up, so there is the saying that the night is dark and the wind is high and the night is murderous.

Han Xin stood on the top of the city tower and did not go down to the ground to command. He felt that he had already done everything he could do, and now it was up to God to help.

The destiny is irreversible, but people can also change their destiny against the sky.

In the depths of the tunnel, the flames flickered, reflecting sweaty cheeks one after another.

General Gongshu stood on a high place and shouted loudly: "Now is the chance to win! Pass the order, and everyone starts to act! Raise the fire!"

"Raise the fire!"

In the deep and narrow tunnel, shouts came and went, and a string of fire dragons could be seen being lit up in the dark night.

General Gongshu glanced at the martial artist beside him, and the martial artist handed over a burlap bag the size of a human head, and the burlap bag was filled with rosin.

A unique scent of pine trees adhered to the rosin, and Gongshu Jiang took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

After getting off the high platform, General Gongshu stretched out his hand and tore open the place covered by a straw mat, which happened to be a hole one person high.

Gongshu Jiang didn't stop for half a minute, he just walked in.

As soon as the light of the fire shines, you can see that the tunnel propped up with wooden boards is going upwards obliquely.

Everyone seemed to be holding their breath and walked up quickly.

It didn't take long before I saw a very faint fire in front of me. It was a soldier who was still working on the soil.

General Gongshu stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "How's it going?"

"It's here, feel for it!" said the middle-aged man, pointing to the dirt in front of him.

General Gongshu stretched out his hand to touch it, the soil here was chilly, and the palms of his hands felt a little stinging.

It is midwinter now, the weather is cold, and the temperature deep in the ground is very high, but the further you go to the surface, the lower the temperature.

General Gongshu put his ear on the soil and listened slightly, thinking that there would be no sound outside, so he took a palm-sized shovel from the middle-aged man beside him, and began to gently hang the soil in front of him, After three or four breaths passed, the dirt in front of General Gongshu was about to move, and General Gongshu stopped immediately, and turned his head to look at the people behind him.

These people all carried a lot of planks in their hands, and they immediately stepped forward to fix these planks to prevent the exit from collapsing!

Gently pushing the soil to the outside, a gust of fresh air rushed in. General Gongshu signaled all the people to put out the torches in their hands. They were still inside the tunnel, but they could already hear the sound from outside.

It was very noisy, mixed with all kinds of voices, but fortunately those voices were far away, General Gongshu went out first, and touched all the rosin and other things in his hand to the surrounding grain and grass.

I don't know if it's luck, but all the piles here are horse fodder!

Gongshu General An resisted the excitement in his heart, and casually took out a fire bag.

In the dark night, Huozhezi was scarlet with sparks, and after a few bites, a flame the size of a fingernail appeared on the Huozhezi!
Randomly lit three or four piles of horse fodder, and General Gongshu immediately shrank back into the tunnel and made a gesture. The people behind saw it, and quickly chased after him. They had all those flammable materials in their hands, and threw them all to the outside of the tunnel. go out!

"call--"

The flames rolled and turned into a fire dragon!
In an instant, the fire spread throughout the forage warehouse. The rolling flames were like burning liquid, and when they reached the ground, they spread out to the surroundings like lightning. Roast hot.

A burst of roars came from afar. General Gongshu endured the high temperature, listened for a while, and said loudly: "Don't wait, write quickly, fill in the exit, and seal it!"

All the soil dug up earlier was left here. Now that they heard General Gongshu's words, the soldiers hurriedly carried the soil over, and the slanted exit was filled up in two or three strokes.

The top of the tunnel is already a sea of ​​flames, and the people below feel extremely hot!
General Gongshu wiped the hot sweat off his face and laughed: "Our side has already succeeded. After tonight is over, the entire Qin army's food and grass camp will be turned into flying ashes. The victory is just around the corner, and I can enjoy it later." Prosperity and wealth!"

People laughed when they heard this, and while filling up the tunnel, they withdrew down.

The excavation method of this tunnel is slanted upwards, so it is not too strenuous to go down and then fill with soil, and there is no need to fill it all up, and the wooden boards and pillars used for support cannot be torn off. , Once it is torn off, all the tunnels may collapse and bury people alive.
