Outside Dingtao City, Duguba and Dugutian brothers were guarded by personal soldiers carefully inspecting the surroundings of Dingtao City. The Dugu three brothers were the first group to take refuge in Huangfu Chaobo. Although the three were loyal, they had limited abilities. Coupled with the special arms of the three, Huangfu Chaobo deliberately hid his cards, so the three There has always been little opportunity to lead troops into battle.

Since joining Huangfu Chaobo, the three brothers have only made two shots, but each time has brought great surprises to Huangfu Chaobo. The first time was the escape tunnel of the Battle of Changshe, which allowed Huangfu Chaobo to relieve the crisis of Changshe City, and obtained a lot of military exploits, and finally got the appreciation of Zhu Jun and was accepted as a student. The second was the second Puyang Battle a few years ago. Because of the help of the tunnel, Zhao Yunzha quickly invaded the city and defeated Cao Cao's army.

However, many of the warriors who took refuge after their three brothers have shined in the past few years, but for the three of them, only the boss Dugu Xiong has become the general. The second and third are only captains. The three brothers were very unwilling. This time they finally had the opportunity to lead the war. The three brothers had already negotiated before they sent troops. This time, they must seize the opportunity and make several great achievements.

After getting the order of Huangfu Chaobo, the two brothers first observed the entire city around the entire city under the guard of their own soldiers, and roughly inspected the surrounding conditions. At the same time, they carefully observed the surrounding terrain and waterways. . Along the way, the two of them took out a compass-like thing from their arms from time to time to compare them, and from time to time they took a shovel from the soldiers and dug small pits in the ground, carefully observing the situation of the soil in the pits. .

After tossing back and forth for nearly two hours, the two brothers finally took a rough look around the entire city. The two looked at each other, and both saw a hint of joy in each other’s eyes. After the two of them carefully inferred, Ding Tao The conditions around the city are in full compliance with the conditions for a tunnel attack, and they also discovered several defensive defects in the city wall.

"Second brother, the northeast and northwest corners of the city wall are more suitable for digging tunnels. Where do you think we will start?" Du Gutian looked at his brother and said;

"No hurry, I also see that these two places are more suitable. Let's take a closer look. The tunnel needs to be excavated from a few miles away. In this way, let's go a little further and take a look..." After a moment of contemplation;

As they said, the two brothers turned on their horses again and ran toward the northwest of the city wall a few miles away. The group stopped six miles away, and along the way, freshly planted grain was everywhere. Dugu Ba Zhuma was on a small hill and looked back in the direction of Dingtao City, and he had a conclusion in his heart. Just now they passed a forest. It was only four miles away from Dingtao City. There was only this relatively large forest around, and the location was a little higher. The soil there is also more suitable for digging tunnels. If there is no better one to the east In terms of location, this should be the most suitable place.

"Let's go, let's go to the northeast of the city to take a look!" As he said, Dugu He took the lead, racing towards the northeast of Dingtao City.

When it got dark, the two finally rushed back to the East Army camp west of Dingtao under the guard of their own soldiers. As soon as they returned to the camp, the two of them didn't care about taking a break, and rushed directly to the army account of Huangfu Chaobo.

At this time, Huangfu Chaobo and Pang Tong were eating dinner, and when they saw Brother Dugu coming in, they smiled and said, "Have you eaten?"

The two shook their heads and were about to report the results of their observations today, but Huangfu Chaobo said, "Don't worry, I'll talk after dinner."

With that, two more dishes and chopsticks were added. The two of them were touched, and after hurriedly thanking them, they sat down to eat in peace.

Because there was something in his mind, Brother Dugu hurriedly finished the dinner, and then put the dishes aside, quietly waiting for his master to finish the meal.

Seeing the two of them, Huangfu Chaobo also smiled, and said: "Are you sure you have eaten it?"

"It's alright!" the two replied in unison;

"Okay!" Huangfu Chaobo grabbed the food in the bowl in twos and twos, and said: "Let's talk about it, what's the harvest? I guess you should have good news to tell this general."

Duguba got up and said: "Congratulations, Dingtao can indeed use tunnels to attack. His subordinates have carefully inspected the entire city. Except for the south facing Jishui, which is difficult to conduct tunnel excavation, the other three walls can dig tunnels. However, at the suggestion of the two subordinates, the tunnel digging direction can be placed on the northwest corner of the city wall."

"reason!"

"The subordinates carefully inspected the soil in the northwest corner of Dingtao. The soil is the most suitable place for tunnel excavation. The soil layer here is moderately hard and easy to excavate but not easy to collapse. There is no river passing through this area, and the location of groundwater is also good. It's a deep five or six feet deep. If you dig from here, it should be the easiest."

"Another point is that the north gate of Dingtao is slightly to the west, and there is a passage to the upper city in the northwest corner. If the gate penetrates into the city, it only takes a few hundred steps to quickly attack the wall through this passage."

Huangfu Chaobo nodded, and said, "How do you plan to arrange it? You need how you will cooperate."

Because it was not the first time to see them digging tunnels, Huangfu Chaobo knew that they needed other support besides their own soldiers, so that's why he asked.

"Subordinates are going to excavate three passages at the same time. Each passage will be divided into four waves with 1,000 soldiers. At the same time, 2,000 civilians are needed to help transport soil and wood."

"how much time is required?"

"Ten days, ten days will be able to dig through these three tunnels for the lord."

"Ten days is too long. Each tunnel gives you five thousand people. Can you dig it in five days?"

"Lord, this is not something that can be done by increasing the minhu." Duguba said with a look of embarrassment; "The minhu's role is only to transport the soil, and the tunnel cannot be too large, so the minhu will definitely not be able to walk fast in it."

Huangfu Chaobo also watched them dig a tunnel. The digger sergeant digs in the front, and at the same time is responsible for supporting the tunnel with logs to prevent the tunnel from collapsing halfway. The role of the minhu is only to transport the soil they dug out. The tunnel is not wide, but it happens that two people walk side by side, and they need to be slightly arched, so the speed is really not too fast.

Huangfu Chaobo still remembered that time when he was in Puyang, he stood at the tunnel entrance and watched the people coming in and out from there, as if he saw a team of ants coming in and out of the tunnel to carry things.
