Chapter 187: Decisive battle against South (Sixth) (1)
But in this era, it is not that easy to dig through the authentic tunnels that are more than two miles away.
The moat outside Pingnan County is destined to be digging very deep, otherwise they will not even be able to pass through the moat. If the tunnel cannot directly lead to the city, it will not make much sense. Only by being able to get close to the Song army in an instant can the Song army be afraid of weapons and dare not use the "Porcelain jar..." killer weapon.
When you go deep into the tunnels five or six meters deep on the surface, you will often encounter rock layers and need to be changed. After changing them, sometimes you will be deviated from the direction.
Ali Hague wanted to send people to the city to explore the veins, but they always went there but never returned.
In order to prevent the Song army from discovering clues, they only dared to dig holes during the day and transport soil at night.
In this way, the Yuan army's progress in digging tunnels was so slow that it made people feel sad.
However, in order to achieve the final victory, this is the most convenient way, the more it can reduce losses. Therefore, after Ali Hague gritted his teeth and killed several logistics officials, he forced the logistics company to transport the food to the general according to the number of generals.
Fortunately, it seems that the authenticity has finally arrived in the city.
Ali Hague planned to bloom everywhere and ordered the soldiers to dig the tunnel into the ground in the city and spread like a spider web. At that time, countless troops suddenly emerged from the tunnel and would definitely be able to capture Pingnan County in one fell swoop.
On this day, Zhao Dongting led all the generals to observe the Yuan army camp at the top of the city.
He frowned and couldn't help thinking, "What the hell is Ali Hague trying to do?"
This question has been lingering in his mind for many days, but he has no result in discussing it with the generals every day.
The Yuan army is two miles away from Pingnan County, and there is a moat outside the city. No one would have thought that the Yuan army would be willing to spend a lot of money to dig tunnels.
After looking at it for a morning, Zhao Dongting still had no clue. He shook his head, left the city and went to the government office.
As soon as he arrived at the government office, he ran back in high spirits, holding a rabbit in his hand.
These days, there are always many people surrounding Zhao Dongting. The killer Li Ge has not appeared. He and Zhao Da are really idle. They often disguised themselves as people to find some wild game in the mountains west of the city. Zhao Dongting was too lazy to care about them. The Yuan army was stationed outside the east gate of the city, and there was no danger to the west.
"emperor!"
Seeing Zhao Dongting, Zhao Hu grinned, "I'm lucky today. I got a rabbit from the hole. I can give you a tooth sacrifice tonight."
Zhao Dongting was stunned when he heard this, as if a light of inspiration flashed through his head, "What did you say?"
Zhao Hu blinked his eyes, "I got a rabbit. Can you give you a tooth sacrifice tonight?"
"Where did you get the rabbit?" Zhao Dongting said hurriedly again.
Zhao Hu was a little confused, "Outside the city...the mountain, on the mountain! As soon as the rabbit came out of the hole, he was tied up by my brother and I, and I, had his legs tied up."
In the hole!
"Hold!"
Zhao Dongting cursed in anger and turned his head to Wen Tianxiang with excitement, saying, "I may know what the Yuan army is doing!"
Wen Tianxiang and the others were unable to think of Zhao Hu's words to the cave, and they all looked at Zhao Dongting in confusion.
Zhao Dongting said: "They may be digging tunnels and want to go straight to the city!"
Swish, Wen Tianxiang and the others' faces all changed.
Zhao Hu was at a loss as he pinched the rabbit.
Wen Tianxiang, Su Quandang and the others were all smart people. When they heard Zhao Dongting's words, they felt a chill from their feet to their backs.
Most of the troops in the city were arranged to be stationed at the city walls. If the Yuan army dug through the tunnel and went straight into the city, they would inevitably be caught off guard.
After coming back to his senses, Yue Peng stomped his feet and cursed: "These sinister villains!"
Yue Peng said, "I will lead people to the city to inspect." After that, he turned around and ran.
Zhao Dongting looked at Donghe with a slightly calm face, "Lord Donghe ordered the Divine Beggar Army to form forty teams with a hundred people, and constantly search in the city. If you see a Yuan army coming out of the underground, you will immediately kill it."
"Get orders!"
Dongheli received the order and was about to leave.
"etc!"
Zhao Dongting thought about it and said, "Go and prepare enough firewood, drizzle it with water a little, splash it with oil, and when the Yuan army digs through the tunnel, we will use fireworks to smoke Yuan rabbit!"
Speaking of this, a smile appeared in his eyes. He dug the tunnel, Yuan Jun is here to seek death!
Dongheli smiled and nodded, leaving in a hurry.
Zhao Dongting looked at Zhao Hu again, "Zhao Hu, go and order the Supervisory and Construction Department to forge several meters of iron bars and tie them into square shapes to block the tunnel at that time."
"yes!"
Zhao Hu bowed and lifted the rabbit in his hand, "Then this rabbit..."
Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "This rabbit has made great contributions. I will use him to sacrifice his teeth tonight."
Zhao Hu grinned and handed the rabbit to the soldiers at the government office, and hurriedly ran towards the Supervisory Bureau.
Wen Tianxiang's face was no longer so serious, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty is planning to deal with the Yuan army by using the method of dealing with rabbits..."
Zhao Dongting said: "How can you not want the rabbit that comes to your door?"
All the generals were happy.
Although it is not certain that the Yuan army is digging tunnels at the moment, this possibility is already extremely high.
They were waiting for their work in the city, obviously taking the initiative. Thinking that the Yuan army worked hard to dig through the tunnel, but in the end they were smoked, everyone couldn't help but feel excited.
For several consecutive days, firewood and hay gathered from all over the city into the military camp.
In this era, cooking depends entirely on firewood. Every household has a lot of firewood, so it is really easy to get it.
The supervision and construction department also processed and rushed to make iron bars.
Later, Zhao Dongting personally drew a picture and asked someone to send it over, and added sharp thorns to the iron bars.
The sky was so gloomy that it was rare that it became so gloomy that it was no longer so hot.
The Yuan army finally made some movement.
The sound of horns in the east of the city suddenly resounded. Outside the Yuan army camp, countless soldiers gathered, flags fluttered, and various siege equipment were pushed out from the camp.
The Yuan army is about to attack the city.
"Here you come!"
Hearing the sound of trumpets at the city gate, Zhao Dongting's face became solemn, and he immediately asked Zhao Hu to go and prosper the generals.
The Yuan army suddenly prepared to attack the city, but it was possible that the tunnel was about to be dug through.
Ali Hague cannot be so stupid that he thinks that he can break the city by relying on authenticity alone. Two-pronged approach is the safest way.
"emperor!"
"emperor!"
Soon, Wen Tianxiang, Dongheli, Yue Peng and others all went to the main hall of the government office and saw Zhao Dongting who had just arrived.
Zhao Dongting didn't care about anything else and asked Su Quandang: "General Su, have you found out where the tunnel exit of the Yuan army is?"
