The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Ma Yan and Wang Mo didn't expect to get such an errand, although they are only school captains, they are also school captains!What did those Sima and captains do, why did they happen to be the two of them.

The land on the Yellow River beach is full of sand and soil, which is suitable for digging, but as long as you go down a little, water will immediately rush out. No matter what method you use, it will be inexhaustible.The big pits were like cornucopias. After the water was cleaned up, they popped up again after a while.In the end, Ma Yan came up with a way, found a relatively higher place, dug out the drainage channel first, and then started digging the tunnel.

The most suitable for digging tunnels is the kind of thick soil and vast land.And there are many mountains near Xuchang, with jagged underground rocks and soft sandy soil, which is very easy to collapse. A little carelessness, even a cough can shake the soil, causing the tunnel that was built with great difficulty to collapse instantly.

"Boom..." There was a dull sound, and a small dirt bag not far away fell into the ground in an instant. Yuan Jun and Cao Jun felt something was wrong at the same time, and hurriedly reported to their captain.A burst of smoke rose and filled the entire sky.In an instant, that place was flooded with dust and stagnant water, and no one knew what happened.

Wang Mo crawled out of the tunnel in disgrace, followed by dozens of soldiers, just like Wang Mo, some of them were soaked in clothes and their faces were covered with muddy water.Ma Yan looked back: "What? Five more died?"

Wang Mo nodded: "It's too fast! There was no response at all, and the top collapsed. If I didn't run fast, I would be dead!"

"Hey!" Ma Yan sighed: "This is useless again. Hundreds of soldiers died in half a month. My lord knows that we can't afford it."

Wang Mo patted the dust on his head, also frowning. He glanced at Ma Yan: "That's the only way, we'll do our best! How to deal with it is up to the Lord."

"Report...! Two generals, my lord asked what happened just now?"

Ma Yan glanced at the messenger: "Go and tell, forget it, let's go in person! Let's go, brother!"

The two fellow sufferers washed off the dust on their bodies and found new clothes to change into.Hastily came to Yuan Shao's big tent.The generals and counselors inside are discussing what happened just now.Ju Shou immediately thought of the tunnel: "My lord, the sandy soil is soft, and it is not easy to dig a tunnel. Even if it is dug through, it may not be effective. What happened just now should be caused by the collapse of the tunnel!"

Feng Ji hurriedly said: "The sandy soil is soft, so it's just right for digging. How can it be difficult? My lord, my suggestion will definitely work. As long as the tunnel is dug through, Cao Jun will be completely defenseless!"

Guo Tu chuckled, and looked at Ju Shou and Feng Ji: "Both of you, we still need to verify whether the noise just now was authentic, so don't be so anxious? Why don't you ask Ma Yan and Wang Mo to find out.

Not too long, Ma Yan and Wang Mo got paid and knelt down to salute.Yuan Shao hummed, and the two got up and stood by the door.Feng Ji couldn't wait to stand up and asked: "Captain Ma, Captain Wang, the loud noise just now is something wrong with your tunnel?"

The two were taken aback, knowing that they couldn't escape, they hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Yuan Shao and begged for mercy: "My lord Mingjian, my subordinates did not do well, which caused the tunnel to collapse and injured several people, please punish me, my lord!"

Feng Ji said coldly: "The tunnel collapsed, and you are not good at doing things. My lord must punish you!"

Ju Shou shook his head and smiled wryly.Seeing that Feng Ji was about to push the matter to Ma Yan and Wang Mo, Guo Tu asked with a smile, "You two, why did the tunnel collapse?"

Ma Yan hurriedly returned: "My lord, the military division, the ground here is soft, and it is close to the bank of the Yellow River. When the tunnel is deep, there will be water everywhere, and it will not retreat for a long time. If it is shallow, the ground is loose and easy to collapse. It's not that the two of us didn't work hard. It is really not suitable for digging tunnels here! Please be enlightened, my lord!"

"Nonsense!" Feng Ji glanced at Yuan Shao, who was also looking at him.Feng Ji hastily turned his eyes around: "You two are not good at handling things, and you also shifted the responsibility to geological problems. The crime is heinous, and you should be executed!"

Ju Shou couldn't stand it any longer: "My lord! This is the truth, if you make such an argument, won't you be afraid of being blamed by the lord?"

Several people turned their heads to look at Yuan Shao, waiting for Yuan Shao's conclusion.Judging from the current situation, the idea of ​​digging tunnels was wrong from the beginning, and hundreds of soldiers were killed, and it did not play its due role.Although it was Feng Ji's suggestion, Yuan Shao agreed. In terms of guilt, Feng Ji and Yuan Shao each accounted for half, while Ma Yan and Wang Mo were both victims.

Yuan Shao pondered for a while: "Digging tunnels is a wonderful plan. Although it is difficult, this matter must not stop. Mayan and Wang Mo, let's make a note of today's events. You must dig Caoying's tunnels as soon as possible. mistaken!"

"No!" Mayan and Wang Mo were a little helpless, agreed feebly, got up and exited the big tent.

Cao Cao and Long Fei also heard the movements on Yuan Ying's side.Everyone was amazed to see a small bag of soil disappearing under a puddle of muddy water after the smoke cleared.Long Fei immediately thought of explosives, the only thing with such power is explosives, but how did Yuan Shao make explosives?What I have worked so hard to make is nothing more than black gunpowder, which is far less powerful than explosives. If you have a chance, you must go to Yuanying to have a look.

After Cao Cao looked at it, he chuckled and said, "Your son-in-law! Do you know what it is?"

Long Fei shook his head: "It's really rare for such a world to shatter, and I've never seen it before."

Cao Cao smiled: "It's a little surprising that the virtuous are courageous, resourceful, and good at surprise attacks, but they don't know what's going on."

"Oh? Father-in-law knows?"

Cao Cao laughed and didn't answer Long Fei's question, but turned around and went to pay.Guo Jia approached Long Fei and said in a low voice: "That's Yuan Shao who was going to dig a tunnel, but it collapsed! This is Guandu, and the soil is soft, which is not conducive to tunnel digging at all!"

Long Fei suddenly realized how he forgot this.One of my favorite movies when I was a child was called "Tunnel Warfare". In order to defend their homes, the people in the Jizhong Plain used tunnels to fight bravely and strategically with the invading animals.Tunneling is definitely the most intelligent choice in the history of warfare. It is really surprising that Yuan Shao can think of this. This method should be very effective for attacking cities.

After entering the tent, Cao Cao was talking to Cheng Yu.Cheng Yu also guessed the reason and was trying to persuade Cao Cao to take precautions.Cao Cao laughed and said, "No, this is the bank of the Yellow River. The sandy soil is loose. If Yuan Shao is willing to waste people's money, let him dig it out! After several collapses, he won't dig it again!"

Cheng Yu said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. If there is really a tunnel leading to our camp, then we will be passive. My lord, you should think twice!"

Liu Ye said: "In fact, there is no need to take precautions. You only need to dig ditches in the camp, and Yuan Shao's painstaking tunnels will be completely useless!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and was about to agree when Long Fei suddenly interjected: "I don't think there is any need to be so defensive. Since Yuan Shao gave us such a good opportunity, we should take advantage of it. Every tunnel has two exits, one is on our side. , the other should be in Yuan Shao's camp, since Yuan Shao can send people over, why can't we send people over?"

Everyone was taken aback.Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Your son-in-law is indeed witty, what he said is good!"

Dong Zhao frowned: "General Long, how do we know where Yuan Shao will leave the tunnel entrance in my camp? If we don't find it, wouldn't it be the root of disaster?"

"This is easy! It's safe!" Long Fei didn't explain the method.

The next day, Long Fei sent people to find more than a dozen large vats, each one as tall as a person, and buried one every hundred steps in Cao Ying.All the big tanks face up and bottom down, like toads looking up at the sky with their mouths open.Long Fei stuffed his whole head into the big tank to make everyone quiet and listen quietly.One mouthful after another, listening to them one by one.

Until the eighth mouthful, when Long Fei stuffed his head into the tank, a slight rhythmic buzzing sound entered Long Fei's ears.Long Fei smiled slightly, and planted a small red flag beside the tank as a mark.After listening to all the big tanks, only this one has a sound.Long Fei asked someone to bury some more around the tank, to accurately determine the location of the tunnel.

Cao Cao and his advisers, as well as generals and soldiers, big and small, were all watching Long Fei's back and forth movements.I didn't know that doing this could really find the way.Xia Houyuan followed Long Fei's appearance and listened to the tank, but he didn't hear any difference.Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan, who shook his head slightly.In this way, after ten days, Long Fei found Cao Cao, took Cao Cao's arm and walked out of the tent.

Coming to a tent, Long Fei nodded to several soldiers around him.Everyone started to dig the ground inside the tent.Not long after, a small black hole suddenly appeared in the lower left corner of the tent. Cao Cao's heart was in his throat, and he turned to look at Long Fei: "This! Is this the entrance of Yuan Jun's tunnel?"

Long Fei nodded: "Yuan Shao dug a total of three tunnels, only this one entered our camp, the other two collapsed!"

As the soldiers moved more and more, the tunnel entrance was completely displayed in front of Cao Cao and Long Fei. Although it was not too big, there was absolutely no problem for one person to pass through.Look inside, it's so dark, you can't see anything.Long Fei took the torch from Chen Dao's hand and threw it in. The torch stopped after falling for about ten feet, and the fire illuminated the inside of the cave. Like those coal kilns in China, no matter how loose the top is, it can form a space.

Ma Yan and Wang Mo reported to Yuan Shao with smiles on their faces.Yuan Shao was overjoyed and rewarded them both.This is the only thing that has been successful since I entered the army. After several consecutive failures, I finally saw some results.Yuan Shao heaved a sigh of relief: "I don't know what happened to Lu Xiang? Has Cao Cao's supply road been cut off?"
