Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1038 This is a military order
Qiu Yun's eyes widened. The first time he saw Lin Silang go crazy, he obviously didn't react, it was too sudden, and finally compromised: "Be careful."

"I should say that." Lin Silang said lightly.

The corner of Qiu Yun's mouth twitched, he shook his head and smiled wryly without refuting.

The tunnel is dark and cold, and there is an oil lamp every other section. The dim lights imprint people's shadows on the potholed earth wall, which is especially eerie.

Entering the tunnel entrance, it is not easy for the car to go. The whole car occupies almost half of the width of the tunnel, and people can only move sideways carefully. The front and rear officials must cooperate closely to avoid mistakes.

Everyone was sweating. Although the outside was extremely tense, the advantage was that there was no limit to the space. Everyone could cooperate effectively, so don't worry all the time.However, the environment of the tunnel is too harsh, and the space is extremely narrow, so it is easy to make mistakes. Even a little vibration can lead to unpredictable dangers.

Whether it was Qiu Yun or Lin Silang, they were all cautious. Everyone was advancing at a speed that could be described as a turtle crawling. They tried their best not to cause a little vibration, and they were extremely nervous.

Several officials were in front, taking turns to test the flatness of the track, keeping a distance of ten steps at all times. Once any unevenness was found, measures were taken immediately, and no details were missed. Two students from Zhongshan Academy were on site to supervise and carry out the first step. The second inspection is to prepare for possible contingencies.

Of course, they also had to be careful with the oil lamp, for fear that one accidentally knocked down the lamp and caused an explosion of xanthate.

Qiu Yun couldn't be more aggrieved. Back then, five people ran rampant in Gong County, and now hundreds of riders raided Liangcao Dazhai in Yanzhou. It's not as strenuous as it is today.

When the Song army raided the outer strongholds of Xiping, Li Liangfu used rice porridge clay to reinforce the corners of the city wall, which enhanced the city's ability to resist blows. It was also an important reason why the city wall did not collapse despite the artillery fire.

Similarly, he is also very worried about the Song army's digging attack. He is a veteran who fought against the Song army. It must be the focus of monitoring.

The most classic example of the Song army's attack and digging is that Wen Yanbo dug tunnels into the city to suppress the rebellion in Beizhou. When the Song army built an earth mountain outside the field, he knew that they were going to dig a tunnel.

For nothing else, due to the loss of the main force in the left wing, the northwest camp reached Dahe, and the Xia army lost the ability to fight in the eastern part of Jingzhou. Wu Jie had enough time to dig tunnels, so he didn't have to worry about being attacked, and he would never give up his good tricks.

Therefore, he ordered that at the foot of the outer city, a large pit be dug at intervals to place a large vat, and a few people with quick hearing would be on guard, and if they heard any abnormal movement, they would report it immediately without any delay.

Today's attack was particularly fierce, and the sunset did not stop. The huge explosion made him feel a little worried. He was afraid that the Song army would use evil tricks to hurt people.

The more he worried about something, the more he heard the sound of tunnel digging in the east of the north gate. He hurried to confirm that it was an arrogant digging sound without any cover-up, which was a great humiliation to him.

Digging into the city should be done quietly, and the excavation frequency is very fast, which is inconsistent with common sense. Could it be that Song Jun is really desperate and unscrupulous?Aren't they afraid of breaking the trench in the opposite direction, or ambushing troops at the exit?
"There is still time to hear the sound outside the city wall." A general looked at Li Liangfu patiently, his words full of excitement.

Li Liangfu understood the meaning of Zhengjiang, and it was unrealistic to counterattack with water attack and digging. He could only dig trenches horizontally in the city, put more torches and charcoal, and prepare to rush out, let them fall into the trench, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"Okay, hurry up and arrange for people to break through the trenches. I want to see how many people they kill."

With an order, hundreds of people dug quickly, and quickly dug a deep trench, and dispatched officials urgently, preparing to give the Song army a chance to catch a turtle.

However, Wu Jie was pleasantly surprised when he heard that Huang Yao was well prepared, and immediately gave Wang De full authority to prepare for the siege, and he himself ordered all the armies to prepare. Their generals at the level of the capital school are no strangers to Huang Yao. High hopes.

According to the original plan to mobilize troops and horses, three elite infantry battalions were assembled on standby, ready to detonate xanthate to charge and kill, and Wang De's eldest son Wang Qi served as commander.

I have to say that Wang Qi, this guy is also a brave general. He has been deeply influenced by Wang De since he was a child, and he has bravery skills. He joined the Forbidden Army at a young age. With unique conditions, he was promoted rapidly in the army.

After being trained by the University of the Guards and Infantry, he was transferred to two officials in a row, and was promoted to the brigade and town envoy of the Xuanwu Army. He took on the assault mission, which can be regarded as giving him a chance to make meritorious service.

Wang Qi looked fiercely, and looked around at the queue under the moonlight. These were elite soldiers who hadn't participated in the battles these days, just for a moment of death.

In the queue, Zhang Zhong was impressively present. He was wearing armor, and as the commander of the battalion, he had a stern look on his face, ready to make a quick kill.

Right at the top of the tunnel, everyone was covered in cold sweat, no matter what, they arrived without any risk, and some people were even gasping for breath.

"There is one last step." Lin Silang glanced at Qiu Yun and smiled briskly.

"No, your work has been done, now it's my turn." Qiu Yun waved his hand, as if he didn't care.

"Ninth brother, this step is the most dangerous. Can I watch outsiders take risks? Or I will do it." Lin Silang said very calmly. The xanthate is also very dangerous before it detonates, and no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.

Qiu Yun smacked his lips, took advantage of the dim candlelight, and looked at Lin Silang quietly, without any irritation, instead he waved his hands from time to time.

Two burly officials suddenly grabbed Lin Silang and dragged him outward without any hesitation.

Lin Silang didn't have any precautions, and never thought that Qiu Yun would have a follower, he was suddenly controlled, had no chance to resist, and shouted loudly: "Ninth brother, what are you doing, let me go, let me go. "

"Procrastinate." Qiu Yun didn't have any room for discussion, and stared at the two students of Zhongshan Academy, and said in a deep voice, "You guys also go down."

"Taiwei..." A student hesitated to speak, with fear in his eyes.

"Shut up, drive them out, and control them all. No one can let go before the explosion." Qiu Yun's face was sullen, and his tone was particularly severe.

"Ninth brother, without my presence, no one is allowed to light the fire." Lin Silang was pulled and dragged, extremely embarrassed, but still shouted loudly.

"Take me away quickly, this is a military order." Qiu Yun waved his hand, not allowing any excuses.
