Chapter 929 - Straight to the County Guard's Mansion
Outside the city of Wan, five miles to the southeast. (οΌ
Here, it is a hillside of more than 30 zhang, very barren, there is no lush grass and trees, and there are mostly mountain rocks.
In the soft moonlight, more than a dozen figures were rushing up the hillside.
The leader has a torch in his hand, but instead of walking with the torch held high, he tries to lower the torch as much as possible to illuminate the ground, and then gradually moves forward.
The person holding the torch was Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Ren and LΓΌ Meng followed behind Zhang Xiu, and behind LΓΌ Meng there were eight soldiers from the Wolf Tooth Battalion, and a group of eleven people were looking for the underground passage in Zhang Xiu's mouth. Zhang Xiu knew that there was such a place in Wancheng, but he didn't know the specific detailed address, because he also knew about the underground passage from other people's mouths, and he only had vague answers, and he had to find it carefully at the scene.
Zhang Ren followed behind Zhang Xiu and asked in a low voice: "Senior brother, this hill is barren and full of hard stones, I'm afraid it's not easy to dig down the tunnel!" β
Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "Senior brother, it is precisely because there are stones everywhere here that it is possible to build tunnels." β
Zhang Ren couldn't react a little and asked, "What?" β
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Only by making the stone hard can the tunnel be stable and not easy to collapse, so as to support a wide enough road." We must have found the right place, and if we looked carefully, it must be nearby. β
Zhang Xiu is very convinced and full of enthusiasm.
If you can enter the city from the tunnel, you will be able to join forces inside and outside, and Liu Bei will definitely be defeated.
In this way, he can easily make great achievements!
A group of people searched carefully on the hillside. Eleven people searched almost in a carpet manner, gradually moving from the outside in, not letting go of a suspicious place.
Suddenly, Lu Meng straightened up, stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said, "Look, there's a hole ahead!" β
Lu Meng stretched out his hand and pointed to a place on the slope of the mountain, where weeds grew and covered the entrance to the cave, but with Lu Meng's eyes, he still saw a large black hole. When Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu saw it, they hurriedly walked up. Zhang Xiu looked at the dark hole in front of him and ordered: "Light the torches and draw the war knives in case of accidents." β
Lu Meng said: "General Zhang, let's go!" β
He didn't draw his sword to defend himself, as did the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion behind him, but lit the torches and walked inside.
In this kind of narrow road, the Ma Jun crossbow is undoubtedly the most suitable.
The group walked into the hole with torches held high.
The tunnel was dark and dark, and gradually went down, and the more Lu Meng walked inside, the more he felt that he had turned a corner, and then walked in the direction of Wancheng. Along the way, Lu Meng carefully looked at the situation of the tunnel, the road was a little damp, and some places were blocked, and Lu Meng needed them to clean up the road.
The group walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally came to the end.
Ahead were steps after steps, which began to extend to the ground.
Zhang Xiu glanced back at Zhang Ren and the others, and said: "I am familiar with the situation inside the city, I will take a look at the situation outside, you follow me, be careful, don't make a sound." β
Zhang Ren and Lu Meng both nodded, their expressions a little solemn.
What is the situation, it depends on where the tunnel leads?
Lu Meng looked back at the eight soldiers behind him and commanded in a low voice: "Extinguish all the torches in your hands and don't attract the attention of outsiders." After finishing speaking, Lu Meng first extinguished the torch in his hand, and then the other eight soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion also extinguished the torch in his hand. Seeing this, Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu knew that they could only move forward in the dark, so they hurriedly extinguished the torches.
The group groped their way up the stairs.
The further you go, the fresher the air becomes, and you can see a glimmer of light.
They were next to each other, their steps were light, and they didn't make any sound.
At tea time, Zhang Xiu finally came to the end and walked out of the tunnel. He stood at the entrance of the tunnel, did not rush out recklessly, still hiding in the dark and carefully examining the situation outside. Zhang Ren followed behind Zhang Xiu and asked softly, "Senior brother, where is the position where we walked out?" β
Zhang Xiu's brows furrowed, but he said with some excitement: "This is the backyard of the county guard's mansion, and the place where we are is in a rockery, you can know it if you look around carefully." β
As far as the eye can see, there are ponds, corridors, pavilions, and no soldiers guarding them.
The lights inside the county guard mansion were bright, and the fire was still on.
It is these lights that give a glimmer of light to the passage inside the rockery.
The underground passage leading to the outside of the city is actually located in the rockery, which is incredible. No matter who it is, when you see the rockery flowing water, the first thing that comes to mind is that the scenery is beautiful and the scene is pleasing to the eye. Who would wonder if there is a passage under the rockery?
Obviously, there is a strong sense of seclusion.
Zhang Xiu looked at Zhang Ren and asked, "Senior brother, we have figured out the tunnel, do we need to investigate again?" β
Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "No need to inquire about the news, we will return immediately." β
Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "Although this place is hidden, it can't be guarded by soldiers, in case it is suddenly discovered, we will be easily blocked." I left two soldiers in the tunnels to keep an eye on the situation. As he spoke, Lu Meng instructed Liu Yang and another soldier to stay to prevent anything unusual at the entrance of the cave.
Then, the group began to retreat.
It's slower to come in, and it's much easier to go back.
It only took half an hour for the group to run out of the cave and run towards the Shu army camp.
After Wang Can learned that LΓΌ Meng and others had returned, he immediately brought LΓΌ Meng, Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu over, and Guo Jia, Zhou Cang, Huang Xu and others to discuss the countermeasures for attacking Wancheng.
Wang Can first said: "Bo Ming, tell me about the authentic situation. β
At that moment, Zhang Xiu told the whole process in 1510, and explained that the exit was in the county guard's mansion.
Wang Can smiled and said happily: "In this way, our soldiers can easily enter the city, and there is no need to wait two days before attacking the city." Moreover, Liu Bei allowed his soldiers to disturb the people, and if we wait for one more day, the harm to the people will be greater. We have set the time for the siege tomorrow, what do you think? β
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Lord, you have to let some soldiers enter the tunnel first." After estimating that they enter the city, they will attack again, so that they can be flanked on both sides. β
Wang Can said: "Fengxiao's words are reasonable, and it should be so. β
After a pause, Wang Can looked at Zhang Xiu and ordered: "Bo Ming, you are familiar with the situation in Wancheng, and the people in the city also recognize you. Therefore, you led a part of the soldiers to enter Wancheng through the tunnel, and after you came out of the county guard, you quickly exterminated the Han soldiers in the city, and at the same time called on the people in the city to resist Liu Bei. If we can mobilize the people of the whole city to oppose Liu Bei, even if we don't complete the attack, we can easily achieve victory. β
Zhang Xiu hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the last general will definitely complete the task." β
Wang Can nodded, and shouted again: "Zhang Ren listens to the order!" β
Zhang Ren hugged his fists and said: "The end will be!" β
Wang Canlang commanded: "You and Zhang Xiu are brothers, cooperate tacitly, you and Zhang Xiu will fight from the city together, I hope the two of you can make the first contribution." β
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ren hugged their fists and said: "I will live up to the high expectations of the lord!" β
Wang Can rolled his eyes and said, "Zhang Liao and Lu Meng listen to the order!" β
"The last general!"
The two immediately stood up and clenched their fists and shouted.
Wang Can ordered: "Tomorrow, the two of you will be the vanguard and attack the Han army head-on." β
Zhou Cang asked, "Lord, where is the last general?" β
Wang Can thought for a while and said, "Zhou Cang, you take a part of the soldiers to spread a big net around Wancheng and wait for Liu Bei to break through. When our army breaks through the city, Liu Bei will definitely rush out, so what you have to do is to wait for Liu Bei to escape, and then lead the troops to encircle and suppress Liu Bei, and be sure to kill or capture Liu Bei. β
"No!"
Zhou Cang nodded and stopped, and retreated.
Wang Can smiled and waved his hand; "Okay, the matter of attacking Wancheng is decided like this, let's go down, rest well, and prepare for tomorrow's big battle."
And they all got up and took their leave, and they all returned to their tents to rest.
Wang Can sat alone in the tent, his eyes flashing with joy.
Breaking Wancheng is as easy as a snap.
