All the way to the place where the secret passage was, I saw that the secret passage was located in an inconspicuous courtyard, and there were several soldiers guarding in front of the courtyard. ”

Wang Bei waved his hand and asked eagerly, "How is the secret passage?" ”

The soldier on the left shook his head and said, "My subordinates don't know. Lord Yang has just gone in and ordered us to stay here. ”

Wang Bei nodded, and then walked into the courtyard with Richard. The door of the house in the courtyard was open, and when he walked into the house, Richard immediately frowned, and there was a musty smell in the house. It's as if something has gone bad.

Walking into the side room, the smell is even stronger. I saw that the bed board in the room was lifted, and under the bed board was a hole for two people to get into, and this strange smell came from the hole.

A middle-aged man with a beard was standing at the entrance of the cave, and Wang Bei saw him and walked up to him and asked softly, "Vice General Yang"

Vice General Yang turned around and saw Wang Bei immediately bending down and was about to clasp his fists and salute, but Wang Bei waved his hand to signal no, "How is the secret passage?" ”

Vice General Yang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates don't know, the end of the secret passage has been destroyed, and I have sent someone to cross the river by boat overnight to investigate, but there is no news yet." But the situation should not be optimistic, general, you look at this. ”

As he spoke, he walked over to the cave and picked up a piece of rope, which was extremely thick, almost as thick as an adult's thigh.

Seeing the rope, Wang Bei frowned, and a bad premonition subconsciously rose in his heart, and said, "Is this ......?"

Vice General Yang nodded, "Our organ has been destroyed. ”

When Wang Bei heard this, he immediately smashed his fist on the edge of the hole, directly smashing the edge into a deep fist mark. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "These hateful Koreans! ”

Richard couldn't help but ask, "General Wang, is there still a mechanism in this secret passage?" ”

Wang Bei nodded and said, "The secret passage is long, and the air underneath is thin, so it is extremely difficult to ventilate. It's okay to leave on weekdays, but if you insist on gritting your teeth, you will come. But if you want to carry a heavy load of food on your back, even a strong man can't make a few trips. So we got a special mechanism to transport food, and now that the agency has been destroyed, it seems that the situation on the other side of the secret passage..."

Wang Bei did not continue, but sighed heavily. Seeing this, Richard did not continue to ask, and his mind immediately understood where the monster in this house came from.

After waiting for a while, I only heard the sound of wings fluttering in the courtyard, and a person immediately ran in, "General, the message from the other side of the river is back!" ”

Wang Bei's face changed, and he immediately said, "Give it to me quickly!" ”

After taking the note and spreading it out and taking a quick look, Wang Bei's face kept changing, and finally sighed helplessly, "The secret passage on the other side of the river was not only destroyed, but also completely blocked by several boulders, and even a fly couldn't fly in." To remove those boulders and rebuild the mechanism, it will take at least half a month of work by a hundred skilled craftsmen. ”

"Half Moon?!" Vice General Yang exclaimed, "General, our grain and grass can't last for half a month!" ”

Wang Bei smiled bitterly, "I know, not to mention that even if we can hold on for half a month, we won't be able to muster a hundred skilled craftsmen in the entire Yalu Pass." ”

Richard frowned tightly, "Then is there really no way but to withdraw the troops?" ”

Wang Bei sighed and said: "It's not that there is no way, the only way at present is to capture the Anti-Sui Pass before the grain and grass are exhausted." The anti-Sui Pass is the first line of defense against our Great Sui in Goryeo, and there is a lot of grain and grass in the pass, if we can capture the anti-Sui Pass, the grain and grass of the 70,000 army will also be settled. It's just that if this method is to succeed, the hope is too slim. ”

At present, the grain and grass are only enough for 80,000 soldiers to eat for 8 or 9 days, and if they attack the Sui Pass, the consumption of grain and grass will definitely increase, and they will last for seven days at most. Conquering the Anti-Sui Pass within seven days, even a person like Richard, who knows nothing about military affairs, knows that this is almost an impossible thing.

At this moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded in Richard's ears.

"Ding, random task release, seven days to break the city, do you accept?"

Mission: Break the city in seven days.

Description: Help the Yalu Pass soldiers to capture the Anti-Sui Pass within seven days.

Reward: Random martial arts proficiency level advancement.

"Random mission, what the hell am I relying on ???" Richard looked at the interface that suddenly popped up in front of him with a confused face, I haven't heard that there is any random task system in the world of rivers and lakes, can the system release the task directly without going through the mouth of the NPC?

took a screenshot of the mission interface, and Richard sent it directly to the team channel, with several question marks. After a few seconds, Li Xuanxuan bubbled, "Brother, you have received a random task." ”

"yes, can anyone tell me what the hell this is and why it's such a strange thing."

"This is a recent activity organized by Jianghu Company, which lasts for a week. Players may receive random tasks released by the system in their daily game life, and the task content and rewards are randomly generated, but generally speaking, the rewards are not bad. I received one during the mentorship mission when the event first started yesterday, and the reward was a purple suit. ”

"So that's the case..."Richard nodded, he had been staying by Yang Guang's side and pretending to be a personal guard for a while, and he didn't care much about the Jianghu Forum. I didn't expect Jianghu Company to launch such a strong activity with such a strong page tour style.

He then looked at the task interface and narrowed his eyes, "Is the random martial arts proficiency level advanced?" Seem... There's a bit of a trick. Anyway, there is no punishment for failing the mission, so it's better to give it a try. ”

"Accept."

Richard chose to accept the task, and then turned off the task interface and looked at Wang Bei. I saw Wang Bei's brows furrowed deeply, and a resolute expression flashed on his face: "This matter is too risky, it is better for us to withdraw the army." I will go and tell the emperor the specific details, I will bear the consequences, Vice General Yang, after the Yalu Pass, I will hand it over to you. ”

"General, don't !!" Vice General Yang immediately said urgently, Yang Guang's temper is moody, and now is the time to be ambitious. If Wang Bei went to talk to Yang Guang about withdrawing the army, wouldn't this be just hitting the blade? Thinking about it with his toes, he knew that Yang Guang must be furious and angry with him.

Wang Bei made up his mind to use his life to persuade Yang Guang to withdraw his troops!!

Wang Bei shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, Vice General Yang should not persuade me again." I can't watch the 70,000 soldiers in Guanzhong go to fight against Sui Pass and die, for now the only way is to withdraw the army. ”

At this time, Richard suddenly said to Wang Bei: "General, is it really impossible to capture the Anti-Sui Pass in seven days?" ”
