Chapter 1538 : Chapter 773: Liu Feng's Tunnel Battle (2)
Now it was almost time for the wheat to mature and harvest, but it encountered such a big change that the soldiers in the field had to retreat to Xudu for defense.
At this moment, the sun has already risen three poles, and large tracts of sunlight are shining down, nourishing the earth.
The millions of acres of fertile farmland in Guanglin are divided very finely, but they are still well-proportioned. At this moment, large tracts of wheat are floating on the fertile fields. The wheat is almost mature and is fluttering in the wind, exuding bursts of wheat fragrance.
In addition to these wheat fields, there are many villages that look like villages nearby. This is not an ordinary village, but a place where field soldiers are usually stationed.
But now the buildings are deserted and it looks very desolate.[
According to this, there is a medium-sized city about fifty miles east. It is called "Fengcheng". At its peak, this city had a population of tens of thousands. However, after the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Central Plains War, it now has ten rooms.
Nine empty.
There are only a few thousand people in the entire city. But even so, it is already considered a large county nearby. If it were this time in the past, it would be the time when people would be pouring into the city in an endless stream, but at this moment, the city gate is closed.
close.
The city gates on all sides were tightly closed, and a large number of people gathered under the city waiting to enter, but no matter how noisy the people were, the city gates would not open.
Slowly, the people dispersed and went back. The whole city suddenly seemed very cold. The outside of the city seemed very cold, but the city seemed very crowded.
Because tens of thousands of troops led by Xu Shu, Dong Gai, Gan Ning, and Wenpin were stationed in the city last night, temporarily taking advantage of the large number of empty houses that had been vacated after the city's population dropped sharply.
This time the army was dispatched, but Cao Jun's spies could not detect it, so they left the city under the cover of night and chose a small road to march.
Naturally, when Xu Shu and others arrived at the city, they closed the city gate to prevent the news from leaking.
At this moment, outside a house in the county government office in the city, a large number of soldiers were surrounded and heavily guarded. Inside the house, Xu Shu, Wenpin, Gan Ning, Dong Gai, as well as some soldiers and officials were crowded together.
There are only a few furnishings in the house, the biggest one being the bed.
"bump."
There was a soft sound, but Wenpin opened the bed, flipped up the bed board and threw it on the ground. Everyone looked down and saw that there was a cave under the bed.
A dark hole appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It was dark, deep, and had a musty smell that made people uncomfortable.
"Is this the tunnel built by General Wenpin eight months ago?" Xu Shu was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief.
"Exactly, such tunnels are densely distributed throughout the city, and eventually they converge into a large tunnel that can lead directly to Guanglin." Wenpin nodded and said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Wenpin said: "Originally, the place where the field soldiers lived was just tents. But the general built villages one after another. I am afraid that just for today, these magic soldiers descended from the sky to defeat Cao's army.
Caught off guard."
Everyone present was amazed when they heard this. According to this, Guanglin is more than fifty miles away, and the amount of manpower and physics required to dig out a tunnel that can be preserved for a long time is simply astronomical.
The purpose of this was just to sit back and wait for Cao's army to attack. Most people would hesitate about this kind of thing, or even be unable to make up their mind, but Liu Feng did it eight months ago. What a courageous act.
"As General Wen said, with this tunnel, we can avoid enemy spies and enter Guanglin without anyone noticing. What we have to do now is to wait for Zhang Liao and Zhang Jaw's army to enter Guanglin and start destroying
Fertile fields. Launch a night attack and defeat Cao's army in one fell swoop."
But apart from being amazed, he was even more excited. This backhand move was really wonderful. Xu Shu felt his blood boiling and blurted out.[
"That's exactly what it should be." Wenpin, Gan Ning, and Dong Gai nodded in unison.
