Jing Yuan, Wei Wushuang and many other generals were shocked after hearing Sylvia's report and didn't know what to do for a while.
After a while, the soldiers who used large urns to listen to the underground movements also reported that there were very dense digging sounds underground, so many that the intervals between the sounds could not be heard at all, and they were completely connected and could not be heard.
Identify the direction of the sound, because there are too many sound sources!
Everyone looked at each other in shock, because the conclusions of the two investigative methods were completely consistent, confirming the reliability of this information.
The blonde girl looked extremely worried and said: "I can see the location of the tunnel, but I can't know where the enemy will rush up."
All the generals looked deeply worried.
Wei Wushuang said in a deep voice: "I think what the commander of the Tattoo Army wants to do most right now is to destroy the "Sun-shooting Crossbows" on the ground. Because only these "Sun-shooting Crossbows" can cause a large number of deaths of the Tattoo Army's heavy infantry.
And it forces the Overlord Spider to not dare to attack directly!"
Jing Yuan, Qu Ao, Rong Feigang and other generals thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed with Wei Wushuang's analysis.
Jingyuan immediately ordered: 30,000 Chu army infantry and 20,000 Qi army infantry were immediately dispersed to each sun-shooting crossbow. They must protect these powerful weapons from being destroyed! Thunder warriors and another 10,000 Chu army infantry served as mobile forces.
Reinforce critical areas at any time!
After hearing the order, the 70,000 soldiers of the Chu and Qi armies immediately took action and ran to their respective fighting positions. Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps and the friction of weapons and armor.
The soldiers of the two armies quickly carried out the order. Soon, there were twenty or thirty soldiers of the Chu and Qi armies standing beside each "sun-shooting crossbow".
Wei Wushuang frowned and quietly watched the orderly actions of the soldiers from both armies. Suddenly, he thought of another thing, and a look of extreme shock appeared on his face.
Wei Wushuang glanced at Sylvia subconsciously. The blond girl was startled by his terrifying expression, and then immediately thought of a very terrible thing, and couldn't help but screamed: "What if, those monsters come from here?"
Below, the sun-shooting crossbow is dug up and collapsed, how can we deal with it?!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan, Qu Ao, Rong Feigang and other generals were immediately shocked and were speechless for a long time, with beads of sweat oozing out from their foreheads.
.
Let's go back half an hour.
Outside the four gates of the East City, there are at least nearly two hundred overlord spiders at each gate. They are slashing and stabbing the ground outside the gate like crazy with their hard and sharp spider-legged spears.
Although these ground materials are paved with the best bluestone slabs from Chu State, their hardness is still far inferior to that of spider-legged swords and spears. Every time the spider-legged swords and spears strike, they can knock off eggs.
A large piece of bluestone soon revealed the brown-black dry hard soil underneath.
The eight spider legs of each overlord spider worked at the same time, shooting up the black soil like eight fountains, making the pit quickly become deeper. When the depth of digging was three to four feet, they no longer continued digging, but instead
To go deeper into the city.
Under the efficient work of the Overlord Spiders, more than 700 tunnels were located at different depths and rapidly extended into the city. A large number of slave soldiers followed the Overlord Spiders, using shovels and other tools to transport the black mud out of the tunnels.
, while 13,000 heavily armed tattooed heavy infantrymen slowly advanced behind the Overlord Spider, looking forward to a smooth massacre of the Chu-Qi coalition forces soon.
.
Time froze in terrifying silence. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chu-Qi Army could only hear their own intense heartbeats and the slight breathing of their comrades. They were always ready to defend these sun-shooting crossbows with their lives, because once these ace weapons
If the weapons are destroyed by the tattoo army, Pengcheng is finished, as are the two hundred thousand soldiers and civilians!
Sylvia, who had been keeping an eye on the radar, suddenly shouted: "Those overlord spiders have stopped advancing! They are all stopped under the sun-shooting crossbow! It looks like they are about to rush up!" And the soldiers who used large urns to listen to underground movements
They also shouted: "The sound of digging has changed, it seems that they are digging upwards!"
The already tense atmosphere escalated again. Tens of thousands of soldiers kept scanning the ground near them. The hands holding their weapons were trembling slightly, and their faces showed a look of high nervousness and anticipation of a fight.
The operators of the sun-shooting crossbow were even more nervous. Their left hands used to turn the crossbow and their right hands used to pull the trigger were sweating a lot.
.
Suddenly, dozens of Chu soldiers saw at the same time: five feet away from a "Sun-shooting Crossbow", a large area of the ground fluctuated. After a moment, there was a "crash", and the ground suddenly sank, revealing
A big hole with a radius of more than two feet!
Several soldiers who were closer to the entrance of the cave saw the dark, shiny large piece of carapace below the cave - this was the armor on the back of the Overlord Spider! The soldiers couldn't help shouting: "The enemy is coming!
"The tunnel has been dug through!"
Several nearby "sun-shooting crossbows" immediately turned to this cave, preparing to shoot the tattoo army or monsters that jumped up from the cave! The soldiers of the Chu and Qi army next to them squatted down to avoid blocking the sun-shooting crossbows.
Shooting direction.
The air seemed to freeze with tension. After a while, the Chu soldiers saw a head wearing a black helmet sticking out of the hole! But the tattooed soldier only looked around for a moment, and then immediately retracted.
.
Just when the soldiers were confused, a Chu army centurion shouted: "No! They are planning to dig in from below and shoot the sun crossbow!"
The soldiers understood immediately as soon as they heard this, and cold sweat broke out on their heads and bodies. But like the generals, no one could come up with a very effective way to deal with it. These soldiers all thought: The tattooed soldier just stuck his head out
The goal is to estimate the location and distance of the nearest sun-shooting crossbow in order to dig it out from below!
The centurion of the Chu army suddenly waved to his subordinates and said softly: "Follow me into the cave!" Then he took the lead and rushed towards the dark entrance of the cave. His more than twenty subordinates only hesitated for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, he followed.
The centurion of the Chu army crouched down, quickly but quietly approached the entrance of the cave, blocked his body with his shield, and carefully looked down the cave. But before he could see anything clearly, a sharp sword came down from the cave.
Then he stabbed forward. He hurriedly turned his head and blocked it with his shield. The sharp sword rubbed the edge of the shield and pierced his left cheek with a "plop" sound!
The centurion of the Chu army groaned in pain, and slashed down with the sword in his right hand! There was a "dang" sound, and the sword hit the enemy's shoulder. However, because the opponent's bronze armor was very thick, it only made a small crack.
, and no obvious harm was caused.
The centurion of the Chu army raised his head sharply, causing the tattooed army's sword to escape from his face. Then, regardless of his bloody face, he shouted: "Kill!", while blocking the bottom with his shield, he jumped down with his body!
When the other soldiers of the Chu army saw this scene, they immediately shouted and ran towards the cave.
