In the Tianshi City Bell Tower, Xiahou's temporary headquarters, looking at the crowds of people who continued to come in and out, he sighed, turned around and returned to his office. He poured a cup of tea.
While he was drinking tea, his bodyguard ran back.
Breathlessly.
"Teacher, call me!"
Xiahou nodded and then spoke.
"Will the security team rush into the city again?"
"Yes, they are still charging! And because there are too many people, they are charging extremely fiercely. They have already broken out of our first blockade and hit our second blockade!"
Xia Hou looked solemn.
"There are no outsiders here, just the two of us. I want to ask you something, and you tell me the truth! Just say what you think! Don't think about anything else! No matter what you say, I won't blame you! Not to mention
I will hold you accountable! Do you hear me?"
"Okay, sir, tell me!"
"If they rush down according to this pattern, is it possible to completely break through our three blockades?"
"This is definitely possible!"
When the guard said this, the conversation changed.
"But if they charge according to this pattern, they will have to sacrifice at least three or four times more people to break through our encirclement!"
"That would be nearly 200,000 people. Can Tengfei and the others spare so many people?"
Xia Hou squinted his eyes and thought for a moment.
"If so many people are needed to fill the hole, it shouldn't be possible!"
"I think it's impossible, but they have already paid so many casualties! If they give up halfway, wouldn't everything before be in vain? Can Tengfei be willing to do so?"
Xia Hou looked serious and thought carefully.
"What you said makes sense!"
The guard continued.
"This Tengfei is not an ordinary character, he is also a boss who can do anything! He started from scratch and has come to this point! It was his boss who attacked the Tianshi City police patrol before! Now he dares to attack Tianshi City like this. He is sure
Have your own confidence! Otherwise, your death will not be in vain!"
The guard's words instantly awakened Xia Hou, and he nodded seriously.
"Then tell me, where does his confidence lie?"
"I really don't know about this! I can't see how confident they are! And in fact, we also have our own trump card!"
"Once we drag down and withstand their charge, once the battle in the old city is resolved, free up your hands and provide support! Even ten Tengfei can't rush in!"
Mentioning the old city, Xiahou felt a little energetic again.
"How is the situation over there in the old city?"
"It was said that it had reached the final stage before, but I didn't expect that this storm delayed the progress! There are mountainous areas over there, and the weather conditions will be even worse. I don't know what's going on there yet, but I don't think there is a big problem.
!General, don’t worry, we will be fine!”
Xia Hou smiled, then lit a cigarette, took out something similar to a remote control from the drawer, and handed it to his guard.
"Aqiu, how many years have you been following me?"
"I have been with you since I became a soldier, and it has been more than thirty years now!"
"I've given you so many opportunities over the years and offered you a promotion. Why did you refuse?"
"Because I just want to be with the teacher! I don't want anything else! I'm not used to being away from the teacher!"
Xiahou was so moved that he handed the remote control to Aqiu.
"Put this away!"
Ah Qiu picked up the remote control with confusion on his face.
"Teacher, what is this?"
Xia Hou took a deep breath and continued.
"The secret passage we are guarding now is called the underground secret passage! It is a secret passage leading to the outside of the city that the old city lord built in secret! When this secret passage was first built, it was used for refuge in times of crisis and for emergency rescue. Critical moments
It is used to determine the universe! Therefore, this secret passage is large in scale and can accommodate many people in and out!"
"This time, Yu Shao's direct troops, as well as Wu Mu's special forces, all sneaked into Tianshi City through this secret passage!"
"After they entered Tianshi City, this secret passage was exposed! Under normal circumstances, we should completely destroy and seal this secret passage! But do you know why we didn't do this?"
"Leave this secret passage for the enemy to cause greater casualties to them like now!"
"This is only part of it, there is another more important reason, that is, if this underground tunnel is destroyed, it will affect the foundations of many buildings in the city, and may cause foundation collapse in many areas. The subway tracks will definitely not be used. Seriously,
It will also cause the collapse of some buildings! It is precisely because of this that Director Su did not directly blow up this secret passage!"
The guard heard this.
"Then we can think of other ways to block this secret passage completely!"
"Yes, you are right, but doesn't it take enough time to use other means? In the current situation, from when Yu Shao's direct troops entered the city to now, when did we stop? We simply don't have the time or energy to seal the city.
Damn this tunnel! So, we now have two ways to deal with this tunnel."
"As long as the tunnel can be defended normally, we will wait until all the troubles in the city are solved, and then we will fully and scientifically seal and fill this place! This is the best and most ideal way!"
"But if the tunnel cannot be defended normally, then we have only the last way left! Then blow up the tunnel!"
"If we really get to that point, there is really no way out. No matter how serious the consequences are, we have to blow it up! Because the tunnel must completely collapse! Only in this way can we stop the soldiers outside from entering the city to fight continuously!"
"We have secretly installed the explosives to detonate the tunnels. And almost all of them are installed in the tunnels or other hidden areas! Make sure they are not easily discovered! The remote control I put in front of you now is to detonate the explosives.
The remote you need!"
Xia Hou looked serious.
"There are two remote controls in total, one in my hand and one in yours! If it really comes to a critical moment and I am too late or unable to respond, you must detonate the explosive cleanly and decisively! Block the exit completely.
!Did you hear that?”
The expression on Ah Qiu's face changed instantly.
"Teacher, I can't do this kind of thing, and"
"I say you can do it, you can do it, there's nothing extra!"
Xia Hou's attitude was firm.
"I believe in your ability! And don't take this matter too seriously. What I said is the worst result. If you continue to develop normally and can't get to that step, there is no need. If you really get to that step
, Aren’t I still standing in front of you? If I am no longer here, it will be your turn! I am just a backup!"
"Teacher, nothing can happen to you!"
"That's it, so don't put so much pressure on yourself. As long as you and I know this, don't spread it out! Remember, you are my last move! If the situation really changes dramatically, I can't handle it anymore. Don't
Any hesitation, you know?"
Ah Qiu took a deep breath and raised his hands to experience.
"Yes, Commander!"
Xiahou nodded.
"Now, we still have to do our best to blockade and suppress them! Kill them as many as they come!"
"Yes! Master!"
Ah Qiu raised his hand to salute, bid farewell to Yu Shao, turned around and left. Soon, Yu Shao was the only one left in the office. He lit a cigar, puffed away smoke, and called his subordinates one by one to give them encouragement.
!
After finishing his work, he walked to the bed, stared at the violent storm outside the window, and murmured to himself.
"Hey, you said this heavy rain won't fall sooner or later. Why does it happen to rain at this time? Isn't it over?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the sky, which was already a little hazy.
"Stop it, end it all as soon as possible, it's been so many days, it's enough!..."
In the General's Mansion, Su Batian sat alone in the living room without saying a word, with his bodyguard standing beside him.
"General, go take a rest."
Su Batian's eyes were blood red and his voice was not loud.
"It's okay. If you're sleepy, just go to sleep and I'll wait for myself."
"If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible! General, we can't stay like this anymore."
Su Batian shook his head.
"Have you found Agui's body?"
"No, according to Su Hongliang's character, it is impossible for us to find it. Moreover, it is best not to find it. If we find it, we will not be able to explain it clearly."
Su Batian sighed.
"You said that things have developed to this point, am I responsible?"
The guard bit his lip lightly and did not say a word.
"Just tell me. It's okay. I won't hold you accountable, but I want to listen to the truth!"
The guard thought for a long time and then spoke slowly.
"I think you shouldn't have wanted Su Hongliang to die in the first place! You should have given him a way to live more or less!"
"You also think that I am adding insult to injury and burning bridges across rivers?"
"General, I don't mean that"
"Okay. You go to rest and let me wait for a while!"
Su Batian drove away the guards, leaned on the sofa, thought for a long time, and then dialed the phone.
"Hey, it's me. What's going on with you guys now?..."
The violent storm lasted all night and gradually stopped in the morning of the next day. The entire Phoenix Mountain Scenic Area was surrounded by heavy fog. The visibility was less than one meter!
It can’t be said that you can’t see anything in the old city, but there is almost no visibility!
Within the temporary headquarters, Su Hongliang was a little angry.
"After the violent storm, there is a thick fog, but will it be over again? How can you find someone in this kind of weather!"
Yu Shao was calm.
"Okay, stop shouting. Who can be God's master? If we can't find them, can't they not find us? Let's just touch each other. A blind cat will kill a mouse, even if it happens!"
After saying this, Yu Shao picked up the walkie-talkie.
"The action continues..."
After giving the order, the troops of the two divisions continued to be on guard below the scenic area. The troops of the remaining two divisions had already begun to move closer to the coordinates of the cave where Wang Xiao and the others were hiding! Li Qianqian, the commander-in-chief of the front line, now also took the initiative to search with the team.
"Everyone, be careful of signs nearby and see if anyone is passing by!"
"There are no traces left. They have been washed away by the heavy rain!"
Li squinted forward and was about to speak when someone shouted from the side.
"Sir, there is something discovered here!"
Following the direction of the sound, Li Xiang and the others hurried forward. The area directly ahead was a sunken mountain.
A soldier then spoke.
"This area is definitely not a landslide, but a rockfall caused by a man-made explosion!"
