Chapter 237 There is a secret way for the golden cicada to escape from the shell
"Zhinu, we can withdraw!"
Although Lao Shen was born a little early and did not know the immortal poet Li Taibai, he was well versed in Taibai's principles.
When the matter is over, the Buddha's robes are gone, hiding his merits and fame.
The Di Qin garrison, which numbered more than a hundred people, was completely wiped out. Some were dead, some were not dead, and they barely had a few breaths left.
The bodies lying on the water are the bodies of the Qin Army, and the bodies lying on the shore are still the Qin Army. Most of them are due to Police Shen.
If you don’t leave now, when will you wait?
Tan Pingzhi simply gathered troops, and the Jin army's squad of 500 people suffered dozens of casualties, although they were far less than the Qin army's losses.
But the remaining few people have absolutely no way to fight against the hundreds of thousands of troops in the city. It is the best way to escape while no one is aware of it.
Liu Yu's face was full of worry, and he was suddenly in a dilemma.
The flames soaring into the sky in front of them reflected the river water, and the warships they set ablaze were one after another, becoming more and more numerous and prosperous.
What is certain is that even if Di Qin's soldiers arrive in time, they will not be able to extinguish the fire in front of them!
This was obviously a miracle, but Liu Yu was not excited.
time!
Why didn't you think there would be such a time difference?
When they were making plans at Victory Fort, both Liu Yu and Wang Mi were convinced that Liu Yu would lead a surprise attack from the front, and Wang Mi would lead a large group of troops and follow suit. Here Liu Yu burned the warship, and then Bian Wang Mi was just in time to welcome them and together they faced off against the Di Qin defenders in Xiangyang City.
It can be said that the plan itself is good, and it does not seem to have any loopholes at first glance.
However, when this operation is carried out in the field, the loopholes are ready to appear!
Liu Yu had no idea that the defenses around Huikou were so lax, and killing Di Qin soldiers was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
As the fire spread, Liu Yu knew very well that soon a large number of soldiers would arrive from Xiangyang City to surround the Jin army.
At that time, these hundreds of Jin army brothers will be unable to fly!
Originally, I thought that the follow-up troops led by Liu Yu and Wang Mi would be able to meet them by chance, so there would be no need to worry about the large number of defenders in Xiangyang City.
Because Wang Mi brought not only a large number of Beifu soldiers, but also a considerable amount of baggage, which included various weapons and, most importantly, a large number of siege equipment.
Such as stone cannons, Lingyun ladders, and even tools for digging tunnels.
With these equipment and the troops, the Jin army was able to compete with the Qin army in the city.
However, the complexity of reality forced Liu Yu to reconsider the matter carefully.
The current situation is that Liu Yu's side ended the battle early and the two parties did not catch up. However, the fire that soared into the sky cannot be concealed. In less than half an hour, the main force of Di Qin will arrive.
This is how to do?
This is completely unexpected.
For a moment, Liu Yu was speechless, and all the soldiers gathered around him, waiting for his order.
However, he really couldn't say this order.
Tan Pingzhi cannot be counted on. Old Tan is good at martial arts, but his brain is not that bright. He has to obey Liu Yu's command at every step.
So...who can you count on?
Liu Yu shifted his gaze and saw Police Shen.
When did he come here?
Liu Yu clearly remembered that he had just seen him jump on the grasshopper boat to chase down the Di Qin soldiers who were trying to escape.
Back so soon?
"Slave slave, without further ado, come with me quickly!"
Old Shen was very excited. Ji Nu finally looked at him, and he, Old Shen, had to speak quickly.
Liu Yu was surprised: "Follow you?"
"Shen Canjun, where can we go?"
Looking around the back entrance, there is either a bottomless river surface, luxuriant grass, a few isolated small watchtowers, and nothing else.
Di Qin's territory covers a hundred miles in radius. Where can these Jin troops go?
"Don't worry about it, just follow me!" Lao Shen waved his hand in an imposing manner, which did seem somewhat convincing.
"With so many people, it's not something that can be done in a moment. If we don't hurry up, Di Qin's people will come over!"
Before Liu Yu agreed, Lao Shen had already taken action. The soldiers under his command had already been assembled. Liu Yu lowered his head slightly: "Okay!"
"Lead the team with this, and we will follow Shen Canjun!"
Although I don't know what kind of path Police Shen is pointing out to everyone, it is more useful to move than to stand still.
After everyone gathered, Police Shen did not lead the way in a hurry, but took out a piece of paper from his arms.
Under the blazing firelight, all the writing on the paper was clearly visible.
"Shen Canjun, this is..."
At the west gate tower of the back gate, with a radius of 531 meters and under 18 willow trees, there is a secret passage connecting the Victory Fort outside the city.
I know all the words, but this is the meaning, which seems a bit obscure.
"Secret passage?"
"Is there a secret passage near here?"
It is unbelievable that Tan Pingzhi, who traveled all the way from north to south and even to Jingkou, had never seen such a magical thing.
Furthermore, if there is a secret passage leading to Fort Victory, why has Fort Master Liu never mentioned it before?
"I haven't checked it on the spot. These are the messages sent by the divine fortune teller from the city before. Before, when the management of Xiangyang City was not so strict, he had personally checked it."
"Look at the number of steps and the position of the willow tree. They have all been measured by the divine operator. There should be no problem."
Time did not wait for us. Although everyone still had doubts about Police Shen's words, their feet were not idle and they almost ran towards the fence at a trot.
"Shen Canjun, that magic fortune teller looks so young, why would he be a spy for you in Xiangyang City?"
"His Gua stall is very popular in the city, and he should make a lot of money."
From Tan Pingzhi's point of view, it is really incomprehensible that a young man with a stable income and a good income should spend a lot of money and take great risks to work as a spy for Police Shen. .
"When did you place him in Xiangyang City? You did have foresight."
Putting aside these compliments for the time being, a few people rushed to the original fence and discovered that there was no fence anywhere?
They had moved their position a long time ago and are no longer where they are!
Police Shen collapsed.
"this……"
"What should I do?"
"We have removed the fence, where should we start counting?"
Seeing that all the fences were pushed to pieces by them, Old Shen was anxious and sweating profusely, but Liu Yu stared at him in surprise.
"Shen Canjun, why are you so anxious?"
"Besides the fence, isn't the watchtower still there?"
watchtower?
Lao Shen took out the letter paper again, looked at it carefully, and then suddenly realized,
yes!
The watchtower on the west side of the fence. Although the position of the fence has been moved, the watchtower is still in the same place. Just start counting from the watchtower.
So what are you waiting for? Go to the watchtower and start counting!
This divine fortune teller was really capable and delivered the message in a very detailed manner. Not only did he have the general location of the fence, but he also specified the watchtower to the west, making it easier for people to determine the starting location.
The target of Xigang Tower is obvious and easy to find. Liu Yu found it immediately and started to measure the steps with his feet.
