Just when Zhou Cang was getting angry, another scratching sound came from behind the collapsed earth and rocks. Zhou Cang was interrupted and his anger subsided. He quickly grabbed the soldier who understood the code and shouted:
"Here we go again, here we go again, what do you mean? What do you mean?"
The honest soldier who was kicked by Zhou Cang blushed and replied without listening carefully: "Silence!"
"Whoever you silenced was against you!"
Zhou Cang thought that the soldier had been kicked by him, and he was not convinced. He dared to tell him to shut up, and started to fight again while he was talking.
The soldier was also frightened. Before Zhou Cang made a move, he fell down first, waving his hands around, and said anxiously: "It's not me, it's not me, it's Chief Li, it's Chief Li, shush, shush! Listen, listen
, come again."
"Huh?" Zhou Cang stopped raising his fists and listened. Indeed, the "crack" sound sounded again.
Zhou Cang also understood that the "silence" that the soldier said was Li Guangming's translation. Zhou Cang quickly ordered the soldiers behind him in a low voice: "No one is allowed to make a sound. No one is allowed to make a sound without my order."
After saying that, Zhou Cang himself squatted down quietly, waiting quietly for the signal to come from behind the mound of soil. The soldiers behind him who were busy all also followed Zhou Cang's orders and movements, and slowly squatted down.
body.
Zhou Cang also figured it out at this time. Since Li Hei is still alive, then Cao Zhi should also be alive, and he may have encountered some danger at this time and needs to keep silent. The only thing he can do now is to cooperate and wait for instructions.
In this tunnel, he is not good at it, but Li Hei is the best, so now we can only listen to him.
Zhou Cang squatted for a while, but still didn't see any code signal coming from the other side. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He looked sideways and saw that the soldier who knew the code language was squatting beside him with his hands and knees. Because the place was crowded,
He was also afraid that Zhou Cang would beat him if he was unhappy. The soldier was quite pitiful. He almost huddled against a mud wall and did not dare to look at Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang reached out and poked him with his finger. The soldier was startled. He looked towards Zhou Cang nervously. He thought Zhou Cang was going to take it out on him again. But when he saw that was not the case, Zhou Cang was using his finger to poke him.
he.
The soldier looked at Zhou Cang blankly, not understanding what he meant. When Zhou Cang saw that the soldier was afraid of him, he also knew that he had scared him just now, so he forced a smile on his face and pointed his finger at himself.
He hooked both sides here to signal him to come over.
The soldier still didn't dare to go over. Zhou Cang suddenly stopped the fake smile that made Shen panic, and instead used his fingers to hook people, he leaned forward and grabbed the soldier with a cry, and quickly whispered: "Is that okay just now?
Stay, but you stay at the front from now on, listen carefully and don’t miss a single sound. When you’re done, when you get back, I’ll promote you to captain, do you understand?”
Upon hearing this, the soldier turned from panic to joy, and nodded heavily. Seeing that the soldier understood, Zhou Cang quickly moved his body slightly, took a step back, and made room for the soldier who could understand the code words to move forward, so that he could get away.
The collapsed earth wall is the closest.
Just as the soldiers got close to the earthwork arm, anxious voices came from behind Zhou Cang and others.
"How's it going? How's it going?"
"How's the situation?"
"How is the situation, my lord?"
"How is my elder brother?"
Zhou Cang immediately issued an order to silence the people behind him, and the order was relayed to the rear one by one. This order immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of those who came after him:
"What? How dare you tell me to be silent when I rebel against you?"
"Shh, shh..."
It turned out that it was Deng Ai, Pu Hu and Li Dian who arrived at this time. Because the tunnel was long and narrow and crowded with people, it was difficult for them to pass. When they approached the zigzag entrance of the cave, they couldn't help but ask.
The soldier who delivered the order might also be like the soldier who knew the code words just now, but still followed the original words of the order when facing Li Dian and others, thus causing dissatisfaction with Li Dian and others.
Fortunately, there was a counselor like Deng Ai who could calm down in trouble. When he saw all the soldiers sitting quietly in the tunnel, he had a hunch that something might be wrong. So Li Dian and other dissatisfied soldiers came over
When ordered to be silent, he stopped him in time. Together with Li Dian, Pu Hu and others, he made the soldiers blocked in the tunnel move back slightly, and thus successfully entered the zigzag curve, and found Zhou Cang to understand the situation.
While Zhou Cang was explaining the landslide situation to everyone, Cao Zhi and Li Hei on the other side had successfully climbed out along the entrance of the water hole.
The bright moon is hard to find tonight, and Shouchun, which has been sunny for many days, brings a spring rain tonight. A flash of lightning slides across the sky, followed by thunder, and then the raindrops begin to fall. It seems to be a heavy downpour. At this time,
Two black heads were found in a horse-drinking pond in the west city of Shouchun. A flash of "juanglang" lightning briefly illuminated the earth, and also illuminated the two heads.
These two people were Cao Zhi and Li Hei. After diving in the water for a while, the mud on their bodies had completely receded, and their original skin color had returned, and they were even a little white from the soaking.
Cao Zhi and Li Hei poked their heads out and took two deep breaths when they heard someone coming this way.
"What sound?"
"You're just blind, that's the sound!"
The two of them were talking like this, but the sound of footsteps still came towards the edge of the pool.
The war in Xicheng has always been tense. This place was originally a secluded place at the base of the city wall, and it was of little use. But with the arrival of Chen Yu, war preparations were stepped up. With the huge increase in the number of war horses gathered in Shouchun City, because of this
Chuli
The horse stable is quite close to the back garden of the county government, so Chen Yu turned it into a pond for drinking horses. The water is dug through an artificial stream in the back garden of the county government. This can solve the problem when Shouchun City is trapped.
, the problem of drinking water for horses.
In the past, the drinking water for these horses was usually driven out of the city by horse attendants, grooms, etc. to the river to drink water and wash themselves. But usually when the city was besieged, temporary drinking pools could only be dug in the city to solve this problem.
Coincidentally, Li Hei's tunnel was dug to the bottom of the pond, which was why he couldn't identify the dark soil. But fortunately, Li Hei dug through only a horse drinking pond, not a horse drinking pond.
A real river. If it were a real river, Cao Zhi and Li Hei would probably have become underwater ghosts by now.
When the tunnel collapsed, they were indeed crushed by falling earth and rocks, but luckily it only crushed their legs. Moreover, the collapse was only a small-scale collapse affected by external forces. It happened that Li
The zigzag tunnel that Hei dug to avoid the rammed earth foundation effectively supported and alleviated the landslide and did not destroy the entire tunnel.
After Cao Zhi and Li Hei were pushed into the water, they immediately struggled to get out of the mud and rocks and swam out of the water. At this time, they were still in the cave. They were a little panicked at first. They watched the water level in the cave continue to rise. They thought to themselves that
