Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

Chapter 263: This is a tunnel war

Click! Click! ...Suddenly there were several noises above my head. Xia Houyuan's heart moved and quickly moved back. Almost at the same time, there was a loud rumbling noise from the top of the head, and the whole tunnel actually collapsed, and the passage that I had seen just now was completely blocked by the rock that collapsed from above! Dozens of people and the rebellious soldier were all buried under the thick earth and rocks. It is naturally impossible to survive!

Xia Houyuan was shocked and angry, worried that the tunnel would collapse again, and urged the officers and soldiers to withdraw quickly. The order was passed on quickly, and the two thousand elites hurriedly backed away, and in a short while all quit the tunnel.

Soon after, an officer rushed to Cao Cao and reported: "Lord Qi, our army entered two tunnels, and the two tunnels suddenly collapsed. General Zhao Laosheng and more than a hundred officers and soldiers were crushed underneath!"

Cao Cao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "How could this happen?" The officer shook his head and said he didn't know. In fact, the reason is very simple. The tunnel will naturally not collapse on its own for no reason. This is a contingency measure laid out by Lu Bujun long ago. Ordinary soldiers do not know that only officers above the commander know that there is not only one secret post, but two, not far from the entrance of each tunnel. The second secret post is hiding in a more hidden place, and their role is more important. Once these secret whistles receive an order or find that the situation is not right, they will immediately activate a mechanism, which is a flap above the tunnel. The flap is usually fixed, but as long as a plug is pulled out, the flap will immediately fall down. The soil and rocks placed on the flap will suddenly lose support and dump into the tunnel. Although the soldier knew the entrances of the two tunnels, he didn't know that there was a secret guard and the earth-rock mechanism because of insufficient positions. When he took Xia Houyuan and others to remove the first secret post, the second secret post hidden not far away immediately discovered that the situation was wrong, so he quickly activated the mechanism. In an instant, more than a dozen squares of earth and rocks were removed. It poured down from above and crushed dozens of people! Xia Houyuan reacted fast enough, otherwise even he might be crushed to death under the earth and rocks!

Cao Cao thought of Xia Houyuan and said anxiously, "Is General Xiahou all right?"

"General Xiahou is okay. He is commanding officers and soldiers on the scene to re-dig the tunnel."

Cao Cao thought for a while, and immediately said, "I'll go and see." As he said, he ran under the city wall, and everyone hurried to follow.

Before long, Cao Cao rushed to the scene with the support of thousands of armored guards. Xia Houyuan was clearing the gravel and soil from the tunnel. Seeing Cao Cao coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay him a visit: "The Prime Minister!" Cao Cao asked, "How is the situation?"

Xia Houyuan said with an annoyed look: "It's really God can't help me! Seeing that the enemy army's assembly area is in front of me, the tunnel suddenly collapsed! At this moment, the enemy army must have been alert!"

"Where is the soldier whose head is coming?"

Xia Houyuan pointed to the tunnel, "I have been buried in it with dozens of people under me, and I must be more ill-informed!"

Cao Cao frowned and patted Xia Houyuan, "Come slowly, since they know they are hiding underground, they don't want to run away." After thinking for a while, he asked: "Do you know the authentic way?" Xia Houyuan immediately Pointing to a courtyard behind the donkey shed, "It should be extended to the yard over there. By the way, the staging area seems to be under that yard." Cao Cao smiled and immediately ordered the messenger to pass the order to the yard. Two thousand officers and soldiers came, and they pointed to the courtyard over there and said to the two thousand officers and soldiers: "Go to that courtyard and divide into two teams. One team is divided into two, one is on guard, the other is digging down, and the second team is everywhere. Searching, maybe there is an authentic entrance and exit hidden in that courtyard." Two thousand officers and soldiers rushed into the courtyard immediately, digging and digging, searching and searching, a scene full of enthusiasm.

After more than two hours, the sky gradually turned white, the night finally passed, and the earth quickly brightened up.

Cao Cao lay on the top of the city gate to rest. After a busy night, he was very tired, and he slept very deep, snoring. Xia Houyuan was still commanding the clearing of tunnels on the spot. There was a burst of shouts from the tunnel, and then an officer who was staying at the tunnel entrance rushed to Xia Houyuan with joy and reported: "General, the tunnel is clear!" Xia Houyuan was overjoyed and grabbed himself. His broad knife led hundreds of elites into the tunnel. When he rushed forward, the earth and rocks that had blocked the tunnel were basically cleared. Xia Houyuan was overjoyed. The handsome man walked through this place and saw a group of soldiers crowding not far in front, with countless burning torches illuminating the walls of the tunnel. Xia Houyuan felt strange, stepped forward and asked in a loud voice; "What's the matter?"

When all the officers and soldiers heard Xia Houyuan's yelling, they turned around to pay respect. The leading officer said immediately: "General, the front is blocked by a lot of soil and rocks!"

Xia Houyuan frowned, stepped forward, and all the officers and soldiers gave way. When Xia Houyuan reached the end, he saw countless earth and rocks obstructing the tunnel and filling the tunnel. He was immediately annoyed and cursed, "Are these people all rats?"

The officer clasped his fists and asked, "General, what should I do now?" Xia Houyuan looked thoughtful, and for a moment he didn't know what to do. Although he has a lot of experience on the battlefield, he has never dealt with opponents underground. Facing the tunnel in front of him, he really has a feeling of being at a loss.

At this moment, another military officer hurried over from the outside, clasped his fists and said anxiously: "General, the officers and soldiers who dug through the courtyard have dug their tunnel!" Xia Houyuan was overjoyed, and the handsome man immediately went out of the tunnel and rushed into a short distance. Of the courtyard. When I arrived at the job site, I saw that a large pit measuring several meters square was dug out in the middle of a huge yard. Numerous earth and rocks piled up around to form a huge circle. At the bottom of the large pit, it was a one-meter square. The round hole, dark, seems to lead to a deep underground.

"When was it dug through?" Xia Houyuan asked.

An officer on the scene immediately clasped his fist and said, "It was dug through just now."

"Has anyone gone down?" "Not yet."

Xia Houyuan cautiously walked to the round hole at the bottom of the big pit, and dozens of officers and soldiers could not help but surround him. Xia Houyuan looked under the black hole, and saw nothing in the pitch black. Xia Houyuan frowned and shouted: "Torch." Dang even an officer handed a torch. Xia Houyuan took the torch and threw it into the black hole. The torch fell straight down and fell to the ground. It was still burning. Under the shining light of the flashing fire, everyone saw that there seemed to be a hall below. Xia Houyuan felt that the place below this should be the assembly area that the soldier said earlier. Xia Houyuan was so excited that he immediately brought four ropes and tied them to the surrounding tree trunks, and then hung the four ropes into the hole.

Xia Houyuan then asked the officers and soldiers to throw a dozen or so torches into the cave, and then 50 people who dare to die were the first to enter the cave. Fifty daring men bite the ring with their swords and shields on their backs, dragging the ropes and sliding into the hole one by one. Everyone watched nervously, but after all the fifty daring men went down, they were not attacked. The people outside the cave couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Xia Houyuan asked in a loud voice, "What's the situation below?"

One person said loudly: "It's not a small room, but there is no one. Huh? What is this?"

Xia Houyuan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"On the ground, why is there so much water?! No, this is not water! Go!"

At this moment, the Cao army officers and soldiers outside the cave suddenly saw a sudden light in the cave, and the fire burst out from the entrance of the cave. The officers and soldiers standing near the entrance of the cave saw that the flames in the cave flooded the entire cave hall in an instant. Those fifty dared The dead man was caught in a sea of ​​flames and screamed, vying to climb up through ropes! The people outside the cave hurriedly helped, dragging seven or eight people up. When almost everyone was dragged up, the flames burned all over! The people around quickly helped to put out the fire! When I went to the entrance of the cave again, there was no sound anymore. I saw dozens of people lying in the sea of ​​flames, bursts of burnt smell coming out! Everyone was shocked and angry, and some officers and soldiers couldn't help cursing!

...

Cao Cao stood on the wall and looked at the city, frowning slightly.

Xia Houyuan rushed up, knelt down on one knee, and said with a look of shame and indignation: "The prime minister, the ultimate incompetence, has damaged dozens of brothers, but he didn't even touch the other side's doorway!"

Cao Cao helped Xia Houyuan up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "There is nothing to worry about! We have even occupied this city, and now they are just some mice hiding in this city and making trouble for me! We will meet sooner or later. Pick them all out!" Xia Houyuan couldn't help but regain a lot of confidence when he heard this.

"There are enemies!" "Quickly!" ... A chaotic shout came suddenly. Cao Cao and the others hurriedly followed the sound and saw from a distance that fierce fighting seemed to be taking place in a street to the north of the city. Xia Houyuan hurriedly said, "I'll go and see!" Then he raised the sword and ran down the city wall.

Cao Cao and the others watched the street, and saw that their officers and soldiers rushed into the houses on both sides, and the sound of fierce fighting was heard. But it didn't take long before the sound of fighting stopped. Cao Cao couldn't help frowning slightly. Xunyou and Liu Ye all showed a somewhat worried expression.

Before long, Cao Cao and others saw Xia Houyuan handsome rushed to the scene, and soon after, Xia Houyuan rushed here with a dozen cavalry.

Xia Houyuan rushed to the top of the city and came to the side of Cao Cao. He clasped his fist with an annoyed expression: "Prime Minister, the enemy ambushed us again just now, killing more than two hundred people. There must be authentic enemy troops on both sides of the street. Entrance and exit! This kind of battle is really furious!" Cao Cao scolded with a smile: "The **** Lu Bu came up with this method! What a hateful!"
