Chapter 1904 Cover-up
The small camp where Jiang Wangang was stationed was some distance away from the defense line of the big port guard. However, everyone rode fast horses and ran along the long ditch of poisonous insects. Three hours later, they arrived at the big port guard.
Xie Cheng and the others were waiting in front of the poisonous insect ditch of Dabuwei. When they saw Jiang Wankang coming, they hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "I will pay my last respects to General Jiang."
Jiang Wanzang was impatient with these vulgar etiquette and asked directly: "Where is the authenticity?"
He warned again: "Think carefully before you speak. If you lie about military information because you are greedy for credit, you will end up dead!"
"General, the generals know the importance and will not lie just because they want credit." Xie Cheng turned around and took Jiang Wangang to the edge of the poisonous insect ditch. Pointing to six thigh-thick pillars, he said, "Qian Qianhu has wolves. Those wolves had beaten the Rong people and remembered the smell of the Rong people. The general and others built six pillars where the wolves howled... One of the pillars was a little loose. The general and the others suspected that the land under this pillar might have been opened up. , the pillars will become loose only after the underground soil layer is destroyed.
Jiang Wankang looked under the poisonous insect ditch and said in surprise: "Did you knock down these pillars? With all your strength?"
The tops of the wooden pillars were smashed, which shows that Xie Cheng and the others used all their strength to knock down the wooden pillars.
Xie Cheng: "Yes, in order not to be noticed by the soldiers on the opposite side, Qin Qianhu led his soldiers to beat wooden pillars at night for two whole nights. Only after discovering that the wooden pillars were loose last night did he dare to go to the big army. General reports."
So they were not aiming without aim, but worked hard for two nights. The brothers who were beating wooden pillars with hammers were dislocated in more than a dozen arms. They found Jiang Wankang only after they found out that there was indeed a problem.
Xie Cheng also told these things and called the soldiers over to show Jiang Wanzang.
Jiang Wankang didn't say anything. He only called out to Master Craftsman Yu: "Come and take a look. This wooden pillar with three stones tied to it will loosen. Is it related to the digging of the underground soil?"
Six pillars, each pillar is tied with a rope, and the rope is tied with a different number of small stones, which is easy to distinguish.
"Yes." Craftsman Yu came over and took a look at the densely packed poisonous insects swarming under the long ditch. His vision went dark and he almost fainted.
I have to say, these poisonous insects are really durable. They didn't freeze to death in such a cold weather!
"Master, are you okay? How about letting me try?" Master Craftsman Yu's apprentice hurriedly supported him and asked for help.
Jiang Wangang refused: "No, you have only been in the Ministry of Industry for a few years? Do you have such a sense? This matter is of great concern, and a master like Master Yu must be involved."
Craftsman Yu nodded and said, "Luo Zi, General Jiang is right. If you can't do this job, go down first."
"...Yes." Luo Zi was very worried about the safety of Craftsman Yu. He was afraid that Craftsman Yu would fall into the ditch with poisonous insects, so he asked Xie Cheng for a rope, tied it to Craftsman Yu, and dragged Yu along with other craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry. Great craftsman.
Qin Sanlang saw that the poisonous insects had climbed onto the wooden pillar, so he gave a pack of insect repellent medicine to Craftsman Yu.
Only then did Master Yu go to shake the wooden pillar with peace of mind.
It took more than half a quarter of an hour before Craftsman Yu said: "The wooden pillars are loose, but there are too many people shaking them. I can't tell whether it was you who shook them loose or whether it was loosened because the underground soil was opened up. Well... let's do this, you can drive the wooden pillar down another half meter."
Xie Chengdao: "We used to fight at night. If we fight now, it will definitely attract the attention of the soldiers on the opposite side and make them alert."
Qin Sanlang said: "Let's fight. With so many of us gathered here, we have already alerted the enemy."
"Okay." Xie Li immediately went to make arrangements and asked the soldiers to fetch a heavy and long hammer. Two people held it up and hit the wooden pillar again.
Bang, bang, bang!
Two people work in groups to hit the wooden pillars. After two quarters of an hour, their strength decreases, and they immediately switch to another group. Repeat this for almost an hour...
Bang bang bang!
Across the ditch where the poisonous insects grow, the Rong people suddenly launched an attack. Countless huge flints came towards this side through catapults.
Swish swish!
Its a powerful crossbow and a big arrow, retreat quickly! Qin Sanlang shouted. Jiang Wankang did not retreat, but ordered: "Shield soldiers, form a shield array for protection. Master Yu, hurry up and shake the pillar!"
He thought to himself: The bandits may be guilty of conscience. It seems that there may be a tunnel under the poisonous insect ditch.
"Master Yu, hurry up!" Jiang Wankang shouted. Seeing that Master Yu was trembling with fear, he personally went over to pull him and asked the soldiers to build a circular shield array to protect them as they moved forward: "Don't be afraid, hurry up and shake him." , this is a great merit, if you accomplish this merit, your grandson will be able to escape his lowly status!"
Master Yu's ancestors committed a crime, and his family is guilty of crimes. If he wants to be expelled from his family, he must make meritorious deeds.
Craftsman Yu thought of his grandson and decided to risk his life. He followed the shield array to the edge of the poisonous insect ditch and lay down on the edge of the ditch. Ignoring the powerful crossbow arrows and flints flying above his head, he closed his eyes and took out his decades-old treasure. Skill, shaking the wooden pillar.
result
"The wooden pillar has sunk, there is a tunnel!" Craftsman Yu was extremely surprised. He pointed at the suddenly sinking wooden pillar and said: "General Jiang, the Rong people really dug a tunnel under the ditch. They want to..."
Bang bang bang!
Before Craftsman Yu could finish speaking, another batch of flints came over.
General Jiang used his strength and with a swish sound, he directly dragged Craftsman Yu into the shield formation: "Withdraw!"
"Yes." The soldiers retreated hurriedly until they were out of the range of the slings, and then stopped.
Jiang Wankang said: "Set off the smoke and notify all the guards on the first line of defense to meet the bandits!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw billowing smoke rising. It was Zhang Zhong and Hu Baihu who had set off the smoke.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanzang gave Qin Sanlang a rare compliment: "Yes, you are indeed a good leader."
After saying this, he immediately asked Qin Sanlang and Xie Cheng to gather their troops, and he commanded them to attack the Rong people.
"Yes." Qin Sanlang and Xie Cheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked Zhang Tu to wave the flag and gather troops.
The Kerong people were like crazy today, and they continued to attack from afar until dark.
"It seems there is a tunnel!" Jiang Wanzang was very excited. Without the tunnel, the soldiers would not have been able to attack suddenly and for such a long time.
On Tuogude's side, Hu Ang reminded him: "Master, today's raid took too long. It should be stopped to avoid suspicion on the part of the people over there."
He added: "My subordinates are all watching on the cliff. They just drove wooden stakes into the poisonous insect ditch. They probably didn't find the tunnel... But if we keep attacking, it will definitely arouse suspicion over there."
Today is not the day when the conferment team arrives in the capital, nor is it the day of the Winter Solstice Festival. They suddenly attacked without any reason. The Chu army is not stupid. They will definitely suspect that they are trying to hide something.
Tuogude clenched his fist and said angrily: "Then what good plan do you have? Are you going to let them find out that the witch army finally dug the tunnel?!"
He had dead soldiers in the Rong Kingdom, and the dead soldiers sent news that many changes had taken place in the Rong Kingdom after Tian Khan returned to Dahong.
Tian Khan took the opportunity to recruit many tribal warriors... The tribes relied on the warriors to become stronger. If the warriors were loyal to Tiehe, those tribes would become weaker.
How could Tiehe not annex the tribes that had become weak?
