"I think you are so stupid!" Xiao Chen said, "This mechanism must have been stepped on twice before it can be activated, while the one at the back was activated after being stepped on once, so the people over there fell first. These few Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran back, only to fall into the pit again."
"Yeah? It turns out that Lord Xiao is also very knowledgeable about traps. Could it be that your ancestor was also a tomb robber?" Gongsun Shen said.
"Even if it is, it's nothing. Although it's not a shameful thing, it's not shameful." Li Qiu said with a smile.
"My lord, please don't make fun of me. My ancestors are not grave robbers." Xiao Chenxin said that although my ancestor was not a grave robber, he really wanted to dig a grave for a while, but the grave he dug was not someone else's, but your father Li Wanjiang's. !
Because my father buried all the treasures he left me under your father's grave... So it was a helpless move, and I hope you won't be offended.
The few people continued to walk forward, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, they reached the end. Sun Changshan silently counted the steps. It seemed that they had walked about four or five miles.
This is also the straight-line distance from the entrance to Baisha City. The tunnel is also straight without any deviation, so the stairs at the end must be inside Baisha City.
"We can't go any further up there." Gongsun Shenwen said, "Otherwise people above will hear the noise and be alert."
"Where does this passage come from?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Langya Prince's Mansion is the bedroom of the Prince's Mansion where Duan Fengnian currently lives." Gongsun Shenjian said, "When the time comes, you will definitely give him a big surprise when you go up there."
Several people returned the same way and mobilized a large number of soldiers and horses to block the entrance. They also mobilized a hundred brothers from the civil engineering camp to repair and dredge the tunnel overnight.
In fact, there is no need to repair and clear the traps. All that is required is to fill in the two traps. As for the bodies of Gao Changgong and the others, they should all be taken out for burial.
Gongsun Chenxi didn't say anything. After all, he had been dead for decades and the grudges had been settled long ago.
My mission has been completed. How you fight this battle has nothing to do with me. I only want money. Can I give you money now?
Xiao Chen said 1.2 million taels. How could there be so much money in the army?
But of course I won't default on my debt. After the war is over, you, old man, can just follow me back to Fengyang to get the money.
This makes sense. Gongsun was seriously ill and didn't say anything. He was full of wine and food, and tired after walking for another day. Xiao Chen ordered people to prepare a warm tent for him to rest, and also sent a few people to protect him.
All the senior generals in the army were called to a meeting overnight to announce all the tunnels discovered. Everyone was surprised and delighted when they heard about it.
How about saying that Mr. Xiao Hou is the God of War? You are such a god in predicting things.
If you haven't attacked for so many days, you are just waiting for God to send someone to advise you on how to attack the city!
What else is there to say?
We will start a large-scale attack on the city tomorrow, and then send thousands of people through the tunnels to give them a flower inside and outside!
"It's best not to attack by force." Xiao Chen said, "Since we already have a sure chance of victory, we must find ways to reduce casualties as much as possible. Even if it's a feint attack from outside or a strong attack from inside, many brothers will be killed and injured. So I'm calling everyone here today. I want to see how to use this tunnel and come up with the most secure plan."
What Xiao Chen meant by being prudent was to reduce casualties. The fewer people killed, the better.
It is certainly possible to bloom inside and outside, and there is a high chance that Baisha City can be captured, but it will also kill many brothers. For Xiao Chen, who loves soldiers as much as his sons, it is not a good idea.
"Otherwise, we can directly send a group of elite soldiers to pass through the tunnel at night, kill Duan Fengnian, occupy his palace, and raise his head to show the public. The enemy army will definitely be demoralized and all will surrender." Lin Feixiong said.
"That's not necessarily the case." Duan Qiyun said, "Firstly, Duan Fengnian has several die-hard generals under his command. They would rather die than surrender. If Duan Fengnian is killed, they will definitely risk their lives for us. Secondly, Duan Fengnian There are still five sons in the city, and with them around, the Langya army will not surrender easily."
"Well, they probably also know that if the city is defeated, they will die, so they would rather die than surrender. They will also fight us to the death. If they mobilize a large army to attack the palace we occupy, it will be even more difficult for us to attack the city again." Lin Yue said.
This is also possible, because the palace is not a military camp after all, and it cannot accommodate too many troops, at most two thousand people.
Although the walls of the palace are strong, there are cannons in the city. As long as you turn the muzzle of the cannon and hit the palace with a covering blow, it can be razed to the ground in less than a cup of tea!
Even two thousand people would not be spared, and the tunnel would even be blown up. In that case, the result would be in vain.
So you have to use a plan, and recklessness will not work. After everyone discussed it for a long time, they still couldn't come up with a perfect plan.
In the end, they stopped talking and looked at Xiao Chen together, waiting for him to make an idea.
Xiao Chen also had an idea. He kept silent because he wanted to hear if he had any better ideas?
If not, then he can only use this method.
"Lin Qi, do you dare to meet Duan Fengnian again?" The first person Xiao Chen asked was Lin Qi. "As for the Marquis, students dare to go!" Lin Qi didn't expect that he would have anything to do with him here, so he quickly stood up to answer.
"Xiao Chen, what do you mean by asking Lin Qi to see Duan Fengnian?" Li Qiuqi asked, "Are you still thinking of trying to persuade him to surrender?"
"Yes, we are going to persuade him to surrender." Xiao Chen said, "Now he is in a desperate situation, and the demon monk Nemo was also killed by us. If he still refuses to wake up at this time, it would be too ignorant. Current affairs.”
Everyone said that Duan Fengnian was ignorant of current affairs, otherwise he would not have rebelled.
Now that his rebellion has failed and our army has been at the city for so many days, if he wanted to surrender, he should have sent someone to negotiate long ago.
But there was no movement, so he should have put life and death aside now, and just wanted to resist stubbornly, fight even if the trapped beast is trapped, and the fish will die and the net will be broken.
To say the least, even if we wanted to persuade him to surrender, it would not be appropriate to send Lin Qi there. He was just a small official with no meritorious title. He was only a small staff officer in the army and was not qualified to negotiate with Duan Fengnian.
Among the few present, only the young prince and Mr. Xiao can go in person, or Lin Yue can barely do it, but no one else can.
If Eunuch Gong Shouli is here, he can go, but Eunuch Gong is still recovering from his injuries at Wolong Pass...
So although Mr. Xiao Hou said this to Lin Qi, he actually wanted our young prince to go there in person, right?
It is said that our emperor and Prince Zhongcheng personally went to Mr. Murong Heng's camp to negotiate.
Also when he was in Yizhou, Li Shi, the king of Jiangdong, went to Yuding Mountain alone and successfully persuaded the remnants of Sima Zhongping to surrender. This was also a good story for a while.
It seems that now it is his turn, King Xuanping, to risk his life. I wonder if he dares?
