While Zhou Yu was trying every means to buy time, Kou Jun, Gan Ning, Li Jue, Guo Bang, Fan Chou and others were leading tens of thousands of people to conduct dragnet searches in the two areas that Zhou Yu had previously designated for Kou Jun. , in the hope of finding the Achilles' heel that Zhou Yu mentioned.
"You can't find it at all!" Kou Jun and Yin Sha Rui Shi have been searching for more than an hour, but they couldn't find the Guishang's Achilles' heel that Zhou Yu mentioned, so Kou Jun seemed extremely irritable. After all, In the current situation, if every minute of delay was delayed, many Han troops would die in Qunu City, so that Kou Jun would inevitably become more and more irritated.
"We haven't found anything here either." Gan Ning came over with a group of high-speed and flexible Xiliang cavalry. Seeing Kou Jun's expression, he knew that Kou Jun had achieved nothing.
"Could it be somewhere else?" Kou Jun looked at Gan Ning with a livid face, "It took us half an hour just to get here, and it took more than an hour to search for these two places. If I can’t find it, I’m afraid the time has passed.”
"No, the governor is smarter than us. He thinks it is in two places, so it must be in these two places." Gan Ning thought for a while and said, he believed in Zhou Yu's judgment more than they made their own judgment, "Continue Search, must find.”
"What if?" Kou Jun said a little irritably.
"There is no chance. The Shangxiang Marquis should know the current situation better than us. We have no way out since the siege started, and Guishang's reinforcements should also be gathering here now." Gan Ning looked at Kou Jun with a serious look on his face. Said, "We have no other choice. The infantry under the command of the governor are not qualified at all. They can hold up, but they may not be able to defeat Khosroi."
"But is it really useful for us to continue searching?" Kou Jun said extremely irritably, "We have searched using almost all means, but we have not found it."
"Even if it is a tunnel, at least it needs an exit." Hu Hao once again used sound waves to search dozens of miles around, and finally determined that there was no hole, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Withdraw now. Together, we can at least ensure that the governor and his companions withdraw. If we don't go back, we may be too late. My scouts reported earlier that reinforcements from the periphery of Guishang came with siege equipment." Kou Jun looked very expressionless. It's ugly, what does this mean? In this case, how long Zhou Yu's previous arrangement can last is a question!
"No, we have to look for it. If we can't find it, even if we go, we won't be able to solve the problem. Marquis Shangxiang, you have ignored a fact!" Gan Ning's voice rose a step higher, "What do you think of the reinforcements on the Guishang front line?" Arrival time?"
Kou Jun was stunned when he heard this, and then his face became even more ugly. The heaviness of the impending disaster made Kou Jun realize everything in an instant.
"Liu Hao is not that easy to kill. The governor has actually realized this problem, but he has to solve it, so we have to find the tunnel." Gan Ning looked at Kou Jun and said, "It only takes one day to go down the river. , it is still a big ship that goes upstream, and it takes almost three days to lift with super-model cloud energy, while General Guan can attack by force in one and a half to two and a half days at most."
Kou Jun suppressed the irritability in his brain and began to sort out various possibilities.
"Based on two days, the Kushan reinforcements should have set off yesterday." Kou Jun watched Gan Ning return to his normal posture. He was just irritated because he had found nothing, rather than lacking sufficient judgment. After Gan Ning spoke, He already understood.
"I'm afraid Guishuang will send all the cavalry here. To be honest, if Vesutiva I really wants to protect Liu Hao, then I won't be surprised if the rangers appear in Qunu City in the next hour or two." Gan Ning looked at Kou Jun calmly.
Erha is really Erha, but Gan Ning's education gave him enough perspective on the overall situation, so Gan Ning understood the current situation.
According to the operation that Gachali led the rangers and lancers all the way to Brahmas, with one person and two horses working day and night, it would not be a big problem to arrive at Qunu City this afternoon.
Of course, Gachari was so desperate for some reasons back then. As for Vesudev I, I'm afraid there really was no such desperate reason.
But even if there is no such desperate reason, since Oswin is brought to the rescue, he will definitely not delay. At most, it is to ensure the combat effectiveness, not to rush for life, and to reach Qunu City as fast as possible.
But even so, they should definitely arrive tomorrow. Even if Oswin shows some attitude, the Rangers will definitely arrive at Qunu City tonight.
If the Han army fails to capture Qunv City by then and relies on Kou Jun, Gan Ning, and Li Jue to successfully escape from a dead end, then tomorrow morning at the latest, facing Guishang, whose frontline reinforcements have arrived, even if Zhou Yu has The power of reaching heaven is also a death.
Although Zhou Yu misjudged the garbage level of the Jiangdong navy in land warfare under normal circumstances due to years of water warfare, and underestimated the ultimate combat effectiveness of the group of generals under Khosroi under serious command, Zhou Yu faced In this situation, I still chose I want it all.
I want to kill Liu Hao, I want to capture Qunu City, and when the reinforcements of Vesutiva I arrive, I will hammer his head hard and carry him back with him in a pretty way.
Kou Jun only recognized the factors of Qu Nu Cheng and did not consider the following. Gan Ning and Zhou Yu have worked together for many years and he knows Zhou Yu's character very well. The more critical the situation, the more outrageous this guy becomes!
"So, we must find him. Only by killing Liu Hao can we solve all the problems." Gan Ning looked at Kou Jun and said seriously.
"The problem is, even if we find it, can we kill Liu Hao?" Kou Jun looked at Gan Ning and said, "I don't doubt our strength, I only doubt Liu Hao's condition. Since Liu Hao can come back from the dead, then there must be others Other options made it look like she was only seriously injured but not dead."
Gan Ning was silent for a while and took out two things from his pocket, one was a silk book and the other was a small blade with the faint sound of a blue dragon roaring. He knew that there were some things that he had to explain to Kou Jun.
Kou Jun glanced at the small blade and knew that it was the sword spirit sealed by Guan Yu. With this sword, no monsters or ghosts could be resurrected, so he reached out and took another seven-color silk book.
He opened it and took a look, then looked at the seal on it and was silent for a long time.
"Real product?" Kou Jun looked at Gan Ning and asked.
"At least the seal is genuine. As long as Liu Hao is solved, the three guilds in Chang'an will quickly fill in all the files." Gan Ning restrained his smile and was extremely solemn. Chen Xi gave Gan Ning this thing, because Chen Xi knew it Gan Ning couldn't stay idle at all, so giving this thing to Gan Ning might have miraculous effects, so as long as Liu Hao could be eliminated, even Brahma's fate would be useless.
"So this must be done?" Kou Jun took a deep breath and looked at Gan Ning.
"There is no choice but to do this." Gan Ning rolled up the silk book and put it in the inner pocket of his chest. "This is the last chance, and I trust the governor."
Kou Jun took a long breath, as if he was letting out the depression in his chest, and then his eyes sharply swept over his subordinates Cheng Yijun and Yin Sha Rui Shi, "That's good!"
On the other side, the three idiots are also searching, but so far they have not found any traces of the tunnel. To be honest, if Kou Jun hadn't clearly said that this was Zhou Yu's order, these three brothers would have given up searching long ago. After all, they ate Zhou Yu There are so many boundary-breaking jellyfish skins, we have to work!
"No, no, we have separated thousands of fantasy warriors, and we have not found any traces even though we are searching with a net. Is there really a tunnel?" Fan Chou sat on the rocks a little tired, but he didn't have any physical strength. problem, but there has been no progress at all for such a long time, which is really terrible.
"According to the Governor's analysis, there should be no problem. After all, no matter how well the Qunu City is protected, Guishang cannot not prepare for the worst." Wan Zhen sat aside and answered.
Yes, Zhou Yu had speculated on a certain possibility early on - there must be a secret passage in the palace city of Qunu City. Otherwise, if the Han army attacked the palace city of Qunu City, Liu Hao would not be able to escape even if he was protected by the imperial guards. There is no way to escape, and the performance of General Guishang in the inner city still shows that Liu Hao will definitely be able to leave the palace city of Qunv City.
What's more important is that you can leave with a large army. In addition, when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu fought against Lu Kang, the Lu family used tunnels to escape, and there were also some hidden treasures that Zhou Yu discovered when they were in Chang'an. Soldier caves, tunnels, etc., so Zhou Yu was basically certain that there must be a tunnel in the palace city that could allow the imperial guards to protect Liu Hao and leave quickly.
After making this conjecture, Zhou Yu combined the knowledge taught by Professor Chen Xi and quickly roughly located the location of the other end of the tunnel on the map.
This is also the reason why Zhou Yu chose to delay, because the palace city is not big. Once Kou Jun and others rely on this tunnel to enter the palace city, Zhou Yu will definitely win.
Therefore, Zhou Yu must risk his losses and ask Kou Jun and others to find this secret passage. This is the key to quick victory. As long as he finds it, Zhou Yu will really be able to achieve "I want it all"!
"But we really searched it inch by inch, but the biggest thing this place has is a rabbit hole, only two fists big. Can a person get out of the soil?" Li Jue said angrily, he was looking for Quite irritable too.
Of course, the irritability caused by not being able to find the target is only one aspect. What is really irritating is the feeling that danger is constantly approaching. As time goes by, San Sha's intuition is frantically reminding them that danger is getting closer and closer to them.
"No, people can drill out of the soil." Guo Bang seemed to have remembered something, "Yes, people can drill out of the soil. I remembered that it is not necessary to open the tunnel, especially if it is top secret. The tunnel has no exit."
"What are you talking about?" Li Jue and Fan Chou looked at Guo Si and asked in confusion.
"The exit of the tunnel was opened from the tunnel at the last moment." Guo Bang said with sharp eyes, "When I was a horse bandit, I caught a few country rats, but they were all just for food. I didn't kill them. A guy died in my village, and when he was chatting with me before he died, he said that there was a kind of tunnel that had no openings."
A tunnel with only ventilation holes and no exit is like a tunnel that was only half dug and abandoned. In fact, this kind of tunnel is an escape passage specially prepared by some wealthy families. After entering the tunnel, you can directly go to a certain set location. Open the breach upwards, causing the area in the tunnel to collapse, and then people can exit directly from this location.
After going out, there are special blocking earth and rocks prepared that can quickly seal the breach. The pursuers chase the collapse. Because they have encountered several collapses before, they will subconsciously think that this is the mechanism of the secret passage. After clearing the collapse, continue Chase forward until you reach the end of the tunnel.
This is a so-called top-secret tunnel, which can greatly consume the time of pursuing soldiers.
However, this kind of thing is very troublesome to build, especially since the second half is basically constructed underground. The determination of the above-ground part requires very professional hands to use specific equipment to ensure that there is no deviation.
Therefore, except for the real wealthy families, basically no one built this kind of thing in ancient times. However, there is a saying that this kind of tunnel can really save lives. Unless there is a thief, otherwise it will be too late to hunt down the person who has been deceived.
Is Liu Hao worth what Guishang does? worth!
Even if Vesudev I had other ideas, at least she would definitely agree with it openly.
"There are no above-ground entrances and exits in the tunnel?" Wan Zhen was silent for a while, and then he understood. After all, their family had built something like this. Later, they found out that their family's situation was worse than being chased and hacked to death by others. It was better to think about what to do. Talent has no heir.
"Then how to find it?" Li Jue didn't doubt Guo Bang's judgment, because his intuition had already told him that this was the answer, but if you knew the answer, could you find it?
Since the second half of the tunnel is all built underground, it would be too much. Building it to three, four, seven or eight meters underground is not a problem at all. As for the difficulty of coming out from such a deep underground, I'm afraid it's hard for Guishang to use it to protect Liu. The Royal Guards of Hao.
"Just because we can't find it doesn't mean that the elite under Lao Kou can't find it." Wan Zhen said with a smile. There is no blind spot in Wan Zhen's mind. This guy is the god of the patchwork world.
The top sound-killing warriors under Kou Jun's command were gathered together, and they continuously released sonic concussions on the ground, and then began to conduct detailed exploration.
With just one wave, Hu Hao found the tunnel directly, because Hu Hao had sensed something during the previous investigation, but at that time he was mainly looking for holes in the ground, and did not even consider what these different sound waves were. Son.
Now that Wan Zhen and others had given the answer, Hu Hao almost quickly rushed to the different location that he had detected before. After repeated confirmations, he finally determined that the five-meter-thick ground should be empty. The sound wave concussion gave The reaction was completely different.
"Is this here?" Zhang Ping was captured. When he was used, Li Jue and others didn't know if it was the correct opening of the tunnel, but they could just dig a hole in!
