"And this design?" Shang Guo couldn't believe it.
Speaking of water, Bailiguang found a battalion commander in charge of the Forgotten Cave and asked, "Has the river been drained?"
The battalion commander replied: "It has been drained."
"How many days will it take for the cave to be dug?" Bailiguang asked.
"It seems that we have reached the Forgotten Cave, but we haven't found it yet."
As soon as the battalion commander finished speaking, a soldier hurried over and said, "Lord, gentlemen, we have dug something."
Bailiguang looked shocked and said hurriedly: "Oh, what did you dig up?"
The soldier replied: "It's as hard as stone. It's too big for us to dig out."
"Let's take a look."
Bailiguang led the crowd and followed the soldier down the trench level by level. When he reached the bottom level, he saw something standing vertically and buried in the deep soil like a huge stone wall.
"Dig again." Bailiguang ordered people to dig out in all directions.
Hundreds of soldiers immediately dug out along the wall.
After a few hours, a massive wall was cleared inside the trench.
Bailiguang looked at the airtight and extremely hard giant wall and was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. After scanning every wall with his eyes, he said, "Keep digging along the wall."
"Lord, wait." Shang Guo looked at the wall and said, "This wall is so huge that it may have surrounded the Cave of Oblivion at the foot of the mountain. It may not be easy to dig it out. We can attack the wall while digging, and maybe we can break through it. .”
"Can such a hard wall be broken through?" Baili Guang asked doubtfully.
Shang Guo said: "We have been digging for so long. It is better to organize some manpower and attack the wall than to dig alone."
This was a dead end, since there were plenty of people anyway. Bailiguang immediately mobilized a team and began to attack the wall.
Hundreds of people violently attacked the wall, and countless swords struck the wall. Only a metallic impact was heard, leaving traces of dust wiped off by the blades. There was no movement at all.
Bailiguang pushed away several people in front of him, ordered his people to bring his big sword, and raised his fighting power. The tip of the knife quickly gathered airflow, forming a strong light. Bailiguang shouted loudly, and then swung out the big knife. , hit the wall.
There was a loud "bang", a deep hole appeared in the wall, and a pile of soil fell around it.
Bailiguang stopped and touched the opening with his hand. It felt like a layer of skin had been rubbed off, and he didn't feel the wall at all.
"Whether you use weapons or rams, break the wall for me." After Bailiguang said that, he stepped back from the front and left with Shang Guo.
In the cave, after Tong Xiao paid homage to his deceased master, he found tiny dust falling from the top, and a faint impact could be heard. If he hadn't been practicing since childhood, he wouldn't have heard this faint sound at all.
"After cutting down the woods and digging trenches, I can't go out to play. It's really annoying."
Tong Xiao walked out of the room and remembered what his master told him before he died.
"It seems that as the master said, we can no longer defend this place and I have to leave."
Tong Xiao stopped and looked around at the walls, and finally his eyes fell on a bookshelf.
These books looked very old, and some of them were duplicates, piled neatly on the bookshelves.
Tong Xiao picked up a dusty book and blew away some of the dust with his mouth.
"What an old antique, no one has read it for hundreds of years." Tong Xiao opened it casually.
It was full of words from ancient civilizations. The fonts were neat and uniform. The paper was soft and soft, and it was comfortable to hold. But the words were incomprehensible, so Tong Xiao could only throw it aside.
"The ancient civilization was so powerful and its technology was so advanced. It's a pity that it was destroyed and only a cave like this was left. However, this cave will not be preserved in the future."
Tong Xiao said as he walked, passed a few more rooms, and came to a room full of weapons.
"Everyone outside is here for these weapons." Tong Xiao tapped an oblong object made of special steel: "It has been thousands of years and has become scrap metal long ago."
"Bang, bang, bang..." A dull voice came from outside, and Tong Xiao smiled softly: "It's just you, you won't even think of poaching me for a year or two."
Outside the cave, hundreds of people took turns hitting the wall. Every time they hit, there was no other sound except the sound of a hit.
Bailiguang watched for a long time, but saw no improvement, so he ordered his people to continue digging and striking, and must break through the Cave of Forgetfulness. He, Shang Guo and others returned to the Lord's Mansion.
After digging out the cave wall, Bailiguang's thoughts were focused on the Cave of Oblivion. He went to the Cave of Oblivion every day to see the progress, but he found nothing as before.
At this time, news was received from Xu Gong that the army was blocked by the troops defending the city at the border of Wota City. It had been defeated by Xu Gong and was heading towards Wota City.
This is also good news. Bailiguang has slightly filled up the loss in his heart for several days.
"This Xu Gong has really high combat power. He fought his way through the rebel army and directly killed the lord of Wota City."
Upon hearing the news, Shang Guo smiled and said: "Lord, Duan Yi is still attacking Pusa City. From this point of view, Wota City must be ours."
As long as Wota City was captured before Duan Yi captured Pusa City, the Song and Qing Dynasties had no reason to send troops to capture Wota City.
Bailiguang smiled with satisfaction and said: "It is also a happy thing to capture Wota City. When Xu Gong comes back, he will be promoted to army commander."
Currently, there are only two kingdoms that have become kings with the official position of military commander. For other forces, the highest position in the army is only flag commander.
Shang Guo knew that Baili Guang was always wary of Xu Gong because he saw peace with Xu Gong, and said: "Lord, only those who are kings can hold the position of army commander. I'm afraid we are not suitable."
When it came to becoming king, Bailiguang also had a plan in mind and said, "Then I can become king."
Shang Guo said: "If he becomes king, Xu Gong will definitely be promoted to army commander. But in this way, Xu Gong's official position will be much higher, which may be difficult to control."
This said that in Bailiguang's heart, the official position could be given to Xu Gong, but the army must not be controlled by Xu Gong. The balance has just been reached now. If I get promoted and break this change, I will be finished if I can't control it.
Bailiguang thought about it and said, "We will discuss this matter after Xu Gong takes over Wota City."
Outside Wota City, Xu Gong's army blocked the east gate.
The troops guarding the city were at a loss as to what to do, and several commanders were talking nonsense.
"The battalion commander was hacked to death by Xu Gong with an axe."
"Yes, Xu Gong is known as the God of Slaughter, and his combat power is too high. We are no match at all."
"There is no Xu Gong's army at the North City Gate. Let's go out of the North City Gate and flee to the lord."
"You are stupid. Abandoning the city and running away is a capital crime."
"Ah, what should we do?"
"First defend the city and wait for the lord's orders."
Several people talked nonsense, and finally decided to deploy all the remaining troops at the gate of the city, waiting for Huo Ziyou's reinforcements.
