Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 27 Countering Acupoint Attack!

What cruel methods such as interception, fumigation of poisonous smoke, irrigation, and pouring of golden juice.

But Hu Yiba and the others were terrified.

No matter which method it is, as long as it is encountered, it will die.

Zhu Qiwu told them that if they want to avoid these situations, they must dig the tunnel as quickly as possible!
As long as the Haozhou defenders have no time to react, the tomb robbers like Hu Yiba can avoid being killed.

So now facing what Zhu Qiwu said to take a break, Hu Yiba and the others were a hundred reluctant.

"Haha, well, since this is the case, I can't treat you badly!"

Zhu Qiwu was very satisfied with the "positive attitude" of Hu Yiba and others.

He said to Zhou Dexing next to him: "Brother Zhou, let the gang leader give Hu Yiba and the others extra meals, including chicken, duck and fish!"

"Okay!" Zhou Dexing quickly went to work.

When the delicious chicken, duck and fish arrived, Hu Yiba and the others still did not stop working.

They took turns to go into battle, eat and drink during the break, and then went in to dig again after they finished their work. When they couldn't do any more, a few people climbed out and fell asleep wrapped in bedding at the entrance of the cave.

Early the next morning.

Wang Tianba, deputy general of Haozhou, began to observe the movement of the Red Scarf Army digging tunnels outside the city.

"Well, these thieves, I'm afraid they rushed to work last night, otherwise the surrounding soil couldn't be so fresh!"

Wang Tianba's eyesight is very good, and he can see the difference immediately.

Even so, it is still far from the root of the city wall.

After all, the red scarf thief hadn't started preparing any logs and masonry, and there were at least two or three days' work away from the city wall.

"Come here, find a big water tank and bury it under this section of the city wall!"

Wang Tianba pointed to the city wall under his feet, and then continued to give instructions.

"Go to the city and recruit fifty strong men, and let them bring their pickaxes and come here to stand by at any time!" Lieutenant General Wang Tianba ordered.

He thought about it for a while, and decided to be on the safe side, first prepare the water tank for listening and the people who dig deep trenches.

Just as Wang Tianba, deputy general of Haozhou, was preparing to counterattack the acupoint attack, Zhu Qiwu outside the city also got good news.

"Master Jun, we have almost finished digging!" Hu Yiba said happily.

"What, so fast? Are you sure?" Zhu Qiwu couldn't believe it.

According to his original estimate, it would take two days to dig a tunnel to transport the coffin.

"Master Jun, don't worry, I, Hu Yiba, dare to take my head as a guarantee!" Hu Yiba was very sure.

"Your location is right, don't you fail to dig under the city wall!" Zhu Qiwu still asked a little worried.

"Master Jun, at most half an hour, you can dig right under the city wall!"

Hu Yiba and other tomb robbers are proficient in surveying mountains and fixing acupoints.

Even the subterranean tombs without reference objects can be almost inseparable, let alone the huge city walls on the ground.

"Okay, let's start transporting the coffin!" Zhu Qiwu nodded and said.

Hu Yiba and the others are indeed professional tomb robbers, they even have special tools that can transport coffins in narrow tunnels.

After more than an hour, the tunnel requested by Zhu Qiwu was dug, and the prepared coffin was transported in.

The last critical step left is to fill the coffin with gunpowder and arrange the leads.

Whether or not the city wall of Haozhou can be breached depends on the crucial last step.

Zhu Qiwu was worried about others filling the gunpowder, so he decided to go himself.

"No! It's too dangerous!"

When the old brother Zhu Chongba heard this, he immediately stopped Zhu Qiwu.

This tunnel is very dangerous.

Even if there is no destruction by the Haozhou defenders, once there is a landslide, it will be a dead end.

How could Zhu Chongba let Zhu Qiwu go into the tunnel?

"Brother, this last step is a matter of success or failure. If I don't go, if someone else messes up, it will be in vain!" Zhu Qiwu said cruelly.

All the gunpowder he has is only enough for two coffins, and he doesn't trust others at all.

Zhu Chongba understood the truth, but he didn't let go at all.

"We said no, we just can't! Even if it doesn't work, think of another way!" Zhu Chongba gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing this, Zhu Qiwu felt warm in his heart.

He understood very well that Zhu Chongba was afraid that he would make a mistake, and he would rather take the risk of failure than let Zhu Qiwu take the risk.

However, after all, it is related to the success or failure of the Battle of Haozhou.

Zhu Qiwu repeatedly stated that he would be very careful!

And let Hu Yiba swear an oath to ensure that the tunnel is absolutely safe.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Chongba finally nodded worriedly in agreement.

Zhu Qiwu didn't dare to waste time, and immediately followed Hu Yiba into the tunnel.

The narrow tunnel is only enough for people to walk forward, and they will bump into it if they raise their heads a little.

Enduring the darkness and sweltering heat, Zhu Qiwu walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally came to the place where the coffin was parked.

The gunpowder has already been delivered.

"Pour it all in!"

Packs of gunpowder finally filled the entire coffin.

Zhu Qiwu smeared and checked, and then placed two long fuses.

Following the drawing of the two fuses, Zhu Qiwu directed Hu Yiba and others to seal the coffin with prepared bricks and soil.

Today's coffin was tightly sealed under the city wall of Haozhou.

When Zhu Qiwu just emerged from the tunnel, a pair of big hands dragged him out.

"Qiwu, why did you come out!"

Old brother Zhu Chongba's eyes were red, obviously he was in a hurry.

Zhu Qiwu chuckled, "Brother, it's done, just wait to enter Haozhou!"

At this time, Hu Yiba and the others came out of the tunnel one after another.

Zhu Qiwu checked again, the coffin filled with gunpowder was sealed firmly.

"Qiwu, what should we do next?"

Zhu Chongba asked anxiously from the side.

To be honest, it was the first time for Zhu Qiwu to do such a thing as blasting the city wall, and he didn't know what to do next besides igniting the fuze.

Zhu Qiwu thought about it seriously, and then said.

"Brother, tell the whole army to step back fifty steps!"

Since it is blasting the city wall, it must be very powerful, and all kinds of chaotic rocks are absolutely indispensable, so it is better to stay far away.

"it is good!"

When Zhu Chongba heard this, he immediately shouted.

"Listen to my order, the whole army retreats fifty steps!"

With the sound of a gong, thousands of red scarf soldiers retreated fifty steps in unison.

Zhu Qiwu also took this opportunity to ignite two fuzes.

This fuze is made of twined rope and gunpowder, and is wrapped in oilcloth to prevent moisture, which can be described as double insurance.

Zhu Qiwu ignited the fuze, followed by quickly retreating.

This series of actions, in the eyes of the defenders in Haozhou City, is quite strange.

First, a group of people surrounded the entrance of the tunnel, and then they waited and waited.

In the end, the thief army turned back more than 50 steps.
