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

Chapter 26 Wise General Wang Tianba!
After all these years, Zhu Qiwu has never let himself down.

After Zhu Chongba sent some people to dig the tunnel, the defenders on the city wall of Haozhou finally discovered their actions.

On the city wall of Haozhou, a soldier first discovered this situation.

"My lord, look over there, the red scarf is digging a tunnel!"

He immediately reported to Wang Tianba, deputy general of Haozhou.

"Dig a tunnel?"

When Vice General Wang Tianba heard this, he immediately stomped on the arrow and looked down the city.

Sure enough, not far from the city wall, a group of red scarf thieves formed a circle!

Many red scarf thieves dug out baskets of soil from the ground.

Lieutenant Wang Tianba is not a rookie, he has been stationed in various places for many years.

There are quite a few thieves encountered, and it is common for digging tunnels to attack the city.

When he saw the red scarf digging the tunnel, not only did he not panic at all, but he felt more at ease.

"Haha, these red scarf thieves are really stupid like pigs! It's ridiculous to even want to attack with acupuncture points?" Wang Tianba looked proud.

How could the few soldiers next to him be as well-informed as Wang Tianba, and they all asked puzzled questions.

Wang Tianba was suddenly proud, and began to point out his own soldiers.

"Accurately speaking, acupoint attack can attack a city, but it's not as stupid as a thief!"

"Any hole attack is nothing more than digging down the city wall, or digging a tunnel to sneak into the city."

"No matter what kind of acupoint attack it is, it must be kept secret. Otherwise, once the direction of the tunnel is exposed, the defenders can sit on the sidelines and prepare for some interception, such as digging a deep trench outside the city to prevent them from approaching the city wall. , or divert water to irrigate the tunnel in advance.”

"So in order to keep it secret, a dozen or even dozens of tunnel entrances are often dug outside the city, all of which are used to confuse the defenders, so that the defenders don't know which one is the real tunnel."

"It's not like these red scarf idiots outside the city dig a tunnel entrance so clearly, hahahahaha!"

After Wang Tianba finished speaking, he burst into laughter again.

The soldiers next to him finally understood the truth.

They gave thumbs up one after another, praising their general for being well-informed and worthy of being the pillar of Haozhou City!
In addition, they laughed at the red scarf thieves outside the city.

"Such a group of stupid thieves dare to attack Haozhou City, they are simply sending themselves to death!"

"It means that Luo Zhizhou is too timid, otherwise if the general leads us to rush out, it will definitely be a military achievement!"

"Yeah, these thieves are so stupid, I'm afraid that if they run away, the military achievements they get will be gone."

Under the compliments of several personal soldiers, Wang Tianba, deputy general of Haozhou, suddenly felt as if he had been reborn in vain, and Han Xin possessed him!
If it hadn't been for Luo Zhizhou's promise, Luo Zhizhou would not be able to defend himself.

Maybe Wang Tianba is going to rush out to capture Zhu Chongba, the leader of the bandit, alive at this time.

Among the group of people, a soldier suddenly reminded:

"My lord, this tunnel of thieves is aimed at here. Shall we dig a deep trench outside the city to block them from approaching the city wall?"

The little soldier's proposal sounds very reasonable.

but.

When Wang Tianba heard this, he laughed and patted the soldier on the head casually.

"Your mother, I think you are also stupid, just like those stupid thieves!"

The soldier who was beaten had an aggrieved face, and was deeply puzzled.

"My lord, this is what you said, you can dig a deep trench to intercept the tunnel."

Wang Tianba showed the pride of his crushing IQ again, and said: "If you want to dig the tunnel under the city wall, no matter how small the tunnel is, it will take three to five days!"

"If you want to dig down the city wall, you must transport the supporting logs and bricks into the tunnel. The tunnel must be dug very wide, and it will take at least nearly a month."

"Even if we get to the bottom of the city wall, we still need to dig a large cavity and use logs and bricks to support it. It will take another ten days."

"So if you want to dig down the city wall of Haozhou, don't even try to get close within ten days!"

"Let's let these idiots dig for more than ten days, and then cut it off when they get close to it. Let them work for nothing, hahaha!"

After Wang Tianba finished speaking, he laughed triumphantly again.

The surrounding soldiers repeated the flattering process just now, boasting that the lieutenant general is wise and powerful, while laughing at the stupid thieves outside the city.

By the way, he also laughed at the personal soldier who raised his opinion just now.

Anyway, Lieutenant General Wang Tianba didn't care about any acupoint attack.

When Luo Wenqing, the magistrate of Haozhou, came to the city wall and saw the Red Scarf Army digging the tunnel, he also showed the same smug smile.

"Stupid thief with a red scarf, but nothing!" Luo Wenqing said with a contemptuous smile as he stroked his beard.

Although Luo Zhizhou is a civil servant, he has helped the Mongolian and Yuan courts suppress the rioters for so many years, and his military knowledge is no less than that of Vice General Wang Tianba.

"My lord, the thief is so stupid, Haozhou City is already as stable as Mount Tai." Wang Tianba laughed beside him.

"Well, having said that, you have to keep an eye on it all the time, and don't let thieves take advantage of it!" Luo Wenqing said.

"My lord, please don't worry, the general's eating, drinking and drinking are all planned to be on the city wall. If the reinforcements from the imperial court do not come, the general will not go down the city wall!" Wang Tianba assured, patting his chest.

"Okay, okay! Deputy General Wang is dedicated to the country. After this battle, I will give you the first credit!" Luo Wenqing nodded approvingly.

Wang Tianba is very beautiful!

If he could make a head start, he would most likely be able to turn the deputy general into a general of the army.

The matter of defending the city is very complicated.

Luo Zhizhou inspected it, then returned to the government office, and handed over the city defense to Deputy General Wang Tianba.

Wang Tianba led the defenders, lying on the top of the city as if watching a play, watching the red scarf thieves digging tunnels in the distance.

The experienced Lieutenant General Wang Tianba can basically judge the speed of the tunnel dug by the thieves by counting the soil that was moved.

According to the current progress, even if it is a narrow tunnel, it will take five days to dig to the root of the city wall.

Seeing that it was getting dark.

Lieutenant General Wang Tianba entered the city gate tower, led his soldiers to eat wine and meat, and then simply went to sleep.

As the sky gradually darkened.

Zhu Qiwu originally thought that the tunnel excavation should be stopped, after all, it is really dangerous to be blind.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yiba and the others not only did not intend to suspend work, but instead worked even harder.

"Hu Yiba, it's getting dark, do you want to take a rest?" Zhu Qiwu asked towards the entrance of the tunnel.

A big black face crawled out of it, it was the grave robber Hu Yiba.

"Mr. Jun, we are not afraid of the dark. We dig more progress at night to save the officers and soldiers, oh no, to save the Tartars from Haozhou from digging deep trenches to stop them!" Hu Yiba said very positively.

This is not because Hu Yiba and others have selflessly contributed to the cause of the rebellion, and they are not afraid of hardships or tiredness!

They were really frightened by Zhu Qiwu.

Before digging the tunnel, Zhu Qiwu explained all the ways the Haozhou defenders might deal with the acupoint attack.
