Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

the other side,

At the Liangshan camp,

After examining the structure and location of Zengtou City's city walls, Tao Zongwang, the Nine-Tailed Turtle,...

He immediately got his men and soldiers to work.

In order to cooperate with Tao Zongwang and his team's actions

On Liangshan side,

Specifically, at a location 300 paces in front of the Zengtou City wall.

They established a branch village.

Featuring Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, Luan Tingyu, Yang Zhi, and others.

He led three or four thousand troops to garrison here.

Tao Zongwang

He then led more than forty men under his command.

It all started from this branch village.

They dug tunnels towards the city wall of Zengtou City.

Although it was the dead of winter

The ground was covered in snow.

A chilling cold.

But the tunnel only needs to be dug down to a depth of ten inches or so.

It then became noticeably warmer.

Tao Zongwang and his men,

No wonder he's a civil engineering specialist.

It only takes about a day.

They found a tunnel.

They had already excavated most of the distance.

With only half a day left,

That way, the tunnel can be completely dug through.

After thinking for a while, Huyan Zhuo

Zhao Yuan suggested,

"Chief, why don't we have Tao Zongwang and his brothers dig a tunnel tonight?"

"That way, when the tunnel is completed,"

"It's just evening,"

"Then, let's press on with our momentum,"

"We can definitely take Zengtou City directly."

"Go all out..."

Zhao Yuan shook his head.

"General Huyan, do you think Zengtou City has been discovered?"

"Are we digging a tunnel here?"

"this......"

Huyan Zhuo was stunned for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment,

He still spoke up.

"They should have already discovered it,"

"After all, the way we set up this branch camp is so unusual,"

"Those people from Zengtou City,"

"Anyone who knows even a little bit about siege warfare,"

"They should all be able to figure it out,"

"We're digging a tunnel here."

"If they find out,"

Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment,

"How can we not make preparations?"

"But that's precisely why,"

Huyan Zhuo said anxiously,

"We should take advantage of the night to launch a swift attack on the city..."

Chapter 1450 Why didn't you come?

"We can always catch them off guard at night,"

Huyan Zhuo said,

"Once we take action during the day,"

"What if they find out?"

"The people from our tunnel,"

"Wouldn't that be...?"

"Don't worry, General Huyan,"

Zhao Yuan laughed.

“I have discussed this matter with the Tao brothers.”

"He also felt,"

"Keep digging like this,"

"There is a high probability that they will be discovered by the people of Zengtou City."

"So we have decided,"

"Once the tunnel reaches beneath the city wall of Zengtou City,"

"We'll stop digging."

"what?"

Huyan Zhuo was stunned.

"They only dug down to the base of the city wall,"

"Then what's the use of this tunnel?"

"Don't worry, General Huyan,"

Zhao Yuan said,

"Since we've already done this,"

"Of course it works."

Seeing that Huyan Zhuo still looked puzzled,

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"General Huyan, just wait and see."

"I'll explain it to you now,"

You probably won't believe it either.

?"All right,"

Huyan Zhuo nodded in confusion.

"Wait until tomorrow,"

Zhao Yuan looked at the city wall not far away.

"You'll find out when the time comes, General Huyan."

...

Late at night, Zengtou City

Shi Wengong and Zeng Tu both felt that

If Liangshan wanted to rely on digging tunnels,

Attack Zengtou City

Nine times out of ten they will choose to do it at night.

Therefore, Shi Wengong and Su Ding

There are also the five tigers of the Zeng family.

They all stayed up all night.

Leading several hundred soldiers,

Bring along the tools you prepared beforehand to destroy the tunnels.

Waiting below the city wall.

"what......"

Zeng Mi yawned.

"It's already past 3 AM,"

"In another hour,"

"It's probably almost dawn,"

"Will Liangshan really come?"

"It definitely will,"

Shi Wengong said in a deep voice,

"The closer it gets to dawn,"

"The more drowsy a person becomes,"

"Then Liangshan must be planning to strike while we're all dozing off,"

"Dig the tunnel completely again,"

"Then they'll take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on us!"

"Third brother, Teacher Shi is right,"

Zeng Tu nodded in agreement.

"Hang in there a little longer,"

"If Liangshan hasn't arrived by dawn,"

"And when did they make their move?"

"It should be tomorrow night,"

"Then we can go back and get some rest."
