Chapter 198: Digging the tunnel

Chu Qin calmed down this time. If Gu Du came to attack the camp, there would be heavy casualties. Chu Qin could defend or not, and the guard was to consume each other, but Gu Du definitely consumed more troops than Chu Qin, and if he did not attack the camp, he could retreat to Lingyun County. If Gu Du did not come to attack the camp, Chu Qin would throw tincture tanks into the city every day.

After fighting for three days, Gu Du asked his female disciples to send Dongfang Xialan, the children, and Dongfang Wen back to Shanyuan Mountain, and then led 30,000 troops out of the city and camped two miles away from Chuqin camp.

Chu Qin climbed up the viewing tower and watched it. Gu Duzi was very obsessed. He hid the chicken leg bones when he was selected. Now he has led his troops here but has not attacked the camp. I don’t know what other ideas are being made of.

But after half an hour of watching, I didn't see anything strange in Gu Du's camp. Chu Qin was a little unsure. The distance was too close. Although the catapult and crossbow were not accessible, if they rushed to the camp, they would be able to fight in an instant. What was Gu Du doing?

Gu Du had to do it to dig the tunnel.

Gu Du thought for three days and if he bypassed the camp, he would be attacked from front and back. Although he was not afraid of being beaten, the damage caused by this kind of beating was too heavy. Chu Qin's intention was probably to consume each other.

At one time, he consumed Lingguo's troops because Lingguo was in a long-distance raid. Now that the situation has reversed, Zeguo has to constantly replenish troops from the rear. Lingguo has an advantage in time, so Gu Du cannot consume with Chu Qin, even one-on-one is not worth it.

But I can't stand up and let Chu Qin do this. Although the city is very solid, it is slow to consume it when I always fight like this. I can't expect Chu Qin to wipe out the turmeric oil before stopping.

So Gu Du came up with a way to dig a tunnel, dig down a wall of Chuqin camp, and then he could charge.

However, it is not easy to dig tunnels, because Chu Qin's tower is extremely high. If Chu Qin sees Zejun moving the soil, she will figure it out and will immediately retreat to Lingyun County.

So Gu Du asked someone to set up a huge tent in the back camp, first digging a big pit of two people deep, piled up the soil in the tent, and then ordered fifty people to bring enough water and food, take iron shovels in, and dig forward. The digging soil was placed behind him, which was equivalent to digging in front and filling in the back. These fifty people had to wait until the war was finished before they could come out from the ground, and each person was killed and the first level of the enemy's head was recorded.

Gu Du also made two long wooden piles to compare the width of the tent, as a guide to the excavation direction. As long as you dig straight in the direction of the two wooden piles, you can dig Chu Qin's camp.

It's been three days since Chu Qin's sleep, she just sat in the stool and stared at Gu Du's camp with a small stool, because Gu Du had no movement at all in the past three days.

Suddenly, I felt that the tower was shaking gently, and Chu Qin was stunned. How could it shake if the tower was so heavy and there was no strong wind?

Suddenly thinking of Gu Du's plan, Chu Qin hurried down from the looking building and ordered: "All armies prepare for war!"

It was too late to retreat at this time. Ze army must have been digging for three days and had already reached the bottom of the tower. Ze army must be waiting for the battle and can rush to the camp at any time.

Chu Qin ordered the deputy general to lead two teams of soldiers to remove the back wall of the camp to open the retreat passage and to let someone place the turbulent oil tank behind the tent in the back camp.

On the side of Gu Du, soldiers came in to report: "Report to the commander, the wooden walls of the enemy camp are loose."

Gu Du shouted: "Release the tent!"

Seeing that the gate of Ze's military camp opened wide, he went out to form an array and advanced toward this side, Chu Qin shouted, "Arrange it ten feet away from the gate! Archers are ready!"

The wooden wall fell, and Gu Duling said, "Shoot the arrow!"

Countless arrows were shot out, and Gu Du ordered again: "Crash the camp!"

"Kill..." the entire army shouted and rushed towards the enemy camp.

Chu Qinling said: "Shoot the arrow!"

In an instant, Ze army rushed into the camp, and there were another 10,000 people, divided into two groups, circled around both sides of the camp, and surrounded the back camp.

Chu Qin shouted: "Retreat to Lingyun County! Retreat quickly!"

Chu Qin was defeated again. When she ran back, she recalled that Shangguan He once mentioned that Gu Dudi would dig holes when he was young, one to hide from the wind and keep warm, and the other to avoid those who bullied him. Unexpectedly, he would dig holes even when he was in war.

Gu Du chased the three miles and ordered the troops to withdraw and clean up the battlefield. He did not dare to chase them hard, for fear that Chu Qin would have an ambush.

The tincture oil tank left by Chu Qin did not have time to ignite it. Chu Qin issued an order when she retreated to ignite the tincture oil, but no one listened to him and ran away. So hundreds of tincture oil tanks were carried back to Linghe County.

Chu Qin's losses this time were not serious, with less than 5,000 casualties, but Chu Qin discovered a terrible problem. The Ling Army was frightened by Gu Du. When she heard of retreating, she turned around and ran away, without caring about anything, just thinking about saving her life.

Morale is so sluggish that we must never fight again. Judging from Gu Du's current situation, it will not expand within one or two years, because his troops are not strong enough, so we should rest and rest, and we must come up with feasible strategies to deal with Gu Du.

Gu Du waited for a month, but Chu Qin never came again. Gu Du knew that Chu Qin would not fight again, but he had no choice but to fight because he received the spy and the Spirit Emperor gave Chu Qin power, so Chu Qin could fight anyway.

If Gu Du goes to Lingyi County, Chu Qin will definitely come to attack Linghe County. So on the one hand, Gu Du has to accumulate troops, and on the other hand, he has to cultivate a real deputy. He alone is really useless. Even if he doesn't have to stare at Chu Qin, there will be more and more cities to attack in the future. He can't lead his troops to fight in every city, right?

The most suitable candidate is Feng Jiu, because Ye Xiaodong is too stupid, just follow him to fight, so don’t think about leading the army. Although other spirit masters are also OK, they cannot control the soul army if they want to lead the army. There are few high-level spirit masters in Zeguo. If they are divided, they will lead the army, which will not be worth the loss.

Gu Du called Fengjiu and told him what he thought.

Feng Jiu said: "Although Yan Zi is not as powerful as me, she is much more intelligent than me. Will I take her?"

Gu Du shook his head and said, "She is a mother, so let her take care of the children at home. Li Xia will not go to battle, and I will not let Xia Lan go to battle. How can we let Yan Zi go to battle? We are much better than before, so there is no need to let women go to battle and kill the enemy."

Feng Jiu's eyes were very pleased. No matter what, there was always danger in fighting. He asked, "Master, let me lead the army, will those generals agree?"

Gu Du replied: "It doesn't matter whether they agree or not. As long as the emperor gives an order, they will agree, but they will definitely not accept it, so I have to pave the way for you."

Feng Jiu looked at Gu Du, how could he pave the way? He directly asked him to lead his troops to fight? What if he was defeated? The other party is the master Chu Qin!

Gu Du looked at him and said, "Don't be afraid. I guess I won't fight again within two years. You start with training and practice on my behalf. I believe no one dares to criticize me. When they are used to listening to your orders, I will ask the emperor to promote you."

Feng Jiu was obviously relieved and bowed and replied, "Yes."
