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

However, a detachment of soldiers was left behind to monitor the laborers.

It looks like they're going to make the laborers dig tunnels day and night.

Anyway, the tunnels still need lights during the day.

As for the cold,

It's not much colder in the tunnels at night than during the day.

Chapter 1608 Fire the Cannon!

Zhang Qing saw that the Jin Kingdom actually planned to dig tunnels overnight.

I lost patience and couldn't wait any longer.

Although the eavesdroppers still did not report that the Jin army had dug tunnels close to the city wall.

Let's give the Ministry of War's new approach a try.

When Yue Fei saw Zhang Qing about to light the cannons, he suddenly said,

"General, wait a moment. Let those listening below rest first."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid they'll be the first to be killed by the shock."

Zhang Qing also remembered the people lying on the ground listening in.

They amplified the sound considerably by using water tanks buried underground.

If it could really kill the people in the tunnel...

The person who was eavesdropping must have died an even more gruesome death.

"Thank goodness you reminded me,"

"Otherwise, we might accidentally hurt our own people again."

Zhang Qing sent someone to tell the people listening below to take a break.

To receive a reward

Only then were the cannons lit.

Throw it into the hole below the wall.

Although the cannons were much heavier

But the reputation of the Featherless Arrow wasn't earned for nothing.

The cannonball landed precisely in the hole.

Exploded with a bang.

A clump of soil shot straight into the sky.

The sound seemed to have gotten louder.

But it doesn't seem to be enough to kill anyone.

Of course, this is how the person who closed the door feels.

Those who had almost reached the city wall felt as if a thunderbolt had struck them from the sky.

Some were directly knocked unconscious.

Some people bleed from all seven orifices and become mentally impaired.

The person at the very back also had stars in their eyes.

All that could be seen was that the tunnel below had been blown up.

However, the results of the battle are nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Qing thought for a moment.

"Let the person listening listen again,"

"Is anyone still digging tunnels?"

Those listening in heard the sound of artillery fire.

They also curiously lay down on the water tank buried underground to listen.

Deathly silence

The sound of digging has completely disappeared.

Zhang Qing heard the report below,

He swallowed hard and said,

"They must have all died from the shock, right?"

Yue Fei thought for a moment and said,

"Even if he doesn't die, he'll probably be injured."

"The sound cannot dissipate underground."

"I remember playing in the cellar when I was a kid,"

"Shouting out loudly is so loud it hurts my ears."

Zhu Tong said, "Wait a little longer."

"If no one comes out,"

"No one's digging around the soil, so they're probably all dead from the earthquake."

The soldiers on the city wall also looked curiously at the several holes in the distance.

Wuzhu was young and impetuous.

He also personally supervised the battle with a troop of guards.

At the same time, it also protects the laborers.

To prevent a sudden attack from a troop of soldiers who would slaughter all the laborers.

After seeing the Liang soldiers throw a cannonball into the hole they had dug,

They were puzzled and sent a few laborers up to check the situation.

Since the laborers went into the tunnel,

The defending troops stopped attacking the laborers who were being replaced.

Stone cannons have little chance of hitting a moving wooden cart.

Moreover, the catapult suffers significant wear and tear with each operation.

Later, some laborers noticed that the archers were not attacking them.

So they simply abandoned the wooden cart.

Run within the archer's range.

The soldiers of Daliang did not fire any arrows.

Their firing arrows was simply a way to make the laborers push the wooden carts around again.

It's meaningless.

It can be said that both sides were waiting for the Liang army to figure out how the Jin soldiers dug tunnels.

The selected laborers mustered their courage and rushed to the tunnel entrance.

Jump into the hole,

The hole has been dug down to a depth of one person.

The transverse tunnel was also three or four feet wide.

The laborers could kneel inside and keep digging forward.

There wasn't just one person in the tunnel.

Instead, it was a row of people.

The people in front keep digging forward.

The people behind them then carried the soil out.

The laborers jumped into the cave entrance.

Then I saw a person kneeling blankly in the tunnel.

"Hey!"

The laborer shouted,

The person inside the tunnel moved.

Want to turn around

However, they got stuck in the tunnel.

"ass."

The laborer cursed under his breath.

He leaned in.

Grab the man's leg,

He pulled it out in one swift motion.

The man fell at the entrance of the cave.

Sit up.

Blood was dripping from the corners of his eyes and nose.

Staring blankly at the person in front of him.

"what!"

The laborer screamed in fright at the man's appearance.

I almost jumped to the ground.

After a while,

Seeing that the person remained motionless,

He waved his hand in front of the person.

Seeing that the person didn't react, he asked in confusion,

"Silly?"

The laborer leaned out of the tunnel again to look through it.

The people inside remained completely still.

I dare not stay any longer.

Climb up the ladder that stands at the entrance of the cave.

Seeing a laborer climb out as well, he asked,

Are the people down below still alive?

The laborer pulled a person up from the ground.

Both had blood coming from their eyes and nose, and they just stared blankly.

"It's the same here."

The two people looked down and saw that everyone was stunned.

My legs immediately started trembling.

They were afraid that the Jurchens would force them to dig tunnels again.

But they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to report.
