The Tyrant of the Great Qian Dynasty: Not only will I refuse to arrange a marriage alliance, but I w

Inside the tunnel, the engineering foreman wiped the cold water from his face.

He hadn't had time to figure out where the water came from.

Then, the second drop, the third drop...

More and more water droplets seeped down from the top of the tunnel.

The originally dry soil began to become moist and soft.

The northern barbarian engineers around them also noticed that something was wrong.

"Boss, what... what's going on? Why is it leaking?"

"Yes, up there, isn't that the ground? Where did the water come from?"

A small commotion spread through the tunnel.

Although the engineering foreman was uneasy about taking the credit, he still sternly stopped his men from discussing it.

"What's the panic! It's just groundwater! Get to work! Set up the fuses, the Great Khan is waiting for us to light it!"

His rebuke temporarily quelled everyone's doubts.

The engineers quickened their pace.

Right now!

A deep, muffled thud came from the top of the tunnel!

The sound was like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, echoing endlessly in the narrow tunnel.

The wooden planks supporting the top made a cracking sound as they succumbed to the weight.

Soil and gravel fell down with a soft rustling sound.

A turbid and rapid torrent poured in like a dam breaking through the collapsed breach!

"It's water! It's water!"

"Oh my god! Run!"

The barbarian soldiers inside the tunnel let out screams of terror that were distorted and hard to hear.

The narrow tunnel had become a deadly conduit.

The river, carrying a large amount of silt, relentlessly washed over everything inside the tunnel.

People, gunpowder, tools...

Everything was swept up in this raging torrent.

The gunpowder that hadn't yet been washed away by the water quickly lost its effectiveness upon contact with water, turning into a pile of useless mud.

The barbarian soldiers closest to the exit reacted the fastest.

They threw down their tools and scrambled back the way they came, fleeing desperately.

However, the tunnel's exit was simply too small.

Thousands of people crammed into a narrow passage, trying to escape at the same time, is simply a pipe dream.

Soon after, a severe stampede occurred at the exit.

Those behind were pushed forward by the flood, unable to control their own momentum.

Those in front were blocked from their own people.

The tunnel's exit became a human millstone, mercilessly crushing countless lives.

Outside the city, in a low-lying area.

Hu Yanba stood at the entrance of the tunnel, full of anticipation, waiting for the earth-shattering explosion that could change the course of the battle.

But what he got was not an explosion.

Instead, it was a torrent of floodwater gushing out of the tunnel entrance like a fountain!

The murky, muddy water, carrying immense force, gushed out from the dark entrance.

Also swept out were the corpses, already crushed beyond recognition and incomplete.

Huyan Ba ​​watched helplessly as thousands of engineers, on whom he had placed his high hopes, were drowned alive in the graves they had dug themselves.

His body trembled with anger.

His face turned a deep purplish-red.

He got tricked again!

Once again, he fell into the trap that Su Zhe, that little beast, had dug for him!

"Su Zhe—!"

Huyan Ba ​​roared to the sky, pointing at the towering city wall in the distance, and with all his might, he howled:

"You despicable and shameless scoundrel! If you have the guts, come out of your turtle shell and fight me to the death!"

His voice was filled with impotent rage.

Su Zhe's figure slowly appeared atop the city wall.

He stood at the highest point of the city tower, looking down at the furious Northern Barbarian Chanyu below.

He laughed loudly, his voice carrying clearly throughout the entire battlefield:

"Huyan Ba, didn't you want a final battle?"

"Alright, I'll give you that chance."

He raised his hand and waved it gently behind him.

The next moment, a scene that left Huyan Ba ​​and all his barbarian soldiers dumbfounded unfolded.

At the same time, all four city gates of the capital opened completely with a creaking sound!

The first disturbance was at the south gate.

An army of soldiers, clad in heavy armor and wielding massive blades as tall as a man, marched out of the city gate in perfect unison.

They stood in a square formation, their blades like a forest, silently exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

That's right, the Mo Dao team!

At the East Gate, the sound of horses' hooves thundered.

A cavalry unit, clad in silver armor and riding white horses, charged out of the city gate like an arrow released from a bow.

Their silver armor gleamed brightly in the sunlight, exuding a murderous aura that swept across the land.

Indeed, the Great Snow Dragon Rider!

The North Gate, the city gate that had haunted the Northern Barbarian army with endless nightmares, was also opened.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion reappeared.

They remained in neat ranks, their muskets already loaded, the dark muzzles pointed at the enemy ahead, ready for battle.

Even the weakest force, which had been used as a feint attack point, sent out an army from Ximen.

Ten thousand Imperial Guards, now clad in captured heavy armor, stood in imposing formation outside the city gates, led by a general.

After being besieged for so long, the Great Qian garrison actually chose to launch a full-scale attack!

Huyan Ba ​​and his barbarian soldiers were stunned.

They never imagined that after such a fierce battle, Su Zhe would not only not be depleted of troops, but would also have the strength to launch a full-scale counterattack.

Especially when they saw the Mo Dao formation, which moved slowly forward like a steel behemoth.

Seeing the elusive Snow Dragon Riders, who once slaughtered 30,000 Azure Wolf Iron Cavalry in a single night.

Many barbarian soldiers' legs had begun to tremble involuntarily.

Morale has plummeted to rock bottom.

Just then, Su Zhe's voice rang out again, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

"Huyan Ba, in our battle, why should we involve our innocent soldiers?"

"If you defeat me, I will hand over the capital of my Great Qian Dynasty without hesitation."

"If you are defeated, leave behind your head and the lives of your 400,000-strong army."

He paused for a moment, his words carrying an air of boundless dominance.

"Do you dare to fight me on the battlefield?"
