Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 641 Mahamu’s ambition
In the "Mozi: Preparing Acupoints" written thousands of years ago, the methods of guarding against tunnel offensives were listed in detail.Zhu Di was familiar with military literature, and Yao Guangxiao was even more proficient in the studies of various schools of thought.When I saw the Wala people shoveling earth to build mountains, I was already prepared to prepare for the tunnel.

Sure enough, a few days later, the Ming army heard the sound of digging underground from the big urn, and they waited for work and were ready to use their tactics in the city.

However, not all the Wala army is mediocre.Mahamu, the Oara general who was responsible for digging the tunnel, was worried about whether the tunnel could be effective.

"Abu." In Haohai Dayu's tent, young Mahamu was reporting on the progress of the tunnel. "With the cover of the earth and mountains, the tunnel has been dug for twelve miles to the west. I think we can dig into the city of Hami tomorrow."

"It's just that the defense in Hami City is in charge of the Han people. Most of the Han people are cunning, and King Yan is not an ordinary person. Using tunnels can only send a few hundred warriors into the city, I'm afraid..."

Haohidayu is more like a jester attached to Yesudier when he is next to Yesudier.However, his son Mahamu is quite opinionated on weekdays.

"Mahamu, I know you can't bear to leave those warriors." Haohidayu said with a serious face. "You and those warriors are as close as brothers. We eat together and herd horses together on weekdays. They are die-hard loyalists of our Choros clan, and they are the little confidence we have slowly accumulated over the years..."

"But you have to know that the Great Khan's order is absolute. The glory of Choros only exists under the glory of Borzhin."

"But..." Mahamu still wanted to argue.To be fair, he didn't think much of the young Khan Yesudier.

He just inherited the bloodline of the Golden Family. Didn’t he lose half of the grassland?Mahamu firmly believed that if his surname was not Chuolos but Bo'er Jijin, he would definitely do better than Yesudie'er.

He still wanted to argue, but saw that Haohai Tatsuyu had already made a gesture to silence him.Under Mahamu's eyes, Haohai Dayu walked quietly to the curtain of the big tent, looked around, and then pulled the curtain tightly back.

"Keep your voice down. If the Great Khan hears it, how will I, Choros, be able to gain a foothold in Wala? Are you going to risk your life?"

"But Abu, we can't lose these warriors. Ugqi Hashha is dead, and all the leaders are eyeing the tribe and wealth he left behind. If we Troos lose our warriors at this time, we will wait until we return to the grassland. How can we compete with other leaders when the time comes?"

"That King Yan of the Ming Dynasty is not an ordinary person, and since he is in Hami, maybe the Ming Dynasty will send reinforcements at some point... Abu, we should plan for ourselves!"

"I know, I know." Haohai Tatsuyu tried hard to comfort his ambitious son. His eyes were no longer submissive, but shone like a wolf's shrewd light. "Of course I will not let the warriors die. I also asked the Great Khan to dig the tunnel... Do you know that we have our internal agents in Hami City?"

"I know it's those Semu people... but the city defense is controlled by King Yan and the Han national master. Those weak Semu people will not have the chance to help us capture the city wall..."

"I also know that the Semu people cannot be the opponents of the Han people. They are too stupid and selfish, and they can't even do simple things... But do you know? The Han people have a word called 'frightened bird', which means What's more, some timid birds don't need arrows at all. As long as they hear the sound of a warrior pulling his bow, they will be frightened and fall into the warrior's pocket."

"Now, the mighty king of the city, Wu Nasili, is the stupid bird in this word."

"Abu means..." Mahamu was not a mediocre person, and he immediately understood what his father meant. "We are the warriors who draw the bow?"

"Yes!" Haohai Dayu twirled the short beard on his chin, showing a very cunning look. "Wuna Shili is almost frightened by the news in the city. As long as he hears the news that someone is attacking the city, he will definitely escape or surrender regardless."

"Hami is the city of Wunasili after all. He has been running Hami for several generations, and his power in the city is far greater than that of King Yan of the Ming Dynasty from outside." "As long as he is frightened, Hami will be in the pocket of the Great Khan. thing. And we are the first to break the city... I have obtained a promise from the Great Khan, whoever can get the first victory will inherit the status and wealth of Ugqi Hashiha..."

"Child, this is an opportunity that Troos rarely encounters once in 1000 years..."

Mahamu was stunned when he heard that he could inherit Ugqi Hashiha's property. You must know that Ugqi Hashha was the biggest leader under Yesudie'er in the past, and his warriors and cattle and sheep were invincible. A few, it can be said to be a world of difference from the Troos family.

Moreover, as long as they create momentum after entering the city, those semu people will naturally take advantage of the situation to persuade the mighty king Wuna Shili, and the Wala army outside the city will also take advantage of the situation to attack the city to support them.Even if the Ming army is already prepared, it seems...it's not that difficult?

"...Abu, I understand." Mahamu nodded heavily. Compared with the huge wealth and power, it is not that those loyal warriors who eat and sleep together and are as close as brothers cannot give up.

So Mahamu began to devote himself to the work of digging tunnels overnight.For the sake of safety, he deliberately created several forked roads in each tunnel to prevent the Ming army from blocking the tunnels and intercepting them.The longest tunnels and branch roads even extended two miles further than the other tunnels, and he himself planned to use this tunnel to enter the city.

A few days later, he led hundreds of warriors, divided several tunnels, and secretly reached the underground of Hami City.

"Quick, dig up."

It was ten minutes after midnight, the night was cold and quiet, and it was a time for the two armies to take a truce and rest.Guessing that the time was almost up, Mahamu asked his men to dig out the thin layer of dust that had been deliberately left behind. Suddenly, the cold moonlight penetrated into the originally dark and turbid tunnel.

However, what also came through was the cold tip of the spear.The moonlight only illuminated the cave for a moment, and the cold light of the weapons had already made these warriors of the Cholos clan feel even more bone-deep cold.The originally silent night was filled with shouts in Chinese:
"Good thief, grandpas have been waiting for a long time!"

The random spears stabbed several Walas to death immediately. Although the warriors held up their shields, they were unable to kill them out of the small cave.They originally thought that even if the defenders were prepared, such a long front would not be heavily guarded everywhere.But now looking through the moonlight, it was clear that there was a large group of people crowding outside the cave, as if they had already guessed that they would get out of here.

There are so many swords, spears, swords and halberds poking and slashing indiscriminately. No matter how amazing your power is, you will not be able to take another step forward.Immediately, someone shouted: "There are obviously a lot of barbarians here! Get back and find another way!"

"Yeah, the thieves have escaped. Hurry, hurry up, use smoke! Smoke these burrowers to death..."

The Han people obviously had various methods to deal with digging tunnels. After a while, most of the Wala people who dug holes were stabbed to death or smoked to death in the ground.Even to their death, they did not understand why the Han people seemed to be able to see the route of their tunnels, even though they were operating underground, setting up ambushes at the entrance of the caves, and letting galloping horses trample on the pavement dug through the tunnels.The force of the galloping horses completely shook the tunnels extending into the city. Many of the Wala people who chose to dig tunnels were cut off from their retreat. They had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

"Master Dao Yan, those tunnels have been cleared." Wang Xianchen, who was in charge of tonight's city defense work, reported.

"Amitabha." Yao Guangxiao gently announced the Buddha's name, but there was no sign of relief on his face.Using a large urn to detect the nine underworlds is a method that the Mongols simply don't know about.By knowing versus not knowing, there should be victory but no defeat.

"Did you remember to leave only one fish that slipped through the net?" Yao Guangxiao asked.

Defending the tunnel is just a trivial matter. Going with the flow and making good use of these Wala people who dug holes is the real big thing for Yao Guangxiao to do tonight.
