The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 297
When the tunnel of Hu Yiba and others had been dug under the city wall of Silimar, the white-robed prophet Kedel and others were still watching the excitement on the city wall.

"Haha, these stupid Orientals!"

"By God, let these stupid Dongfang get out!"

"Do they think we don't know what digging tunnels is?"

"Let's hurry up and cut off the road ahead, so that they can't dig under the city wall!"

"No, let's not stop them, let them dig until they are about to approach the city wall, and then stop them in one fell swoop!"

Under the order of the white-robed prophet Kedel, all the rebels in the city of Silimar were waiting for the Han army to dig the tunnel halfway.

Then cut them off in one fell swoop to achieve the purpose of depleting the physical strength of the Han army.

But, they don't know.

When the Persian rebels thought that half of the tunnels of the Han army had not been dug, in fact, the tunnels of the Han army had already been dug under the city wall.

A large number of Persian rebels didn't know it, and they still gathered on the city wall to watch the fun.

For this situation, Liu Bian was very happy.

"Hu Yiba!" Liu Bian shouted an order.

"Your Majesty, the last will be here!"

Hu Yiba hurriedly heard the words and dispatched.

He is now the captain of the engineer in the army. Although he has a small number of people under his jurisdiction, his increasingly important role has allowed him to reach the rank of General Zhonglang.

"Are you sure you have dug the tunnel?" Liu Bian asked.

When Hu Yiba heard this, he immediately patted his chest in reassurance.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the last general dares to guarantee his life!" Hu Yiba shouted loudly.

His experience in tomb thieves is very rich. When he was under Lao Cao's tent, he helped General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin, and he did not know how many royal tombs were dug.

General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin were both officials. After the revival of the Han Dynasty, they both had their heads chopped off for destroying the royal tomb of the Han Dynasty.

However, Hu Yiba's technical faction survived because of his outstanding strength.

"Okay, then I order you to load the gunpowder now!" Liu Bian ordered loudly.

Hu Yiba immediately accepted the order happily.

"The last will obey!"

After working so hard for so long, what Hu Yiba was looking forward to was this moment.

Afterwards, the Han army engineering team led by Hu Yiba passed through the narrow tunnel and transported bags of gunpowder into the tunnel.

They then followed the tunnel and transported the gunpowder to the bottom of the city wall.

Although the tunnel is narrow, Hu Yiba and others dug a cavity under the city wall that is almost as wide as one person.

In this cavity, a gunpowder store about the size of a person was placed.

This gunpowder warehouse was filled with hundreds of catties of gunpowder, and it was finally filled.

General Hu Yiba, the engineer captain, personally made the final layout of the gunpowder fuse.

From here to the Han army camp, the distance is not small.

With such a long distance, if something goes wrong, all previous efforts will be wasted.

"Fatty, seal the gunpowder warehouse!" General Hu Zhonglang shouted loudly.

"Boss, don't worry, the ones I keep and seal are stronger than repairing the old man's tomb!" The fat man shouted loudly.

When the gunpowder warehouse was sealed off, a large amount of solid wood and stones made the entire gunpowder warehouse tightly sealed under the city of Silimar.

Hu Zhonglang will personally put down the two fuses.

These two fuses are wrapped with high-quality cotton yarn wrapped with gunpowder, and there is a layer of waterproof fine cloth coated with lard on the outside.

The entire fuse can basically be prevented from being broken, and it is not afraid of the moisture in the tunnel.

As for why there are two.

Of course, to ensure nothing goes wrong.

General Hu Zhonglang arranged the fuse and finally climbed out of the tunnel.

He was the last one to come out.

This marks that all the arrangements have been completed.

"How about it, can you light the fire?" Liu Bian asked.

The attitude of the Persian rebels in the city of Silmar was so arrogant that Liu Bian couldn't help but want to kill them.

Therefore, I am full of expectations for my engineers.

"Your Majesty, it's time to light the fire. It's guaranteed to be safe!" General Hu Dazhong said happily.

Liu Bian was also very happy.

Now there are a lot of Persian rebels in the city of Sylimar.

They all lay on the city wall and watched, as if they were laughing at the Han army digging the tunnel.

It is a very suitable opportunity to start.

"ignition!"

Liu Bian personally gave the order to light the fire.

With an order, the gunpowder fuse was ignited.

"The whole army retreats thirty steps!"

Liu Bian shouted loudly.

They have tried this method before, and all kinds of flying sand and rocks are quite powerful.

The Persian city of Silimar in front of us can't compare with the fortified city in the Central Plains. Once there is an explosion, maybe there will be even more powerful flying sand and rocks.

With Liu Bian's order, the Han army retreated in unison.

Groups of vanguard troops are ready to charge.

When the city wall was blown down, they would immediately rush in and massacre the Persian rebels.

The series of actions of the Han army completely confused the Persian rebels in the city of Sylimar.

They couldn't understand it anymore.

The actions of the Han army are really weird.

A group of Persian rebel leaders asked the white-robed prophet Kedel one after another.

"Prophet, what are these Easterners going to do?"

"Yes, why did they retreat so well?"

"Isn't their tunnel dug less than halfway? Why give up now?"

"Could it be that there are too many rocks underneath and there is no way to dig, so you have to retreat?"

"No, it doesn't look like it!"

Faced with inquiries from a group of people, the white-robed prophet Kedel was at a loss.

His military experience only told him some authentic siege situations.

However, they did not remember that there was an explanation for these strange behaviors of the orientals.

"Maybe it's the manifestation of the real god that made these Easterners retreat!" The white-robed prophet Kedel, even if he didn't know the truth of the matter, he couldn't keep silent, and immediately gave a reasonable suggestion. explain.

After all, for their faithful Persian rebels.

No matter what it is, everything is unresolved, and it can be shirked on the head of the true god.

Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, it is the will of the true God.

"Yes, what the prophet said makes sense!"

"It must be like this. These Easterners have been cursed by the true god, which makes them afraid to continue digging."

"God is above, bless us to win, and let your god name last forever on the land of Persia!"

In the words of a group of rebel generals, the white-robed prophet Kedel also felt that his explanation was very reasonable.

After all, apart from this explanation, he really couldn't think of any reasonable explanation.
