Chapter 614 Another plan?
"What? Your Majesty wants us to evacuate into the tunnel immediately? This... I want to go find Your Majesty and ask for clarification!"
As soon as the news reached the guard's ears, the guard, who was less than 30 years old, couldn't sit still immediately, and rushed to find Qin Yang.
When he found the king, Cheng Chumo was beside him.
Seeing the two standing together and talking, the guard's originally aggrieved mood immediately calmed down for the most part.
Even if the king wants to evacuate, but Cheng Chumo has fought many battles with Cheng Yaojin before, they are not members of the Cheng family army, and they have heard of Cheng Chumo's behavior.
This is a radical!
In terms of war, there are few veterans and successors of veterans who have conquered the world who are not radicals!
If there is something wrong with the King's decision, General Cheng Xiao would not be as calm as he is now.
Could it be that the king and General Cheng have other plans?
After thinking about this, the guard walked up to Qin Yang. He saluted Qin Yang first, and then expressed his confusion.
Cheng Chumo on the side said helplessly: "My lord, let me just say it. You will definitely be questioned when you issue this order."
Cheng Chumo then explained to the guard: "Don't worry, the reason for retreating to the tunnel this time is because the king wants to try tunnel warfare."
"Tunnel warfare?"
"Yeah, didn't the Tubo spies sneak in before, but were dragged in by your soldiers through the tunnel? This is the magical function of the tunnel! The layout of the checkpoint is not the layout of the city, but the layout of the town. So , when dealing with the enemies who come to attack the small town, the method of defending the city cannot be applied."
That's right!
The guard felt that he had been convinced by General Cheng!
That's right, the town they were guarding was called a military town, but there were only [-] defenders in the town, and not a single ordinary person!
So they don't have to defend the city like they do, they have to defend it!
Even if the enemy comes in, as long as they hide in the tunnel, there will be no casualties, because there is no one else in the town except the soldiers!
They don't need to worry about the enemy's entry at all, and the enemy enters the town from the open, and all kinds of roads and buildings will create opportunities for "street fighting"!
And the underground tunnels all over the town will give them an absolute advantage in fighting this "street battle"!
Your Majesty wants to experiment with the effects of tunnel warfare, and indeed there won't be too much loss.
The guard didn't need to be persuaded anymore, he figured out this truth by himself.
"It's the last general who was thinking about it just now!" The guard immediately apologized.
Qin Yang urged: "Don't say any more polite words, let people evacuate into the tunnel immediately, remember, even the food should be moved into the tunnel as much as possible! Pull the horses outside the back door, untie the reins, and let them out!"
Anyway, within the hundreds of miles within the checkpoint, there are empty and uninhabited places, and they are all within the scope of Youzhou!
Even if those horses run away temporarily, they will be caught sooner or later!
As soon as he heard that even the grain had to be moved into the tunnel, the guard realized that time was running out, and after a quick reply, he ran to make arrangements.
Cheng Chumo also arranged for the more than 1000 people they brought.
Most of the food was originally stored in the tunnel, including many weapons, which were stored in underground warehouses.
Except for gunpowder, which is placed outside, everything else is underground.
This time, some food and precious materials stored on it were sent down as soon as possible, so as not to be ruined by the Tibetans coming in.
It took about an hour or so before all of them were withdrawn.
Qin Yang didn't enter the tunnel immediately, but came to the top of the bunker, and together with Cheng Chumo looked at the Tubo camp in the distance with a binoculars.
From their position, they could not easily see the scene dozens of miles away, but if there were people coming over there, they could see clearly from here.
"coming."
I don't know how long it took, probably when the moon was already high, and finally there was movement in the distance. A large group of dark people moved quickly towards this side in an almost silent state.
The ones in front should be cavalry, but they didn't make any obvious noises. Qin Yang suspected that the hooves of those war horses should be wrapped in animal skins or something else.
So there is only a slightly dull sound, not crisp.
"My lord, what did they bring down?" Cheng Chumo also saw that the group of people stopped about a mile away from the checkpoint, and then lifted something from the car behind.
"That's... the red-clothed cannon? No, no, it's a trebuchet?" Qin Yang stared at it with a telescope, analyzed it carefully, and finally confirmed that the things brought by those Tubo people were neither red-clothed cannons, nor ordinary. trebuchet.
This is an improved version of the trebuchet, right?
Qin Yang wasn't surprised at all. Although he had a good reputation in this era because of the golden finger of the system, he never underestimated people in this era.
Although due to the limitations of the times, things like red cannons and muskets did sweep away all the weapons of this era when they came into the world!
But people in this era can't keep standing still, they will also make progress!
Now that gunpowder can be applied to the battlefield, it is not impossible for Tubo to develop a cannon-like weapon that can use gunpowder.
The reason why he stands here watching is because he wants to know what method you Tubo people will use to attack the town tonight, and now he understands.
It turned out to be the case.
No wonder the system would give such two choices. In the dead of night, even if someone saw those Tibetans and warned them in time, it would be almost impossible to evacuate them in a short period of time.
At that time, one's own side will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
"Go to the tunnel." Qin Yang took down the binoculars and said to Cheng Chumo beside him.
Their blockhouse goes all the way down, and it also leads directly to an authentic road.
So there is no need to go out, just go straight down, you can find the entrance mechanism, and enter the tunnel battle.
Just when Qin Yang and Cheng Chumo, together with the guard and a few soldiers, entered the entrance of the tunnel and the mechanism was closed, there was a roar above their heads!
This sound is like thunder on a sunny day!
Muffled!
Sure enough, the "catapult" they brought was specially used to drop explosives.
This thing is not bad. If it is used well, it will not be much worse than the red cannon.
Qin Yang was a little bit greedy, and he didn't know who was the person who developed this improved version of the trebuchet.
If such a talent can be snatched, maybe the opponent can go further in the military industry!
He has no shortage of drawings, but he lacks talents who can innovate!
boom!
Just when Qin Yang was thinking this way, there were already rumbling sounds from above.
