第一百八十三章:掘子军,灭

"Brothers, put in more effort! Once we dig through, we will claim the first credit in this battle!" A Yuan army captain urged his troops in this digging corps.

A soldier of the tunneling army looked at the lieutenant of the tunneling army with narrow eyes and asked, "Boss, how much reward do you think the Lord will give us?"

The lieutenant of the tunneling army angrily slapped the soldier's head twice and replied, "You're such a worthless person! Reward? You really lack vision, kid. Do you even know what we're doing? If this tunnel successfully reaches below the enemy camp, what do you think will happen?"

"Ambushing the Cao army?" The soldier glanced at his own captain cautiously, and spoke up carefully.

"Great, finally someone with a bit of intelligence. This is the key to defeating the Cao scoundrels! Forget about the meager rewards, everyone will be promoted three ranks without a doubt. Just think about it, once you're promoted, would you still lack money?"

"Hehe, hehe." The soldier continued to laugh foolishly while rubbing his head, and his hands stopped working.

The sergeant kicked him hard in the buttocks and said, "Get back to work! Every moment of delay increases the possibility of being discovered by Cao's troops."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

大约挖了半个时辰,一名掘子军士兵却感觉怪怪的。

“头儿,你来看看!”

What's wrong?

The soldier picked up a piece of soil and handed it to the Digger Army Captain. "Boss, you see, this piece of soil."

Ju Zi, a school officer, took the soil and felt it, realizing that it was somewhat moist.

"Could it be someone's water bag that leaked or sweat?"

"Boss, that's exactly what I thought at first. However, I've been digging for quite a while and the soil inside has been getting wetter. And no matter how a water bag leaks, it wouldn't be able to soak the soil that deep!"

Captain Juzijun of the Exploration Corps couldn't help but furrow his brow. "We've slightly deviated from our intended direction, and it's impossible for us to dig all the way to the Jishi River, right?"

The Jishi River, also known as Baigou River or Sha River, originates from Dashimen in the southwest of Zanhuang County, Hebei Province. It flows northeast, then turns southeast, and enters Gaoyi County. It is mentioned in the poem "Quan Shui" in the Book of Songs: "We stayed overnight at Jishi." Its lower course has undergone multiple relocations. During the Han Dynasty, it flowed into the Zhi River near Ting Tao County (now southwestern Ningjin County), as recorded in the Book of Han: "Zanhuang Mountain, where the Jishi River originates, flows east and enters Zhi River near Ting Tao." During the Tang Dynasty, it flowed northeast of present-day Baixiang County and then entered the Diao River. In Qing Dynasty, it flowed through present-day Gaoyi and Baixiang counties in the north and entered the Bo River in Ningjin.

Meanwhile, Qishui is also a water source for the Cao army, supplying them with drinking water.

Rustling.

"What is that sound?"

Just as the digging army captain and soldiers were contemplating, a faint sound came from the side.

"The sound of flowing water?"

Suddenly, another soldier from the excavation team smashed open the layer of soil in front of him with a hoe, and a stream of water shot out from the soil, splashing all over the face of that soldier from the excavation team.

“Where did this water come from?” The soldier from the Excavator Army wiped his face with a hand, looking puzzled.

The Centurion of the Excavator Army, however, was greatly alarmed upon seeing this scene. He had already figured out what the situation was. Translation:

"Oh no! Run!"

Boom!

The ground instantly splits open, and a huge stream of water rushes into the tunnel, directly impacting the soldiers of the digging team.

"Ah! Save me! I can't swim!"

"Damn it! What the hell is going on?"

"Ah! Help me!"

The relentless flow of water poured into this underground passage, filling it more and more. The merciless river water drowned the entire army of a thousand diggers in the tunnel. Translation is complete.

Originally, when Cao Cao learned that the Yuan army was digging tunnels in preparation for a surprise attack on Cao's camp, he ordered his own troops to dig a long trench inside the camp to resist the enemy. At the same time, he connected the trench to the Jishi River, making it convenient for his troops to access water. However, when the one thousand soldiers were digging towards the trench, they were all drowned by the rushing water from the Jishi River. As a result, Cao Cao easily foiled Yuan's plan.

In Yuan Jun's big tent, Yuan Shao once again flew into a rage and slashed the table in front of him with a sword. As a result, he lost three thousand archers and one thousand pioneers, while the enemy forces led by Cao barely suffered any losses!

"Cao Mengde! This battle is not over yet!"

Yuan Shao shouted angrily, then sat back in his commanding position. Soon after, a subordinate came up and tidied up the objects on the overturned table, replacing it with a new mahogany one.

"Zishan."

"I am here."

Yan Liang took a step forward and saluted.

Zishan is Yan Liang's courtesy name.

Yuan Shao calling him by his courtesy name also indicates that he is not overly blaming him.

I am clear about my own affairs.

前些时候被许褚杀得有多狼狈,颜良记忆犹新。说心里话,许褚他不敢去照面,但是其他人却不会畏惧。但有那么一个克星在,颜良始终有些嘀咕。听到袁绍唤他,颜良心里一颤。

“你开战前不是与我说,要去曹贼首级嘛?可曹贼的首级,今在何处?”

颜良闻言,蹭地一下满脸通红。

如果是在私下里,颜良或许还不觉得怎样。可在大帐中,所有人的目光都盯着他,令颜良更觉羞愧。

When he set out for battle, he was extremely arrogant! He repeatedly declared his intention to decapitate Commander Cao!

Ever since Yan Liang reached the super elite level, he believed that he could definitely rival warriors like Dian Wei and Xu Chu. After all, these two also remained at the early stage of the super elite level.

However, after arriving in Yanjin, he was defeated by Xu Chu. It should be noted that even though they were both at the super-first-rate initial level, their foundations were different. Moreover, Xu Chu's strength was incredibly powerful, even surpassing that of Dian Wei's brute force. Translated: However, after arriving in Yanjin, he was defeated by Xu Chu. It should be noted that even though they were both at the super-first-rate initial level, their foundations were different. Moreover, Xu Chu's strength was incredibly powerful, even surpassing that of Dian Wei's brute force.

With this statement, Yuan Shao made Yan Liang feel utterly ashamed and compelled him to kneel on one knee, loudly declaring, "Yan Liang vowed to lead the vanguard and personally engage in a battle with the traitor Cao Cao, swearing to claim his head as a trophy!"

Yan Liang became increasingly excited, as he retreated and clenched his fist in secret, psyching himself up and determined to risk it all tomorrow, ready to engage in a life-or-death battle against Xu Chu!

Yuan Shao's gaze immediately softened, nodding slightly to show his appreciation.

He wasn't really blaming Yan Liang just now, but rather using provocative tactics. Yuan Shao was well aware of the duel between Yan Liang and Xu Chu, and in terms of sheer strength, Yan Liang was indeed slightly inferior to Xu Chu. However, war is not won by individual bravery alone. What Yuan Shao feared the most was Yan Liang losing confidence, which is why he resorted to provocation. From the current situation, it seems that the result of this provocation is not too bad!

Someone has said that Yuan Shao was broad-minded but had internal fears, which were not worth worrying about. Cao Cao also boasted that Yuan Shao was nothing and would eventually be defeated. However, this does not mean that Yuan Shao was really incapable. In history, Yuan Shao became the overlord of Hebei, dominating four provinces, and it was not just his background that led to this. Moreover, to say that he was incapable, it depends on who he is compared to. If he is compared to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao may be inferior. But if compared to others, Yuan Shao can definitely be regarded as a remarkable person.
