The Divine Yiwei stepped into the hall, fell to the ground, and said respectfully: "Report to the emperor, there are several wells in the city that suddenly dried up."

"The well water is exhausted?" Dingwu frowned, "What's the relationship?"

The Shenyiwei lowered his head, "These depleted wells are all close to the city walls. And yesterday the people were still using the clear water in the wells, but starting this morning, the well water dropped rapidly. Not long ago, the well water in several wells was exhausted."

"In one day, the well water will be exhausted?" Dingwu was stunned for a moment, and he also felt that the matter was extremely strange and his eyebrows were locked.

Of course this is a strange phenomenon, and the signs are already very bad.

Xuanyuan Shao was also a little surprised and asked the Shenyiwei, "But someone deliberately destroys it in the city?"

He naturally remembered that Mrs. Liuli's disciples of Ganxin Sect may still be in the city now, and these people are incompatible with Qin State. Now it is an extraordinary time. Perhaps these disciples of the Xin Sect are already acting secretly, deliberately destroying the facilities in the city, making the already chaotic Wuping City even more chaotic.

The Shenyiwei looked up and said, "We have sent people to search around the city, but the whereabouts of those people have not been found yet. If they want to destroy the well water, they may be able to poison the well, but they will never be able to pump the well water away. According to our investigation, the well water began to fall from this morning, and no one paid attention to it at the beginning, but the water level dropped very quickly. There was a well that someone saw with his own eyes that the well water sink to the bottom of the well!"

Xuanyuan Shao's lips moved, his eyebrows tightened even more. At this moment, he heard a burst of laughter. When he turned around, he saw that it was Dingwu who was laughing loudly.

"Master!"

"Xuanyuan, what do you think the well water is exhausted?" Dingwu asked Xuanyuan Shao with a smile.

When Xuanyuan Shao saw Dingwu's eyebrows stretching, he had not figured it out yet. Naturally, he could not say that this was a warning of the astronomical phenomena, but a great ominous sign, indicating that there were many dangers in Wuping City.

"Sudden Shi will soon be siegeing the city. If it is not out today and tomorrow, they will swarm in." Dingwu quickly smiled and said coldly: "I just said that I will not let the people wait too long, maybe!" He did not continue, but stood up, walked slowly to the door of the hall, carried his hands on his back, and looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky was a little drizzled. Although it was still a while before dusk, the winter in the north was the daytime night. Before dusk was dusk, the sky was already a little dark. Xuanyuan Shao followed Dingwu and only then heard Dingwu continue, "Maybe this is their last attack."

"The Master said that this is their last attack?" Xuanyuan Shao asked.

Dingwu sneered on his lips and asked without answering, "Xuanyuan, have you not figured out why the wells in the city are exhausted?"

"I'll ask the Lord to make it clear!"

"That's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." Dingwu said slowly: "But it's not someone who destroys it in the city. If I'm not wrong, it's the method of the barbarians."

"Barrien?"

Dingwu glanced at Xuanyuan Shao: "Since the last time the Yi Barbarians failed to attack, they have not been launching an attack, and they have been making siege weapons outside the city. I thought they were waiting for the siege weapons to be made and then concentrated their forces to launch an attack. Now it seems that these Yi Barbarians are also cunning. They deliberately used the siege weapons to attract our attention, but behind them is a huge conspiracy."

Xuanyuan Shao kept frowning and thinking, his body suddenly shook, as if he had just woken up, and said in a deep voice: "Master, are they going to dig for the tunnel?"

"Not bad." Dingwudao: "I am creating siege weapons on the verge of the city in secret, but I have sent people to dig tunnels in secret, wanting to steal from the underground into the city. At that time, they will enter the city from the tunnel while we are guarding the city. In this way, we will naturally be unable to resist it."

After all, Xuanyuan Shao is also an extremely smart person and has already understood the strangeness: "They have dug through the city wall, but dug through the underground water source, which has led to the drop of the well water or even exhausted!"

Dingwu sneered: "Fortunately, the well water was exhausted to remind us, otherwise I really didn't expect them to use this move. Chushi had even thought of this move, and this attack would definitely be all-out. The Yiman coalition is a tribal coalition. I guess that the previous siege would fail, and there would definitely be conflicts between the various barbarian tribes. They had lost troops and generals, and the logistics was short of logistics, so it would not be possible to hold on for too long. If this siege failed, even if Chushi wanted to continue, other tribes would not continue to waste with him. So as long as they could defend this time, Wuping Prefecture City could temporarily be safe."

Xuanyuan Shao nodded slightly, but there was no joy at all.

He knew very well that if this time was really the last attack of the Yi Barbarians, then this attack would be the last attempt of the opponent. They were unwilling to withdraw their troops and would launch the last round of offensive at any cost, and this last round of offensive would be unprecedentedly fierce.

"Sage, the barbarians dig out the tunnels. Now I will take people to find out where the tunnels are!"

Dingwu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, now you're alerting the snake, you might make a sudden change of plan. Since they want to have a last try, I will play with them this last time." He said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zishu!"

The Divine Uniform Guard was indeed a hundred household Zhao Zishu, and immediately said: "I am here!"

"You should take people to collect water tanks in the city now, and then bury half a piece of it under the base of the city wall, with the steel mouth facing up. In this way, you can find out where the tunnel is located from the water tank." Dingwu said slowly: "If you find the tunnel, you will track where the tunnel leads to. If the barbarian army attacks the city tonight, they will inevitably sneak into the city from the tunnel. You arrange personnel and let these barbarian soldiers come and go."

Zhao Zishu bowed and said, "I understand!" The Divine Yiwei is naturally very adept at dealing with such things. Needless to mention the way to deal with Dingwu, Zhao Zishu already had a plan in his mind.

Xuanyuan Shao was a little surprised: "The emperor knew this method."

Dingwu smiled and said, "Don't forget that I had fought with General Lei back then. I learned a lot from him!" Thinking that Lei Guheng had already died in battle, a trace of sadness flashed through his eyes.

Dingwu saw through the barbarians' tricks and suddenly used it, naturally he knew nothing. In his opinion, this move was unaware of it, and it was the killer move of this attack.

If siege weapons once gave him hope to break the city, now he has placed the greatest hope of breaking the city in several authentic tunnels.

Chu Shi is a man who is good at playing tricks. Although it is stipulated that the tunnel must be dug into the city within ten days, he has never tried such a method of siege. He is not sure whether it can really dig through the tunnel within ten days. Moreover, for him, if he spends one more day, not only will his morale be weaker, but he will also lose one point in food. The earlier he digs through the tunnel, the sooner the city can be broken.

Because of this, he issued an order to send many prisoners to excavate into more than a dozen teams, and at the same time digging tunnels in the direction of the city for more than ten days and day and night. In order to stimulate these prisoners to do their best, Shi Khan told these people who could dig the tunnel into the city first. Not only could all the prisoners who dig this tunnel be free, but they could also receive gold and silver rewards. If anyone was too slow and fell behind others, they would be executed.

Those who are fast can gain freedom and receive rewards, while those who are slow will be executed. The captives have no choice but to dig forward day and night.

Digging out tunnels is of course an extremely arduous task. In addition to someone exploring and digging in front, the excavated soil needs to be transported out of tunnels later. The tunnels should not only be deep, but also as spacious as possible. There are all kinds of talents among the prisoners. In addition to craftsmen and carpenters, there are really some masters who know how to dig tunnels. These people, under the sudden reward, also entered the tunnel to command for their own lives.

Among the prisoners, more and more people starved to death. Fortunately, the sudden injection required some manpower to make siege weapons, cut down and transport timber, and a large number of people also needed to hand-draft underground passages, so a part of them was allocated from the already small grain, so some prisoners could barely survive.

However, in addition to the strong men, there were many eunuchs and palace maids. The barbarians selected strong people to stay and continue to work hard, but almost all the eunuchs and palace maids had starved to death, and many of them were tortured to death by the barbarians.

However, the progress of the tunnel was beyond the expectation. He thought that it would take at least ten days or even longer to dig the city, but before ten days had arrived, he had already received news that two of the tunnels had been dug into the city.

The foundation of the Wuping Fucheng city wall is very deep. When the tunnel was dug to the city, it hit the foundation of the city wall. It was solid and solid, so it was naturally impossible to pass through. I could only continue digging down and digging out a U-shaped tunnel to avoid the foundation of the city wall. But it was precisely because I hit the foundation of the city wall that they knew their excavation progress.

Shishen suddenly learned that the tunnel had been dug through, so he was naturally overjoyed.

This time he was not impatient. He couldn't wait to make a part of the siege weapon last time, so he suffered a great loss.

With the lessons learned from the past, Shi Shi was much calmer this time.

This is also because he knew the fact that no matter whether success or failure, this would be his last chance. Once the city was successfully broken, he would naturally become famous all over the world. However, once he failed, the Yiman tribes would never give him a second chance.

The last time the siege failed, the tribes had a dispute. Many tribes wanted to withdraw their troops and return to the grassland. They suddenly tried to suppress them, but they could only promise to launch the last attack. If the attack could not break the city, they could only withdraw their troops.

Because of this, the last chance is naturally very cherished. If you don’t dare to launch an offensive easily, you will never dare to launch an offensive easily until the best time is right.
