Chapter 100 The skinny camel is bigger than the horse
After the three legions finally realized the status quo and lowered their expectations, the next step was to attack endlessly.
In any case, compared to the individual quality, the three legions are still better than the Gray-Clothed Army. What Barlow and the others have to do now is to eliminate as many Gray-Clothed Army soldiers as possible in the remaining time, so as to achieve the expected goal.
Just as the soldiers on both sides were fighting fiercely across a hundred miles, Tang En and the others were also working hard to do the work of ground rats...
The mine is towering and it is really hard to cross if it is climbing. At the same time, its area is also very vast. If you walk normally next to it, it will take at least half a day to cross. As for digging, well, it will take about three days. Note that this is in a smooth situation. If there are too many parts to be excavated, it will be hard to say...
Tang En and the others were not very lucky. After successfully passing the hole and bypassing the rock granite, they walked for a while and suddenly found that there was no way ahead. Of course, this was not the problem of Old Bill's leading the way, but the collapse of this section. In this case, detouring will only waste time, and they can only grit their teeth and open a passage.
Of course, you will encounter hard things such as stones and minerals. Tang En and others can move them whenever they can. If they cannot move them, they will use the fighting spirit to force them to break them. Of course, if you are unlucky to encounter things like rock granite, the hard work of those few hours will be completely in vain, and you can only open another channel...
In this process of digging and stopping, Tang En and the others stayed underground for about two days. At this time, they also began to face the biggest test - food problem!
The underground is no better than other people, and there is almost no channel to obtain food. Only when you are lucky can you find some broken plant roots during the tunnel digging process. This is the lunch for everyone a day. Of course, after being divided into hundreds of portions, it is almost nothing! If a person does not eat anything for a long time, the twitching nymphs in his body will make you crazy. People in this situation are not rational, and some soldiers start to swallow the soil and stones. Of course, this thing is not food, but it can give people the illusion, well, it seems to be full...
Of course, the consequences of this can be predicted. Some soldiers began to vomit, have fever, and lose their ability to move that day... At this point, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and these sick people were only abandoned here.
At this time, food causes not only hunger. Some people with fragile minds will lose their fighting spirit. They may lie on the ground like dead dogs. They will not be able to get up by beating or scolding them. Or they may simply go crazy and want to kill people by snatching their swords.
For the latter, Tang En's method of handling it was extremely cruel. He tied the other party up, instilled blood, and then called everyone to listen to him wailing and wailing... The fear of death overwhelms everything. What is more fearful than death is to beg for death. Those who are unwilling to work shivered and climbed up directly from the ground.
"You can choose to die, but don't think of dying quietly!" Tang En said so. In this situation, he does not allow any situation that will cause chaos!
The screams kept echoing in the passage and in the tunnel, waiting for them to stay away from here. They seemed to echo in their ears... This trick did scare everyone, and the situation temporarily returned to stability. But on the afternoon of the third day, something happened again...
"Boss, it seems that there is one soldier missing." Mishe walked over with a frown. His luck was the best among the members of the gray space. After more than ten days of chasing and fighting, he was almost not injured. Therefore, he was also responsible for the task of surveillance soldiers.
"One missing?" Tang En asked in surprise.
"Yes. I felt less this morning... But I was digging a tunnel at that time, so I didn't confirm it. Later, during lunch, I counted and found that one was missing!" Mishe said in a affirmative tone.
Tang nodded, then narrowed his eyes: "Let everyone gather!"
"yes!"
In the narrow passage, all the pale-faced soldiers were crowded together, while Frey and the others were on guard.
Tang En glanced around. Before, they captured more than seventy soldiers, and several of them died by ingesting things. He killed one by himself. The remaining one was probably more than sixty. Such people were missing one or two in such a dim environment. I am afraid that only Mixiu, who is born with a delicate mind, can detect it.
Tang En said straight to the point: "There are few people among you, can anyone tell me where he is now?"
...The soldiers were silent.
"Haha, you probably don't know." Tang En shrugged and curled his lips, "You have known each other before, and now you are together day and night. Well, don't insult my IQ."
The soldiers looked at each other but said nothing.
Tsk tsk... Tang En smacked his lips, stepped forward, and swept through everyone's eyes.
Taking Tang En's ruthless tricks before, these soldiers didn't dare to look at him. They almost all looked at him and quickly lowered their heads.
"Well, you are the only one!" Tang En suddenly reached out and patted a soldier on the shoulder twice, and said with a smile. The fearful and fearful look is different from having a heart.
The soldier's body was so weak that he almost fell down by Tang En's slap.
"Be careful, stand firm, come, come!" Tang En walked out with his arms around the soldier.
"It's not me, it's not me!" the soldier said in panic.
"Uh, very good. So he wasn't missing or running away." Tang En nodded clearly and then said, "So, who did it? Where is he now?"
When the soldier knew that he had said the wrong thing, his face turned pale and his whole body shook his head.
"Well, although I'm embarrassed to admit it, my method of forcing confession is really powerful. Do you want to see it?"
The soldier's head shook more diligently, and he was stuttering in his mouth. He didn't know what he was saying.
"Highlight!" Tang En suddenly shouted!
"It's the captain!" The soldier was shocked and blurted out. Then he opened his mouth blankly, his face full of despair.
"Well, very good, very good!" Tang En patted the soldier and praised with a smile, then looked up at everyone, "So, who is that captain?"
He locked the target along the movement of several people. This was a strong man with a strong body. Although he was hungry these days, he could see that he was still in good spirits.
Seeing Tang En looking at him with a steady look, the strong man looked a little floating, turned his head and snorted, pushed away the soldier in front of him, and walked out strode.
"Well, the courage is commendable, that's right." Tang En nodded and then said, "Will you tell that person where is right?"
The strong man ignored Tang En, but turned back and shouted, "What are you waiting for!"
Wow, wow, wow...
The strongest men with a dozen of the strongest bodies walked out and their faces were full of ferociousness. Frey and others immediately surrounded him nervously.
Tang En waved his hand, stopped their actions, looked up and squinted at the strong man: "To be honest, I just had some guesses before, but now I'm finally sure. Haha, it's a pity that you can do it... Well, but I'm still a little curious. What's the reason for you doing this? Can you go out alive?"
The strong man said with disdain, "Of course not, but mine is definitely OK."
"Haha, too!" Tang En thought for a while and nodded, "You may be able to go out if you do this, but it's only a dozen of you, or even fewer..."
David and the others looked at each other and were a little confused. However, Frey and Tyton seemed to understand something, and their faces changed slightly.
"Haha, you don't need to be able to get rid of the enemy." The strong man raised his head and laughed, "As long as you have about thirty people as food, it will definitely be enough for us to go out."
Uh, food...we are food? Hiss-
David and others suddenly realized, then gasped, and their stomachs rolled, which means there was nothing to vomit, otherwise they would definitely vomit! Some of the remaining soldiers seemed to have no idea about this. After understanding what the strong man said, they couldn't help but take a few big steps back and their faces were full of bitterness.
Wow……
Finally, some people couldn't stand it and started vomiting sour water. It was the senior management of the mines such as Fleck. They lived in poverty for so many years, and they might have heard of news like cannibalism, but when this happened to them, they still couldn't bear it.
"Things are not as simple as you think. Forget it, you don't understand if you say it!" Tang En raised his eyebrows and continued, "Anyway, are you trying to rebel now?"
"Not bad!" The strong man grinned, "Hehe, you haven't eaten for a few days and you have no strength in your hands and feet. How can you fight us?"
Speaking of this, the strong man turned to the soldiers and said, "Brothers, follow me and you'll turn your back. As long as you eat them, we can definitely dig it out!"
Those soldiers looked at me, and I looked at you, their eyes were a little complicated, but no one responded for a while. It was true that they hated Tang En and others, but relatively speaking, the captain who even eats his own people seemed to be even more unreliable...
"Hey, are you so confident?" Tang En touched his nose, "Have you ever heard of a lean camel bigger than a horse?"
At this time, the modern saying was naturally unaware of the strong man.
Tang En shook his head helplessly: "Oh, it's really terrible to be uneducated!"
After saying that, his figure flashed twice like a ghost, ignoring the distance between the two feet and heading straight to the strong man.
"Do it!" The strong man was shocked. After roaring, he flipped his right arm back and a cold light slashed at Tang En's chest. It was half a battle knife, but the thick blade had been polished out, like a dagger.
However, before the half of the sword was handed out, the strong man felt a pain in his hand, and then the front was grabbed and his body flew out.
Bang! Bang!
First, he hit the wall of the passage, and then fell heavily to the ground. The strong man was dizzy for a moment and couldn't recover.
Tang En picked up the half sword and glanced at it, then took a few steps forward, leaning forward: "Don't think you can be arrogant after eating two taels of meat! Don't you know if others will be jealous? Ah?"
Hiss - Half of the battle knife raised, bringing up a string of blood beads!
