"Lord, the soldiers guarding the camp were shot and killed again last night!" In the Yuan camp, Feng Ji came to Yuan Shao with a heavy expression and said in a stern voice: "Now the soldiers in the camp are very resistant to guarding the village wall, and their morale is even lower."

"Didn't you let the baffle be raised? Why do people die??" Yuan Shao asked sternly after hearing this. Hearing this, anger flashed in his eyes.

Three days have passed since Yuan Hanrong sought revenge. In these three days, Liu Xie did not launch a large-scale attack, but the Divine Crossbow Camp would come to visit every night.

During these three days, Yuan Shao sent people to ambush and try to encircle the crossbowman. However, although the number of people in the Divine Crossbow Camp is not large, it is extremely slippery. As long as there are places where there may be ambushing around, it will never approach easily. Even if you want to get close, you will first send a crossbow arrow and then quickly occupy the favorable terrain. Once the ambush appears, you will retreat without hesitation and use the method of dealing with Han Qiong on the same day to grind the enemy to death bit by bit.

In the end, Yuan Shao could only strengthen his defense and ordered people to set up partitions on the village wall, so that the Shennuan Camp could not see the people inside the village wall, while the soldiers on the village wall could see clearly the situation outside the camp through the look hole.

"The enemy's crossbow is too sharp, and the partition is only one finger thick. The court's crossbow can easily penetrate at a distance of hundreds of steps. However, our archers cannot shoot arrows to hundreds of steps because of the partition." Feng Ji smiled bitterly. He offered the plan for the partition, but now he feels like shooting himself in the foot.

Because of the partition, the archer can only shoot on the village wall. Although the shooting can increase the range of killing of the archer, the shooting range will be reduced, so naturally he can't do anything to the soldiers of the Divine Crossbow Camp who are a hundred steps away.

"What should I do now? After three days of cultivation, not only has the morale not recovered, but it has become lower." Yuan Shao said angrily: "Can I continue to cultivate? What I am afraid of is that if we cultivate for a few more days, our soldiers will probably collapse completely! There is no need to fight this battle."

Over the past three days, there were almost 6,000 casualties. Not only did they lose a general like Han Qiong, the most important thing was that they didn’t even get a single hair from the other party. The casualties fell second, and the most important thing was the blow to morale.

"Lord, it's not a solution to hold on like this. I have a plan, which may be of some use." Shen Pei bowed.

"Oh?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Shen Pei and said, "What's the trick Zhengnan has? Come on."

"Do you still remember Li Zhi?" Shen Pei smiled.

"Li Zhi? That general of the Daozi Camp?" Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this, then suddenly realized, looked at Shen Pei and said, "Zhengnan said..."

"This person is proficient in Yixue and is good at digging tunnels. He can order him to lead his subordinates to dig tunnels and go deep into the enemy camp." Shen Pei smiled.

"Inappropriate." Feng Ji frowned when he heard the words: "If it is excavated, what should be done with those earth and stones? With the court's keenness of intelligence, it will definitely find clues."

"You can build a land barrack outside the enemy camp, which is higher than the opponent's wall. Then the enemy camp will be in your eyes and you can shoot it with a crossbow!" Shen Pei said with a smile.

"This plan is very good!" Yuan Shao smiled when he heard this, "As far as Zhengnan said, he would invite Li Zhi to come and dig the soil and stones as soon as possible and build the soil and build the soil and build the morning of tomorrow. We must make the emperor look good!"

"Here!" Shen Pei bowed and agreed and quickly retreated.

That night, the soldiers of the Shennu Camp who sent to continue harassing Yuan Camp were blocked as soon as they left the camp. After learning that Yuan Shao's army had touched outside the camp, Liu Xie was shocked and hurriedly brought people to the gate, but did not encounter Yuan's army's attack.

"What the hell?" Standing at the gate, under the dark night, ten steps away, it was pitch black. He could only see a hundred steps away from the torches. Under the dark night, it was difficult to see clearly what the other party was doing.

In confusion, Liu Xie sent a battalion of troops to investigate. Soon after, he heard the sound of fighting outside the camp. In less than a quarter of an hour, the people who went to explore the camp had returned, and half of the troops in the battalion were left.

"Your Majesty, there are too many enemies, and there are Yuan troops nearby." The captain who went on the expedition neighed.

"Can you see clearly what the other party will do?" Liu Xie frowned.

"I saw clearly, the other party was piled up with soil." The captain said in a stern voice.

"Tulei?" Liu Xie was slightly stunned when he heard this, then reacted and sneered: "Ha, the old routine, ordered the soldiers of each battalion to guard the camp to prevent the enemy from sneak attacking, and let the people from the Military Industry Department come to me, and the rest of the generals go and rest."

"Here!" Although I didn't quite understand what the other party was doing, since Liu Xie said that it was okay, there should be no problem. They immediately bowed and left.

Guo Jia thought about it and did not leave, but followed Liu Xie back to the coach's tent.

"What else can I do if I worship the filial piety?" Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia in confusion.

"Your Majesty has already seen Yuan Jun's intentions?" Guo Jia did not answer, but asked back: "Can you solve the problem?"

"I don't know about Fengxiao?" Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia in confusion: "The accumulation of earth and burials naturally need to use the high ground to look down at our army's camp, and guard them with bows and arrows. Although our archers' range is better than the other party, it is not obvious. If you are condescending, you can suppress our archers. Therefore, I am planning to let the troop troopers of the Ministry of Works to make some changes, increase the range, and blow away the earth and bury them away! Yuan Shao's methods will naturally be defeated without attacking."

When Guo Jia heard this, his brows frowned even deeper: "I always feel that Yuan Shao is so arrogant, he may have other plans."

"Build a plank road openly to secretly cross Chencang?" Liu Xie narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

"Yes, but what is going on is unknown." Guo Jia nodded.

When Liu Xie heard this, he frowned and thought, but saw Xu Chu coming in outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Zhi, the master craftsman of the Ministry of Works, ask for a meeting."

"Let him come in." Liu Xie nodded.

Soon, Wu Zhi, a great craftsman, came in with the army. Seeing Liu Xie, he hurried forward and saluted: "See Your Majesty."

"No gifts." Liu Xie waved his hand and looked at Wu Zhi and said, "You can order someone to make some trenchers first. The range should be about 150 steps, so try to be more accurate."

"Here!" Wu Zhi hurriedly bowed his order, hesitated for a moment, but did not leave.

"What else?" Liu Xie turned his head, looked at Wu Zhi who had not left, and frowned.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, I have found something, but I don't know whether to speak or not." Wu Zhi bowed and said.

"Tell me!" Liu Xie took a deep breath and suppressed the irritability in his heart.

"Our Ministry of Works once imitated the seismo Zhang Heng's seismometer to make a simple version of the seismometer. In order to prevent disasters, my army and others brought a branch. Although they could not measure the direction correctly, they could also monitor the seismometer. However, although nothing happened not long ago, the seismometer responded." Wu Zhi bowed and said.

"Yuan Jun was digging soil and building a building outside, probably because of this, the seismometer reacted..." Liu Xie was stunned after he finished speaking.

Wu Zhi did not notice that Liu Xie's expression was wrong, and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this seismometer is buried deep underground, but the vibration on the surface cannot cause the seismometer to react. I am worried that someone is digging the tunnel."

Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia, but saw Guo Jia also looking over. The two of them had their eyes collided in the air, and they could see the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

Liu Xie thought for a while and looked at Wu Zhi and said, "Mr. Wu, with the ability of the Ministry of Works, if you want to dig an authentic tunnel at 150 steps outside the self-operation, how long will it take?"

Wu Zhi heard this and thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if you work hard, it will take three days. After all, only three or four people in front of you dig the tunnel. Even if you keep going day and night, a distance of 150 steps will probably take one day, let alone if you want to dig into our military camp, you still need to take ten more steps."

"Very good!" Liu Xie sneered: "In the past three days, in addition to the Ministry of Works to build a catapult, I will allocate another thousand people to you and dig a gully along the direction of the front wall. It does not need to be too wide, but it must be deep enough, at least two meters, and then order people to draw the river water into it!"

"Here!" Although Wu Zhi didn't understand the meaning, he still patted his chest and agreed. As long as there was enough manpower, there was no need for the Ministry of Works to do this.

Guo Jia's heart moved and looked at Liu Xie and said, "The enemy's army is built together, and the virtual and real camp is likely to be easily explored by Yuan's army."

Liu Xie nodded and smiled when he heard this: "Then use the partition to make a secret wall behind the village wall. It doesn't need to be too strong. As long as it can cover it and help it, it can also widen the village wall."

"I'll do it now." Wu Zhi agreed, quickly got up and left, and began to arrange for people to build a secret grid first, widen the width of the village wall, and block the enemy's sight.

The next morning, when the melodious trumpet broke the silence of dawn, outside the imperial camp, Yuan army had already built five earthen bulwarks that were more than two meters high. Across a distance of 150 steps, Yuan Shao, accompanied by several generals, stood on the earthen bulwarks and looked down at the Han army camp.

Looking at the extra platform behind the other party's village wall, Yuan Shao said with great enthusiasm: "No wonder the Han army camp is always so difficult to break. The width of this village wall is already as wide as that of ordinary city walls."

Tian Feng, Ju Su and others around him looked at the arrangement of the Han army camp and said in amazement: "The arrangement of the Han army camp is also quite particular, which is intimately combined with the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams and the Qimen Dunjia technique. If ordinary generals do not understand mathematics, they will easily lose their direction even if they kill in."

Ju Su smiled and looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Lord, if our army can break through the gate, we should build a higher platform. We can not only overlook the entire Han army camp, but also facilitate command."

"It's reasonable." Yuan Shao realized that he had won the opponent this time, and nodded with a smile: "Let Li Zhi do it, and he must do it before our army breaks the camp. Zhang He immediately ordered the archers to shoot and kill the enemy soldiers guarding me!"

For the past three days, they have been suppressed and beaten by the Divine Crossbow Camp. Not only Yuan Shao, but all Yuan's hearts were filled with anger. At this moment, they could finally be proud. Zhang He was not polite when he heard this. Although there were only five high platforms, he could start attacking. He ordered people to take turns to the high platform and start shooting arrows at the Han army camp.
