After xilinbey failed to persuade him to surrender, at the beginning, LAN gley pointed the attack at the north of Ackerman City, that is, the only direction towards land.
From the north, the Crimean army can attack the front more broadly. At the same time, the soil on this side is deeper and drier, which is also more conducive to geotechnical operation.
As a result, the large-scale war began to stop. At the beginning, relying on deep manpower, LAN gley allocated thousands of people at one time and began to dig tunnels under the cover of trenches.
The defenders in the city soon found that the enemies outside the city were digging tunnels. This frightened Muhammad graii and bayazid Khan.
Digging tunnels to attack the city is a Crimean specialty. Mohamed gley and bayazid Khan have repeatedly used this means to break through the strongholds and fortresses of Czar Russia and the Republic of Poland in the past battles. Now, at the beginning, LAN gley used the same method to Ackerman. They don''t know how to defend.
Almost instinctively, Muhammad gray sent for Christina.
The servant sent back soon. He told Khan that Chris would be there soon. In addition, the servant brought back a situation he had seen with his own eyes: corzon was commanding our soldiers to dig tunnels in the city.
Muhammad gley didn''t know much about this news, because he had worked with the mercenary regiment for so long. He was convinced that Christina must have done it for a reason and probably to destroy the enemy''s tunnels. Khabayezid Khan was startled. Although he was vaguely aware that the mercenary regiment dug the tunnel to destroy the tunnel of the beginning LAN Glei army outside the city, bayazid Khan was still worried. He was worried that the defenders would dig indiscriminately without knowing the location of the enemy tunnel. In case the soil under the wall was hollowed out and the wall collapsed, everything would be over.
Therefore, before Christina arrived at the Khan palace, bayazid Khan, who was worried, sent six waves of messengers one after another to ask Christina to stop digging. Finally, the messengers even met Christina as soon as they walked out of the door.
When Christina walked into the hall, bayazid Khan, who had already jumped in a hurry, grabbed Christina''s hand.
He said anxiously, "Allah is great! Mr. Chris, please stop digging, or you will dig down the wall."
Christina pulled out the hand that bayazid Khan had grabbed.
She first smiled at bayazid Khan with relief, and then said, "Khan, don''t worry. I didn''t dig until I determined the location of the enemy tunnel."
"You know?!"
Bayazid Khan blinked.
"Captain Chris, how do you know? Did your God tell you?"
"Exactly!" Chris said with a smile. "Khan and bayazid Khan, please go to the wall to see a good play tomorrow night."
The next night, Muhammad gley and bayazid Khan arrived as promised, accompanied by ahhun Mirza.
The night is bright tonight, and the wind blowing from the sea has a trace of coolness. Under the city wall, bayazid Khan saw more than 50 soldiers of the mercenary regiment gathered in front of the five dark holes. They were wearing armor, holding sharp swords and pistols, and were ready to fight at any time.
Bayazid Khan also noticed that a bucket of water was placed at intervals on the ground near the city wall. The water surface of several buckets of water reflected the moonlight and was rippling, and several tunnel openings were just in front of these buckets of water.
Bayazid Khan seems to have realized something. It seems that commander Chris relied on the water in these buckets to judge the location of the enemy''s tunnel outside the city.
When they climbed the wall, Christina had been waiting in the tower for a long time. She was dressed in a long light aristocratic chain armour and a scarlet cloak, standing like a poplar tree.
Bayazid Khan asked whether his judgment on the role of the bucket was correct. Christina smiled and said, "Khan, your wisdom is as broad as the sea."
Bayazid Khan was elated when he saw that his judgment was indeed correct. At this time, ah Hun mi''er asked Christina, "commander Chris, can we start?"
"No hurry," said Christina.
"Ah?" ah''er Hun said, as if we were a little surprised.
After a while, Christina went to the inner wall. She shouted to Colson below, "start."
After this order was given, the soldiers of the mercenary regiment brought bundles of dry firewood one after another, lit it and threw it into the tunnel.
Ah Hun mi''er was stunned. Christina didn''t say that to him during the day yesterday.
"Commander Chris, are you here?" ah Hun mi''er asked rashly with some trembling in our fingers. Hun forgot that the two sweats were still beside him and didn''t have his share of speech.
Sure enough, ah Hun mi''er''s rashness aroused their ideas. Muhammad gley and bayazid Khan looked at ah Hun mi''er and Christina suspiciously.
"I have to thank you, ah erhun, for reminding me. Now our soldiers are precious. If we can use fire to kill the enemy in the tunnel, why should we send soldiers down? Even if our soldiers have obvious advantages over those slave soldiers who are not connected, they will be injured and killed after all, won''t they?"
Christina praised ah Hun mi''er us in front of the two Khan, as if she had come up with a fire attack. All is the credit of ah Hun mi''er us.
"Yes, yes," said ah Hun mi''er with an ugly smile.
While talking, strong black smoke had filled all the tunnels. In the enemy camp outside the city, many stumbled people jumped out of several huge tents, and the thick smoke from the tunnel was particularly clear under the transparent candlelight that illuminated the tent curtain.
"Well done! My damn brother should not be able to sleep all night!" said Muhammad gley excitedly.
Then he said to Christina, "commander Chris, it''s really hard for you tonight."
"It''s just a small thing," Christina said.
Until the dry firewood at the entrance of the tunnel was burned up, Muhammad gley and bayazid Khan walked down the tower with satisfaction. Ah Hun mi''er, we stayed because Christina said she had something to tell him.
Ah Hun mi''er looked at Christina nervously. Several times, his hand raised and fell slightly.
After a while, Colson went up the tower. He whispered a few words in Christina''s ear, and then stood behind Christina.
Christina smiled and looked at ah Hun mi''er. She looked like a wise pearl in her hand.
"Tell me, Lord arhun," said Christina.
