After some planning, Yang Rui and Xu You decided to put their plan into action. They stopped digging the tunnel to avoid attracting the attention of Yuan Shao's soldiers, which would ruin their plan.
Aside from that, Yang Rui's Underlings did not stop attacking the city. The Flying Pet Unit continued to drop aerial bombs throughout the day. As more and more Flying Pet Unit arrived, the army continued to grow.
The aerial bombs dropped by the Flying Pet Unit didn't pose much of a threat. Most of the aerial bombs were blocked by the protective barrier around the city walls, while the Yuan Shao's Defense Unit quickly dealt with the rest of the bombs.
Perhaps aerial bombs would only be effective against the NPC residences inside Lunu City. However, Yang Rui naturally wouldn't do that.
The number of siege vehicles continued to increase. Every time they attacked, they would inflict some damage to the soldiers defending Lunu City. On the other hand, Yang Rui's side suffered far fewer casualties.
As the number of assault vehicles increased, Yang Rui also directed the assault vehicles to different directions of Lunu City's city walls. This attracted more and more attention from Yuan Shao's army, dragging down more and more of Yuan Shao's attention.
This was exactly what Yang Rui wanted. The more he could distract the Yuan Shao's Defense Unit, the better. This would also allow him to carry out his plan for the tunnel.
The day passed quickly. After a short discussion with the Tracer Dragon Soul, Yang Rui arranged for Xu You to quietly widen the gap between the tunnel and Yuan Shao's tunnel. He even ordered the Imperial Warriors to personally enter the tunnel in order to enter the Lunu County City to investigate and determine the situation in the tunnel as well as the exit of the tunnel.
The reason why Yang Rui ordered the Imperial Guards to personally investigate the situation was because of Xu You's concerns.
According to Xu You's information, the situation inside the tunnel was very different from the outside world. There were two main limitations.
On the one hand, the space inside the tunnel was very narrow. Normally, only three to five people could pass through at the same time. In special areas, there might be narrow passages that restricted the passage. It could be said that one man could hold back ten thousand men. The Ethereal Ninja would have a hard time sneaking through these areas.
On the other hand, in the dark environment of the tunnel, the Ethereal Ninja's stealth wouldn't be very effective. This was because the tunnel was usually as dark as ink, and it wasn't suitable for lighting torches for long periods of time. Therefore, the Ethereal Ninja's stealth wouldn't be very effective.
This also meant that the Ethereal Ninja's stealth ability would be greatly reduced. The Ethereal Ninja could even use air fluctuations, sounds, smells, and other factors to determine the situation around him.
Of course, the Ethereal Ninja's stealth was not completely useless. It was just that his rank was relatively low, and his skill level was also lower than Yuan Shao's Dao Soldier's, so the chances of him being exposed were much higher.
If it was the Imperial Kensei, it would be the complete opposite. His Ninjutsu had reached a level that even Yang Rui would find difficult to detect. Whether it was light, darkness, airflow, sound, temperature, or other aspects, it was impossible for Yuan Shao's Kensei to detect.
Only then did Yang Rui listen to Xu You's suggestion and chose the Imperial Guards to investigate the situation inside the Lunu City. At the same time, the Ethereal Ninja beside Yang Rui transmitted the situation almost in real time to the Ethereal Ninja.
The Imperial Guards entered the tunnel at ten o 'clock in the evening. After they entered, Xu You quickly organized people to seal the gap again. This was to prevent Yuan Shao's Dao from discovering the abnormality.
Luckily, Xu You's Dao soldiers had broken through the gaps of Yuan Shao's Dao soldiers twice in a row without attracting the attention of the other party. It was probably because this place was rather far away from Lunu County City. Further away was a dead end that had not been broken through but was close to the surface. Therefore, very few soldiers came here.
At the same time, the gap that Xu You's Dao soldiers opened was at the top of the cave wall. In the dim environment inside the cave, even if someone came here, they might not be able to find the hole above their head. This was very different from the bottom of the cave or the cave wall.
At this time, in the civilization area of the Three Kingdoms and even in the entire game, if you only talk about the ability of stealth and detection, Imperial Kanebi, a historical Japanese Ninjutsu general, was second to none.
According to the real-time information sent back by the imperial guards, there weren't as many defensive measures as Xu You had guessed. It seemed that when Yuan Shao's troops dug the tunnel, the ice and snow might not have melted, and the frozen soil might be difficult to dig. Therefore, the tunnel was basically straight, and there weren't even any defensive checkpoints.
Of course, this method of digging the tunnel could also be a consideration for sending out troops. After all, the tunnel that Yuan Shao's troops dug led to the outside of the city. Their goal was to launch a sneak attack on the attacking army from the rear. Thus, the efficiency of passing through the tunnel was the most important consideration.
The diameter of the tunnel was basically the same. Under normal circumstances, it could allow four or five soldiers to pass through at the same time. This method of digging was mainly to ensure that the soldiers could pass through the tunnel quickly.
The Imperial Gallop Guards smoothly entered the Lunu County City, but the location of the exit exceeded their own, as well as Yang Rui and the others' guesses. It was actually in a private house near the city walls, completely connected to Yuan Shao's camp.
The layout of the tunnel could be said to be very hidden. It was probably to avoid the detection of Yang Rui's flying pets from the air. It was to prevent Yang Rui from getting the information when the soldiers were sent to attack the city from the tunnel. Therefore, they were prepared in advance.
After exiting the tunnel, Imperial Guards followed Yang Rui's instructions and went to a house to pass the information to the Dragon Soul players. He only told them the coordinates so that they would know the location of the tunnel's exit. After that, he ordered them to wait for orders to cover the siege troops from the inside and outside.
Imperial Guards brought along Dragon Soul's keepsake. At the same time, it answered the guesses of the players who contacted him about his identity. They didn't expect the other party to know about the existence of Imperial Guards. Therefore, the task of contact was completed smoothly.
After returning, Imperial Guards reported the information he received to Yang Rui, Guo Jia, Xu You and the others. At the same time, he also mentioned that the players who contacted him were able to guess his identity.
Yang Rui didn't care about this. Tracing back Dragon Soul's frequent contact with Yang Rui, they already knew about the existence of Imperial Guards. It wasn't strange for a player to be able to guess the identity of Imperial Guards. However, the players were still very concerned about Yang Rui's forces.
