The Era of Generals

The tunnel is not too wide, it can barely accommodate four people walking side by side.

Under the illumination of a large number of torches, the originally dark tunnel was illuminated like daytime. Walking in it, apart from feeling a little oppressive, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Chen Ze walked in the forefront, and from time to time, he found small red flags in front of him that were planted on the ground or nailed into the mountain wall.

Li Quanan, who was attached to Cheng Yu, took the opportunity to open the way with insight. All the untouchable places in the tunnel were carefully marked. Even when he encountered a fork in the road, Li Quanan also drew arrows on the ground to point Chen Ze. Give directions.

With Cheng Yu around, the cobweb-dense defensive tunnels can't play its due role, and it's a surprise that his general skill can be used as a radar envoy.

Every time he found a small red flag, Chen Ze would carefully order the soldiers to pass down the order to make the people behind pay attention to avoid it.

This matter is related to the lives of everyone present, so everyone can't help but be cautious. When the soldiers saw the little red flag, it was like seeing the source of the plague. They were afraid to avoid it. No one dared to challenge themselves. drama code.

Even if there was a fool, he would have been crushed to death by his companions on the ground long ago.

Moving forward in this way, although the team of 30,000 people was stretched very long, it was in an orderly manner, moving silently through the intertwined tunnels, and the speed was not slow.

Chen Ze unfolded the map in his mind as he walked, observing the movements of Li Quanan, who was invisible in front of him, at any time. At the same time, the terrain in the defensive tunnel slowly revealed the whole picture due to Li Quanan's movement.

What surprised Chen Ze even more was that the map was still stereoscopic. On the way they passed, blue dots representing the enemy flashed from time to time. Every map turns blue with lots of blue dots.

Chen Ze knew that Zhu Yan's army was on the ground where they must be passing by, but he didn't expect that the tunnel was dug so far.

After wandering around in the tunnel for almost four hours, he even stopped for a rest in the middle. Just when everyone started to feel dizzy, Chen Ze finally saw the little red dot representing Li Quanan on the map stop. down.

Looking at it now, they are already extremely far away from Bo'an City, probably more than twenty miles away.

And even though the road was winding and twisting, the route was far away from Bo'an City, directly passed through the place where Zhu Yan's army camped in the middle, and walked to the rear of the enemy army in the opposite direction.

From the map, the place where Li Quanan stopped should be a small lake. On the ground above his head, there were no longer blue dots.

There are lakes but no one, could it be...

Chen Ze thought for a while, and saw that there was no red flag warning here, so he simply explained, hurried a few steps, and ran over with a torch.

Not far away, he saw Li Quan'an standing alone in front of a mountain wall with his back facing Chen Ze, and when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned his head, as if he knew it was Chen Ze, and bowed slightly: "My lord , there is no way ahead."

"No way?"

Chen Ze raised his eyebrows, but he heard the faint sound of water, and after walking a few steps, he saw the sparkling water reflected on the mountain wall behind Li Quanan.

"My lord will know it at a glance."

Li Quanan also waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

When Chen Ze saw it, he immediately understood why there was no way out.

The place where Li Quan'an was standing was indeed the end of the road, but there was a pothole at his feet. Looking into the cave, the sound of water was coming from the pothole.

"How could it be water?"

Chen Ze frowned.

He knew that there was a small lake outside the passage, but the exit was blocked by the current, could it be that...

"Are you sure this is the exit?"

In fact, there is no need to ask Li Quanan, Chen Ze can confirm it just from the map.

Apart from here, the map didn't show any other passages, and there was only one way when they walked around here.

Only then did Chen Ze realize that he had neglected to ask Zheng Yuanyun about the defensive tunnel.

Although there is no map for the defensive tunnel, it is also a life channel for the high-level people in the city to escape. Others don't know the details of the tunnel, but Zheng Yuanyun will definitely know.

But at that time, he had too many issues to consider, and Zheng Yuanyun was not a good person to get along with, so he forgot about it after coming and going.

Unexpectedly, what happened to be ignored became his immediate problem.

Li Quanan shook his head slightly, answering Chen Ze's question.

"There's nothing special here, and I can't see the problem."

At the end he added another sentence.

Insight into the opportunity can see the weakness, so Li Quanan can find the hidden support point, but he has nothing to do with this stagnant water.

Chen Ze thought for a while, knocked on the surrounding mountain walls, but found nothing.

"Looks like you'll have to get in the water."

In the end, his eyes still fell on the pool.

This exit will not create a pool of water for no reason, it is estimated that the key lies in the bottom of the water.

He also did it when he thought of it, and he was about to jump immediately, but Li Quanan grabbed him and said anxiously: "My lord, why do you put yourself in danger?"

"Is... all right?"

Chen Ze smiled wryly, but Li Quan'an just refused to let him go, as if he was afraid that he would run away when he was not prepared, and kept holding on desperately until the soldiers behind came.

In the end, the scout Chen Ming took the job, tied a rope around his body, and jumped into the water.

After a moment of silence, he popped his head out of the water, took a deep breath, and rushed to Chen Ze and the others who were watching from above, "Master, this is really an exit!"

Everyone pulled him up together, and Chen Ming lay on the ground wet all over, and drew a sketch from memory.

Chen Ze just glanced at it and suddenly understood.

No wonder this defensive tunnel is allowed to go out but not to enter, it turns out that the key is here.

They are indeed near a lake right now, and they are actually at the bottom of the lake.

The sketch drawn by Chen Ming on the ground looks like a crooked S-shape, and this pool is the top of this horizontal S-shape. From here, one needs to go through a short curved waterway before diving into the water, and then go straight up all the way. Rising from the bottom to the surface of the lake.

The underwater passage was dug extremely deep. According to what Chen Ming said, it happened to be just above the limit of ordinary people holding their breath. Most of them can float up directly with a little patience.

Moreover, people can float up at the bottom of the water, but if someone wants to dive into the underwater passage, due to the buoyancy of the water, the speed of diving must not be as fast as the speed of rising, and it is difficult for someone to persist until diving in.

Even if there are, there are definitely not many, and it is difficult to form a climate.

What's more, it seems that the passage at the bottom of the lake has not been discovered by the Zhu Yan Empire, and there is no blue light spot on the map that Chen Ze has been paying attention to.
