Jia Xu sent someone to remind the three city gates to be vigilant, and then began to think about it.

He felt that the enemy troops outside the city were definitely bluffing. At this moment, they must be moving elsewhere and trying to break through the city. What would they do?

There was no movement in the other three gates. Could it be that the tunnel tactics were used?

As soon as he thought of this, Jia Xu immediately affirmed his judgment. Because as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no possibility except for authentic tactics.

The main enemy troops bluffed outside the city, which means that this tunnel should have existed long ago and they can use it immediately, otherwise it would not have been the case.

Jia Xu became anxious and immediately wanted to split the army to search in the city. But as soon as this idea appeared, he rejected it himself.

Because Antioch's city is huge, he has insufficient troops and has to guard against the main enemy forces outside the city. He can't even divide the number of troops to search the city. It is impossible to find the entrance to the tunnel before the opponent breaks into the city.

Jia Xu frowned and murmured, "Where will that tunnel be?"

What Jia Xu immediately thought of was the former Grand Marshal's Mansion, which is the current Protectorate Mansion. It was the location of Monica's mansion back then. The most likely place to be the entrance to the tunnel, and there is no doubt that it is there.

At this moment, Boqi had led three thousand elite troops to quickly come to the city along the tunnel. The distance between the two entrances was about four miles, and Boqi and the others only needed about two quarters of an hour to enter the city.

Several Roman soldiers led the way in front of them with torches. Boqi bent over and walked behind them. An officer following him couldn't help but ask, "General, are we going to the Grand Marshal's Mansion of His Majesty back then?"

Boqi shook his head and said, "No. It's too far, so His Majesty gave up his plan to dig tunnels from the Grand Marshal's Mansion. What we are going to is another mansion belonging to His Majesty. It is near the West City Gate."

The team was moving forward in the tunnel and soon reached the end. The soldier with a torch in the front turned around and said to Boqi: "General, it's over."

Boqi walked forward, looked up at the flip board illuminated by fire just a few feet above, and said, "It's here. You guys go up first."

Several officers and soldiers immediately climbed upwards along the wooden staircase at the exit. The officer walking in the front reached out and pushed the overturning board, and moved the board.

The soldier immediately pushed the board hard and lifted it open.

He first poked his head out to observe the situation outside, but saw that there was darkness and silence around the exit, and there was no abnormality. He immediately jumped out, then turned around and said to the cave, "Safe, come out quickly."

The people behind came out one after another, Boqi pressed the ground with both hands and supported him hard, and the whole person rushed out of the hole.

Standing by the entrance of the cave, looking around, I was very excited to see that there was indeed nothing unusual around me. At this time, the officers and soldiers behind were coming out continuously. In a while, more than a hundred people had gathered near the entrance.

Boqi said to an officer beside him: "You, take someone to the door to watch and report any situation immediately."

The officer shouted and immediately called his five subordinates to run towards the door.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish...! A sharp sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air suddenly came from all directions.

The Roman officers and soldiers in the yard were stunned. Before they could react, many officers and soldiers were shot down by arrows. The officer walking towards the door and the five soldiers under him were almost shot over by flying arrows!

The screams sounded in an instant!

The Roman officers and soldiers finally reacted and exclaimed, the sudden ambush was completely beyond their expectations.

"Not good! The enemy knows we are coming!" Boqi shouted.

At this moment, countless black shadows appeared in all directions, holding crossbows to shoot at the Roman army in the encirclement.

Arrows flew around in the air, like countless locusts, which made the Roman officers and soldiers fall from place to place. The Roman army, which was caught off guard, had no way to resist and they all screamed and fell to the ground!

"Retreat! Retreat!..." Bo Qi roared anxiously, and ran towards the entrance of the cave. At this moment, an arrow suddenly flew in the darkness, hitting Bo Qi's back. Bo Qi didn't care about screaming, and accelerated his pace and rushed to the entrance of the cave and jumped in.

The other officers and soldiers were shot in a hurry while running, and they were shot into the entrance of the cave, in a very embarrassing manner.

The elites who had not had time to get out of the tunnel were frightened to see this scene and quickly retreated backwards. However, the space in the tunnel was crowded, and in an instant, many people were crowded into a group and were extremely moved.

Jia Xu led a team of Han troops to the entrance of the cave, and the Han troops raised their crossbows to aim at the entrance of the cave, ready to go.

Jia Xu looked into the cave. Although he couldn't see anything, he could hear the chaotic sounds coming from it.

Jia Xu smiled coldly and waved his hand. Even after dozens of Han soldiers lit bundles of firewood and threw them into the entrance of the cave, the smoke suddenly rose up.

Immediately afterwards, a Han army officer brought a large wooden plate and covered it at the entrance of the cave. The thick smoke that was gushing out was immediately suppressed.

Then the Han soldiers picked up shovels and shovels, dug up a large amount of soil to cover the wooden boards. A trace of smoke penetrated out just now, and nothing was seen at this moment.

The thick smoke could not be released from the exit, so it rushed into the tunnel. Almost instantly, the tunnel near the entrance of the cave was filled with thick smoke.

The Roman officers and soldiers who were smoked by the thick smoke coughed violently, and they felt their lungs were blocked. While they were in great pain, fear could not help but surged into their hearts.

People hurriedly ran backward, hoping to escape from here quickly. The people who were blocked from the road roared angrily, and the coughing and roaring sounds intertwined, turning the entire tunnel into hell.

Outside, an officer rushed to Monica and reported with a panic look on his face: "No, no, General Boqi and his team failed to attack! They all want, they are going to die!"

Monica and everyone around her suddenly heard this, and their faces changed drastically, looking unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, look!" someone exclaimed at the birch forest.

Monica and others immediately looked at the birch forest and saw a huge pillar of smoke rushing straight to the night sky, which looked very strange under the bright moonlight.

Monica's face changed drastically, and she immediately rushed to the birch forest.

When I arrived at the exit, I heard a cough that was extremely painful. At the same time, I saw many officers and soldiers climbing up from the hole. Some people were exhausted after climbing out of the hole, and some people failed to climb out of the hole and fell back.

The sorrow and the stunning cough made the birch forest as terrifying as hell.

Monica reacted and shouted anxiously: "Save people quickly!"

The officers and soldiers then reacted and rushed forward and pulled the person out of the hole. Unexpectedly, after inhaling the smoke that gushed out of the hole, many people also coughed violently and felt in pain, causing the Roman officers and soldiers behind to retreat, shocked and doubtful.
