The rat men are good at digging holes, but they are still one step behind the expert burrowing diamond ants. Hei Tou's IQ may only be as high as that of a three or four year old child, but thanks to his psychological communication with Shen Cong, his ability to understand commands is still very strong.
The next day, Shen Cong, who had recharged his energy, and under the leadership of Heitou, followed the underground tunnel dug by the diamond ants and quickly found the rat-man tunnel.
Scanning with his heavenly eye, he could see the tunnels extending in all directions.
There were many rat men coming and going in these tunnels, but Shen Cong was able to avoid them in advance, so he quietly entered the rat man cave. He only walked around the periphery of the Rat Man Cave and did not go to the central area. His purpose is to find the escape tunnel extending outwards of the rat men, so as to block the rat men's escape.
With the cooperation of the Diamond Ants, this work is progressing smoothly.
Throughout the day, Shen Cong discovered four tunnels leading outside Changxing County and marked the geographical coordinates. It took more than half of the night to figure out the approximate number of rat men.
In order to make sure it was correct, Shen Cong continued to search all night.
He actually discovered the fifth secret passage, which was eighty meters deep underground and extended eastward into Taihu Lake.
"The secret passage leading to Taihu Lake is so hidden. The Rat Man can actually swim. If he hadn't met me, the Rat King might have escaped." Shen Cong noted the location of the exit before leaving.
…
Not only Shen Cong is investigating the situation in Ratman City in Changxing County, but the Eastern War Zone is also investigating.
Baixian Township next to Meishan Town became the new combat headquarters. Shen Cong, Han Shoucheng and others combined the information they obtained and planned to destroy the rat city.
"According to our investigation in the past four days, the number of rat people is more than 130,000, the number of rat slaves is about 90,000, the number of rat soldiers is about 30,000, the rat generals are about 2,000, and the rat officer found 116. There are one thousand to two thousand rat beasts and more than two hundred mounts of various evolved beasts, but no trace of the rat king has been found..." Han Shoucheng said.
Shen Cong interrupted: "According to my calculations, the number of rat-men exceeds 160,000. There is a huge crypt system underground, in which a large number of rat beasts dig tunnels. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 3,000 rat beasts."
"Commander has entered the crypt to check?" Han Shoucheng asked.
"right."
"Okay, the staff department will revise the number of ratmen and focus on the commander's investigation."
Shen Cong's investigation was indeed more accurate than others, and then he asked: "How is the implementation of your trench plan? How many secret passages have you found?"
"In order to prevent being discovered by the Rat Man, our trench excavation is far away from Changxing County, but is arranged along the surrounding mountains. At present, the possible access areas in the north and west have been blocked, but the construction in the south and east has not yet started, especially To the east, close to Taihu Lake, the terrain is unobstructed, and it is difficult not to be discovered by the rat people."
As Han Shoucheng spoke, the staff rolled out a detailed map with mountains, confluences, lakes and other terrain marked on it, and the blockade area was arranged according to the mountains.
"Another crucial point is that the Rat Man went out hunting and passed through an area. We did not block the area in order to avoid alerting the enemy. However, we have already planned to send out teams during the siege to block the area as soon as possible."
Shen Cong was not satisfied with the location of the blocked area.
He pointed at several locations and said: "There is a passage here that leads to Mantou Mountain. There are three exits, one at... There is a passage here that leads to Niutou Ridge, and there are two exits... There is a passage here that leads to Niutou Ridge. Hongxingqiao Town has three exits, one at the intersection of Shanghai-Nie Line and Changhe Line... "
Compared with the investigation results in the eastern theater that have made little progress, Shen Cong's investigation results have been accurate to the location of every exit.
"The eleven exits of these four passages are all on land. You send people to block them. There is also a secret passage in Taihu Lake. I will block it myself... There is also news that the Rat King may have enslaved some human survivors. The development of the rat people’s social system and the manufacturing of weapons and equipment were all provided by these survivors.”
After Shen Cong revealed the news, everyone in the combat command room couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Although there had been speculation before that it was humans who were behind the development of the Ratmen, I still didn't feel good after hearing the news. Whether the survivors took the initiative to plan or were enslaved by the ratmen, it made people feel resentful.
Glancing at everyone, Shen Cong said coldly: "This attack on the rat city will be left to you. All the rat people must be killed, whether they are slaves or plotters, and all survivors must be killed."
"Commander, I think it is better to capture alive. If the survivor is enslaved, then he..."
"Must die." Shen Cong looked at the staff member who was speaking with cold eyes, "Both the Rat and the survivors must die. This is the bottom line and is not allowed to be exceeded."
Han Shoucheng said: "Perhaps we can capture them first, and then kill them after obtaining the secret of the evolution of the rat people. Commander, you also know that all information about evolution is urgently needed by us humans."
After saying this, Shen Cong began to ponder.
Although he feels that human identity is a constraint, he is indeed a member of the human race.
This makes Shen Cong extremely vigilant and defensive about other creatures trying to encroach on the status of human beings as advanced intelligent creatures. Therefore, people or things related to rat people and rat people must be destroyed. However, it is obviously more beneficial to Shen Cong to study the secrets of evolution than to eliminate a group of rat people.
In this new world, it is impossible for only a group of rat people to evolve high intelligence.
After thinking about it, Shen Cong agreed to Han Shoucheng's plan, and the best thing was to capture them alive: "After researching the evolutionary information, the rat people and survivors must be killed, otherwise I will do it myself."
"good!"
…
The siege of Ratman City took place on May 25th.
The weather around Changxing County is fine and cloudless. The sun shines on the walls of Ratman City, the granite walls shine brightly, and groups of Ratmen come and go in and out of the city.
The back-shaped moat has been introduced into the lake, with a width of more than 20 meters, like a big river.
Almost all the troops in the eastern theater were mobilized, sending out all the super iron men, including Chen Xiuni, who had just returned from practicing the Sky Eye in the small oasis of Yunlong Lake.
Super Iron Man's armored chariot took the lead, and the Golden Man's large army followed the charge, advancing towards Rat Man City from three directions: north, west, and south.
A war is about to start.
When Shen Cong's army in the eastern theater attacked the Rat City, he drove the King Kong Fortress and took a detour to Taihu Lake. With the power of the unparalleled Iron Man, Shen Cong was not afraid at all even if there were huge aquatic evolved beasts in Taihu Lake. Of course, Shen Cong had no intention of going to the deep water area of Taihu Lake if it was not necessary.
He directly blocked the exit of the secret passage by the lake.
The four-legged dragon was sent out by him to attack the city with the army in the eastern theater. The power of an ultimate golden beast could definitely be compared to several super iron men.
More importantly, the super destructive power of the four-legged dragon will be a huge help in siege warfare.
The Diamond Ants were also sent out by Shen Cong. They were weak in combat, but they could still pick up holes.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
As the siege battle began, more than a dozen drones flew overhead, taking pictures of the entire siege, including one belonging to Shen Cong. His drone has been replaced with wired transmission, rising to an altitude of one hundred meters, and synchronously transmitting real-time images back to the big screen of King Kong Fortress.
While watching the screen.
While the sky-eye radar monitors the underwater exit, a thunderstorm is brewing in my heart
