Hearing Gao Lang's words, Ye Heng was very relieved in his heart, it seemed that he didn't have to worry about being retaliated against by the rebels after the city was broken.

"General Gao, since there is such a secret passage, then you can arrange it in advance, if the battle situation is unfavorable, immediately send the people in the city out of the city first, I am afraid that if there is a change, we will not be able to deal with it." Ye Heng said calmly.

"Okay, I'll arrange it! City Lord, you take the time to rest for a while, it seems that the rebels have no stronger siege methods, and then they will enter a stalemate, and if you don't make a move, everyone can withstand it." Gao Lang said.

"I'm not tired, but you're busy before and after, Pingcheng can't do without you, you must not be tired. Ye Heng said with a smile.

"I'm a big old man, I have the strength, and it's okay to do this little work, so I'll go first. Gao Lang said indifferently.

The snow wolf came over with the long sword sent by Ye Heng and said to Ye Heng: "You go to the west of the city to have a look, I think it is impossible to stop the rebels in a deep pit." There was no movement all night, and I felt very abnormal. ”

"Chengnan can't relax, although the two sides are no longer fighting, in case they suddenly attack, we will be caught off guard, and it will be too late to regret it, you pay more attention to that side. Ye Heng admonished.

Ye Heng came to the west city wall and saw that the big pit under the city had been burned overnight, almost burned out, and there were still some places with smoke. The camp stationed outside the city was quiet, as if empty.

At this time, Han Kaiyuan was not in the camp, but how could he easily give up Pingcheng? The big pit dug by Pingcheng caused heavy losses to the Han army, and at the same time inspired Han Kaiyuan. Since the gap cannot be opened from the city wall, then find a way from the underground! Therefore, last night, Han Kaiyuan commanded his army to dig a tunnel towards Pingcheng.

More than 10,000 officers and soldiers dug together, and after a night of excavation, a tunnel more than one zhang high was dug out of the rebel barracks leading to Pingcheng. It's just that when digging under the city wall, the rebels encountered a problem, and at this time, Han Kaiyuan was standing in the tunnel worrying about the foundation of the Pingcheng city wall.

"Marshal, we're in trouble! I don't know who built the wall of Pingcheng, the foundation is not only deep and strong, but it is actually filled with a large amount of mineral liquid! The stone of the foundation has been glued together with these mineral liquids after a long period of fusion, and it is impossible to chisel it at all!" A general said to Han Kaiyuan.

Han Kaiyuan stretched out his hand and touched the foundation of Pingcheng, knowing that the general was not panicking, he was extremely angry in his heart, smashed it out with a fist, and roared angrily: "How can this be! Even if it is to build a palace, it is nothing more than this, just such a broken city, which madman is so strong!"

"Marshal, what shall we do now, shall we continue digging?" the general asked.

"Dig! You must dig! The Pingcheng army can dig such a huge pit outside the city, which means that there must be a gap under the city! You continue to dig along the city wall to the left and right, I must find this passage that can enter and exit Pingcheng!" Han Kaiyuan yelled angrily.

The rebels did not dare to slack off and immediately started digging. Han Kaiyuan knew that he would not be able to play a role here, so he retreated from the tunnel.

As soon as Han Kaiyuan appeared in the barracks, Han Bin came over and said, "Uncle, the situation is not good! The armies are exhausted, and the siege effect is not good, what should we do next?"

"Continue to attack the city, never die!" Han Kaiyuan said hatefully, "Don't think that just because we are tired, how many troops are there in Pingcheng? They can't get time to breathe, they are even more tired, I don't believe that my 80,000 army can't consume the defenders of a city!"

"Uncle, I'm afraid that our army is only 50,000 at most now, and the battle damage in this day and night is very large!" Han Bin reminded.

"What about Pingcheng? Even if the attackers work hard and the defenders escape, then they will have to lose, how much do they lose? Just the little strength of Pingcheng, how can they withstand the losses? Think about it, how many more can they participate in the war now?" Han Kaiyuan said with a sneer.

"Under normal circumstances, they can have at most half of their troops left, but it's really hard to say what the real situation is. The defenders of Pingcheng are really evil, they have never encountered such a tenacious army before. Han Bin said uncertainly.

"Then continue to attack, even if five people are exchanged for one, or even ten people for one, I will consume Pingcheng! Now that we have no way out, even if we fight the remaining 50,000 troops, we will take Pingcheng!" Han Kaiyuan said as if crazy.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't agree with your approach, I'm afraid that once Chen Shuijun is forced to be anxious, they will be dissatisfied, what if they disobey?" Han Bin expressed his scruples.

"Then let them disobey the order, and then we will put the responsibility for the unfavorable siege on them, and we can protect ourselves in front of the Taiyin Sect, understand?" Han Kaiyuan said with a sly smile.

"Understood! It's still the uncle's foresight, then I'll supervise more strictly, the city is our credit, and Chen Shuijun is their fault, so that we can all be in a favorable position whether the city is broken or not, and the Han family will not be implicated!" Han Bin quickly figured out the key to it, and said with great admiration.

"It's good that you can understand the trick, you don't need me to teach you what to do, right?" Han Kaiyuan asked.

"Uncle, then I'll go, I'll assign tasks to our Han family. Han Bin immediately retired.

Han Kaiyuan waved Han Bin away, and stared at the big pit under the city wall alone in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

The sun rose higher and higher, and a procession of dozens of people appeared from the official roads in the west, and they rode high-quality BMWs and galloped towards the rebel camp.

After seeing who they were immediately, the rebel guards immediately let them into the camp without stopping them or questioning them. 258

This group of people came directly to Han Kaiyuan's Chinese army tent and walked straight in. It didn't take long for Han Kaiyuan to be found by the soldiers and report the matter to him. Han Kaiyuan was shocked when he heard this, and walked towards the big tent in three steps and two steps.

"I never expected that Sect Master Wu would come, Han Mou would miss the distance, and he would be guilty of sin!" Han Kaiyuan entered the big tent and saw the person sitting in the middle hurriedly bowing and saluting.

"Marshal Han has worked hard, please take a seat!" Wu Haoren, the leader of the Taiyin Sect, did not get up, but just pointed to the seat under the head and said.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Han Kaiyuan said respectfully, bowing down to the seat and sitting sideways.

"Marshal Han, I won't be polite to you in this seat, let's go straight to the point! How is the war going now, can we take Pingcheng as soon as possible?" Wu Haohuai asked directly.

"Tell the sect leader that our army has been attacking with all its strength for a day and a night, but the defenders of Pingcheng are too tenacious and cunning, and they are still in a stalemate so far. Han Kaiyuan replied cautiously.

"And what about the casualties of our army?" Wu Haoren continued to ask.

"The preliminary estimate is that there are nearly 30,000 casualties, including nearly 3,000 Han troops I brought from the Han family. Han Kaiyuan replied very skillfully.

"Marshal Han is bothered!" Wu Haoren said very sincerely, "I heard from the disciples who went back to this seat that a group of very powerful strangers suddenly appeared in Pingcheng, and one of them even killed several masters of my sect. With these characters sitting in Pingcheng, it must have created a lot of difficulties for us to attack Pingcheng, and it is really difficult for Marshal Han!"

"Thank you for your understanding, it's just that as the commander of the army, no matter what the reason, he failed to take down Pingcheng, Han still bears an unshirkable responsibility, please ask the master to punish him!" Han Kaiyuan stood up from his seat and bowed down to plead guilty.

"Marshal Han, please take a seat, it's not your fault!" Wu Haoren waved his hand and said, "This seat is here to help you take down Pingcheng this time, except for the right protector who sits in the sect to deal with daily things, this seat will bring all the masters that this seat can bring." ”

"Thank you Sect Master for your help!" Han Kaiyuan said excitedly.

Wu Haoren pointed to the more than thirty people who were sitting or standing and said: "These five are the elders of the sect, and the ones standing behind are the elites of the sect, they are all the personal disciples of the elders or the pillars of the sect, it should not be a problem for them to help Marshal Han open the gap." ”

"That's that, with the help of the masters of the Taiyin Sect, Pingcheng will definitely be captured!" Han Kaiyuan said excitedly.

"Okay, without further ado, Marshal Han, let's take a look together and look for an opportunity to break through Pingcheng!" Wu Haoren stood up and said heroically.

"I'll lead the way, sect leader, please!" Han Kaiyuan hurriedly walked out of his seat and led the way.

Under the leadership of Han Kaiyuan, the Taiyin Sect and others first saw a large pit that caused a large number of casualties to the Han family army in the west of the city, and the pit was scorched black everywhere, and there was smoke rising from the unburned places.

"What's going on?" Wu Haoren asked puzzled, looking at the huge pit.

"This is a trap set up by the thieves in Pingcheng, my Han family army was trapped in the pit yesterday, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, which caused the situation that the city could not be captured for a long time, if it were not for this, the battle would not have dragged on until now!" Han Kaiyuan said sadly.

"It's really rare to be able to set up such a big trap outside the city!" Wu Haoren commented noncommittally. The group went around to the north of the city, and at this time, the Han army was carrying out high-pressure to force the rebels to attack the city, and the battle scene was still anxious.

Suddenly, they heard a loud roar from among the rebels, and the Taiyin Sect and his party immediately rushed over, and what appeared in their eyes was a group of officers and soldiers from Chen Shuizhou and the Han family army in a tense confrontation.

"Han Bin, if you have the ability, your Han family army will go into battle in person, don't hide in the back and stab the knife! If you dare to kill Lao Tzu's soldiers, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face with you!" Zheng Lei pulled Han Bin's collar and roared.

"Zheng Lei, I order you to let go of your hands! I am carrying out military orders, as soon as there are those who passively avoid the battle and retreat and escape, they will be killed immediately! You will stop again, and be careful of military law!" Han Bin said with a fearless face.

"You fucking don't come to this set, take chicken feathers as arrows, don't think Lao Tzu is stupid! You fucking killed more than 100 brothers of Lao Tzu, what the hell is going on you and I know very well, if you use Lao Tzu as a monkey again, and then take your brother's life as a child's play, be careful that Lao Tzu withdraws all the soldiers, this city Lao Tzu will not fight!" Zheng Lei scolded angrily and threatened.

"General Zheng, stop!" As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, Han Kaiyuan immediately stopped Zheng Lei and secretly glanced at Wu Haoren.

Zheng Lei saw Han Kaiyuan and the others coming, let go of Han Bin, and stepped forward to ask: "Marshal Han, you ordered Han Jiajun to be the prison army, right? May I ask how much power this prison army has? Killing more than 100 of my brothers in one night, is this too much?"

Han Kaiyuan glanced at Wu Haoren, but the other party didn't say anything, obviously unwilling to meddle in this matter. Han Kaiyuan opened his mouth and said: "Military law is ruthless, and those who violate the order will be killed! If you think they are too ruthless, you can restrain your subordinates to attack the city with all their might, if it is not for your subordinates to cheat and cheat, how can the prison army be executed casually?"

"Marshal Han, you can't say that! The brothers have been attacking for a day and a night, how can they not be hungry or tired, so what is wrong with letting them come down and rest for a while? Han Jiajun will kill people without asking questions, and whether such actions are in accordance with military law or not, is it too unkind? Brothers did not die on the battlefield, but came down to catch their breath but became ghosts under their own swords, is it too unjust?" Zheng Lei said dissatisfied.
