Chapter 369: Oiling the soles of your feet

Han Meng was secretly sneering, but he didn't realize that on the dark side, countless pairs of murderous eyes were staring at them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The scouts continued to send back information, and more than 10,000 Yuan troops had crossed the trenches and entered the flat land, which was already a few hundred steps away from Yecheng.

The hour had come, and the war knife in the potter's hand was slowly raised, pointing towards the dark front, and shouted: "The fish has entered the net, it is time to close the net, and the whole army will go out to kill all the enemies!" ā€

Woo woo woo -

The hollow and murderous trumpet tore apart the silence of the night.

Xiang Yu, Peng Yue, Fan Xu, Zhang He and other generals rushed out, each leading their headquarters soldiers and horses, and rushed towards the fleeing Yuan army in all directions.

Facing the Liang Jun who suddenly appeared, Han Meng, who was secretly rejoicing, was stunned, and the whole person was shocked violently, and he almost failed to sit on the war horse.

"What's going on? Where did so many enemy soldiers come from? Shouldn't all the soldiers and horses of the pottery thief be transferred to the front line of the West Gate? Han Meng was completely stunned.

Looking in all directions, countless torches rolled towards them like fiery snakes, and Han Meng and his more than 10,000 soldiers instantly fell into a panic.

"Could it be that Mr. Fu's strategy of attacking the east and west was actually seen through by the pottery thief?" Han Meng suddenly realized, secretly screamed in his heart, hurriedly turned his horse around, and fled in the direction of Yecheng.

The 10,000 frightened soldiers of Yuan turned around one after another, threw away their armor, and fled along the original road in embarrassment, wanting to flee back to Yecheng.

Just as they fled to the edge of the filled trench, they suddenly found that the iron formations of the Liang army were already in front of them, blocking their way back to the city.

"Break the barracks, release the arrows!" In the middle of the formation, Yang Yuji shouted.

Whoosh!

Thousands of sharp arrows rose into the air, pouring like a raging storm, and the thousands of Yuan soldiers who fled at the front were shot to the ground in an instant before they could react.

Han Meng was shocked, while waving his sword to block arrows, he drank the soldiers and retreated.

The panicked Yuan soldiers were anxious to stop their steps, and under the suppression of the rain of arrows, it was difficult to take half a step forward, and more than 10,000 people were squeezed in the narrow area in front of Yecheng and Liangying, unable to advance or retreat, and became a pot of porridge.

Behind him, the infantry and cavalry armies of the Liang army from all walks of life were like sharp arrows, chasing from all directions.

The striker is at the forefront, it is the overlord Xiang Yu, the golden armor and golden helmet, the golden overlord gun, like a golden sword, fiercely pierced into the chaotic enemy group, the spear blade passed, the golden light was shining, and no life was spared.

Four thousand iron cavalry soldiers rushed all the way up, crushing any enemy in front of them, rolling out a long bloody road, and cutting the enemy formation in two.

In an instant, Yuan Jun was killed until the ghost cried wolf, and the blood flowed like a river.

The firelight lit up the night sky, and under the raging flames, the potters stood proudly like green pines, coldly admiring the last battle.

Looking up, there were nearly 10,000 enemy troops fleeing, and they were almost all of Yuan Shao's family, and Yuan Shao must be among them.

The potter no longer had any doubts, so he transferred the soldiers and horses of the remaining gates to the north gate, and he must complete his work in one battle and annihilate Yuan Shao outside Yecheng in one fell swoop.

Just when Han Meng was ravaged, Yuan Shao had already galloped and rushed to the east gate.

He kept going all the way to a ruined house.

Wen Chou had arrived in advance, and Liu was also wearing civilian clothes, and he had been waiting here for a long time with fine softness.

Behind him, Fu Zhi and nearly 5,000 personal soldiers also followed, all of them suspicious and uneasy.

"Lord, General Han has been out of the city for a long time, we should have followed a long time ago, why did you come to the East Gate?" Frustrated Professor asked eagerly.

Yuan Shao didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "That pottery thief is treacherous, and there are strange people like Zhang Liang under his command to help, the original plan between the prince and you was seen through by him several times, do you think that you let Han Meng surrender, this plan to attack the west can be concealed from the pottery thief?" ā€

Frustrated, a trace of embarrassment instantly appeared on his face, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Husband, if we don't break through with General Han, how can we escape from the encirclement of the pottery thieves?" Liu asked uneasily.

"Pottery thief, does he think he can trap me, then he also underestimates me too much, don't worry, I have been prepared for my husband." Yuan Shao's old face raised a smug sneer, and he turned his head to glance at Wen Chou.

Wen Chou understood, and immediately ordered the soldiers to work together to overturn a shack.

Frustrated and surprised, Liu's face changed color, and all the pro-soldiers were stunned.

Under the shack, there was a hole a few feet deep.

"This tunnel can lead to the east gate, and now the main force of the pottery thieves must have been pinned down by Han Meng on the north gate, and we just bypass the pottery thieves' defense line from this tunnel and retreat from the east gate." Yuan Shao pointed to the pit and sneered.

Liu suddenly realized, this is a lot of peace of mind.

Frustrated, he said: "When did the lord dig this tunnel, why don't we know at all?" ā€

"In order to prevent the war from developing into an uncontrollable step, when the pottery thieves had not yet besieged the city, they had secretly ordered me to secretly dig this tunnel, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today." Without waiting for Yuan Shao to answer, Wen Chou explained for Yuan Shao.

Only then did he suddenly realize that Yuan Shao's previous determination to live and die with Yecheng was just a play for the soldiers and civilians, and he had already made preparations to abandon the city and flee.

"If that's the case, then wouldn't General Han become an abandoned ......" Frustrated Zhu suddenly remembered something, and looked at Yuan Shao in panic, the second son of the "abandoned son" was difficult to exit.

Only then did he suddenly realize that Yuan Shao's previous discussion with him about the plan to attack the east and west was completely played for Han Meng, in order to let Han Meng lead the army out of the north gate without suspicion and act as a pioneer for them to break through.

In fact, Yuan Shao decided early on to make Han Meng an outcast, sacrificing his life and the lives of 10,000 soldiers in exchange for his own smooth breakthrough.

Frustrated, he looked at Yuan Shao in a daze, looking at this iron-blooded lord, and he didn't know what to say.

"For the sake of the overall situation, I can only sacrifice Han Meng, his sacrifice is worth it, he will not die in vain, I will kill the pottery thief sooner or later, and avenge him, without further ado, let's go quickly." Yuan Shao's tone was dull, his face was expressionless, and he didn't want to explain too much.

In fact, he had long known that Yecheng would not be able to defend it, and he also guessed that his sons might not be reliable, so just in case, he ordered Wen Chou to lead hundreds of personal soldiers to start digging this secret passage here more than a month in advance.

In order to prevent leakage, he didn't tell anyone about this matter, even if it was a confidant like Fu Zhi, even his wife Liu.

He was worried that Han Meng was unwilling to take the initiative to sacrifice himself, so he pretended to act in a play, and pretended to adopt the so-called trick of surrender, just to let Han Meng obediently lead the army to escape from the north gate without knowing it.

Han Meng never dreamed that he was just an abandoned son that Yuan Shao used to cover himself and could sacrifice.

"General Han is loyal to the lord, when the lord did not get Jizhou, he had already followed the lord, and the 10,000 soldiers were all righteous men who swore allegiance to the lord, can the lord bear to let them die like this?" Fu Zhu couldn't help but ask angrily, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"I've already said it, it's for the sake of the big picture, don't you understand?" Yuan Shao frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Frustrated's questioning.

Frustrated, he was silent, but his expression was still questioning.

Liu Shi hurriedly persuaded from the side: "Gonghe, you are not ignorant of the husband's personality, he is the most benevolent and righteous, if he does not sacrifice General Han, if he has three long and two short, Hebei will lose the Optimus Pillar, I don't know how many people will be poisoned by the pottery thief, Fujun He did this, not for himself, all for the people of Hebei." ā€

"The master's mother is reasonable, but in fact, the lord did this, all of which were forced by the pottery thief and had no choice but to do so." Wen Chou was also busy exonerating Yuan Shao.

Frustrated Professor shook his head and sighed, speechless.

Seeing that he shut up, Yuan Shao's face softened slightly, and Fang said, "There's no time to delay any longer, let's quickly withdraw from Yecheng." ā€

Wen Chou was the first to jump out of the pit and enter the secret passage to open the way, Yuan Shao glanced at Fu Zhu, and he had to follow Wen Chou into the pit.

Yuan Shao took the Liu clan and the rest of the thousands of soldiers, followed behind, and entered the secret passage one after another.

The tunnel was very dark, and the soldiers could only barely see it with oil lamps, and the height of the tunnel was only more than half a person, and everyone had to bend half-bent to move forward.

Yuan Shao bent over and lowered his head, following behind Fu Zhi and more than a dozen family soldiers, panting and struggling to move forward, and after a short time, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

Unconsciously estimating that he had walked more than two hundred steps, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and persevered, knowing that if he walked a few hundred steps, he would be able to pass under the barrier of the Liang army and escape from the ascension to heaven.

Just as Yuan Shao wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the pit above his head suddenly shook and collapsed.

Yuan Shao was taken aback, and the soldiers who were moving forward were all startled, never expecting that this tunnel would collapse at a critical moment.

It turned out that this tunnel was dug in a hurry, only after a simple support, these months, Liang Jun galloped back and forth on the ground above, and the tunnel had already been loosened a lot, and it was also considered that Yuan Shao was unlucky, and began to collapse at this critical moment.

"Don't stop, keep crawling forward, don't get in the way!" Yuan Shao yelled in panic.

The soldiers didn't need him to remind them at all, they were all scared and about to urinate, and they moved forward desperately, but the mud above their heads was collapsing faster and faster, and in a moment the tunnel was full of choking dust, and the coughing sound was so intelligent that Yuan Shao almost suffocated.

The speed at which the earth and rocks fell faster and more violently, and the earth fog in the tunnel was filled, and Yuan Shao was choked almost out of breath.

The stones above his head collapsed faster and faster, and Yuan Shao was almost unable to see the road ahead, so he couldn't care much at this time, so he could only kick his buttocks and crawl forward with his instinct.

Click!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and a huge earth and stone suddenly collapsed and smashed heavily into Yuan Shao.
