When Cao Ren asked his son to catch birds, he told Man Chong to hurry down to the city tower to help Chen Jiao defend together, blocking the enemy who might sneak into the city from the tunnel, while he personally commanded the defense of the city with Niu Jin and others.

Man Pet hurriedly went down the city tower, looking at the trench that had been dug nearly two zhang deep around the city wall, the whole person was tense, because he knew that since the enemy outside the city had launched a ground attack, the enemy army who was about to break through from the tunnel should also appear soon, and the two lines cooperated.

Oh no, it's a three-line three-dimensional fit! He looked up at the strange birds still hovering in the sky, today's battle must be a life-and-death decisive battle between the two sides.

The defenders inside the city walls were all nervous at this time, staring at the wall of the trench with wide eyes.

Full Pet asked, "How's the situation?" ”

A general pointed to the earthen wall of the trench in front of him: "General, look! ”

Man Zhong followed the point, and found that a clod of soil there had been loosened, as if someone had dug in it before, and it was about to be dug through, and the earthwork there might soon collapse.

"Prepare for the enemy to break through the ground soon!" He drew his waist knife and prepared to meet the enemy, but then found that the weapon was wrong, the enemy wanted to probe from the trench, and the two sides would be far apart. ”

The soldiers, however, seemed to be afraid, and a few of them took a step back instead of moving forward.

Before the general finished speaking, he continued: "General, listen! ”

The pet pricked up his ears. The sound of the tsunami-like shouts of the enemy troops outside the city seemed to be very close to the city wall.

"Don't be afraid, the city is guarded by generals such as Cao Dasima and Wen Ping, Niu Jin, etc., and there are so many powerful catapults, and the enemy will only retreat in defeat if they forcibly attack the city. They want to scream and find death, so let them go. We just need to defend ourselves against enemies who want to sneak in from the ground. He was very dissatisfied with those soldiers who were afraid of retreating, and shouted, "Those who retreat from the battle will all be punished on the spot, and they will not be spared!" ”

General Tun hurriedly explained: "I'm not talking about the shouts of the enemy outside the city, I'm talking about the sound coming from under the ground. ”

Oh? Man Pet hurriedly pricked up his ears again to listen, but after listening for a while, in addition to the shouts and killings outside the city, he didn't hear anything from the ground, could it be that it was too noisy outside?

"There's no sound. What did you just hear? Isn't it the sound of the enemy digging? He glanced at Tun Jiang very dissatisfied, and felt that at this juncture, if you have something to say, just say it directly, and finish it directly.

General Natun hurriedly came closer to listen carefully, and then his face was full of doubts: "Well, why is there no one all of a sudden?" Before, everyone could hear it very clearly. ”

Full of pets: "What did you hear just now?" If you are suspicious and disturb the morale of the army, I will cut you first! ”

"There are ghosts!" As soon as the Natun general heard that Manzhong was going to cut him down, he quickly went straight to the point and shouted loudly.

"As soon as you said that you were suspicious, you told me nonsense!" Full Pet kicked that guy to the ground, "The sun has been out for a while, and you're still telling me about ghosts?" ”

Because the waist knife was replaced with a spear, he couldn't cut it, but the tip of his spear pointed at the throat of the general.

If it weren't for the urgency of the enemy's situation, the sudden killing would cause chaos, and he would have stabbed him with a shot.

The general of Natun suddenly lost his soul and shouted again and again: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" We really heard a ghost crying down there. Everyone can hear it clearly. "Hurry up and look at the sergeants, you hurry up and prove it for me."

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life! We've all heard it. The soldiers hurriedly followed and begged for mercy.

"In broad daylight, where did the ghost come from!" Man Chong withdrew his spear and pointed at the sergeants, "Say! Make it clear to me! What the hell is going on? At the moment of the great enemy, you are still here to disturb the morale of the army, and you don't look at the time to look for death? ”

The soldiers scrambled to plead:

"General, do we really hear the ghost screams coming from the ground, and there are still crying, can it not make people creepy?"

"General, those ghosts are crying and shouting injustices under the ground, naming names, there are divine birds flying in the sky, and runes are flying everywhere, can we not doubt the gods and ghosts?"

"Oh? Also naming names? Man Zhong looked up at the sky again, at least he couldn't tell everyone what was going on, so he had to figure out the ghost thing first, "Whose name did you refer to, and whose surname did you say?" Which of you has done something wrong? ”

The soldiers looked at each other and hesitated for a while, before one of them replied: "We heard that someone in there was crying and shouting to return the lives of the people of Xuzhou who I had unjustly died!" ”

Another interface said: "There are also those who shout to return the lives of my Hebei soldiers." ”

"Enough!" Man Zhong didn't want them to say it again, this name and surname originally referred to Wei Wu Cao Cao, and if he continued to talk about it, everyone would be embarrassed.

He had no choice but to emphasize again: "Where are the ghosts, it is clear that those enemies who have dug tunnels here are pretending to be ghosts!" ”

The sergeants looked up at the sky, since there can be a divine bird flying in the sky, why can't there really be a wronged soul on the ground to ask for their lives?

Man Pet sneered: "I want to see what these guys who pretend to be ghosts are like!" Since they were hiding inside and didn't dare to come out, we took the initiative to dig through this tunnel and let them show up! ”

"Come on! Come with me! He had a gangplank brought to him, set it up over the trench, stretched out his spear and stabbed it at the wall of the ditch that seemed to be loose, "stab it open, throw torches directly into it, burn them, smoke them to death!" ”

"Come here, come here! Even if there are really ghosts down there, if they are exposed to the sun, they will disappear and never be reborn! With that, he stabbed him with a hard shot.

A bullet hole immediately appeared in the ditch wall, and just as Manpet was about to shoot a second shot, the soldiers exclaimed in unison: "It's smoking, it's smoking!" ”

Well, full of pets, he was so upset that he just said that he was going to dig them up and smoke them, why did he smoke in this hole first?

Just when he was confused, "Boom! With a bang, the wall of the ditch exploded automatically, and the flying clods of earth smashed down on him, and at the same time a wave of air slammed into him. As soon as the body of the full pet flickered, the whole person was about to fall off the springboard and fall into the trench.

Fortunately, it was in the upper position, not in the direction where the earth and rocks flew out, and with a quick reaction, Man Pet put the spear in his hand on the springboard, jumped away with his strength, and fell to the side.

A huge hole appeared in the wall of the smoky ditch just now, and the thick smoke was still pouring out.

The soldiers who were facing the entrance of the cave were not so lucky, and they did not have the skills of full pet, and they were smashed by the flying earth and rocks, and their heads were bleeding, and they were dizzy, and they shouted: "Hell! "Turn around and run.

Man Pet shook his head, wiped his face violently, spit out two mouthfuls of saliva, and when he saw the soldiers fleeing, he hurriedly beckoned: "Come back to me!" ”

Most of the soldiers had already run away without looking back, and Manpet really didn't have time to care about them, and when he saw the hole that exploded and smoked, he had to figure out what was going on.

After waiting for a while, the smoke faded a little, and nothing came out of it, and Man Pet was a little relieved, so he wanted people to go in to check what was going on, and said to the general: "Look, there are no ghosts running out of it." ”

The general looked creepy, pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "There is movement inside!" ”

Well? It really looks like there's something walking around in there! As soon as Man Pet finished speaking, he heard it himself, so he quickly listened attentively.

This time, he really heard it clearly, there was a lot of movement inside, and it seemed that many people were pouring into the hole, accompanied by a terrible cry: "Cao thief, return the lives of my people in Xuzhou!" ”

Even if he had been fighting for many years and was full of favorites who had been moving forward bravely, he suddenly hit a stirring spirit and involuntarily took a step back.

"Whew! Whew" a few times, accompanied by a cry, several things flew out of the hole.

Fortunately, Man Pet took a step back, and before he could react, he dodged on one side.

Others, on the other hand, have long since stepped aside.

The few things that flew out were miserable and white, and they fell to the ground with a few "knocks".

Everyone immediately saw clearly, it was clearly a skull, a few people's thigh bones!

"Ahh Some of the people who had not run away with curiosity before were no longer interested in this moment and fled screaming.

Say it's not a ghost?

At this time, in many other places along the trench, the sound of "boom, boom" sounded one after another, and the clods of earth flew together with the skeletons towards the Wei guards who were waiting to intercept the Ji Han sergeant.

Immediately after, "Boom! Rumble! There was an even stronger explosion, and there were several places on the Xuchang city wall where bricks and stones were flying.
