Chapter 449: Tunnel Battle

readx; The smoke cleared, and the hidden tunnels finally saw the light of day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEveryone leaned over to take a look, and their mouths opened wide in shock!

But I saw that more than a zhang deep underground, a long tunnel about four feet wide and less than one person high, dug straight from the direction of the thief's camp, and extended to the city of Luoyang. Every short distance, a burning torch is inserted on the wall of the cave, which not only illuminates the tunnel, but also prevents too little air in the tunnel from suffocating people.

Unexpectedly, such a huge project, Zhang Xianzhong actually completed it in a few days! Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thinking that if he hadn't been heard by the red lady, he was afraid that it would not be long before Luoyang City would fall.

Within sight, more than a dozen thieves who had been blown up with missing arms and legs were buried in the soft soil and groaning in pain. There were a number of thieves in front and behind who were marching with short knives, and they were all stunned by the loud noise.

Zhu Youzhen reacted quickly, and immediately realized that this tunnel had penetrated into the city, and these thieves were about to sneak into Luoyang! He immediately shouted: "Enter the tunnel and block the enemy!" ”

At the sound of an order, twenty special combat personnel fell from the sky with spears in hand. They first stabbed the thieves at the entrance of the cave that had been blown up to death, and then lined up in two columns back to back and pressed the thieves on both sides.

This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, originally Zhang Yingyuan of thousands of households confiscated everyone's bows and arrows, and only issued a spear; But in this narrow tunnel, the spear gave full play to the advantage of "one inch long and one inch strong". The three special combat team members stood side by side, stabbing in front of them with their big guns, and they only had the ability to parry and not fight back.

The thieves originally wanted to sneak into the city along the tunnels to sneak attack, so they took short weapons such as swords that were easy to carry. When short weapons are close to the body, they are naturally varied, and far longer weapons are flexible, making the opponent defenseless; But at a distance of more than one zhang, no matter how many moves you have, you can't reach a single hair of the opponent, so you can only be beaten passively.

And the special combat team members suddenly fell from the sky and killed the thieves by surprise. Therefore, as soon as the battle began, dozens of thieves were shot and fell to the ground. Seeing that they had suffered too much, the rest retreated to both ends of the tunnel. The sneak attack army of thieves was cut off by Zhu Youzhen!

At this time, Zhu Youzhen also jumped down the tunnel, and he looked in the direction of Luoyang City. But when I saw that there were at least one or two hundred thieves in sight, I couldn't see them any further, and I don't know how many had passed. As for whether they have emerged from Luoyang City, it is completely unknown.

And although more than 20 of them have the upper hand temporarily, Zhu Youzhen knows very well that he is now suffering from the enemy on his back, especially when the tunnel is blown up from above, Zhang Xianzhong can also send troops to seal it up and catch turtles in an urn for himself. When the time comes, there is no need to fight at all, and people will directly bury themselves alive!

There was already a shadow of swords and swords around him, and time did not allow Zhu Youzhen to think calmly about countermeasures. At this moment, he decided to take a gamble, betting that there were not too many thieves who were cut off by himself on the side close to Luoyang City. And more than 20 of them fought and retreated along the tunnel, until they retreated into the city, and fought with the defenders inside and outside, completely annihilating this group of thieves.

But if there were a lot of thieves in the past, or if the tunnels were not dug at all, then doing so would be tantamount to digging your own grave. But now Zhu Youzhen has no better choice, so he can only roar: "Resist the front, and kill the back in the city!" ”

All the special combat team members also knew that at this time, when it was a matter of life and death, they all burst out with the greatest combat effectiveness. Led by the veteran Shi Biao, the twenty special combat team members were divided into five groups, each group of four; Two of the groups faced the enemy directly and stabbed with spears to seal the narrow front; The other two groups stood behind the first two groups, and when their arms were sore, they replaced them and continued to sprint, and so on. The last group was by Zhu Youzhen's side in case of accidents.

Most of these special combat personnel are from the Qi family army brought by Qi Meifeng from Dengzhou, and they are all strong in martial arts, and they are extremely familiar with the "mandarin duck array" of the Qi family army. The current terrain is very suitable for the play of the "Mandarin Duck Array", and even three or four spears can completely seal the front. For a time, the thieves were killed by them, and after dozens of people died under the spear, they had to reluctantly retreat in the direction of Luoyang City.

Zhu Youzhen and others followed suit, advancing little by little. If you continue to fight like this, you can really fight back into the city without danger, and you will hardly have to pay any casualties.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and I only heard a commotion in the direction of the thief's camp, and then the thieves were divided left and right, and a big man with a long sword in his hand and an unusually burly figure caught up. Zhu Youzhen looked at it, and it turned out that there was also a relationship, it was Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son and Zhang Kewang, who was nicknamed "A Wall". Originally, this tunnel was very narrow, so Zhang Kewang's big man was really similar to a wall.

Zhang Kewang was the commander-in-chief of this sneak attack. The idea of digging the tunnel was his idea, and after several days and nights of emergency construction, the tunnel was dug in the middle of the night, and it had reached the vicinity of Tianjin Bridge in the center of Luoyang City. This time, he personally led the elite to sneak into the tunnel, just thinking about suddenly killing out of Luoyang City, breaking the defenders in one fell swoop, and snatching the head work steadily.

Zhang Xianzhong has three sons, namely Zhang Kewang, Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Nengqi. Their original names were Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi, but since they worshiped Zhang Xianzhong's knees, they had to change their surnames to Zhang.

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong in history has four sons, and the fourth is the famous Li Dingguo. However, in this time and space, Li Dingguo has been "intercepted" by Zhu Youzhen, and Zhang Xianzhong's "four-legged chair" had to become three-legged.

And these three people are called brothers and sisters on the surface, but in fact, they are intriguing and each has a ghost, and everyone wants to stand out and suppress the other two. Because they know that Zhang Xianzhong is ambitious, and he may be able to become the emperor in the future; And Zhang Xianzhong still has no heirs, and even if he does, it will be difficult for the baby to survive in the chaos. Therefore, whoever can make more military exploits will be able to please Zhang Xianzhong more, and he may be a prince in the future. When Zhang Xianzhong hangs up, won't he become the Son of Heaven!

Therefore, Zhang Kewang was anxious to make meritorious contributions, and he also thought that the great achievement of breaking Luoyang this time was within reach, but he did not expect to be cut off by Zhu Youzhen, who fell from the sky. He was immediately furious, rushed to the front to observe for a while, and then squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, revealing a chill to the bone: "Throw the sword in your hand and stick it to death!" ”
