Chapter 13: Digging Battalion
Yuan's army entered the city, and soldiers from both sides engaged in street battles in the streets of the outer city.
At the head of the city, most of the broken flags of the Gongsun family were pulled down by the Yuan army and replaced with bright battle flags of the Yuan family.
The crimson battle flag was waving in the wind, and the sound of "hulala" was endless.
Only one battlement still fluttered a dilapidated Gongsun battle flag!
The battle flag full of holes is lonely and fluttering, as if telling people about the tenacity of the Gongsun army!
In front of the banner stood a middle-aged scribe with a long sword, and behind him were a handful of seven or eight soldiers.
The soldiers' armor was torn, and each of them was covered in blood.
The black-pressed Yuan army approached, and sharp blades pointed directly at them.
No one retreats!
The middle-aged scribe was even more resolute!
"Guan Jing, you also have a bit of backbone, you can't bear to kill him!" Yuan Tan stood proudly in front of the soldiers and said to the middle-aged scribe: "Just put down your blade, and you will not die!" ”
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang beside him pressed the hilt of the sword on their waists, and their eyes were like knives looking at Guan Jing.
Seven or eight Gongsun Jun looked at each other.
They are very entangled in their hearts!
As long as Guan Jing is willing to surrender to Yuan's army, they may not have to die!
However, this long history has always been persistent, and there are very few possibilities that he will surrender!
Sure enough, Guan Jing smiled sadly and said: "Back then, a certain man persuaded the lord to defend Yi Jing and had this defeat. A gentleman who puts people in danger will live and die together, how can he live alone? ”
Staring at Guan Jing, Yuan Tan didn't say anything more.
Although the other party is a strategist, he is still a strategist who trapped Gongsun Chan to death, but this arrogance and determination made him feel respectful.
"Kill!" A burst of shouts roared out of Guan Jing's mouth, and before the shouts stopped, he had already rushed towards Yuan Tan with a sword!
Groups of Yuan troops rushed up and stopped the few Gongsun soldiers who had gone out with him.
The strength was weak, and seven or eight Gongsun Jun were instantly knocked down by Yuan Jun, and after falling to the ground, they were poked one by one and covered in bloody holes!
No one stopped Guan Jing, he rushed straight with his sword, and in an instant, he was close to Yuan Tan.
Gripping the hilt of the sword tightly, with a roar, he used all his strength to stab the long sword into Yuan Tan's chest.
has been fighting all year round, how can Yuan Tan be easily injured by a mere strategist?
His right foot retreated half a step back, and when Guan Jing's momentum was old, he drew his long sword and stabbed it violently.
The blade of the sword pierced into Guan Jing's abdomen, peeking out from his back.
Holding the sword with one hand, and holding Guan Jing's shoulder with the other hand to prevent him from falling down immediately, Yuan Tan looked ahead, without the slightest expression on his face!
There is no shortage of loyal people with mediocre talents!
was trapped in the death of Gongsun Zan back then, and now Guan Jing has atoned for that mistake with his life!
The hand holding the sword slowly loosened, the long sword landed with a crisp sound, and Guan Jing slowly fell down in Yuan Tan's support.
With his eyes wide open, he stared at the night sky, refusing to close his eyes at the last moment!
"Thick burial!" Without looking at Guan Jing's corpse again, Yuan Tan turned around and instructed Yuan Jun: "Bury them together with those enemy soldiers!" ”
The general trend has gone, most of the Gongsun army put down their weapons and surrendered after a little resistance, and a small number of those who swore to die did not surrender, relying on the streets and alleys of the city to entangle with the Yuan army.
The fighting in the outer city gradually thinned out, but the bloody gas in the air lasted for a long time!
Leaving the city gate, Yuan Xu walked unhurriedly on the streets of the city with a group of blackened fireheads.
The people of the city closed their homes, and some of the doors of their houses were kicked open by the rebels, and there was a dead silence in the portals of the black holes.
Everywhere is Yuan Jun searching for the remnants of the Gongsun Army!
Along the way, several teams of Yuan Jun with torches passed by them!
The east and west of the city were flickering with firelight, reflecting the outer perimeter of this huge city as if it were day.
A "jingling" sound came into Yuan Xu's ears.
Not far ahead, a large group of people are busy digging the ground!
After staying in the army for more than a month, Yuan Xu knew that it was the digging battalion digging a tunnel to the inner city.
Before he could get closer, a short man in the general's armor greeted him!
Yuan Xu is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his body has not yet fully grown, but after coming to this era, he has exercised his physique diligently, but the general who greeted him was half a head shorter than him.
This person has a sharp chin, a pair of eyes as small as beans, and two whiskers on his lips like Yuan Tan.
His beard is much thinner than Yuan Tan's mustache, and it looks a little messy due to neglect, much like the eight-pronged beard of a mouse.
Just looking at the contours of his face, this person looks like a humanoid mouse walking upright!
"Who's up ahead?" Stopping Yuan Xu and the others, the short general asked.
"A certain is Yuan Xu!" Clenched his fists and arched at the other party, Yuan Xu beckoned: "General Li Zhi is digging a secret passage?" ”
Li Zhi was the general of the digging battalion under Yuan Shao, and he was temporarily transferred to act under Yuan Tan, but he also knew Yuan Xu.
The digging battalion is engaged in tasks such as drilling holes or building walls and high platforms, and Li Zhi's honor also complements what he does!
"It turned out to be a young man!" After returning the salute and looking at Yuan Xu, Li Zhi asked in surprise, "How did the son become like this?" It was dark, and it really scared the general! ”
"On the orders of the eldest brother, he set fire to the city during the siege, so it is so!" In reply, Yuan Xu looked at the soldiers who were digging the ground.
His answer couldn't help but make Li Zhi mutter in his heart.
If you set fire to the city gate, it will be like charcoal, and if you set fire to the city, it will not be directly baked......
With his mind churning, Li Zhi couldn't help but despise Yuan Xu a little.
has always looked down on the Huotou Army, and he preconceived that Yuan Xu and the others were so dark because they couldn't do things and made a mess in the arson!
Yuan Xu does not have a high status in the army, after all, he is also Yuan Shao's son.
Li Zhi's heart slandered but would not be revealed, and he pointed at the soldiers of the digging battalion who were digging the tunnel and said: "If you don't give up, the last general will accompany your son to see the secret road?" ”
"The secret path is a clever technique, and I want to ask the general for advice!" Without refusal, Yuan Xu gestured: "General, please!" ”
was a little polite, not wanting this concubine to really climb up along the pole, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart.
is busy directing the digging battalion to dig the tunnel leading to the inner city, how can he have time to accompany this idle man in front of him?
However, the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to regret it, so Li Zhi had to accompany Yuan Xu to the side of the road where a big pit had been dug.
The soldiers of the digging battalion dug out a deep pit and made a horizontal gap in the side of the pit.
In the cold night wind, a few soldiers in single clothes waved shovels and threw the dirt from the pit onto the side of the road.
Others were busy carrying the dirt away.
On the side of the horizontal notch, two pieces of wood support the top to prevent collapse, and above the wood, a thin beam is horizontally crossed.
The soil is not very compact, and the digging battalion is an expert who is good at drilling holes, standing on the edge of the pit, Yuan Xu watched the passage quickly show its outline......
