The first thing Fu Youde saw was not a soldier, but a corpse.

The highest part of the tunnel was only one person high, and the width was only enough for two people to stand side by side, and four or five corpses were piled up in one place, blocking the road tightly. Fu Youde clenched his short gun and walked closer. There are torches inserted in the two walls, and with the help of light, you can see clearly. The corpses were not all Haidong soldiers. More than half of them were wearing the armor of the Yuan army. It is expected that it should be the two sides fighting on the front line, and it is suspected that the death is in the way. Therefore, whether it is one's own people or enemies, they are all pulled to the back.

Although passing by the man who had just come out of the cave to ask for help, the corpses were a little loosely squeezed. But it is still not conducive to the passage of the brigade. You have to sort it out before you can move forward.

The thirty people who entered the cave before, in addition to supporting the front, also had a task, which was to tidy up the passage. There are two ways to tidy up the passage, one is to drag the body out, and the other is to temporarily place it on the spot. At certain intervals in the tunnel, there are holes in the walls that have been dug in advance. If the battle is too fierce and the corpse has no time to drag out, it can also be placed in it first. Although the hole in the wall is not large, it is still possible to put two or three corpses upright.

When the thirty people who had entered the cave before cleared the road, Fu Youde squeezed through them. The soldiers knew him and knew him as the messenger of the king of Han. However, when Deng She sent him down the tunnel, the soldiers were already in the cave. At this time, seeing him dressed in a short beat, squeezing away, I couldn't help but be at a loss and wondered, and I couldn't guess why he also came down to the ground.

Fu Youde squeezed forward and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan ordered that this underground fight will be fought with me as the main general. He took the token given by Dunsher and showed it to everyone to watch. When everyone saw it, they all said: "Only the general is looking forward." "That being said, it was purely due to Dunshe's military orders. Fu Youde is an outsider, but why did he suddenly become the main general underground? Why? These soldiers are all arrogant and fierce, and there must still be some who are not convinced.

Fu Youde only did not see it. In troubled times, the lord chooses the minister, and the minister is also the lord. He has always been conceited of his talents, but he has changed three lords in a row, and he cannot be reused. When he was under Li Xixi at the earliest, it was quite good. Breaking through the pass and entering Shuzhong, it is often the crown of the army. However, Li Xi was happy and defeated, and returned to Ming Yuzhen. Ming Yuzhen suspected that it could not be used. Hearing that Chen Youliang was a hero, he switched to Jiangdu again. Who knows, although Chen Youliang has the title of hero, he is often suspicious because of his background. Moreover, Chen Youliang favored the generals in the account, the three kings and the five kings, all of whom were his own brothers; Zhang Dingbian, Zhang Bixian, etc., are also righteous brothers. When he defected to the Western Han Dynasty, Fu Youde was still just a small general guarding the city, and he didn't see a future.

Empty letter, cloth bravery, stumbling under the people. The so-called "Huai Cai does not meet", this is the case. Moreover, when the world was in turmoil, when the heroes were fighting hard, people who looked inferior to him changed one by one, as if Zhu Ziyi was expensive. All kinds of things, how can you not make him complain!

There is even one, Ding Pulang, who guards Xiaogu Mountain with him, is Zhao Pusheng's old department. Since Chen Youliang killed Zhao Pusheng a few years ago, Ding Pulang has often complained and is very dissatisfied with this. Both of them have courage, are like-minded to each other, and in private, they also communicate with each other. They all had the idea of casting another name for the Lord. Bordering Chen Youliang is Zhu Yuanzhang. It's a pity that the little lonely mountain they are fighting is not on the border between the two countries. Therefore, despite the repeated like-mindedness, it is helpless and inconvenient.

already had a different heart, and this time it was even more wrong. Chen Youliang suddenly sent him and Meng Youde to Yidu together. At the beginning, Fu Youde didn't think too much about it. He didn't know anything about Dunshe. Deng She has always been far away in Haidong, and although his reputation is also in the south of the Yangtze River, there are almost no people who are familiar with him across the sea. I don't know what this person looks like, who would rush to defect? Fu Youde is no exception.

However, Tsakhan suddenly laid siege to the city. As the battle progressed, Dunshe's heroic spirit of commanding the enemy was revealed. The scene of the drumming at the head of the city, Guo Conglong going out of the city and rushing into battle, made the spectators all excited. So, naturally, it aroused Fu Youde's interest.

With the help of his position as deputy envoy of the mission, Fu Youde repeatedly came into contact with the officials and gentry in the city. The understanding of Dunsher gradually deepened. He found that no matter whether they are virtuous or foolish, and whether they are descendants of Haidong or not, everyone's views on Deng She may be different in details, but they have one thing in common, which is extremely distinct, that is, he praised Deng She for "loving the virtuous and the virtuous, treating others as himself, and pushing his heart into his heart".

Soon after, he found out that Chen Youtou, who guarded Tai'an, Gao Yanshi, who guarded Taishan, Liu Qi, who guarded Jinan, and the step-ancestor who left the city to go to the southeast a few days ago, and even Monk Li in the city at this time, were not Deng She's descendants! Fu Youde was surprised. It's just that it's not a descendant, and what surprised him even more was that these generals who were not from the descendant were willing to obey Deng She's deployment order. Tai'an has not lost it so far, Jinan has not lost it, and Mount Tai has not lost it. This cannot be described as "surprised", it is simply "shocking". King Yan won souls, so much!

"Love the virtuous and the virtuous, regard others as yourself, and push the heart into the belly", it is true that it is not deceitful.

Therefore, Fu Youde had an idea. But it's too early to bring it up. He secretly decided, and waited for the battle of Yidu to be decided, and then said. If Haidong is defeated, everything should be left unsaid, and the encirclement will be highlighted. But if Haidong wins, then defeating Chahan will be enough to prove Deng She's strength. Maybe we can think about something else?

In fact, the reason why he was willing to volunteer and enter the tunnel was precisely because of this consideration. "Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family". Only by showing his martial arts first, can he make a decision on the spot.

The narrow tunnels make it difficult for people to breathe. The damp rustic smell, mixed with the smell of blood, penetrated through the mask and rushed into the nose. This is the first time Fu Youde has gone down into the tunnel to fight, and in the direction where the shouting of killing came from in front of him, he has a deep foot and a shallow foot, and runs quickly. I accidentally touched the wall of the ground and fell a lot of dirt.

The torches on the hole, the light dimmed. Dozens of people breathed dullly, and the echo of their footsteps echoed far and near. The narrow road that I walked quickly fell into darkness, and the road was winding in front of meow. In order to avoid places where there is a lot of groundwater accumulation, the tunnel is slightly tortuous. turned a corner, and the fight appeared in front of him.

Most of the soldiers who came down in the first batch have been killed, and only about a dozen people remain. Divided into two groups. The lifting plank in front was used to block the advance of the Yuan army. The one in the back puts the spear into a small hole in the plank and stabs forward. Along the small hole, there is also smoke from the exhaust duct. Although there was not much smoke and there was a mask to cover it, Fu Youde suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe.

More than a dozen soldiers fought with their heads bored, their spirits highly concentrated, and they did not know that reinforcements had arrived. From time to time, some people shouted and cursed, and the sound echoed in the tunnel, deafening. Dirt, dust, and sand fell vigorously one by one.

I don't know how many people there are on the other side, and they seem to have brought something like a mallet, and they hit the plank violently one after another. There were also people who used weapons such as axes and broadswords, and they also chopped at the planks one after another. Every time he hit the ground and every time he slashed the ground, he used all his strength to hit the Haidong soldiers straight back.

There are also extremely fierce ones, grabbing the spears that have been pierced out of the small holes in the board, and dragging them back. The purpose is not to grab weapons, but to fight for small holes. As long as they snatch the small hole, they will not be in a position of being passively beaten, and they can also assassinate the Haidong soldiers. Occasionally, the planks will be knocked crooked. Then another pawn seized the opportunity and stabbed the Haidong soldier with a spear, thus exposing the outer foot. This is usually accompanied by a cry of pain.

After a long time of impact and chopping, cracks have appeared in the iron-clad wooden planks that are nearly a foot thick. It is a loss that the ground cannot be set on fire, otherwise, it will be difficult to hold on to it until now with only this plank.

A Haidong officer who looked like a nine-man commander shouted, "The Tartars have blocked the exhaust pipe again!" Cut off another section of the tube! The planks retreated. "Someone reopened the smoke exhaust pipe behind a section of the board, and before the smoke could come out, the soldier holding the baffle withdrew. Fu Youde watched from the side for a long time, commanded and ordered reinforcements, caught the planks, and replaced the soldiers who were almost exhausted. He also inserted the short gun into his waist, leaned in front of the board, half-crouched down, and shouted, "Push forward!" ”

The military discipline in the Deng She army is very strict, especially these old soldiers, and it is almost impossible to obey orders. didn't think much about it at all, and in a hurry, he didn't even react to the idea that Fu Youde was actually not his own person, and the soldier holding the board answered the order, shouted loudly, and moved forward with all his might.

They hold the focus of the board, in the lower middle position, and when they exert force, the board will inevitably tilt forward. Fu Youde's eyes were quick, and as soon as the bottom of the board left the ground, he reached out and grabbed the ankle of a pawn. Pull back with all your might. The pawn was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.

He shouted, "The board goes up!" The soldier withstood the impact of the pawn, gritted his teeth, and the green tendons on his arms and neck burst out, barely holding the board a little higher. Fu Youde didn't give the pawn a chance to struggle, and pulled into the board. Throw it back, understated, and said, "Cut!" ”

"Puff puff", a few muffled sounds. The pawn died tragically on the spot. This time, there were more reinforcements coming down the tunnel, and there were still free men, so they did not panic, and then dragged them aside, so as not to obstruct the road.

And so on, fight and retreat. Every time the pawn blocked a section of the air duct, they stepped back a little. After almost twenty or thirty steps back, there was a "bang" sound, and the plank finally shattered. The plank was caught off guard, and the one that hit the plank was unexpected. The soldiers on both sides fought for a long time, and finally they were able to witness each other's true faces. Behind the planks, smoke filled. Soon they were all surrounded in the middle. After a brief pause, only the smoke could be heard, colliding, stabbing, shouting, and the sound of killing suddenly resumed.

Fu Youde took the lead. He took out two short guns and knealed himself into the enemy line. The smoke grew thicker, and the light of the torches was extinguished. Irritated, his eyes watered down in his eyes. Just close your eyes. Anyway, there are enemies in front of you. Guns in the flesh.

The armor he wore was far better than that of his soldiers. At the same time, he hears the wind and distinguishes the sound, and he is flexible. The skilled people are bold and are not afraid of the pawns to cut and kill. Turning sideways one after another, avoiding the short spears of three or four pawns, the short spear on the right side was raised, and he held a long axe that had been chopped, and stabbed forward with his left hand, hitting the enemy in the lower abdomen.

Don't pull it out first, stir it inside.

Warm blood trickled down his hand, and a piece of slimy, slippery stuff wrapped around the tip of the gun. It's not the enemy's intestines! Dragged out, regardless of its screams and screams, flew up with a kick and kicked it down. It was dark underneath, and the smoke was billowing out, only the blood that splashed from time to time added a little warmth and brightness.

At the entrance of the tunnel, Deng She listened carefully.

Hong Jixun asked, "How?" ”

"It seems that the Tartar broke the baffle. The two fell into a scuffle. The poison is too strong, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fight for a long time. The herald, the cave is lit, ready to cast. Send people down to the tunnel and make Fu Youde and the others retreat. ”

At first, the Yuan army was far away from the entrance of the cave, and it was useless to set fire. At this point, the cave is approaching and can be set on fire. Deng She originally had a plan, wanting to wait for the Yuan army to be repulsed, and then rush into their camp along the tunnel to kill for a while, but now it seems unlikely. Ji Zongzhou exclaimed: "The poisonous smoke was personally deployed by Cui Yu, and the minister has also tried the power, and it is very good!" I really didn't expect that the Yuan army would be able to hold on until now. ”

The north wind swept the people's clothes, the walls were high, and the sky was overcast.

Deng She turned his eyes to look at the corpses of the Haidong soldiers who had just been dragged out of the tunnel. All are incomplete. He said: "It's not that our army is not good at fighting, but the Yuan army is too fierce. After all, it is "listening to the ground", and it is not very real to hear, only the sound of weapons colliding and fighting and shouting can be faintly heard. And so on. Thinking about the underground fighting, I don't know how tragic it is!

He asked Hong Jixun, "Another tunnel, how did you dig it?" ”

Fu Youde became more and more courageous the more he fought. Although because of the thick smoke, I can't see left and right clearly. But he could also feel that Haidong's soldiers seemed to be getting fewer and fewer. And the enemy on the opposite side shouted and screamed. The corresponding pressure is also increasing. Moreover, not only did the pawns have guns and axes, but also the musketeers. Although he wears fine armor, the release of the firearm at close range is still very threatening. Fortunately, the smoke has not yet cleared. The pawn firecracker couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, and only fired a shot at the top of the cave as if demonstrating.

Fu Youde thought to himself: "Today, I took the initiative to ask for help, to show my martial bravery. If you retreat at this time, all your previous efforts will be wasted. And looking at the words and deeds of King Yan, these days, he also has some meaning to win over me. It is expected that we will not be left behind. Again, Yan Wang is smart and wise, and he must have a back hand. Then he rushed and killed for a while, waited for the order, and then retreated not too late. ”

Close hand-to-hand combat, the most depleting weapon. Moreover, although the armor of the Yuan Pawn is not very good, there are many people who wear heavy armor. Two short guns, the one who had already been assassinated was broken. Changing the halberd on his waist, Fu Youde didn't care about the less and less changes in the robes around him, and he fought arrogantly, not retreating.

The pawn he killed, after a short time, accumulated nearly one person high, and blocked the road again. Fu Youde was impatient to wait for the pawn to clean up the passage, and kicked the small corpse mountain away with a few kicks, but two or three corpses at the bottom could not be kicked away, he jumped up, jumped on it, and shouted: "Suzhou Fu Youde is here!" Not afraid of the dead, you can come and fight. ”

Although he can't open his eyes, he tramples on the corpse of the enemy, holds a short halberd, and his eyebrows are all erect, and he is majestic. The power of the shouting blew away a little bit of the smoke. The pawns on the opposite side retreated in unison, all shocked. They couldn't open their eyes, and they couldn't see Fu Youde's appearance clearly, but the full murderous aura and indomitable pride could be felt without opening their eyes.

Many people said in horror: "I heard that Han'er Jia Yong will go out of the city, but I didn't expect that there are still fierce generals in the city!" "Two or three breaths, no one dares to take a step forward.

Dunshe's herald arrived and instructed them to retreat. Fu Youde didn't leave immediately, shouting: "You retreat first, and I'll wait with you later!" "Jump off the ground and lunge forward. Reluctantly, he opened his eyes a slit, threw out his left halberd, and hit the forehead of the most advanced enemy on the opposite side, piercing the back of his head. And then they fell.

Fu Youde strode to follow, stepped over his corpse, wrapped his left arm, and caught the spear of the enemy behind him. Underground warfare, with many short weapons. The same is true of the Yuan Pawn. The spear was only more than an arm's length, and Fu Youde clamped it, which was equivalent to touching the enemy's face. The halberd in his right hand was raised and pierced into his neck. When he pulled it out, blood gushed out. The pawn also fell to the ground.

Fu Youde is brave and moves forward. The tunnel can accommodate two people side by side, and further on, two enemies stand side by side, standing in one place. They couldn't see it, but they heard Fu Youde coming. Hurriedly raised the short spear, protected the figure, and stabbed with nothingness.

Fu Youde's eyes were open for so long, he couldn't stand it, so he had to close it again, relying on the armor, and hit the short spear directly. One grazed his ribs and stabbed him in the ribs, while the other stabbed him in the shoulder blades, failing to penetrate deeply, but also painful. He stretched out his left hand, grabbed the arm of the pawn on the right, dragged it horizontally, bent down slightly, and the halberd pierced into the crotch of the pawn from the bottom to the top, and sank into the handle.

The man screamed and fell to the ground. Fu Youde relied on his feelings, raised his foot, and crushed and kicked his face. Within two blows, he kicked his nose bone and plunged it into his brain, killing him in an instant. The halberd in his right hand was not available to take it out, so he pulled it up the cave wall, touched the torch, dragged it down, and held it in his hand. Split his head and cover his face and hit the body of another pawn. Dotted around his pigtail hanging on the side of his head, he jumped and jumped as it burned, and screamed. He then took off another halberd from his waist and stabbed him in the jaw. Killed.

The whole process is just a breath of effort. killed one person in one step, and Fu Youde killed four people in a row. Laugh, turn around and run. At this time, the remaining Haidong soldiers had already gone away. The roads are clear. Fu Youde ran along the cave wall, stopped for a while, and threw the halberd into one of the chasing pawns.

The smoke gradually thins out. Even if he is fierce and brave, he has been infected by poisonous smoke for a long time, and he can't support it. Run to the entrance of the cave. The entrance to the cave is like a well. A large basket tied with rope hangs down. He tumbled into it, and the soldiers above him pulled him up with all their might.

The air outside the cave was crisp. Fu Youde was bored for a long time and breathed heavily. It's like a different world. A soldier brought the antidote soup, he caught it, raised his head and poured it. Hearing Hong Jixun's order: "Set fire." He tentatively opened his eyes and saw bundles of firewood being thrown into the cave by the soldiers.

Deng She walked around to him, and a smile came into view. Deng She looked Fu Youde up and down, and saw that his armor was covered with blood, his face and hands were also bloodstained, but there was no injury on his body, and he couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "Southern husband, really heroic!" The courage of the general, the crown of the three armies! ”

Outside the city in the distance, there was a loud bang. Fu Youde was startled and asked, "What is this?" Deng She didn't think about it, and replied: "Mr. Hong has dug a hole and collapsed the soil and mountain of Chahan. Before the words fell, the soldiers at the head of the city screamed again and again, and Deng She smiled and said: "It's nothing more than a mountain of earth collapsed, why should the head of the city be surprised?" ”

The two centurions rushed down the city, knelt down in front of Deng She, hesitated, and said, "Your Highness, the Tartar outside the city hangs Liu Jue's head." ”
