Chapter 345: Digging the Tunnel

The guard snorted, as if it was a fierce beast out of the cage, and the ferocity came to his face.

On the tower of the city gate of the great shore. The "Zhang" flag is hung high and moves with the wind. A large number of soldiers stood on the city, either in armor or in battle jackets, with serious faces.

These Han soldiers have been training for some time. It's no longer a recruit's egg that can be rubbed at will.

Between these warriors, there were many weapons piled up to defend the city. Bundles of arrows, piles of stones, and so on.

Listening to the shouts of the guards, the soldiers invariably cast their eyes on Zhang Bu standing in front of the city gate.

Zhang Bu is neatly draped, standing with a knife, and his body is straight, like a javelin, straight into the sky. His face was cold, and after listening to Wei Xiang's words, his expression did not change at all.

Fighter?

He had heard of Wei Xiang's reputation for a long time.

He's not crazy, how can he go and fight with the guard.

Even though the Lord should not fight, it will not be good. But because Wei Xiang was a female general, he was called by a female general, and Zhang Bu did not respond.

The soldiers were indeed disappointed, and their morale dropped slightly.

The undergarment was also disappointed.

"Zhang Bu. I think you just changed your name to Lu Bu. That might give you courage. The guard sneered, tightened the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and went back to the camp.

"Captain Wei. Don't care. We are not trying to attack the big city of Jiangxian, but just a feint. "The dragon is also neatly draped, and the sword stands under the camp gate. He looked up and comforted him.

"Thank you Captain Long for your concern, I didn't care." The guard turned over and dismounted, handed the horse lance to the soldiers on the side, and took off the helmet and hugged it to his chest.

"How's the heavy siege equipment being assembled?" Wei Xiang looked up and saw that the craftsmen were busy and couldn't help asking.

"It went well. We should be able to storm the city tomorrow morning. ”

Long Ji glanced back, a slight smile on his face.

"Hmm." Wei Yu nodded, and entered the camp gate with Long Ji. The guards immediately closed the camp gate.

Nothing to say for a day. Early the next morning. Wu Nianjun's soldiers began to bury the pot and make rice. After the soldiers had eaten and drunk, they rested for a while, and the heavy siege equipment was assembled.

"Woo woo woo !!!"

"Knock Knock Knock !!"

With the melodious sound of trumpets and the rousing sound of war drums. The guard, who was in charge of taking the lead, turned on her horse and rode out of the camp gate with her horse lance in hand, and when the soldiers and horses were neatly arranged, she pointed her horse lance at the city wall and shouted, "Break this city." ”

"Kill !!!"

The soldiers did not hesitate, and roared to the sound of drums and trumpets. Pushing the siege equipment, he headed for the city.

Or in front of the city gate tower. Zhang Bu pulled out the steel knife at his waist and raised it, shouting, "Hold the city." When General Jin returns, everyone will be rewarded. ”

..........

The soldiers of Beishan Fort poured out to attack Jiang County. It immediately attracted the eyes of all the people in Yingqing Mansion.

No one doubts that this is a feint.

A plan to secretly cross Chen Cang.

Jiang County is a big city, hoarding a large amount of grain, grass and baggage. If Wu Nianjun can break through Jiang County, then he will be able to obtain a large number of supplies, and his momentum will be as good as the sky.

It is of great significance to conquer this city.

In fact, the plan of Wu Nian and others is actually Dingxian.

The county is neither economically prosperous nor strategically important, it is an ordinary small city.

But it is not easy to attack this city head-on.

Morning.

The gate of Dingxian County is open, and people enter and leave the city from time to time.

Near the center of the city, there is a [Zhou Mansion]. It is the mansion of Commander Zhou Dingyuan who is stationed here.

Zhou Dingyuan was originally a fugitive soldier and did not enjoy a few days of happiness. was recruited by Meng Yuanren as a thousand commanders all of a sudden, which is a bit top.

bought this mansion, which is considered to be the top in Dingxian, and accepted five concubines in a row, not to mention how comfortable life is.

However, he did not slack off, leading troops and practicing martial arts every day, all of which were decent.

Inside the gazebo. Zhou Dingyuan sat shirtless on a stone bench, and in his arms sat Gangna's concubine Liu.

In front of him was a strong man kneeling on one knee.

Zhou Dingyuan showed a playful look on his face, and waved his hand to let the strong man who reported the news leave.

"It's worthy of Wu Nian of Beishan Fort. He chose to attack Jiang County, and he had the courage. Zhou Dingyuan pinched the wine glass on the stone table and drank it happily.

"It's just right. Let Zhang Bu worry about it. I'm safe here. Zhou Dingyuan laughed, and stretched out his hand to swim around Liu's body like a snake in his arms, which made Liu's coquettish laughter.

.........

At night, in the dead of night.

Tie Niu and Zhang Jin led five elite soldiers of 100 households, holding digging tools, to the northeast corner of the city.

About two hundred meters from the city, they stopped.

There are torches lit on the city walls, and you can clearly see people patrolling and standing guard, and if you get closer, you will be in danger of being discovered.

"Two hundred meters away. We have about three hours to dig the tunnel. Time is of the essence. ”

"If we are discovered, we will not have a second chance."

Zhang Jin's face was a little solemn.

They are located in the middle of nowhere, and in the dead of night, no one will notice them. But in the daytime it's different.

With such a big hole in the ground and a pile of dirt, everyone knows that they are digging a tunnel.

"Let's do it right away." Tie Niu was a little more straightforward and greeted the soldiers.

The shirtless soldiers, armed with large shovels, immediately began to dig. The soil here in Dingxian is very loose, and the progress of excavation is very fast.

Every time they advanced a certain distance, the soldiers would be fixed with planks and pillars that had been prepared long ago to prevent collapse.

Under the soldiers' non-stop digging for a second. Finally, in two and a half hours, more than 200 meters were dug through.

It's only about half an hour before dawn.

"A quarter of an hour's rest." Zhang Jin looked at the sky, and then at the soldiers who were sweating and panting because of digging tunnels, and decided to take a rest.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly. A group of soldiers with large shovels went down the tunnel first and opened the way in front. Immediately, Zhang Jin and Tie Niu led all the men and horses into the tunnel.

This battle is very dangerous. If their tunnel operations are discovered, the city is prepared and ambushes are blocked near the exit.

If they don't say that the whole army will be annihilated, at least they will pay a considerable price.

Soon. The soldiers in front reached the end of the tunnel, and they took shovels and began to dig diagonally upwards.

"Boom".

As the earth fell, the tunnel was dug through. Zhang Jin and Tie Niu immediately pulled out the steel knife on their waists and rushed out first.

"Ah!!h

The woman's screams rang out.

Zhang Jin and Tie Niu's eyes flashed, although they were shocked, they were not chaotic. Hurriedly opened his eyes.
