Chapter 345: Digging Tunnels

Wei Ru roared, as if a wild beast had been released from its cage, with a fierce aura coming towards him.

On the tower of the majestic city gate, the banner with the word "Zhang" was hung high, moving with the wind. Large numbers of soldiers stood on the city, either wearing armor or wearing battle coats, with serious faces.

These Han soldiers have been training for a while. They are no longer just new recruits who can be rubbed at will.

Among these soldiers, there were many weapons for defending the city, bundles of arrows, piles of stones, etc.

Hearing Wei Ru's shout, the soldiers unanimously cast their eyes on Zhang Bu who was standing in front of the city gate tower.

Zhang Bu was neatly dressed, standing with his sword in hand, his body upright, like a javelin, thrust straight into the sky. His face was stern, and after listening to Wei Ru's words, his expression did not change at all.

Fighter?

He had already heard about Wei Ru's reputation.

It's not like he's crazy, how could he fight with Wei Ru?

Although the general did not want to fight, nothing would happen. However, because Wei Ru was a female general and was called into battle by the female general, Zhang Bu did not accept the fight.

The soldiers were indeed disappointed and their morale dropped slightly.

Wei Ru was also disappointed.

"Zhang Bu. I think you should just change your name to Lu Bu. That might give you courage." Wei Ru mocked, tightened the reins of his horse, turned around and returned to the camp.

"Wei Xiaowei, don't worry. We are not going to attack the big city of Jiang County, we are just pretending to attack." Long Qie was also neatly dressed and stood under the camp gate with his sword in hand. He raised his head and comforted Wei Ru.

"Thank you Captain Long for your concern, I didn't care." Wei Ru turned over and dismounted, handed the horse to the soldier beside him, took off his helmet and held it to his chest.

"How is the assembly of the heavy siege equipment going?" Wei Ru looked up and saw that the craftsmen were busy and couldn't help but ask.

"It's going well. We should be able to attack the city tomorrow morning."

Long Qie looked back, with a slight smile on his face.

"Yes." Wei Ru nodded, and entered the camp gate with Long Qie. The guarding soldiers immediately closed the camp gate.

There was nothing to say for a day. Early the next morning, Wu Nianjun's soldiers began to make rice. After eating and drinking, the soldiers rested for a while, and the heavy siege equipment was assembled.

"Woooooo!!!!"

“Dong dong dong!!!”

Along with the melodious sound of horns and the sound of passionate war drums, Wei Ru, who was in charge of leading the battle, got on her horse and rode her horse out of the camp gate with a horse in hand. After the soldiers and horses were arranged in order, she pointed the horse at the city wall and shouted:

"Conquer this city."

"kill!!!!"

Without any hesitation, the soldiers roared to death amidst the sound of drums and horns. They pushed the siege equipment and headed towards the city.

Still in front of the city gate tower, Zhang Bu pulled out the steel sword from his waist, raised it, and shouted: "Guard the city. When General Jin comes back, everyone will be rewarded."

...........

The troops from Beishan Fort rushed out to attack Jiang County. They immediately attracted the attention of all interested people in Yingqing Mansion.

No one doubted that this was a feint.

A plan to cross Chencang secretly.

Jiangxian is a large city with a large amount of food, grass and luggage. If Wu Nian's army can conquer Jiangxian, they will be able to obtain a large amount of supplies and gain momentum.

Conquering this city is of great significance.

In fact, Wu Nian and others' plan was actually to Dingxian County.

This county town is neither economically prosperous nor a strategic location. It is an ordinary small town.

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

morning.

The gate of Dingxian City is open, and people come in and out of the city from time to time.

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

Zhou Dingyuan was originally a fugitive from the army and had not enjoyed a few days of good fortune. He was suddenly recruited by the Mongolian people as a captain of thousands, and he was a bit high-ranking.

I bought this top-notch mansion in Dingxian County, took in five concubines in a row, and lived a very comfortable life.

However, he did not slack off. He led troops and practiced martial arts on a daily basis, all in a satisfactory manner.

In the pavilion, Zhou Dingyuan sat shirtless on a stone stool, with Gangna's concubine Liu in his arms.

A strong man was kneeling on one knee in front of him.

Zhou Dingyuan had a look of amusement on his face and waved his hand to let the strong man who reported the news leave.

"As expected of Wu Nian from Beishan Fort. He actually chose to attack Jiang County, so courageous." Zhou Dingyuan picked up the wine glass on the stone table and drank it cleanly.

"It's just right. Let Zhang Bu worry about it. I'm safe here." Zhou Dingyuan laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and swam like a snake around Mrs. Liu's body in his arms, making Mrs. Liu smile sweetly.

.........

At night, it's quiet.

Tieniu and Zhang Jin led five elite warriors from one hundred households and came to the northeast corner of the city with digging tools.

They stopped about two hundred meters away from the city.

There are torches on the city wall, and you can clearly see people patrolling and standing guard. 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 tight."

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

Zhang Jin's face looked a little solemn.

Their location is relatively remote. No one would notice them in the dead of night. But it is different during the day.

With such a big hole in the ground and the accumulated soil, everyone knew they were digging a tunnel.

"Let's do it now." Tieniu was more straightforward and greeted the soldiers.

The shirtless soldiers holding big shovels immediately began digging. The soil here in Dingxian County is very loose, and the excavation progress was very fast.

Every time they advance a certain distance, the soldiers will fix it with wooden boards and pillars that have been prepared to prevent collapse.

The soldiers dug without stopping for a second. Finally, more than 200 meters were dug through in two and a half hours.

There is only about half an hour left before dawn.

"It's time to rest for a quarter of an hour." Zhang Jin looked at the sky, then at the soldiers who were sweating and panting from digging the tunnel, and decided to take a rest.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly. A group of soldiers holding large shovels descended into the tunnel first and opened the way ahead. Then Zhang Jin and Tieniu led all the troops into the tunnel.

This operation is very dangerous. If their underground operation is discovered, the city will be prepared and ambushes will be blocked near the exit.

Not only would their entire army be annihilated, they would at least pay a considerable price.

Soon, the soldiers in front reached the end of the tunnel. They took shovels and began to dig upward diagonally.

"Boom" sound.

As the soil fell, the tunnel was dug. Zhang Jin and Tieniu immediately took out the steel knife from their waists and rushed out at the lead.

"ah!!!"

A woman's scream sounded.
