In the critical moment, Xuan Gong showed a strong desire to survive and jumped into the ditch in front of him without hesitation.
The soldiers who were one step slower than him were immediately riddled with wounds from the gravel.
After Xuan Gong fell into the deep ditch, the loud noise continued, as if there was thunder in the ground and the whole earth was shaking.
There were about ten rings in total, and then the movement stopped. Xuan Gong lay on the ground holding his head, shaking.
After a long while, the sound of horse hooves was heard, followed immediately by the sound of fighting.
He stood up in a hurry and was about to climb up from the earth steps. Suddenly, he saw something falling from above.
With a pop, the thing landed a foot away in front of him, but it was a corpse.
The corpse was wearing white armor and was the deputy general who had mocked him before.
Not long after, corpses fell from above from time to time, most of them were corpses of Koreans.
Xuangong didn't understand yet, but the Tang army had already rushed in, and a fight was going on above them.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided not to go up for the time being. He wiped some blood from some dead soldiers and wiped it on his face. Then he leaned against the ditch with his eyes wide open, becoming a 'corpse'.
About two hours later, the sky was completely dark, and the sound of fighting above completely disappeared.
Xuangong suddenly thought of something, and quickly came to a Tang army soldier, about to take off his armor.
Just halfway through, the Tang Army soldier suddenly opened his eyes, put a hand on his arm, and hissed: "Brother, I...may not be able to make it...please help me tell my brother...take care of your parents!"
Xuan Gong hurriedly asked in Tang dialect: "What is your brother's name?"
"Sun...Rong..." As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier loosened his grip and breathed his last breath.
Xuangong continued to take off his clothes and armor and put them on himself, then straightened his helmet and mustered up the courage to walk up the earthen steps.
He decided to get out.
However, as soon as he reached the bottom of the earthen steps, he saw a sudden burst of fire coming from above.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a group of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty were walking down the earthen steps. Xuangong was frightened and frightened, so he fell down and lay on the ground again.
The soldiers of the Tang Army heard the noise and came over vigilantly. After discovering that he was wearing Tang Army armor, they hurriedly helped him up. A Tang soldier shouted: "Brother, brother, are you okay?"
Xuan Gong closed his eyes and said nothing, even his breathing stopped.
The Tang soldier lay on his chest, listened, and shouted: "There is still a heartbeat, send him to the wounded barracks quickly!"
Xuan Gong cursed secretly: "Damn it, what are you doing with such careful inspection? Can't you treat me like a corpse?"
The Tang soldier seemed to be an officer. As soon as he finished speaking, the two people behind him responded and stepped forward to lift him up and walk up the earthen steps.
Other Tang troops continued to inspect the deep ditch.
Xuan Gong took a sneak look and found that these Tang soldiers would step forward to check if they encountered Tang Dynasty soldiers. If they encountered Goryeo soldiers, they would stab them in the heart.
He couldn't help but feel lucky that he was smart. If he hadn't changed into Tang armor, he might have been unable to escape the fate of being hit.
After being carried out of the ditch, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the situation outside. He saw that the ditch was full of Tang troops holding torches. If he came up alone, he would be caught and interrogated, and he might not be able to escape death.
.
The wounded soldiers camp was outside the city wall, and a group of Tang troops stood under the city wall, each holding a torch.
Seeing the appearance of the city wall at this time, Xuan Gong was dumbfounded.
The north wall of this city is completely in ruins, the west wall has completely collapsed, and there are four two-foot-wide holes on the east side, as if someone hit the wall four times with a two-foot giant hammer.
Damn it, no wonder the Tang Army cavalry came in, the question is how did they do it?
Ah, yes, it must be related to the loud noise just now.
But what exactly is that sound? Could it be that the commander of the Tang army knows the magic of demons?
While thinking hard, Xuan Gong was taken to the wounded soldiers camp outside the city.
There were not many wounded soldiers in the camp, which shows that the Tang army won easily.
It's no wonder that under the circumstances at that time, the Goryeo soldiers were probably frightened and could not resist.
Not long after I lay down on the wooden bed, I looked around and saw that there were more than a dozen wooden beds in the camp, and there were seven or eight Tang soldiers.
One of the tall and thin Tang soldiers came over to him with a pamphlet in his hand and asked: "Brother, which army are you from?"
Xuan Gong was shocked and whispered: "I...I am the younger brother of General Sun Rong."
The tall and thin Tang Bing frowned and thought for a moment, then asked: "Are you talking about Captain Sun Rong under General Hou Lang?"
"Yes, that's him!" Xuan Gong said hurriedly.
The tall and thin Tang Bing nodded, made a note on the booklet, and said, "Just wait, we will send someone to Sun Xiaowei's camp to verify it first."
Damn it, you still need to verify such a trivial matter? Xuan Gong cursed in his heart, and after the Tang Bing left, he hurriedly got up and prepared to escape.
At this moment, a tall Tang soldier strode into the wounded barracks, holding a head in his hand, and shouted: "Damn it, you people in the wounded barracks are having sex, and a Korean soldier sneaked in."
, show me carefully!"
A Tang soldier who was bandaging the wounded man's wounds suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "Qi Laosan, our wounded barracks is only responsible for treating wounded soldiers. The detection of spies is originally under your patrol battalion's jurisdiction. What are you talking about here?"
"
Qi Laosan snorted and said, "I'm just reminding you." He picked up the head and turned around to leave.
Xuan Gong took back his feet that had been stuffed into his shoes. His face was pale. If he went out, he would definitely die. If he stayed, he would not be able to survive. He was despairing in his heart.
Not long after, the tall and thin Tang Jun came back with a gloomy look on his face.
Xuan Gong thought to himself: "It's over, it's over, the secret is exposed, I'm going to die!"
After the tall and thin Tang Jun approached, he looked at him coldly for a while, then suddenly sighed and said: "Brother Sun, please forgive me."
"What, what's wrong?" Xuan Gong said tremblingly.
"When your brother Sun Rong entered the city, he was accidentally hit by a loose stone on the city wall and was killed."
"This...this...how could this happen!" Xuan Gong shouted, his expression instantly turning to grief: "Brother, you died so miserably!"
The tall and thin soldier looked at him for a while, then suddenly frowned again.
Xuan Gong had been quietly paying attention to his expression, and immediately stopped crying and said, "What, what's wrong?"
The tall and thin soldier asked doubtfully: "You look to be in your forties, right? Is Sun Rong really your brother?"
Xuan Gong was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "I look old. I've always done this since I was a child. My parents call me little old man. In fact, I'm only in my twenties this year. Do you have scissors? If you cut off your beard, it should look like...
It will be better."
The tall and thin soldier nodded and said: "According to the practice of our Zuowu Army, if your brother dies, you can choose to join the Guards. Are you willing?"
"Yes, of course I do! Please let me join the Guards!" Xuan Gong nodded hurriedly. If he returned to his original army, he would be recognized instantly. If he could join the new army, he would not need to take the risk of escaping.
The tall and thin soldier sighed: "I really envy you. I can stay with the general in the future. Maybe I can see the sky-shattering thunder with my own eyes in the future."
"Thunder?" Xuan Gong asked curiously.
"You don't know?" the tall, thin soldier asked.
"I know! Of course I know. Isn't it the Thunder Thunder? That's the one, I heard someone say it!" Xuan Gong said impatiently.
The tall and thin soldier smiled and said: "Haha, why are you so excited? This is just a name that has just been circulated by everyone. It's normal if you don't know. I said brother, are you in the original team?
Are you excluded?"
Xuan Gong scolded this man to death in his heart, and said with a bitter smile: "Oh, I won't mention it anymore..."
The tall and thin soldier patted his shoulder and said sternly: "You are injured, so how about I go help you with the matter of joining the Guards?"
The anger in Xuan Gong's heart suddenly disappeared, and he thanked him sincerely: "Brother, thank you very much!"
The tall and thin soldier waved his hand and was about to leave. Xuan Gong hurriedly grabbed him and asked: "Brother, what is the outcome of our battle? You know, I was injured, so..."
The tall and thin soldier raised his head and said: "No need to ask, of course we won a great victory. Except for the Goryeo general named Lebo who fled with five thousand people, the rest of the Goryeo army was annihilated by us!"
"Le Bo ran away?" Xuan Gong said in surprise.
"Yes, that Korean is quite powerful. He was on the city wall at that time. The Koreans on other walls were frightened by the thunder. Only he was different. He ran down from the city wall and ordered the Koreans to resist.
If it weren’t for this guy, our casualties would probably be smaller!”
Speaking of this, the tall and thin soldier said suspiciously: "Brother, aren't you injured? You should be at the front? Didn't you see it?"
"How could I not have seen it!" Xuan Gong slapped his thigh and said, "I was injured by that bastard! Damn it, if I touch him again, I will definitely kill him!"
"Brother, good job, I'll go help you with something!" The tall and thin soldier smiled, reincarnated and left the camp.
Xuan Gong calmed down, put his hands behind his head, looked at the ceiling, and thought:
"That boy Le Bo screamed loudly, but he was no match for the Tang Army. Even he was like this, not to mention the others. The Goryeo Kingdom is over. If I stay in the Tang Army's camp like this, I might be able to live longer.
