Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 510: Digging into the City! (Thanks to book friend 2023…8877 for the two monthly tickets~)

The next day, when Xu Huang's army arrived.

Liu Xie and others looked at Xu Huang's soldiers whose morale was low.

There were even quite a few soldiers missing arms and legs... It was just shocking!
What kind of fierce battle did Xu Huang and his companions go through to become what they are now? !

One side of Xu Huang's armor had fallen off, but he still pulled himself together and knelt on one knee in front of Liu Xie:

"Your Majesty, I am late...

"Our army was blocked by the enemy's Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers, so I led 60,000 troops to force my way into the formation.

“We never imagined that there were a large number of mines buried in the stone formation, and our troops suffered heavy casualties from the explosion.

“Plus, the fog was thick, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed when they came out.

"On the way here, we were ambushed repeatedly by Wei Xu, Wen Pin, Zhu Huan, Dong Xi and others.

"We finally managed to fight our way out, but only about half of our troops were left, and many of them were seriously injured..."

After hearing Xu Huang's tragic experience, Liu Xie stepped forward to help Xu Huang up and said distressedly:

"My dear, you have suffered. It is enough that you have come here alive.

"This time I have seen how powerful the enemy's weapons are.

“I understand how much you have suffered.

"Once we capture Guzang City, I will definitely reward you and the soldiers of the three armies!"

Feeling the warmth from the emperor's tender palm, Xu Huang was filled with gratitude beyond words.

He nodded solemnly and said:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take this city for Your Majesty and avenge our dead brothers!"

Liu Xie said "hmm" and immediately invited Xu Huang to the central military tent.

I told the other party about my plan to enter the city through the tunnel tonight.

After Xu Huang learned about the plan, he immediately asked for battle:

"Your Majesty, please let me be the vanguard and charge into the city first!"

Liu Xie looked at Xu Huang who was expectant, but said worriedly:

“Although I really want to entrust this important task to the general.

"But we can't guarantee that the enemy won't see through our tricks.

“So the people who rush in first are most likely to be in danger.

"General Xu, can you send some soldiers to explore the way ahead first? After making sure there is no danger, then enter the city!"

Xu Huang shook his head slightly:

"Your Majesty, as a general, if you cannot lead by example, how can you get our soldiers to fight to the death?
"Although our army now has nearly 100,000 troops in total, its morale is quite low.

"Please allow me to lead the charge! Otherwise, the soldiers' combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced..."

Seeing Xu Huang's words, Liu Xie could only agree:

"Since the general has said so, I can't refuse.

“If you encounter danger, General, you must ensure your own safety!

"After all, I don't have many brave generals like you..."

After these words were spoken, most of the other generals looked ashamed.

Xu Huang's expression became more determined:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have thick skin and flesh, and I won't die so easily!"

In the following time, everyone made a more detailed plan on how to attack Guzang City.

Huangfu Song continued to lead an army of 60,000 to feign an attack, while Xu Huang led an army of 30,000 into the city through the tunnel.

By then, we will launch attacks both inside and outside the city at the same time, and will surely catch the enemy off guard!
Whether we can capture Guzang City depends on this one move!
That night.

After a day's rest, Wei Yan's mental state was obviously much better.

The enemy attacked for three consecutive days, but suddenly stopped today.

It should be just as Guo Jia guessed, the enemy has dug a tunnel under the city.

As long as we dig higher, we can directly enter the city!
Fortunately, Guo Jia saw through the enemy's intentions in advance. Otherwise, tens of thousands of troops suddenly appeared in the city, which would definitely catch them off guard!
By then, the enemy will join forces from both inside and outside, and our morale will be severely damaged, and it will be difficult to defend this city...

Fortunately, everything is ready now.

The enemy should attack from outside the city first.

Next, he only needed to guard the city tower, and leave the affairs within the city to Zhao Yun and Guo Jia.

When it came to the late night.

Wei Yan, who was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall and dozing off, was suddenly awakened by someone:

"General! There seems to be a figure moving in the darkness!"

Wei Yan immediately realized that the enemy should have approached.

He immediately ordered the army to prepare to defend the city.

Without waiting for the enemy to launch an attack, he ordered a catapult on the city wall to throw out two gunpowder cans.

When the two gunpowder cans fell to the ground, they immediately caused a deafening explosion!

As expected, amid the violent roar, the enemy's screams were heard!

The bright light also illuminated the figures of the surrounding enemy troops!
Huangfu Song in the rear saw that the enemy was actually prepared, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Was it that the enemy's surveillance was too close, or was it that we anticipated that they would attack tonight?
If it was the latter, then was it possible that the enemy could have guessed that they would dig tunnels?

Probably not...

Huangfu Song could only comfort himself in this way, and then ordered the army to launch an attack!

Since the enemy has already discovered them, there is no need to sneak over.

As the ground attack was launched.

At the same time, Xu Huang also led 30,000 troops into the tunnel which was three meters long and one and a half meters high.

After entering, no one lit torches.

After all, the air in the tunnel is thin, and it would be difficult to stay in it for a long time with a torch.

It's easy to die from poisoning or suffocation...

When everyone was approaching the city wall in the tunnel, they could clearly feel the sound of the earth shaking.

There was also the sound of gunpowder cans exploding on the ground.

As a result, mud falls from the tunnel from time to time, giving people a feeling that a landslide may occur at any time.

Fortunately, not everyone was resting during the day, and when the soldiers dug here, they used more wooden frames to support the place.

To prevent their actions tonight from being in vain.

In the gloomy and damp darkness, Xu Huang finally reached the end of the tunnel.

He immediately took a shovel from the soldier and started digging upwards with them.

At this moment, their location was about five or six meters above the ground.

With the joint efforts of all the soldiers, they soon dug to a place less than half a meter from the ground.

Xu Huang could feel that the soil above was obviously beginning to loosen.

Xu Huang ordered the soldiers to stop, and then pushed upward with force.

The thick layer of soil was immediately lifted up.

Xu Huang carefully stuck his head out and found that they had indeed dug into the corner of the city wall.

Apart from the enemy soldiers in the distance who were busy transporting supplies to the city wall, no one else was seen.

Xu Huang was immediately surprised!

It seems that the enemy did not notice their arrival!
He immediately pushed himself up with his hands and was the first to climb to the ground.

Then he called out to the soldiers below to hurry up!

As more and more soldiers came up, the area they occupied became larger and larger.

Xu Huang instinctively moved outwards!
However, when his right foot stepped on a raised spot on the ground, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged into his heart!
