Chapter 207 Bronze Sergeant

The night was as bright as ink, and the Nanchuan Army Camp outside Kolo City was brightly lit. Tens of thousands of soldiers who were waiting for the opportunity to sit or lie down, waiting for news from Liu Erhu and the others.

After nightfall, the Sith Corps launched its last attack on the city of Kolo and retreated under the fierce counterattack of the defenders. It was already midnight. The defenders of Kolo had already felt that the Nanchuan army would not attack again, so after arranging the posts, they returned to the city's office to rest.

"Is there no news yet?" Sith paced back and forth in the military tent, anxious. In a few hours, it would be dawn. If the city of Kolo could not be captured all night, the main force of the army would arrive.

Xiao Zhan and others were also restless, waiting for news from the vanguards entering the tunnel.

The entrance to the authentic tunnel leading to Kolo was originally an escape passage for a noble family, and the exit outside the city was behind a tea shed outside the city.

Liu Erhu once followed Murong Ke and the others in and out of Kolo City through this tunnel, so he was very familiar with it.

Two hundred Nanchuan soldiers followed Liu Erhu into the tunnel. These were all sergeants drawn from various 100 teams. They were the best among the Nanchuan Army in terms of individual combat capabilities and teamwork.

Under the leadership of Liu Erhu, they entered the dark and wet tunnel with their hand crossbows and short blades.

Because the tunnel was dug for a long time, it was filled with a musty smell, and the ground was filled with water, and the soldiers had to move forward with water.

Liu Erhu walked in front with a torch, carefully checking whether anyone had come.

In order to prevent collapse, the tunnel was built in a winding manner. It took half an hour to walk, but it had not yet reached its end.

"Brother Erhu, how long will it take?" The person in charge who followed Liu Erhu was a Tonghui soldier who caught up with Liu Erhu and asked quietly.

Liu Erhu raised his finger and put it beside his mouth and made a "shhh" move and whispered: "It's already under the city wall, don't make any sound."

The Tonghui Soldier listened with his ears, and sure enough, there were clanging footsteps and vague conversations coming from above.

Under the leadership of Liu Erhu, the soldiers made a lot of twists and finally walked to the exit of the authentic city.

The exit is in an old well. Standing at the bottom of the well, you can see a bright moon in the sky, and the thick well rope hangs all the way to the bottom of the well.

Liu Erhu reached out to grab the rope and was about to climb the past, but was stopped by the Tonghui soldiers. The Tonghui soldiers waved to the sergeant behind them quietly: "You go first--"

After several soldiers climbed up quickly, the Tonghui Sergeant explained: "Brother Erhu, these brothers under my command are all good players. If there is any danger above, you can't be in danger."

Liu Erhu curled his lips and said nothing, but knew in his heart that although this Tonghui soldier was brother and brother to him, he did not trust him, who had just returned to the team.

He was born in a scout camp, and his skills were definitely not inferior to those of the soldiers under the Tonghui Soldiers. However, after all, he has not yet gained the trust of his former comrades, and Liu Erhu was too lazy to explain. When the city of Kolo is captured, they will naturally trust themselves.

Several sergeants who climbed up first skillfully found the ancient well. This was a small courtyard full of miscellaneous items. The lights were on in the room not far away, and it was obvious that someone lived there.

A sergeant in the lead held a crossbow and half-squatted on the ground, making gestures behind him. Two sergeants holding short daggers ran lightly towards the room with lights.

Soon, they broke into the door, and the sound of people rolling in the room came silently.

Soon, a sergeant walked out of the room and made a safe gesture. The two young people in the room were knocked unconscious and tied up.

Liu Erhu, who was staying under the well, felt like life was like years. Just as he was impatient, a slight sound came from the wellhead.

Liu Erhu clearly felt the Tonghui soldiers breathing a sigh of relief, and Liu Erhu followed the Tonghui soldiers to climb the ancient well.

After half an hour, two hundred soldiers had all gathered in the courtyard.

"Brother Erhu, where is the city gate?" asked Sergeant Tonghui.

Liu Erhu pointed to the left and said, "Go out and turn left and turn a street." As he said that, he had already walked out first.

When the Tonghui soldiers saw Liu Erhu's appearance, they knew that he was unhappy about what had just happened, and they didn't care. They waved their hand and two hundred soldiers followed Liu Erhu, came out of the courtyard one after another, and rushed towards the city gate.

Due to the war, most of the residents of Kolo had fled north to Jiuyuan City, so the entire street was deserted.

In addition to the quiet moonlight on the street, it was surprisingly quiet. If it weren't for seeing the defenders on the city wall in the distance, the Tonghui soldiers even suspected that this was a arranged trap. He looked at Liu Erhu walking in front and followed even closer.

"Stop!" Liu Erhu, who was walking in front suddenly clenched his fist with his right hand and raised his head over, making a stop gesture.

"What's wrong?" Sergeant Tonghui asked in confusion.

Liu Erhu replied in a deep voice: "The patrol team is here."

The Tonghui Sergeant listened carefully and there was indeed a sound of footsteps. Now they are in the center of a street, and all the houses on both sides are closed. It can be said that they have nowhere to hide now.

"Retreat?" asked Sergeant Tonghui.

Liu Erhu: "It's too late."

"There are boxes there, hurry!" Liu Erhu pointed to an alley not far away and ordered.

The Tonghui sergeant waved his hand, and two hundred sergeants rushed towards the alley. When the figure of the last sergeant flashed into the alley, a dynasty patrol team turned out of the corner of the street.

The patrol team held a torch, and there were ten people. In the deserted dark night, when they walked, the swords and armor hanging around their waists made a clang of collision.

"It's so unlucky. I'm still here to patrol this midnight." A patrolman complained.

The leading ten people turned their heads and said, "Don't complain, wait half an hour before you change shifts."

The entire patrol team calmed down again and headed towards another section of the street.

The dynasty troops stationed in Kolo now have 5,000 combat soldiers and 5,000 noble armed forces. The defending generals were very cautious. Even in such a late night, they still did not relax and strengthen the guard posts in the city.

Suddenly, a crossbow arrow penetrated the throats of ten people in the patrol team, and scarlet blood splattered the faces of the soldiers behind him.

Before the patrolmen could react, the soldiers hiding in the alley had already rushed out and rushed towards their respective opponents.

The soldiers took clean and neat actions, and the patrol team had all been knocked to the ground before they could send an alarm.

"Change clothes!" The Tonghui Sergeant ordered.

Ten soldiers quickly changed into patrol uniforms, reignited the torches, and headed towards the city gate in the opposite direction.

The south gate of Kolo City is the focus of defense. There are two thousand-man teams stationed here. Because it is late at night, there is still a hundred-man team on duty.
