Chapter 320: The Party enters the battle between Yang Jiye (Part 1)

At this time, although the Hantong camp was similar to the ordinary camp, there were many tents, but the tent was not filled with soldiers, but filled with mud and stones dug out of the excavation tunnel! After staring at the soldiers digging for several days, Hantong, who was already brave, was a little overwhelmed and had to retreat to the second line and handed over the task of commanding the excavation to Dang Jin.

Dang Jin was originally Du Chongwei's attendant, but was later subdued by Dong Zunhui. As a famous general in history, he was highly valued by Dong Zunhui. However, Dong Zunhui soon discovered that Dang Jin was insatiable, clever and mean, and had a bad nature. So although he attached importance to him, he did not raise him to a high position. Dang Jin was unwilling to be lonely, so he actually betrayed Dong Zunhui for glory and wealth, and told the emperor that he had released Murong Yanchao's wife and daughter privately.

Dong Zunhui was a man of two lives and soon realized that Dang Jin was inappropriate and knew that he had betrayed him. Dong Zunhui did not openly denounce Dang Jin, but ordered him to stay in Yanzhou and exclude him from his confidant generals.

Then Dang Jin was not a lonely person. In addition, Dong Zunhui was demoted by Guo Rong at that time, Dang Jin quickly changed jobs publicly and joined Han Tong's account. Now seeing Dong Zunhui being promoted repeatedly, Dang Jin really wanted to slap him a few big shots. Why was he so confused at the beginning? Now, he is not only his official position is equal to Cao Quan and other juniors, but also has become a famous anti-bone in the army!

Nowadays, Dang Jin can only bow his head and do things honestly. After this period of training, he has improved a lot and has become much more steady. However, after Han Tong handed over the excavation of secret passages to Dang Jin, Dang Jin was a little ready to move. He thought to himself: Jinyang is the capital of Northern Han built by Liu Chong. A few days ago, Guo Rong said it very clearly that he could be promoted to three levels by breaking Jinyang. Although the main contribution of the excavation of secret passages belonged to Han Tong, his assistant should be able to be promoted to one level and two levels. He must perform well, so as not to see Liu Qingyi and others, and he would have to pay a lot of respect!

Therefore, Dangjin could not be said to be jumping up and down, but he did his best. Under his arrangement, the excavation speed of the tunnel was greatly increased. When the Houzhou Death Soldiers Camp launched a charge on the ground, the underground Dangjin headquarters had already dug the secret passage from more than 40 years ago. However, Li Keyong ordered people to land the secret passage. If the Zhou army wanted to use this secret passage, it had to take out all the stone and soil in it, which took a lot of time.

At the same time, Liu Chong's son Liu Chengjun also led more than ten generals, including Duan Chang, and thousands of soldiers to the south gate to reinforce Li Cungui. Li Cungui was very grateful, and was also afraid of the attack of Zhou army's heavy catapults, so he did not dare to let Liu Chengjun stay in the city for too long, so he quickly sent someone to lead Liu Chengjun and his party back.

At this time, I often salute Liu Chengjun and said, "Your Highness, Guo Rong has recruited many people a few days ago, including local old people from Jinyang. I heard that more than 40 years ago, Li Keyong ordered people to build secret passages in Jinyang to attack them. Later, although this secret passage was abandoned, there were many people who knew it. Moreover, the secret passages in the secret passages were still accessible, and the outside part of the city was simply landfilled. I am worried that Guo Rong would receive information and use this secret passages. I hope that Your Highness would recruit troops and completely fill the secret passages!"

Liu Chengjun attached great importance to Duan Chang's opinions, and he nodded repeatedly. Perhaps it was because of his youthful habits, Liu Chengjun suddenly asked Duan Chang: "General Duan, if we ambush people outside the secret passage, can we capture all the enemy troops rushing into the city in one place? We can even go out of the city to attack the Zhou army!"

Seeing Duan Chang nodding, Liu Chengjun whispered: "I will give you one thousand elite soldiers and two thousand young and strong men immediately. I hope the general can put the enemy into the city and wipe out the entire city, chase and kill him out of the city, raid Guo Rong's camp, and prompt the Zhou army to retreat! I wonder if the general has confidence?!"

Duan Chang was an ordinary general in the army. After being appreciated by Liu Chong and Liu Chengjun, he became more and more loyal to Liu Chengjun. After hearing Liu Chengjun's order, Duan Chang nodded repeatedly and vowed to wipe out the sneak attack troops of the Later Zhou Dynasty. So Liu Chengjun handed over his guard coefficient to Duan Chang and asked the young general Liu Jiye to assist him.

Liu Jiye's real name is Yang Chonggui. Because of his bravery and good fighting, he was loved by Liu Chong and Liu Chengjun and specially granted his surname Liu. After the demise of the Northern Han Dynasty in history, Liu Jiye followed Liu Jiyuan to surrender to the Song Dynasty and changed his name to Yang Ye! Later, the Yang Lao Linggong mentioned him in the commentary, and the Yang family generals were talking about his descendants!

At this time, Liu Jiye was only twenty-two years old, and he was very young and energetic. In addition, he received Liu Chengjun's rebirth, even if he was not restrained in facing Duan Chang, he would not obey his orders.

Duan Chang led everyone to the entrance of the secret passage, and indeed heard someone digging the secret passage on the opposite side. So Duan Chang led the people to retreat quietly, and then whispered: "Everyone listen to my orders. When the enemy digs through the secret passage, it is time for us to attack! Everyone should do their best, don't pause, and must follow the secret passage and rush into the Zhou army's camp! Then, depending on the situation, launch an attack on Guo Rong's troops!"

Liu Jiye had some doubts, and he quickly questioned: "General Duan, just now, Your Highness clearly ordered the enemy to be put into the city and wiped out completely. But the General's arrangement just now clearly goes against Your Highness's intention!"

Duan Chang snorted coldly, and was also a little angry. You kid, who is only in your early twenties, dares to question my decision. It is just relying on your highness's favor. When you fight, you may have to wet your pants!

Duan Chang said coldly: "I have a reason to make this arrangement. If Zhou army digs the secret passage, at least cracks will appear on the city wall on the secret passage, and may even collapse! At that time, Zhou army comes from outside the city, who can bear this responsibility? Is it you? I hope you don't blame all the responsibility on Your Highness at that time!"

Liu Jiye was speechless. Duan Chang then assigned a task and ordered the two thousand young men to stay at the end to serve as reinforcements. He brought a thousand elite soldiers into the secret passage. Liu Jiye also took a waist knife and followed Duan Chang closely with Liu Chengjun's elite guards and rushed into the secret passage.

Although Dang Jin was very concerned about the secret passage, he was not on the front line. Sometimes he had to rely on luck when digging the tunnel. If the water source was dug, it would be too late for the digger to run. Dang Jin didn't want to take this risk, so he just stayed at the entrance of the tunnel and waited for news ahead.

The soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty dug and finally saw a ray of light and felt a fresh airflow. The soldiers were very excited and quickly raised the iron shovel, digging forward with a pickaxe, and soon dug out a hole for passage. The soldiers threw a few more torches in. Seeing that the fire was strong and there was no sign of extinguishing, they felt relieved. Some people immediately retreated and went to inform the party of the army, while others expanded the hole until they saw the dense figures on the opposite side!

Duan Chang shouted loudly: "Kill!" While shouting, he personally led the army to charge.

The poor soldiers of the Hou Zhou in the tunnel were all elite soldiers, but because of the tunnels, they were all not wearing armor, and they did not have any weapons on them, except for pickaxes and iron shovels. Before they could wave a few times, they were strung into human flesh gourds by the spear stabbed from the opposite side!

After just a few breaths, the soldiers of the Hou Zhou army in the tunnel were defeated and hurriedly ran out of the tunnel. They showed their unprepared backs, and Duan Chang and others were even more unpolite, chasing behind and striving to chase after them!

Dang Jin soon heard the sound of fighting from the tunnel and received reports from the soldiers in the tunnel. While sending people to inform Han Tong, he led the troops forward in person. However, the tunnel was very narrow and was not suitable for deploying troops. Dang Jin was soon destroyed by the defeated soldiers and could not rush into the tunnel at all. There was no way, Dang Jin could only retreat slowly and sort out the formation while retreating.

Duan Chang quickly led the army out. The thousand soldiers under his command were the most elite soldiers under Liu Chengjun, and they fought the party into their troops and retreated one after another.

Han Tong was decisive and saw the enemy troops pouring out from the tunnel, he immediately ordered people to go to the surrounding military camps for help, and mobilized all the cavalry he could to mobilize, galloping back and forth on the tunnel!

As a disposable tunnel used for siege, the support inside was not particularly strong. After being stomped back by the war horse, it quickly couldn't hold on. Soon, one pit after another appeared on the ground, and the collapsed ground completely blocked the tunnel!

Duan Chang's retreat was cut off, and he was not panicked. Instead, he shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers, our retreat has been cut off and we can't go back! Think about your family in Jinyang City, think about the bad reputation of the Later Zhou army's massacre of the city many times (I once robbed innocent people in Kaifeng Prefecture and Yanzhou City), and the man with a bird under his crotch, rush with me!"

At this time, there were about 1,3400 soldiers from the Northern Han army who rushed outside the city, about 1,000 of which were Liu Chengjun's confidants, who were very loyal to the Northern Han. After being agitated by Duan Chang, they responded first, waving their weapons and rushed forward with Duan Chang. People had a herd mentality, and the remaining three or four hundred young and strong men, although they were not very warlike, also rushed forward with the big guys.

Han Tong's face changed drastically. He had only one army of troops (2,500 people), most of whom were beaten and lost their organization, and his combat effectiveness became extremely low. But next to the barracks was the emperor's command center, and Han Tong could only resist to the death and fight for time. He also shouted a few times and rushed forward with his personal guards.

The two armies soon fought together, and the Later Zhou army had a little more troops, but unfortunately the morale was low; the Northern Han army was high, but the number was small. The two armies were just as strong as the strength, making it increasingly difficult to decide the outcome.

At this stalemate, Dang Jin was already ready to go and turned his horse. He raised the hammer in his hand and shouted loudly: "Today, you will defeat the enemy, brothers, fight with me!"

Anyway, the Northern Han army opposite had no cavalry, so Dang Jin easily smashed the heads of several Northern Han soldiers, and the surface of the hammer was covered with white brains! Under his leadership, more than a hundred cavalry who had just arrived at the battlefield galloped across the Northern Han army, causing bloody waves!
