Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 203 Bronze Badge Sergeant
The night was dark, and the Nanchuan military camp outside Keluo City was brightly lit. Tens of thousands of soldiers were sitting or lying down, waiting for news from Liu Erhu and the others.

After nightfall, the Sith Corps launched the last attack on Keluo City, and retreated under the fierce counterattack of the defenders. It was already midnight, and the defenders of Keluo City already felt that the Nanchuan Army would not attack again, so After arranging the guard post, he returned to the official office in the city to rest.

"Is there no news yet?" Sith paced back and forth in the army tent, anxious, and it would be dawn in a few hours. If Keluo City could not be captured overnight, then the main force of the legion would arrive.

Xiao Zhan and the others were also fidgeting, waiting for the news of the pioneers who had entered the tunnel.

The tunnel entrance leading to Keluo City 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 used to follow Murong Ke and the others in and out of Keluo City through this tunnel, so he was very familiar with it.

There were [-] Nanchuan soldiers who followed Liu Erhu into the tunnel. These were sergeants drawn from various centurions, and they were the best in the Nanchuan Army in terms of individual combat ability and teamwork.

Led by Liu Erhu, they entered the dark and damp tunnel with hand crossbows and short blades.

Because the tunnel had been dug for a long time, there was a musty smell in it, and the ground was full of stagnant water, so the soldiers had to move forward through the stagnant water.

Liu Erhu walked in the front holding a torch, carefully checking to see if anyone had come.

In order to prevent the tunnel from collapsing, the tunnel was built with twists and turns. After walking for half an hour, it still hasn't come to an end.

"Brother Erhu, how long is it?" The person in charge who followed Liu Erhu was a sergeant with a bronze emblem, and asked in a low voice after catching up with Liu Erhu.

Liu Erhu raised his finger to his mouth and made a "shh" motion and said in a low voice, "We're already under the city wall, don't make any noise."

The Bronze Emblem Sergeant listened attentively, and sure enough there were clanging footsteps and faint voices of conversation coming from above.

Under the leadership of Liu Erhu, the sergeants turned and turned, and finally reached the exit of the tunnel city.

The exit is under 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 down to the bottom of the well.

Liu Erhu stretched out his hand to grab the well rope and was about to climb over, but was stopped by the Bronze Badge Sergeant, who calmly waved to the soldiers behind him: "You guys go up first—"

After several sergeants climbed up quickly with their hands and feet, the sergeant with the bronze emblem explained: "Brother Erhu, these brothers under my command are all good hands. If there is any danger above, I can't let you take the risk."

Liu Erhu curled his lips and didn't speak, but he knew in his heart that although the soldier with the bronze emblem called him brother and brother, he didn't trust him so much in his heart who had just returned to the army.

He was born in a scout battalion, and his skills are definitely not inferior to those of the Bronze Badge Sergeants, but after all, he has not gained the trust of his former colleagues, and Liu Erhu didn't bother to explain. When Keluo City is breached, they will naturally trust him.

The few sergeants who climbed up first quickly dug out the ancient well. This is a small yard full of sundries, and there are still lights on in the room not far away, obviously inhabited.

A leading sergeant held a hand crossbow, squatted on the ground, and gestured behind him, while two sergeants holding short daggers walked lightly towards the lighted room.

Soon, they broke in, and the room was silent after the sound of people rolling on the ground.

Soon, a sergeant walked out of the room, gesturing for safety, and the two young men in the room were knocked out and tied up.

Liu Erhu who stayed at the bottom of the well felt that his days seemed like years. Just when he was getting impatient, there was a crackling sound from the mouth of the well.

Liu Erhu obviously felt that the Tonghui sergeant breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Erhu followed the Tonghui sergeant up the ancient well.

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

"Brother Two Tigers, where is the city gate?" the sergeant with the bronze emblem asked.

Liu Erhu pointed to the left side and said: "Go out the door and turn left one street." He had already walked out first.

Seeing Liu Erhu's appearance, the Tonghui sergeant knew that he was not happy about what happened just now, and he didn't care about it. He waved his hand, and two hundred sergeants followed Liu Erhu, filed out of the small courtyard, and rushed towards the gate of the city.

Because of the war in Keluo City, most of the residents had fled north to Jiuyuan City, so the whole street was deserted.

Except for the quiet moonlight, the street was surprisingly quiet. If it wasn't for the sight of the defenders on the city wall in the distance, the Bronze Emblem Sergeant even suspected that this was a well-arranged trap. He looked at Liu Erhu who was walking in front, and followed him even closer tight.

"Stop!" Liu Erhu, who was walking ahead suddenly, clenched his right fist and raised his head high, making a stop gesture.

"What's wrong?" Bronze emblem sergeant asked puzzled.

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

The Bronze Badge Sergeant listened carefully, and there were indeed footsteps coming. Now they are in the middle of a street, and the houses on both sides are all closed. It can be said that they have nowhere to hide now.

"Go back?" the Bronze Badge Sergeant asked.

Liu Erhu: "It's too late."

"There's a box over there, hurry up!" Liu Erhu pointed to a small alley not far away, and ordered.

The bronze badge 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 army patrol turned around the corner.

There were ten patrols holding torches. In the deserted night, when they walked, the swords and armor hanging on their waists made a clanging sound.

"It's unlucky, you're still patrolling in the middle of the night." A patrolman complained.

The leading ten people turned their heads away: "Don't complain, the shift will be changed in half an hour."

The entire patrol fell silent again and moved on to another section of the street.

The dynasty army currently stationed in Keluo City has [-] soldiers and [-] nobles armed. The general defending the army is a very cautious person. Even in such a late night, he still did not relax and strengthen the guard posts in the city.

Suddenly, a crossbow arrow pierced the throats of ten patrolmen, scarlet blood spattered the faces of the soldiers behind them.

Before the patrolling soldiers could react, the sergeants hiding in the alleys had already rushed out and rushed towards their respective opponents.

The sergeants shot cleanly and neatly, and before the patrol team sounded the alarm, they were all knocked down to the ground.

"Change clothes!" The bronze badge sergeant ordered.

The ten sergeants quickly put on the uniforms of the patrol team, lit the torches again, and headed in the opposite direction towards the gate of the city.

The south gate of Keluo 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.

A ten-man dynasty infantry stood at the gate of the city. Seeing that the patrol had turned back again, the ten-man commander guarding the city gate was very vigilant, and asked with a smile from a distance, "Old Wang, why are you back again?"
