Huang Kang didn't care about the casualties of the Green Forest Thieves, after all, in his opinion, most of those people were just a bunch of scum, and the two sides were just using each other, what really made him care was that Kunyang County made an 'initiative to attack', which would bring a lot of threats to him and the army under his command.

Fortunately, through Zhang Tai's description, Huang Kang quickly realized that the number of 'black turban pawns' who went out to sweep away those green forest thieves last night was not large, according to his estimates of about 1,000 people, which did not make him too nervous.

But having said that, Huang Kang still ordered the soldiers under his command to be more vigilant.

He believes that since Kunyang County has decided to 'take the initiative', it will never be satisfied with just clearing away the green forest thieves who have crossed the Shahe River, and maybe even attack his army across the river.

This meant that he and his army had to be on guard against threats from both directions.

Facts proved that Huang Kang's judgment was correct, and after just one day, a patrol soldier of the Changsha Army told him that he had seen some sneaky guys on the south bank of the Shahe River, and peeped at them from a distance.

These sneaky guys, most of them dress up as ordinary people, but this group of people really don't know how to disguise, you must know that the people who are still wandering around here at the moment are refugees who fled from Dingling County, since they are refugees, how can they not bring their wives and children, drag their families with their mouths?

Therefore, every time I saw those sneaky guys, the Changsha soldiers patrolling the riverbank would immediately go to expel them, and the other party quickly ran away, and there seemed to be no intention of fighting them.

Subsequently, not only on the riverbank, but also near the camp of the Changsha army under Huang Kang, those suspicious guys were found one after another, peeking at the Changsha soldiers who were still busy cutting down trees and building camps in the distance.

What's infuriating is that the guys also seem to realize that pretending to be ordinary people is not enough to deceive the Changsha soldiers in charge of guarding, so they simply showed their true colors, and wrapped the black scarf on their heads in a grand manner.

Undoubtedly, these people are the 'black tiger thieves' in Kunyang, and the 'black scarf soldiers' that Changsha soldiers talk about in private.

The fact that the Black Turban Soldier frequently peeked into his unfinished camp and the speed at which his soldiers were building it was was obviously a very dangerous signal, which meant that the other party might have malicious intent towards the camp he was building—just as Ye County in the southwest had done the same thing from time to time.

Both counties were preparing to attack his camp in an attempt to push him back from the south bank of the Sand River.

After pondering for a while, Huang Kang gave instructions to his soldiers.

This command is divided into two parts: day and night:

In addition to having someone keep an eye on Ye County's every move at all times, it also includes 3,000 soldiers to keep a state of readiness at any time, so that when Ye County sends people to disrupt the construction of his Changsha army, Huang Kang can send those 3,000 soldiers to resist, and take the opportunity to recruit back the soldiers who went out of the camp to cut down trees, so as not to be slaughtered by Ye County's army.

At night, the defensive guards are mainly on the east side to prevent the black turban soldiers in Kunyang from harassing them.

It's not that he is sure that the Nanyang army stationed in Ye County will not launch a night attack, nor is he despising them, the problem is that when he built the camp at the beginning, he gave priority to the west and south sides of Ye County, and then the north side of Kunyang, so that now there is still a gap between the east and the southeast.

It is precisely for this reason that Huang Kang sent additional soldiers to patrol martial law at night in the east and southeast directions, after all, the Black Tiger Thieves swept away five green forest thieves in one fell swoop overnight, which means that the Black Tiger Thieves are very good at fighting in small groups at night.

Of course, in addition to giving orders to the soldiers under his command, Huang Kang naturally did not forget Zhang Tai's group of green forest thieves, he did not agree to Zhang Tai's request that the green forest thieves want to leave the team at this moment and return to Dingling County to replenish the servants, but ordered Zhang Tai and others to find a way to sweep away the black tiger thieves wandering around here.

In his words, this was the reason why his Changsha army had acquiesced to the evil deeds of the Green Forest Thieves - the Green Forest Thieves had to remove all obstacles for the Changsha Army to conquer the city.

Of course, in order to let Zhang Tai's green forest thieves sell their lives, Huang Kang also acquiesced to some conditions, for example, if Kunyang or Yexian were captured in the future, he would allow those green forest thieves to replenish their servants in the city and restore them to their original numbers.

It is precisely because of this condition that Huang Kang and Zhang Tai reached an agreement.

Although the Green Forest Thieves did not have the courage to attack Kunyang County, they still had the courage to fight the Black Tiger Thieves in the wilderness.

After all, the Black Tiger Thief was born as a bandit, and they used to be from a bandit, and they were more than their 'peers' looking for teeth all over the ground, which was obviously a very humiliating thing.

Therefore, after Zhang Tai returned to his station, he gathered his subordinates, as well as the leaders of a small group of green forest thieves such as Chao Leopard, and proposed to everyone the plan of 'ambushing the black turban thieves', preparing to compete with their counterparts in Kunyang, and see which of them is stronger or weaker than the 'green forest' in the south and the 'black scarf' in Kunyang.

"Chop off the heads of all these black turban thieves and send them outside Kunyang City to avenge the hatred of many brothers!"

On the same day, Zhang Tai said.

His proposal of 'revenge' against the Black Tiger Thieves won the support of Chao Leopard and other leaders of the small group of Green Forest Thieves.

After all, so far, the people who have killed them the most are the 'black turban thieves', and they can't wait to eat each other alive.

In their opinion, the Nanyang army is a regular army, and the number is far more than them, it is better not to provoke or not to provoke, and leave Huang Kang's people to deal with it, but the 'black turban thieves' are just a group of local thieves in Kunyang, and they dare to ride on their heads and? Why?!

Could it be that the thieves in Kunyang are not fucking thieves?

So, with the acquiescence of Huang Kang, this group of green forest thieves got a batch of rations from the Changsha army, crossed the Shahe River again, and reoccupied several villages such as Yang Village and Hekou Village that had been occupied by them, and issued a war letter to their counterparts in Kunyang with this move.

The movements of these green forest thieves were immediately detected by the black tiger thieves and the scouts sent by the Kunyang County Army, and reported to Zhao Yu's ears.

Zhao Yu could see at a glance that this group of green forest thieves wanted to make a comeback, so he called Chen Mo and Wang Qing, who were in charge of the brigade camp, over.

He said to the two: "I just got the news that the Green Forest Thieves crossed the Shahe River in batches and reoccupied several villages such as Yang Village and Hekou Village, and this move is undoubtedly to provoke us and others, or lure us to attack them again. ”

Wang Qing smiled and said, "Oh, it seems that those southern counterparts will actually be tempted...... Why, do you want to be a hunter? Aren't you afraid of being bitten to death in turn? ”

Don't look at his words seriously, but the meaning of his words proves that he also guessed the intentions of those green forest thieves.

In contrast, Chen Mo was much more steady, frowning and discussing with Zhao Yu: "The night before yesterday, the reason why those green forest thieves were successfully attacked by us was only because they were defenseless, and now that they are prepared, it is not difficult to guess that they will definitely set up all kinds of ambushes, and if they continue to let the 'traveling wolf' follow the current scattered strategy, they may lose many brothers." It's better to gather them together and send Wang Qing to sweep them away one by one......"

The brigade wolf, that is, the 1,000 brigade camp black tiger thieves who were wandering near the Shahe River at the moment, ready to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack the green forest thieves and rebels, are also all the harassers sent by Kunyang in response to Ye County.

From the side, although Wang Qing didn't seem so interested, he still nodded: "It's okay." It's boring to stay in the city all the time, and it's not bad to relieve the boredom of those green forest thieves......"

But after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yu shook his head and vetoed Chen Mo's proposal.

He said in a deep voice: "Then the meaning of the 'wolf pack tactic' will be lost, in my opinion, in order to face the main force of the rebels in the future, Kunyang must create two teams as soon as possible, one for a head-to-head confrontation and hold the city, and the other for taking the initiative to attack and harass the enemy army and make it unpeaceful." …… At present, the county army is stepping up its training towards the goal of frontal combat, and the progress is good, but there is a lack of men and horses to harass the enemy army...... If this group of men and horses gathers to act, it is no different from the county army going to a sneak attack, what I want is to be like a wolf pack, able to bite the enemy all over the body, tired of coping...... Believe me, such a team will play a key role in the future. ”

Chen Mo frowned, but finally nodded.

And Wang Qing, at this time, his expression rarely became much more serious, and he frowned slightly and reminded: "If the status quo is maintained and you continue to act in a team of fifty people, it will be difficult to command......

"Then don't command."

Zhao Yu Zhengse said: "Let those team leaders and pawn commanders judge for themselves." ”

Chen Mo and Wang Qing glanced at each other, frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid there will be a big loss......

"But it was worth it."

Glancing at Chen Mo and Wang Qing, Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "Harassment and containment are a protracted battle, even I can't cover everything, rather than letting me be in the rear and don't know the immediate situation, it is better to cultivate the judgment of those team leaders and captains." As for the losses...... Once the situation is not good, immediately stop the loss and retreat, even if you are temporarily defeated by the green forest thief, it doesn't matter! After all, those green forest thieves are just the first soup on the feast, and they are not enough to become the key to victory or defeat in the end. ”

Seeing Zhao Yu say this, Chen Mo and Wang Qing stopped persuading.

Under Zhao Yu's indulgence, more than a dozen wolf packs sent out launched mutual sneak attacks and ambushes with the green forest thieves.

I have to say that the green forest thieves still have some strength, and in just two or three days, Zhao Yu has received a series of casualty reports.

Xu Bai's team, thirteen wounded, five dead.

Wang hired a team, 19 people were wounded, and 6 people died.

Lu Kuan's team, annihilated.

Hao Shun's team, 28 wounded and 16 dead, returned to the city to recuperate.

Team Bao Xin......

Team Xu Rao......

Lexing Team ......

By the fifth day of the eighth month, in just three nights, of the nearly 20 wolf packs, 14 of them fought with the Green Forest Thieves, 9 were lightly wounded, 5 were heavily injured, and 2 were destroyed.

Although in general, they did not fall into disadvantage, but these losses still made Zhao Yu feel distressed, although most of the dead were new pawns.

Considering that the Green Forest Thieves are the most suitable targets for these brigade wolves to sharpen their minions at the moment, Zhao Yu calmed down, ignored these casualties, and only worked hard to encourage morale, for example, arranging marriage partners for the new pawns who were selected as brigade wolves, or promoting the meritorious team to the rank of pawn commander.

And just as he predicted, in the mutual sneak attacks and ambushes with the Green Forest Thieves, the leaders of his brigade camp gradually became cunning in the defeat after defeat, and they would no longer easily fall into the ambush of the Green Forest Thieves, and at the same time, they gradually understood how to use the new pawns in the team to avoid casualties.

As of August 12, with nearly 500 casualties paid by those brigade wolves, the green forest thieves led by Zhang Tai gradually could not hold on.

It's no wonder, after all, the brigade wolves have the brigade camp as a backing, once there are casualties, there will be a newcomer trained by Chen Mo in Kunyang County to make up for it, while the green forest thieves have almost no chance to replenish the personnel, under this elimination of the other, the surviving green forest thieves can only flee back to the south bank of the Shahe River in disgrace, regardless of the fact that the heads of their companions were cut off by the brigade wolves, handed over to Kunyang, and hung outside the city wall to show the public.

At this time, Zhao Yu gave the order to the brigade wolves to attack the rebel army.
