On the second day of the first month of October, at night, around two o'clock, Ju Sheng was ordered by the general Liu De to lead 2,000 soldiers to quietly lurk outside the north gate of Kunyang City, and under the cover of night, he peeked at the fire on Kunyang City in the distance.

Tonight, he wants to attack Kunyang County at night, and join forces with the inner and outer parts of the city that have been mixed into the city, and take Kunyang County in one fell swoop.

This afternoon, the general Liu De summoned them to the grass hut and issued them the battle order of 'night attack on Kunyang', at this time Ju Sheng Fang learned that Guan Shuo, the commander of his Changsha army, had sent someone to persuade Wu Zhi, the refugee leader of Zhushan on the west side of Kunyang, to let the latter defect to Kunyang as their internal response.

In exchange, after Kunyang County was breached, his Changsha army would hand over Kunyang to the refugees under Wu Zhi to live in, and at the same time hand over a batch of grain to them for the winter.

Wu Zhi and the others, as internal responses, can only imagine that they can only take advantage of Kunyang's negligence to cause riots, so his Changsha army has to send people to answer as soon as possible, and he Ju Sheng was unlucky to be assigned this task.

Ju Sheng was a little skeptical about this, whether it was because of his recent 'passive sabotage', which caused the general's dissatisfaction.

For this reason, he wanted to defend himself, not because he was 'passive in the battle', but because the soldiers under his command were simply not enough to support the high-intensity combat of the siege.

Let's see who his soldiers are composed of - new soldiers recruited from Zhaoling, Dingling, Yuncheng and other places, as well as the surviving soldiers under the late general Xu Bao, his original soldiers have been almost exhausted in several siege battles against Zhaoling and Kunyang.

A group of new pawns, a group of routed soldiers, hoping that these can suppress the Kunyang side in a high-intensity siege battle?

It's not Ju Sheng who increases the prestige of others, the Kunyang County pawn opposite, the Kunyang County pawn who was originally quite weak in terms of morale and strength, I don't know why he has become more and more tenacious recently, sometimes Ju Sheng simply wonders if it is the group of black turban thieves who took off the black turban.

Kunyang has Nanyang pawns, there are black turban pawns, the county army has not been the elite of Kunyang from the beginning, but there is no doubt that the county army is one of the main forces of Kunyang people to defend the city - because once there is a loss, Kunyang people will directly draw people from the militia team to replenish the county army, which is also the reason why this battle has been fought to this day, but Kunyang county pawns have never seen attrition.

The morale and strength of this group of people are gradually getting stronger, which is not a good thing for his Changsha army, especially as the war drags on, the morale and confidence of his Changsha army are gradually weakening.

The successive defeats of generals Huang Kang and Xu Bao, the repeated attacks on Kunyang County, and even the hunting of those 'wolves' in Kunyang from time to time, which caused the soldiers of his Changsha army to become more and more confused about the battle in front of them.

Not to mention those soldiers, even Ju Sheng felt confused, unable to figure out why an earthen city would be so difficult to conquer.

It wasn't until a few days ago that he heard that Chen Miao, the commander of the Jiangxia Righteous Division, personally led the army to help, and Ju Sheng and the soldiers under his command regained a little bit of morale.

It's a pity that there are not many reinforcements brought by Jiangxia Yishi Qu Shuai Chen Xuan, only 10,000 people, even Ju Sheng does not dare to hope that these 10,000 reinforcements can help them solve their difficulties.

Seeing that winter is coming, whether it is him or other officers and soldiers in the army, it is inevitable that they are a little anxious.

"Whew-"

Secretly exhaled, Ju Sheng shook his head, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.

He forced himself to calm down, because he also understood that tonight's night attack on Kunyang was very important to their Changsha army, and whether they could defeat the confidence of the Kunyang people in one fell swoop may depend on this night attack.

It's just that......

"Why hasn't the signal from the inside been sent yet?"

Staring intently at the North City Gatehouse in the distance, Ju Sheng was secretly a little anxious in his heart.

Suddenly, there was an almost inaudible exclamation from within the city, followed by the clashing of swords as if two groups of men were fighting each other.

"Shall the inner city begin to act?"

Ju Sheng was startled, and a little joy surged in his heart, but in an instant, this joy was replaced by complaint.

"What the hell? Could it be that the inner group in the city is actually storming the northern gate?'

He cursed in his heart.

It is undeniable that when talking about the four city walls of Kunyang County, only the northern city wall is the weakest, and according to the report of the spies, it seems that there are only 500 people stationed in it, which can be regarded as a defensive hole in Kunyang County.

This loophole has long been known to his Changsha army, but they have not done anything against it, because they are not sure to take advantage of this weakness to capture Kunyang in one fell swoop.

Since you are not sure, then continue to let it go, and see if there is any chance in the future, no, with the defection of Wu Zhi and others, this weakness will be used.

But what Ju Sheng never expected was that Wu Zhi's gang, who were their internal response, seemed to be forcibly attacking the North City Gate - that Wu Zhi was the county lieutenant of Suiping County, didn't he know that he would alarm the rest of the soldiers in Kunyang City by doing so?

Just when Ju Sheng was secretly surprised, he suddenly saw from a distance that a group of people in Kunyang City had killed the city gate and fought with the county army that was originally on duty on the city wall.

This incident immediately alarmed the county troops patrolling at the east and west ends of the north city wall, and Ju Sheng clearly saw that there were groups of county troops holding torches on the city wall that were quickly rushing towards the location of the city gate tower, obviously rushing to reinforcements.

That Wu Zhi actually took a strong attack?!

Ju Sheng was shocked and anxious, and couldn't help muttering secretly: Even if you fight out your subordinates, you must open the city gate......

No wonder he was so anxious, just because even if they attacked Kunyang repeatedly, they couldn't see much hope of breaking the city, and the tenacity of the Kunyang people was completely beyond their expectations.

If we fail tonight's battle, I really don't know how long it will take to have a chance.

While muttering, he did not forget to order the soldiers lurking in the night behind him: the whole army is ready for an assault!

I don't know if his prayer had an effect, but in the midst of the shouting and killing, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound from the north gate in the distance, which seemed to be slowly opening.

Did it work?

Ju Sheng was surprised and delighted, and without waiting for those Nei Ying to still fight with the county army on the city wall, he gave an order to his soldiers: "The whole army is raided!" ”

At the sound of an order, he and his two thousand soldiers lurking in the night got up from the ground and rushed towards the north gate in the distance.

The distance of less than a mile was in the blink of an eye, and after only a few dozen breaths, Ju Sheng and the others rushed to the vicinity of the North City Gate.

And this matter was in the city gate cave of the north city gate, and sure enough, two groups of people were fighting, and the corpses were piled up on the ground.

At the same time, these two groups of people are still shouting.

"Rebels, rebels! …… Sure enough, this group of dog thieves colluded with the rebels! ”

"Block! Obstruct! Hold on until the Changsha army enters the city! ”

Needless to say, one of the people was obviously Wu Zhi's subordinates, while the other group was the county army of Kunyang.

Glimpsing from afar that the group of people who opened the city gate gradually couldn't resist the Kunyang County Army, Ju Sheng didn't doubt him, raised his arms and shouted: "Quick! Take the opportunity to fight your way into the city! ”

Under his orders, 2,000 soldiers under his command followed closely behind his own general, and a steady stream poured into the city.

Seeing this, one of the two groups of people fighting at the city gate turned around and fled, exclaiming loudly as they fled: "The rebels have entered the city!" The rebels have entered the city! ”

These people must be the county officials of Kunyang.

The other group of people slowly retreated to the sides with their hands raised, shouting as they retreated: "We are the internal response of your army!" ”

No need to ask, these must be Wu Zhi's subordinates.

Ju Sheng ignored the group of Wu Zhi's subordinates, pointed to the city and ordered in a deep voice: "Yang Heng, you lead the army to garrison the city gate, seize the city gate tower, and transmit signals to the friendly troops in the rear, telling them to hurry up to help; Sun Yang, you are the front, enter the city! ”

"Yes!"

The two uncles under his command, Yang Heng and Sun Yang, held their fists and led the order.

After the order was issued, Ju Sheng personally led his soldiers and walked down the main street to the depths of the city, and along the way, the Kunyang County army fled in despair.

At first, Ju Sheng was overjoyed, thinking that the county magistrate in Kunyang was also greedy for life and afraid of death, but gradually, he felt that the situation was wrong.

Let's talk about the 'defeated' county guards first, although they exclaimed one by one that 'the rebels have entered the city', their expressions did not seem to be panicked.

Besides, the city is too quiet......

No, not quietly, to be exact, because there were indeed sounds of panic everywhere in the city at the moment, but at first glance the chaotic situation was only missing the panicked civilians......

The most strange thing is that the black turban thieves and county troops, who have always reacted quickly when defending the city a few days ago, could not organize a counterattack in time at this moment......

"Hit the mark!"

Ju Sheng chuckled in his heart, and immediately waved his hand and shouted: "The whole army withdraws from the city!" Fast! The whole army withdraws from the city! ”

He shouted anxiously twice in a row.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a swishing sound on the roof of a house not far away, and a fiery arrow shot into the air.

Immediately afterwards, many fires suddenly appeared on the rooftops on both sides of the main street.

Ju Sheng looked at it, and his complexion changed greatly.

For on the roofs, there were not only soldiers with torches, but also many crossbowmen.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

Ju Sheng shouted desperately.

However, it was too late, and the moment he shouted, the crossbowmen on the houses on both sides of the street fired countless arrows at the Changsha sergeants standing on the main street.

In an instant, the soldiers under Ju Sheng's command were hit by countless arrows, fell to the ground and wailed, and even Ju Sheng himself was hit by an arrow in his arm, covering his wounds and being protected by two soldiers.

However, this was not the end, after the rain of arrows stopped, on the other side of the main street where Ju Sheng and the others were, there was a sound of rapid steps and armor rubbing.

With the help of the light of the torches in the hands of some county soldiers on the roof, Ju Sheng suddenly saw an army with full armor in front of him.

And among them, there are also some 'black scarves' who make the soldiers of the Changsha Army tremble.

"Kill!"

With a roar, not only the main street, but also the black tiger thieves and the county army rushed out of various alleys, as if fighting against Ju Sheng's soldiers in all directions.

Seeing this, Ju Sheng shouted angrily: "Withdraw! Why didn't the soldiers in the back withdraw?! ”

Or some soldiers who knew about it wanted to cry without tears and said: "General Qu, the soldiers behind can't withdraw, and the enemy pushed down the bags full of soil from the city gate tower and blocked the city gate." ”

"What?!"

Ju Sheng's complexion changed greatly, and immediately, a little hesitation appeared on his face full of horror.

Finished......

At the same time, in the attic of a high-rise mansion in the distance, Zhao Yu looked at the chaos on North Street from the window with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, beside him, stood Wu Zhi, who promised to be the commander of the Changsha Army.

"County Lieutenant Wu, please don't mind Zhou's statement...... You made a wise decision. ”

"Of course."

Wu Zhi lowered his head slightly.
