Chapter 389: Street Fighting

In the early morning of the next day, Guan Shuo and Chen Miao first discussed the 'capture of the city', and then summoned his generals to arrange tasks.

At present, there are three main directions of attack of the righteous division, one of which is to occupy the city, and the second and third are naturally to capture the west and east city walls.

The matter of capturing the city walls on the east and west sides was handed over to Guan Shuo and his subordinates Zou Wei and Luo Yu, while the matter of capturing the city was handed over to Cao Wu.

Considering that the task of capturing the city was even more onerous, Guan Shuo begged Chen Shuo for help, and Chen Shuo agreed to the matter, allowing Guan Shuo to temporarily command his general Zhu Yuan.

“…… Zou Wei and Luo Yu captured the east and west city walls, while Zhu Wei and Cao Wu gradually captured the ...... in the city."

When summoning the generals under his command to arrange the task, Guan Shuo announced in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zou Wei clenched his fists and asked, "May I ask Qu Shuai, will General Liu De and General Huang Kang assist in capturing the city walls on the east and west sides?" ”

Guan Shuo nodded in affirmation: "I will order them to continue to attack the east and west city walls, and assist you and others in attacking the county guards defending the city." …… Do you have any doubts? ”

The generals looked at each other, but no one replied.

Seeing this, Guan Shuo nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since there are no doubts, then go and prepare immediately!" Chen Qushuai and I both hope to hear the good news of the complete occupation of Kunyang before sunset today. ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Yuan, Cao Wu, Zou Wei, Luo Yu and other generals clenched their fists and received their orders.

At the same time, in the Xicheng Gate Tower of Kunyang County, Ma Gai, the guard in charge of this side, was also discussing the defense with Chen Mo, Ma Hong, and his subordinates Yang Kang and He Feng.

After glancing at Chen Mo, Ma Gai said to several of his subordinates: "What Leader Zhou means is that we will abandon the southern section of the city wall, and mainly defend the city gate tower and the northern section ......of the city wall."

As he spoke, he began to talk about Zhao Yu's tactics.

The reason why he wanted to give up the southern section of the city wall was because Zhao Yu considered that the rebels led by the rebel general Huang Kang outside the west city gate would also participate in the attack, so that the northern section of the city wall was fine, but the guards on the southern section of the city wall had to deal with the rebels in both the 'city' and 'outside the city' at the same time.

In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, Zhao Yu decided to abandon the southern section of the city wall.

The advantage of this is that there is such a large area on the city wall, even if the rebels under Huang Kang's command converge with the soldiers sent by Guan Shuo in the southern section of the city wall, it is impossible to pose a greater threat to the guards of the city gate tower - don't look at the convergence of the two rebels on the southern section of the city wall, it seems that it will bring a greater threat to the county army, but correspondingly, the area that the county army needs to defend has also been reduced by half, so the number of troops will be more abundant.

This is the safest way for Zhao Yu to see.

"And what if the rebels take the opportunity to enter the city?" Yang Dang, the former head catcher who served as a military marquis, raised questions.

In his opinion, if they abandoned the southern section of the wall, the rebels would definitely take the opportunity to storm the city.

"Leave it to me."

Ma Hong replied instead of Ma Gai: "Leader Zhou has divided the county into four urban districts, and the situation you mentioned will only happen in the southwest and southeast urban areas, for this reason, Leader Zhou has set up earthen walls and ditches on every street and alley in the city, and has also appointed me and Zhang Feng to resist the rebels who invaded the city, and I will lead the Nanyang pawns, county pawns, militia teams and brigade wolves to block and ambush the invading rebels in the streets and alleys." ”

Hearing this, Yang Kang and He Feng glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Seeing that everyone no longer had any doubts, Ma Gai made a summary: "Okay, in that case, Chen Da will lead the city gate, Ma Hong will be responsible for resisting the rebels who invade the city, and a few of you will guard the northern section of the city wall with me." ”

"Yes!"

Yang Kang and He Feng hugged their fists to lead their lives.

At the same time, in the east city wall, Wang Qing is also doing a similar task deployment as Ma Gai.

“…… According to the tactics of the Zhou chief, we will abandon the southern section of the city wall, and I will sit in the city gate tower, and Wu Zhi will guard the northern section of the city wall to resist the rebel army led by the rebel general Liu De outside the city. In the unlikely event that a rebel army enters the city from the southern section of the city wall, Zhang Fenghui will be responsible for resisting it...... Do you have any doubts? ”

Ishihara and Chen Gui glanced at each other and shook their heads slightly.

When Wang Qing gave the order to perform their duties, Ishihara and Chen Gui walked out of the East City Gate Tower together.

During this period, Chen Gui whispered to Ishihara: "This move is too thrilling. We are abandoning the southern section of the city wall, and I'm afraid the same is true of the west city wall, and that Zhou leader is really bold...... Isn't he afraid of whatever? ”

"There's no way around it."

Ishihara frowned and said, "Didn't Xu Bai say it?" The black tiger thieves on the south city wall yesterday were exhausted, even if Zhou Hu did not order to withdraw into the city, the south city wall could not be saved, at least for now, the elite of the black tiger thieves was still there, and after a little rest, they could continue to fight......"

Unlike Chen Gui's thoughts, Ishihara didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhou Hu's order to 'abandon the southern city wall' yesterday, after all, it was clear that he couldn't defend the southern city wall at that time, so why not temporarily retire to preserve his strength?

In Ishihara's view, this is the wisdom that can highlight 'wisdom', which is much better than those mediocre generals who will only blindly sacrifice soldiers to fill the skull.

"Huh?"

Chen Gui glanced at Shi Yuan strangely and teased: "Since Zhou Hu promoted you to the rank of military marquis, why did you start saying good things about Zhou Hu?" ”

"Nonsense! I'm just talking about things! Ishihara said angrily.

In all fairness, even if he was promoted by Zhou Hu, Ishihara would not completely change his attitude for this.

It can only be said that his attitude towards the black tiger thief has changed everywhere in the past, so at first glance, it seems as if he has fallen to the black tiger thief.

But in fact, Ishihara is quite optimistic about things.

Especially in this matter, he supports Zhou Hu's view that 'people are saved by losing land, and everyone and land are gained'.

He said to Chen Gui: "The rebels may be proud for a while, but as long as they survive the initial ...... Look at it, Zhou Hu will fight back, that guy, not so! ”

『…… I dare to say that I didn't say anything good about Zhou Hu."

Chen Gui glanced at Ishihara with a strange expression.

A moment later, around three o'clock, the rebel generals Zou Wei and Luo Yu began to attack the east and west walls respectively.

Both of them walked through the 'passage above the city', that is, along the walls to the walls on both sides.

Zou Wei originally thought that the Kunyang guards would hold on to the city wall, but to his surprise, although he had led his soldiers to the corner of the city wall, he still did not see a single Kunyang guard.

"The Kunyang guards actually gave up the southern section of the city wall?"

Zou Wei, who was suspicious, immediately sent someone to tell Guan Shuo, and he himself led his soldiers to continue to advance, along the southern section of the west city wall, all the way to the area of the city gate tower of the west city wall.

In the distance, Zou Wei saw a general standing at the mouth of the narrow city wall with a spear in his hand.

Given that he had been dealing with Kunyang Fang for more than a month, Zou Wei could certainly recognize the other party, after all, the general opposite was still very famous among their righteous teachers - of course, notoriety.

"The first fierce general of the black scarf thief, Chen Mo...... I'm really lucky.'

Zou Wei secretly smiled bitterly, and was afraid in his heart.

There is no other reason, just because Chen Mo on the other side is famous for specializing in sniping his righteous generals, this battle of Kunyang has been fought so far, countless of his righteous generals have died in the hands of Chen Mo, and even several people have died at the level of Qu generals, Zou Wei does not think that his martial arts can surpass those Qu generals who were killed by Chen Mo.

But the order is difficult to disobey, and he has no other way, so he can only hope that when there will be a scuffle, then Chen Mo will find him.

The two sides faced each other across dozens of zhang city walls.

Chen Mo on the opposite side did not move, and Zou Wei did not dare to act rashly, waiting for reinforcements outside the city.

Not long after, outside the western city wall, the rebel general Huang Kang led his army to the western suburbs and looked at the western city wall in front of him.

"Huh?"

Huang Kang saw at a glance that the banner of his Changsha army had been erected at the southern corner of the western city wall, and he also saw Zou Wei and the rebel soldiers under his command.

"It's ...... Kunyang abandoned the southern section of the city wall? Is this to protect the abdomen and back from being attacked? Hmph, you're still playing these tricks when you're dying.'"

Secretly sneering, Huang Kang summoned several famous generals under his command, Song Zan, Chen Lang, and Ji Wu to the front.

After several generals arrived, Huang Kang pointed to the city wall in the distance and said: "As you can see, the generals under the command of Guan Shuai are facing the Kunyang guards on the city wall. …… Song Zan, Chen Lang, you two are responsible for the frontal siege of the city, Ji Wu, you lead your soldiers to land from the southern city wall, join up with our army, and join forces to attack the city gate! ”

"Yes!"

Song Zan, Chen Lang, and Ji Wu hugged their fists and left.

Seeing this, Huang Kang waved his hand and said, "Drumming!" Get ready for the siege! ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Among the rebels in the western suburbs, there were bursts of drums.

As the beat of the drums became more and more rapid, a long horn sounded in the sky.

During this period, I saw Huang Kang straddle the war horse, draw his sword and point in the direction of the city wall, and shout sharply: "Attack!" ”

"Wow!"

Thousands of rebels and nearly 10,000 green forest thieves under his command raised their arms and shouted, and in an instant, there were 2,000 rebels and 3,000 brigade forest thieves, carrying the long ladder used for siege and rushing towards the city wall.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

Ma Gai, Yang Kang, and He Feng, who were responsible for defending the city gate tower to the northern section of the city wall, immediately commanded the crossbowmen of the county army to launch a volley.

During this period, Chen Mo just glanced outside the city, and then immediately fell on the southern section of the city wall in the distance, and fell on those rebels.

As the so-called one husband is the pass, with him Chen Mo here, the rebels on the southern section of the city wall, don't want to pass by him!

"Attack!"

At the same time as the rebels outside the city launched an offensive, the rebel general Zou Wei also gave an order.

After his order, I saw that on the narrow path on the city wall, the rebel contradictory hands, sword and shield hands were densely arranged and neatly arranged, and they immediately walked towards the city gate tower with neat steps.

Seeing this, Chen Mo turned the spear in his hand, pointed at the oncoming rebels, and shouted in his mouth: "County army, defeat them!" ”

With that, he took the lead, brandishing his spear and slaying at the oncoming rebels.

Behind him, a group of well-dressed county guards also lined up neatly, following closely behind.

Looking at the menacing Chen Mo, Zou Wei hurriedly ordered: "Release the arrow!" Shoot him with an arrow! ”

At the sound of an order, the rebels in Zou Wei's team made some adjustments, and a group of crossbowmen came to the front of the team, raised the crossbows in their hands and aimed at Chen Mo.

"Crossbowman? Fighting on such a narrow wall, the rebel general on the opposite side actually brought a large number of crossbowmen? Oh, you're done!'

With a secret joy in his heart, Chen Mo did not retreat but advanced, holding a shield in front of him with his left arm, and firing a salvo of crossbow arrows against him, he stubbornly led the county army foot soldiers to rush to the rebels on the opposite side.

He wouldn't give that group of rebel crossbowmen a second chance to shoot!
