"Hold the line of defense and be vigilant."

"Beware of a sneak attack by the Kunyang people."

Around three o'clock in the hour, almost at night, there were patrol rebel soldiers knocking on the wood through the streets and alleys, reminding the friendly troops on the position to guard against the impending night attack of the Kunyang people.

The rebel soldiers on the ground all complained.

"You have to attack during the day and defend at night, those damn Kunyang people will not stop at all."

"People have enough rest during the day, and they will naturally attack at night."

From these complaints, it is not difficult to guess that after three days and two nights of difficult street fighting, the rebel soldiers gradually figured out the tactics of 'day vigil and night attack' of the Kunyang soldiers on the opposite side, and they knew very well that the Kunyang soldiers, who were inactive during the day, would fiercely counterattack once they arrived at night, trying to regain the lost positions, so it was natural to increase their vigilance.

But it's one thing to be vigilant, and it's another thing to be able to resist the counterattack of the Kunyang people.

After all, the visibility is poor at night, and no one dares to guarantee whether Kunyang's guards are hiding in places that are beyond the line of vision - especially the damned Kunyang wolves, the cold arrows and ambushes of Kunyang's wolves have made many rebel soldiers panic.

"Uh-"

I don't know how long later, an abrupt scream sounded out of nowhere.

Immediately afterwards, in the city alley on the west side of South Street, there was a sound of fighting and noise.

"Kunyang people, Kunyang people have attacked!"

The terrible screams of one of the rebel soldiers made most of the rebel soldiers in the nearby positions feel panicked.

"Don't panic!"

As the commander of the Nanjie position, the rebel general Cao Wu immediately commanded: "Tell Zhou Hou and Wang Mao to strictly guard the buildings on both sides, if they are captured by the Kunyang people again, I will ask them!" …… Come on, go up a few on the roof. ”

"Yes!"

Under Cao Wu's command, there were immediately rebel soldiers who climbed to the roofs of the buildings on both sides of the street, and condescendingly peeked at the movements around them, whether it was Ju Sheng's position on South Street or the nearby streets.

However, before this group of people could see the movements of Kunyang soldiers in this vicinity, one arrow after another shot towards them, so frightened that those rebel soldiers hurriedly crouched on the roof, and did not dare to show their heads easily, lest they be found by the archers of Kunyang.

The despicable Kunyang people like to hide in secluded places and shoot cold arrows at them.

When the rebels on the opposite side began to act, as Cao Wu's opponent, Ju Sheng was not idle, hiding behind an earthen wall, frowning and looking at the opposite side.

Don't look at the rebel soldiers on the opposite side, they keep accusing Kunyang of being despicable, and always like to hide in the dark and release cold arrows, but in fact, the rebel crossbowmen are no better, and Ju Sheng doesn't want to be killed by a few cold arrows.

"Battalion commander, that Liu Tu, it seems that he has started to act, let's ...... here"

In his ears, a soldier under Ju Sheng asked him for instructions.

"There's no hurry."

Ju Sheng pressed his hand, and while looking at the opposite side, he comforted his soldiers and said, "Let the nearby friendly troops move for a while, let's hold our troops for a while, and see if there is an opportunity on the other side." ”

He didn't mean to let other friendly forces take the lead and deliberately preserve his strength, but he just hadn't found an opportunity to sneak attack Cao Wu for the time being.

In his opinion, the reason why they were able to have such outstanding results yesterday, and recaptured sixty percent of the lost territory in just half an hour, was because the rebels were defenseless, and they were not prepared for the fact that the Kunyang side would organize a counteroffensive of such a scale, so that even Cao Wu, who was on a par with Ju Sheng, was forced to retreat three or four lines of defense at that time.

After all, the night before, the brigade wolves of Kunyang had acted alone to hunt down the rebel soldiers, and had not joined forces with other friendly forces to seize the lost territory.

But tonight is different, with last night's defeat, it is obvious that the opposite side is heavily defended, and at this time, there is no doubt that the Kunyang side will also pay a huge price if it is forced to counterattack.

"Kill—"

In the building on the side of the street, there was a sudden shout, and then the sound of ping-pong sounded, and it was suspected that two teams had collided together, and a fierce fight occurred.

"It's supposed to be a traveling wolf......

Ju Sheng frowned slightly and thought to himself.

In all fairness, Ju Sheng actually did not support tonight's 'night attack', the reason is very simple, because the rebels on the opposite side suffered a big loss last night, and they will definitely strengthen their garrison tonight, and if they force an attack, the soldiers on his Kunyang side will definitely suffer huge losses.

But at the same time, he also understood that his Kunyang side must counterattack tonight and recapture some of the lost positions and alleys, otherwise he would blindly let the rebels advance, and within a few days, his Kunyang side would have no way to retreat.

Therefore, on this night when he knew that the opposite side was already prepared but had to continue to take surprise attacks, Ju Sheng pinned a lot of hopes on the brigade wolves, hoping that this group of rebellious guys who claimed to be the 'sharp of the black tigers' would be the first to open up the situation and revitalize the offensive of friendly forces.

"Tonight, I guess it's going to be a whole night......

Ju Sheng thought secretly.

At the same time, at the south side of South Street, Zhu Yuan, a general under the command of Jiangxia Yishi Qu Shuai Chen Miao, was standing in the middle of the street with his arms crossed, frowning and listening to the current battle report sent by several heralds in front of him.

These battle reports, there is nothing worth caring about, it is nothing more than where there are Kunyang pawns, and where there is a battle, what really makes Zhu Yan feel concerned is the strength of the counterattack of the Kunyang side on the other side.

Recalling last night, the strength of Kunyang's counterattack at that time was not ferocious, and in the first short period of incense, there were thousands of Kunyang soldiers in various streets and alleys in the city, all of whom made a counterattack, and beat his righteous teacher to retreat.

But tonight, Kunyang's counterattack always felt a little weak.

"Command all the soldiers, and keep the position as the first priority!"

After giving another order, Zhu Yu turned around and walked towards the south city wall tower.

He felt that Kunyang's counterattack today was a bit problematic, so he needed to discuss it with Guan Shuo and Chen Miao.

A moment later, Zhu Yu saw the figures of Guan Shuo and Chen Miao by the city wall on the inner side of the South City Gate Tower, he walked forward quickly and saluted, and then said the doubts in his heart: "...... The counterattack of the Kunyang people tonight is far less ferocious than last night, and I don't know what the conspiracy is. ”

In fact, the doubts that Zhu Yu talked about, Guan Shuo and Chen Miao had already seen it.

After listening to Zhu Yan's story, Guan Shuo said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about it. No matter what conspiracy Zhou Hu had, he would definitely recapture some positions tonight, but tonight our army was already prepared, and he had to pay some casualties to regain some lost territory. …… If we are not willing to sacrifice, it will not be bad, and after sunrise tomorrow, our army can continue to advance. All in all, the situation is always in our hands, no matter what the situation may be. ”

Zhu Yu turned his head to look at Chen Miao, and saw that the latter also nodded in support of Guan Shuo's point of view, so he retreated with his fists clenched.

Glancing at the back of the departing general, Chen Miao turned his head to Guan Shuo and said, "It seems that Zhou Hu guessed your 'plan'......"

"Not sure yet." Guan Shuo shook his head, and then snorted softly and said: "Whether he sees through it or not, he will eventually regain some lost territory tonight, the difference is only whether he mobilizes the guards of the city walls on the east and west sides......"

While the two were talking, the sound of fighting in the streets of the city, which had been relatively fierce, gradually receded, and was replaced by an unsettling silence.

Kunyang people's counterattack tonight, that's the end?

Guan Shuo and Chen Miao don't think so.

"What time is it?" Guan Shuo turned his head and asked a soldier beside him.

"About three o'clock." The soldier replied.

Hearing this, Guan Shuo sneered, turned his head to Chen Miao, and said, "His deeds are inevitably too obvious. …… He thought that if he made a feint, I would mistakenly believe that he had given up on tonight's counterattack? ”

Chen Miao smiled and said nothing, but there were many doubts in his eyes.

At this point, Chen Miao agrees with Guan Shuo's point of view, and he also feels that the counterattack of Kunyang people tonight is far more than that.

"For the sake of prudence, let's give an order to the soldiers to be vigilant."

After reminding Guan Shuo, Chen Miao once again set his eyes on the city, and secretly wondered in his heart: Zhou Hu, what do you want to do?

Different from what Chen Miao thought, Zhao Yu at this moment was not in the city, but on the west city gate, standing on the inner city wall with Chen Mo and Ma Gai, looking at the chaos in the city.

After watching for a long time, Zhao Yu sighed slightly and said with emotion: "Sure enough...... The rebels are heavily defended tonight, and we will have to pay a great price if we want to regain some of the lost ground. ”

"But there's no other way, is there?" Chen Mo calmly answered.

“……”

Zhao Yu nodded silently, and then turned his head to ask the guards beside him: "Did Le Gui send a message?" ”

"Not yet."

He Shun, who was standing next to Niu Heng, shook his head and said.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, immediately looked at the city, and said in a deep voice: "As soon as Legui's signal arrives, act according to the original plan!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Mo and Ma Gai nodded knowingly.

At the same time, Le Gui, the official of the North City Gate, was standing on the lookout in front of the North City Gate Tower with his arms crossed, looking at the night outside the city, not attracted by the fighting in the city at all.

It's not that he doesn't care about tonight's counterattack, it's that he has a more important mission.

Suddenly, a glimmer of fire lit in the distance outside the city, as if someone had lit a torch outside the city, and in an instant, two circles were drawn at the same time in the dark night.

"Are you here?"

Le Gui, who was already standing a little sour, suddenly shook up, and after carefully reading the 'message' outside the city, he took a torch from a soldier next to him and ordered: "Temporarily extinguish the fire of the city gate tower." ”

Immediately, the soldiers near the city gate tower extinguished the torches and braziers, leaving only the torch in Le Gui's hand.

Seeing this, Le Gui stepped on a stool brought by the soldiers, waved the torch in his hand towards the outside of the city, and also drew two circles.

It seems that the other party received the signal and extinguished the glimmer of fire.

And Legui also got down from the stool and commanded: "Relight the torches and braziers, and report to the great chief who is on the southern wall, ......and say, 'It has arrived.'" ”

After a while, the henchmen sent by Le Gui came to the West City Gatehouse, and after seeing Zhao Yu, he handed over his hand and reported: "Big Chief, Le Benmu ordered me to come and report, saying that ...... 'has arrived'." ”

"It's finally here!"

Zhao Yu let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Great Commander, you can act." …… He Shun sent someone to order the east city wall and told Wang Qing to start acting. ”

"Yes!"

Chen Mo and He Shun hugged their fists to lead their lives.

As the two left in a hurry, Zhao Yu slowly walked to the side of the city wall, turned his head to look in the direction of the South City Gatehouse, and a little mockery appeared on his face under the mask.

『…… You have your plan, and I have my plan, and I have my plan, and see which of these two will win.'"
