After consoling the wounded of the Nanyang Army, Zhao Yu took Sun Xiu to the 'wounded soldiers' in the east and west cities, and comforted the county soldiers and black tiger thieves who were seriously injured on the city walls on both sides.

This matter originally had nothing to do with Sun Xiu, he didn't have to follow Zhao Yu to condole, but he still went, in his words: Whether it is the county army, the Black Tigers, or his Nanyang army, they are consistent with each other in the matter of sticking to Kunyang.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu let him go.

Compared with today's situation of the Nanyang Army's 'more than 300 dead, more than 200 seriously wounded, and more than 700 lightly wounded', the casualties of the county soldiers on the west city wall are not small, with a total of more than 500 people killed before and after, and the rest are seriously injured and lightly wounded, accounting for about 200 each.

At first glance, it seems that the casualties of the county army are not much more than those of the Nanyang army? Could it be that the strength of the county army can match the Nanyang army?

Of course not, in the final analysis, it was because of the black tiger thieves who shared the casualties of the western city wall, and they also paid the price of more than 100 dead, more than 200 wounded, and more than 70 seriously injured today.

Knowing the casualty figures of the Black Tiger Thief, Zhao Yu's mood unconsciously became very bad.

After all, the black tiger thieves who were sent to the city wall by Wang Qing were all brigade wolves in the brigade camp, that is, the wolves that were active outside the city some time ago, although most of the black tiger thieves who died in battle today were new pawns recruited a while ago, but they were also the backbone of his Black Tiger Village - as long as they were given some more time, these Black Tigers who had gradually adapted to fighting would inevitably become the elite veterans of his Black Tiger Village.

But there is no way, compared with these brigade wolves who have undergone a certain amount of training, the quality of the county guards is generally worse, because they have only undergone a short period of training, and most of them have no chance to kill people, unlike the brigade wolves that haunted the night a while ago, under the 'care' of the old pawns in the team, almost all have the experience of killing, at least in the matter of killing, they have already crossed the hurdle in their hearts.

As for the casualties on the side of the western wall, as Ma Gai said, it can be said that they are minimal, and this incident once again proves that the rebels' offensive on the western wall is nothing more than a feint, and its main direction of attack is still the south wall and the east wall.

Around midnight that night, Zhao Yu, who had delayed their meal because of condolences to the wounded, returned to the gate tower of the south city wall hungry.

At this time, Sun Xiu, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Ma Gai went to the 'open-air canteen' near the city gate to eat with great interest, while Zhao Yu and Jingnu went to the city gate tower with Niu Heng to eat because they wanted to hide their identities.

Just when the three of them were having dinner, Le Gui, who was appointed by Zhao Yu as the guard of the North City Gate, came to the South City Gate Tower in person.

After getting Zhao Yu's permission, Le Gui strode into the city gate, looking at Zhao Yu and Jingnu, who had re-put on the mask, if there was still any finished food in front of him, he hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized: "Disturbing the big leader's meal, the crime deserves death......

Of course, Zhao Yu could guess why Le Gui came, waved his hand and asked, "No need." …… Have you found out the whereabouts of the rebels? ”

"Yes."

Le Gui nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "According to the meaning of the big leader, I sent three teams to investigate the rebels who attacked the east, west, and south walls during the day. ”

Zhao Yu frowned, and immediately ordered Jing Nu to order someone to take down the meal, and at the same time immediately sent someone to summon Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Ma Gai, and Sun Xiu, and told a few people about the results of Le Gui's investigation.

Sure enough, when they learned that the three rebels had set up camp only five miles away from Kunyang, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Ma Gai, and Sun Xiu also showed shocked looks.

After all, generally speaking, it is the wisest choice to go down to the village twenty miles away from the enemy, and only five miles...... It's really flattened Kunyang.

"Could it be that you deliberately lured us to send someone to attack at night?"

Sun Xiu, as a partial general of the Nanyang Army, has no bad battlefield experience, and immediately put forward a possible speculation.

But after thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yu still shook his head and vetoed Sun Xiu's guess: "It shouldn't be." …… If I were that Guan Shuo and wanted to lure Kunyang to send troops to attack at night, I would never divide my troops into three units...... The soldiers are divided into three groups, and I have to guess which one the opposite side will attack, isn't this a mistake? Therefore, I think that he intends to besiege my Kunyang, camp on the spot, and build siege equipment on the spot, so that he can attack the city again in the future. ”

Hearing this, Wang Qing sneered and said, "That guy, you really don't take us seriously......

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhao Yu and asked, "You summoned everyone to come and discuss, but you plan to launch a night attack?" Count me in. ”

"Don't worry."

Zhao Yu raised his hand to dissuade Wang Qing, and said: "That's right, I summoned four people to come, and I did intend to attack the rebels at night, but how to attack at night, we have to think about it in the long run." …… That Guan Shuo led the rebels all the way from Jiangxia County to Yingchuan County, during which he broke through countless county seats, but don't underestimate him. I think he will definitely prevent us from sneaking up at night, so we have to fool him first. ”

"How to deceive?" Sun Xiu asked curiously.

I saw Zhao Yu raise his hand and touch the chin of the mask, and thought deeply: "Isn't Guan Shuo preventing us from attacking at night?" Then let's simply use the tactics of exhaustion to dispel his doubts...... That is to say, let's send a team of people to deliberately go to his three camps to make a noise, disturb the rebel soldiers, and make them unpeaceful at night. ”

"Can it still be like this?"

Sun Xiu looked at Zhao Yu in amazement.

In his impression, if the enemy army had been prepared at night, it was obvious that he would have to give up the plan of night attack.

But the leader of the black tiger thief in front of him is good, even if he knows that the other party will be guarded, he can actually think of a way, and this method is really good.

Compared with Sun Xiu's consternation, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Ma Gai were very calm, because they had long been accustomed to Zhao Yu always coming up with some good strategies.

If it weren't for this, how could a person like Wang Qing, who was arrogant and knew Zhao Yu's true age, succumb to Zhao Yu?

"That's a good move."

Wang Qing touched his chin that was still smooth, and said with a smile: "However, don't look for me about the feint, let Chen Mo or Ma Gai go to ......"

Compared to Ma Gai shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Chen Mo rolled his eyes speechlessly, and immediately, Chen Mo asked Zhao Yu: "A feint attack can be taken into account on three sides, but if it is really a sneak attack, there is no manpower in the city that can take care of three places at the same time, in the opinion of the big leader, where should I attack?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu folded his arms and pondered.

As Chen Mo said, attacking the rebels in three directions outside the city at the same time is obviously a fool's dream, first, there is a shortage of manpower, and second, it is easy to deviate - to put it simply, no matter which direction the rebels attack in the east, south, or west at night, it will alarm at least one rebel army, which will make the attack in this place fail.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is better to choose to attack all the way, and, according to the position of the three rebels, it is most dangerous to sneak attack Guan Shuo and Liu De in the south, while it is more dangerous to sneak attack Xu Bao in the east and Xu Kang in the west.

"Let's go east!"

After some contemplation, Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "Judging from today's battle situation, Xu Bao, a rebel general in the east, is obviously also ordered to be responsible for the main attack on my Kunyang, while Huang Kang in the west is just a feint. …… If we can inflict heavy damage on Xu Bao tonight, it means that the pressure on the eastern city wall of the coming day will become extremely small, unless Guan Shuo divides his troops in Guan Shuo. …… As for Huang Kang in the west, he was originally just a feint, and there was not much pressure on the west city wall, and it made little difference whether he attacked him or not. ”

"Don't you try to sneak up on Guan Shuo?" Wang Qing said with great interest: "As long as this one can be dealt a heavy blow, the siege of Kunyang will be solved." ”

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "You're right, the sneak attack on Guan Shuo has the greatest reward, but it also has the greatest risk. As soon as Guan Shuo reacted immediately, pestering the brothers sent to the night attack, and Xu Bao and Huang Kang on the east and west sides heard the news and sent troops to support, then the brothers we sent out were taken into account. ”

"Shh~" Wang Qing raised his eyebrows, whistled, and stopped talking, obviously dispelled by Zhao Yu's words.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu looked around at everyone and said, "If there is no objection, I will assign a task." …… The feint attack on Huang Kang and Xu Bao was handed over to the county army; As for the feint attack on Guanshuo in the south, it was left to the brigade wolf to act at the opportunity. And then the night attack on Xu Bao was also responsible for the traveling wolf. ”

Ma Gai nodded, there was no objection to this, after all, he also understood that it was also a very dangerous thing to feint to attack Guan Shuo and Liu De's army in the south, and only a brigade wolf with rich experience in night activities could be competent.

"Okay, then I'll be responsible for attacking that Xu Bao later, and Commander Chen will be responsible for sitting in Kunyang." Wang Qing smiled and patted Chen Mo's shoulder, but the latter reached out and patted him away without appreciation.

Seeing Zhao Yu decisively formulate tactics and assign tasks decisively, Sun Xiu lost his mind for a while, and felt as if he was back in the army.

"This Zhou Hu...... Is he really just a mountain coward?'

He looked suspiciously at the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves in front of him.

It may be his delusion, he feels that the tone of the black tiger thief leader who has just given orders resembles a general with a heavy army.

How could an ordinary bandit leader make such a proper arrangement in such a short period of time?

Seeing that Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Ma Gai got up and prepared to leave, Sun Xiu came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Then, what about me?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu smiled and said with relief: "General Sun is working hard to defend the city today, so let's take a good rest." …… A sharp soldier like General Sun should sit on the city wall in order to play the greatest role. ”

"This ...... All right. ”

After thinking for a while, Sun Xiu nodded slightly.

A moment later, Sun Xiu followed behind Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Ma Gai, and walked out of the city gate tower.

At this time, he remembered in his mind the domineering of the black tiger thief leader when he sternly warned him, and then he remembered that at dusk today, this Zhou leader took him to comfort the wounded soldiers' kindness, and Fang Cai, this Zhou leader's calmness and conceit when formulating strategies......

He does not deny that Zhou Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves, has a certain degree of advance and retreat, a strategic mind, and a very special charm.
