Chapter 344: The Second Battle of Kunyang (2)

Given that the rebels were already in the city and were about to launch an offensive, Zhao Yu was no longer too polite.

I saw him sitting on the main seat and looking around at the people in the building, and said in a deep voice: "You have also seen that the number of rebels is really a bit desperate...... Any discord will make me lose the only chance of winning, and I hope you can understand this. ”

Hearing this, everyone present looked at Sun Xiu, the general of the Nanyang Army, intentionally or unintentionally.

Perhaps noticing the strange gazes of others, or hearing the reminder in Zhao Yu's words, Sun Xiu said expressionlessly: "Leader Zhou, please rest assured, in terms of sticking to Kunyang, there is no disagreement between the last general, Leader Zhou, and everyone here. As for the ...... after that"

He glanced at Zhao Yu with the mask, exhaled slightly, and said with a fist: "As long as Kunyang can hold it, the last general is willing to obey Leader Zhou...... Any command. ”

Zhao Yu smiled and nodded, "General Sun still knows right from wrong." …… After this battle, Zhou will ask Liu Xianling to personally write a letter to General Wang, detailing the bravery of the general and his soldiers in Kunyang. ”

Hearing this obvious overture, Sun Xiu's expressionless face showed a slight smile: "Thank you, Leader Zhou." ”

Zhao Yu smiled and waved his hand, and then said to everyone: "Okay, time is in a hurry, Zhou will assign your responsibilities." Looking at the rebels' actions outside the city, it is not difficult to guess that they will adopt the strategy of encircling three and one, which means that we will have to take care of the defense of the three walls at the same time...... This side of the southern city wall will obviously be the main direction of attack of the rebels, so ......"

He turned his head to look at Sun Xiu and said in an inquiring tone: "Zhou hopes that General Sun will guard the front line and defeat the arrogance of the rebels, is it okay?" ”

Sun Xiu also understood that the three thousand Nanyang soldiers under his command were the most trustworthy force in the city to defend the city, so he also realized something, and after hearing Zhao Yu's words, he nodded after a little hesitation and said, "Yes." ”

"Okay."

Zhao Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since this is the case, Zhou appointed General Sun as the chief general of the southern city wall, as for the deputy general...... Grand Commander? ”

Seeing Zhao Yu looking at him, Chen Mo immediately understood, hugged his fists and said, "Chen is willing to be a deputy general." ”

Sun Xiu turned his head to look at Chen Mo and nodded at the latter, obviously he also knew that Chen Mo, who served as the commander of the Black Tiger Village, was the number one fierce general under Zhou Hu, and his personal strength might be above his Sun Xiu.

With such a fierce general as his lieutenant, what is Sun Xiu dissatisfied with?

However, Sun Xiu has no objection, it does not mean that others have no opinion, no, Wang Qing immediately said: "What about me?" ”

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "You and Ma County Lieutenant are the main generals of the east and west city walls respectively......"

"Which side is more aggressive?" Wang Qing asked.

Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "Judging from the number of rebels in the army, it should be that the threat of the east city wall is greater......"

"Then I'll take the east wall." Wang Qing turned his head to look at Ma Gai, nodded and said, "Ma Gai, you don't have any opinions, right?" ”

What can Ma Gai say?

He wasn't as murderous as Wang Qing, and he didn't even want to fight the rebels if it weren't for his duty.

No, he spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't care.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu said again: "The brigade camp is temporarily subsumed into the southern city wall, of which the brigade wolf is divided into two and sent to the east city wall and the west city wall respectively; The county army was also divided into two, and Shi Yuan and Chen Gui were transferred to the east city wall and obeyed Wang Qing's orders; The rest of Yang Kang, He Feng and others were transferred to the west city wall and obeyed Ma Gai's orders. …… There should be no fighting at the north gate, but some guards should still be stationed, so Le Gui led 500 people to garrison it. If there is any disturbance, report it immediately. ”

The people in the building didn't speak, just quietly listened to Zhao Yu's arrangement.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Zhao Yu continued to order: "Chen Cai, you are still in charge of the workshop in the city, and urge the workshop workers to step up the construction of crossbows and arrows......

"Yes!" Chen Cai clenched his fists and took his life.

"Zhang Feng and Ma Hong, you two each lead half of the militia of the Brotherhood. …… Zhang Feng, you are responsible for maintaining order in the city and assisting Liu Xianling to pacify the people of the county; Ma Hong, you assisted Li Xiancheng in transporting the things needed for the three city walls. As he spoke, Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Liu Bi and Li Xu, and said in a more gentle tone: "Liu County Commander is still responsible for pacifying the county people in the city, boosting morale, and motivating the county people to bravely fight against the rebels; Li Xiancheng was responsible for coordinating the material needs of various places. I sent Zhang Feng and Ma Hong to assist the two, what do you think? ”

Liu Bi and Li Xu immediately nodded in agreement.

As one of the 'three chiefs' of the Kunyang County Ya, they don't need to stand at the head of the city to fight the rebels, they only need to provide logistics support in the city, what else can they be dissatisfied with?

Just as Zhao Yu was deploying, he suddenly saw Liu Tu walking into the building quickly, clasping his fists and saying: "Big leader, the rebels have sent people to shout and persuade me to surrender Kunyang Kaicheng." ”

Zhao Yu nodded, and instructed everyone: "Okay, everyone will do their jobs. ”

Hearing this, everyone in the house got up with their fists clenched and retreated.

At this time, Zhao Yu also took Jingnu, Niu Heng, Sun Xiu, Chen Mo and others to the open space in front of the city gate tower, standing on the inside of the wall battlement and looking outside the city.

Sure enough, I saw that about a dozen zhang away from the city wall, there were three or two Changsha soldiers on horseback who were shouting in the direction of the city gate tower: "...... Again, if you open the city gate and surrender quickly, Qu Shuai can not blame the past for his previous stubborn resistance, if he is stubborn and stubbornly resists to the end, then the day the city is broken, he will slaughter and wait......"

Looking up and looking into the distance outside the city, Zhao Yu saw that about a mile and a half away from the city wall, tens of thousands of rebels and the Green Forest Army had lined up in a line, and there were five phalanxes, three in the front and two in the back, almost occupying the open space on the outskirts.

Glancing at the few Changsha soldiers who were still shouting under the city at the moment, Zhao Yu said calmly: "There's nothing to say, shoot him." ”

At this time, Liu Bi and Li Xu had not yet gone down the city, and they were still standing beside Zhao Yu and watching outside the city.

Seeing that Zhao Yu ordered to shoot the enemy soldiers shouting outside the city, Li Xu hesitated and dissuaded: "The envoy of persuasion, if you retreat, it is against etiquette to kill him." ”

"I didn't expect Li Xu, in terms of pedantry is no less than Xun Yi......

Zhao Yu shook his head secretly, and said unmoved: "Kill the envoy to show Will!" …… Shoot him! ”

"I'll come."

Seeing that the leader of the black tiger thieves was so decisive, Sun Xiu appreciated it in his heart, took a bow from the guard behind him, and aimed at the Changsha sergeant who shouted under the city.

Obviously, the Changsha soldiers under the city also noticed Sun Xiu, who was drawing a bow, and their faces were shocked, and they hurriedly turned their horses and fled.

However, Sun Xiu was not in a hurry, but when he heard the sound of a bowstring, the shouting soldier fell off his horse, leaving only one war horse and the other two Changsha sergeants to flee in a hurry.

"Good marksmanship."

Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Sun Xiu and praised him.

"It's just a little trick to carve insects."

Sun Xiu proudly and proudly handed the bow to the guards behind him.

After a while, the Changsha sergeants who shouted came to their own commander Guan Shuo, and said with hatred: "Qu Shuai, Kunyang not only refused to listen to good advice, but also shot arrows ......"

γ€Žβ€¦β€¦ Zhou Hu!!'

Guan Shuo's seemingly calm face flashed a little anger, nodded and said, "Okay, I know." ”

A moment later, several soldiers rode horses to report to Guan Shuo.

"Qi Yu Qu Shuai, General Liu De is ready to attack the city."

"Qi Qi Qu Shuai, General Xu Bao is ready to attack the city."

"Marshal Qiyu, General Huang Kang is ready to attack the city."

"Good!"

Guan Shuo nodded, and commanded left and right: "Beat the war drums and prepare to attack the city!" ”

"Yes!"

Under Guan Shuo's order, the rebel army deployed on the outskirts of Kunyang Nancheng sounded the drums of war.

At first, the drum beat became more and more rapid.

At one of the nodes, Liu De, the general under Guan Shuo, came to the front of the array, drew his sword and pointed to the southern city wall of Kunyang, and shouted: "I am Liu De, the front army listens to my orders, Huang Ji Department, Wei Hong Department, Gao Yu Department...... Advance! ”

As soon as the words fell, the heralds behind him immediately rushed in all directions, delivering the general's order.

"General Liu De has an order, ordering the Huang Ji Department, the Wei Hong Department, and the Gao Yu Department to attack the city immediately!"

"General Liu De has an order, ordering the Huang Ji Department, the Wei Hong Department, and the Gao Yu Department to attack the city immediately!"

When the heralds shouted, Liu De's three generals, including Huang Ji, Wei Hong, and Gao Yu, raised their arms and shouted at the same time: "The general has an order, take our department as the vanguard, I hope you will fight bravely to kill the enemy, and when the city is broken, there will be a lot of rewards!" ”

"Oh!!"

"Whoa!!"

In the several Qubu phalanxes of 1 or 2,000 people who were named, those Changsha soldiers raised their arms and shouted.

When the morale of these people reached a certain level, several generals such as Huang Ji, Wei Hong, and Gao Yu waved their swords almost simultaneously and pointed in the direction of the city wall of Kunyang, shouting: "Advance - attackβ€”β€”!! ”

"Wowβ€”β€”!!"

After a roar of thunder swept through, these thousands of soldiers rushed towards the Kunyang city wall like a tidal wave.

At this time, on the south gate tower of Kunyang, even if Zhao Yu had guessed from the beginning that the south city wall where he was located would be the main direction of attack of the rebels, he was frightened by the posture of the rebels outside the city throwing thousands of foot soldiers in one go.

You must know that these are the foot soldiers who are responsible for climbing the city walls, and there are also crossbowmen who are responsible for suppressing Kunyang with a salvo.

"General Sun."

Zhao Yu turned his head and gestured to Sun Xiu.

I don't know if I heard anything from Zhao Yu's words, Sun Xiu Zhengse said: "Leader Zhou, please rest assured, my soldiers of the Nanyang Army are the most heroic soldiers in the world!" ”

Listening to this sentence alone, it seems to be Sun Xiu's boasting, but looking at the Nanyang soldiers who have been replaced on the city wall at this moment, seeing them holding spears and shields, and guarding their posts with expressionless faces, neither turning heads nor ears to each other, nor retreating timidly, it can be seen that the quality of this group of soldiers is indeed different, at least they are disciplined and have undergone strict training.

The rebels outside the city were very fast, and soon rushed into the bow range of the southern city wall, and Sun Xiu, who had already prepared, shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

For a time, hundreds of arrows were fired on the Kunyang city wall, and hundreds of arrows were swishing towards the rebel soldiers outside the city, but the effect was very average, after all, those rebel soldiers were not pseudo-thieves, all of them were wearing armor, and some even held shields.

"Bang."

"Bang bang."

The Nanyang soldiers on the city wall only had time to fire two volleys, and those rebel soldiers had already erected the long ladder for the siege on the outside of the city wall.

Seeing this situation, Sun Xiu said goodbye to Zhao Yu, and walked quickly to the city walls on both sides of the city gate tower with Chen Mo, shouting: "Nanyang Army!" …… Engage the enemy!! ”

"Drink!"

With a neat shout, the 1,000 Nanyang soldiers on the city wall put on a posture to meet the enemy, in terms of neatness and order, whether it was a black tiger thief or a county army, they were far from reaching.
