『…… The other side is almost going to attack.'"

Around three o'clock, Ju Sheng, the commander of the second battalion of the brigade battalion, stood in front of the position, silently watching the rebel soldiers in the distance opposite.

The so-called position, that is, refers to the earthen wall.

These earthen walls, taking the earthen wall beside Ju Sheng as an example, to be exact, it is more than half a human height, almost the height of an adult's shoulder, and as for the thickness, it is about an arm's length, and an adult falls into it and rubs it more than enough.

In front of the earthen wall, there is a deep ditch of corresponding width, which ensures that the earthen wall is difficult for the rebels to climb head-on.

Although the idea was good, it was not a deliberate operation of the Brotherhood militia, and the deep ditch was only created because the Brotherhood militia dug up the dirt and used it to build the earthen wall behind it.

In one operation, there is this ditch and a wall, which is very ingenious.

Interestingly, the Brotherhood militia didn't completely seal off the entire street when they built up the earthen wall, in fact it only took up half of the street.

Not only the ditch wall where Ju Sheng is located, but in fact all the ditch walls of his street are like this, the difference is only that these ditch walls separated by ten zhang are staggered: the ditch wall in front is on the left side of the street, then the ditch wall behind it is on the right side of the street, and so on.

The soldiers also had their own speculations about this strange way of fortifying the wall, and most of them believed that the Brotherhood militia had built only half of the ditch wall due to the rush of time.

But Ju Sheng didn't think so, he felt that the design of the half-ditch wall might be to facilitate the counterattack.

Yes, a counteroffensive.

In the case of the huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and me, even Ju Sheng himself didn't understand why he thought of this answer.

But one thing is certain, that is, he does not think that Kunyang is so defeated.

The most powerful evidence of this is that the whole city is too quiet......

A city with at least thousands of households, on the second day after the enemy broke through the walls, it was quiet and undisturbed, and Ju Sheng had never seen such a strange scene.

"Someone came out."

The soldier beside Ju Sheng reminded in a low voice.

Ju Sheng squinted his eyes, and immediately saw that on the other side of the 'wall' more than ten zhang away, a general appeared, looking towards this side.

Speaking of the 'barricade', Ju Sheng couldn't help but think of what happened yesterday at dusk.

At that time, the Changsha Yishi, who had just captured the south city wall of Kunyang, rushed to the side of Nanjie in a high mood, but was ambushed by the Kunyang guards on three sides - Kunyang's crossbowmen, either standing in the position where he was standing at the moment, or hiding in the buildings on both sides of the street, launched a random shot at the Changsha Yishi soldiers who rushed into the street, and the shooting made those righteous soldiers look sluggish, leaving many corpses and retreating in a hurry.

The 'wall' on the opposite side was built up by the soldiers of Changsha Yishi with corpses and various sundries.

Just as he sighed, a question sounded on the other side: "...... over there?" Is it Ju Sheng? ”

"Huh?"

Ju Sheng was slightly stunned, squinted his eyes and took a closer look, only then did he recognize the nominal division general opposite, Qu Shuai Guan Shuo's Qu general, Cao Wu.

As a general, the most embarrassing thing is naturally to meet a familiar person, and the same is true for Ju Sheng.

However, after a moment of embarrassment, Ju Sheng still clasped his fists and said hello from afar: "Cao Wu, don't come unharmed." ”

"Is it really Ju Sheng?"

At a distance of more than ten zhang, Cao Wu frowned and looked at Ju Sheng in the distance, and said in a complicated tone: "Someone told me before, saying that you voted for Kunyang, but I didn't believe it at that time, but I didn't expect it to be true...... Stupidity! ”

In Cao Wu's opinion, it was only a matter of time before his righteous teacher completely captured Kunyang, and Ju Sheng, as a general of his righteous teacher, actually surrendered to Kunyang before this incident, isn't it stupid or nothing?

Hearing Cao Wu's evaluation from afar, Ju Sheng's face was slightly gloomy.

Cao Wu on the other side, how could he pay attention to his embarrassment that he was trapped in an ambush in Kunyang that day, unable to break through the siege, and unable to escape?

What's more, Zhou Hu told him that he and his soldiers, including Wu Zhi, who was originally connected with him, were just 'bait' and 'abandoned son' for Guan Shuo's night attack on Kunyang that day.

It's ridiculous that Cao Wu on the other side obviously doesn't know anything, but he is still talking nonsense about him.

Just as he was secretly sneering, Cao Wu on the other side began to persuade him: "Ju Sheng, for the sake of the past robes, if you lead the crowd to surrender, I can intercede with Guan Shuai on your behalf." ”

"Intercession?"

The mockery on Ju Sheng's face became even stronger.

Since he took the initiative to go out of the city a few days ago, contacted the patrol of the Changsha Yishi, and revealed the secret of the Yishi's 'refusal to exchange food for prisoners' to the ordinary soldiers, he never thought of getting Guan Shuo's forgiveness again, and Guan Shuo could not forgive him, because his actions were ruining the reputation of the Yishi general, how could Guan Shuo spare him?

Thinking of this, Ju Sheng persuaded in turn and said: "Cao Wu, for the sake of the past robe, Ju will persuade you a few words." …… Previously, Ju also firmly believed that the righteous teacher of Changsha was a righteous teacher, but all the way to this point, Ju gradually found that the righteous teacher is not as righteous as you and I imagined, just take the righteous teacher attacking Kunyang as an example, Kunyang people are to defend their hometown and stick to the city, this is justice! But righteous teacher, what kind of justice is it for to destroy and seize the hometown of Kunyang people? ”

"......" Cao Wu in the distance suddenly stopped talking.

At this time, Cao Wu persuaded left and right: "General Qu, why do you have to talk nonsense with that traitor?" When our army captures Kunyang, this thief's plan will not end well. ”

Cao Wu nodded, and said the last sentence to Ju Sheng in the distance: "It's a pity, it seems that you and I can only be enemies." ”

"I'm afraid so."

Ju Sheng in the distance replied, his tone sounding unrepentant to Cao Wu and the others.

In this regard, Cao Wu also couldn't understand why Ju Sheng wanted to stand on Kunyang's side, even when the defeat of Kunyang was decided.

However, as the soldiers beside him said, since Ju Sheng insisted on being buried with Kunyang, he could only let it go, after all, his friendship with Ju Sheng was not very deep.

"Qu Jiang."

A soldier hurriedly came to Cao Wu, clasped his fists and said, "General Zhu Yu ordered you to fight with the traitors of the righteous master and prepare to attack quickly. ”

"Please return to General Zhu Yuan, Cao Wu will receive the order."

Cao Wu was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect the general Zhu Yu to hear his conversation with Ju Sheng.

After the herald left, Cao Wu frowned and looked up at the buildings on both sides of the street.

He knew very well that the buildings on both sides of the street were hiding Kunyang's guards, and there were quite a few crossbowmen, and if he attacked rashly, those crossbowmen would shoot at them from the windows on the second floor.

In other words, before attacking in a big way, he had to send additional men to seize the buildings on both sides.

After thinking about it, he called out loudly: "Zhou Hou, Wang Mao." ”

A moment later, two non-commissioned officers came to his side, and they were the two uncles under his command, or the hundred generals.

"Do you see the buildings on either side? Among them are the soldiers hiding in Kunyang, and later, when I lead the crowd to attack the opposite side, you two will lead people to seize the buildings on both sides. ”

"Obey!"

Zhou Hou and Wang Mao responded with their fists.

Seeing this, Cao Wu immediately organized a team of about 300 people.

It's not that he underestimated Ju Sheng on the other side, nor that his troops are insufficient, the problem is that there is only so much place on this south street in Kunyang, even if more people are sent, it won't help.

"Up!"

There were no war drums, no battle horns, only Cao Wu gave an order, and three hundred rebel soldiers shouted and poured into the South Street, heading towards the earthen wall defense where Ju Sheng and others were located in the distance.

Unfazed, Ju Sheng calmly ordered the crossbowmen behind the earthen wall to shoot at will, while he led a team of contradictory hands mixed with black tiger thieves and the Brotherhood militia to stick to the side without the cover of the earthen wall.

"Whoosh-"

Under Ju Sheng's order, the Kunyang crossbowmen behind the earthen wall began to shoot.

Pity the oncoming rebel soldiers, there is no room to hide in this relatively narrow street, even if the crossbowmen of the Kunyang side shoot with their eyes closed, they can shoot the target.

It's a pity that the lethality of Kunyang Fang's shoddy crossbow arrows is very average, unless it hits the enemy's face, throat and other vital points exposed outside the armor, otherwise, the armor on the rebel non-commissioned soldier can reduce a lot of damage.

In the blink of an eye, three hundred rebels were in front of the earthen wall.

However, their offensive ended there, facing half of the earthen wall and half of Kunyang's conflicting defense, the rebels simply could not open the situation in a short time.

You must know that although most of the guards in Kunyang are not so strong, but this battle has been fought to this day, even the Brotherhood militia knows how to form a formation for defense, know how to use shields, how to use the weapons in their hands, and it is said that among the guards, there are some black tiger thieves wearing black scarves.

What is the Black Tiger Thief? The Black Tiger Thief is the elite!

Even the rebel soldiers knew this, so they instinctively feared anyone who wore a black turban—even though the Black Tiger Thieves had recruited many from the Brotherhood militia and were gradually becoming a mixed bag.

"Bell, bell, bell—"

"Poof—"

"Poof—"

In a chaotic battle, the rebel soldiers could not break through the defense line composed of contradictory hands under Ju Sheng's command, and one after another, the rebel soldiers were stabbed to death by Kunyang's spears due to the restrictions of the terrain.

And on the buildings on both sides of the street, behind those windows, the Kunyang crossbowmen lurking there also began to shoot indiscriminately at the rebels on the street.

It's a real shot with your eyes closed.

During this period, some self-proclaimed clever rebels tried to climb the earthen wall, but unfortunately, they were wearing armor and could not overcome the earthen wall as high as an adult's shoulder, and even worse, there was still a deep ditch under their feet, which made these self-proclaimed clever rebel soldiers end up hanging on the earthen wall.

It wasn't until the crossbowmen behind the earthen wall stabbed their hands with their dags that the gang screamed and fell into the ditch.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Uncle Commander Zhou Hou also led a team of soldiers to crash through the door of a building on the side of the road that was bolted from the inside, and cautiously broke into it.

It's a different battlefield than the fighting in the streets.
