———— the following text————

"Report! Huangxu Lane in the southwest city has been recaptured by our army! ”

"Report! The Li Mansion in the southwest city has been recaptured by our army! ”

"Report! Niuwei Lane in the southeast city has been recaptured by our army! ”

"Report! Pang Lane and Yang Lane on South Street were all recaptured by our army! ”

In the former yaya hall of the county government, a herald named by the militia of the Brotherhood came in an endless stream to report the reality of the counterattack in the city tonight, to the three people in the house at this moment, Zhao Yu, Liu Bi, and Li Xu.

"Okay."

After the last herald left, the county commander Li Xu finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and clenched his fists excitedly, while Liu Bi, the county commander beside him, was also relieved.

One thing to say, at the moment when the county government has handed over all power to Zhao Yu, in fact, whether Liu Bi and Li Xu appear at this moment does not affect Zhao Yu's full command of all the troops in Kunyang to launch a counterattack, and the reason why Liu Bi and Li Xu are here is just because they have no intention of sleeping.

After all, they both knew that tonight he Kunyang would launch the largest counterattack since the rebels entered the city, and the mobilized soldiers, such as the Black Tiger Thieves, the county army, the Brotherhood militia, including the few remaining Nanyang soldiers, totaled six or seven thousand, which was equivalent to using as many as eighty percent of Kunyang's troops.

With such a large-scale counterattack, I don't know the final victory or defeat, how can Liu Bi and Li Xu have the heart to sleep?

Therefore, they came to the front office, in addition to wanting to know the result of tonight's counterattack for the first time, by the way, they also wanted to give a certain black tiger thief leader a staff officer, although the two of them also have self-knowledge, knowing that they may not be able to give Zhou Hu too much advice, but as the so-called 'fool has a thousand thoughts, there must be a gain', even if it can only help a little, Liu Bi and Li Xu are satisfied enough.

After all, this is a war that involves the lives and deaths of all the soldiers in Kunyang County, including them and their relatives.

Judging from the current battle situation, his Kunyang counterattack today is still quite successful, and the rebels did not expect him Kunyang to launch a counterattack of such a scale, so that the battle situation showed a huge advantage in favor of him Kunyang for a while.

"Leader Zhou, your plan has succeeded,"

Turning his head to look at Zhao Yu, who was still looking down at the map on the judgment table, Li Xu said with a little excitement that had not subsided.

He and Liu Bi were also people who understood the true purpose of Zhao Yu's 'telescopic tactics', so they were a little worried about Zhao Yu's adventurous tactics, for fear that the positions he had ceded during the day in Kunyang would not be able to be successfully recaptured at night.

And now everything is going well, which makes Li Xu secretly relieved while being excited.

"It's not easy to say yet."

Zhao Yu raised his head and said in a gentle and calm tone: "Guan Shuo is determined to capture my Kunyang, through two battles, he paid huge sacrifices, and finally occupied nearly half of the southern half of the city, and was recaptured by us tonight, how could he swallow this breath?" ”

Speaking of this, he asked a few black tiger thieves standing in the hall, "On the east and west city walls, can anyone come to report it?" ”

The black tiger thief at the head clenched his fists and replied: "The Great Leader of Qiqi, the Lieutenant of Ma County of the West City Wall, and Wu Zhi of the East City Wall have not sent anyone to summon them so far. ”

This person's name is He Shun, he is an old brother under Niu Heng, tonight Niu Heng was let out by Zhao Yu to spread wild, and He Shun was responsible for guarding the safety of Zhao Yu and Jingnu.

“……”

After hearing He Shun's answer, Zhao Yu thought for a moment, and immediately ordered: "He Shun, immediately send someone to the east and west city walls to confirm it, and once again tell Ma Gai and Wu Zhi that if there are signs of rebel movement outside the city, no matter what the situation is, immediately report to me!" ”

"Yes!"

He Shun hugged his fists and immediately gestured to the two black tiger thieves behind him.

The two black tiger thieves understood, and immediately rushed out of the yamen.

After about a stick of incense, the two black tiger thieves returned to the former yatang one after another and reported to Zhao Yu.

"The Great Leader of Qiqi has confirmed to the western city wall that the county lieutenant has not sent someone to summon him, and there is no sign of rebels outside the city."

"The big leader, Wu Zhi of the East City Wall, did not send anyone to summon him, and at the same time said that there was no sign of rebels outside the city."

“…… That's weird. ”

After hearing the reply of the two black tiger thieves, Zhao Yu couldn't help but underestimate it.

He asked Jingnu, "Ah Jing, how long has it been since our army launched a counterattack?" ”

Jingnu lowered her head and replied softly, "Half an hour has passed. ”

"Half an Hour ......"

Zhao Yu tapped lightly on the table, thoughtful.

He will not be hypocritical, he let the west city wall and the east city wall send half of the soldiers to participate in the counterattack in the city tonight, this 'loophole' arrangement is very witty even in his opinion, but it is undeniable that this trick is also very dangerous, once Huang Kang and Liu De The two rebel generals take the opportunity to lead the army to attack the west city wall and the east city wall, it is very likely to lead to the loss of the city wall on both sides, so Zhao Yucai is vigilant about the situation on both sides of the city wall, and orders Ma Gai and Wu Zhi to report to him immediately as long as there is a disturbance.

But unexpectedly, it has been half an hour since he launched a counterattack in Kunyang, whether it is Huang Kang in the western suburbs or Liu De in the eastern suburbs, there has been no movement in the slightest, and he has not taken the opportunity to attack the city walls on both sides of Kunyang, which makes Zhao Yu feel a little incredible.

Of course, although Huang Kang and Liu De did not move, the rebels in the south city wall still put pressure on the east and west city walls through two ways: the city and the city—among them, the city refers to the passage on the city wall.

But it's a pity that the passage in the city is too narrow, and Ma Gai and Wu Zhi can easily block the rebels, and the pressure in the city, Chen Mo and Wang Qing easily blocked it while regaining the lost position.

All in all, without Huang Kang and Liu De putting pressure on the east and west walls from the outside, it would have been basically impossible for the rebels to take the opportunity to seize the two city walls.

The question is, why didn't Huang Kang and Liu De move?

You must know that their camp is only five miles away from Kunyang, even if you learn the news one step later, even if you want to temporarily wake up the sleeping soldiers in the camp and organize them to prepare for attacking Kunyang, it should be time to calculate the time, after all, it is half an hour!

"It's better to be on the safe side, if the walls on both sides are lost, it will be worth the loss."

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Yu issued two orders: "Pass my order and order Chen Mo and Wang Qing to send half of their soldiers back to the east and west city walls to prevent accidents on the city walls on both sides." ”

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for this order to reach the ears of Chen Mo and Wang Qing.

Of course, the two understood Zhao Yu's concerns, and immediately after receiving the order, they asked He Feng and Chen Gui to lead half of the county army back to the east and west city walls, while the two of them, together with Yang Kang, Shi Yuan, and the remaining half of the county soldiers, continued to seize the lost territory.

Although half of the guards of the city were transferred back, in fact, this did not affect Chen Mo, Wang Qing and others to continue to seize the lost territory, after all, this counterattack has been carried out for half an hour, and the places that can be recaptured have basically been taken back while the rebels are unprepared, and the remaining lost ground, the rebels who have already reacted have also begun to strictly prevent death, unless the Kunyang side is willing to pay huge casualties, it is already difficult to achieve anything, so more than 1,000 soldiers, or more than 1,000 less soldiers, the difference is not very big.

After Liu Tu led his soldiers to attack the position and was repulsed, Ju Sheng said to Sun Xiu regretfully: "It seems that tonight's counterattack can only end here, the rebels have all taken action, it is not appropriate to force the attack again, hold the position and wait for the coming day." ”

At the thought of 'coming day', Ju Sheng couldn't help but shake his head.

Because he knew that after dawn, the rebels began to attack, and the positions they recaptured tonight at their feet would still be lost at that time - Zhou Hu, the leader of the black tiger thieves, wanted to force the opposing rebels to repeatedly compete with them for positions through this flexible and flexible tactic of 'day vigil and night attack', so as to achieve the goal of 'consuming the rebels' vital forces.

Thinking of this, Ju Sheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional: the Changsha Yishi where he used to be has fallen into the quagmire called 'Kunyang' but he doesn't know it, and he still has no good illusions of 'capturing Kunyang'.

Sun Xiu didn't know the complicated emotions in Ju Sheng's heart, so he made a regretful voice on the matter: "Probably this can only be the case...... Send someone to say hello to Commander Chen and Commander Wang, and ask them for their opinions, and if there is no progress, they can also withdraw to the east and west city walls. ”

Ju Sheng nodded, and immediately sent someone to contact Chen Mo and Wang Qing.

Chen Mo was a very rational and calm person, and when he saw that the rebels began to strictly guard against death, he gave up the idea of continuing to attack, and decisively withdrew to the west city wall with Yang Dang.

Compared with Chen Mo's decisiveness, Wang Qing was still a little unwilling, and took Shi Yuan and a county pawn and a brigade wolf to launch another strong attack, until it was confirmed that there was no more progress, Wang Qing had no choice but to take people back to the east city wall, and handed over the beaten position to the brigade wolf and Zhang Feng's soldiers.

This counterattack, which was launched in the middle of the day, ended in only three hours, less than an hour.

Within these three moments, the Kunyang guards recaptured about sixty percent of the lost territory in the southern half of the city, and regained control of two-thirds of the southern half of the city.

In this regard, the general Cao Wu asked the general Zhu Yan: "General, Kunyang has finished the counterattack, will we take advantage of the victory to pursue?" ”

Zhu Yan shook his head and said: "Kunyang soldiers are familiar with the streets and alleys in the city, occupy the best geographical advantages, and fight with them at night, which is not good for our soldiers, not to mention that our soldiers need to rest at the moment......"

Seeing Cao Wu's unwilling expression, he was relieved: "Tonight's counterattack by the Kunyang soldiers, although the tide is fierce, but it also reflects their weakness of 'not daring to confront us and others in the daytime'. ”

“……”

Cao Wu nodded slightly, but there was still some concern in his eyes.

In this way, the two sides stopped fighting and rested, and Kunyang, which was still noisy, immediately became quiet.

From beginning to end, Huang Kang and Liu De, two rebel generals, did not lead the army to appear outside Kunyang City.

In this regard, even the county Cheng Li Xu felt a little incredible, and asked Zhao Yu: "...... Could there be some conspiracy? ”

And at this moment, Zhao Yu had already guessed a few points, and said with a sneer when he heard this: "He just doesn't want to startle the snake, and he will wait for me to repeat the old trick tomorrow night, and take down the east and west city walls in one fell swoop......"

Speaking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"If Guan Shuo really wants to wait for the rabbit, I may be able to take care of the plan and eliminate Huang Kang's camp in one fell swoop......

After thinking about it a few times, Zhao Yu felt more and more feasible.

But the problem is, he Kunyang is now being watched dead by the rebels, how can he have the opportunity to calculate?

Moreover, his soldiers in Kunyang are not well-off.

"Hmm......

Zhao Yu frowned and pondered.

Suddenly, he glanced at another map on the table, a map of the neighboring counties.

With a sweep of his eyes, his gaze suddenly fixed on Xiangcheng and Runan County.

"With ......"

A few thoughts turned in his heart, and the corners of his mouth under the mask were slightly raised.
