Chapter 403: Strategic Victory

"The Kunyang people have come in!"

"The Kunyang people have come in!"

In the Huangkang camp in the western suburbs of Kunyang, many green forest thieves rushed to escape, which made the county officials of Runan and Xiangcheng counties who pursued them feel incredible.

Aren't these people already surrounding Kunyang? Why are you so afraid of Kunyang people?

Even Huang Ben, the county lieutenant of Runan, felt incredible, but this did not prevent him from taking the opportunity to pretend to be a Kunyang person.

No, while leading the county guards to attack the green forest thieves in the camp, he shouted loudly: "I am Ma Gai, the lieutenant of Kunyang County...... I am the ...... of Kunyang County Lieutenant Ma Gai"

As soon as he shouted, the green forest thieves in the camp suddenly panicked.

"Kunyang Green Scarf!"

"It's Kunyang's green scarf!"

The group screamed and fled.

During this period, some green forest thieves pointed out the suspicions of Huang Ben and others, saying that Huang Ben's group did not have the iconic green scarf of 'Kunyang County Pawn' tied to their left arm at all, but few people could calm down and confirm this.

The green forest thieves, who actually had an advantage in numbers, were crushed at the touch of a button in front of the county officials of Runan and Xiangcheng counties, and they had almost no power to resist.

Seeing this situation, the county guards of the two counties subconsciously pursued the green forest thieves who fled in all directions, but fortunately they were stopped by Huang Ben in time: "There is no need to pursue and defeat the people, first set fire to the camp." ”

He knew very well that Zhou Hu's only request for them was to set fire to the camp, and as for taking the opportunity to hunt down the green forest thieves, Zhou Hu didn't even mention it, which showed that the bandit leader didn't care about it.

Under Huang Ben's restraint, the county officials of the two counties no longer blindly pursued the green forest thieves, but set fires everywhere in the camp.

For a time, fires broke out everywhere in Huang Kang's camp, and the barracks and the grass huts where the soldiers lived were all burning, even if Huang Kang immediately sent troops back to help, it was too late to put out the fire.

Seeing this, Huang Ben immediately ordered the whole army to retreat north, so as not to be counterattacked and retaliated by the rebels.

At the same time, Guan Shuo, the commander of the Changsha righteous teacher, and Chen Miao, the commander of the Jiangxia righteous teacher, were standing at the westernmost end of the southern city wall of Kunyang, looking at the burning Huangkang military camp.

Guan Shuo's complexion was particularly ugly.

A moment ago, Chen Miao walked quickly into the Nannan City Gate Tower with a calm face and told Guan Shuo: "Huang Kang's military camp has been attacked. ”

At that time, Guan Shuo didn't believe it at all.

You must know that all the armies under his command are besieging Kunyang at the moment, how can Kunyang have the spare strength and opportunity to sneak attack Huang Kang's military camp?

It wasn't until he saw the raging fire burning in the Huangkang military camp in the distance at this moment that he realized that he had been tricked by Zhou Hu......

Just as Chen Miao had worried before, Zhou Hu had guessed his Guan Shuo's plan in advance, and when he ordered Huang Kang to take the opportunity to seize the western city wall, Zhou Hu took the opportunity to send someone to burn Huang Kang's camp......

The right hand on the city wall clenched suddenly, but then gradually relaxed, Guan Shuo let out a long breath, and muttered in hindsight: "The soldiers of Kunyang have no chance or spare strength to sneak attack Huangkang's camp, and the army of Ye County will not be able to pass...... Is it Xiangcheng or Runan, or the county officials of the two counties are dispatched together......"

“……”

Looking at the look on Guan Shuo's face, Chen Miao was very sensible and did not say anything about it.

In fact, not only Guan Shuo, but even Chen Miao also neglected the two counties of Runan and Xiangcheng, after all, the two counties of Runan and Xiangcheng were too low-key, or too timid, during this 'Kunyang Campaign'.

Do you think, the Battle of Kunyang has been fought for more than a month so far, and the people of Kunyang have suffered heavy casualties for it, but what about Runan and Xiangcheng counties? But he did not send a single soldier to Kunyang to support.

This made Guan Shuo and Chen Miao have a wrong judgment, thinking that Runan and Xiangcheng only seek self-protection, ignoring Kunyang's life and death.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Hu suddenly borrowed reinforcements from Runan and Xiangcheng counties, and stabbed the righteous teacher at a critical time.

After all, Huang Kang and his army are attacking the west city wall at the moment, and there are only some wounded soldiers in the camp.

But strategically, Huang Kang's camp was burned down, which was really fatal, it made a huge gap in the strategy of the righteous master's 'three breads and Kunyang', and what was even worse was that at this moment when winter was approaching, the righteous master had no way to rebuild Huang Kang's camp.

"It's okay......"

With a long breath, Guan Shuo forced a calm smile and said, "As long as our army can successfully lay down the walls on both sides tonight......"

Chen Miao nodded, and didn't say anything in a funny way.

In fact, it was not only him, but even Guan Shuo understood now that tonight's counterattack by the Kunyang side was actually just a cover for Zhou Hu to take the opportunity to burn down the Huangkang military camp.

Since it is a disguise, it is not difficult to guess that Zhou Hu has already transferred the guards of the east and west city walls back to the city wall, how can Huang Kang and Liu De take the city walls on both sides so smoothly?

It is no exaggeration to say that he has lost strategically.

"What kind of general's talent...... That Zhang Zhai can give that Zhou Hu a higher evaluation......

Glancing back at the city, Chen Miao shook his head secretly.

He wouldn't have thought that the leader of the Black Tiger Thief he was thinking about at this moment was actually in the West City Gatehouse, less than two hundred zhang away from him.

There is obviously only one reason why he is here: Zhao Yu wants to confirm the fire in Huang Kang's military camp with his own eyes.

In contrast, Zhao Yu didn't care about the siege battle on the west city wall at this moment, because the defenders sent to the city by Chen Mo and others had already been transferred back, and it was impossible for the army under Huang Kang to attack the city wall.

"Great Chief, the rebel camp in the western suburbs is burning."

Beside Zhao Yu, He Shun, the black tiger thief under Niu Heng, said to Zhao Yu excitedly. 4E

Of course, Zhao Yu had seen it clearly, and said with a smile when he heard this: "Tell the soldiers in the city the good news, and let the soldiers be happy together." ”

"Yes!"

He Shun immediately sent someone to inform the guards of the city of the news.

In fact, the county soldiers who were fighting on the western city wall at this moment more or less noticed the inexplicable fire in the western suburbs, but they didn't know what was going on, until He Shun sent someone to tell them, and they suddenly realized.

They mocked each other while fending off the rebels in front of them.

"Look behind you, what's burning?"

"This group of fools thought they could calculate Leader Zhou, but they fell for Leader Zhou's plan instead."

"Hahaha......"

And Ma Gai, who was one of the people who knew the whole thing, laughed at Huang Kang loudly on the city wall: "Huang Kang, look behind you, your camp is gone!" ”

Hearing this taunt, the county guards on the city wall laughed, and their laughter was full of pride and pride.

On the other hand, the rebel soldiers under Huang Kang's command looked back at the fire in their camp one by one, stunned.

“……”

In the taunt of the county army, Huang Kang turned his head to look behind him, with a look of shame and annoyance on his face, and at the same time secretly scolded the waste of the group of green forest thieves.

But right now, obviously not the time to think about this, he shouted to boost morale: "Don't care about the big camp, as long as you take the city wall in front of you and capture Kunyang, we can all enter the city to roast the fire!" ”

"Hah! Still hard at that! ”

Hearing Huang Kang's shouting from afar, Ma Gai sneered, and also boosted morale: "Brothers, defend the city wall. …… As long as this attack is blocked, Huang Kang will have to roll back to the rebel camp in the southern suburbs! ”

It was also to boost morale, but it was obviously the morale of the county army that was higher, and it repelled the rebel offensive again and again, and Huang Kang was indignant and helpless.

In desperation, Huang Kang could only send someone to ask Guan Shuo for instructions.

At the same time, Guan Shuo and Chen Miao had already returned to the inner side of the South City Gate Tower, climbing high to look at the confrontation in the city.

As Chen Miao guessed, today's counterattack by the Kunyang side was just a cover for Zhou Hu to 'seek the Huangkang camp', and when he had succeeded, the counterattack of the Kunyang pawns in the city was immediately terminated, so that the generals like Cao Wu and other Qu generals who commanded the battle on the front line felt inexplicable, and did not understand why the Kunyang people suddenly stopped counterattacking.

"Qu Shuai."

Just when Guan Shuo looked down at the battlefield in the city with a straight face, or a soldier came to say: "General Huang Kang has been attacking the western city wall for a long time, and the casualties are huge, so he sent someone to ask for ......instructions."

Guan Shuo kept a straight face and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Chen Miao persuaded in a low voice: "Zhou Hu has succeeded, the people of Kunyang have turned to the defensive in an all-round way, and there is no need to fight again......

In fact, Guan Shuo understands these truths, he just can't be angry.

After being silent for a long time, he sighed, nodded and said, "It's called Huang Kang...... Withdraw to the camp south of my city. …… Tell Liu De to also withdraw, withdraw to his camp in the east of the city, and Hugh will even lose his camp. ”

Under Guan Shuo's order, Huang Kang withdrew from outside the western city wall of Kunyang with a sense of indignation, and withdrew to Guan Shuo's camp in disgrace as if he was ridiculed by those county officials on the western city wall.

And in the city, the contest between Kunyang and the rebels gradually calmed down.

"Battalion commander, why don't you attack?"

Or some soldiers asked the battalion commander Ju Sheng in confusion, but Ju Sheng didn't know what was going on, so he could only send someone to ask Sun Xiu, who gave the order.

After a while, Sun Xiu sent someone to explain the reason: "There is no need to fight back, our army's counterattack tonight is just a cover to deceive the rebels, the purpose is to destroy the camp of the rebel general Huang Kang in the western suburbs outside the city, and about half an hour ago, our army has achieved its goal." ”

After hearing this, Ju Sheng was really taken aback.

Zhou Hu took the Huangkang military camp in the western suburbs?

Shocked in his heart, he immediately went to see Sun Xiu in person and asked what happened.

Sun Xiu said casually: "...... Guan Shuo thought he was smart, and when he saw that we had transferred the soldiers from the east and west city walls to the city, he wanted to take the opportunity to call Huang Kang and Liu De to capture the city walls on both sides, but he never thought that the leader of Zhou had already guessed his intentions, and he would take the plan and eliminate Huang Kang's camp in one fell swoop......"

As generals with battlefield experience, Sun Xiu and Ju Sheng certainly understood what it meant for the rebels to lose Huang Kang's barracks.

If nothing else, let's just say one thing: when Runan and Xiangcheng sent reinforcements in the future, the rebels could not send troops to intercept them in time.

"That's a ......"

Ju Sheng shook his head in disbelief.

The righteous teacher where he used to be, when he had completely surrounded Kunyang, lost a camp by himself, causing a huge gap in the blockade of Kunyang, which is simply laughable.

But standing in Kunyang's position, Ju Sheng is of course glad for this.

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

Everywhere in the city, the cheers of Kunyang soldiers gradually sounded, and it was obvious that the news of 'the rebels in the western suburbs were destroyed' had reached the ears of the county soldiers in the city, although most people did not understand how it was done, but this did not prevent them from cheering loudly.

On the other hand, the rebel soldiers looked at each other in the cheers of the Kunyang soldiers.
