"Wise decision...... What?'

After hearing this praise from the leader of the black tiger thieves beside him, Wu Zhi secretly smiled bitterly.

Because to be exact, he did not 'wisely' choose to fall to Kunyang, but was 'forced to be wise', because the leader of the black tiger thieves beside him calmly asked him when he first saw him: "What benefits did the rebels outside the city promise you to promise as their internal response?" ”

Hearing this, Wu Zhi was shocked.

He wanted to defend himself, but looking at the eyes under the mask of this Zhou leader, he finally told the truth one by one, and shook out the original thing that Guan Shuo and Chen Miao wanted him to be the internal response.

Therefore, he is not 'wise', but should be said to be 'acquaintance'.

And after Wu Zhi confessed, in line with the principle of 'don't waste the opportunity', Zhao Yu signaled the county army and Wu Zhi's people to join forces to stage a scene, intending to trick a group of rebels into the city to kill.

The so-called 'corpses everywhere' seen by the rebel general Ju Sheng are just the corpses of guards who have not yet been claimed by their relatives - it is not difficult to find some corpses in Kunyang today who are deceiving the rebels.

However, it seems that the rebel general who led the troops on the opposite side was also quite cautious, and soon realized that this was a trap, which prompted Zhao Yu's side to start the net collection operation in advance.

Of course, this is not a big problem, after all, whether it is killing 500 rebels or 1,000 tonight, it is a drain on the rebels' living forces, even if it is only one, it is worth rejoicing.

What's more, this opportunity was still in vain.

It's just that the price is a little too big - in order to get Wu Zhi to cooperate with him, Zhao Yu made a promise to Wu Zhi, although Kunyang County could not shelter the group of refugees under Wu Zhi for the time being, Zhao Yu allowed them to defect to the Black Tiger Village, and promised to give them enough food for the winter.

Considering that the group of refugees led by Wu Zhi had tens of thousands, or even more than that, I have to say that this was a huge burden for him in the Black Tiger Village.

But Zhao Yu can't help it, after all, if he refuses the group of refugees in Zhushan this time, the group of refugees will definitely fall to the rebels, and when the time comes, that group of refugees is very likely to confess the location of his Black Tiger Village to the rebels, and then at the instigation of the rebels, it will turn into an attack on the front of his Black Tiger Village.

At that time, there is no need for rebels to use soldiers, and he may not be able to defend the Black Tiger Village, so he can only retreat to the second village.

Rather than this, it is better to spend a little cost to encircle the group of refugees in Zhushan, so that it can not only get the favor of Wu Zhi and others, but also supplement the garrison force on the side of the Black Tiger Village - although most of the refugees in Zhushan are old, weak, sick and disabled, but if they are picked, they may not be able to choose some people to supplement the two armies of his Black Tiger Village's 'Zhai Ban' and 'Mountain Patrol'.

The two armies of the Zhai Ban and the Mountain Patrol are basically still on paper at present.

"Wow."

A black tiger thief ran up to the attic, clenched his fists and said, "Chief, Liu Xian Ling and Li Xian Cheng are here." ”

Zhao Yu nodded.

Immediately, the county commander Liu Bi and the county magistrate Li Xu came to the attic, and they made a special trip to find Zhao Yu.

As soon as he saw Zhao Yu, Li Xu asked anxiously, "Leader Zhou, how is the battle going?" ”

Zhao Yu spread his hands and smiled: "Everything is going well, according to the report from the soldiers in front, Chen Mo has led people to surround the rebels who entered the city on North Street, this group of rebels cannot advance or retreat, if they do not know each other to surrender, the annihilation of the whole army is only inevitable." ”

Hearing this, Li Xu was really relieved, nodded and wanted to say something, but after glancing at Wu Zhi, he kept silent.

Of course, Wu Zhi noticed Li Xu's expression, and knew very well that he was 'newly invested' in Kunyang, and these people in Kunyang still didn't trust him.

He clenched his fists playfully and said: "Leader Zhou, if you don't mind, Wu also hopes to make a contribution to repay Kunyang and Leader Zhou's affection." ”

Zhao Yu naturally understood why Wu Zhi made this move, and nodded slightly.

However, after Wu Zhi was about to turn around and leave, he stretched out his right hand and said solemnly: "Before that, please allow me to represent the Kunyang County Army and welcome the addition of County Lieutenant Wu." ”

“……”

Wu Zhi was stunned, but immediately held Zhao Yu's hand: "I'm honored." ”

Watching Wu Zhi walk down the attic, Li Xu frowned and said, "This Wu Zhi ...... Don't be gullible, if it weren't for the leader of Zhou to see through him, maybe he would really fall to the rebels. ”

"Not necessarily."

Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "When I deceived Wu Zhi, he was not obviously flustered, and after a little hesitation, he immediately informed Zhou of the collusion with the rebels, and I guess he also thought of retreating...... Perhaps he also guessed that he was just an 'outcast' of the rebels. …… Let's go to the South City Gate Tower first. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Bi and Li Xu glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

After a while, Zhao Yu took Jingnu and Niu Heng, as well as Liu Bi and Li Xu, to the South City Gatehouse.

I saw that in front of the Nancheng Gatehouse, Sun Xiu, the general of the Nanyang Army, and Liu Tu, the black tiger thief, were standing with their arms crossed, frowning and looking at the darkness outside the city.

Turning his head and seeing Zhao Yu and others coming, Sun Xiu and Liu Tu hugged their fists.

Zhao Yu waved his hand and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Sun Xiu shook his head and said, "There is no movement for the time being......

As he spoke, he took a few steps closer to Zhao Yu and asked in a low voice, "Chief Zhou, will the rebels really come to attack the southern city wall?" "I love eBooks

Not only Sun Xiu was confused, but even Liu Bi, Li Xu, Liu Tu and others were puzzled.

After Wu Zhi defected, they all knew that the rebels would launch an offensive on the weak northern city wall tonight, using Wu Zhi and others as internal responses to enter the city in one fell swoop, so Zhao Yucai proposed to plan and trick the group of rebels into the city to kill.

But at the same time, Zhao Yu also proposed that the remaining three city walls, especially the south city wall, should be on high alert to prevent the rebels from 'attacking the east and west'.

Sun Xiu and Liu Tu pondered about this matter for a long time, but they still didn't come up with a reason.

After leading everyone into the city gate tower, Zhao Yu explained with a chuckle: "I just doubt this. …… I suspect that Wu Zhi may be just an outcast of the rebels, or rather, the rebels are suspicious. ”

Seeing that several people present showed puzzled expressions, he continued to explain: "Wu Zhi is the county lieutenant of Suiping County, because he was dissatisfied with some of my Kunyang's previous behaviors, he resolutely led that group of refugees to flee into Zhushan...... There's definitely something wrong with that. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Bi and Li Xu also nodded.

Indeed, not only Zhao Yu saw Wu Zhi's problem, but also saw that there were many people in this matter, Liu Bi, Li Xu, Chen Mo, Ma Gai and others all saw the problem.

At this time, Zhao Yu continued: "...... I can see the problem at a glance, is it really that Guan Shuo doesn't know? He's also a rebel commander! Therefore, in my opinion, Guan Shuo is afraid that he doesn't care very much about whether Wu Zhi can cause chaos in the north of the city and take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate and bring in the rebels. Success is best, no matter if it fails, he just wants chaos in the north of the city to attract the attention of us and others...... As long as he can take this layer into account, he will inevitably take the opportunity to sneak attack the southern city wall, and attack the southern city wall in one go while our attention is in the north of the city......"

Hearing Zhao Yu's speculation, everyone nodded suddenly, and before they had time to react, suddenly a county guard outside the city gate tower exclaimed: "Rebels! Rebels attack the city! ”

“！！”

Sun Xiu glanced at Zhao Yu in surprise, didn't care about saluting, and hurriedly ran out of the city gate tower to command the battle.

"Was it really expected by Chief Zhou?"

When Li Xu exclaimed, Zhao Yu had already gotten up and walked to the city gate, and everyone hurriedly followed.

In a moment, Zhao Yu walked to the wall battlement in a few steps, looked out of the city, and saw that outside the city, which was still empty, countless rebel soldiers appeared, carrying long ladders, and came straight to the city wall.

I don't know if it was the exclamations of the county guards on the city wall that made the rebels outside the city realize that the sneak attack had failed, and the gang simply began to attack, shouting 'attack', and erecting a long ladder on the city wall.

"Bell, bell, bell—"

"Bell, bell, bell—"

The alarm bell immediately sounded on the south city wall, and in the rest area of the soldiers in the city, those county guards and black tiger thieves who had already been instructed in advance, and even a number of Nanyang soldiers, immediately rushed to the city wall to reinforce the few soldiers on duty on the city wall.

In just a few dozen breaths, the southern city wall has rapidly expanded from only more than 200 soldiers on duty to nearly 1,000 people, almost occupying the city wall.

These guards fought fiercely with the besieging rebels again.

Seeing the fierceness of the rebels' offensive with his own eyes, Liu Bi was so shocked that he wiped his sweat with his cuffs again and again, and Li Xu's eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Yu with a frightened expression.

"Bell, bell!"

"Bell, bell!"

Before Li Xu could praise Zhao Yu from the bottom of his heart, suddenly alarm bells sounded on both sides of the east and west city walls.

It came true, the prediction of the leader of the black tiger thieves came true!

The rebels did launch a surprise assault on the eastern, western, and southern walls at the same time.

Looking at Zhao Yu and then outside the city, Li Xu swallowed his saliva.

He didn't dare to imagine that if it weren't for the Black Tiger Thief Leader's failure to predict the true intentions of the rebels in time, his southern city wall would most likely be lost tonight, and perhaps the east and west walls would also fall due to their negligence.

As long as one wall falls, everything will be irreparable, and tens of thousands of rebels outside the city will immediately pour into the city.

Fortunately, he has a Zhou Hu in Kunyang......

Li Xu still looked at the leader of the black tiger thieves beside him with a pale face.

It's a pity that Zhao Yu will be wrong, and while taking Liu Bi, Li Xu and others to retreat under the advice of several county officials, he comforted Liu and Li Ergo: "Don't worry, although the rebels are fierce, it won't last long, and when they realize that our side has already taken precautions, they will retreat." ”

Listening to Zhao Yu's steady tone, Liu Bi and Li Xu nodded slightly, and the panic and fear in their hearts gradually receded.

They had grown accustomed to it: as long as the Black Tiger Thief leader's tone remained steady, it wasn't a big problem.

At the same time, about two miles away from the southern city wall of Kunyang, Chen Miao, the commander of Jiangxia's righteous teacher, sat on a war horse, looking at the battle near the city wall in the distance, and listening to the movement over there.

The fighting movement in the distance exceeded his estimates, and it was not like his righteous division successfully attacked the city wall.

"Huh?"

Frowning, a surprised voice came out of Chen Miao's mouth.
