"Report! Thousands of enemy troops were circling towards the west wall!"

On the city gate tower in Kunyang, a county soldier urgently reported to Zhao Yu.

This county soldier was the "guarantee" arranged by Zhao Yu, and was specifically responsible for keeping a close eye on the remaining half of the rebel army outside the city, so as not to notice the movements of the other half of the rebel army at the first time.

However, the facts proved that Zhao Yu had taken into account both. He was cautious and noticed the movements of the other five thousand rebels far away outside the city.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu ordered without hesitation: "Tell me the order and ordered Ma County Ma to lead all county troops in the city to reinforce the West City Wall!"

"yes!"

The soldiers in charge of the order immediately took the order and left.

From the side, I saw that the rebels outside the city were indeed as Zhao Yu had judged before, attacking the city wall on the other side. The county magistrate Li Xu, who looked a little pale, was sincerely admired and said with some gratitude: "Fortunately, the leader of Zhou reserved the county army to let them rest. Otherwise, whether it was sending exhausted county army to reinforce the west wall or sending brotherhood people, it would be difficult to resist..."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "The county magistrate is so serious. In fact, it was not that I expected the enemy's actions, but I just felt that the remaining rebels outside the city could not watch the battle situation on the south wall..."

Hearing this, Li Xu shook his head and said, "The leader Zhou misunderstood. It is not that the leader Zhou expected the rebels' actions, but that he praised the extraordinary courage of the leader Zhou. Even in the dangerous situation just now, he could still keep the county army..."

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself: "If I were to be there, I would have probably put the county army into the south city wall. In this way, when the rebels outside the city attacked the west city wall, I, Kunyang, would have no more strength to resist..."

"I see."

Zhao Yu suddenly realized.

It is undeniable that the county magistrate Li Xu's words were indeed very pertinent. Just as Zhao Yu himself said, it was nothing to guess the actions of the rebels in advance. I believe that as long as someone with a little brain is a little unconscious, he would not think that the other half of the rebels outside the city would remain unmoved. What is really worthy of praise is that Zhao Yu would rather take the risk of letting more than 500 black tiger thieves defend the city walls and continue to resist the two thousand infantrymen and two thousand crossbowmen outside the city than sending a county army.

But facts have proved that Zhao Yu's persistence and adventure are indeed necessary.

Soon, the messenger sent by Zhao Yu came to the city and found Ma Gai, the county magistrate who was still commanding the three hundred crossbowmen.

The messenger said to Ma Gai urgently: "Ma County Ma, the rebels outside the city sent another 3,000 infantrymen around the southern suburbs and tried to attack the western wall of our county. The leader Zhou ordered you to immediately bring all the county troops to the western wall to defend."

"What?"

When Magai learned that the rebels were preparing to attack the city on both sides, he felt nervous. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are all county troops?"

"Yes!" The messenger nodded and affirmed: "All county troops!"

After receiving a positive reply, Ma Gai frowned and looked at the three hundred county crossbowmen beside him, and then looked up at the city wall.

After hesitation, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Please report to the leader of Zhou, I obey his orders. However, once our county army is transferred to the west wall, there will be no support on the south wall. Please be careful..."

After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered: "The county army obeyed the order, and everyone rushed to the west wall!"

Immediately, Magai sent people to the south city wall and issued an order to several other captains, including Ishihara, Chen Gui, Yang Gan, He Feng, etc., who were fighting at the moment, and ordered these people to go to the west city wall immediately.

At this time, Ishihara, Chen Gui and others had also noticed that a rebel army was rushing to the west wall far outside the city. They naturally understood why Magai issued this order, but the problem was that the crisis on the south wall had not yet been resolved, so how could they leave easily?

Just as Ishihara was hesitating, Xu Bai immediately said to him: "Go, Captain Shi, don't you think that County Ma has the strength to take care of nearly two thousand county troops, right? Or do you think that if you leave this place, you won't be able to do it?"

Ishihara opened her mouth, finally sighed, and said to Xu Bai seriously: "Don't die..."

"Bah!" Xu Bai smiled and scolded with annoyance: "I'll tell you this!"

Brothers who had been many years looked at each other, Shi Yuan nodded, turned around and got down the city wall without hesitation, and headed straight for the west city wall.

Chen Gui, Yang Gan, He Feng and other other captains were transferred to the West City Wall one after another.

There is no way. On the south wall, there is a black tiger thief. The leader can command ordinary thieves, but the county army lacks commanding non-commissioned officers. Ishihara, Chen Gui and others stay on the south wall, which is not as good as their role in the west wall.

Seeing Ishihara leave hurriedly and run down the city wall, Xu Bai breathed a little, feeling a little regretful.

Although he knew that Ishihara and others had a greater role in the West Wall, in his heart, he still hoped that Ishihara could stay here. After all, the two of them were brothers who had known each other for many years, and with Ishihara by his side, he was really relieved.

And just as he was regretting, the screams of several black tiger thieves came from afar: "Sir, the rebels have attacked the city again!"

This exclamation made Xu Bai come to his senses immediately.

He looked at the Black Tiger Thieves Village around him who looked at him, took a deep breath, raised his arms and shouted: "For the sake of the wife!"

“…”

The black tiger thief who was dozens of feet away was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into a shocking shout.

"For the wife!"

One passes to ten, ten passes to hundreds. Soon, the morale of the black tiger thieves who were already exhausted in the city wall increased again, reaching an incredible level.

It's a bit pitiful. These black tiger thieves who are still bachelors in their thirties and forties are really eager to get a woman as their daughter-in-law...

"kill!"

Under the leadership of the left commander Wang Qing, hundreds of black tiger thieves in the city wall were blocked by the city wall, preventing the rebels who tried to attack again.

Seeing this scene from afar, Song Zan, the rebel general responsible for attacking the southern city wall, frowned again.

A moment ago, he had received an order sent by the Lord General Huang Kang. Huang Kang said that he had sent Ji Wu to lead 3,000 infantrymen to attack Kunyang's western city wall and disperse the forces of the Kunyang defenders, and asked him to take this opportunity to attack the city wall in front of him in one go.

After learning about this, Song Zan was also very energetic and immediately boosted his morale and ordered his soldiers to attack the city wall again.

But...there are very little results.

The soldiers under his command were already tired.

After nearly half an hour of fierce battle, his soldiers were already exhausted.

In this case, Song Zan still attacked and refused to retreat, just because he firmly believed that the other party - the "black scarf soldiers" wrapped in black scarves on the city wall were more tired than the soldiers under his command.

After all, there were originally three thousand soldiers under his command, and his troops were three times that of the opposite side. Therefore, during the siege, he could take advantage of his military strength to attack in turn, but it was obvious that the number of "black scarf pawns" on the city wall was not large and he had never been replaced.

The difference between the two made Song Zan firmly believe that he could eventually defeat the "black scarf soldiers" and seize the city wall in one breath.

However, what he couldn't understand was that the "black scarf soldiers" on the city wall had obviously suffered nearly half of the casualties and could not get a chance to breathe in the battle for nearly half an hour, but these people were still very morale and stood firmly on the city wall without retreating.

Under this circumstance, the only thing Song Zan could do was to continue to put pressure on the city wall and the "black scarf" above.

He immediately ordered a messenger: "Tell Chen Lang that our army needs cover!"

"yes!"

The messenger left with his fists.

A moment later, about one mile behind Song Zan, the rebel general Chen Lang once again ordered his crossbowmen to shoot a volley at the city wall in the distance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Zan asked the soldiers under his command to retreat slightly. While letting the soldiers under his command take this opportunity to breathe, he observed the reaction on the city wall.

Originally, there would be crossbowmen in Kunyang City, but the number was not large, and the accuracy was very poor. At best, it could only bring psychological pressure to the soldiers under his command, but at this moment, those crossbowmen did not fight back.

Song Zan knew as soon as he guessed, the crossbowmen in Kunyang City might have been transferred to the west wall to resist Ji Wu.

From this we can see that Kunyang defends the city's troops are actually very short of strength, so as long as he works harder, the defenders on the southern city wall may collapse the next moment.

But the question is, when is the ‘next moment’?

After the agreed four-wheeled volley, Song Zan immediately issued an order to attack the city again, hoping that the soldiers under his command could reorganize the formation and take down the city wall in one go.

However, the reality made Song Zan frown deeply - the soldiers under his command were blocked again, blocked on the long ladder that was few and could not even touch the edge of the city wall.

Black Trouble... These people are so powerful.

Looking at the guards wrapped in black scarves on the Kunyang city walls from afar, Song Zan felt awe.

He never thought that a small Kunyang County would hide such a brave elite...

Turning his head and looking at the sunset that was about to set, he was gradually beginning to feel anxious and took a deep breath.

At this point, he had no other plan, but to urge his soldiers to continue to attack the city, and hoped that the black scarf soldiers on the city wall could not resist it.

As Song Zan judged, the black tiger thieves on the southern wall of Kunyang were actually exhausted, and were forced to support them by a desire and a will. Even Chen Mo, the commander who once had strict requirements on these camps, believed that they had done a very good job, even better than ordinary soldiers, and comparable to the elite of the army.

But even though he is outstanding, it is true that the Black Tiger Thieves under his command are exhausted. They must receive reinforcements, otherwise this group of elite troops from his Black Tiger Village might be wiped out on the city wall.

Thinking of this, he ordered a black tiger thief beside him and said, "Go to see the great leader in my name and tell the great leader that the brothers must receive reinforcements..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw a group of county troops wearing armors rushing up on the stairs inside the city wall not far away.

Hmm?

Chen Mo was slightly stunned.

County Army? Didn’t the county army defend the west city wall?

Just as he was puzzled, he saw Chen Cai among the group of people.

Seeing this, Chen Mo suddenly realized: Oh, that was not the county army, but the fraternity member who put on armor and took on weapons.

As for those weapons and where the armor came from, Chen Mo understood it after thinking about it, he must have taken the weapons and armor of the sacrificed person.

At this time, Chen Caiyi, not far away, saw Chen Mo, came to Chen Mo step by step, clasped his fists and said, "Great Commander, the leader ordered us to support the brothers."

“…”

Chen Mo nodded in an unknown way.

It is undeniable that Chen Mo was naturally happy after receiving reinforcements from hundreds of fraternity members. After all, this means that the Black Tigers on the city wall can finally get a chance to breathe.

But the question is, this group of fraternity members do not even have the level of county troops. How can they replace the Black Tigers to defend the city wall?

Once his Black Tigers retreat, wouldn’t the city wall fall immediately?

Perhaps guessing Chen Mo’s thoughts, Chen Cai lowered his voice and said, “The leader means that the brothers do not retreat to the city, but instead rest directly on the city wall. In this way, once the brothers in my brothers make defensive mistakes, they can be corrected immediately…”

Hearing this, Chen Mo frowned: "Stay on the city wall?"
