Chapter 352: Night Attack

After visiting the wounded soldiers of the Nanyang Army, Zhao Yu took Sun Xiu to the "Wreak Sites" in Dongcheng and Xicheng to express condolences to the county soldiers and the black tiger thieves who were seriously injured on the city walls on both sides.

This matter had nothing to do with Sun Xiu, so he didn't have to follow Zhao Yu to express his condolences, but he still went. In his words, whether it was the county army, the Black Tigers, or the Nanyang army, they were consistent with each other in the matter of defending Kunyang.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu let him go.

Compared with the situation where the Nanyang Army died today, more than 300 people were seriously injured, and more than 200 were slightly injured, the county soldiers in the Xicheng Wall suffered a lot of casualties. A total of more than 500 people were killed in battle, and the rest were seriously injured and slightly injured, accounting for about 200 each.

At first glance, the county army did not seem to have much more casualties than the Nanyang army? Can the county army's strength be comparable to that of the Nanyang army?

Of course not. In the final analysis, it was because the Black Tiger Thief shared the casualties of the West City Wall. Today, they also paid the price of more than 100 deaths, more than 200 injuries, and more than 70 serious injuries.

After learning about the casualties of the Black Tiger Thieves, Zhao Yu's mood became very bad unconsciously.

After all, the Black Tiger Thieves sent by Wang Qing to the city wall were all the Wolves of the Luben Camp, that is, the group of wolves who were active outside the city some time ago. Although most of the Black Tiger Thieves who died in battle today were new soldiers recruited a while ago, they were also the backbone of his Black Tiger Village. As long as they were given some more time, these Black Tiger Thieves who have gradually adapted to the fight would inevitably become elite soldiers of his Black Tiger Village.

But there is no way. Compared with these brigade wolves who have undergone certain training, the quality of county soldiers is generally worse, because not only have only undergone short training, but most of them have no chance to kill. Unlike the brigade wolves who appeared at night a while ago, under the "care" of the old soldiers in the team, they almost all had the experience of killing people. At least in the matter of killing, they have overcome the hurdle in their hearts.

As for the casualties on the west wall, as Magai said, it can be said to be minimal. This incident once again confirmed that the rebels' offensive on the west wall was just a feint, and its main attack direction was the South City Wall and the East City Wall.

Around the Xu hour that night, Zhao Yu and his men who delayed their meals due to condolences to the injured soldiers returned hungry to the gate tower of the south city wall.

At this time, Sun Xiu, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Ma Gai and others were very sensible and went to the "open-air canteen" near the city gate to have dinner, while Zhao Yu and Jingnu wanted to hide their identities and took Niu Heng to the city gate tower to have dinner.

Just when the three of them were having meals, Le Gui, who was appointed by Zhao Yu as the guardian of the North City Gate, came to the South City Gate Tower in person.

After receiving Zhao Yu's permission, Le Gui strode into the city gate tower. Seeing whether there was any finished meal in front of Zhao Yu and Jingnv who had already put on their masks, he quickly hurriedly held his fists and apologized: "Disturbing the leader for food, he deserves to die..."

Of course, Zhao Yu could guess why Le Gui came, and waved his hand and asked, "No need...... Have you found out about the whereabouts of the rebels?"

"yes."

Le Gui nodded and said with a serious expression: "According to the wish of the great leader, I sent three teams to inquire about the rebels on the east, west and south side of Baizhou's attack on the city walls on the east, west and south side. According to the brothers sent out, these three rebels did not retreat to the camps on the south bank of the Shahe River, but each retreated and set up camps for five miles."

Zhao Yu frowned and immediately ordered Jingnv to order people to remove the food. At the same time, he immediately sent someone to recruit Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Ma Gai and Sun Xiu to tell the people about the results of Le Gui's investigation.

Sure enough, when they learned that the three rebels were camping and setting up camps only five miles away from Kunyang, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Ma Gai and Sun Xiu also showed shocked expressions.

After all, generally speaking, it is the wisest choice to get out of the camp twenty miles away from the enemy, and only five miles... it really put Kunyang down.

"Is it because I deliberately lured me and others to send someone to attack me at night?"

As a side general of the Nanyang Army, Sun Xiu had good experience in the battlefield and immediately put forward a possible guess.

But after thinking for a while, Zhao Yu shook his head and rejected Sun Xiu's guess: "It shouldn't be... If I were Guan Shuo, I wanted to lure Kunyang to send troops to attack at night and use the tricks, I would never divide the troops into three groups... Is it still a mistake for me to guess which one the opposite side will attack? Therefore, I think he is planning to besiege Kunyang, camp on the spot, and build siege equipment on the spot so that he can attack the city again in the future."

Hearing this, Wang Qing sneered and said, "That guy really doesn't take me seriously..."

As he said that, he turned to look at Zhao Yu and asked, "You summon everyone to discuss, but are you planning to launch a night attack? I'm the only one."

"Don't be anxious."

Zhao Yu raised his hand to dissuade Wang Qing and said seriously: "Yes, I summoned four people to come. I did intend to attack the rebels at night, but we have to make plans for the long-term plan for how to attack the night... Guan Shuo led the rebels from Jiangxia County to Yingchuan County, and during this period he captured countless county towns, but don't underestimate him. I think he will definitely be on guard against us for sneak attacks at night, so we have to deceive him first."

"How to cheat?" Sun Xiu asked curiously.

Zhao Yu raised his hand and touched the lower jaw of the mask, and thought deeply: "Wasn't Guan Shuo guarding us against the night attack? Then we simply use the tired soldiers to dispel his suspicion... That is to say, we will send a team of people first, deliberately go to his three camps to create a noise, disturb the rebel soldiers, and make it difficult for them to have peace at night. After two rounds, Guan Shuo will definitely be able to see through this "ticky soldiers" and think that we do not have the power to attack at night. When we suddenly attack, we will attack him again and catch him off guard!"

Can this still be done?

Sun Xiu looked at Zhao Yu in shock.

In his impression, if the enemy was prepared for the night, he would obviously have to give up the plan of a night attack.

But the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves in front of him was good. Even though he knew that the other party was prepared, he could still think of a solution, and this method was really good.

Compared to Sun Xiu's surprise, Chen Mo, Wang Qing and Ma Gai were very calm because they were already used to Zhao Yu being able to come up with some good strategies.

If it weren't for this, how could a person like Wang Qing, who was arrogant and knew Zhao Yu's true age be inferior to Zhao Yu?

“This is a good move.”

Wang Qing touched his fairly smooth chin and said with a smile: "But don't look for me when you pretend to attack this, let Chen Mo or Ma Gai go..."

Compared to Ma Gai shook his head and smiled bitterly, Chen Mo rolled his eyes speechlessly. Then, Chen Mo asked Zhao Yu: "Pretty attack can take care of both three sides, but if you really attack, there is no ample staff in the city that can take care of both three parts at the same time. In the eyes of the chief, where should we attack?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu held his arms and started to ponder.

As Chen Mo said, it is obviously a fool to attack the rebels in three directions outside the city at night. One reason is that they are insufficient in staff, and the other is that they are prone to deviations. Simply put, no matter where the rebels in the east, south, and west are attacked at night, they will alarm at least one rebel, which will make the attack at this place fail.

Therefore, it is better to choose to attack all the way, and according to the position of the three rebels, Liu De was at the highest danger of attacking Guanshuo in the south, while Xu Bao in the east and Xu Kang in the west were more dangerous.

"Let's go east!"

After some thought, Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "From today's battle situation, Xu Bao, the rebel general in the east, was obviously also ordered to be responsible for the main attack of Kunyang, while Huang Kang, the west, was just a feint attack... If we can severely attack Xu Bao tonight, it means that the pressure on the east wall will become extremely small in the future, unless Guan Shuo divided his troops to Guan Shuo... As for Huang Kang, the west, he was just a feint attack, and there was no big difference between the pressure on the west wall.

"Don't you try to attack Guan Shuo?" Wang Qing said enthusiastically: "As long as you can severely damage this, the Kunyang siege will be solved."

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "You are right. The rewards of sneak attack on Guan Shuo are the most popular, but the risks are also the greatest. Once Guan Shuo reacts immediately and entangles the brothers sent to the night attack, Xu Bao and Huang Kang on the east and west sides, and then they send troops to support him when they hear the news, the brothers we sent will be covered in."

"Shh~" Wang Qing raised his eyebrows, whistled, and stopped talking. It was obviously dispelled by Zhao Yu's words.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu looked around and said seriously: "If there is no objection, I will assign a task... The matter of pretending to attack Huang Kang and Xu Bao will be left to the county army; as for the pretending to attack Guanshuo in the south, the Wild Wolf will be left to the Wild Wolf to act according to the opportunity. Then the Wild Wolf will be also responsible for the Wild Wolf."

Ma Gai nodded, without any objection to this. After all, he also understood that it was also a very dangerous thing to attack Guanshuo and Liu De's army in the south. Only the hiking wolf with rich experience in night activities can be competent.

"Okay, then I will be responsible for attacking Xu Bao, and Commander Chen will be responsible for taking charge of Kunyang." Wang Qing smiled and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder, but the latter reached out and patted him without any mercy.

Seeing Zhao Yu decisively formulate tactics and decisively assigning tasks, Sun Xiu lost his mind for a moment and felt as if he had returned to the army.

This Zhou Hu...is he really just a mountain bandit?

He looked at the black tiger thief leader in front of him suspiciously.

Maybe it was his illusion that he felt that the tone of the Black Tiger thief leader giving orders was very similar to a general holding a heavy army.

How could an ordinary bandit leader make such a proper arrangement in such a short time?

Seeing Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Ma Gai and others getting up to say goodbye, Sun Xiu came to his senses and asked quickly, "Then, what about me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu smiled and comforted: "General Sun has worked hard to defend the city today, so let's have a good rest... Savages like General Sun's command should sit on the city wall to play their greatest role."

"This...well."

After thinking about it, Sun Xiu nodded slightly.

After a while, Sun Xiu followed Chen Mo, Wang Qing and Ma Gai and walked out of the city gate tower.

At this moment, he remembered the domineering behavior of the Black Tiger thief leader when he sternly warned him, and then he remembered that at dusk today, the leader Zhou took him to comfort the wounded soldiers, and just now, the leader Zhou calmly and conceited when formulating a plan...

He did not deny that Zhou Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves, had a moderate approach and strategy, and had a very special charm.
