"Prevent the defense line strictly and be careful."

"Beware of the sneak attacks by the Kunyang people."

Around the third hour of You, almost at night, a patroling rebel soldiers knocked on Gengmu through the streets and alleys, reminding the friendly forces on the positions to guard against the upcoming night attacks of the Kunyang people.

The rebel soldiers on the position all complained.

"The attack is needed during the day and defense is needed at night. Those damn Kunyang people don't stop at all."

"I have had enough rest in the day, so I will naturally attack at night."

It is not difficult to guess from these complaints that after three days and two nights of difficult street fighting, the rebel soldiers gradually understood the tactics of the "day guard and night attack" of the Kunyang soldiers on the opposite side. They knew that the Kunyang soldiers who were mediocre during the day would counterattack fiercely once they reached the night, trying to regain their lost positions, so they naturally became vigilant.

But being vigilant is one thing, and whether it can resist the counterattack of Kunyang people is another thing.

After all, the visibility is poor at night, and no one can guarantee whether the guards of Kunyang are hidden in places beyond their reach - especially the damn Kunyang wolves. The cold arrows and ambush of Kunyang wolves made many rebel soldiers panic.

"Uh--"

I don’t know how long it took, but a sudden scream rang out.

Immediately afterwards, there was a noise in the city alley on the west side of South Street.

"Kunyang people, Kunyang people attacked!"

A rebel soldier screamed in a shrill voice, which made the rebel soldiers in most nearby positions feel panic.

"Don't panic!"

As the commanding general on the South Street position, the rebel general Cao Wu immediately made a command: "Call Zhou Hou and Wang Mao and others to guard the houses on both sides. If they are taken away by the Kunyang people, I will ask them!... Come on, go up the roof of the building."

"yes!"

Under Cao Wu's command, rebel soldiers immediately crawled on the roofs of the buildings on both sides of the street, looking down at the movements around, whether it was the South Street position where Ju Sheng was located or the nearby streets and alleys.

However, before the group of people could see clearly the Kunyang soldiers' movements nearby, arrows shot towards them, scaring the rebel soldiers so much that they hurriedly lie on the roof and dared not show their heads easily, so as not to be found by the archers from Kunyang.

Those despicable Kunyang people like to hide in secluded places and shoot cold arrows at them.

When the rebels on the opposite side began to act, as Cao Wu's opponent, Ju Sheng was not idle. He hid behind a mud wall and frowned and looked at the opposite side.

Although the rebel soldiers on the opposite side repeatedly accused Kunyang soldiers of being despicable and always liked to hide in the dark and fire cold arrows, in fact, the crossbowmen of the rebels were not much better, and Ju Sheng did not want to be killed by a few cold arrows.

"Campo, Liu Tu, seems to have started to act, we are here..."

In my ears, there were soldiers under Ju Sheng asking him for instructions.

"No hurry."

Ju Sheng pressed his hands down, looked at the opposite side and comforted his soldiers and said, "Let the nearby friendly troops move for a while, let's hold the troops to see if there is an opportunity on the other side."

He didn't intend to let other friendly forces take the lead and deliberately preserve his strength, but he just hadn't found a chance to attack Cao Wu yet.

In his opinion, the reason why they achieved such outstanding results yesterday was that they regained 60% of the lost territory in just half an hour was because the rebels were not prepared and were not prepared to organize such a large-scale counterattack, so that even Cao Wu, who was as good as Ju Sheng, was forced to retreat three or four lines of defense at that time.

After all, on the night ahead, the brigade wolves in Kunyang were alone in hunting rebel soldiers and did not join forces with other friendly forces to seize the lost land.

But tonight is different. With the defeat last night, it is obvious that the opponent's defense is very strict. At this time, it is undoubtedly a huge price for Kunyang to pay.

"kill--"

A scream suddenly sounded in the building on one side of the street, and then another sound of ping-pong sound was heard. It was suspected that two teams collided and a fierce fight broke out.

"It should be a wolf...

Ju Shengwei frowned and thought to himself.

To be fair, Ju Sheng actually does not support tonight's "night attack". The reason is very simple, because the rebels on the opposite side suffered a great loss last night and would definitely strengthen their defense tonight. If they forcefully attack, the soldiers on Kunyang side will definitely suffer huge losses.

But at the same time, he also understood that Kunyang side must fight back tonight and regain some lost positions and streets, otherwise he would just let the rebels advance. Within a few days, Kunyang side would have no choice but to retreat.

Therefore, on this night when he knew that the opponent was prepared but had to continue to launch a surprise attack, Ju Sheng placed great hope on the brigade wolves, hoping that these unruly guys who claim to be "the sharpest of the Black Tigers" could take the lead in opening up the situation and revitalizing the offensive of friendly forces.

"Tonight, I guess I'll be playing all night..."

Ju Sheng thought to himself.

At the same time, at the intersection of the south side of the South Street, Zhu Mao, the general under the command of the commander Chen Xu of Jiangxia Yishi, was standing in the street with his arms around him, frowned and listening to the current battle report sent by the several commanders in front of him.

There is nothing worth caring about these battle reports, it is nothing more than the Kunyang soldiers appearing everywhere and fighting wherever they are. What really makes Zhu Mao care about is the counterattack of Kunyang on the opposite side.

Looking back on last night, Kunyang's counterattack was extremely fierce. In the first short stick of incense, thousands of Kunyang soldiers fought back in all streets and alleys in the city, causing his righteous army to retreat step by step.

But tonight, Kunyang's counterattack always felt a little weak.

"The command of all soldiers to strictly guard the positions!"

After giving another order, Zhu Mao turned around and walked towards the South City Wall Tower.

He felt that Kunyang's counterattack today was a bit problematic, so he needed to discuss with Guan Shuo and Chen Xu, the two Qu Shuo.

A moment later, Zhu Mao saw Guan Shuo and Chen Xu next to the city wall inside the South City Gate Tower. He quickly stepped forward to salute and expressed his doubts: "...The counterattack of the Kunyang people tonight is far less fierce than that of last night. I don't know if there is any conspiracy."

In fact, the doubts that Zhu Mao had already seen, Guan Shuo and Chen Xu, were already seeing.

After listening to Zhu Mao’s story, Guan Shuo said in a deep voice: “Don’t worry too much. No matter what Zhou Hu had conspiracy, he would definitely regain some positions tonight, but our army was prepared tonight, and he had to pay some casualties to regain some lost land.… If he was reluctant to sacrifice, it would not be bad. After the sunrise tomorrow, our army can continue to advance. In short, no matter what the situation is, the situation is always in our hands.”

Zhu Mao turned his head and looked at Chen Xu. Seeing that the latter also nodded in support of Guan Shuo's point of view, he then stepped back with his fists.

After looking at the back of the general under his command, Chen Xu turned to Guan Shuo and said, "It seems that Zhou Hu guessed your 's plan'..."

"It's not certain yet." Guan Shuo shook his head and then hummed, "No matter whether he sees through it or not, he will eventually regain some lost land tonight. The only difference is whether he mobilizes the guards on the city walls on both sides of the east and west..."

Just as the two were talking, the originally fierce fighting sounds of the streets and alleys in the city gradually faded away and were replaced by a disturbing silence.

What is the counterattack of Kunyang people tonight?

Guan Shuo and Chen Xu don’t think so.

"When is the time now?" Guan Shuo turned around to ask a soldier beside him.

"It's about the third hour of Xu." The soldier replied.

Hearing this, Guan Shuo sneered, turned to Chen Xu and said, "His behavior is too obvious... He thought that if he made a feint attack, we would mistakenly believe that he had given up on his counterattack tonight?"

Chen Xu smiled but said nothing, but there were many doubts in his eyes.

On this point, Chen Xu agreed with Guan Shuo's point of view, and he also felt that the counterattack of Kunyang people tonight was far more than that.

"For the sake of caution, let's give the next order and ask the soldiers to be alert."

After reminding Guan Shuo, Chen Xu turned his eyes to the city again and thought to himself: Zhou Hu, what do you want to do?

Unlike what Chen Xu thought, Zhao Yu was not in the city at this moment, but on the west city gate tower, standing on the inner wall with Chen Mo and Ma Gai, looking at the chaos in the city just now.

After watching for a while, Zhao Yu sighed slightly and sighed: "Sure enough... the rebels' defense tonight is very strict. If we want to regain some lost land, we may have to pay a lot of price."

"But there is no other way, right?" Chen Mo continued calmly.

“…”

Zhao Yu nodded silently, then turned around and asked the guards beside him: "Have Legui ever sent a message?"

“Not yet.”

He Shun, who was standing next to Niu Heng, shook his head and said.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, then looked into the city and said in a deep voice: "When the signal from Legui arrives, act according to the original plan!"

Hearing this, Chen Mo and Ma Gai nodded understandingly.

At the same time, Legui, the guardian of the North City Gate, was standing on the observation deck in front of the North City Gate Tower with his arms in his arms, staring at the night outside the city, not attracted by the fighting in the city at all.

It’s not that he doesn’t care about the counterattack tonight, but that he has more important tasks.

Suddenly, a ray of fire lit up from afar outside the city, as if someone had lit a torch outside the city. Then, they drew two circles at the same time under the dark night.

『Are you here?

Le Gui, who was already standing a little sore, suddenly woke up. After carefully watching the 'message' outside the city, he took a torch from a soldier next to him and ordered: "Temporarily extinguish the fire in the city gate tower."

Immediately, the soldiers near the city gate tower put out all the torches and braziers, leaving only the torch in Legui's hand.

Seeing this, Le Gui stepped on a stool brought by the soldiers, waved the torch in his hand outside the city, and also drew two circles.

It seemed that the other party had received a signal and extinguished the light of fire.

Le Gui also got off the stool and ordered: "Re-lit the torch and brazier, and report to the great leader who was on the southern wall, and said... 'has arrived'."

A moment later, the confidant sent by Legui came to the Xicheng Gate Tower. After seeing Zhao Yu, he bowed to report: "The leader, Le Bianmu ordered me to come and report, saying that he was...'has arrived'."

"It's finally here!"

Zhao Yu breathed a long sigh and said in a deep voice: "Grand Commander, you can act... He Shun, send someone to order the East City Wall to ask Wang Qingyi to start the action."

"yes!"

Chen Mo and He Shun held their fists and took the order.

As the two left in a hurry, Zhao Yu slowly walked to the side of the city wall, turned to look towards the south city gate tower, and a hint of mockery appeared on his face under the mask.
