Chapter 403: Strategic Victory

"The people of Kunyang are coming in!"

"The people of Kunyang are coming in!"

In Huangkang Camp in the western suburbs of Kunyang, many green forest thieves fled, making it incredible that the soldiers in the two counties of Runan and Xiangcheng who were pursuing them felt very incredible.

Haven’t these people surrounded Kunyang? Why are they so afraid of Kunyang people?

Even Huang Ben, the county magistrate of Runan, felt incredible, but this did not prevent him from making a quick decision to pretend to be a Kunyang people.

As he led the county soldiers to attack the Green Forest thieves in the camp, he shouted loudly: "I am the Kunyang County Magai... I am the Kunyang County Magai..."

When he shouted, the green forest thieves in the camp were even more panicked.

"Kunyang Green Scarf!"

"It's Kunyang's green scarf!"

The group of people exclaimed and fled in all directions.

During this period, some green forest thieves pointed out the suspicious points of Huang Ben and others, saying that Huang Ben and his group did not have the iconic green scarf of the "Kunyang County Jail" tied to their left arms, but almost no one could calm down and confirm this.

The Green Forest Thiefs, who actually had the advantage in numbers, collapsed in front of the soldiers in Runan and Xiangcheng counties at once, and had almost no power to resist.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the two counties subconsciously pursued the fleeing Green Forest thieves. Fortunately, Huang Ben stopped him in time: "There is no need to pursue the defeated people, set fire to the camp first."

He knew very well that Zhou Hu’s only request for them was to set fire to the camp. As for taking the opportunity to chase the Green Forest thieves, Zhou Hu didn’t even mention it, which shows that the bandit leader didn’t care about it.

Under Huang Ben's constraints, the soldiers of the two counties no longer blindly pursued the Green Forest thieves, but set fires everywhere in the camp.

For a moment, fire broke out everywhere in Huangkang's camp, and the camp gates and the straw sheds where the soldiers lived were burning. Even if Huangkang immediately pulled his troops back to help, there was no time to put out the fire.

Seeing this, Huang Ben immediately ordered the entire army to retreat northward to avoid being counterattacked and retaliated by the rebels.

At the same time, Changsha Yishi Qu Commander Guan Shuo, Jiangxia Yishi Qu Commander Chen Xu, they were standing at the westernmost end of the southern Kunyang city wall, looking at the burning Huang Kang military camp.

Guan Shuo's expression was particularly ugly.

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

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

You should know that all the troops under his command are besieging Kunyang. How can Kunyang have the spare energy and how can he have the opportunity to sneak attack Huang Kang's military camp?

It was not until now that he saw the raging fire ignited in the Huang Kang military camp in the distance that he realized that he had been fooled by Zhou Hu...

Just as Chen Xu had worried before, Zhou Hu guessed his Guan Shuo's plan in advance. When Guan Shuo 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, which was placed on the city wall, clenched tightly, but then gradually relaxed. Guan Shuo breathed a long sigh and murmured afterwards: "The soldiers in Kunyang have no chance and no strength to attack Huang Kang's camp. Ye County's troops cannot come... It is Xiangcheng, Runan, or the soldiers of the two counties dispatched together..."

“…”

After looking at the expression on Guan Shuo's face, Chen Xu was very sensible and did not make any comments on it.

In fact, it was not only Guan Shuo, but even Chen Xu neglected Runan and Xiangcheng counties. After all, Runan and Xiangcheng counties were too low-key, or too timid during this "Kunyang Battle".

You think that the Kunyang Battle has been in the past month, and the Kunyang people have suffered heavy casualties, but what about Runan and Xiangcheng counties? No soldier has been sent to Kunyang to support it.

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

But unexpectedly, Zhou Hu suddenly borrowed reinforcements from Runan and Xiangcheng counties and stabbed the Yi Shi at a critical moment.

The "slap the righteous army" mentioned here does not refer to the reduction of losses in the soldiers. After all, Huang Kang and his troops are attacking the Western City Wall at this moment, and there are only some injured soldiers in the camp. Even if they want to lose, the green forest thieves are still not much harm to the righteous army.

But in terms of strategy, Huang Kang's camp was burned, which was really fatal. It caused a huge gap in the strategy of "Three Breads and Kunyang". What's even more fatal is that at this moment when winter is approaching, the Yi Shi has no way to rebuild Huang Kang's camp.

"It's okay..."

After breathing a long sigh, Guan Shuo smiled calmly and said, "As long as our army can successfully capture the city walls on both sides tonight..."

Chen Xu nodded and said nothing tactfully.

In fact, it was not just him. Even Guan Shuo understood the matter now. Kunyang's counterattack tonight was actually just a cover for Zhou Hu to take the opportunity to burn out Huang Kang's military camp.

Since it is a guise, it is not difficult to guess that Zhou Hu had already transferred the guards of the city walls on both sides of the east and west back to the city walls. How could Huang Kang and Liu De take down the city walls on both sides so smoothly?

It is no exaggeration to say that his righteous teacher has already lost strategically.

"What are you talking about as a general?... Zhang Zhai can give Zhou Hu a higher evaluation..."

Looking back at the city, Chen Xu shook his head secretly.

He would not have thought that the black tiger thief leader he was thinking about was actually at the gate tower of the West City, less than two hundred feet away from him.

There is obviously only one reason why it 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 on the west city wall at this moment, because Chen Mo and other defenders sent to the city had already been transferred back, and it was impossible for Huang Kang's army to attack the city wall.

"The big leader, the rebel camps in the western suburbs are burning."

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

Of course, Zhao Yu had already seen it clearly. He smiled and said, "Tell the soldiers in the city to be happy together."

"yes!"

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

In fact, the county soldiers fighting on the west wall at this moment have more or less noticed the inexplicable fire in the western suburbs, but they are not sure what is going on. It was not until He Shun sent someone to tell him that they suddenly realized.

While resisting the rebels in front of them, they mocked each other.

"Look at what's burning behind you?"

"These fools thought they could plot against the leader Zhou, but in the end they fell into the plan of the leader Zhou."

"Hahaha……"

As one of the insiders of the whole matter, Ma Gai shouted at Huang Kang on the city wall: "Huang Kang, look behind you, your camp is gone!"

Hearing this ridicule, the county soldiers on the city wall laughed loudly, full of pride and pride.

On the other hand, the rebel soldiers under Huang Kang looked back at the fire in their camps, stunned.

“…”

Amid the ridicule of the county army, Huang Kang turned his head and looked behind him, showing a look of shame and anger on his face, and at the same time he secretly cursed the group of traitors' waste.

But now, obviously not when he was considering these things, he shouted to boost morale: "Don't be in the Italian camp. As long as we seize the city wall in front of us and conquer Kunyang, we can all go into the city to cook fire!"

"Ha! I'm still stubborn!"

Hearing Huang Kang's shout from afar, Ma Gai sneered and also encouraged morale: "Brothers, guard the city wall... As long as you block this attack, Huang Kang will return to the rebel camp in shame!"

It also boosted morale, but it was obvious that the county army had higher morale and repelled the rebels' offensive again and again. Huang Kang was angry and helpless.

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

At the same time, Guan Shuo and Chen Xu had returned to the inside of the South City Gate Tower, climbing up to look at the confrontation in the city.

As Chen Xu guessed, Kunyang's counterattack today was just a guise for Zhou Hu to "seek Huangkang Camp". When he had succeeded, the counterattack of Kunyang soldiers in the city was immediately terminated, so that the generals like Cao Wu and others who were commanding the battle on the front line felt inexplicable and did not understand why the Kunyang people suddenly stopped fighting.

"Ship Qu."

Just when Guan Shuo looked down at the battlefield in the city with a stern face, some soldiers came to report: "General Huang Kang had been attacking the west city wall for a long time, and there were huge casualties. I sent someone to ask for instructions..."

Guan Shuo had a stern face and said nothing.

Seeing this, Chen Xu whispered: "Zhou Hu has succeeded, and the people of Kunyang have completely turned into a defensive position. There is no need to fight again with impulse..."

In fact, Guan Shuo understood these principles, and he was just angry.

After a while of silence, he sighed and nodded and said, "Call Huang Kang... and retreat to the camp in the south of my city... and ask Liu De to retreat. If you withdraw to the camp in the east of his city, don't even lose his camp."

Under Guan Shuo's order, Huang Kang withdrew from outside the West City Wall in Kunyang with resentment, and withdrew from Guan Shuo's camp in shame just as the county soldiers on the West City Wall mocked him.

In the city, the battle between Kunyang soldiers and the rebels gradually became calm.

"Wangshen, why didn't you attack?"

Some soldiers asked the camp commander Ju Sheng in confusion, but Ju Sheng was not sure about the final analysis, so they could only send someone to ask Sun Xiu who ordered.

A moment later, Sun Xiu sent someone to explain the reason: "There is no need to fight back. Our army's counterattack tonight is just a guise of deceiving the rebels. The purpose is to destroy the camp of Huang Kang, the rebel general in the western suburbs outside the city. About half an hour ago, our army had achieved its goal."

After hearing this, Ju Sheng was really surprised.

Zhou Hu took over Huang Kang’s military camp in the western suburbs?

Shocked in his heart, he immediately went to see Sun Xiu in person and asked about the passing.

Sun Xiu said casually: "... Guan Shuo thought he was smart. When he saw that we transferred the soldiers from the east and west city walls to the city, he wanted to take the opportunity to call Huang Kang. Liu De and the other two captured the walls on both sides, but he never thought that the leader Zhou had already guessed his intention and used the trick to destroy Huang Kang's camp in one fell swoop..."

As generals with battlefield experience, Sun Xiu and Ju Sheng certainly understood what it meant to lose Huang Kang's military camp.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just say one thing: when the reinforcements are sent to Runan and Xiangcheng in the future, the rebels will no longer be able to send troops to intercept them in time.

"This is really..."

Ju Sheng shook his head in disbelief.

The righteous master who was once in the past had clearly completely surrounded Kunyang, and he was defeated by himself, causing a huge gap in the blockade of Kunyang. This was simply ridiculous.

But from Kunyang's standpoint, Ju Sheng is of course grateful for this.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The cheers of Kunyang soldiers gradually sounded everywhere in the city. It was obvious that the news that the rebels in the western suburbs were destroyed had reached the ears of the soldiers in various counties in the city. Although most people did not understand what they did, this did not prevent them from cheering loudly.
