Under the cover of night, the noisy city of Zhuozhou finally quieted down. After the few full meals, the soldiers either returned to the camp to rest, or followed the orders and took their places, everything seemed so orderly, and Sun Tu and his Qingzhou army were a little inconspicuous in it.

Dong Kuang's obstinate behavior made Sun Tu completely lose the joy of the small victory before, and now he is especially worried, even if he is hungry for a day, he still can't eat all the dry buns and vegetable soup in his hand, and his brows are even more wrinkled. It wasn't until Wu Song strode over that he put down the food and said urgently, "How?" Has he changed his mind? ”

Wu Song, who was ordered to do the final dissuasion, shook his head with a wry smile: "Now many generals in the Changsheng army are in a daze, and they are all shouting that they want to break the Liao army, even if General Dong wants to stop it, he can't stop it." They didn't believe our warning at all, and said that this was completely the ambition of the Changliao army and the destruction of their own prestige. ”

Sun Tu sighed lightly again when he heard this, knowing that the matter was irreparable. It was precisely because he thought that those victorious armies would react like this, and in order to avoid irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, he only asked Wu Song to do the final persuasion instead of going out in person. And judging from the current situation, whoever goes is the same, the Changsheng army has been blinded by a small victory, and they can't wake up after suffering a loss. It's just that in this way, the morale that has been boosted will drop again, adding to the difficulties for the next city defenders.

"General, what should we do?" Whether it is Wu Songluda or other generals, they all have absolute obedience and trust in their own generals, since he said that he will be defeated if he attacks, there is no second possibility. And this is an extremely severe test for them who want to use the victorious army to entangle with the Liao army.

Sun Tu sighed again: "What else can I do, I can only prepare as much as possible, at least we can't make the situation worse, and we must not let the enemy really enter the city because of this." When he said this, his face turned grim: "Let's go to the city gate to guard, so that we can also receive them and return safely." ”

"Do you only rely on the hundreds of people in our Qingzhou Army?" Even Ruda, who has always been brave, is a little vague.

"In night battles, the Liao army may not be able to detect the gap in strength, not to mention that soon other people in the Changsheng army will also come to support, which is enough to defend." Sun Tu immediately said: "Also, ask the soldiers to prepare more bows and crossbows, and prepare thunderbolts and destruction bullets, if you really can't hold them, you can only use them early." ”

Originally, Sun Tu did not plan to expose these firearms this time, he had a longer-term plan. But now, the recklessness and greed of the victorious army made him have to plan for the worst and show all his hole cards to wipe their butts.

The generals only then hugged their fists and agreed, but they all had unwilling looks on their faces, why did the Chang Shengjun act recklessly, but let them help with the aftermath?

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the third watch is approaching.

Sun Tu led his army to hide in the darkness on both sides of the north gate, always keeping an eye on the movements outside. It had been almost an hour since Shi Hui and other generals led 3,000 people out of the city to attack at night, but there was no sound outside, and I didn't know when they would choose to attack.

As a rule of thumb, a typical night attack is launched on the third or fourth watch, when people are most tired and sleepy. However, with the rich combat experience and the fact that people understand this reason, some generals will go the opposite way and choose to launch a sneak attack on the second watch, or the fifth watch just before dawn, maybe this can also have an unexpected effect.

Now Sun Tu only hopes that those generals will not choose to act before the dawn of the fifth watch, then the city will really be in danger. And at the moment when his mind first came to him, as if to reassure him, a trumpet suddenly sounded outside, followed by a loud killing, and the night attack on the enemy camp of the victorious army began.

Because of the city wall, Sun Tu and they couldn't see the battle outside, but they could still guess what the battle had passed when they only heard the sound of the battle coming from a few miles away—there were no abrupt screams, and the sound of the battle had been fixed at a distance, which was enough to explain everything. The Liao army really had a precaution and set up an ambush in the camp, but the Changsheng army killed the soldiers and horses along the way, but it was right in its arms, but I am afraid that it has now fallen into a heavy siege and the situation is worrying.

Sun Tu can judge this with his hearing, and those subordinates around him also have relevant experience under the tempering of the big battles. Suddenly, everyone's faces showed a heavy and anxious look, at this point, the defeat of the attacking army was decided, it only depends on how much they can escape back in the end, and whether they can hold it.

At the head of the city, Dong Kuang and the generals of the Changsheng army were all like ashes, but they saw the mutation in the Liao army camp with their own eyes. The originally dark and dreary military camp was suddenly lit up with the impact of the trumpets of its own army, and countless enemy troops on the left and right were surrounded by mountains like mountains, and the army of no more than 3,000 was surrounded in an instant. I really see that people are covered in cold sweat, and their hearts are clenched......

"I was wrong, the enemy was really prepared...... Regret should not have listened to what Sun Tu said, resulting in a fiasco. Dong Kuang's body trembled, and he muttered in his mouth. He finally knew that he was not yet a qualified commander of the three armed forces, and that being too radical and emotional was his weakness.

Just when everyone was stunned by the changes in front of them and regretted it, the war outside changed again. The Chang Shengjun, who had been trapped in the Liao army, suddenly burst out with extremely strong combat power, and after a rush, they actually broke through the enemy's defense line in the rear, and the whole team was able to get out of the encirclement and quickly fled towards Zhuozhou City.

This made the mood of the soldiers suddenly lift, which shows that they are still saved! If it really fell into the Liao army's array, thousands of soldiers would not be able to save it, even if the Chang Shengjun abandoned the city and killed the whole army, it could not be the opponent of the Liao army. But now, it gave them a chance to be rescued.

Dong Kuang immediately made a decision: "Quick, open the city gate." In the starting camp, hurry up and let the second battalion of Dragon and Tiger go out of the city to respond, and be sure to take the brothers back to the city! ”

Almost all of them had this in mind, and at the moment of the order, the defenders below immediately opened the gates, and as for the drawbridge further out, they had not taken it back at all. In an instant, the entire Zhuozhou city gate was already open, and there was a posture of opening the door to thieves......

And after seeing this scene, Sun Tu's face turned even blue: "Nonsense! I think they're so completely dazed that they don't care about it. If there is an ambush of the Liao army outside the city that has been waiting, this time it will be able to make Zhuozhou fall! At this moment, he was completely disappointed in the Changsheng army, no wonder this army would be defeated again and again at the hands of the Liao army, and now it has reached the point of exhaustion.

This is not the responsibility of a pharmacist Guo, but a general who is not qualified for everyone. If you really expect them to help deal with the Liao army, I am afraid that there are too many difficulties to overcome.

At the same time, the whining horn had already sounded in Zhuozhou City, the originally quiet military camp had moved rapidly, and some soldiers and horses near the north gate had quickly arrived.

But in terms of the speed of impact, these victorious soldiers who only relied on two legs to run were obviously no match for the Liao cavalry who had four-legged horses to walk. Because at the moment when the city gate was opened, the Liao army, which seemed to be surrounded by the victorious army, suddenly killed a team composed of light cavalry, and only from the side, it quickly surpassed the victorious army that still needed to deal with the pursuit of the Liao army in the rear, and rushed straight to the city gate, the speed was as fast as lightning, and it was obviously premeditated for a long time!

In the camp of the Liao army, Xiao Gan, who saw this scene, showed a confident smile on his face, in his opinion, this time, Zhuozhou had become a boiled duck, and he was about to be eaten by himself.

I thought that this siege battle would be in a tug of war with the defeat during the day, at least he would have to start from the east and west cities to break the goal. Unexpectedly, the self-righteous commander of the Changsheng army really made a big mistake, and actually sent people directly to kill the stealing camp, and now he took the initiative to open the city gate in order to save people.

"This new commander of the ever-winning army, Dong Kuang, is really a little incomprehensible, how can he behave so strong and weak and difficult to understand." Xiao Gan thought with a little doubt. Indeed, judging from the delaying tactics at the beginning, as well as today's defense of the city, this person still has some ability, at least he can be called comparable to himself for a while. However, the sneak attack at night, and the measures in front of him, seemed so wrong and missing. It's as if it was the work of two different people......

However, these details have nothing to do with the overall situation at this time, because in Xiao Gan's opinion, the victory and defeat have been divided at this moment. Just look at the chaotic movement in the city, you know that his army is in turmoil, at this time the defenders have no time to deploy in front of the city gate, and the Feiyan cavalry sent by himself is enough to kill the city gate in a moment, and then hold it steadily, just wait for the army to press, the city gate changes hands, and this Zhuozhou is their own.

"Just one step away......" Xiao Gan looked at the battle situation in front of him from afar, and saw with his own eyes that the cavalry at the forefront had jumped onto the suspension bridge, and he had already galloped into the city gate: "It's done!" ”

In fact, at this time, the defenders had also completely woken up, and some people were panicking and shouting to close the gate and close the bridge, but it was already too late. They were already flustered and their movements became sluggish, and the closing of the bridge and the gate required many people to work together, and the number of people and hands became more and more chaotic, and finally let the first Liao cavalry to kill into the city gate, the knife flashed, a soldier just tried to stop, was cut in two by this knife with the momentum of the horse, and in the rear, there were dozens of hundreds of light cavalry quickly followed, immediately occupied the city gate, and drilled towards the door hole.

Seeing that the scene was completely out of control, the Chang Shengjun was even more panicked. The main force in the city has not yet arrived, and the city gate is about to be completely unguarded. The morale of the Liao army soared, shouting, and killing again. And at the moment when they rushed through the city gate and were about to completely control the situation, they shouted with a simple and decisive order: "Release the arrow!" ”

The situation is changing again!
