Tens of thousands of people were driven around Victor Castle, firmly protecting Victor Castle. From then on, no matter which direction Xu Kuang attacked from, he could not bypass these tens of thousands of people.
At the same time, Victor mobilized thousands of people to search Xiangcheng Town, and soon discovered a large number of tunnels.
Victor stood in front of the nearest tunnel, snorting coldly, and said to his subordinates:
"Put on people's clothes and go out from here tonight with a short sword. Doesn't Xu Kuang cherish his people? I will show him how the people he cherishes hurt him."
Late at night, countless soldiers in disguise emerged from the tunnels and rushed to the checkpoints guarded by the soldiers.
…
In front of a certain checkpoint in the west, soldiers in disguise were being questioned one by one. Some of them had passed the checkpoint but did not go far.
This made the platoon leader stationed at the checkpoint frown slightly. He always felt that something was wrong.
He took a careful look at this group of people, and suddenly realized why all the people coming here were strong men.
The platoon leader shouted quickly:
"Something's wrong, stop them quickly!".
But it was too late. Although more than thirty soldiers had guns, they could not resist hundreds of soldiers holding sharp blades at this distance.
Hell-like scenes were unfolding at various checkpoints. Some checkpoints were alert and saw it right from the start, some were slow and took a long time to see it, and some checkpoints simply didn't see it and were directly attacked.
Ten minutes later, more than thirty soldiers were wiped out, and the bodies of seventy or eighty Xiangcheng Town soldiers lay on the ground.
The leading Xiangcheng Town soldier kicked the platoon leader's body hard and kept cursing.
The soldiers on the side quickly grabbed him, pointed at the guns on the ground, and said to him:
"Let's leave quickly. This thing is so loud. When reinforcements from the other side arrive, none of us can leave."
The man also reacted and said to the people around him:
"Take all these alchemical weapons away.".
When reinforcements arrived, only bodies were left on the ground.
…
"Thirty-nine checkpoints on the western and northern fronts were all attacked, and all 11 checkpoints were wiped out. A total of 557 people were killed, and a total of 215 were lightly or seriously injured...".
The battle report reached Xu Kuang's ears, and Xu Kuang suspected that he heard wrongly.
He took the telegram and looked at it sideways and vertically, trying to find another answer from these words.

But it is a pity that the reality is so heavy and cruel.
Xu Kuang's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said to the messenger:
"Commander Artillery Battalion, from now on, all rocket launchers will fire ammunition at the base of Xiangcheng Town!".
Xu Zheng hurriedly came over and pulled Xu Kuang. At this moment, he was already in tears. He said to Xu Kuang:
"Lord, don't be angry. This thing all depends on me. I have been away from the battlefield for a long time, and I have long forgotten how cruel war is...".
Xu Kuang glanced at Xu Zheng and sighed secretly. He said to Xu Zheng:
"Mr. Xu, this matter is not your fault, it is my fault. When the war is over, I will report my fault to the entire army.".
Xu Zheng was even more heartbroken when he heard this.
He suddenly collapsed on the ground, his face ashen.
For people like him, it's okay to cheat himself, but cheating others is worse than death.
Zhuge Duan frowned and shouted:
"Everyone wake up! It's not the time to say this yet. Lord, I suggest not to fire artillery into Xiangcheng Town for the time being. First, cover the traps and military camps outside Xiangcheng Town several times. At least let the army arrive. There is no obstruction when entering the city."
Xu Kuang nodded. He found that he was a little influenced by his emotions. He said to Zhuge:
"Just listen to sir, please send a report to Zhou Jin. I need to slow down."
Zhuge Duan took the order and did it.
Jian Yu and Huo Guang came over, one to the left and the other to the right, and pulled Xu Zheng up from the ground.
Xu Kuang said to the three people:
"Mr. Xu, I am at fault for this matter, but everyone will blame you. I can't stop this kind of thing, I can only punish you."
Xu Zheng nodded heavily, ready to accept any punishment.
"After the war is over, you and I will carry out the aftermath work together. Maybe you and I will feel very uncomfortable after this trip, so please forgive me and let the families of those soldiers vent their anger."
Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said to Xu Kuang:
"Lord, just let me do this kind of thing myself.".
Xu Kuang shook his head and said to Xu Zheng:
"I gave the order. I am responsible for the oversight. Recorder, I have to record this matter in my work diary. I have to read it every day to alert myself!"
Xu Zheng felt even more uncomfortable.
Xu Kuang said to Xu Zheng:
"Sir, please sort out your mood and prepare. In about ten days, maybe at other times, we will face the grief-stricken family members of the dead soldiers together."
After Xu Kuang said this, he quickly left the office. He walked outside the door, lay on the guardrail, and looked at the mushroom ridge below. He wanted to cry but couldn't. He was choked by a breath of air and felt uncomfortable.
He really wanted to have a cigarette in his hand now, but unfortunately there was none, not even a gust of cold rain or wind.
Only now did Xu Kuang realize that the successive successes had made him lose his vigilance. He didn't know how to face the families of those dead soldiers next, and he didn't know how much money he should spend to buy the lives of those dead soldiers.
Xu Kuang took a deep breath to calm down, then turned around and walked into the office to continue working.
Everyone else also started working, including Xu Zheng.
…
The frontier of Orange Town.
Dozens of rocket launchers were aimed at the trap group ahead.
The gun commander waved the flag, and countless rockets flew out from the gun mount, setting off waves of fire on the local positions.
Forio and Victor stood under the city, listening to the continuous sound of cannons, and both showed a sinister smile.
Forio couldn't help but give Victor a thumbs up, he smiled and said:
"Uncle, you really have a good plan. Look at Xu Kuang, he is obviously angry from shame."
Victor laughed dryly, but suddenly realized something was wrong.
He quickly said to Forio:
"Hurry up and let the soldiers outside the city enter the city to avoid the artillery fire.".
Forio smiled and said:
"I gave the order long ago, and most of the soldiers have withdrawn."
Victor nodded and asked:
"How many soldiers and horses do we have now?"
Forio did some calculations and said to Victor:
"More than nine thousand."
Victor breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the casualties outside the city were not too serious.
More than a thousand people died during the sneak attack on Xu Kuang. It seems that only a few hundred soldiers outside the city died.
Victor was eerily calm, as if the number of casualties was just a number.
But soon, Victor's expression changed again.
Forio asked quickly:
"What's wrong?".
Victor said:
"In this case, the layout outside the city is useless."
Forio also felt sorry.
