Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 927

Chaiyu County, belonging to Yongchang County, is located between the intersection of Yongchang, Yuexi and Yizhou counties.

This is a small county town, and the surrounding city walls are only adobe walls, no more than one foot high. You can climb up without a ladder, even with a human ladder.

The only danger is to be able to lean on the left and right mountains.

Relying on the mountain, it can form a certain defensive force.

On the top of the city, Yong Kai put on a long robe and stood against the wind.

Ever since he left the Yizhou Army and escaped from the disaster, he seemed to be an old teenager overnight, with bushy white hair on his temples, bumpy eye sockets, and thin as if only a skeleton remained. It also disappeared.

Now he is more like a desperate wild wolf, unwilling to admit defeat, unwilling to give up resistance, and would rather fight against the beast, and fight to the end.

"Master Taishou, report from the scouts, the vanguard of the Mu army is less than twenty miles away from Chaiyu!"

Xu Min came up and clapped his hands to report.

"How many soldiers and horses?"

"The scouts are fighting, we are behind, many scouts have been killed halfway, and there is no main force that can get close to them. It is still unclear about their strength, but depending on the situation, I am afraid that there are not a few troops!"

Xu Min said.

"Xu Min, tell me, can we still stop it?" Yong Kai's expression was a little gloomy and bleak.

"Disaster!"

Xu Min smiled wryly.

I thought there was still a glimmer of life in Yongchang, but I didn't expect the barbarian army to be so fierce. Tens of thousands of troops attacked Buwei, forcefully destroying their last position.

In the end, he was forced to lead the remnant soldiers to retreat to Chaiyu.

Chaiyu is just a small city with a small scale, insufficient supply, and even fewer fortifications. The hope of defending this city is too low.

"What about the Bai people?"

A gleam of hope flashed in Yong Kai's eyes: "Are they willing to send troops to help?"

Hearing this, Xu Min shook his head and remained silent.

"Don't they think that if we are destroyed, can they still survive? Don't they understand the truth of the death of lips and teeth?" Yong Kai cried out a little angrily.

"They understand!"

Xu Min said softly: "But they didn't dare to send troops. There was a problem within the Yi tribe. The formation of Yueyi against the herdsmen was a mess. The Bai tribe only sold salt for a living. Their financial resources can still surpass the barbarian tribes, but their military strength may not be enough. , In fact, they don't have many soldiers and horses to mobilize, and at this moment, they are too busy to take care of themselves, and it is impossible to send troops to help!"

"Could it be that we are going to be extinct here?"

Yong Kai was really not reconciled.

He still couldn't figure out why the situation could change so quickly. Before that, he thought that no matter how strong the Mu army was, he could still handle them more or less in this south-central land.

But in just a few days, Mu Jun beat him until he lost his temper.

He knew that it wasn't because Nanzhong Erlang was useless, it was because the enemy was too strong.

The strength of the Mu army made them a little desperate.

The same military strength, but the difference in combat effectiveness is so great that he can't believe it. Whether it's a single soldier or an army formation, the Mu Jun has the ability to one against two. The Mu Jun has [-] soldiers and horses, and they try to resist their [-]-odd army. This is the gap.

Moreover, the herding army is good at siege, and there are endless siege equipment, such as well railing carts, ramming carts, ladders, trebuchets, bed crossbows... those large offensive equipment can make them tremble when they are put out.

"Can you try to surrender?" Xu Min said suddenly.

When a person is at the end of the road, the way out that he was unwilling to think about before has to be brought up at this time. Xu Min said softly: "It is easy for him, Mulongtu, to conquer Nanzhong, but it is not so easy to govern Nanzhong. Maybe he still needs us!"

"Precisely because he wants to govern Nanzhong, so he will never allow me to live. Everyone can surrender, including you, but I can't, because I am the leader of Nanzhong's wealthy family!"

Yong Kai smiled bitterly, he had a very clear understanding of this point, and he didn't have any unrealistic fantasies, because he was very sure of one thing, Mu Jing would never allow himself to live.

"Now, I have to fight to the end, or commit suicide and apologize!" Yong Kai looked into the distance, and said indifferently: "I'm afraid there is no third way!"

Xu Min was a little silent when he heard this.

Why doesn't he know, not to mention Yong Kai, even he may not be able to surrender, whether it is Yong Kai or himself, these years have left too deep a mark on Nanzhong, if they are not eliminated, Mujing will never Take control of Nanzhong with confidence.

"Break out and go south!"

Xu Min gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope?"

"Going south?"

Yong Kai frowned: "There are deep mountains and forests to the south, and there are barbarian tribes everywhere. Now Meng Huo has a deep hatred against us!"

As he spoke, he also sighed: "Before, I thought that Meng Huo would either die in battle or be captured. It was impossible for him to come back. Then we can make up a story with the barbarians. After all, the barbarians trust us more than Mu Huo." Long Tu, but who would have thought that Meng Huo would come back safe and sound, regroup and integrate the main force of the barbarian army of more than [-], and now he is our unworldly enemy!"

"The south is not just a tribe of barbarians!"

Xu Min said in a low voice: "Your Majesty the prefect has forgotten that in those places in southern Xinjiang, there are still a few tribes that even the barbarians dare not offend!"

"You mean?"

When Yong Kai heard the words, his inspiration moved, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

In the southwest of Yizhou, roughly at the borderline, there are several tribes that do not belong to the scope of the barbarian tribes. They are more like independent barbaric tribes. The Pu tribe in the west, the Liyue tribe in the southwest, and the Minpu tribe in the south Clan, Jiuliao clan, this is a large tribe, even if it is not as good as the barbarian tribe, it is also very powerful. Each tribe has a population of at least hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of young and strong, quite powerful.

"Do you think we can rely on those alien races?"

Yong Kai gritted his teeth and asked.

"Up to now, the only people in the world who can accommodate us are only them!"

Xu Min let out a long sigh.

If it wasn't a matter of life and death, he wouldn't want to be a dog to a foreign race. The foreign race looked down on the Han people, and most of them would plunder some Han people as slaves. If they took refuge in these foreign races, which were even more tyrannical than the barbarians, life would be even more difficult.

"No!" Yong Kai struggled for a while, but finally shook his head firmly: "The Yong clan is the family of the Hanchens. Even if the clan is destroyed, we must not lose the lessons of our ancestors and become dogs to other races!"

He is very afraid of death, but he is even more afraid of being sorry to his ancestors. As the patriarch of a big family, he can die, but he can't let the Yong family be stabbed in the back for generations.

"Patriarch, just got the news!" Yongtong walked up quickly, a little hasty, and said directly to Yongkai: "The Mujun has occupied the Chaishan on the left and the road in and out of Chaiyu. It will take half an hour at most. You can come to the city!"

"Come so fast?"

Yong Kai and Xu Min looked at each other, suddenly startled.

I thought it would take at least half a day for the Mu army to reach the city, but I didn't expect that the Mu army was so fast that they had already captured the Chaishan Mountain and occupied the access road.

"Pass my order, the whole army will fight!"

Yong Kai took a deep breath, and started to drink loudly.

He thought that this battle should continue. Even if he knew that he had no way out, he couldn't let Mu Jun win it easily. It was a matter of dignity, which he would defend to the death.

........................

"This city is a bit special!"

On the hill, Huang Zhong was condescending, looking at the city wall in the distance. This is just a small city, but suddenly, it can give people a sense of danger. This is an intuition that has been battle-tested.

"The east and west are surrounded by mountains, and the way out from the north to the south is blocked. Now they are fighting like trapped beasts!"

Chen Dao glanced around, and asked in puzzlement, "Do they still have a chance to break through?"

"Don't be too absolute!"

Huang Zhong kept vigilant all the time, and said: "At most, we just look at the map. The terrain here is not as good as them after all. No one can say for sure how many roads we don't know. I'm not surprised if they can break through. !"

He paused, and continued: "The more hopeless people are, the more we should not underestimate them. After all, no one knows what they can do. In the face of life and death, people will go crazy. In your hands, you have to be careful of capsizing in the gutter!"

"Yes!"

Chen nodded.

"General, Xi Sima is coming, shall we wait for him to arrive and attack instead?"

"unnecessary!"

Huang Zhong shook his head: "Try to attack first, and test the reaction of the city!"

"promise!"

Chen Dao took the order and left.
