The last three kingdoms

Chapter 623 Messy

Xu Wu, governor of Liangzhou, was in complete disarray.

Xu Wu has a deep understanding of how powerful the bald tree is. He raised an army of [-] and swept across the entire Liangzhou. Now, except for the four county towns of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, all other cities in Liangzhou have been killed. All fell, and these four isolated cities have also been surrounded by Xianbei people.

Guzang is not only the county seat of Wuwei, but also the state capital of Liangzhou. In order to win Guzang, the bald tree machine assembled tens of thousands of elite soldiers and launched a fierce attack on Guzang. The war continued for several months. Zang is already in danger.

It's not that Xu Wu is incapable, it's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.Xu Wu's father, Xu Miao, used to be the governor of Liangzhou. He had a great reputation in the northwest. Under governance, state borders are quiet and the Western Regions are unblocked.It is precisely because of this that Sima Zhao appointed Xu Wu as the governor of Liangzhou, trying to use Xu Miao's influence in Liangzhou to restore the declining situation in Liangzhou.

But time has passed, and the strong rise of the Xianbei Bald Hair Division has completely disrupted the balance in the northwest region. Even if Xu Miao is reborn, it will not help.Now the Jin State only has about [-] troops in the Liangzhou area, which are distributed among the four counties, and the guards in each county are only about [-]. How can such a pitiful army be able to compete with the mighty bald tree? ?
After holding on for a few months, the defense of Guzang City is already riddled with holes, and the five thousand defenders have already lost half of their casualties. Now the defenders of Guzang are exhausted and their morale has dropped to the lowest level. Commanding the battle on the front line at the top of the city, perhaps Guzang City has already fallen.

There is no food and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside. This cannot help but make Xu Wu feel desperate. Since the land of Guanlong fell to the Kingdom of Shu, the entire Liangzhou has become an enclave of the Kingdom of Jin, and reinforcements can no longer be counted on. As for Gu Zang How long the city can be defended is estimated to be counted by counting fingers.

"Xu Shijun, just take a look at this." Wuwei prefect Tiao Mao hurried over and presented a letter to Xu Wu.

"This is?" Xu Wu was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that Tiao Mao should at least briefly explain the content of the letter, but Tiao Mao didn't say anything, but handed over the letter directly.

A trace of unspeakable bitterness flashed across Tiao Mao's face: "This should be good news, but it's not good news."

Hearing Tiao Mao's self-contradictory words, Xu Wu was even more confused, but he didn't ask any more questions, because he knew that the answer was in the letter in his hand.

Opening the letter, there are only a few simple lines. This is a letter of persuasion, and the letter is signed by the name of Liu Yin, the general of the Shu Han hussars and the governor of the Yongliang military.When Xu Wu stared at Liu Yin's name, he was a little dazed. No wonder Tiao Mao said that this was good news, but it was not good news. The arrival of Liu Yin's army at least resolved the crisis in Gu Zang, but from Jin Shu Judging from the confrontation between the two countries, Liangzhou has undoubtedly added a new enemy.

"Where is Liu Yin now?" Xu Wu asked calmly.

Tiao Mao also had some understanding of the situation of the Shu army, and said: "Since Liu Yin led the army to send troops from Longyou, he has sent out surprise troops, crossed the Yellow River from the Cizhi River, captured Xiping in one fell swoop, and wiped out two Xianbei tribes in the Yiyi Gorge. More than [-] people, and then marched northward, defeated the attack of the bald tree function twice, and now the soldiers have arrived at the city of Wuwei."

Xu Wu had a strange expression on his face, and the bald tree was very powerful. Xu Wu didn't know that Liu Yin was able to win three consecutive victories in the three battles against the Xianbei, which is already quite a remarkable record. Especially the annihilation of 2 people in Xianbei in Yiyixia is even more amazing.

"How many troops does Liu Yin command here?"

"About 2 people."

"More than 2 people?" Xu Wu said in surprise, "You mean Liu Yin can eat 2 horses lacking the function of bald hair trees in Yiyixia with only 2 people?"

"The specific situation of the battle is not clear, but the number of Shu troops currently visible in Wuwei City is about 3000 to [-]. Moreover, the vast majority of these troops are infantry, and there are almost no horses." In the end, Tiao Mao bit the words that most of them were infantry very hard, and seemed to point it out to Xu Wu intentionally.

Xu Wu was really surprised this time and couldn't say a word. He has been in Liangzhou for a long time, so he naturally knows the difference between cavalry and infantry. In a normal confrontation, five thousand infantry may not be able to defeat a thousand cavalry. Especially in a desert plain like Liangzhou, the role of the cavalry can be said to be fully utilized. Apart from relying on strong cities and fortresses for defense, it is difficult for the infantry to compete with the Xianbei cavalry.

And Liu Yin led only more than 2 infantry, and dared to cross thousands of miles to expedition to Liangzhou. This is simply unimaginable. Of course, what is even more surprising is Liu Yin's record. Complete victory, and there was an annihilation battle among them, Xu Wu already felt that his brain was not enough.

let me take it easy...

Xu Wu is really messed up this time. Xu Wu has seen famous generals who strategize, fierce generals who are good at fighting tough battles, and brave generals who charge into battle, but he has never seen a character like Liu Yin. The land of Long will fall, such a terrifying and powerful opponent is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Xu Shijun, look... what should we do?" Tiao Mao stammered.

Xu Wu came back to his senses. At this time, he realized that no matter what results Liu Yin achieved, he was his enemy after all. And this powerful enemy has already approached the city and handed them a letter of persuasion. Obviously, If they refuse to surrender, Wuwei City will face another fierce battle.

Xu Wu knew the current situation of Guzang City better than anyone else. He had tried his best to support the city until it was destroyed. Now that the Shu army was approaching the city again, and faced with enemies on both sides, it was impossible to defend it no matter what.

As the prefect of Wuwei, Tiao Mao naturally knew what the situation was like. There were only two roads before them, and that was the question of who would hand over the city.Now the Xianbei people are staring at the north of Guzang, while the Shu army is also fighting each other in the south of Guzang City. Their targets are Guzang City or the entire Liangzhou. It can be said that the Wuwei defenders are dealing with any road. There are many difficulties, and it is just a dream to repel the two enemy troops. Tiao Mao is a very realistic one. Since Wuwei can no longer be defended, then he has to consider the fate of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city.
