Chaiyu County, calm as water,

The herdsmen occupied the city wall, but did not immediately attack the city, and the remnants of Yizhou occupied the inner city and held on to the street entrances.

And so the day passed.

This kind of quietness made Meng You, the barbarian army master who was observing the situation outside the city, a little uneasy, he stared at the silent city, his eyes flashed, and he asked naturally to himself: "The war is stopped, why?" “

"Sir, the Evil Dragon City that King Duosi has led his army to occupy, and the Wulu Cave Lord has taken Shuangbai City!"

"Sir, Wang has led the main force, from the west flank, close to Chai Yu!"

When the news came, Meng You was a lot more relieved.

They could have annihilated the Yonghong army in Buwei City, but in the end, they still let it go, allowing Yonghong to lead the troops to escape, until Chai Yu, which was the bait he released.

Similarly, Chai Yu is also his chosen battlefield.

Although the herdsmen are strong, their strength is extremely limited, and they occupy a geographical advantage and a military advantage, so he does not believe that he cannot completely annihilate this group of herdsmen here.

Of course, it is best to capture more than half of them, so that they can exchange the captured barbarian soldiers in the Battle of Weixian, which is a large part of the main force of the barbarian army.

Although the barbarian army also has the ability to serve the whole people, a strong young man is still different from an ordinary woman and child, and the elite main force is still these barbarian warriors who fight bravely.

"Map!"

"In!"

The two barbarian warriors next to him opened a leather map, which was very rough and rough because of the nearby terrain drawn on it, and if it was shown to the general of the herdsmen, they would not look at it at all, because the herdsmen were very strict with the standard configuration of the marching map.

But as far as the barbarians are concerned, such a marching map is already remarkable, very precious, and every one of them is very well preserved.

"Here, here, here, here!!!"

Meng You circled several points on the map with a pen, all of which were around Chai Yu City, only ten or twenty miles apart, and the farthest was less than thirty miles, and said: "Send it to the king, tell the king, these places, you must send troops to camp!" ”

"No!"

A barbarian warrior took the map and quickly left.

………………………………………………

City.

Huang Zhong stood at the head of the city, his eyes hunting, scanning all directions, looking at the undulating silent mountains, the corners of his mouth raised a sneer slightly: "It's too quiet, the quieter it is, the more dangerous it is, it seems that their news is not groundless, perhaps, there are really people waiting for us outside!" ”

"Are barbarians really so bold?"

Chen Zhi clenched his fists: "Even if the barbarian king is anxious, but now that he is newly defeated, can he quickly accumulate the forces to besiege us?" ”

"It's hard to say!"

Huang Zhong said: "The barbarian king Meng Shu, there is a gambling agreement with the lord, it is not impossible for him to take back a city, besides, we don't know how far the strength of the barbarian tribe can go, even if we have just defeated most of their main force, we can't conclude that the barbarian king can't gather the main force to besiege us!" ”

"Could it be that they want to delay time, so they will make up the news!"

Shamoke asked: "And they said that Yonghong has died in battle, this news may not be true, if Yonghong cooperates with the barbarians, we will be in danger!" ”

"It's better to believe what you have than what you don't!"

Huang Zhong shook his head: "Even if Yonghong is not killed in battle, it is estimated that he is still in a state of serious injury, now they are our meal, there is no need to be impatient to deal with them, but if the barbarian army comes to attack, and we are in a state after a big war, then ours will be in trouble, so we must slow down the attack on the city and wait for the news of the barbarian army!" ”

"No!"

The generals nodded.

About a morning later, it entered noon, although there was a red sun shining in all directions overhead, but it was already autumn, the temperature was not high, even the sun, it seemed a little mild.

"Report to the general, the scouts have just discovered that there are a large number of soldiers and horses approaching in the west!" A scout came to report it.

"Got it!"

Huang Zhong took a deep breath: "It seems that it has been determined, it is indeed the main force of the barbarian army that wants to take advantage of our defeat to give us a fisherman!" ”

"What now?"

Chen Zhi asked.

"Outside first inside!" Huang Zhong said coldly: "I'm not afraid of fighting with the barbarian army, but the troubles in the city must be solved, these remnants of the Yonghong tribe are not a few, they still have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, I will never allow it, when we fight with the barbarian army, they are on our left and right, after all, now we have just finished the battle with them, and the hatred between the two sides is too great!" ”

In the battle of Chai Yucheng, the hatred accumulated between the two sides could not be solved overnight, and at this time, they were the most afraid of stabbing in secret.

"Now I order, Jingping's First Army, immediately withdraw from the outskirts of the city and withdraw all of them to the city wall!"

"No!"

"Shamoko!"

"In!"

"Chai Mountain, we must hold it, once we can't hold Chai Yu City, we must retreat to Chai Mountain, fight against the mountain, we must hold Chai Yu, it will be more advantageous!"

"Don't worry, my Wuxi barbarian army is here, and Chaishan will not be breached!"

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Let them go to the city, and inform them that in an hour I will meet them in the main city, in the middle street, and I will not wait for the time!"

"Yes!"

A general took the order and left.

……………………………………………………

An hour later, it was already afternoon, when the sun was hidden in the clouds and a slight autumn wind blew.

In the middle of the city, the main street, the center of the street.

"Two choices!"

Huang Zhong got straight to the point, and there was no drag: "Either you choose to leave, I will let go of a breath in the north, how far and how far you go, it can be regarded as your reward for providing us with information!" ”

"Or, you surrender to my pastoral army, but there is a word first, between us, the battlefield has clashed countless times, both sides have killed a river of blood, the hatred is too deep, I can't believe you, once you surrender, I will not only send you to the battlefield, but also prevent you from biting back!"

"Give me the answer in half an hour!"

Huang Zhong immediately crossed his sword, closed his eyes and recuperated, but here, he was like an undefeated god of war, and the breath of his body was suppressing a radius of tens of meters, and he was a little afraid of even gasping for air.

He Yu, Xu Min and Yongtong glanced at each other.

After Yonghong died in battle, the three of them were respected, He Yu and Yongtong had countless hatred in their eyes, they dreamed of killing the person in front of them and avenging Yonghong, but they had too many thoughts to make them dare not move.

And Xu Min, he was the only one who advocated surrender, Yonghong's death in battle, so that Yizhou lost the opportunity to confront the herdsmen, no matter what the outcome on the battlefield was, no one could bear the banner of blocking the herdsmen's occupation of Nanzhong.

At this time, it is the best choice to return to the Ming Marquis's Mansion.

"Surrender!" Xu Min thought about it and said in a low voice.

"If, after surrendering, they send us to be daredevils, won't we die in vain!" Yongtong said coldly: "I think it's better to leave and let them eat dogs!" ”

"Leave, where are we going?" He Yu was calm, his reason was suppressing his emotions, he clenched his fists, his nails were already deep in the flesh, and he said something like this: "Perhaps, where else can we go?" ”

When Yongtong heard this, he was deflated all of a sudden.

Do they still have a place to go now?

There really isn't any.

The heavens and the earth are big, and there is no place for them.

Return to Yizhou and kill yourself.

Go north to Yuewang, and Yuewang is now also the herding army.

Go west, where to go, where to go, either the Qiang people's place, or the barbarian land, there is no place for the Han people to gain a foothold.

"If we stay, won't we be going to make them cattle and horses?" Yongtong was still a little unwilling: "They hate us so much, it's hard to guarantee that they won't send us to death, not only to shield them from the wind and rain, but also to kill us all!" ”

"It's hard to survive, but ......"

Xu Min said: "Maybe there is a chance, and even if we can't survive, at least, our family is safe, Minghou this person, I have observed many times, although it is not good, nor is it the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, they are fierce to the enemy, but the people who surrendered to him are all good, Yizhou Hao, it was good to flee at the beginning, and now they are either killed in battle, or displaced, the only survivor is the people who were still in Dianchi City, these are the fire of the family, we can't let them be slaughtered by the door because of us!" ”

The crowd fell silent.

Although what Xu Min said was a little cowardly, it was true.

"I abstain, how do you choose, how do I do, I will not object!" Yongtong made a helpless statement.

"Submit to it!"

He Yu squinted, and his eyes flashed with a gleam: "Life and death can be put aside, now, the only thing I want is to survive the children of Yongshi, how many and how much!" ”

Among the remnants, there are not a few soldiers of the Yong family, and these are all the children of the Yong family.

He can't save Yonghong, the only thing he can do is to let the children of the Yong family live more, even if it is a humble life, it is always more important than the death of a man.

Xu Min walked out and said to Huang Zhong: "General Huang Zhong, we choose to be obedient and let us be dispatched, without complaint or regret, I only hope that General Huang Zhong will intercede with the Marquis of Ming, don't involve the children of the family because of our rebellion, but all the sins, we will bear them!" “

"Good!"

Huang Zhong looked at these people with admiration: "No matter what happens in the future, as long as this battle is not fought and you do not rebel, on the day I return to Dianchi, I will personally plead with the lord and beg the lord to release all the children of the Yizhou Hao clan who are detained, of course, how the lord chooses, I can't guarantee it!" ”

"Thank you, General Huang Zhong!"

Xu Min breathed a sigh of relief.

"How many soldiers do you have?" Huang Zhong asked.

"There are only 8,000 soldiers left who can still fight, and countless people have died in battle, and the rest are wounded soldiers and can no longer go to the battlefield!" Xu Min replied.

"Niu Tushan, do you know?"

"Yes!"

Xu Min looked at the surrounding terrain and turned his back like a stream.

"Now you lead 8,000 available soldiers to leave the city and defend Niutu Mountain, no matter what the battle situation is, I have only one request for you, not a single step must leave Niutu Mountain, the barbarian army is coming, you block, the barbarian army is attacking the city, you release, all in all, as long as you don't leave Niutu Mountain, hold Niutu Mountain, all kinds of past events will go from it!"

Huang Zhong said: "But I said the ugly words first, if you are halfway, if you lead the army to leave Niutu Mountain and get close to the city, I should be a rebel, and there will be no forgiveness for killing!" ”

He couldn't believe the remnants of the army.

This is the only way to use it.

Isolate them and still hold a position, which has already weakened the momentum of the barbarian army against the siege, so that they will not worry about the internal situation and can concentrate on meeting the enemy.

"Good!"

Xu Min gritted his teeth and came down.

Huang Zhong can't believe them, and they may not dare to believe Huang Zhong, so it's good for both sides, at least they don't have to go forward directly, the place of Niu Tu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and defense is better than offense.

…………………………

Two days later, outside the city.

Pedal Pedal !!!

The barbarians are approaching.

Meng Huo rode on a big lion, majestic, without the slightest bit of despair that he was forced to cross the river in the past, at this moment, he was the majestic barbarian king.

"Brother, how's it going?" Meng Xu's eyes were faint, cold as ice, and he scanned the whole city.

"Something is wrong!"

Meng You said in a low voice: "The Han people are too capricious! ”

"I expected it!"

Meng Shu sneered: "If Yonghong can betray me, he can naturally betray the Han people, he can betray the Han people, and he can also sell himself!" ”

"Now they seem to be together again!" Meng You said in a low voice: "I haven't seen the siege for two days, and yesterday suddenly a force occupied Niutu Mountain, so I guessed that it should be us who exposed our whereabouts!" ”

"It doesn't matter!"

Meng Shu raised his head and looked ahead: "This time, it's not in Wei County, I've made enough preparations and invited reinforcements, I don't believe it, I can't take them down yet!" ”

"King, do you want to attack at once?"

The golden ring three knots came out and asked loudly.

This is a fierce general under Meng Huo, and it is also a brave general second only to Meng Huo among the barbarians.

"Wait!"

Meng Shu shook his head: "The Han people are cunning, let me see, whether they have really reached a desperate situation, if they are fooled once, I must not be fooled a second time!" ”

"What is the king worried about?"

Meng You keenly sensed that Meng Yu's mind was a little shaky.

"I asked you to keep an eye on the situation over there in Dianchi in Yizhou, is there any news?" Meng asked.

What is he worried about, what he is worried about is that Mu Longtu personally led the main force to come, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, he always had to take precautions, otherwise he would be fooled stupidly, he would not be a barbarian king, he would be a stupid king.

"Minghou is still in Dianchi, this can be determined!"

Meng You said.

"There's nothing wrong with being careful!" Meng Shu said: "I lost to him once, although it was because of Yonghong's betrayal, but it is undeniable that we were indeed defeated, so this battle, no matter what, cannot be defeated!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Meng Wei nodded: "Shuangbai and Evil Dragon, we have taken it down, even if they have reinforcements, they can't come, in addition, on the way north, we have also blocked them, they are difficult to fly in this battle!" ”

"The troops in the city, can you feel clearly?"

"It's not very clear for the time being, a few days ago, they fought very fiercely, they should have killed a lot, even if they didn't die in battle, they also had a lot of wounded soldiers, even if Yonghong took refuge in them, the total number of troops between them definitely did not exceed 30,000!"

"That's good!"

Meng Shu said: "This time, we must drive them all out, how many prisoners can be taken, we can't let our warriors continue to be their prisoners, we must exchange Meng Jie and them back!" ”

He stepped out of the lion, hunting with his eyes, and scanned the city in front of him: "Rest for a day, attack tomorrow, first attack tentatively, and feel their troops!" “

"No!"

A group of cave masters surrendered their orders.

Meng Huo fought in Weixian, lost face and lost his prestige, but in the battle of Buwei, he re-established his prestige, killed Yonghong and abandoned his armor, and the barbarian warriors' admiration for him came back again.

As soon as he gave the order, the tribe did not dare to object.
