Chapter 477: The Matter of Yizhou (8)
Although Marshal Sandong had a retreat in his heart, he didn't really make a decision.
Moreover, there is no good reason to occupy it, if it retreats like this, how will Lu Meng see it? And how do you get rid of Meng Huo? Also hesitant.
The situation in the city made them feel uneasy.
But there were less than 10,000 defenders in the city, but they had 60,000 people, and there were 70,000 troops outside the city.
Taking Jianning City is also an important step to fully control Yizhou.
After all, what Meng Huo represents now is not as simple as the lord of the Southern Barbarians, but also the biggest leader of the resistance forces in Yizhou, and after removing Meng Shu, he can quickly disintegrate the resistance forces in Yizhou.
In this way, you can quickly control the entire land of Yizhou.
If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have come, and LΓΌ Meng wouldn't have led an army of 50,000 from Baling County to come, just to ensure that Jianning City and Meng Shu were taken without fail.
This is also the reason for their hesitation.
Although Marshal Sandong hesitated.
The pace of the army did not stop, because there was no order, and it still did not hurry towards the center of the city.
Then.
"Report, three generals, the enemy army was found in front of the city lord's mansion, and Meng Shu and other enemy leaders were in front of the city lord's mansion, and in the process of investigating again, we found that there were soldiers and horses entering the south city gate!" A soldier dressed in a barbarian uniform came to report, his head bowed.
"Probe!" The golden ring three knots waved his hand.
The barbarian soldier who came to report did not hesitate at all, bowed his hand, and then turned to leave, without raising his head from beginning to end.
The three of Jinhuan Sanjie, Ah Huilan, and Dong Di didn't notice this, or rather, they didn't care at all.
"Meng Shu gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion, does this mean that he wants to fight to the death with us there?" Jin Huan Sanjie touched his chin and said.
Although he had already learned where Meng Shu was, he did not let the pace of the army quicken.
Ah Hui shook his head and said, "Maybe, but what we should be concerned about is the movement at the South City Gate!" β
"Exactly!" Dong Dana echoed.
On the south side of the city gate, it is also the place where the 50,000 army led by Lu Meng is located.
Although their movements are a little slower.
Since Lu Meng had already given them the task of attacking the city, but he sent soldiers and horses to enter through the southern city gate, the meaning of it had to be explored.
In their opinion, this is obviously the existence of grabbing credit.
The three of them glanced at each other, and did not hesitate any longer, and their eyes showed a determined look.
Immediately, with a wave of his hand, he let the army advance quickly and rushed to the city lord's mansion.
Now that we have known where Meng Huo is, there is no need to be cautious about the embankment, and the appearance of Meng Huo also shows that there will not be much of a threat, even if there is something behind, as long as there is an impact, take down Meng Huo, then it will all be solved, and there will be no accidents.
Having figured out the key point, there is no need to have any reservations.
With the order of the marshal of the three caves.
The speed of the army's march also accelerated, and it quickly headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Speed up.
Soon.
Marshal Sandong led the army and rushed to the city lord's mansion.
There were no lights in the city lord's mansion, only by the moonlight and the torches held by the barbarian army could they see the situation in front of the city lord's mansion.
Saw.
In front of the gate of the city lord's mansion, Meng Shu and the group of officials left behind were stationed on the steps, and below the steps, there were more than 1,000 defenders lined up.
The shield man was ahead, the spearman followed closely behind, exposing the tip of the spear beyond the shield, followed by the knife hand.
On the walls of the mansion, you can see arrows emitting a cold light, where the archers are.
However, in the face of the crowd of enemy troops on the street in front of the City Lord's Mansion, it seemed so small and so weak.
After all, more than a thousand people, facing 60,000 people, it is obviously not a level of existence.
However.
Although more than 1,000 people faced 60,000 enemy troops, there was no expression of fear on the faces of these more than 1,000 people, but they looked very dignified.
"Traitorous villain, dare to come out and talk?" Meng Shou shouted with full of anger.
For the betrayal of Marshal Sandong, he was still very angry in his heart.
If it weren't for Marshal Sandong's betrayal, no matter how chaotic Yizhou was, he would have a chance to fight back, and he would not fall into the current dead end.
But it had already happened, and there was nothing he could do.
can only pay the last glory, let it pay the price, and then make some contributions for the Qin army's counterattack on Yizhou later, that's all.
Exactly.
He decided to stay in the city and did not flee.
In the enemy camp ahead.
A road was separated, and the three people in the rear, Jinhuan Sanjie, Dong Dana, and Ah Huilan, also walked out of the army and looked at Meng Shu on the steps.
It didn't directly let the army attack.
In their opinion, Meng Shu is now just a turtle in an urn, and at the end of the strong crossbow, there is no chance, there are more than 1,000 people, and they only need one impact to be able to take them all.
As for the news that the defenders have been found, there are still thousands of them.
Perhaps the remaining defenders had abandoned Meng before they arrived, which is why the gates were wide open and they were not harassed when they entered the city.
The uneasiness that had arisen in the hearts of the three of them before was also put down, and a smile appeared on their faces, and they all saluted Meng Shu hypocritically.
"Meng Huo, why do you have to resist, now in Yizhou, it has almost fallen into the hands of Wu State, even Zhang Song, who is guarding Chengdu, has rebelled against Qin Yin, and Qin Yin is leading a large army to attack Wu State, stalemate outside the Lujiang River, there is no way to return to help, as long as he takes refuge in Wu State, he can be added to the official rank, why not!" Jinhuan Sanjie said with a smile.
"Exactly!" Ah Hui also spoke, "Now Chang'an is empty, when Yizhou is stabilized, more than 100,000 troops will be able to break through Chang'an in one fell swoop, Qin Yin will no longer be able to turn over, if you are willing to surrender, we will not hurt your life." β
Dong Dana didn't say anything, but the expression on his face already said everything.
It looks righteous and awe-inspiring.
Although they controlled 80,000 barbarian troops, Meng Shu's prestige in the barbarian army could not be eliminated in a day or two, and they behaved like this, just trying to win over the hearts of the army.
took refuge in Sun Quan, but he also needs to have military power in his hands, so that he will have more power to speak and get greater benefits.
Even if Meng Shu surrendered, they would find an excuse to get rid of Meng Shu, and they would not let Meng Huo have another chance to control the barbarian army.
"It seems that you really don't have any regrets!" Meng Shu sighed, "In this way, there is no need for me to hesitate. β
Originally, he still had some hesitation, and most of the people in the city did not leave.
If Marshal Sandong had remorse and returned the military power to him, then there was no need to go to the last step, and in the face of the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Lu Meng, they would also have the strength to counterattack.
Can....
Then there's no need to think about anything.
Moreover, things have already been arranged.
