Chapter 161: Defending Tokugawa Castle

"My lord, I didn't mean that, I meant that we could give up Tokugawa Castle for a while." Li Dehai said.

"Abandon Tokugawa-gun for the time being?" Qin Duan said with some confusion.

"Yes, my lord, the Huns are nomads, and their lives are inseparable from the grasslands, so even if they get Tokugawa Castle, they will evacuate in less than a month, so we evacuate Tokugawa Castle first, and then give Tokugawa Castle to the Huns, they will stay for a short time, and when they leave, we will return to Tokugawa Castle." Li Dehai said.

"What about the people of the city?" Qin Duan asked.

"This is completely okay for them to evacuate with us, if they are not willing to evacuate with us, what will happen to the Huns at that time, we will have no choice." Li Dehai said.

"That's what you mean as the governor of Tokugawa Prefecture?" Qin Duan asked a little unhappily.

"Yes, Lord Gunner."

Li Dehai said that in terms of forces and troops, his side has an absolute advantage over the new county guard, so Li Dehai doesn't care about Qin Duan's attitude at all.

"What about the opinions of the rest of my colleagues?" Qin Du looked at everyone and asked.

"I think what Master Li said is very right, we are not the opponent of the 100,000 cavalry of the Huns at all, and it is a wise choice to evacuate Tokugawa Castle." Tokugawa County Inspector Wu Debao said.

"I also agree with Master Lee's opinion."

Li Da, the chief soldier, said that Li Dacai would not let his 50,000 troops fight with the Hun army like this, which would be unwise, so Li Da also felt that it was the wisest choice to evacuate Tokugawa City, anyway, he had come here like this before.

"Fart, it's okay if someone else is a civil official who is greedy for life and afraid of death, you are the chief soldier of Tokugawa Prefecture. You are also greedy for life and afraid of death, don't you feel blushing? Li Daring couldn't help but scold, this battle hasn't been fought yet, so he wants to run away, what kind of people are these.

"You, a little brigade commander, actually talk to me like that. Do you still have humility in your eyes, and do you still have me as a boss? Li Da said very unhappily.

"Okay, don't make any noise, what do you mean, Lord Wu?"

After Qin Dui shouted loudly, he looked at Wu Sang and asked, Now these old-school forces in Tokugawa County are listening to the words of this Tokugawa County garrison Wu Sang, so Qin Dui wants to hear his opinion.

"Your Excellency, the total number of troops in the entire prefecture of Tokugawa Prefecture is less than 50,000, plus the 20,000 troops that your lord has brought with you now. There are only 70,000 troops, and the army in Tokugawa Castle is only about 40,000, how can it be the opponent of the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Huns? ā€

Wu Sang said that for Wu Sang, the most important thing is to ensure his life, as long as his life is there, everything will be there, if he is stupid to fight against the Hun iron horse. That's just looking for death, Wu Sang doesn't want to do such a stupid thing.

"Let's put it this way. Kure-sama is about to abandon Tokugawa Castle. Qin Duan asked.

"My lord, I'm giving up Tokugawa Castle for the time being." Wu Sang said.

"And where are we going?" Qin Duan asked.

"My lord, we can retreat to Yucheng Mansion." Wu Santi yƬ said.

"Except for evacuation, don't we even have the courage to fight the Huns?"

Qin Du said unhappily that they could evacuate, but not as the warden of Tokugawa County. If he, the newly appointed Tokugawa County Guard, has not seen the shadow of the Hun cavalry, he will be frightened and flee from the city, and the reputation he has accumulated along the way will be completely wasted, how will he gain a foothold in Tokugawa County in the future.

"Your Excellency. It's not that we don't have courage. The enemy is really strong and I am weak, and I can't stop the iron cavalry of the Huns. Li Da said.

"It's a shame that you're still a general soldier, and it's embarrassing to say that you escaped from the battle, just because you are greedy for life and afraid of death, so our northwest will fall to the point where it is today."

Qin Dui said very unhappily, for this Li Da, Qin Dui, as the county guard of Tokugawa County, does not need to be polite to him, whether it is in terms of official position or in the strength of Tokugawa City, Qin Duan is not inferior to him, he can say those words to Li Dada, and he will never dare to be disrespectful to himself, the county guard of Tokugawa County.

"My lord, it's not that a certain general is unwilling to fight to the death with the Huns, the main thing is that our Tokugawa County really can't resist the iron cavalry of the Huns." Li Da said.

"So, you all want to evacuate." Qin Duan asked.

"My lord, all these years have been like this, don't look menacing the Huns, in fact, it's only a matter of a month or two, after a month or two, they will evacuate, why don't we take refuge for a month or two, there is no need to let the soldiers give their lives in vain." Wu Sang said.

"Looks like you've all decided to evacuate Tokugawa Castle?" Qin Duan asked.

"My lord, don't do it for nothing, then the consequences will only cost you your life in vain." Wu Sang said.

"Lord Wu, are you serious, our Tokugawa City is not safe and has no resistance, we at least occupy the time and these people, if the iron cavalry of the Huns dares to come, we can give them a chance to come and go." Qin Du said.

"My lord, you have confidence, but we don't have any confidence, we have dealt with the Huns for so many years, and we know that the Huns are powerful, and we are not their opponents at all." Wu Sang said.

"None of you have ever confronted the Huns, so you think you are inferior to the Huns, are you a little ridiculous?" Qin Duan said unceremoniously.

"My lord, I'm not alarmist, we really are no match for the Huns." Li Da said.

"Is that so?"

Qin Du pondered for a while before raising his head, his face was a little red, his eyes were like torches, revealing a look that only gamblers with red eyes would have, and glanced at everyone, "I thought about it for a while, I want to have a gamble with a few people, I don't know if everyone can trust me?" ā€

Liang Qiming took the lead in expressing his position: "I am willing to listen to my lord's orders." ā€

Zhu Yongqing, Shangguan Yonglun, Li Daring and other people belonging to the First Army all stood up and said. "Please give me the order." ā€

"Good! It is also clear to you in the report just now that the cavalry of the Huns has already driven to the Tokugawa guntown, and I judge that the enemy probably thinks that there are no troops in this area that can compete with it, so they will kill us directly to the Tokugawa gun, and do not divide the troops into the Tokugawa guntown, and it is estimated that they plan to completely defeat our defenders first, and then follow up with the troops to loot. I want to make a bet with the Huns in Tokugawa-gun. Qin Duan's tone was a little excited.

"But my lord, there are more than 100,000 troops of the Huns, and they are all well-equipped iron horses, we are currently only more than 70,000 people, most of them are recruits who have not been on the battlefield, the difference between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, I think this battle is a loss of ten or nine."

Wu Sang said that the former Tokugawa County officials represented by Wu Sang were unwilling to directly confront the Huns, and still wanted to flee and dodge.

"Since Lord Wu wants to go out and hide for a while, I don't force it, anyway, I, the warden of Tokugawa County, want to live and die with Tokugawa Castle, if anyone here thinks that he is still a man, and if he has the so-called courage, he will stay and guard Tokugawa Castle with me, and live and die with Tokugawa Castle."

Qin Duan stood up and said, Qin Duan understood that all the people here could retreat, but he couldn't, he was the Tokugawa County Commander appointed by the Great Qin Empire, and if he abandoned Tokugawa City with them, he would face a situation where he would die without a place to bury.

"A certain general is willing to live and die with Tokugawa Castle with adults." Liang Qiming stood up and said.

"A certain general is also willing to defend Tokugawa Castle with adults." Master Li stood up and said.

"A certain general is willing to live and die with Tokugawa Castle."

……

Soon, the officers who had come all the way to Tokugawa Castle with Qin Du stood up one after another in response to the decision of the county keeper to defend Tokugawa Castle.

"A certain general is willing to follow the adults to defend Tokugawa Castle."

Xu Nan, the cavalry guerrilla general of Tokugawa County, stood up and said, Xu Nan has been depressed enough over the years, he has 10,000 cavalry, and he has never fought with the Hungarian cavalry, every time the Humriots attack, these adults choose to abandon the city and flee, which makes Xu Nan, who has been the main station, particularly uncomfortable, and now there is finally a county guard who is willing to fight to the death with the Hungarian cavalry, Xu Nan must support it.

"A certain general is willing to defend Tokugawa Castle with adults."

General Li Sancai stood up and said, as a participant of Tokugawa Castle, he has been retreating without a fight all these years, and Li Sancai, who is a general of Tokugawa Castle, has been scolded by the people of Tokugawa Castle miserably, this time it is rare that this new county keeper wants to defend Tokugawa Castle to the death, this is Li Sancai like a native of Tokugawa County, to the world, to prove that he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, so Li Sancai is very supportive of Qin Dui's decision to defend Tokugawa Castle.

"A certain general is willing to follow the adults to defend Tokugawa Castle."

A commander of Tokugawa Castle stood up and said, "After waiting for so many years, I finally waited for a county keeper like a gentleman."

"A certain general is willing to follow the adults to defend Tokugawa Castle."

"A certain general is willing to follow the adults to defend Tokugawa Castle."

"A certain general is willing to follow the adults to defend Tokugawa Castle."

……

Soon, many of the original officers of Tokugawa Prefecture stood up one after another to support Qin Dui's decision, these people were originally the main battle faction in the Tokugawa County army, but they have always been in a weak position, and now there is finally a county warden who is the main battle, and they must have strongly supported it.

"Very good, it seems that our men in Tokugawa Prefecture have not died, and there are still many people who are very courageous."

Qin Duan said happily, he didn't expect that one-third of the former Tokugawa County officers would support his decision, it seems that the officers in these Tokugawa County armies are not monolithic, there are still many main battle factions, these people are what Qin Du wants to fight for.

"Lord Wu, are you still thinking about how to evacuate Tokugawa Prefecture?"

Qin Duan stared at Wu Sang and asked, he didn't have a good impression of this Wu Sang Qin Dui, Qin Duan even suspected that the former Tokugawa County Warden was killed by him, and the purpose was to replace him. (To be continued......)
