Chapter 152: Stone Castle

A big war didn't last long.

Because it will soon be night.

After nightfall, all operations were terminated, except for those who were desperately trying to escape.

Wu Jin's subordinates also had too few people, and although they won, they couldn't control the entire battlefield.

The next day, Wu Jin dragged the departments behind one after another.

In this way, Wu Jin began to collect prisoners and pursue deserters.

Among the people in Manjun's subordinates, some of the people who were coerced from Gansu would not flee, but the old team that followed Manjun to raise troops was stubbornly resistant.

It's just a matter of days to search the mountains. But there was no trace of Man Jun, and after counting the prisoners, there were about 30,000 less, even if many soldiers were scattered. But there should also be more than 10,000 elites under Man Jun's command.

At this time, where did Man Jun go, and it became. Wu Jin was eager to know the news.

Soon there was news from Man Jun.

Because Man Jun didn't go anywhere else, but went to Guyuan.

In fact, Man Jun wanted to go somewhere else, but he really had no way out. Before the Manchu family migrated to Yanyan, they lived in Guyuan, and he was too familiar with the mountains and rivers of Guyuan.

It is precisely because of this familiarity that they can hide from the pursuit of the army. Escape.

Elsewhere, he simply couldn't do that.

However, no matter how you say it, there are more than 10,000 horses in Manjun's department, and there are always clues.

After getting the news of Man Jun, Wu Jin didn't say a word, and chased after Guyuan with his headquarters. This time, Man Jun didn't run. After sacking nearby villages, they were trapped in one place.

Wu Jin naturally came here.

At this moment, Wu Jin has a headquarters under his command, a part of Ningxia Town, a part of Gansu Town, and a part of Shaanxi Dusi, and Xining Town also sent a reinforcement, and the troops in their hands are combined, there are 100,000 people.

This is the real strength of Daming.

It's just that even if Wu Jin has 100,000 people, when he sees this, he gasps.

Because the place where Manjun is trapped is not somewhere else, but a stone castle one hundred and fifty miles northwest of Guyuan, not too far from the big and small pine mountains.

This stone castle is simply a natural danger. Cliffs on all sides, ape difficulty.

The natural danger is so difficult to overcome, and there are traces of artificial processing, which is said to have been repaired in the Tang Dynasty, and it is even more difficult to fly.

There is only one stone staircase reinforced by the population, but it is only a man wide and can be climbed and down.

There are even rumors that the stone castle where Geshu bleeds like sea water is this fort, and most people think it is not, but they have to admit one time, that is, the danger of this stone castle is not under the one that Geshu attacked.

Even if there were millions of people, it would be impossible to attack a place of this size without piling up corpses all over it.

After Wu Jin saw it, he just ordered all the departments to camp around this city, and the 100,000 army surrounded this castle.

Wu Jin also convened the generals of various ministries to discuss tactics.

Because of this castle, the whole body is red stone, which is very hard, much harder than ordinary castles. Therefore, ordinary methods of digging cities and collapsing cannot be used.

Even if the jack cannon is brought over, I don't know if I can blast the castle open.

As for the other siege methods, none of them worked.

The best thing to do is to besiege it.

Although the stone castle was strong, it was a small city after all, and even though there was a water source in it, they temporarily grabbed some food. But what about firewood?

You can't eat cold food all the time.

Therefore, under the continuous siege, the city will definitely not be able to stand it.

But if there was no matter in the Western Regions, Wu Jin would have chosen this method, but now it is not possible.

The number of troops in the northwest is around 100,000, and now half of them are gathered under the stone castle. You must know that if something happens in the Western Regions, the Northwest Frontier Army should have been the first wave of reinforcements, but now it is stuck here. Firmly pinned.

is also restrained, as well as the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

The northwest was originally barren, but due to geographical reasons, the first thing to use to support the Western Regions was the manpower and material resources of the northwest. Even if the Jingying army is in the northwest, it needs the people of the northwest to maintain it.

Now that 100,000 troops are gathered in this land of bullets, how much manpower and material resources will be consumed?

Therefore, this cancer should be pulled out as soon as possible.

A long-term siege is never possible.

Wu Jin was thinking about how to pull out Man Jun in his heart. At this time, Man Jun was also thinking about how to find a little life for himself.

Full of handsome line four, nickname full four.

All he gathered at the moment were his own family members, most of whom were full of surnames.

After the Battle of Matsuyama, he already knew, and now the situation was decided. He looked at the generals around him, including his own brothers Man Wu and Man Liu, as well as his henchman Li Jun and others.

Man Si said: "I'm sorry for everyone. ”

"Fourth brother, what did you say? Where is your problem, it is clear that the court is not moral, we are at home and let us go to the northwest border and eat wind and sand. Everyone was forced to do it, and when you started the army, you didn't mean it, why did you say it was your business? ”

"Yes."

Several brothers exonerated Mansi.

Man Jun was slightly moved in his heart and said, "Anyway, now we have come to a dead end. ”

"It's not necessarily a dead end." Li Jun said.

This Li Junnai is Han.

This also shows what happened before, in fact, although the Manchu family was born in Mongolia, they have lived in Guyuan for hundreds of years, and they are already very small from the Han people.

This is also the reason why there are Han people under the command of Man Jun.

Man Jun knew that Li Jun had always been resourceful, and said, "Brother Li, what else is there to live?" ”

Li Jun said: "The general also knows the news of the chaos in the Western Regions. ”

Man Jun nodded and said, "Naturally, I've heard of it. There was a bit of bitterness in his mouth, if it weren't for this thing. He didn't have the guts to do that much.

I wanted to make trouble, but I wouldn't have made such a big fuss that it would be difficult to end.

Li Jun said: "If there is no chaos in the Western Regions, we will naturally be unable to escape death, but now the Western Regions are in turmoil, you must know that since he ascended the throne today, he has made great achievements, thorns by tiles, fixed toes, and leveled the Western Regions, this is his martial arts, and if the Western Regions are lost, it will be a slap in the face today, so the Western Regions must not be lost." ”

"The stone castle is extremely strong. The imperial court can only besiege and contain the army, so we have a glimmer of life. ”

"Surrender to the imperial court."

As soon as Li Jun said this, many generals were a little stunned.

"Brother Li, it's not that we don't want to surrender, but in the current situation, will the imperial court still accept us?" A general asked.

For a while, many generals nodded one after another.

They have no opinion on surrendering, what they are worried about is how they will be treated after surrendering?

It would be good if they could be allowed to return to their hometown, but they also knew that it was impossible, even if they were stationed in Juyan, it might not be a way.

In other words, even if it is exiled elsewhere, it is not impossible.

Just stay alive.

What they are most worried about is that if they do these things, I am afraid that the court will not allow them to even live.

Li Jun said: "You have to give it a try." Is there any other way for us to go? ”

Li Jun's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down on everyone's heads. Yes, and now they are no longer qualified to negotiate terms with the imperial court.

Man Jun sighed and said, "Brother Li, just go outside for me and explain it to Wu Jin." As long as I can spare the Manchu family, what if I give him my head? ”

"Whatever the general says, we are willing to live and die with the general, if the court does not let the general go, we will not surrender."

"Yes." The generals expressed their stance one after another.

For a while, Man Jun also showed that he was very moved.

It's just that everyone knows that what they say is a scene.

In such a desperate situation, who can still be truly loyal to Man Jun, even if it is his brother, Man Jun has a chill in his heart, he looks at everyone who shows loyalty to him, and feels that their words are like knives to cut off his head.

Don't know who to trust? Or who do you not believe?

He could only hope for leniency from the imperial court. Otherwise, there is no need for the imperial court to attack, and in this stone castle, there will be a bloody storm first.

In this way, Li Jun secretly left the stone castle with the hope of more than 10,000 remnants, and after being caught by the Ming army scouts, he was sent to Wu Jin's big tent.

Wu Jin listened to Li Jun's words, almost wanted to laugh, and said, "You want to surrender, but you still have to put forward conditions?" ”
