"A hundred thousand troops besieging the city?" Cai Mao and Huang Zu, when they heard the scout's report, their whole people seemed to be frozen in an ice cellar.

"How so?"

Cai Mao said gloomily: "Is the pastoral army going to attack desperately and fail to break my Jingzhou City?" ”

"It's not impossible!"

Huang Zu said in a low voice.

"Waterway, we still have hope!"

Cai Mao gritted her teeth.

"Report!"

A pass.

"Enter!"

"Grand Governor, the scout ship is back!"

"What's going on with the shepherds?"

"The warships of the herdsmen, across the Han River, have not moved much with us upstream, but in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, we found that many warships have blocked the mouth of the river, and are cutting down trees to build camps, and we are camping in Shuizhai!"

"What?"

The words of the scout lieutenant made Cai Mao and Huang Zu directly provoke.

Even if an army of 100,000 besieged the city.

None of them are as lethal as this sentence.

"How is that possible?"

Cai Mao suddenly shouted angrily.

"The shepherds don't have such abilities!"

Huang Zu was stunned for a moment, and then said softly: "If someone can block the Yangtze River, I'm afraid there is only one person!" ”

"Is that him?"

Cai Mao also knew who Huang Zu was referring to.

"Zhang Yun!!" An angry roar rang out: "Traitor, this damned traitor, I will never let you go!" ”

Cai Mao was angry.

His pupils, hideous blood, up and down his body, were full of anger and rage, as if he wanted to burn everything clean.

Because his last back road, suddenly, has been cut off.

And this person who cut off his last way of life and the last way out of his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is actually one of the people he is most familiar with, the general of Jingzhou, Zhang Yun.

Scout ships, in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, found that large-scale warships are building water villages.

The shepherds do not have this ability.

There is only one, that is, Zhang Yun, who is Chen Bing in Huarong Dao, and all his soldiers and horses are across the Yangtze River, which is not equivalent to blocking him in Jingzhou City.

The main force of Jingzhou is basically dominated by the naval army.

The strength of the navy is that they can enter and exit freely on the criss-crossing waterways, and losing this is equivalent to losing the advantage of the navy, and without the advantage of the navy, they are lambs to the slaughter.

Thinking that Zhang Yun might surrender.

But he would never have imagined that Zhang Yun would send troops.

Isn't he afraid that he will become the target of scolding from the people of Jingzhou and become a traitor among everyone's accusations, this is a reputation that has been stinking for thousands of years, and it will be recorded in a local chronicle.

"The matter has come to this, there is no point in thinking about right and wrong anymore, we should think about how to deal with it, if it goes on like this, we will die without a place to be buried!"

Huang Zu also had a chill rising from his back, but he couldn't do anything about it.

The situation is changing too fast.

He is not resentful of anyone.

Just can't think of it.

I can't imagine that the hearts of Jingzhou people will collapse so easily.

Since Mu Jing broke through Jiangxia, came to a center to blossom, captured Liu Biao, and banned Jingzhou's central system, the entire Jingzhou army has become a scattered sand.

The first to be taken down was Han Xuan in Changsha.

After Jiangxia was taken.

Changsha is the last place where Jingzhou can make a comeback, but after Han Xuan surrendered to herding, the Jingzhou army lost its last hope, hoping that once it is extinguished, a chain reaction will appear.

Wen Ping's army was defeated and captured, which was the beginning of the disintegration of Jingzhou's main force.

As for Zhang Yun's being taken down.

Unexpected, but also reasonable.

Even if Zhang Yun dared to face life and death, fearless of threats, and even had the heart to fight to the death with the herdsman, he had to think about the future of his 50,000 sons.

He didn't dare to put the life of his sons on the gambling table.

His surrender may have been predestined long ago.

"What else can I do now?"

Cai Mao walked back and forth, his steps were messy, which meant that his state of mind was also shattered, this is a person whose hope was broken and entered despair, and his whole person was irritable: "The blocked Yangtze River, we don't even have the last way!" ”

"Can you surrender?" Huang Zu asked.

"Do you dare to surrender?"

Cai Mao raised his head, staring at Huang Zu with red bloody eyes.

Over the years, they and the pastoral army fought fiercely, between the two sides, I don't know how much blood, especially in the previous battle of Jingzhou City, Cai Mao was the main force, Huang Zu was the support, and the two slaughtered the sons and daughters of the Yizhou herdsmen who didn't know how much.

This is a blood debt.

Let them not dare to surrender easily.

At this time, surrender is a way to live or a dead end, it is impossible to say.

With soldiers in their hands, they still have hope of being alive.

If there are no soldiers in their hands, then they can only be lambs to the slaughter, and they will not even have the slightest ability to resist.

"But if this stalemate continues, how long can our Jingzhou City hold out?"

Huang Zu sighed, his expression was a little silent, and he said in a low voice: "Even if there is grain and grass in the city, it can even make us last until the spring of next year, but the people's hearts are brilliant, even if they don't need to attack, besieging the city for a month, it can make us mess up, and when the time comes, don't let your head become the foundation of the lives of those people below!" ”

People's hearts will be confused.

When the time comes, it will be a desperate situation, if the people outside don't kill him, the people below will also rebel, everyone wants a way to live, even if it is a confidant, in the face of life and death, there are few people who are willing to die with them.

"Not really!"

Cai Mao turned his heart and said, "Break through!" ”

"Breakout?"

Huang Zu squinted, how likely is this, in fact, he and Cai Mao both know that they are really unwilling to come to this point when they have to do so.

"Although Zhang Yun has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and is proficient in water warfare, but there are very few warships, I estimate that most of his command, are bamboo rafts and wooden rows of fishing boats, blockading the Yangtze River, there must be some shortcomings, we may have a chance to break through!"

Cai Mao calmed down, thought about it, and said faintly.

"We are familiar with him, and he is also familiar with us, Cai Gong, don't forget, this fang is proficient in all our tactics, the offense is insufficient, the defense is definitely okay, he has enough soldiers and horses, even if the warships are insufficient, he can temporarily establish a water village to support combat effectiveness!"

Huang Zu was not so optimistic, he said with a wry smile: "If we want to break through from the river, we don't have much hope, even if we cross his pass, as long as the troops are reduced too much, we can't break through the waterways below!" ”

"I don't know!"

Cai Mao sighed: "But this is already the only way, on land, there must be no hope, the main force of the pastoral army, you and I both know that the 100,000 army is besieging the city, and we can't rush out at all!" ”

"Fight to the death!"

Huang Zu's face also became resolute.

Until now.

If they are allowed to raise their troops and surrender.

They really can't do it.

"Report!"

Another voice, a passage beyond the main hall.

The bad news came one after another, making Cai Mao's temper very manic: "Enter! ”

"Governor of the capital, under the gate of the north city, there is a herdsman envoy, asking to enter the city!"

A gatekeeper took a letter of worship and a seal.

"Herdsman?"

Cai Mao and Huang Zu glanced at each other.

"What should I do?" Huang Zu asked.

"Let's meet!"

Cai Mao thought about it: "We are already at a dead end, and we are not afraid to meet them, listen to what they say, if it is nonsense, then directly cut off their sacrificial flags, cheer up the morale of the army, and hope to kill them!" ”

His voice was murderous.
