Chapter 623: It's Messy
Liangzhou Thorn Shi Xu Wu was completely messy.
How powerful the bald tree function is, Xu Wu is deeply aware of it, and has swept the entire Liangzhou with an army of 100,000 troops, and now in addition to the four county towns of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, the other cities in Liangzhou have all fallen, and these four lonely cities have also fallen into the siege of the Xianbei people.
Guzang is not only the county seat of Wuwei, but also the state seat of Liangzhou, the bald tree function in order to take Guzang, gathered tens of thousands of elite soldiers, launched a fierce attack on Guzang, for several months, the war is not extinguished, Guzang has been in danger.
It's not that Xu Wu's ability is not good, it's really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Xu Wu's father, Xu Miao, had done the history of Liangzhou before, and was known as a prestige in the northwest, not only supported by the border people, but even the surrounding Hu Di did not dare to come easily, and took the initiative to pay tribute and sue for peace. It is precisely because of this that Sima Zhao sent Xu Wu to assassinate the history of Liangzhou, trying to use Xu Miao's influence in Liangzhou to save the situation in Liangzhou.
But time has passed, and the strong rise of the Xianbei Bald Department has completely disrupted the balance in the northwest region, even if Xu Miao is reborn, it will not help. Now the Jin State only has about 20,000 troops in the Liangzhou region, which is divided into four counties, and the garrison of each county is only about 5,000.
After holding on for a few months, the city defense of Guzang City has been riddled with holes, and the five thousand defenders have been killed and wounded half, and now the Guzang defenders are exhausted, and their morale has fallen to the lowest level.
There is no grain and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, which can't help but make Xu Wu feel desperate, because the land of Guanlong fell to Shu, the entire Liangzhou has become an enclave of the Jin State, and the reinforcements can no longer be counted on, as for how long Guzang City can be defended, it is estimated that it can be counted with a finger.
"Xu Yuanjun, take a look at this." Wu Wei Tai Shou Tiao Mao hurriedly came over and presented a letter to Xu Wu.
"What is this?" Xu Wu was a little puzzled, and it stands to reason that Tiao Mao should at least briefly explain the content of the letter, but Tiao Mao did not say it, but handed the letter directly.
A trace of unspeakable bitterness swept over Tiao Mao's face: "This should be good news, but it's not good news." ”
Listening to Tiao Mao's contradictory words, Xu Wu was even more black, but he didn't ask anything more, because he knew that the answer was in the letter in his hand.
Open the letter, only a few simple lines of Liao Liao, this is a letter of persuasion, the letter signed by the name of Liu Yin, the general of the Shu Han Hussars and the military governor of Yongliang. When Xu Wu stared at Liu Yin's name, he was a little distracted, no wonder Tiao Mao would say that this was good news, and it was not good news, Liu Yin led the army to arrive, at least to resolve the crisis of Guzang, but judging from the confrontation between Jin and Shu, Liangzhou has undoubtedly added a new enemy.
"Where is Liu Yin now?" Xu Wu said calmly.
Tiao Mao also has some understanding of the situation of the Shu army, and said: "Liu Yin led the army since Longyou sent troops, skillfully sent surprise troops, crossed the Yellow River from the Cizhi River, captured Xiping in one fell swoop, and annihilated more than 20,000 Xianbei troops in the first-line gorge, and then waved his army to the north, twice thwarted the attack of the bald tree function, and now the troops have arrived under the city of Wuwei. ”
Xu Wu's face was different, the bald tree function was powerful, Xu Wu was not unclear, Liu Yin was able to win three consecutive victories in the three battles against the Xianbei people, which is already a quite remarkable record, especially in the first line of the gorge to annihilate 20,000 Xianbei people, which is even more amazing.
"How many men and horses is Liu Yin commanding here?"
"About 20,000 people."
"More than 20,000 people?" Xu Wu said in surprise, "Are you saying that Liu Yin can eat 20,000 horses lacking bald hair tree function in the first-line gorge with only more than 20,000 people?" ”
"The specific battle situation is not very clear, but at present, the number of Shu troops in Wuwei City is about 20,000 to 23,000. And these armies were overwhelmingly infantry, and it was almost impossible to see a few horses. In the end, Tiao Mao bit the words that the vast majority of them were infantry, and seemed to deliberately point it out to Xu Wu.
Xu Wu was really surprised to say a word this time, he had been in Liangzhou for a long time, naturally knew the gap between cavalry and infantry, in normal confrontations, five thousand infantry may not be able to defeat a thousand cavalry, especially in a desert plain like Liangzhou, the role of cavalry can be said to be incisive, in addition to relying on strong cities and fortresses for defense, it is difficult to have a long time with Xianbei cavalry.
And Liu Yin only led more than 20,000 infantry, he dared to cross thousands of miles and expedition to Liangzhou, which is simply incredible, of course, what is even more surprising is Liu Yin's record, and the Xianbei people, won all three battles, and there was also a war of annihilation, Xu Wu already felt that his brain was not enough.
Let me ...... slowly
Xu Wu is really messy this time, a famous general who is strategizing, a fierce general who is good at fighting tough battles, and a brave general who charges into battle, Xu Wu has seen it, but he has never seen a character like Liu Yin, no wonder the land of Guanlong will fall, such a terrible and powerful opponent is indeed not something that ordinary people can deal with.
"Xu Yuanjun, look...... What should we do? "Tiao Mao said it in a stuttering way.
Xu Wu came back to his senses, and at this time he realized that no matter what results Liu Yin achieved, he was his enemy after all, and this powerful enemy had already come to the city and submitted a letter of persuasion to them, and it was obvious that if he refused to surrender, Wuwei City would face a fierce battle.
Now the situation of Guzang City, Xu Wu knows better than anyone else, he can support the city until it is not broken, he has tried his best, and now the Shu army is coming to the city again, and the enemy is on both sides, and it will not be able to hold it no matter what.
As a martial guard, Tiao Mao naturally knew what the situation was, and there were only two ways in front of them, that is, the question of who would hand over the city to. Now the Xianbei people are eyeing each other in the north of Guzang, and the Shu army is also fighting in the south of Guzang City, their targets are Guzang City or the entire Liangzhou, it can be said that now the Wuwei defenders are facing any road is difficult, want to repel the two enemy troops, it is even more foolish to dream, Tiao Mao is a very realistic, since Wuwei can no longer hold, then he must consider the fate of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city.
