Chapter five hundred and fiftieth: There is no escape
The guard general of Banan City is Dou Tong's younger brother, named Dou Zhong, who does not have much ability. But what is rare is that, like Dou Tong, he can be regarded as a loyal person in Shuzhou.
With the dispatches of various generals, Xu Mu also followed Dou Tong's suggestion and asked Dou Zhong to temporarily guard Banan City.
At this time, after seeing more than 5,000 Liang troops marching, Dou Zhong's face suddenly turned pale with shock.
"Dou Zhong, the former brother of the King of Southern Shu. He is greedy and timid, unlike his brother. Teacher, how about trying to instigate rebellion?"
To be honest, Wei Qiu didn't have much confidence. Banan City is the passage connecting southern Shu and central Shu. It is located in the mountains and is the main pass of Shu state. Even if there are only a thousand defenders, as long as it takes too long,
, the Shuzhou pursuers behind will come to kill them soon.
Simiao was silent for a while and nodded.
"If he surrenders, he will return to Liangzhou and be named a general, leading three battalions of troops."
This condition is not unreasonable. Even Wei Qiu looked a little envious after hearing this. But he also understood that in this situation, getting through Banan City was the most important thing.
A loud arrow flew up the city gate along with the letter.
Looking at the enemy troops outside the city, Dou Zhong, who was originally pale, suddenly became angry after he opened the letter.
Unlike his brother Dou Tong, he was in his thirties and had accomplished nothing. His greatest ability was just a few years ago when he killed a mountain bear with seven guards. Unfortunately, the guard also died.
Five.
Since Xu Mu came to Shu, he was born in southern Shu and has watched the changes in southern Shu day by day. The streets in Nanzhong City have become wider, there are more merchants, and the beauty queens in the Qing Dynasty have become more and more handsome.
In his spare time, he would always take his wife and children for a walk on the streets, and go to the largest restaurant to have a few free meals with Dou Tong's name in mind...
Dou Zhong raised his head, his face suddenly full of anger.
"You guys...you can call me a cowardless person, but I, Dou Zhong, will never be a seller in this life! I call you a fool!"
The rebellion letter was torn into pieces and thrown into the wind.
"This time, I will learn from my brother and become a general in Shuzhou!"
"Get up, get up the smoke!"
Under the city gate, Wei Qiu frowned. He didn't understand. He was obviously a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he suddenly became so brave.
Only Simiao closed his eyes in silence.
"Previously, Lord Yuan was a light that illuminated the truth of many people. Now, it's Xu Buyi's turn, and he has also become a bright light."
Sima Xiu lowered his head, his face full of sighs. He somewhat understood why Xu Buyi insisted on taking a people-oriented approach since he entered Shu.
The people in Chengdu who helped guard the palace, those lowly generals who were willing to die to follow... Sima Xiu only felt that Xu Buyi was vaguely on the verge of regaining his footing.
"Teacher, do you want to attack the city?"
"Attack."
"Attack Banan!" Wei Qiu shouted angrily in the cold winter wind.
More than 4,000 Liang army vanguards began to carry a simple city ladder and rushed towards Banan City, a city with high walls and thick walls. Liangzhou's more than 1,000 foot archers also found favorable terrain and began to launch waves of flying arrows.
Arrow, throw it over the city gate.
"Hold, hold!" Even though he was extremely frightened, Dou Zhong still held his head high and led the few thousand defenders on Banan City to start a counterattack from the city.
He was not a good general. In a hurry, Dou Zhong deployed all his men to defend the attacked city gate with all his strength.
According to his idea, he only needs to block these Liang troops and wait for reinforcements, then he will be done.
Who would have thought that at this moment, at the gate on the other side of the pass city gate, another large army suddenly came out.
A unfamiliar young general from Shuzhou was leading a group of troops and rushed towards Banan City without any warning.
"General Dou, we are trapped in a double attack from both front and rear!"
Listening to this, Dou Zhong almost couldn't stand upright. Finally, he supported the wall and stood upright. Then he shouted tremblingly, "Divide 300 people into guarding the gate on the other side!"
…
At the foot of Banan City, Sima Xiu picked up a withered fruit and pinched it with two palms. The yellow juice suddenly burst out.
"That's it. If we work together, we only need to defeat Banan, and we will have a chance to leave Shuzhou."
Sima Mao, who was in a slumped state with disheveled hair, finally regained some of his energy as he talked.
"Wei Qiu, the announcement goes on. We must fight to the death and break Banan within two days! Banan City is in flames, but there are only a few county soldiers left in the area near southern Shu."
"The poisonous owl claims to have all his plans, but it's a pity that he missed one. If I were him, I would place another garrison in Banan City, a key place like this - "
Before Sima Xiu could finish his words, the sound of a scout reporting back resounded all around.
"Military advisor, the Shu people are rushing to the aid of Banan City! The other army attacking Banan City has already sent out a signal for an enemy attack!"
"What." Simiao was startled.
Wei Qiu's expression next to him was even more incredible, accompanied by a look of panic on his face.
…
"Yuncheng General Ma Yi has been waiting here for a long time under the orders of the military advisor! The Liangzhou thieves will be captured without hesitation!"
A young general with a resolute face was riding on a horse, raising his arms and sword, roaring angrily.
Behind the young general, about five thousand infantry with spears and shields roared towards the front.
Originally, the more than a thousand enemy troops who were still attacking Banan City were frightened when they saw this situation, and the more than five thousand Shu troops who were killed were defeated and defeated.
"Young Master, Young Master, leave quickly!"
As a rebel general in Shuzhou, Huang Zhihu was extremely horrified at this time.
"Dog thief, take a certain knife!" A Shuzhou captain, riding a horse and dragging a knife, took advantage of the charge and dispersed four or five people, and then struck the dazed Huang Zhihu with the long knife in his hand.
Huang Zhihu fell off his horse and broke his arm again. He screamed in pain. Unfortunately, before he could scream more, he was hacked to death by the rushing Shu army again with a knife.
Those who followed Huang Zhihu were temporarily demoralized and could only flee in all directions.
"My military advisor told me that he has arranged ambushes in all directions in Shuzhou. I respectfully invite Army Advisor Sima to die!"
"Respectfully invite Military Advisor Sima to die!" Countless Shu people shouted from a distance across Banan City.
Even at the top of Banan City, Dou Zhong, whose morale was boosted, rarely felt a surge of excitement in his chest.
"I respectfully invite Military Advisor Sima to die!"
…
Under Banan City Pass.
Sima Mao smiled bitterly. He was quite happy before, but unexpectedly, he suddenly became like this.
"Teacher, what should we do? The two passages out of Shu are blocked, and there are Shu troops chasing us behind! I'm afraid these people are really going to die here."
Sima Xiu closed his eyes. He could predict how much effort the Poisonous Osprey had put into this arrangement.
There is the indestructible Banan in front, and the Shu army coming from four directions behind. It seems that they, the fugitive army, have been cornered.
