The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 297
The army of Prince Yong's Mansion continued to move towards Tianma Castle, and Zhu Xiaoyong had also learned about the situation.

Seven or eight of the horse scouts sent by the fort had already been killed or injured, which made it impossible for him to skip it.

"There are more than 500 people in total. How could this Yong Palace mobilize so many soldiers and horses? Did they know our whereabouts in advance?" Zhu Xiaoyong murmured.

Because Ma Cheng knew about Yuanyang's situation, he stayed by the side at the moment.

"Zhu Qianhu, Prince Yong's Mansion often sends troops to wipe out monsters, it is very likely...they are also sending troops for this purpose this time!"

Zhu Xiaoyong was noncommittal about this, because none of this mattered anymore, after all, the enemy was right in front of us.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xiaoyong called several hundred households under his command and explained the current situation to them.

"Tell me, what should we do next?" Zhu Xiaoyong asked in a deep voice.

A hundred households immediately said: "Brother, this matter is not easy, such a good fortress, we just need to stay here!"

"Except for the broken ones, the military rations stored in it can be easily supplied to us for two or three months. Are we still afraid of them?"

After this person's voice fell, the rest of the people nodded. They have all put on new armor at this moment.

There are leather armors stored in Tianma Castle. Due to poor protection, many of them are damaged to varying degrees, and they can only be said to be barely usable.

In fact, Zhu Xiaoyong wanted to fight out of the fort, he wanted to see how strong Yongwangfu was.

"You bastards, all you want to do is hide in the castle. Could it be that we have become cowards?" Zhu Xiaoyong reprimanded with a straight face.

Everyone was speechless for a while, and it took a while before they said: "Brother, Tianmabao is located between Liangshan Mountains. Although it can separate the north from the south, it is also located in a small place!"

"Our cavalry can't use it at all in this kind of place, so we can't fight on foot with the people on the opposite side?"

"Even if fighting on foot, Tan Ma said that they have more than 500 people, but we only have 400 people!"

Everyone said one word to another, and there was only one meaning expressed. They could only stick to it and could not fight.

Even though Zhu Xiaoyong wanted to fight, after listening to his subordinates' analysis, he became hesitant at the moment.

"Brother, you have to be careful about this matter, our [-]-odd brothers have traveled a long distance, so we can't break it here!"

"If the eldest brother wants to fight, we will fight with all our strength!"

Zhu Xiaoyong didn't speak, but walked straight outside the house, saying as he walked, "Notify everyone, prepare to fight!"

Do you still want to fight?A few hundred households guessed in their hearts.

Although they have led the army to fight all the time in the past six months, they have all been strong against the weak to kill zombies, and they have never had the experience of fighting the army.

Thinking of the official army coming from the opposite side, and a stronger official army, they were instinctively afraid.

This fear is hidden so deep that even they themselves will not admit it.

The troops in Tianma Castle began to gather, and Zhu Xiaoyong had already climbed onto the high wall.

Seeing this scene, several hundred households felt relieved, knowing that today they must stick to their
They continued to gather their subordinates, and at this moment, the army of Prince Yong's Mansion had already appeared at the col in the south of Tianma Castle.

Chen Yuhe continued to move forward with the guards, while Xu Yu stopped and said to Cui Xing'an, "Cui Qianhu, your task is to lead your subordinates to guard this col!"

This mountain pass plus the middle official road, the narrowest place is only more than [-] meters.

Cui Xing'an has more than [-] soldiers under him, so it is not too difficult to defend this place.

Although it is not difficult, it also shows that there is still a certain degree of difficulty, so he must also pay attention to it.

After Xu Yu and others left, Cui Xing'an immediately arranged tasks for his subordinates.

One hundred households were responsible for digging trenches to reduce the passable area of ​​the col; one hundred households were responsible for cutting down trees, and they had to build some horses to defend against zombie attacks; the remaining one hundred households led the guard.

Following Cui Xing'an's order, the entire Aukou suddenly became busy, and the commotion began to attract zombies one after another.

At this time, the soldiers in charge of security must clean up these zombies in time, otherwise it will be a troublesome thing to gather too many.

Let's talk about Xu Yu and the two of them, they continued to move forward with their troops, and soon came to the outside of Tianma Castle.

At this moment, they were only about 50 meters away from the fort wall, just on the edge of the archer's range.

Chen Yuhe continued to go north with his people, he had to rush to the northern mountain pass as soon as possible to form an encirclement circle for Tianma Castle.

Xu Yu was not in such a hurry, he let the brigade continue to move forward, and he only brought a dozen people to stay.

"Listen, people inside, we are the army of Prince Yong's Mansion, you are already surrounded... Now leave the castle and surrender, the Palace will treat you well!"

Xu Yu began to persuade him to surrender. If he could win without a fight, that would be the best result.

Although this possibility is extremely low, Xu Yu still plans to give it a try.

Zhu Xiaoyong stood on the wall of the fort, looked at the officers and soldiers shouting in the distance, and said loudly: "Surrender? Just because you want me to surrender too? Just dream about it!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a playful sound on the wall of the fort, which also meant that Xu Yu's idea of ​​winning without a fight was bankrupt.

"That's why you are looking for death!" Xu Yu said with a gloomy face.

After saying this, Xu Yu immediately rode away, and the banter on the fort wall became even worse.

Soon, Xu Yu caught up with the large group of people, and they also chose the narrowest place, and then began to build fortifications without stopping.

Manpower is always available, so they want to use the environment as much as possible.

As a result, the north and south ends of Tianma Castle started construction at the same time, and a big pocket is about to be completed.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaoyong stood on the gate tower on the wall of Tianma Castle, looking at the situation in the north.

Although his expression was calm, there were officers and troops guarding both the north and the south, so it would be a lie to say that he was not in a panic.

"Did they say they want to trap us in the castle?" Zhu Xiaoyong expressed his judgment.

"Brother, we have food and drink here, so there is no need to be afraid of them!"

"I saw just now that the dry food they carry is only half a month's worth of food, and they will return it as soon as the food runs out!"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiaoyong interjected: "But what if they send people to replenish the food?"

"It's not easy. They have to go outside the fort to replenish food. Let's grab it for him!"

Nodding his head, Zhu Xiaoyong continued: "Although we have a lot of food, if we count the horses, we can't last long!"

"So, we also have to send troops out of the fort to harass and force them to withdraw as soon as possible!"

All the hundreds of households nodded. Although they didn't quite agree, they also knew that they should do something.

Looking to the north, the officers and soldiers were building fortifications, and Zhu Xiaoyong's heart was beating faster.

The north was their way of retreat, and now that the way of retreat was blocked, he felt intense anxiety in his heart.

This time I ran into a hard stubble, and it can be regarded as an experience for me... Zhu Xiaoyong secretly said in his heart.

Ming Wang Zhu Jinzhang sent him south to cultivate his ability to be independent.
