Chapter 543 The Calamity of Loulan
Another quarter of an hour later, Nie Ze led his guards to the west wall.
He came to Xie Xing and asked,
"What's the situation now?"
"Meet Nie Shuai, the enemy army did not attack the city, but chose to bypass the Yumen Pass, there are enemy troops in the north and south."
Xie Xing pointed to the city wall and said.
At this time, the enemy's 10,000+ army has all run over, and only a small number of troops have not bypassed the Yumen Pass, which is just a tail.
"There is no siege."
Nie Ze breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little dazed when he was woken up in the middle of his sleep, but he recovered after a while.
"The enemy is trying to surround us?"
"It should be. They may want to cut off our logistical supplies to besiege us."
Until now, Xie Xing and Nie Ze hadn't thought about the enemy's true intentions, and still thought that the enemy was going to surround them.
This is their habitual way of thinking. When encountering enemy troops besieging the city, they subconsciously think that the enemy army is going to besiege the city. After all, years of experience in Yumen Pass garrisoning them has formed a fixed thinking, that is, as long as Yumen Pass is still there, the enemy troops will You can't go to the rear, because the Yumen Pass defenders will cut off the opponent's supplies and make dumplings for the enemy's army.
So I didn't think about it at all.
Thinking that the other party was going to besiege the city, the two of them became more relaxed, thinking that the other party was seeking their own death.
At this moment, a soldier ran over quickly and said loudly,
"Sailor Nie, Zhao Long, the commander of the Zhenbei Army, has assembled the Zhenbei Army and is going out of the city to hunt down the enemy. At this time, he must have already killed them through the east gate."
Hearing this, Nie Ze's face suddenly darkened, and he said angrily,
"This Zhao Long, why didn't he obey the military order, and went out to fight late at night, what if the enemy army ambushed him, what a reckless man!"
The soldier swallowed hard, and said cautiously,
"Marshal, Zhao Shuai asked the villain to help you with a sentence."
"what did he say?!"
Nie Ze stared angrily.
"He said that the enemy army still has a fart of logistics supplies. The enemy army is going to penetrate directly into the hinterland of our country and cause chaos in the rear!"
"What? What do you mean? The enemy is going straight into the hinterland? Are they looking for death? Are they not afraid that we will trap them inside our country? Are they afraid that their food supply will be cut off..."
Speaking of this, Nie Ze suddenly swallowed a dead fly, stuck his throat out and widened his eyes, which were full of horror.
Xie Xing focused his eyes and said quickly,
"Nie Shuai, what Zhao Long said is right, the enemy army still has a fart of logistics supplies, what are they afraid of being blocked in our country.
For them, waiting here is starving to death. Entering the interior of our country, at least they can loot the supplies of the people, live a few more days, and kill more people in our country to vent their anger. "
Nie Ze naturally thought of this too, with a gloomy face, he gritted his teeth and said,
"Okay, these people know that they must die, and they will definitely intensify the massacre of our people to take revenge.
The two counties to the east are both fiefdoms of the Marquis of Zhenbei, with a combined population of over one million. Even if the city is not counted, there are hundreds of thousands of peasant households outside the city. If they rush in..."
Nie Ze and Xie Xing shuddered together.
If it is an ordinary war, the enemy army enters and loots. Generally, there are very few massacres of the people, and they all rob the supplies and leave.
But the situation is different now. These hungry and crazy enemy soldiers, knowing that they will surely die, will inevitably massacre the people in order to retaliate.
Killing one is enough money, killing two blood earns.
The people are not all young and strong. They are defenseless in front of these young and strong troops like wolves and tigers. They have no power to fight back.
"Beat the drum, gather the army!"
Nie Ze shouted loudly.
On the top of the city, the soldiers immediately beat the military drum vigorously, and the dull sound of the military drum rang out in the silent night in Yumen Pass.
Soon, the defenders mobilized together. At this time, there were no shadows of the enemy around Yumen Pass. They had all gone around Yumen Pass and rushed to the east.
Nie Ze's order was to gather the entire army, and the fast-paced drumming naturally attracted the attention of those powerful people in the city.
Han Yun didn't sleep at all. After hearing the sound of the drum, he immediately got up and left Zhenbeihou's Mansion, and flew towards the west wall.
"what happened?"
Han Yun came to the city wall, saw Nie Ze, and immediately asked straight to the point.
Nie Ze quickly explained the situation, and Han Yun's expression changed suddenly.
"Master Hou, Zhao Long has led the Zhenbei Army to chase him out of the city..."
Before Nie Ze finished speaking, Han Yun immediately said,
"That's not enough. Send out all the cavalry in the city to hunt down the enemy. In addition, after the Qi family elders come over, as well as the three elders of the Tianshi Mansion and Pan Dengyan, let them rush to the east as much as possible. of chasing down the enemy.
The infantry in the city should gather first, but don’t go out of the city. The enemy country still has [-] Hami troops. If the Hami army takes the opportunity to chase down our cavalry, immediately use the infantry to go out of the city and destroy them. "
"it is good."
After Han Yun finished explaining, he immediately got up and flew towards the east. He couldn't just watch the people of Dachuan die in the hands of the enemy army for no reason.
However, it was already too late.
The enemy's army ran all over the mountains and plains, stretching for dozens of miles, without any formation at all. Everyone had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to rush to the east as fast as possible, where there was food.
Yumenguan is surrounded by deserts, but tens of miles to the east, there are mountainous farmlands bordering the desert, not all of them are deserts.
There are also many farmers, hunters, and herdsmen.
Because of the terrain, the people here are not as concentrated as in the Central Plains. The houses in the village are scattered, and scattered houses and residents can be seen everywhere.
But this also brought great difficulties to the defense work, and it was impossible to quickly gather villagers for defense.
The first batch of Loulan troops to set off had already arrived in these villages at dawn.
When those people saw the food hoarded in those farmers' homes, and the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep raised in the yard, their eyes turned red in an instant, and they raised their butcher knives and killed those farmers without caring about their fatigue.
In an instant, screams and wailing were heard everywhere, and the quiet small village became a purgatory on earth.
The cavalry of the Zhenbei Army failed to catch up with them, because the Zhenbei Army had already caught up with the army behind the enemy and started killing.
The Loulan army who came behind saw that the nearest farmhouse had been occupied by friendly troops, so they continued to run towards the hinterland to the east.
Instead of robbing friendly troops and breaking out conflicts, it is better to rob those unarmed civilians of the enemy country.
These 10,000+ people scattered all over the sky, scattered everywhere, and rushed into the homes of ordinary people with a radius of hundreds of miles.
On this day, hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured in the west of Dachuan, and the loss was heavy. It is called in the history books,
"The Calamity of Loulan"! ! !
He came to Xie Xing and asked,
"What's the situation now?"
"Meet Nie Shuai, the enemy army did not attack the city, but chose to bypass the Yumen Pass, there are enemy troops in the north and south."
