Chapter 489: Escape

Xiao Yao also knew that things would not be solved so easily.

The Turks will definitely come back against them again.

Xiao Yao commanded everyone to repair the city and prepare bows and arrows to prevent the second attack of the Turks.

Sure enough, the next day, the Turks continued their attack.

Xiao Yao controlled the Feiyun Sword, observing their formation, and said, "I think the real target of the Turks is our West City Gate. Let's focus on the West City Gate. ”

Zhang San said: "Okay, then let's prepare to defend at the West Gate." ”

Xiao Yao said: "Okay. Let's go to the west gate together. ”

Soon, everyone came to the West City Gate together.

Xiao Yao said: "You hide the machine guns first, and when they come closer, we will attack." ”

The Turks began to attack.

They first launched a fierce attack on the East City Gate, which made people think that the main direction of attack of the Turks was the East City Gate.

The defenders of the city fired fiercely at the besieging Turks with bows and arrows.

These besieging Turks did not have siege equipment at all, but with courage they charged, and a large number of Turks were shot down.

A small number of them came to the bottom of the city walls, trying to climb the walls, but to no avail.

The defenders burned the Turks with hot oil.

The Turks soon couldn't hold it anymore and hurriedly retreated.

After this charge was repulsed, the Turks could no longer hold on, and only launched sporadic attacks.

At the same moment, a large number of Turks suddenly appeared at the west gate, and they rushed towards the gate, trying to break through the gate.

Seeing that they had come to a distance of thirty meters, Xiao Yao shouted, "Shoot!"

Da-da-da-da!

Makqin machine guns launched an attack on the Turkic army.

Those Turkic troops had no idea that Xiao Yao would suddenly attack.

In an instant, those soldiers kept falling.

Even more terrible than death is that they die without knowing what is going on.

They knew that the weapon in front of them was a mysterious weapon, and they simply couldn't resist it.

Their morale soon crumbled and they retreated to the rear.

Heri Khan couldn't help but get angry when he saw the soldiers retreat.

He said, "You bunch of garbage are really useless. Give it to me. ”

But it didn't work.

The soldiers soon did not listen to Herri Khan at all.

This made Heri Khan a little helpless, so he had to withdraw his troops.

After this battle, they knew that the method of feint attack would not work.

And assault from all sides, they don't have this ability either.

What's more, although they seem to be outnumbered, they don't have many elite troops.

If they all die in the siege, it will be more than worth the loss.

Therefore, they did not dare to continue the attack, so they could only surround the city and think of another way.

Heri Khan gathered everyone together and said, "What shall we do now?"

King Youxian said: "I think we should not attack Dunhuang City, we can't attack it at all." ”

Herry Khan said: "Yes. If we continue to spend time here, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will attack. ”

King Youxian said: "Well, let's leave the army of Dunhuang City behind and attack Loulan City." If we can capture Loulan City, we will have a way. ”

Heri Khan said: "Okay, pass my order, prepare to retreat, and attack Loulan City." ”

King Youxian said: "We can't withdraw our troops openly, otherwise the defenders inside will attack us." ”

Heri Khan said, "Then what shall we do?"

"We can retreat at night, keeping the tent and a few soldiers guarding it, so that they don't know that we are retreating," said King Youxian. ”

Heri Khan said, "Good idea, that's it." ”

Khan Khan ordered the people to begin resting and prepare for a night retreat.

Xiao Yao watched the Turks retreat, and he said: "Now the Turks have no will to fight, if we can succeed in the raid at night, those Turks will definitely fail." ”

Zhang San said: "But is it too risky for us to attack the Turks?"

Xiao Yao said: "It's a bit big, but the problem is not very big. ”

Zhang San said, "Really?"

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Yes." I already know where the supplies of the Turks are. We attack their supply warehouse tonight, where the defenses are weak. Burn their supplies, and they won't work. ”

Li Si said: "Okay, then let's plan it." ”

At night, the Turkic army was preparing to pack up supplies and prepare for retreat.

Xiao Yao also led a team of soldiers at this time and rushed straight to the material warehouse.

Xiao Yao wielded the Feiyun Sword, taking the lead, and no one could stop him.

They rushed all the way to the material warehouse, and then a fire set the material warehouse on fire.

These soldiers couldn't imagine that Xiao Yao was so powerful, and they were all stunned.

A fire in a material warehouse is no small thing.

This is the lifeblood of this army.

Without supplies, how can we fight.

Heri Khan hurriedly commanded his soldiers to put out the fire, and sent the elite to attack Xiao Yao's army.

Xiao Yao didn't fight them hard, he led the soldiers and retreated towards the city gate.

The Turks were busy fighting fires at the moment, and they had no intention of fighting a decisive battle with Xiao Yao and others, so they quickly let Xiao Yao rush back to the city gate.

The fire in the warehouse burned until dawn.

Heri Khan couldn't help but feel very distressed when he looked at the charred grain all over the ground.

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first.

Their grain and grass have been burned, and this battle will be fought.

King Youxian said: "It's over, our supplies have been burned, even if we get to Loulan City, we don't have enough supplies to attack Loulan City." ”

Herry Khan said, "Then what are we going to do?"

King Youxian said: "I think we can only eat Dunhuang City now." Otherwise, we will die without a place to be buried. ”

Heri Khan said: "But we don't have engineering equipment, how can we attack the city?"

King Youxian said, "We can only shoot those Tang craftsmen to make instruments now. ”

Heri Khan said, "Okay, go and call in the chief of the craftsmen." ”

Soon, the head of the artisans was called in.

He arched his hand at Heri Khan and said, "Craftsman Li Cang pays a visit to the Khan. ”

Heri Khan said: "Li Cang, I order you to build siege equipment within three days. ”

Li Cang was a little embarrassed.

He said: "How can siege engines be so easy to make. Even if the raw materials are sufficient, it will take half a month to make them. What's more, this is a desert and lacks sufficient supplies. ”

Heri Khan said: "If we have to wait for half a month, I am afraid that we will all die." Don't even want to live. ”

Li Cang thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's make some improvised siege equipment." ”

Herry Khan said, "Okay, so be it. How many days do you want?"

Li Cang said: "It will take at least three days. We can make some improvised ladders and tackle them. ”

Heri Khan said, "Yes. We're going to make a simple ladder. ”

Li Cang said, "Well, let's prepare." ”

The Turks began to prepare to make ladders, and Xiao Yao also saw it by riding on the Feiyun Sword.

He knew that these ladders, if successful, would also be a great threat.

Because the Turks, after all, are outnumbered.

The risk of letting them attack hard is still very high.

He also gathered the crowd and said, "Guys, what do you think of the fact that the Turks have made improvised ladders and are ready to strike a fatal blow?"

Zhang San said: "We have to stop them. ”

Li Si said, "But how can we stop them?"

Wang Wu said, "Yes." They are making weapons in the barracks. Can we still rush in? ”

Zhang San said: "Didn't we rush over before?"

Xiao Yao said: "That's because the Turks are defenseless. I watched it this time, the Turks are heavily guarded, and it is not easy for us to burn them again. ”

Zhang San said, "Then what should we do?"

Li Si thought for a while and said, "We can also learn from their voices. ”

Xiao Yao said: "This plan is good. We can also make a feint for two days, and then on the third day we can launch a real night attack. ”

Wang Wu said: "I think we can modify a carriage and install a machine gun on it, so that we can take the machine gun to assault and enhance the effect." ”

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Okay, this method is wonderful." ”

In the next two days, Xiao Yao arranged for the soldiers to pretend to attack at night, and when the Turkic soldiers got up, everyone withdrew.

After tossing and turning like this for two days, on the evening of the third day, Xiao Yao first sent a team of troops to pretend to feint, and when the Turks got up, they withdrew.

This made the Turkic soldiers let their guard down.

They thought that the Loulan soldiers were not ready to attack, so they fell asleep.

After they all fell asleep, Xiao Yao led the army and launched a real attack. This time, the attack was so fast that everyone couldn't dodge it at all.

The wagons were also modified, equipped with Maxim machine guns, and set up to attack the Turkic camp.

Those Turks couldn't resist at all, so Xiao Yao and the others fought their way out.

Xiao Yao came to the built ladders, and the fire burned them.

Then they went back the way they came.

Heri Khan could only watch Xiao Yao and the others enter the city, and there was nothing he could do.

He gritted his teeth and said, "These Loulan people are too annoying. We must defeat them. ”

King Youxian said: "But now that there are no engineering equipment, how can we fight them?"

Khan said, "What do you think?"

King Youxian gritted his teeth and said, "We have no other way. Now there is only one way, set off lightly and enter the country of Dawan in the north. ”

Heri Khan said: "If we go north into the country of Dawan, we will have to pass through the uninhabited desert, and I am afraid there will not be enough supplies. ”

King Youxian said: "Therefore, we must abandon those who are useless and lead the elite north. ”

Herry Khan: "Our losses are great. ”

King Youxian said, "There is no way. Now if we don't break our wrists, then we just have to sacrifice our lives for righteousness. Khan, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood. ”

Herry Khan said, "All right, then let's get ready to go." ”

Heri Khan gathered all the strong men, gathered the only remaining supplies, and then said: "Warriors, now that the Tang Dynasty is approaching, Dunhuang City cannot be attacked. We now have only one way, and that is to go north to the Great Wan Kingdom. ”

"Are you willing to follow me and go north to Dawan together?"

The crowd shouted in unison, "Yes!"

Heri Khan said, "Okay, then let's go north to Dawan." ”

Heri Khan led his army and marched north, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled.

As soon as they left, they put up a white flag and said they wanted to surrender.

Xiao Yao watched them surrender and was not gullible.

He sent representatives of the Turks into the city and asked, "Why did you surrender?"

The representative said, "My name is Ashina Eagle. Khan Khan has abandoned us. ”

Xiao Yao said, "Oh, why did they abandon you?"

Ashina Ying said: "Because they can't fight anymore." If they don't forsake us, they will die. ”

Xiao Yao said: "That's it. ”

Ashina Ying said, "Yes. We must surrender now, or we will run out of food. ”

Xiao Yao said: "In this way, you didn't really surrender, but only surrendered because there was no food?"

Ashina Ying shook his head and said, "No, we sincerely surrendered. ”

Xiao Yao said: "Okay, if you really surrender sincerely, then put down your weapons like this." Then accept our adaptation. ”

Ashina Ying said, 'General, we can all serve you. ’

Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "No need. If you really surrender, you don't have to be soldiers anymore. We can develop things like that. ’

Ashina Ying said, "Okay. ”

Xiao Yao said: "Okay, you guys listen well. Once you surrender, are you unconditionally surrendering, at our disposal, knowing the massage?"

Ashina Ying said, "We know. ”

Xiao Yao said, "Okay, then let's go back first." You go and put the army in line, and surrender together in a small group of 100 people. ”

Ashina Ying said, "Okay. ”

At this time, the army of the Tang Dynasty also came.

When they saw the Turks who had surrendered, they couldn't help but be a little stunned.

They said, "These Turks have surrendered like this." ”

Ashina Ying said, "Yes. ”

Xiao Yao said: "Yes, Heri Khan abandoned them and ran away from his stomach. ”

Su Lie said, "What?

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Herry Khan said, "Then it's troublesome. If they don't kill Heri Khan, they will make a comeback. ”

Xiao Yao said, "Oh, what do you think?"

Su Lie said: "We must take advantage of the victory and pursue it. ”

Li Jing said: "Do you know how far away the Great Wan Kingdom is from us? That's two thousand skills." Do you have the logistics to go this far?"

Su Lie listened and had nothing to say.

He knew that if he wanted to cross the desert and channel the Great Wan Kingdom, it would be a very big price.

They simply can't afford to pay.

Xiao Yao said, "Could it be that we just watched Herry Khan run away?"
