Chapter Fifty-Eight: They Win
Yumen Pass in the Western Regions!
Take the time back to the day ago.
There are fewer and fewer Tianhan soldiers in Yumen Pass, and now there are only more than 30,000 left.
However, the imperial court still had no intention of supporting.
Or that the entire Tianhan Imperial Court is now in a mess, and there is no way to be distracted and support.
After the three princes ascended the throne and became emperors.
Reused his cousin He Tu and began to purge other factions.
Most of the ministers who did not support him in the DPRK were removed by He Tu on trumped-up charges.
Due to the large number of dead people and the large number of official positions waiting for vacancies, there were even some problems in the operation of the imperial court.
Therefore, more and more people oppose the three princes, and even bluntly say that He Tu is a traitor to the country of Tianhan.
The princes who escaped found their support one after another, and raised the banner of eliminating anti-thieves and restoring the Han dynasty in the local area.
However, He Tu had an army of 300,000, Luoyang was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and for a time, only many princes and literati in various places criticized and wrote, and no actual action was taken.
But even so, there was chaos in the entire Tianhan, the imperial court could not function for a while, and the army of the expedition to the west who was far away in Yumen Pass to resist Loulan was even cut off from the supply of grain and grass.
Although Chang Li had long known that Tianhan's luck was approaching, there might be chaos, but he didn't expect the chaos to be so fast.
He Tu thought that he was cutting the mess with a quick knife, but in fact, the mess was not cut off, but because of his fierce butcher knife, it caused a very serious backlash.
No matter which prince of Changli inherits the throne, as long as he repels Loulan and guards the Yumen Pass, so that the territory of Tianhan is kept intact, he can be chaotic as he wants? No matter how messy it is? In the end, it is also their Han business, but if Yumen Pass fails, it means that the foreigners have stepped into their arid territory.
But he thinks so, it doesn't mean that everyone thinks so, those princes who dance happily, and the stupid and incorrigible He Tu, think that Loulan is still a former barbarian, and they don't take it seriously at all.
All of them have their eyes on the people inside, and in their opinion, even if they lose some territory, they can be expelled as long as they rightfully inherit the position and settle down.
Tianhan has been peaceful for too long, so long that the prince does not eat minced meat, so long that he has a fart ability, and no one has become the king of Zhennan with an army of 300,000, so long that they have forgotten that the dry territory is bought by their ancestors with blood inch by inch.
Since the Luoyang Mutiny, Chang Li has scolded the three princes and He Tu more than once when discussing the military situation.
He even had the urge to lead the troops back, of course, he just shouted, it was impossible to really do that.
Because once that is done, then the Jade Gate Pass will be lost in an instant.
Changli was very angry, but fortunately, there was enough grain and grass in Yumen Pass, the city was strong, and the 30,000 army was guarding the city and could hold out for a long time.
Now he can only hope that this battle for the throne, which has become a mess, can end as soon as possible, and pray that no other accidents will happen.
It may be that Tianhan has been guarded by the gods for a thousand years, so this time the gods did not choose to stand on Changli's side.
His prayers were not heard.
Accidents still happened.
Loulan's siege of the city for several days was fruitless, and when she attacked again, Princess Loulan made a crazy decision.
He once again built a Loulan Iron City, and slammed into the Yumen Pass with the Loulan City that was made into a huge puppet.
The people of Loulan suffered numerous casualties.
But the Jade Gate Pass was also broken.
"Crazy woman, you crazy woman, Ye Luwan, what's the use of destroying the Jade Gate Pass even if you capture it?"
Chang Li, who was dressed in an embarrassed cloak, roared loudly.
No matter how strong he was, it would be impossible for him to stop the huge entire Loulan Iron City.
He didn't expect the other party to use such a reckless engineering method.
You must know that Loulan Iron City is the Loulan where they live, all the people, and Loulan Tiecheng is not a sharp weapon for attacking the city, but a country where Loulan soldiers and people live.
There were no soldiers in the ruined Loulan City who died tragically.
Princess Loulan, whose hair was flying with green silk, let out a crazy laugh.
Her heart was also dripping blood.
Of course, he knew that the price to pay for such a project to be captured in time would be too great.
But he had no choice, and Loulan was already out of water.
Even if there is only a wall of water, there is still an inexhaustible source of water in Yumen Pass, but Loulan City is a vast desert, and the people have no water to drink.
What's more, the animals that Loulan had already raised had already died, and even killing horses and drinking blood had become a kind of thirst.
All that can be drunk in the entire Loulan City is human blood.
It is impossible for Princess Loulan to let the soldiers and people in the city and her own compatriots blood, because then even if the Yumen Pass is captured, the survivors will eventually become a group of demons.
He had no choice but to lose to the death.
The city of Tianhan was built very strongly, and the city wall used by Yumen Pass as the border of the Western Regions was built even stronger.
She had sent huge golems, but she had left no trace of the walls.
He knew that this was the divine power used by Tianhan when he built the city wall of Yumen Pass, and he didn't know what divine power it was, it could be Lu Ban's divine power, or it could be the divine power of the public loser.
After all, Tianhan has a lot of divine power, and for so many years, he has only appeared in Loulan with divine power, but Tianqi has appeared with all kinds of divine power, not only killing enemies on the battlefield, but also similar to building.
She had no choice but to gamble.
Fortunately, she won the bet, and the wall she used to block the desert wind and sand was also built by him with divine power, and the Yumen Pass stood for 1,000 years, even if the person who used the divine power at the beginning was powerful, after 1,000 years, it was impossible to have no loss at all.
She won.
He won the gamble.
She also won this battle of divine power.
Although more than half of the Loulan Iron City was destroyed, the towering Yumen Pass city wall also collapsed after all.
The chaotic Yumen Pass, the people fled in all directions, and the soldiers were completely panicked.
Fortunately, those who can survive from the big station to today are veterans who have experienced the baptism of war, and under the organization of the generals, they quickly reacted and began to orderly camp their puppets that rushed down from Loulan City.
Chang Li knew that this jade gate pass could not be guarded at all.
He asked Li Ziming to organize soldiers to resist while protecting the people from retreating.
The Yumen Pass has been lost, and no more senseless sacrifices can be made.
Li Ziming wanted to ask, what about you?
But in the end, he still didn't ask, and the generals on the battlefield are obedience to orders.
Chang Li led his personal guards and desperately stopped Loulan, most of the puppets.
But even so, there were still many soldiers, as well as Loulan soldiers, who rushed into Yumen Pass.
Although the Yumen Pass was successfully broken, not many people in Loulan were happy.
On the contrary, everyone had a heaviness on their faces.
Princess Loulan took the prince of Loulan to meet Changli to end the war that lasted for more than two months.
The general of the Heavenly Khan's expedition to the west also greeted him without hesitation.
He knew that if he didn't leave now, he might not be able to leave again, but as the general of the expedition to the west, he had to let all his soldiers and the people in the city retreat before leaving, even if it would cost him his own life for it.
Loulan became a mess of porridge, Lu Wenhou was busy killing people, and in the two months after awakening, his strength became more and more terrifying, and only the man in black who suddenly appeared on the battlefield could stop him, but only to stop him.
"Don't kill it, go find Yin Yin and her mother."
Liu Wang slashed to death with a sword and shouted at Lu Wenhou as the Loulan soldier who pounced on him shouted.
When Lu Wenhou heard this, the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand swept away the surrounding puppets in an instant, clearing out an open space.
"Let's go!"
Lu Wenhou took the lead.
Yin Yin and Widow Sun are still in Loulan City, at this time Loulan City is broken, it will definitely encounter twists and turns, he has not forgotten what Xiang Xiaoer told the two of them, the new house of Loulan City is destined to be lost, so naturally he has to defend Yin Yin and her mother first.
The two of them ran wildly all the way to Sun's rouge shop, believing that such a chaotic orphan and widow outside would definitely not run around.
Lu Wenhou was so strong that any Loulan puppets and soldiers who stood in front of him were dealt with with one move.
However, the two who were so in the limelight naturally attracted the attention of others.
"Lord Black Robe, stop Lu Wenhou quickly."
One of Loulan's generals spoke.
The black-clothed man in Dongying, who had appeared in Loulan City, smiled coldly and stopped Lu Wenhou in an instant.
Lu Wenhou's face was ugly.
In the past on the battlefield, it was this person who stopped him every time.
The other party's divine power is quite strange, although the strength is not enough, himself, but he can entangle himself.
"Fuck off, I don't have time to waste with you."
Lu Wenhou waved the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand and roared.
The man in black in Dongying let out a cold laugh:
"That's not good, how can I let you continue to hurt our Loulan soldiers."
Lu Wenhou's strength was fully opened, and there were dragons and tigers roaring on his body.
"You go first, I'll kill him, and I'll go to you right away."
At present, the army is in chaos, Yin Yin's mother and daughter are powerless, Lu Wenhou is naturally very worried, and the next time Fang Tian's halberd opens a road, he will shout to Liu Wang.
Liu Wang glanced at the man in black who was entangled with Lu Wenhou, and did not hesitate to take a step first.
"Okay."
"Seeing that you are in such a hurry, is there anyone you care about in this city?"
The man in black let out a sinister laugh.
Lu Wenhou's face was very ugly, and he made up his mind without saying a word, and he must solve the other party as soon as possible.
After all, Liu Wang is a prince, and he has been taught by excellent teachers since he was a child, although his martial arts are not as good as those generals, but he is not that ordinary puppet, and ordinary soldiers in Loulan can stop him.
Soon killed the Sun family's rouge shop.
At this time, the people on the street were already in chaos, and Liu Wang's eyes swept and found that the door of Sun's rouge shop was actually open.
When the color sank, he hurriedly rushed in and shouted.
"Yinyin, the proprietress of the proprietress of the proprietress Yin."
No reply.
Liu Wang's face was very ugly, this was the worst situation.
Rushing into the house to find no one, he hurriedly ran out of the door, swept the street, and then followed the crowd in the direction of the city.
Shouting as you walked along the way.
But there were too many people fleeing, the shouting and crying on the street were connected, the people were even denser, and even from time to time there were puppets controlled by Loulan to attack the people, and King Liu's heart became more and more anxious.
has lived together for more than two months, usually Yin Yin and Widow Sun take good care of him, and strictly speaking, the two of them have saved his life respectively, so they naturally don't want to have an accident with the two, so they are very anxious at this time.
Liu Wang watched the six roads and shouted as he walked.
Suddenly, a crying sound came into his ears, and when he looked at it, he saw that Widow Sun was kneeling on the ground at this time, stretching out her hand and shouting in front of her.
In front of him, a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks was hugging Yin Yin, who was also crying.
Liu Wang was immediately furious, and he could guess what the situation was without asking him, so he rushed forward with the sword in his hand.
The man hugged Yin Yin and wanted to run, but there were too many people and he ran slower for a while.
Liu Wang was carrying a sword, exuding a murderous aura all over his body, and the people around him subconsciously avoided it, so he quickly caught up with the other party.
Grab the other person's arm.
"Which one doesn't open your eyes?"
The man turned around angrily and asked, but the exile didn't answer him at all, and raised his hand with a sword.
The man fell down with trembling hands, but he didn't expect the other party to kill someone without saying a word.
Liu Wang didn't bother to pay attention to him, took away the hand of the man who was already dead, picked Yin Yin up from the other party's arms, and comforted him softly.
"It's okay, it's okay, uncle is here, uncle is here."
Originally, he didn't want to kill people in front of Yin Yin, but now that time is too urgent, he has no time to waste with the other party.
Holding Yin Yin, he quickly turned around and went back to find Widow Sun.
Before, Widow Sun also got up from the ground, chased after him and saw him, and hurriedly greeted him at this time.
I wanted to catch Yin Yin, who was crying, from King Liu's arms to comfort her, but was stopped by him.
"This place is not a place to stay for a long time, it's inconvenient for you to hold Yinyin, I'll hold Yinyin and follow me quickly."
King Liu didn't care about anything else, put the long sword in his hand into the scabbard that was about to enter his waist, and pulled the widow's hand to squeeze the crowd and walked out.
Widow Sun wiped her tears with her other hand, and knew the priorities, so she didn't struggle, and followed the other party out.
Yin Yin and Widow Sun didn't take anything, the three of them had nothing, plus King Liu was strong and strong, and soon squeezed out of the city, and the battle at Yumen Pass behind him was still going on, King Liu had the heart to wait for Lu Wenhou, but looking at the chasing Loulan soldiers and puppets, and then glanced at Yin Yin and Widow Sun, he had no choice but to take the two of them to the interior of Tianhan.
……
The Yumen Pass was completely lost.
After being entangled with the man in black for a while, Lu Wenhou suddenly broke out and stabbed him, and then did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and hurriedly ran to Sun's rouge shop.
But at this time, Liu Wang and the others had already left, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he could only run out of the city.
Along the way, he slashed and killed countless Loulan puppets, although his body was not tired, but he was extremely anxious in his heart.
Along the way, he played six roads, but he found no trace of the three.
At this time, Li Ziming also gathered the remnants and retreated outside the city gate.
Soon ran into Lu Wenhou, and in the face of Li Ziming's request for help, Lu Wenhou couldn't be indifferent, so he had to step forward to help.
Fortunately, after he joined, the speed of cleaning up the puppets was faster, and soon the army rushed out of the city with the people.
However, Lu Wenhou's face became more and more ugly, because he did not find three people among these people.
He could only pray that the three of them had already rushed out of the city on their own.
At this time, there was no time to think about it, and followed the army to withdraw to the interior of Tianhan.
At this moment, the entire Yumen Pass has been completely lost, leaving only the people who have not escaped and the soldiers who are still holding on, as well as Changli who is fighting to the death.
"Changli, surrender, the Yumen Pass has been broken, if you surrender, I can spare your life, you also know, my Loulan was also forced, I don't want to fight you to the end."
Princess Loulan looked at Chang Li, who was covered in blood and spoke.
The black-clothed man in Dongying, who heard this not far away, frowned unconsciously.
Loulan, who is not in harmony with the Heavenly Khan Dead River, is not a good Loulan.
He came to help Loulan just to use Loulan's power to weaken Tianhan's strength as much as possible, after all, the millennium is not just talking.
Looking at the Loulan soldiers who surrounded themselves in a group, and the puppets floating in the sky, Chang Li, who had always been extremely angry, suddenly became extremely calm, and even raised his head and grinned in the face of impending death:
"Surrender? Dead? You deserve it too! ”
The generals of the Tianhan Dynasty fought to the death and did not surrender.
Princess Loulan did not persuade her, and with a wave of her hand, the Loulan soldiers and puppets all rushed forward, drowning Changli, who had exhausted his physical strength, in an instant.
Loulan finally won the Yumen Pass.
There was no cheering from the Loulan soldiers, and everyone's faces were lifeless.
The cost of this war was too heavy, and Loulan paid for countless lives.
They slaughtered the people and soldiers of this Tianhan Dynasty, regardless of men, women, old and children, as long as they found those who did not escape, it was a dead end.
It has nothing to do with justice, it is a war between peoples, and the winner has the right to execute the worshippers.
Princess Loulan also did not stop the cruel behavior of her soldiers, because she knew that they needed to vent, and Loulan also needed to vent.
However, even with this kind of venting, the Loulan soldiers did not show a smile on their faces.
Slaughter does not bring joy.
But~
"Ah, water, it's water, it's clean water!"
A Loulan soldier brought a bucket of water from the well, and his expressionless face suddenly burst into a smile, and then shouted excitedly.
The shouts gathered the attention of all the Loulan soldiers, and a steady stream of Loulan people walked out of the Loulan field.
Everyone rushed up to the soldiers, then their trembling hands touched the bucket of water.
But when he looked at the blood on his hands, he instantly took it back and swallowed a mouthful of spit.
Everyone looked at the water in amazement, then at the mouth of the well, and then the others scattered as if they had thought of something, looking for one well after another.
"Water!"
"There's water here, too."
"Good clean water, so sweet water."
"Water, Mom, we've got water to drink."
"Water, a lot of water!"
The people and soldiers of Loulan shouted, happy smiles on their faces, followed by bursts of crying.
"Dad, we have closed the jade gate, we have water to drink, and we don't have to worry about someone dying of thirst anymore."
"We have water to drink."
On this day, Loulan broke through the Jade Gate Pass of the thousand-year-old Tianhan.
However, the victorious Loulan did not show a smile, and the cries of the people of Loulan resounded in the kidney deficiency of the entire Yumen Pass.
This battle for survival, they won!
Just, for the time being!
