Chapter 491: The Roar of War
Manba's breathing was very short, and he was in a hurry.
When the first snow falls, it is very bad for the war and the march, and it will soon create a situation where the snow is blocked and the battle is almost impossible. Because even the horses of Western Xia have a limited degree of adaptation to the cold.
"According to the intelligence, Zhuo Luolan's slut has already marched to the Nanzong region, but instead of going south, she has moved north for hundreds of miles, what does she want to do, do she want to go home from the front line of the Ancient Bone Dragon City and want to be a deserter!"
Marching in the heavy snow is very bad for the morale of the army, but Manba is still urging quickly. It is necessary to take advantage of the current withdrawal of the guerrillas in the west to take Xining Prefecture as a cold shelter as soon as possible, and if the group of untouchables in Xining Prefecture do not cooperate and do not surrender to this, Manba does not mind killing a group.
Zoloran that bitch, you wait for Lao Tzu!
While advancing quickly, he thought viciously: In addition to violating the military order and crossing the water as a deserter, the girl who didn't know how to lift up lost the battle of Minhe and Tonghuang, and nearly 4,000 people were annihilated by Wang Yan. The military heart of the Western Xia Expeditionary Force can be said to be completely destroyed in the hands of that girl.
Since the Western Xia army marched into Hehuang, almost all the defeats were fought by her, except for the victory of Dong Yu at the Huangshui fork, she later said that her surname was "send" and not "scared".
Manba was also psychologically self-critical: at that time, seeing her good looks, their clan won the Jedi counterattack of Helan Mountain back then, and her prestige was high, so Manba thought that she was too merciful and didn't have the heart to rape her first and then kill her at the first time.
So now there is a merciful bitter fruit: after countless defeats, the scourge woman pulled the remaining 20,000 main forces north, and it seemed that they wanted to run back to their hometown to spend the winter?
Wori is so at ease that she wants to leave her allies behind?
"After taking Xining Prefecture and finally defeating Wang Yan, sooner or later I will break her entire clan into pieces!" Baa rode on his horse and muttered to himself.
"Swear to follow the side of the great general Qingjun! But the top priority is that the city of Xining Prefecture in front of you is already in sight, they don't seem to have fortifications, they don't even close the city gate, and they don't know what it means? The subordinates around him hurriedly said.
This situation is a little different from what Man Baa thought, so he was very displeased.
It feels like this is a trap, referring to the fact that the Zhuo Luolan tribe had already marched to Nanzong at that time, but did not go south to continue to besiege Wang Yan's department, but instead pulled the team north to make way of the opening, causing many Hehuang untouchables and guerrillas to intersperse with the Song army.
Living here, Manba thinks that Zhuo Luolan is afraid that she has a fart deal with Wang Yan, and even they are old lovers, Wang Yan is afraid that she will sleep at the border before she sleeps with the Queen Mother of Western Xia.
"I'm afraid there will be fraud in the city defense, so be vigilant for me!" As he pondered, he gave the order.
In fact, the people of Xining Prefecture have long been cowardly. At the beginning, the guerrillas broke through the siege, and those who did not want to be "slaves of the country" flew separately when disaster came, and most of them left here. Those who were willing to stay were relatively mild, and thought that they were no longer protecting their people.
So they knew that the Western Xia army would come sooner or later, and in view of Manba's heavy murderous nature, the people who stayed in Xining Prefecture now did not dare to provoke him, so they opened the city gate from beginning to end, and each family participated, and gathered a considerable part of the grain and piled it up on the streets of the city.
In addition, they were afraid that men would pull hatred, so this time they specially sent a woman with a little girl and two of them, holding silk hangers, trying to hang the silk representing respect around the neck of the Western Xia general.
In the heavy snow, chattering to each other, the woman and the little girl approached closely, and in view of the language barrier, they were shot by the bleating Iron Harrier guard with a divine arm bow!
The snow became heavier and heavier, and the two women, one big and one small, were pierced by arrows and fell into the snow, and the blood light slowly spread, and the blood red and snow white were extremely distinct.
A subordinate general couldn't bear it a little and turned his head away. But no one dared to say more.
Man Baa actually felt that something was wrong, but his personal guard Iron Harrier was righteous, and he couldn't deny his brother's actions at this critical moment.
So Man's gaze became indifferent again, and he pointed to the corpse and said: "Be careful of these untouchables, be careful of the evil voodoo power spread by the Sea of Stars, King Ming said that if you are not careful, you will lose your life." ”
All the Western Xia troops couldn't help but look at each other.
Frightened by this sudden change, the people three hundred paces away were busy closing the city gates.
"Sure enough, there is a deception, start a raid, you can't let them close the city gates!"
Man Baa had no choice but to issue a general attack order, and since then the bloodshed in Xining Prefecture has officially begun, covered by the divine arm bow shot, shooting the people who closed the city gate, followed by the Xixia cavalry pouring into the city like a tide.
The frightened and helpless people were caught in the chaos, running everywhere and crying everywhere.
As soon as the so-called battle began, their movements, flights, and shouts were all regarded as a threat by some inexperienced Western Xia soldiers, and the manba was not controlled in time, and once the slaughter began, it could not be stopped.
This in turn led to some even cowardly men trying to fight back to save themselves, further causing local conflicts.
Worried that this was a trap under the guerrilla tactics, and it would be difficult to control it at this point, he sighed and said, "This is war!" Pass on my generals, the Tubo people will not seal the knife until they stop resisting! ”
A woman ran and cried while carrying her daughter in the snow, and tripped over the corpse.
But the youngest daughter was frightened and ignorant, so she began to cry. This seemingly insignificant voice in the war was heard by a passing Tangut warrior, who immediately stabbed him from his horse, and the woman and the little girl were pierced together and died.
The spears in their shoes were left on the spot, and the red-eyed Tangut soldier drew his waist knife and continued to ride towards the place where there was a sound and a person.
Everyone lost themselves together in the flames of war, and this is the roar from war. People or animals hurt each other because: they don't understand, they are afraid......
Since the Western Xia Expeditionary Force invaded Hehuang, Zhuo Luolan's suggestion was not taken once, and Manba has been implementing the bloody three-light policy.
As of mid-November, the preliminary estimate of civilians killed in the fighting, not counting the fighting troops, was more than 250,000.
But that's not the main thing, at the end of November, Manba caused the biggest bloody time, which began to spread throughout the region, known as the "Tay Ninh State Massacre".
In Zhuo Luolan's opinion, there was no longer a single soldier in the city of Xining Prefecture, but not only did he not relent, but he still slaughtered more than 35,000 people in two days of "street fighting" in the most unfavorable situation for Western Xia.
The people who stayed in Xining Prefecture were almost empty.
People make mistakes because they are ignorant and unconscious.
At this point, Zhuo Luolan knew the Absolute Pill.
Manba was instigated by King Ming to go on the expedition on behalf of the Western Xia Emperor, which was not loyalty, but completely ruined the image of the Western Xia and completely ruined the prestige of the little emperor. At this point, it can be basically determined: as long as the Empress Dowager is still alive, the little emperor's pro-government is basically hopeless.
Maybe Manba has that ruthlessness, and he can go back to Xingqing Mansion to bring the iron harrier to help the little emperor kill the Wuqiang clan. But his ruthlessness was used in the wrong place, and after the Xining Prefecture Massacre, it was impossible for Zhuo Luolan to return to Western Xia. As long as there are interests, Wang Yan may choose to negotiate, but at this point, there will be no room for negotiation, and no matter how much the price is, it will be wiped out!
Without a man, the remaining two thousand iron harriers in Xingqing Mansion will listen to the Queen Mother. And more than 10,000 guards only listened to the Taishi and did not slander Pang.
King Ming's prestige was hit hard by the Chengtian Temple and the Shenji Yan Seminar, and from the perspective of Buddhism, the Empress Dowager Wuzang, who was also one of the masters herself, was now no less prestigious in religion than that of King Ming.
At this point, it can be announced that King Ming, who supported the little emperor's pro-government, has basically been abolished. Old monk, he only has a few masters of the Chengtian Temple system available.
But listening to the intelligence a while ago, under the instructions of the gods, and because Tongtian Sect has always been the sworn enemy of Chengtian Temple, Cao Qing took Lu Chunyang to sit down and the five masters entered Xingqing Mansion. It seems to be a third-party force, but it actually crushed King Ming to death, and he couldn't move.
The Taoist Tongtian Sect has not officially declared war on Chengtian Temple, but no matter where King Ming goes, Cao Qing follows him like a shadow. The process did not violate the laws of Xingqingfu.
In the matter of preventing the little emperor of the Western Xia, Xiangye and Shenji Yan were the default political allies, so Cao Qing's Taoist master group with a letter of introduction from Wang Yan was protected by Wu Zang, and no army in the Western Xia could interfere with the "personal grievances" of their religious friends and Chengtian Temple.
In the fiasco of the north bank of Huangshui, the Minhe region and the Tonghuang region, it is said that there was a "fire dragon" from the Song Kingdom to help the battle, which was fierce and fierce.
Based on all of the above news, Zhuo Luolan, who was in the southern sect and marching to the north, didn't think much about it, the defeat of the Western Xia expeditionary force was not far away, and this had become a war cemetery that was impossible to win.
Now, Zoloran's last hope is to bring his brothers home in this winter.
"Ancient Bone Dragon City has arrived!"
The main force of the Zhuo Luolan tribe marched in the snow, and cheered when they saw the Ancient Bone Dragon City, it was safe from here, and it was not far from the way home.
There is no one in the Ancient Bone Dragon City now, so maybe there are one or two groups of horse thieves hiding in this three-way city to make a fortune, right?
Because this area is also considered the Golden Triangle, it is similar to the nature of the three mountains and seven villages that Wang Yan exterminated at that time. It was a disputed area between Western Xia and Tibet, and in peacetime it tacitly withdrew from the buffer zone.
So technically speaking, now Zhuo Luolan is still not considered "out of the battlefield", not a deserter, only a tactical maneuver.
Zhuo Luolan's desire to go home was quite strong, and he ordered not to stop his horse and continue to march back to the territory of Western Xia.
However, she was not afraid, and her generals were afraid, so a group rushed over and put Zoloran under house arrest, and ordered the army to stop advancing.
"What do you want to do...... Let me out! ”
But the subordinates didn't listen. Everyone wants to wait for the reply of Master Wuzang in the end, so that there can be an explanation. Otherwise, if he left the battlefield like this and went back, Zhuo Luolan would definitely be a capital crime......
