It may be that the Mongolian army has not yet noticed that the silence outside the city just complements the desolate wilderness. Many of the people who went out of the city were also in a hurry, and did not dare to make a loud noise.

When I walked farther away, there was no reflection of the torches, and the light dimmed. But fortunately, the moonlight is still clear, and even if it is not real, the vague outline is vaguely recognizable.

However, many people suffer from night blindness, so for them, the silver moonlight does not illuminate their path. But in order to avoid being discovered by the Mongolian army, they did not dare to light the torch. Under the leadership of a small number of people who did not have night blindness, they quickly moved away from Liangzhou City.

When he stepped on the hill ten miles south of the city, the deafening shouting of killing suddenly came. But it was the Mongol army who found someone out of the city and killed them.

"Kill! Kill! Although they were separated by several miles, they could still be heard clearly. Li Dahai immediately glanced back. I saw that outside the city of Liangzhou, the galloping Mongolian army and the Xia army out of the city were entangled like two fierce beasts.

Some of the people who had just left the city were like reefs in a flood. In the blink of an eye, it was overwhelmed.

Li Dahai took a breath with some fear, and hurriedly sped up.

Before dawn, the Xia army was all defeated. The crown prince Li Chengzhen got Gao Yi's help and desperately dragged the Mongolian army. thus led a thousand elite soldiers and successfully got rid of the entanglement of the Mongolian army. But Gao Yi himself, along with nearly 50,000 Xia troops, was wiped out.

However, the Xia army who was killed on the spot was less than 10,000. Most of them, taking advantage of the cover of night, fled to the wilderness. And because of the desperate resistance of the Xia army, the Mongolian army also suffered more than 6,000 casualties. Genghis Khan, the commander of the Mongol army, was so angry that he ordered the city to be slaughtered.

As a result, the people in the city who had not fled became the souls of the Mongolian army.

Then the Mongolian army rushed to Yingli (Zhongwei) non-stop. After only holding on for two days, the Mongolian army dug the Yellow River embankment and diverted water to irrigate. As a result, the city was broken, and most of the people were killed and wounded. Those who survived were also driven north by the Mongolian army like cattle.

In order to encircle Zhongxing Mansion as soon as possible, the Mongol army then passed through Xiping Mansion, Shunzhou, Jingzhou, and Huaizhou without entering. Smoothly allied with the Mongolian army in the north outside Zhongxing Mansion.

Although this made the Mongolian army imposing, Zhongxingfu, as the capital of the Xia Kingdom, had high and thick walls. Even though the Mongol army attacked fiercely, it failed to take Zhongxingfu. Moreover, the city has long been stocked with enough grain and grass, so it is difficult for the Mongol army to drive the city to surrender by besieging the city.

Just when they were at a stalemate, they returned to the city of Hechang Bara (Changji). A group of camel merchants from the west came to this place in a leisurely manner.

Because it is the northern route of the Silk Road, Changbala prospered because of business.

Even after the war, after stabilizing the war, Changbala still attracted merchants from the north and south to buy and sell goods here in a very short period of time. Now under the rule of Huihe, although Changbala is not as prosperous as it was in the Tang Dynasty. But they also built walls, and built a small city with a circumference of twenty miles. On weekdays, there are about 200 households living in the city. and sent a magistrate to take charge of the collection of taxes and security in the area.

In the spring and summer, the number of people who buy and sell here exceeds 10,000. Tents stretched for miles outside the city.

It's just that at this time, Chang Ba Ra has completely lost the scene of the past. Except for the crumbling city walls, there is only lush barren grass. If you get closer, you can see a few ruins standing in the city. In that way, it seems to show the prosperity of the past.

"Sir! Settle here today! Those in the wilderness are afraid of being remembered by tigers, leopards and jackals again. Li Sihou said in front of Li Dahai. Since escaping from Liangzhou City, he followed Li Dahai to Zhuoluo City in the south.

It was the most difficult city in the Xia State on the border, with a garrison of 60,000 troops, under the control of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division. Adjacent to the Linzhao Road of the Jin Kingdom, there are many Tibetan tribes in the territory. Affected by the westward invasion of the Mongolian army, 50,000 local garrisons were transferred.

The remaining 10,000 troops will also be assigned to garrison Xining Prefecture to the west of Zhuoluo City. There are more Tibetans there. And with the Mongol army invading the territory of the Xia Kingdom, the local Tubo tribes were even more restless.

Therefore, the area around Zhuoluo City is not very stable. When they first went there, they were raided by the Tibetan tribes. Fortunately, there are many of them, and they all have good kung fu. Otherwise, they will definitely be plagued by the Tibetan people.

Later, after staying for nearly a month, I saw that the Mongolian army did not lead the troops south. He followed Li Dahai again and went north again.

Because it is a return, you only need to pay a lot of money along the way, and you can easily pass the Mongolian checkpoints in Liang, Gansu, Su, Gua and other prefectures. and bought some dry food, BMWs, salt cubes, antiques and some rare items looted by the Mongol army from the Xia people.

A few sturdy Xia prisoners were also bought to protect the caravan.

Along the way, the land of the four states was completely ruined. Many of the defeated Xia soldiers fell into the grass and plundered the Mongols and caravans along the way. Although they unfortunately bumped into each other several times, they were finally saved by the fact that they were overwhelmed by the large number of people and given money to buy the road.

In such a hurry, it took nearly two months to enter the Changbala territory to the west of Huihe.

"Hmmm! Go down and arrange it! Li Dahai listened, and casually ordered.

Li Si led a few strong men to carve out a clearing in the corner of the wall. And let a Hui crane guide who is familiar with this place lead a few strong men to the nearby river to get some fresh water. At the same time, let the Xia Guo guards who bought it inspect the surrounding places.

A woman with a child on her back prepares the ingredients and begins to cook for herself. She was picked up by Li Dahai in Liangzhou City! Because all his family members were killed, he was helpless. followed Li Dahai and was taken in.

Quiet but good cook. The food on the road is basically from her. In fact, Li Dahai didn't want to take her with him, and when he was in Zhuoluo City, he also gave her some coiling and let her stay in the local area.

But the woman insisted on following, and Li Dahai went with her. The women who slept on the road gritted their teeth and survived, just like the big men of them. made Li Dahai and others a little impressed.

After eating and drinking, Li Si arranged for people to take turns on duty. Li Dahai, who is the shopkeeper, rests comfortably in the tent.

But in the evening, a scream suddenly exploded in my ears like thunder. Li Dahai, who slept very lightly, was immediately awakened. It is also in the wilderness, and it is necessary to be vigilant enough. So when he slept, he didn't dare to sleep too deeply.

hurriedly ran outside the tent, and saw several Xia State guards carrying him. When I looked closer, I found that they were all solemn. If you follow their line of sight, you can see that in the darkness in the distance, a pair of green eyes are constantly appearing.

"Wolves! It's a wolf! The caravan guards who had just come out of the tent looked at it and swallowed their saliva.
