Although Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, did not tell Toulon Taiming where he was going to retreat, the current situation, like the lice on the head of a bald man, was completely obvious.

Now that the battalions under the command of King Chuang in Pingliang City have reached an agreement, the deliberations in King Chuang's mansion that morning will soon be over.

Gao Yingxiang did not make a strong request to him for the local snake Tuluntai in Pingliang City, not because he had to abandon the city with the brigade that broke into the camp, but told him:

"On that day, Gao went west to Ganliang, and many local brothers took him in, and gave way to Pingliang City! Now that Gao is blessed, he has decided to leave, and Pingliang City will return it to his brother.

"As for where the local brothers will go in the future, after Gao and the others left, the local brothers decided for themselves, if they want to continue to follow, Gao is honored! If you are looking for another high job, Gao will also listen to it! ”

On the morning of the same day, after Gao Yingxiang made up his mind, he immediately ordered all battalion generals under his command to quickly pack up the people, horses, troops, money, food and materials and leave early the next morning, requiring all departments to take everything that could be taken away with the battalion.

Because after leaving Pingliang City, all the places west of Pingliang were in dilapidation after the Musuman Rebellion, and unless they fought with the head snakes of Musuman everywhere along the way, they would not get much supplies.

At the same time, Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, was quite particular, and did not pat his ass and retreat directly without saying a word, but asked Gao Yigong, the leader of the Chinese army around him, to send several messengers at noon that day to inform Luo Rucai who was in Jingchuan, as well as Hao Yongzhong and others who were in Jingyuan.

Hao Yongzhong, Liu Tichun, Liu Liangzuo and others, since they broke their bosses He Yilong and He Jin in Guyuan City, although they finally escaped from Guyuan City, but considering the relationship between He Yilong, He Jin and Gao Yingxiang, these people were afraid that Gao Yingxiang would settle accounts with them after the autumn, so they did not dare to return to Pingliang, so they found a place to stay in Jingyuan, a dilapidated small city in the northwest of Pingliang.

However, after Gao Yigong fled back to Pingliang, he reported the truth in Guyuan City to Gao Yingxiang.

Although Gao Yingxiang was heartbroken and angry, he also knew that the things in Guyuan City were not the fault of Hao Yongzhong and others, so he did not pursue it, but took advantage of the situation to let them lead the remnants and station them in the area of the ruined Jingyuan County.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang was determined to abandon the west of the city early the next morning, and he had not forgotten to send someone to inform him.

The movements of the bandit battalions in Pingliang City packed up their bags and concealed the three thousand battalion sentry teams sent by Wu Sangui that roamed the east and north of Pingliang City.

However, in Pingliang City, the Musu barbarian rebels and people, who had always had a tense relationship with the Han people and thieves, saw all the actions of the various departments in the camp, and they also surged one after another.

After the Pingliang Mutiny in Toluntai, and the subsequent vendetta between the Musuman and the Han people in the city, to this day, the Musubarian army and the rebellious people in the city are still 40,000 or 50,000 people.

These people were very fierce when they slaughtered the unarmed Han merchants and ordinary people, but in the face of the court officials and soldiers who slaughtered Guyuan City, these people were also secretly afraid.

It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the hard and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Those Mu Suman, whose hands were stained with the blood of Han women and children, had long wanted to escape with the looted property after the news of the Guyuan Massacre, especially after the news of the Guyuan Massacre, especially after the book of the Trilateral Governor's Mansion was transmitted to Pingliang City.

However, Gao Yingxiang and Tuluntai all forbade the people in the city to flee, so these Mu Su barbarians in Pingliang City have never had the opportunity to move out of the city to the west.

At this time, seeing that the tens of thousands of thieves under the command of King Gao Yingxiang were leaving, could these people still sit still?

Although the Han thieves and Mu Subarians in Pingliang City have been in constant conflict and tension, the reason why they can still coexist in the same city without large-scale internal strife and fire fighting is because of the increasingly serious threat of officials and troops outside the city.

The arrival of the thieves has brought a lot of trouble to the Mu Su Man in the city, the extortion and robbery of the rich people of Mu Su Man, and the rape of some ordinary Mu Su Man women have been happening constantly, but the upper echelons of Mu Su Man under his command have all endured it.

The reason why they tolerated these things was entirely because of the arrival of the thieves and their subsequent growth, which brought safety and dependence to many Mu Suman in Pingliang City whose hands were stained with the blood of the Han people.

Now, if there were no such thieves as many as tens of thousands of people stationed in Pingliang City to fight against more and more officials and soldiers, what would happen to these Mu Su barbarians?

This ending, you don't have to think about it, the upper-class characters in the city also know it.

In the evening of the same day, all the thieves in the city were hurriedly packing up the money and belongings they had accumulated for more than half a year, the gold and silver that were convenient to carry were soft and soft, and they made small bags to hide close to their bodies, and the things that were inconvenient to carry were also marked, handed over to the mule carts and camel teams in the camp, and prepared to evacuate with the battalion.

There are even some idle thieves, seizing the last opportunity to haunt the streets and alleys of Pingliang City in groups, robbing and stealing all kinds of valuable things from the city.

But when night fell, inside the west gate and south gate of Pingliang City, more and more Mu Suman began to gather.

These Mu Suman also helped the old and the young to drag their families, some rode horses, some drove cars, and camels carried their accumulated belongings.

As the night deepened, the crowd of Musubarians inside the city gate also gathered more and more, and gradually some people began to ask to open the door and leave the city.

At around the end of the night, Gao Yingxiang, who got the report, immediately sent Gao Yigong to send an order to Tuluntai to appease Mu Suman's mood and ask them to wait until tomorrow afternoon to come to the city gate and wait to leave the city.

However, after Gao Yigong passed Gao Yingxiang's order to Tuluntai, Tuluntai ordered a group of soldiers and horses, and before he could reach the scene, the west gate of Pingliang City was rushed open from the inside.

Mu Suman, who was already gathered in the west gate, rushed out of the city.

When Tolontai arrived at the scene with his men and horses, the Musu barbarians under his command not only did not stop him, but also joined the team fleeing out of the city.

Frightened, Tolontai had no choice but to send his own sons to serve as the Chinese army's own soldiers, and returned to the city to fetch his family, while he joined the fleeing torrent with his accompanying army.

The sudden situation in the West Gate made Gao Yingxiang and his subordinates panic, and no one cared about the time and sequence of abandoning the city and leaving the city.

Gao Yigong, who was the first to get the news, took King Chuang Gao Yingxiang to cover Gao Yingxiang and his family and daughters, and under the support of Liu Zhe, the leader of the Chuangjun horse team, King Chuang's henchman, he ordered the south gate to be opened, and he took the lead all the way and withdrew from Pingliang.

As soon as Gao Yingxiang left, there was chaos in the city, and Lin Yangsheng, Liu Xiyao and others fled one after another.

Whether it was the baggage that was packed and packed, the money and food that was going to be taken away, or the coerced masters and chaotic people, they were all discarded for a while, and no one paid attention to it anymore.

And Wu Sangui, who has been walking outside Pingliang City with sentinels, naturally witnessed the chaos in the city with his own eyes.

At that moment, while sending men and horses to the east and north to report the situation to the officers and soldiers of the East Road and North Road, he led the horse team of the sentry to the west gate, and intercepted the crowd that fled west halfway.

The team of thieves who have not established a strict system, even if they enter the city, will be a team of thieves after all, and if they win, they will be arrogant, and if they lose, they will scatter in a hurry.

Originally, he was still in the area of Zhenyuan, waiting for the cannons under the command of Zhou Yuji to transport the cannons from Xiaoguan to attack the city, and the courtiers of King Wu Anbo received a report from Wu Sangui at night, and immediately ordered all the cavalry of the 3,000 battalion to be more than 7,000 people, light torches and rush to the night road, and go straight to Pingliang.

Today's imperial court officers and soldiers have become accustomed to the sharpness of firearms, especially the tactics of using a large number of dense artillery to attack the city.

Once there is no artillery, when facing the fortified city, it seems that they don't know how to start except for encircling the point and sending reinforcements.

After the courtiers of King Wu Anbo took Zhenyuan, they were only one step away from Pingliang.

The distance of less than 100 miles is basically equivalent to a step away for the troops and horses of the royal courtiers, who are mainly cavalry of 3,000 battalions.

But even so, he still sent a sentry team to investigate the situation in Pingliang City, while waiting for a large number of artillery pieces that Zhou Yuji was transporting.

It's a pity that when Zhou Yuji used the hundreds of artillery pieces that had been replenished, and after taking Xiao Pass in one fell swoop, it was not so easy to take these hundreds of large and small artillery pieces over the mountains and mountains to attack Pingliang.

In this era of only manpower and accumulation of power, it is not easy to transport hundreds of artillery and ammunition, including the general's cannon and the Chongzhen one-type rear-loading smoothbore gun, as well as hundreds of trebuchets and countless fierce fire oil bombs.

However, the chaos in Pingliang City has been a lifetime, and the courtiers of King Wu Anbo, who had been waiting impatiently for artillery, naturally immediately seized this opportunity to go west.

After the ugly hour of the night, the fierce tiger led the Mongolian cavalry that was incorporated by the unit and rushed to the south gate of Pingliang City first.

At this time, the chaos in the city was still continuing, and a large number of noisy people were still gathered and congested inside and outside the city gates.
