Gaochang City is located in the narrow basin of the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain, the city outline is rectangular, the circumference is nearly 11 miles, the outer city wall base is four zhang wide, three zhang six high, rammed earth is built, there are nine city gates in the whole city.

The buildings in the city follow the layout of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, with houses lined up one after another, workshops, markets, temples and residential areas, and nearly 50,000 people in the city, which is definitely a rare big city in the Western Regions.

And in the past few days, the people in Gaochang City have just experienced a nightmare, the wolf army that suddenly killed from the Mobei grassland, first trapped Beiting, and then attacked Xizhou, Gaochang City trembled in front of the fierce wolf army, and was crumbling.

Fortunately, when the city was about to be breached, Princess Adella stood up and promised the people of the city that as long as everyone fought bravely and kept Gaochang City, she would choose the most heroic man among the soldiers defending the city as her husband in the future.

Princess Adella is the second daughter of Vijab's Jin, sixteen years old this year, looks like a snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, extremely beautiful, and has a faint fragrance since childhood, often attracts colorful butterflies to dance around her, it is a wonder.

She is the most beautiful woman in Xizhou, known as the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, and is the idol admired and worshiped in the hearts of all men in Xizhou.

She stood up and made a promise, aroused the blood of all the young and strong people in the city, and took up arms to go to the city one after another, fighting to the death with the enemy army besieging the city, and the originally precarious Gaochang City was miraculously defended.

Seeing this, Chi Tie'er advised Lie Gulie to give up the assault and instead sweep the periphery of Gaochang, doing everything possible to strengthen himself first.

For nominally Qochamp was a Uighur state, but the people were not just Uighurs. Han Chinese, Turkic people, Tibetan people, Grolu, Sogdians, Persians, and so on. As long as you are strong enough, it will not be difficult to win their attachment.

And even some Uighurs. It was also possible to strive for it, and the Western Uighurs divided the people of the ruled class into several classes, namely:

Karanchi (hired farmer);

Yideru (i.e., Yan Qihu, similar to a slave);

kuwak (to pay taxes in kind to the state and officials, equivalent to yeoman farmers);

Tutuk (used as a serf, free at expiration);

Kada fence (between freemen and serfs);

secondly, slaves;

The most noteworthy thing is that slaves are not a small number, most of them are the people who have been plundered in war, and they are the easiest to win over. Just be kind to them a little bit, give them back their freedom, and they will follow you;

Digulie won 6,000 men in Beiting, which increased their ranks to nearly 20,000 at once.

Gaochang City has gathered the most wealth in Xizhou, and it is difficult for ordinary people to give it up, but Chi Tie'er's idea is very simple and practical, as long as he continues to grow himself, Gaochang City will be his own sooner or later, and now there is no need to use the corpse mountain and blood sea to go to the town.

Adella stood on the tower to the north. She wears a flower crown on her head, her temples hang down in a bun to cover her ears, she wears a hairpin with a golden phoenix and other hairpins, and she wears a robe with narrow sleeves and lapels. The back of the head is hung with a red knot in the middle and the strip is decorated. The face is covered with a white light veil, and the beautiful face can only see the hazy outline, but the tall figure. The fluttering straps of the clothes are already dazzlingly beautiful.

Watch the enemy army roar away. The city was full of jubilation, but Princess Adella's brow did not spread. On the contrary, she frowned even tighter, although she was so beautiful that all men went crazy, but after all, she was not a real fairy, she could save the people in the city, but how could she save the people outside the city?

The enemy army soon disappeared into the distance, leaving only the Flaming Mountain, which the Uighurs called "Kyzyltag," meaning "red mountain," burning in the scorching sun.

There is no grass on the mountain, and the birds are hidden. Whenever in the middle of summer, the red sun is in the sky, the russet mountain is under the scorching sun, the sandstone is scorching and flashing, and the hot air flow rolls up, just like the flames are blazing, and the tongue of fire is touching the sky, so it is also called the flame mountain.

Flaming Mountain is the hottest place in the Western Regions, and in summer you can bake hard-boiled eggs in the sand nest. Due to the fault of the leyline movement and the cutting of the river, many valleys are left in the belly of the mountain, mainly Tao'er ditch, Mutou ditch, Tuyu ditch, Lianmuqin ditch, Subo ditch and so on.

However, these valleys are shaded by greenery, beautiful scenery, gurgling water, melons and fruits, especially famous for their abundant grapes.

Now, these places will soon fall under the iron heel of the enemy's fierce army, and Princess Adella can't help but worry when she thinks about this.

Her father Khan led the army to attack the Hexi of the Song State, and there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses left in the city, and the fall of Beiting made the army fearful, although she was temporarily boosted by morale, but if she went out of the city to fight, the victory or defeat was unpredictable.

She turned back to McRivan next to her and asked, "Haven't you heard from my father Khan yet?" ”

Mayrivan was the Uighur prime minister of Xizhou, and Princess Adella's tone should be more respectful, but Mayrivan encouraged her father Khan to conquer the Song Kingdom, which Adella strongly opposed;

It's a pity that her father Khan, in the face of huge interests, was instigated by Mai Liwen and others, and did not listen to her, but still sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

Adella felt that McRiwin and the others were mainly responsible for causing today's crisis, so she was extremely unkind to him.

Mai Liwen is in his fifties, his figure is slightly rickety, and now the whole city can be said to be preserved by Princess Adella, Mai Liwen does not dare to underestimate her, and replied respectfully: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, according to the distance, the Great Khan should lead the army back to the area of Yumen Pass, and he can rush back to Gaochang in two or three days at the earliest." ”

"Three days? Three more days? Princess Adella seemed to be muttering to herself, if she watched the enemy army loot outside the city for three days, what would be left of Xizhou?

Thinking of this, Princess Adella actually made a surprising decision, she said to McRivan: "We can't wait any longer, when the army of Father Khan returns, Xizhou will also be looted." You immediately gather all the soldiers and horses in the city, as well as the young men, and follow the princess out of the city to meet the enemy army. ”

McRivan was shocked when she heard this, Adella was just a girl who had nothing to do with the world, and let the army go out of the city with her, wasn't this going to die?

Mai Liwen sternly refused and said: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, by all means, if the army goes out of the city, in case of defeat, who will guard Gaochang City, this matter must not be promised to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The judge (head of justice) Liu Yunshan also advised: "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't be impulsive, everything will wait for the Great Khan to come back before making a claim." ”

"When my father Khan came back, Gaochang didn't lose it, but he lost Xizhou, are you afraid of death? Okay, this princess doesn't ask you to transfer troops, I'll figure it out myself. ”

Regardless of the advice of everyone, Adele resolutely went to the city, and recruited the young people in the city in her own name, and what is amazing is that the young people in the city are like clouds, and in just two hours, Adella miraculously pulled up a team of 5,000 people.

She used her chief of guard, Mo Ying, as her deputy general, and quickly reorganized this army and became an army in one day.

In this way, Princess Adella, who is slender and delicate, and has the beauty of the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, went out of the city with 5,000 men and horses to meet the enemy army.
