Chai Zhewei was furious, and immediately ordered all countries to send men and horses to kill Hugganda Valley City.

This is a coalition of countries and a huge army. Since defeating the Turks and stationing in the Western Regions, this is the first time that the Tang Dynasty has gathered so many people in the Western Regions.

This army covered the sky and the sun, marched towards the Western Night Country like a sandstorm, they first came to the south of Shule Country to temporarily station, and after gathering the men and horses of Khotan, Yansha, Wulei and other countries, they directly advanced eastward into the desert.

They first passed through an abandoned city, and the Shule people said that this was the city of Zihe.

Chai Zhewei ordered the army to set up camp in Zihe City. He made his rounds around the city and noticed a strange phenomenon.

According to previous reports, it has been abandoned for three years, and three years of wind and sand have caused the houses in the city to collapse. Chai Zhewei found that most of the daily necessities here were left, but the stove was empty.

He called the Shule and Shache, the two great powers closest to the Western Night. He asked these people if the Western Night Army would take all the pots and pans of various countries everywhere they went.

People from both countries say, it seems to be. At this time, the people of the Thunderless Country stood up and spoke.

Wulei was invaded by the Western Night, and although he kept the country, several towns were sacked. The thunderless generals hated the root of their teeth, and they said that the people of the West Night did not take away pots and pans, but only pots!

- The people of the West Nights are not a thing! We've regained the city, and we can't eat anything hot!

On the fifth day of the ninth month of the first year of Yonghui, the coalition army marched from the abandoned city of Zihe and continued to advance towards the city of Huqianggu.

According to the Thunderless Country, which was at war with the West Night, the West Night Country had a special army called the "Xiao Regiment". This Xiao is the Xiao of the mandrill, not the one that specializes in cutting people.

Mandrills are legendary monsters that are masked and capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards with their bare hands. The "Xiao people" in the western night also wear masks that blind their facial features, they move quickly and powerfully, and everywhere they go, they are all one against a hundred. Although the West Night Kingdom is small, it is precisely because of the Xiao people that it has annexed the Three Kingdoms in just one year and dominates the Western Corner.

Therefore, Chai Zhewei was also very cautious along the way, he did not urge the army to move quickly, but avoided the complicated terrain and marched along the main road. At the same time, he also strengthened the vigilance of the commander's tent, "more than 300 athletes guarded the tent."

But the road was peaceful, neither encountered any mandrills, not even a scout of the Western Night Country, where the army arrived, the road was smooth, and there was no wind and waves at all.

In this way, the stop-and-go stopped, and on September 14, the allied forces of the Western Regions finally approached the city of Huggandu.

This time, the coalition army has a total of 10,000 people, but it is claimed to be 50,000, in contrast, although the West Night Country claims to be 10,000 people, but in fact, there are less than 1,000 people who can take up arms to resist, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people are about 2,000.

"The heavenly army is full of soldiers, such as the number of sand. The three armies shouted, and the sound was like thunder. Kuang Zheng expelled evil spirits, and morale was open. A country that has lost its way is a city that is ruined. ”

10,000 horses immediately surrounded the small city of Huqian Valley, and in the original words of the document, "The siege is like a cage net, and birds and beasts are not allowed to enter." ”

It was nearly dusk when the siege was completed, and the deputy general Ashina Sheer believed that the disparity in strength was huge, and the siege was not too hasty at this time. But Chai Zhewei still decided to attack again at dawn the next day.

The document recorded a sentence that Chai Zhewei said in the military discussion.

"Let the evil people see my heavenly might, or they can not fight the soldiers of the people."

Of course, compared to the latter sentence, this is more like a face-saving sentence, because he instructed a few more sentences.

"Looking at the golem in the city, the demonic spirit is strong, the white bones are thick, the evil atmosphere is full of sky, there is no thunder and mandrill, the soldiers will not take off their armor, sleep on their pillows, do not neglect it, and prevent night attacks."

Ashina Sheer was originally an Eastern Turkic prince, and he even called him Khan, but later failed in the Turkic infighting, defected to the Tang Dynasty, and became a concubine. When Guo Xiaoke died in the battle of Qiuci, the Tang army was leaderless for a time, but the deputy marshal Ashina Sheer suppressed the position and pacified Qiuci, Khotan and other countries.

Sheer has been a veteran all his life, so he knows Chai Zhewei's intentions. He sent an order down and asked the soldiers to light their torches, so that the desert was as bright as day.

"Send scouts, watch all night, move and still, know everything."

These scouts were all looking out over the dunes, and although the night was confused, because it was nearly fifteen, the moonlight was like water, illuminating the lonely city.

They were amazed to find that the people of Siya were completely indifferent to the siege outside, and they were still busy with the idol. These men took advantage of the night to attach a huge head to the neck of the idol, and then busied themselves on it, drawing eyebrows and eyes on the idol.

- Are these people crazy? Aren't they afraid that tomorrow the country will be ruined? Maybe when they see that the heavenly soldiers are here, they have long lost the intention of confrontation, and I am afraid that tomorrow when the horn sounds, these madmen will open the city gates and kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, right?

The scouts watched from their sentry all night, and in the second half of the night, the moon set and the wind rose, and the sand and dust were filled, and the valley of Huqian was already hazy and could not see clearly, and they were afraid of the enemy's sneak attack, so they had to pay full attention to the four gates of this small city.

The eastern sky is gradually whitening, and the desert is still a little cold in the autumn morning. The wind slowly stopped, and their vision gradually widened, but the scouts suddenly found that the entire city of Huggan Valley was empty, and there was no one to be seen!

They were surprised and told the news. But Chai Zhewei was still afraid of a sneak attack, and the Tang army was very cautious and sent an advance team of 1,000 people into the city.

Sure enough, there was not a single soldier guarding the city gate, and after the advance team entered the city, they found that "the streets and alleys were in order, and the market was solemn." The ashes of the stove are not cold, and the residual wine is still warm", which shows that the people of the West Night did not panic at all, but disappeared in a calm and orderly situation.

Chai Zhewei and Ashina Sheer also led their troops into the city, and they mobilized all their soldiers to search around the city of Huqian Valley, but still did not find a single person.

Yesterday all night, the Tang army surrounded the Western Night Country, and the scouts were all staring at the city gate, and the people of the West Night Country would never take the opportunity to escape. And in this kind of soft desert, it is not possible to use authentic methods.

Did you escape underground?

Chai Zhewei immediately ordered to search every inch of land in the city, and be sure to find the entrance to the cellar. But just as the Tang army was taking action, a demonic wind suddenly blew over.

"The demons of the heavens fell in response to the wind. There were hundreds of destroyed houses, and a corner of the city wall was also destroyed. The head of the devil fell diagonally and fell into the lake. The wind and sand are blowing, and the heavenly soldiers are terrifying. In half a day, the West Night City was covered by yellow sand, which used to be the city of the world, and suddenly the city under the sand. ”

Even so, Chai Zhewei was still unwilling, and two days later, he sent scouts to visit. The scout came back and reported—

"The sand mountains are majestic, and the tiles are gone."

Chai Zhewei was relieved at this time, because even if the people of the West Night Kingdom were hiding underground, they had been crushed underground by the sand dunes and could never come back - in a sense, this was also a kind of self-killing.
