Chapter 495: A Forgotten Group
The 10,000 Rouran cavalry slaughtered the defenders in Pingcheng almost without resistance, and after only one round of impact, the resistance that could still be organized was less than 5,000.
Of course, the Rouran people are not only targeting the military camp, after solving the main force in the military camp, this surprise attack on Pingcheng has achieved the desired effect.
After that, Lord Rouran ordered several generals to solve the areas in the city where troops might be hidden, and he himself led people straight towards the city lord's mansion.
Although the purpose of the Rouran people is the Taimiao in Pingcheng, it can also be regarded as an additional gain if they can solve the old nobles in Pingcheng.
In addition to the soldiers, the Rouran cavalry did not show mercy to the people in the city.
Before the people of the city could react, the cavalry was already wailing everywhere.
Those who didn't have time to hide almost all died under the merciless blade.
No one knows how many people will die in Heijo tonight, or when the massacre will end.
In the City Lord's Mansion, the pleasant banquet was still going on carefree, and the first stream who didn't know the news was still frowning.
At the same time, Cao Yun, who was in the middle of a drunken mood, suddenly received a report from his subordinates about the sudden riot in the city and the gang of men and horses who came from nowhere.
At first, Cao Yun only thought that it was a few gentlemen who were riding on the streets, but the more he listened, the more he realized that the form was wrong.
Cao Yun didn't have time to explain to others, and under the leadership of his subordinates, he also left this side under the puzzled expressions of everyone present.
The first stream, who had been depressed, also noticed this scene, and he exchanged glances with the other two, and the three of them thought of going together.
Could it be that the Rouran people have already begun to move, otherwise it would be impossible for Cao Yun to have such a big reaction at this time.
Although the three of them are not sure, they all hope for this in their hearts.
After leaving, Cao Yun immediately put on his military uniform and armor, and led dozens of pro-soldiers to investigate the specific situation. It's just that when the group left the City Lord's Mansion, they met the Rouran army that had already arrived outside the mansion.
When Cao Yun saw this, a chill suddenly appeared in his heart. Although he hasn't met yet, he's already starting to think about the worst.
In the crowd, Rehancha rode forward.
These Rouran people can walk out of the sea of corpses and blood, and everyone has a smell of blood, which is even more terrifying when mixed together.
Re Khan looked at Cao Yun, who was still a little unclear, and asked, "Are you Cao Yun?"
Cao Yun also crawled out of the pile of dead people in his early years, so even in the face of such a scene, he was unmoved.
Hearing this, Cao Yun said lightly, "It's me, who is Your Excellency?"
At this point, Cao Yun's words were already knowingly asked, but these words had to be said.
Rehan Chayan said with a smile: "We have been envious of Pingcheng for a long time, so we have come here to sit."
In the crowd opposite, Cao Yun also saw a rather familiar face, which was Chang Mingtu.
At this time, he also realized that this was a long-planned arrangement.
After that, Rehancha and the others had no extra nonsense and captured Cao Yun and the others.
Cao Yun was still very useful, so he was not immediately executed, but the others in the City Lord's Mansion did not have these good lives.
A team of Rouran soldiers dismounted, and the main general did not have any arrangement, that is, they could be robbed.
In the City Lord's Mansion, all the people who were still immersed in Gentle Township did not realize that tonight was the death date of most of them. When the bands of Rouran soldiers broke down the door, the Grim Reaper rushed at them with scythes.
On this night, all parts of the city will be places of life and death, and Heijo is the largest Shura field.
After taking down Cao Yun, the Rouran people targeted those spirit cards in the Taimiao.
Although many tablets have been taken to Luoyang by several emperors, there are still many tablets in the Taimiao Temple in Pingcheng, most of which are ancestors of Xianbei when they were only tribes.
As long as there is land in the Taimiao, the Rouran people will not be taken away, these are all plans that can be explained in future negotiations
Yard.
On the second day, when the eastern sky was showing a trace of fish belly white, the fireworks in Pingcheng were extinguished.
After a night of slaughter, the city was already full of corpses, a terrible scene.
On the long street, yesterday was a lively scene, but today it is already miserable.
Occasionally, you can still see some figures, but they are ordinary people who have been hunted down and killed.
After last night, those Rouran soldiers who could still organize their combat effectiveness suddenly broke through the south gate at a certain moment. However, Rehancha and the others were not even surprised when they heard the news, and they did not mean to pursue, so they fled.
Just one night, Pingcheng was gone.
With such a big movement, it took a long time for the news to reach Luoyang.
On that day, when Yuan Ke learned the news, he was furious, and in a fit of rage, he even killed some remnants of the old nobles in Luoyang, including some family members.
In fact, Yuan Ke was not only angry about the uselessness of the old nobles in Pingcheng, but also disappointed in Yuwentai on the front line. Now, the rout of the whole line from Hexi to the northwest has made Yuan Ke more and more unable to understand Yuwentai's behavior.
————
Since entering the desert, the Gao Huan tribe has completely lost contact with the outside world, and the number of tribes of less than 1,000 people has plummeted in less than seven days after entering the desert, and in the end only about 500 remains.
The sun is scorching on the desert, but in early spring there is no too strong sun.
And at night, the biting cold is unbearable for everyone.
This is the tenth day that Gao Huan's troops have entered the grassland, and almost everyone is about to reach the limit, including Gao Huan himself.
Severe water and food shortages, and being in extreme areas are no longer tolerable for all.
Gao Huan's lips had already cracked several times, but he was still reluctant to drink the only water left in the water bag, because these people were likely to save their lives at a critical time.
Gao Huan stopped and walked, and he was really too weak.
He glanced back and saw that the original large army was now getting smaller and smaller, and a large number of horses had been slaughtered in the process.
Some Gao Huan, who couldn't walk, leaned on the horse, relaxing himself a little.
His eyes swept over the soldiers behind him, and even though he was reluctant to do it, he still had to do it.
In the past few days, Gao Huan has become accustomed to the situation that there are brothers in the team from time to time who can't hold on, as long as they are not sure that they can't be saved, Gao Huan still wants to save them.
At this time, when he was in a hurry, a person fell under Gao Huan's nose.
Seeing this, Gao Huan endured his weak body and helped the fallen man up.
In fact, most of the reasons are the same, that is, there is too much water, but even if Gao Huan's own water is not enough, he still does not hesitate to open his water bottle and give the soldiers in his hand a sip.
After taking a sip of water, the fallen and unconscious soldier repeatedly swallowed this hard-won sweetness, because it could save his life.
Gao Huan has always been a determined person who can do it for himself and can take his brothers out of the quagmire, but things were originally complicated for him.
Now they have not gone far and have lost most of their losses, and they must be cautious every step of the way.
A moment later, a middle-aged man who looked like an adjutant general walked over and said to Gao Huan, "General, if we continue like this, we will be buried in the yellow sand in less than three days."
It's an exaggeration, but that's exactly what happened.
After staying away from the main battlefield, even Gao Huan had no way to protect these people, they no longer had any purpose, and surviving was the biggest appeal.
After this person finished speaking, Gao Huan looked at the slow-moving troops, many of whom were hunched over.
For a while, Gao Huan also had doubts about what he did in the beginning, if it weren't for this, they and those who had died might still be living well.
Later, Gao Huan also kept up with the team again.
Even if you already know that the road ahead is bleak,
But they must not give up again.
Sometimes, Gao Huan wants to know how the battle is on the front line?
At the beginning, they were born and died to buy more time for the front line, but for now, it is not so urgent. ap.
Gao Huan remembered that he had promised to go to the soft royal court, but now his hope was about to be dashed.
In this way, relying on the only remaining water source and food, Gao Huanbu held on to the grassland for another ten days, and everyone was already at the end of the crossbow.
Looking at the endless desert in front of them, the mental defense line of many people was completely defeated after all.
Some people squatted on the ground, some comforted themselves with a wry smile, and some radicals committed suicide on the spot.
This scene not only shocked his own inner defense, but also affected those who were still sane.
Gao Huan can actually understand the thoughts and practices of these people, which was the only life-saving straw that was now broken. Hopes are shattered, dreams are shattered, nothing more than that.
In the end, Gao Huan ordered people to count the number of troops that had been gathered, and it was exactly 400 people.
Gao Huan walked to the front of the team and looked at all the remaining soldiers, Gao Huan said loudly, "I know that everyone has no hope of leaving alive now, but we can't sit still at any time.
Even if there is only one percent of hope left in action, it is possible.
If it weren't for desperation, no one would want to put their lives in the hands of others, but for now, they were forced to do so.
That night, the distraught Gao Huan was ready to go forward alone to investigate.
In the vast desert, Gao Huan is like a flat boat swaying, but the people in it will never realize it, as long as the flat boat is still a flat boat.
After night came, Gao Huan left the station.
He went straight to the front of the camp, which was the place where everyone was gone.
It doesn't take a quarter of an hour to ride a horse there, but now Gao Huan doesn't even have the strength to ride a horse.
When Gao Huan finally came to the top of the mountain out of breath, she finally saw what the other side of the mountain looked like.
