Talmu and Ganbul, the two commanders, looked at each other speechlessly.

Yes, who else can make their monarch make a dizzying decision without hesitation, but Buddhism?

Buddhism is their faith, and anyone who desecrates Buddhism will be cut by a thousand knives.

Thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, all respect Buddhism.

In the past, Buddhism is their patron saint, their most revered existence, and if there is a conflict between them, they will also invite the Bodhisattva Arhat of Buddhism to come and mediate.

But what's wrong this time, why did the Buddhists suddenly let them come to fight Dachuan?

The Central Plains and the Western Regions are feuding, and if they are fought, they will be fought, and they should be fought.

But you don't just send troops to fight a war.

Deployment of troops, grain and grass, tactics and strategies, and unified command are all necessary.

Look at the present, what do they have?

Each of the five countries has sent armies and five commanders, and they have not elected a supreme commander to give unified command, so they fight their own battles, fight at will, and fight in a swarm, without any cooperation with each other.

That's it, collecting grain and grass, building baggage, these all take time, to start a national war, to say the least, you have to prepare for a few months, right?

Forget about these things, at least you can wait until after the autumn harvest and have food before you come back to fight, right?

No!

None of them!

It was a simple order, the whole army assembled, brought their own food, and then after they assembled, they went directly to Yumen Pass.

From the time the order was given to the time it arrived at the place, it took only a month.

Other countries are better, the monarch at least kept his senses, only sent the army over, and the farmers remained in the country to produce and grow grain, so that the country could continue.

But what about Loulan?

Directly pulled all the young and middle-aged people from all over the country, and the fields that were about to be harvested were also deserted.

Loulan is sparsely populated, there are many deserts, there are few areas that can grow grain, and the grain production is not high.

Now there are no more people to grow grain, this year's harvest is all wasted, and this winter, I don't know how many people will freeze to death and starve to death.

This is going for the self-destruction of the country!

Talmu still can't figure out why the monarch did this.

He vaguely guessed that it might be some kind of ecstasy soup that Buddhism had poured into the monarch, but he couldn't say.

At no time or in any place could he question the decision of the Buddha.

He can question the king, but not the Buddha.

Since you can't question it, you can only fight.

Tarmu is also a man of flesh and blood, and any commander who wants to win a battle doesn't want to see his own soldiers die in vain, and he will also have heartache.

It hurts so much that it drips blood.

After a while, more and more corpses were piled up under the city wall, and before Talmu was in a hurry, Ganbul was in a hurry again.

"Talmu, give the order to retreat, first return to the camp to repair, and then send people to Qilian Mountain and Beitou Mountain to cut down trees, collect stone bullets, build ladders and trebuchets, and then send people to ask the strong men of Buddhism to make a move to break the big array, otherwise our 300,000 people will be exhausted, and we will not be able to climb the wall of Yumen Pass."

"Hehe, if the Buddha Gate wanted to send a strong person, they would have sent it a long time ago, if they really wanted to break the Jade Gate Pass, they would have already sent the Bodhisattva out to break Han Yun's formation and kill Han Yun.

Now, even if Han Yun mercifully withdraws the formation, can we defeat the more than 200,000 elite troops in the city?

Can we beat those five second-grade powerhouses and a dozen third-grade powerhouses? If someone sends someone over, they can cut off your dog's head.

If we were a little more whimsical, the strong men of the enemy were merciful and did not kill us, and our soldiers rushed up to the city wall one by one, but we still had to face the millions of soldiers and civilians in the city.

Even if they have a sickle or a hoe, they can hack us to death.

Beat?

You tell me, how to fight?

From the moment we set out, it was a battle that we had to lose, and we had no hope of winning. ”

"Then at least withdraw the troops first, we can't win the war, at least let us die less." m..

Gambul frowned, looking at Talmu, waiting for him to give the order.

After all, the people who rushed forward now were all soldiers from the Loulan Kingdom, and the 100,000 troops of their Hami Kingdom were still in place.

"Can we win the war if we withdraw? How many days of food and grass do you have left in your camp? Anyway, I don't have enough food and grass for even one day. ”

"I ...... Alas......"

Gan Bu sighed heavily, he didn't have much food and grass, and Hami was a little stronger than Loulan State, with a large population and a large land, and with a small number of soldiers sent this time, he could barely sustain it.

For the tragic situation of Loulan Kingdom, he can only be helpless, if he gives his grain and grass to the Loulan army, then his own army will have to starve.

He was first and foremost responsible for his army.

At this moment, as they spoke, the gate of the Jade Gate in the distance was suddenly opened.

"Oh no, the enemy is going to fight back!"

Talmu's face changed slightly.

This is very understandable, you can't get in at all, and the city gate suddenly opens on the other side, except for the possibility that the enemy surrenders voluntarily in a dream, then there is only one left.

The enemy is going to fight back.

Sure enough, a cavalry rushed out of the doorway and charged outside.

This is a cavalry they have never seen before.

The mounts under their crotches were all desert wolves much taller than camels, and the people on the backs of the desert wolves, all wearing elite iron armor and holding spears and short crossbows, directly inserted into their own siege camp.

Overwhelming.

His own army, which did not even have armor and weapons, was powerless to resist under the iron hooves of the desert wolf.

"The defeat is decided, let's withdraw."

Talmu directly turned his horse's head and rushed towards the camp with his own guards.

As for the order to retreat, there is no need to give it.

When the 20,000-strong terrifying cavalry rushed out, they were already frightened.

This cavalry combines the two characteristics of long-range attack and close combat, and also perfectly integrates the impact power of heavy cavalry and the flexible mobility of light cavalry.

It can be said that this is an ace army that is perfect in all aspects, and any unit that wants to fight against it will have to pay a terrible price.

Zhao Long took the lead and charged forward with his own soldiers, he didn't even need to make a move, just the desert wolf rushed over, and he could trample to death and bite a lot of enemy soldiers.

By his side, there are also a number of masters to protect him.

After the Zhenbei army rushed out of the city, the distant enemy used bows and arrows, and those who were close used crossbows.

20,000 people, a massacre of more than 100,000 people.

In the eyes of the well-equipped and super-powerful Zhenbei Army, the hundreds of thousands of people outside are no different from defenseless lambs, just waiting for them to harvest.

The enemy's military formation was already chaotic, and at this time, it was divided and attacked by the Zhenbei army, and it was even more defeated, and it was directly defeated after just one confrontation.

The managers are all gone, what are they waiting for if they don't run?
