Chapter 542: Running Wild Under the Moon

"What's more, I also invited the army of the Hami Kingdom, for your royal highness, as long as the army of Dachuan dares to go out of the Yumen Pass, it will be attacked by the 100,000 troops of the Hami Kingdom, and when the time comes, you just have to rest assured to plunder."

Talmu's words made all the generals think deeply, and it seemed to be the same truth.

Everyone knows that there is no food at home now, and a group of people will have to starve to death tomorrow, not to mention the siege of the city, the road will not be able to walk, and they can only lie down and be beheaded by the enemy.

More than 100,000 people ran all over the mountains, and let the Dachuan army kill them, how many can they kill?

The crowd immediately accepted the order.

They just want to live now, and they don't care what their home or country is.

However, the old general asked again,

"Talmu, why did the other regiments go to rob, but only the five regiments from one to five of us stayed to guard the camp, we have no food to eat, and we are also hungry!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Talmu was furious, glaring and shouting,

"You five corps, I am naturally useful, can I let the whole army fall into the hinterland of the enemy country? Can't you answer?

This is a military order, and you must accept it.

Now, the generals of the first to fifth corps stayed, and the others immediately went to gather the army, and took advantage of the night to break into pieces, bypassing the Yumen Pass, and directly attacking the hinterland of the enemy country! ”

"Yes!"

More than a dozen generals immediately received orders to gather their subordinates in addition to the commander's tent.

The remaining five generals stared at each other unconvinced in the tent.

The old general sat down in his chair with a snort and turned his head away unconvinced.

He also wanted to take his subordinates to rob, and his troops were also starving, and he even thought of the scene tomorrow when his soldiers saw others going to loot food, but they themselves were starving, and they couldn't bear to mutiny.

After a moment, Talmu raised his head and said,

"After they have left the camp with all the men, you will also gather your troops and follow me to receive the grain and grass of the Hami Kingdom."

As soon as these words came out, all five people were shocked.

"What? Receiving grain and grass from Hami? ”

"Why did Hami give us grain and grass? What do they eat? ”

"What's going on? Is Dry Boole so stupid? Why give us food? ”

"Is the logistics team of Hami Country about to arrive?"

"We have food to eat?"

……

Talmu raised his head, looked to the west, and continued,

"After receiving the food, we withdrew our troops and returned home."

His tone was very flat, but it made the five of them shudder and look at each other.

Commander-in-chief, this is to ......

Gave up the hundreds of thousands of troops?

……

In the night, the camp gate of the coalition army was wide open, and the 130,000 troops of the Loulan Kingdom, with their own weapons, under the leadership of their respective generals, rushed towards the east.

A few Dachuan scouts who were riding horses and wandering two miles away from the camp suddenly saw the dense black shadow that appeared on the opposite side, and they were shocked.

"Captain, what's going on?"

One of the scouts asked quietly, a look of horror on his face.

"It's an enemy attack! The enemy is going to attack Yumen Pass at night, hurry, go back and report quickly! ”

However, before they could run a few steps, a dense array of arrows flew behind them, directly stabbing them into hedgehogs.

The group of hungry Loulan soldiers didn't even hit the torches, and under the light of the moon, they waved the machetes in their hands and cut the horses of these Dachuan scouts into pieces of meat.

But many more continue to run towards the east.

At the Jade Gate, at the head of the city, soldiers held torches high and patrolled the city walls, observing the darkness below the city.

Most of the soldiers went to sleep, leaving only a few soldiers on patrol.

The general on duty tonight happened to be Xie Xing, who was born in the Yue family's army.

After all, it is wartime, and even if the enemy cannot get in, there must still be a general in charge of the command on duty.

At this time, Xie Xing was in the city gate tower, lighting the night light, looking at the military book.

Suddenly, a patrolling soldier ran quickly, opened the door and shouted,

"General, a lot of enemy troops have appeared, come and take a look."

"Enemy troops?"

Xie Xing frowned, and immediately got up and walked outside.

At the same time, I was curious, the enemy army in the middle of the night was going to attack the city at night?

If it is in other cities, it is understandable that while the defenders are sleeping and the defense is weak, the besieging side carries the ladder quietly to the city and climbs the city wall as fast as possible, so that when the defenders find out, it is too late to look at everyone.

However, the commander of the garrison with a little brain, knows how to guard against night attacks.

But that's for ordinary cities, you can't break the big array of Yumen Pass, you don't even have a cloud ladder, is it useful to make a fart night attack?

With doubts, Xie Xing came to the west city wall and raised his eyes to look down.

The firelight on the top of the city could only illuminate a small area under the city, but fortunately it was a sunny day tonight, and the moonlight was bright, and he saw the black shadows that had spread all over the mountains and fields in the west by the moonlight.

"So many people? The enemy is going to attack again? ”

Xie Xing frowned, puzzled, the enemy army was running wildly with weapons, no different from the daytime, there was not even a cloud ladder, so he also wanted to capture the city?

What did the enemy commander-in-chief think? Even if you don't eat enough, you won't sleep?

"General, do you want to beat the drum and summon the brothers over?"

A captain next to him asked.

"No, the enemy can't get in, let them rest and rest."

"Oh, do you want to tell Nie Shuai?"

"Hmm...... Let's tell him, as a commander, he still needs to know the enemy situation as soon as possible. ”

"Yes!"

The captain went to report to Nie Ze, Xie Xing stood at the head of the city, looking at the enemy troops rushing in the distance, his brows furrowed.

But soon, he realized that something was wrong.

The soldiers at the head of the city had already drawn their bows and arrows, but the enemy army did not attack the formation of Yumen Pass, but one south and one north, divided into two directions, bypassed Yumen Pass, and continued to run wildly.

"What is this for? Ready to surround us? ”

Xie Xing muttered to himself, but didn't pay much attention to it.

The enemy army surrounded Yumen Pass, and that was the way to kill themselves.

You must know that the siege is indeed a common tactic in siege warfare, but it is also based on cutting off the food and grass of the defenders, and when the besieging side has enough food and grass and sufficient troops, the defenders are unable to break through the siege and can only be forced to surrender.

Now that Yumen Pass has many generals and a wide range of soldiers, sufficient food and grass, the enemy army is sleepy and lacking horses, and the troops are few, and they have the advantage of encircling them with weakness, so what is it that is not looking for death?

Don't care about them now, wait until tomorrow daytime, the defenders of Yumen Pass will be able to defeat the other party and win the victory easily.
