The troops sent out by Yumen Pass to clear the Loulan Army were not the only ones in the Zhenbei Army.

After the Zhenbei Army took the lead in leaving Yumen Pass, Nie Ze successively sent a lot of troops to one town and village after another to search for the Loulan Army.

It's a lot of work, and it's not easy to get them all out.

Fortunately, the Zhenbei army left early and killed most of the Loulan army in the wilderness, and the remaining enemies were all broken into the mountains and villages, but they were still able to harm one side and make the people miserable.

In addition to the Zhenbei army, Nie Ze had already sent an army of 50,000 people, divided into batches to the east, and there were still 150,000 defense troops and more than 20,000 Qi family troops left in the city.

Nie Ze was in the tent, looking at the topographic map of the sand table in the east of Yumen Pass, thinking about how to carry out the clean-up work next.

I'm not afraid that those Loulan people will gather to be mountain bandits, so it's good to clean up, but I'm afraid that they will hide in the mountains and rob and kill the people in groups, which will be the most unbearable.

Suddenly, outside the tent, a soldier came to report,

"Qi Qi Nie Shuai, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?"

Nie Ze frowned, how could it be that it was obviously a battle that was sure to win, and there was always bad news coming?

"The enemy's 100,000 Hami army all left the camp, set up a position in the east of Yumen Pass, and robbed and killed our army that went out to clear the Loulan army."

"What? The kingdom of Hami is also going to bring about its own destruction? Why can't so many people think about it today! ”

Nie Ze picked up his helmet, brought it to his head, and rode towards the eastern city wall.

In the past, the direction he looked at the most was the west and the north, the west was the Buddha country, and the north was the demon clan, and he rarely paid attention to the east.

But now, he was troubled by Loulan and Hami's manipulation, and he had to put his energy into his own territory in the east.

After coming to the eastern city wall, Nie Ze set his eyes to the east.

On the endless desert, the army of Hami was neatly arrayed, which was a defensive formation.

It is ridiculous to say that the besieging side of the city runs to the side of the enemy's hinterland, and then sets up a defensive formation, waiting for the defenders to come and fight them.

This is a completely reversed tactic, but it really happened in front of the eyes of the soldiers of Yumen Pass.

"They're going to fight me in a dignified way."

Nie Ze's gaze swept over the enemies outside and sighed leisurely.

The lieutenant general next to him said,

"Nie Shuai, we don't need to fight with them, they have 100,000 people, and we only have 150,000 troops left in the city, if we want to win, we have to send them all out and fight them.

Not to mention the heavy losses, it is really unwise to give up our current city wall and geographical advantages, and go out to meet the battle.

All we have to do is cut off the supply of food and grass for the enemy, and they will starve to death here, and they will definitely attack the city when the time comes, and we can take it in stride. ”

Listening to the adjutant general's words, Nie Ze sneered and said,

"The enemy army knows that they will lose and die, and they want to fight with us, and they want to force us out to meet the battle, and consume our strength as much as possible.

Now, the Zhenbei army and our cavalry have all been sent out to clear the Loulan army, and only the infantry is left in the city, and the enemy, all of them are determined to die, and they are not afraid of death, and they can be ten.

As you said, if you go out to fight, the losses will be not small.

But have you thought that if we don't fight, they won't attack our city if they have no food and grass?

The people of Loulan set a good example for them, they also starved to death outside the city, and they also died in siege, and they will enter the hinterland of our country and plunder the people like the people of Loulan.

At that time, the Loulan people had not finished killing, and another 100,000 Hami troops had entered, and the people really had no way to live. ”

"This ...... Facing the heavy losses in the battle, not facing the people to suffer, this enemy army's Yang conspiracy, forcing us to make a choice. ”

The lieutenant general also understood at this time, his brows furrowed, and he was anxious.

"Yes, the enemy's tactics of ending up together have directly wiped out our advantage, and the commander of the enemy army is a smart man."

Yumen Pass is an iron lump, and it can't be bitten no matter what.

If you want to fight, you can only lure the snake out of the hole.

The enemy army first used more than 100,000 Loulan troops to put them into the hinterland of Dachuan, causing trouble to the people, and luring all the Zhenbei army and the cavalry in the city out of the city to kill the Loulan army.

Then, the Hami army came over again and waited to the east of Yumen Pass.

If you send someone to kill the Loulan army, I will kill your reinforcements.

If you don't send troops out to fight a decisive battle with me, I will also go to the Loulan army to cause trouble to your people.

So you can only send a large army out to fight me, and you only have infantry to use.

I'm going to die, but before I die, I'm going to have to bite you hard.

What the enemy army uses is a conspiracy, and there is no solution.

The insoluble iron knot of Yumen Pass was bitten open by the enemy.

"Nie Shuai, what should we do now?"

The adjutant asked.

Nie Ze smiled bitterly

"What can I do? I can only fight, and it's better for the enemy army to gather here than to scatter and cause trouble for the people, right? When the time comes, a large army will have to be sent out to clear it, and it will be more time-consuming and laborious, and the losses will be even heavier.

Go and inform Xie Xing and all the generals, let them gather the army, and all the defense troops go out to meet the battle with the commander, and in addition, inform the head of the Qi family and let the Qi family army help defend the city.

The enemy army has a will to die and is a hard bone, but our Okawa Erlang has no bad breed who is afraid of death.

They dare to come and fight us, and we are desperate to kill them all! ”

"Yes!"

The lieutenant turned away and gave the order.

Nie Ze looked at the dense military array outside and sighed,

"It's a pity, if the Zhenbei Army is still here, the commander will send a large army to surround the enemy formation, and the Zhenbei Army will be able to easily kill the enemy as soon as it rushes.

Give me 200,000 Zhenbei troops, and this commander can sweep the entire Western Regions......"

It's a pity that there is only one Zhenbei army, and all of them have been sent out to kill the enemy.

This matter must be done by the Zhenbei Army, and if it is replaced by other armies, no one can stop the Loulan Army that is running fast.

However, the Zhenbei army was too small, only 20,000 people, all of them were dispersed, and the speed of killing the Loulan army was still not fast.

The 200,000 Zhenbei Army is basically unlikely, even if it is the blood capital of Dachuanxia, it can't be cultivated, and the equipment and soldiers are okay to say, spending a lot of money to cultivate, and it can barely be done.

But 200,000 desert wolves, who can get it.

A large part of the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army comes from the desert wolf, whether it is in the grassland, the desert, or the mountains and forests, the desert wolf is as fast as the wind, and the strength is strong, the endurance is sufficient, and the defense is also high.

It's much stronger than horses and camels.

Coupled with the equipment of the Zhenbei Army, which is armed to the teeth, it is enough to destroy all enemies.

But because of this, it is also determined that the Zhenbei Army is destined to be scarce and unable to develop on a large scale.
