Volume II: Chapter 135: The Messenger of King Arslan
As expected by Yunzhong, the Dawan army in Loulan City had already secretly disappeared, but when he left, the city was looted, and all the gold, silver, treasures, and strong beauties were taken away, leaving only an empty city and tens of thousands of old and weak people to Luokai.
The joy of returning to his homeland has been diluted, and Prince Lokai is beginning to become worried.
The Dawan army not only removed the weapons and armor in the arsenal, but also collected the weapons to defend the city, and now Loulan, except for a fairly tall city wall, is almost defenseless, and according to the Malay report, Han Sui's 50,000 Daxia army has been less than five days away from Loulan City, and in the direction of Liangzhou, there is an army of about 50,000 people is marching towards Loulan.
The movements of the two Great Xia armies made it difficult for De Luokai to sleep, and he wandered room by room in the palace, but he didn't talk to anyone, until Princess Lin said to him: "Big brother, the situation is like this, why don't you go and ask Lord Yun?"
"Lin, although Yunzhong is powerful, he can only fight, in such a situation where there is a huge difference in strength, what can he do?" Prince Luo Kai said, but he still walked out of the palace gate and rode to the general's residence where Yunzhong lived.
Yun Zhong was chatting happily with the two guests, seeing Prince Luo Kai visiting, he quickly got up and saluted, Prince Luo Kai was not very happy, looked at the two strangers who were talking to Yun Zhong, but was surprised to find that they were two Heavenly Rank masters.
"Prince Lokai, this is Asturus, my old comrade-in-arms during the Montenegrin War," Yunzhong pointed to a fiery red-haired giant and introduced Prince Lokai, "When he was traveling in Transan, he heard that I was fighting in Loulan, so he organized a mercenary team of five hundred men to support me. ”
"And this one. The cloud pointed to a man beside Asturus, a one-eyed man with a physique not far behind the Nord giant Ashur.
"My name is Kebardo, and I am the messenger of Arslan, king of Pars. The one-eyed man introduced himself before he scrambled into the clouds.
Prince Lokai was shocked: "The messenger of Pars?"
Yun Zhong bowed and said, "Mr. Kebado has just arrived, and I am about to report to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
Prince Lokai's heart churned, Pars is a large country west of the Western Regions, in the buffer zone of the sphere of influence of the two great gods of Emperor Yahe and Emperor Huz, but its people are not believers in these two emperors, but the goddess of faith Efuth.
Just five years earlier, the Rasidenians had launched an expedition to the east and nearly destroyed the Pars, but only a year later, the Pars, under the leadership of the new king Arslan, had annihilated the invading 400,000 Rasidenian army, successfully recovering all the lost territory, and then carried out radical political reforms to become a regional power.
But what was the purpose of the Pars envoy when he came to Loulan?
Kebado seemed to see what Prince Luo Kai thought, stepped forward, and said proudly: "When Ahur invaded Loulan, my king Yarslan sent people to Loulan to try to rescue the prince, but he was a step too late and failed to find the whereabouts of the prince. ”
Prince Luo Kai was overjoyed: "King Arslan is worthy of the title of King Xian, and on behalf of the seven million people of Loulan, I thank your country for your assistance. ”
Kebado said: "The prince doesn't have to be polite, then Ahur is in the Western Regions, in the name of the prophet, wantonly slaughtered and suppressed the soldiers and civilians who did not believe in Huzi, causing countless bloody disasters, today I first came to visit Lord Yun for this matter, for hundreds of thousands of souls to thank Lord Yun." ”
A dark look crossed Prince Lokai's face, but then he returned to normal.
After a few more casual words, Athru and Kebado took their leave, leaving Lokai and Yunzhong behind.
"Two and a half thousand more elite fighters is good news. Luo Kai was happy, but he couldn't hide the worry between his eyebrows.
Yunzhong said: "The two legions of Great Xia have a total of 10,000 people, and our army has more than 60,000 troops in Loulan City, and the difference in numbers is not big, but the Great Xia army is an elite soldier who has experienced a hundred battles, and our army is a newly created army, and the vast majority of them are rabble, this battle is indeed difficult." ”
Luo Kai's face was gloomy: "Ahur's strength is more than ten times that of yours, and he hasn't been beheaded by you, in the face of the Great Xia Army, we should still have hope, right?"
Yunzhong shook his head: "Han Sui is not Ahur, he can become a feudal official in the Great Xia Kingdom, he relies not only on his cultivation of the heavenly rank and that son-in-law with high martial arts, in fact, in the entire Great Xia, Han Sui has the name of a think tank, and it is definitely not comparable to the arrogant and irascible Ahur, Ahur has faced Han Sui in the battle for more than half a year, and repeated defeats are proof of this." ”
Prince Lokai asked, "We don't have a chance at all?"
Yunzhong said: "Head-to-head, we have no chance, we can only rely on Loulan City to hold on, but our grain and grass military resources will support us to defend for two months at most." ”
Prince Luokai's face became more and more ugly, Yun Zhong paused, and said, "Our only chance of winning is to hope for Loulan's public opinion." ”
Prince Lokai wondered: "What is the public opinion?"
Yunzhong said: "The Loulan royal family has been inherited for thousands of years, and the people in the country have benefited a lot, and there are contradictions with different beliefs between the Great Xia Army, the prince can send people to spread propaganda everywhere and encourage the people everywhere to resist the Great Xia Army, not asking them to kill the enemy directly, just asking them to destroy the supply line of the Great Xia Army, and constantly harassing them, the Great Xia Army is overwhelmed, and there are problems with the supply, maybe they will withdraw the army." ”
Prince Lokai asked, "Maybe?"
Yunzhong nodded: "Not to mention Great Xia and Kyushu, there are no less than two million soldiers in Liangzhou alone, if Han Sui gets serious, even if Loulan's seven million people are all soldiers, it is not enough for him to stuff his teeth." ”
Prince Luo Kai said indignantly: "Could it be that my Loulan can only die in the country?"
"Both the individual and the country must be strong enough, otherwise autonomy and the right to survive will be in the hands of the strong," Yunzhong said. ”
Luo Kai jerked his head up and looked hard at the clouds.
Yun Zhong sighed: "This is the law of survival." ”
Once upon a time, he lived in another world, with a beautiful and kind wife, husband and wife, who lived a happy and happy life without quarrel with the world, but such a beautiful day was wiped out by some powerful people who had never met with a small button lightly.
The weak, in front of the strong, have no reason to speak.
