Volume 5 [Blood Moon Demon Sorrow] 408: Battle Xiao Wins Lianke Twin Cities

At the beginning of July of that year, in order to regain the imperial power in the Western Regions, Damuti led the Black Dragon Legion westward. Fight head-to-head with the army of the Western Regions led by Xiao Sheng. Condensation Xiang used the jade seal of the Western Regions to fabricate the crime, saying that Princess Damuti openly rebelled against the Western Regions and used the Ming army to invade the Western Regions. For a time, the soldiers and civilians of the Western Regions were disappointed in the princess, and they shouted and scolded one after another.

Even though Damuti didn't want to kill the people of the Western Regions, he was charged with treason for collaborating with the enemy, which shows that these people of the Western Regions do not distinguish between right and wrong, and will only follow the crowd. In the end, he made up his mind, and the six relatives did not admit it, and vowed to recapture the Western Regions by force, and set rules for these ignorant people.

Her repression at all costs made the hatred of the people of the Western Regions towards her more and more intense, and the hostility and fear of her gradually increased. The intensification of the contradictions brought bitterness and hatred to both sides, and the disaster of death quickly spread from the border of the Western Regions to the entire territory of the Western Regions. With the full support of Lu Feiyan and Mao Xiaoxian, Damuti conquered Tass City in one fell swoop.

The city of Tas, which had just returned to calm for only a few years, was once again trampled to a pulp. Life after life hung on the sandy walls, and blood stained the ruined gates. The slaughtered soldiers attracted a swarm of stinky flies and flew in pairs over the bloody and rotting corpses.

Xiao Sheng retreated all the way west and retreated to Hansha City. Hansha City was backed by the Shahe Dam, and Damuti did not dare to pursue it. The terrain of Shaheba is uneven, and the passage is long and narrow, so it is easy to be surrounded by ambushes. He simply stopped his troops in Tass City for three days, and prepared to meet the enemy before marching to Hunsa.

Mao Xiaoxian ordered his subordinates to clean up the city of Tas, burn it, bury it, and the smoke after the war was lit in many places outside the city, and the black smoke column soared into the sky around this desert castle. Countless corpses were reduced to nothing in the billowing smoke, and thousands of ghosts were scattered under the scorching sun.

Lu Feiyan led some soldiers to treat the wounded in the city, and this little loss did not frustrate the Black Dragon soldiers, but inspired everyone's hatred for Xiao Sheng's army.

Damuti encircled the captives and refugees of the city of Tas, and he himself stood on a high platform to preach to them.

"The hundreds of years of peace and prosperity in the Western Regions were all created by the Damu family. My father, King Damuk, was diligent in his administration and loved the people, and governed with benevolence and righteousness. My imperial uncle Damchar is strict with himself and treats the people well. My two elder brothers, Damu Khan and Damu Er, also spent their lives fighting for peace in the Western Regions. The Damu family has taken so many lives for hundreds of millions of people, and now you don't know how to be grateful, and you still follow Xiao Sheng to betray me! It's a shame for the Western Regions to have you people who don't know what to do!"

When the captives heard this, they were all annoyed and angry, and some of the stubborn ones shouted: "Obviously, you colluded with the Ming Dynasty and betrayed the Western Regions first." Killed so many soldiers in the Western Regions, and kept saying that the Damu family was benevolent and loved the people?"

Another person followed suit and protested: "Yes, you have already married someone from the Ming Dynasty, and you are no longer the princess of the Western Regions." He snorted on his own and carried the Daming wolf dog with his own weight. Now that he has come back to kill his own people, he is simply a lackey who eats inside and out, and we don't have a leader like you!"

The two took the lead in bewitching, and the audience was boiling: "Yes! She is the lackey of the Ming Dynasty, and we must not give in to her! General Xiao just couldn't get used to seeing the Damu family oppressing the people, so he invited Leng Counselor to resist the tyranny. If you hadn't offended the Shakya leader back then, you wouldn't have caused so many wars. ”

In the face of everyone, Damuti himself is also difficult to argue. These people have been completely brainwashed by Condensing Incense's royal order, and have blatantly betrayed the rule of the Damu family. In a fit of rage, Damuti ordered all of them to be killed. More than 10,000 captives fell victim to the struggle for power.

Baili Xingyun received a war report and heard that Damti had executed prisoners of war in the Western Regions, on the one hand, he understood Damti's helpless move, and on the other hand, he was also worried about the boiling resentment of the people in the Western Regions.

When Condensing Xiang heard this, he was very happy, and immediately repaired the book and Xiao Sheng, and asked him to dispatch the 100,000 troops stationed in Mobei to rush to the Western Regions. She was worried that there was no reason to kill Damuti, and Damuti slaughtered more than 10,000 soldiers in the Western Regions, just giving herself a chance to justify Mobei to set foot in the Western Regions.

When Xiao Sheng got the news, he immediately followed the instructions of the prime minister and trumpeted Damuti's evil deeds to incite public resentment. And with the greatest vigour, he mourned the dead captives, taking the opportunity to stir up the hatred of the people and increase the criticism of Damuti.

He said to the soldiers: "Damuti collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country and brutalized the people of the Western Regions. We must get rid of this traitor, even if there is only one soldier left, we must fight to the end. Eradicate the tyrant and return a peace to the Western Regions. ”

The soldiers below all picked up their weapons and raised their arms and shouted: "Eliminate the tyrant, An Limin! Eliminate the tyrant, An Limin......"

Xiao Sheng stretched out his arms and motioned for the soldiers to be quiet. The huge momentum died down in an instant, and the cries of the crowd calmed down. He pinched his waist and encouraged everyone: "I know your feelings, I will never disappoint everyone's expectations, and vow to seek justice for those soldiers who died in vain." A few days ago, I have already written to Counselor Leng that Mobei will form an alliance with the Western Regions in the near future. Once the Mobei Allied forces arrive, we can turn defeat into victory, fight back, and annihilate Damuti in one fell swoop. As soon as these words came out, the soldiers were greatly encouraged.

On the third day, Xian'er and Lu Feiyan led 20,000 soldiers to break through Hansha City. In order to preserve his strength, Xiao Sheng waited for reinforcements from Mobei, avoided fighting, and chose to retreat to Shaheba. He knew that he was not the opponent of Lu Feiyan and Mao Xiaoxian, but fortunately, the 100,000 troops in Mobei were already on the way here, as long as he took the lead in entering Shaheba and setting up an ambush in the area of Shaheba, Damuti would not dare to chase after him.

And Damuti relied on the courage of Lu Feiyan and Mao Xiaoxian, and won the two cities of Tass and Hansha in a row.

However, when the soldiers and civilians of Hanza City heard that the captives of Tass City had been mercilessly slaughtered by Princess Damuti, they were terrified and fled with their money and property. Half of them took refuge with Xiao Sheng, and half of them went to the Imperial City of Ansai.

Although the Black Dragon Legion led by Sanshanmen was brave, it was inevitable that it would lose its troops and lose its generals in the war. The people of the Western Regions who fled were bewitched by rumors from all sides and defected to Xiao Sheng's camp one after another. The strength of the two sides has decreased from strength to strength, and the number of Xiao Sheng's men and horses has skyrocketed in just two days. The young refugees hated Damuti for destroying their homes and massacring the people of the Western Regions, and they all took up their names.

Lu Feiyan's heart was as careful as dust, and when she saw this change, she couldn't help but start worrying. Several times to dissuade Damuti and let her not disappoint the people. The fate of offending the people can only make the people turn against each other and blindly tend to Xiao Sheng.

Damuti has experienced a hundred battles, and of course knows this truth. But these soldiers from the Western Regions who don't know what to do are forced to kill their husbands, and now they have deviated from the control of the Damu family. After years of hard work, she was once denied by these white-eyed wolves, how could she be willing?

Damuti has fought for the people of the Western Regions since he was a child, and the Damu family has exchanged the sacrifices of several generations for peace in the Western Regions. For the long-term peace and stability of the Western Regions, several generations of people threw their heads and spilled their blood, and the horse leather shrouded was returned. Unexpectedly, these people not only did not know how to be grateful, but listened to the instigation of condensing incense, and would rather die than fight themselves to the end. If you don't teach them a lesson, how can you be worthy of your dead father, uncle, and husband who died in vain?

"Fifth sister, I led troops to fight when I was a teenager, how could I not know what the people wanted? These Diao people have no position, if I don't give them some warnings, even if I defeat Xiao Sheng's army, what will happen? How many people will really surrender to me?

No one can be ruthless, no family can be ownerless, no country can be impossible, and no grace can be excessive. There are no rules, this time I not only want to recover the Western Regions, but I also want to stand up. We will never let these people ruin the foundation of the Western Regions for hundreds of years. ”

However, now public opinion is troubled, and the people are complaining. Condensation incense used the jade seal in his hand to manipulate/manipulate the imperial power and occupy the moral high ground. Our wanton killing will only make the people's resentment boil even more in the end. Some of those soldiers still have wives and children at home, and some of them still have high halls in their hometowns. Once we are infamous on our backs, we are afraid that we will never be able to wash it off. Lu Feiyan was still worried.

Xian'er said: "Fifth sister, we are here to help the fourth sister, and now the fourth sister is the boss, and we must obey everything." I think the fourth sister is right, these Diao people are not worthy of pity at all. Since ancient times, which emperor did not rely on killing to reach the throne? The eldest sister once said, 'Those who achieve great things will fight for a hundred years, and they will not fight for a breath', and I believe that many years later, the people of the Western Regions will know the good intentions of the fourth sister. Rather than let them blindly obey Condensation Incense and finally become cannon fodder for her to usurp the world, it is better to make an example of them and cut off their thoughts of treason. ”

Lu Feiyan had nothing to say when she heard this: "Hey! This Xiao Sheng is really confused." He clearly knew what was right and who was wrong, and he still led these innocent people to take refuge in Condensation Incense. According to me, the thief captures the king first. Instead of attacking the city on a large scale and making the people's lives miserable, it is better to capture Xiao Sheng at night and let them surrender automatically. ”

Xian'er agreed: "This is a good idea, with the three of us, it shouldn't be difficult to catch Xiao Sheng." As long as you find out where he is hiding, you can't catch him?"

"It's useless! When the two sides fight, they can capture the king and win. However, now all the soldiers and civilians in the Western Regions are pouring into the condensation incense, even if they arrest Xiao Sheng, it is useless. Condensation incense will definitely set up a new person, and one Xiao Sheng will die, and I don't know how many 'Xiao Sheng' will emerge later. Xiao Sheng is just a pawn of Condensation Incense, or even an insignificant pawn, which is not worth our attention to arrest at all. If we want to regain power in the Western Regions, we can only win the final victory by controlling all the territories of the Western Regions. ”

"In that case, then what are we waiting for? If you can't capture the king, then attack it. Fight all over the cities of the Western Regions and go straight to the Ansai Palace. The sooner you take it, the better, so as not to be angry with those people. Those who descended forgave their sins, and those who resisted were all pulled and cut down!" said Xian'er.

Damuti was a little sad: "I'm not waiting, I'm thinking about how to install the dam of the Sha River." There are hundreds of miles of yellow sand in that place, and there is only one sheep intestine road for business travelers. The passage is narrow and long, and once Xiao Sheng sets up an ambush there, we will definitely fall for it. Even if we can escape, it will be a lifetime of death, and we will definitely lose our vitality. In the event of annihilation, all the preparations we have made before will be in vain......"

"It turns out that the fourth sister is worried about this!" Lu Feiyan came up with a plan and said: "I have a way to β€”β€” what is the most important thing in the Western Regions? There is a large pasture near the sheep slope, and there are thousands of cattle and sheep! If we use the herd to guide the way, let the herd act as a pawn and run all the way." Even if Xiao Sheng and them set up an ambush at Shahe Dam, we can catch him by surprise and catch him off guard. ”

When Damuti heard this, he clapped his hands and praised: "Yes, Fifth Sister, you are so clever! This is indeed a clever planβ€”β€” Xian'er? You immediately order all the soldiers to go to the vicinity of Tass and Hansa to recruit herdsmen, and then divide a group of soldiers to go to Yangtun Bend." In two days at the latest, we will rely on these cattle and sheep to explore the Shahe Dam and take Xiao Sheng's army in one fell swoop!"

After two more days, Xiao Sheng had nothing to do in the Shaheba camp, drinking and drinking. Needless to say, the anxiety and irritability in my heart are waiting for the arrival of the Mobei army, and I look forward to it more than a single son marrying a daughter-in-law. In the past five days, in addition to waiting, he has already ambushed 10,000 elite soldiers along the Shahe Dam. In order to prevent Damuti from suddenly attacking.
