Wedge (1) Demon City(2/2)
"The ruler of the world is to save all living beings. The national master said that the ugly and fierce Asura god will trample on earth, kill all men, take away all women, and turn all oasis into desert. And our god is Asura's nemesis. Only when he comes to earth can he stop Asura's plunder."
"Asura, are the Asuras among the six realms?" asked Yi Kang.
The store nodded with fear.
"What about your king?"
"King? Xiye now has no king, only the national teacher. The king is dead, and the heads of the king and the queen are now stepping on the feet of the statue and have become the foundation."
"So...you kill people for God..." Yi Kang asked tremblingly.
"They killed the wrong person." The store owner suddenly said.
"What?" B Kang said in surprise.
"It's too urgent, so I killed the wrong person. People need to be killed, but they are not killed like this. Therefore, Xiye Kingdom will suffer disaster."
Yuchi Yikang wanted to ask again, but the shop had already stood up. He patted the sand on his body and threw the trouser bag and a bag of Hu cakes next to Yuchi Yikang.
"The caravan shouldn't die, you go." After saying this, the shopkeeper strode towards the donkey cart.
Yuchi Yikang watched the shop drive the donkey cart away towards Hujiangu. He drank water, ate half a piece of Hu cake, and began to stumble towards Yutian again. Six days later, he lost his way in the desert again. Just as he was dying, a passing camel caravan saved him. After he woke up, he kept shouting three words-
"I am Yuchi Yikang, the prince of Khotan. I am going to Kucha, and I am going to pay homage to the Lord Protector from the Tang Dynasty! Xiye Kingdom began to believe in the Demon Sect, and they began to eat people!"
Chai Zhewei recalled the Yuchi Yikang, and he came to Kucha in a daze and told him about the changes in Xiye Kingdom. As the Anxi Protector of the Tang Dynasty, he had to summon the countries in the Western Regions to send troops to attack Xiye Kingdom.
The Tang army made meals at Yin hour the next day, and after dinner, they prepared their troops. At the time of Mao hour, they finally sounded the horn of siege. A team of tens of thousands of people squeezed towards Hujiangu City in a dark place.
It was already dawn, and Chai Zhewei rode his horse outside the city gate of Hujiangu. He saw black flags waving on the city tower, and a red lotus embroidered on it.
Asunasel also rode his horse slowly over. He pointed to the city tower and said, "Duke, there seems to be no movement in the city."
Chai Zhewei waved his hand.
"Order the siege. By the way, you must leave a living place. I want to know what happened in Xiye."
Asansheer nodded, he raised his arms high, and ordered the soldiers to wave the flag. In an instant, the drums sounded loudly and the horns were clamoring.
Tens of thousands of Tang troops shouted and rushed towards the city gate of Xiye Kingdom, but they did not encounter resistance.
The city gate was knocked open by a broken city hammer, and the Tang army rushed into Hujiangu. Like what Yuchi Yikang saw, they were also facing an empty street, and the houses on both sides had already been demolished. It seemed that everything had been taken to build the statue.
The Tang army entered the city from four directions, and almost every household searched through it, but still could not find a figure.
"Go over the statue!" Asansheer thought that he saw thousands of people busy at the statue at dusk yesterday, and probably they were there now, so he shouted.
Tang Jun roared again and rushed towards the center of the city, which was originally the location of Xiye Palace and the Great Buddha Temple. Now the Buddhist Temple has been destroyed, and the statue of the unfinished giant demon god stands on the original site.
The construction site was in chaos. Many bricks, tiles and mud were piled under the statue, and there were piles of bones and heads next to it. The entire construction site was stinking.
But no one. The thousands of Xiye people who were busy on the statue last night seemed to have lost their trace overnight. However, the Tang army surrounded the entire Hujiangu City like an iron barrel last night, and it was impossible for anyone to escape, let alone thousands of people who escaped together.
Chai Zhewei also rushed over. He stood at the foot of the statue and looked up, and was surprised to find that the stripes on the demon's legs were actually human bones.
At this moment, a gust of demonic wind suddenly came. Chai Zhe was so scared that he looked up and saw a strong wind blowing in the flowing sand. The overwhelming yellow sand hit the city like a devil's cry with the strong wind.
The Tang army surrounded them were also frightened. They looked at the statue full of bones and skeletons, and looked at the yellow sand covering the sky and the sun, and retreated in fear. Chai Zhewei began to worry. Once tens of thousands of troops became chaotic in the narrow city, the scene of stepping on each other was simply unimaginable.
At the critical moment, Asansheer stepped forward. He rode his war horse and rushed to the material table in front of the statue, shouting in a loud bell-
"Brothers, don't be afraid. Only by destroying the golem can everyone be safe!"
Self-rescue is an innate ability for everyone. Ashin Sheer knew that when the morale of the army was low, it was necessary to set a common goal for the soldiers that could achieve, otherwise they would be defeated thousands of miles away.
The panicked Tang army heard the general's shout and gradually stabilized its position and began to rush towards the statue of white bones under the wind and sand.
Ashin'er rushed off the platform and led the guards to protect Chai Zhewei. He rode his horse again and shouted to the soldiers who were digging the legs of the statue in all directions:
"Don't move around, dig in one direction, and avoid the rest!"
The wind and sand were even stronger, and people were blown away so hard that they could not open their eyes or their mouths. Chai Zhewei, who had already calmed down, ordered all the ceremonial flags to be removed, and Ashinasheer also ordered the soldiers to bring down the flags. The entire army hid in the city, relied on the remaining buildings in the city to form a formation of the fog moon, and digged the statue's feet in the direction of the wind vent.
Chai Zhewei was always worried. He was worried that the thousands of Xiye people who disappeared in the iron barrel formation would suddenly appear and attack the Tang army, which was a bit like a frightened bird. But in the end, the Xiye people did not come out. They really seemed to have evaporated and didn't know where they disappeared.
Chai Zhewei used his hands to block the wind and sand. He looked up at the unfinished huge statue, and suddenly a terrifying thought came to his mind.
Did the people of Xiye hide in this giant statue?
