Chapter 612 Description of the Scientific Society (3)

Chai Zhewei was furious and immediately ordered all countries to send troops to kill Hujiangu City.

This is a coalition of various countries and a huge army. Since defeating the Turks and entering the Western Regions, this is the first time that the Tang Dynasty has summoned so many people in the Western Regions.

This army covered the sky and the sun, and marched towards Xiye Kingdom like a sandstorm. They first came to the southern part of Shule Kingdom for temporary residence. After gathering troops from Khotan, sand, Wulei and other countries, they advanced directly eastward into the desert.

They first passed an abandoned city, and the Shule people said that this was Zihe City.

Chai Zhewei ordered the army to set up camp in Zihe City. He patrols the city and discovers a strange phenomenon.

According to previous certificates, the place has been abandoned for three years, and the three years of wind and sand have caused the houses in the city to collapse. Chai Zhewei found that most of the daily necessities here were left, but the stove was empty.

He called Shule people and Shache people, the two great powers closest to Xiye. He asked these people if the Xiye army would take away all the pots and pans of various countries whenever they went there.

People from both countries said that it seemed. At this time, people from the Thunder Country stood up and spoke.

Wu Lei was invaded by Xiye. Although he saved the country, several towns were looted. Wu Lei's generals were so angry that they said that the Xiye people did not kidnap pots and pans, but only kidnap pots!

——Xiye people are no longer a thing! We have recovered the city and can’t even eat hot food!

On the fifth day of the ninth lunar month of the first year of Yonghui, the coalition forces set off from Zihe Wucheng and continued to advance towards Hujiangu City.

According to Wu Lei Kingdom, who once fought with Xiye, Xiye Kingdom had a special army called the "Yelid Regiment". This Xiao is the elid of the mountain mandrill, not a special cut for people.

The mandrills are legendary monsters. They are masked and can tear apart tigers and leopards with bare hands. The "rudrillers" in Xiye are also wearing masks that deceive their facial features. They move quickly and have infinite power. Wherever they go, they can fight against a hundred. Although the country of Xiye is small, it is precisely because of the mandrillers that they annexed the Three Kingdoms in just one year and dominate the western corner.

Therefore, Chai Zhewei was very cautious all the way. He did not urge the army to move quickly, but avoided the complex terrain and marched along the road in a grand manner. At the same time, he also strengthened his vigilance against the commander's tent, "Lin Jianer and more than 300 people were guarding the tent."

But along the way, he was safe and sound. He had never encountered any mandrills, and he didn't even notice a scout from Xiye Kingdom. The army arrived, and he had no wind and waves at all.

Just walked and stopped like this. On September 14, the coalition forces of various countries in the Western Regions finally arrived at the city of Hujiangu.

This time, there were 10,000 people in the coalition, but it was claimed to be 50,000. In contrast, although Xiye Kingdom claimed to be 10,000 people, there were actually less than 1,000 people who could take up weapons to resist, and the remaining two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people.

"The heavenly soldiers are full of camp, like sand. The three armies shout, and the sound is like thunder. They correct the evil spirits and drive away the sky. A country that loses its way will destroy the city at night."

Ten thousand people immediately surrounded the small Hujiangu City, and in the original words on the document, it was "The siege of the city is like a cage net, and birds and beasts cannot enter."

It was almost dusk when the siege was completed. Deputy General Asansheer believed that the power was disparity and the attack was hasty at this time. But Chai Zhewei decided to attack again at dawn the next day.

The document records a sentence Chai Zhewei said in the military discussion.

"Let the evil and charming people see my heavenly power, and may not fight against the soldiers who are in the forefront."

Of course, compared to the following sentence, this is more like a decent sentence, because he gave a few more instructions.

"Looking at the demonic golems in the city, the demonic aura is full of white bones, and the evil atmosphere is Zhang Tian. If there is any incident of Lei Yan Mountain Mandrill, the soldiers and generals should not take off their armor, sleep with their spears, do not be lazy or ignore them, and prevent night attacks."

Ashin Ser was originally a prince of the Eastern Turkic Republic. He even called him Khan. Later, he failed in the Turkic internal struggle and defected to the Tang Dynasty and became his son-in-law. When Guo Xiaoke died in Kucha, the Tang army had no leader for a while, but the deputy marshal Ashin Ser suppressed the situation and pacified Kucha, Khotan and other countries.

She'er was a veteran all his life, so he knew Chai Zhewei's intentions. He sent the orders to let the soldiers lit the torches, making the desert bright as daylight.

"Additional scouts, watching all night, knowing everything about movement and stillness."

These scouts were looking at the sand dunes. Although the night was confused, because it was nearly fifteen years old, the moonlight was like water, illuminating the lonely city.

They were surprised to find that the Xiye people were completely indifferent to the siege outside, and they were still busy on the statue. These people placed a huge head on the neck of the statue at night, and then worked on it, drawing eyebrows and eyes on the statue.

——Are these people crazy? Aren’t they afraid that the country will be destroyed tomorrow? Maybe they will have no intention of confrontation when the heavenly soldiers arrive here. I am afraid that when the horn sounds tomorrow, these madmen will open the city gate and kneel down to beg for mercy?

The scouts looked at the guard post all night. In the second half of the night, the moon set and the wind blew, sand and dust filled. Hujiangu could no longer see clearly. They were afraid that the enemy would attack, so they had to concentrate on the four gates of the small city.

The sky in the east gradually turned white, and the autumn morning in the desert was still a little cold. The wind slowly stopped and the vision gradually became wider, but the scouts suddenly discovered that the entire Hujiangu City was empty and there was no one!

They told Sheer the news in surprise. But Chai Zhewei was still afraid of sneak attacks, so the Tang army was cautious to send a thousand advance teams into the city.

As expected, there were no soldiers guarding the city gate. After the advance team entered the city, they found that "the streets and alleys were neatly arranged, the market was solemn. The stove was not cold, and the remaining wine was still warm." This shows that the people of Xiye were not panicked at all, but disappeared in a calm and orderly situation.

Chai Zhewei and Ashinaser also led their troops into the city. They mobilized all the soldiers to search everywhere in Hujiangu City, but still no one was found.

The Tang army surrounded Xiye Kingdom all night last night, and the scouts were all watching the city gates. It was impossible for the people of Xiye Kingdom to take the opportunity to escape. Moreover, in this soft and scattered desert, using authentic methods would not work.

Did you escape underground?

Chai Zhewei immediately sent an order to search every inch of land in the city and be sure to find the entrance to the cellar. But just as the Tang army was taking action, a gust of demonic wind suddenly blew over.

"The evil demons of the sky fell down in response to the wind. The destroyed houses and a corner of the city wall was also a devastating destruction. The demon's head fell down obliquely and fell into the lake. The wind and sand were shaking, and the heavenly soldiers were shocked. Qiao Guogong ordered his troops to go to the army. In half a day, the Xiye City was covered by yellow sand. It used to be a city on earth, and it suddenly became a city under the sand."

Even so, Chai Zhewei was still unwilling to give up. Two days later, he sent the scout to check in. The scout came back and reported-

"The sandy mountain is towering, and the tiles are gone."
