While Nie Ze was meditating, a stream of light suddenly flew from the eastern sky and landed next to Nie Ze in the blink of an eye.
"Why did you come back? What's the situation over there now?"
Nie Ze looked at Han Yun who suddenly appeared in front of him and asked curiously.
A rare anger appeared in Han Yun's eyes, and then he sighed and said,
"Most of the enemies have been eliminated, but the trouble is that they are really good at hiding.
There were not many of them, they only came in small groups. They would cause trouble in one place, killing people when they saw them, robbing things when they saw them, and burning whatever they could not take away with them when they were full.
They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. The eradication was very slow and might not be completed within a few days.
Even if most of them are eliminated, there will still be a small amount left that can poison one party and cause trouble in the future."
"Alas, we were wrong from the beginning. We used conventional thinking to judge the enemy's future movements, thinking that the enemy would definitely die if they ran out of food. However, we underestimated the potential of people when they are on the verge of despair.
They will die, but they won’t let us live easily.”
Nie Ze sighed.
Han Yun waved his hand and said,
"The common people are unarmed and find it difficult to fight against the skirmishers and bandits. When they see those Loulan people, they always want to escape and cannot form effective resistance.
Just relying on us to send people to suppress them will not be able to kill them all, and it will also drag down our military strength.
I came back to discuss with you and Chief Qi. The magistrates of the two counties ordered the people to mobilize and ask them to actively search and kill the Loulan people. Each Loulan person's head can be exchanged for one tael of silver.
This money will come from my share of the tax revenue from the two counties, and will be directly distributed by the government."
Upon hearing this, Nie Ze's eyes lit up and he immediately said,
"This is a good idea, so that the people will spontaneously unite and actively search for the enemy and hunt them for money, which is much better than running away when they see the Loulan people before.
Driven by both interests and hatred, they will definitely do it. The number of people is much larger than our army. They don't have to bear the burden of food, grass and other supplies. They are also locals and don't have to travel long distances. This plan is very clever.
ah."
Han Yun nodded. He got the inspiration from "Kill Hu Ling", and there was no other way.
You can't just watch all the people die at the hands of the Loulan people.
"It's also our fault that we didn't prevent the enemy's crazy counterattack in advance. The enemy couldn't help us, so they vented their anger on the people.
If I had thought of it before, I would have gone to the enemy camp and killed them that night."
After speaking, Han Yun pointed to the Hami army outside and asked,
"What's going on?"
At that moment, Nie Ze told Han Yun everything about the other party's conspiracy.
After hearing this, Han Yun frowned and said,
"The Hami Kingdom is also looking for death? They shouldn't be so obsessed with it. The west is their land, and they can continuously deliver food to them.
It’s impossible to finish all the food you brought in one day, and you can’t run out of food, so why bother?”
Nie Ze smiled bitterly and said,
"Then I don't know. I hope I can finally catch the enemy's commander and ask him. I have ordered the entire army to assemble. All the 150,000 troops in the city will be dispatched to confront the enemy head-on and strive to completely annihilate the enemy."
"But that would be too much of a loss. 150,000 infantrymen versus 100,000 people. We are mainly attacking and the enemy is mainly defending. The field advantage is not great.
If you want to annihilate them all, the best way is to surround them without attacking them and trap them to death.
That won’t work. Fifteen thousand people are scattered and surrounded, resulting in weak defenses. The enemy can completely concentrate their forces to break out, but we have no time to concentrate our forces..."
At this point, Han Yun suddenly stopped talking, and then he laughed dumbly and said,
"I'm really pissed off that I'm actually here discussing how to fight with you."
Nie Ze has black lines all over his head.
Now that the enemy is approaching the border, you, a military commander, and I, a military commander, cannot discuss how to fight a war. What should we discuss?
Han Yun patted Nie Ze on the shoulder and said,
"Don't let the army leave the city. Just leave the 100,000 people outside to me."
"Leave it to you?"
Nie Ze was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized and remembered something.
Han Yun has always given Nie Ze the impression that he is an extremely powerful second-grade martial artist, a humble and courteous master of hostility, a high-ranking and powerful marquis, and a person who has created various formations to strengthen Yumen Pass.
Shi is a wise man who spends money like water just to build the strongest army to protect his family and country.
These are the impressions Han Yun left on Nie Ze.
Nie Ze forgot for a moment that Han Yun was also the best Taoist in the world.
Other second-level experts may not be able to defeat an army of 100,000, but Han Yun is different.
Han Yun stood up and flew down.
A few miles away from the east of the city, the army of the Hami Kingdom was still shouting and cursing, asking these cowards from the Dachuan Kingdom to come out and fight them to the death. The curses were very unpleasant.
Ganbul, the commander-in-chief of the Hami Kingdom, was in the middle of the army. Looking at the neatly arranged military formations, he knew that he was bound to die. There was not much food and grass left for him in the country. If he withdrew his troops, the monarch would not be able to pass the test.
The troops at Yumen Pass will also hunt them down, and they will still be dead.
His food and fodder had been given to Talmu and could no longer support his return.
The only thing he looks forward to now is to use the 100,000 troops in his hands to fight a fair battle with the Dachuan Kingdom, fight to the death, and consume half of the soldiers and horses in Yumen Pass.
He left behind a posthumous reputation of being loyal and loyal to his country and risking his own life.
However, after waiting for a long time, he did not wait for Dachuan's army, but instead waited for the figure in white floating in the sky.
That’s Zhenbei Hou Han Yun!
As a commander-in-chief, he collects intelligence about the enemy's strong men and generals. This is his basic quality.
"Archers prepare!"
Ganbul shouted loudly, and following his order, all the archers unfurled their bows and aimed their arrows at the sky.
Ganbul felt uneasy. He knew that Han Yun was very strong and a second-level strongman, but he didn't know how strong he was because he had never seen a second-level strongman.
But he also knew that no matter how strong a warrior was, he could not withstand an army of 100,000 people.
As long as Han Yun dares to come down, even one hundred thousand people can grind him to death.
But what he was worried about was what if Han Yun destroyed his formation and the defenders in Yumen Pass took the opportunity to attack. The army whose formation was destroyed would be unable to resist the enemy's attack.
However, Ganbul's worries were completely unnecessary. The troops in Yumen Pass could not come out to attack them, and Han Yun could not go down to attack their military formation.
Before Han Yun arrived, the eight beads in his hand exploded and flew over the heads of the Hami army at extremely fast speeds. Then, they quickly formed a Bagua array and surrounded all the 100,000-strong army.
