I don't know how long it took for the storm to finally stop, but the sky was still a red yellow color, and it would take a long time for the dust to fall to the ground, and although the visibility was not too high, it could be seen clearly from a few hundred feet away.

The bald tree function straightened his waist, shook off the sand and dust on his body, looked around, and could no longer see any trace of the Shu army, obviously had escaped from the encirclement of the Shu army, as for the people around the bald tree function, it was already in chaos, and there were few people.

The bald tree function can secretly say that it is a fluke, after all, in the big sandstorm, if you are not buried alive by the wind and sand, you can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and it is already a very lucky thing to be able to escape from the encirclement of the Shu army.

"Great Chief, I can be regarded as looking for you." Bald Karasuma rushed over panting, the yellow sand dyed the beard under his chin yellow, and the bald Karasuma was as if he had just climbed out of the sand, and when he saw the bald tree function, he couldn't help but scream in surprise when he saw him safe and sound.

The bald tree machine saw that the bald Karasuma had also broken through safely, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and immediately ordered him to search and snare the remnants of the army nearby, and gathered about two or three thousand people, which is probably all the people who broke out of the encirclement, and the remaining tens of thousands of people are estimated to be still trapped in the encirclement or lost in the sandstorm, and the hope of survival should not be too great.

Although he escaped by luck, the thought of the fiasco of the near annihilation of the entire army in this battle made the bald tree function look up to the sky and sigh.

After this battle, the Xianbei people are the elite mourned, and the army that once crisscrossed Hexi has reached the point of surviving, the glory of the past is not there, the glory of the past is not there, and all that is left is a sigh and a sad heart.

Dunhuang Taishou Ma Xun also escaped, but the 2,000 cavalry he brought was not as lucky as the Xianbei people, almost all of them were folded in the encirclement, Ma Xun was disgraced, embarrassed, and completely lost the usual elegant temperament.

"Bald chief, or ...... Let's go back to Dunhuang City first, and then let's take care of it. Ma Xun saw that there were not many Xianbei people left, and the defeat in this battle was miserable enough, and it was estimated that he didn't have those abilities if he wanted to fight again, so he suggested withdrawing first.

There was no other good way to function the bald tree, so I had to follow Ma Xun's advice, retreat back to Dunhuang first, and find a place to live. Considering that the pursuit of the Shu army was imminent, this place was by no means a place to stay for a long time, and the bald tree function immediately checked the remnants, identified the direction of Dunhuang, and walked all the way.

Along the way, you can also incorporate the Xianbei cavalry that escaped from the encirclement and scattered to various places, but there is no majority of people in numbers, and the Xianbei cavalry is already scattered.

Finally saw the tall city wall of Dunhuang, Ma Xun only then recovered some of his prestige as the Dunhuang guard, he ordered a few soldiers around him to go to Dunhuang City to call the door.

In order to ensure the safety of Dunhuang City, Han Zhi decided to close the city gate day and night, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving the city gate, so as to prevent spies from entering.

The soldiers immediately rushed to the city and shouted loudly to the Jin army defending the city. However, no matter how these soldiers shouted, the city was as if it was dead, no figure could be seen, no sound could be heard, the soldiers almost shouted their throats, and there was still no movement in the city. The soldiers had no choice but to go back to report to Ma Xun.

Ma Xun is also very strange, although in order to prevent the spies of the Shu people, he ordered Han Zhi to strictly guard the city, but there is no reason for his own soldiers to go to call the door, but it is difficult that something happened in the city? Or has the Shu army already detoured to the flank, and has taken Dunhuang one step ahead of the Jin army?

However, Ma Xun saw the good banner of the word "Jin" still fluttering on the head of the city, which proved that Dunhuang City was still in the hands of the Jin army.

The horse marched forward and shouted loudly at the city: "Where is Han Changshi? ”

At this time, a head poked out from the battlement of the city wall, of course Ma Xun recognized that he was Gongcao Zhang Ji, but when he saw Zhang Ji, he smiled and said: "Ma Taishou only remembers Han Zhi, but he doesn't remember calling Zhang." ”

When Ma Xun left, all the officials in Dunhuang City didn't bring a few, and Zhang Ji naturally stayed in the city, led by Han Zhi.

"It turned out to be Zhang Gongcao, where is Han Changshi?" Although Ma Xun was puzzled, he still asked him.

Zhang Ji laughed and said: "Ma Taishou wants to see Han Zhi, what's so difficult about this!" As he spoke, he suddenly flew down from the city wall and smashed it at Ma Xun, but fortunately Ma Xun reacted well, and he dodged away at the first time, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the thing was a bloody human head, and the human head was not someone else's, it was Han Zhi's.

Ma Xun was shocked and said: "Zhang Gongcao, you-you dare to kill Changshi Han Zhi without permission?" ”

Zhang Ji shouted: "Ma Taishou, you colluded with the Xianbei people, and wanted to sacrifice the city to the Xianbei people, this is a great rebellion, although a certain is not talented, but also knows the hatred of the country and the family, the Xianbei people have repeatedly violated my border, killed countless people, and plundered the nature, since the Taishou is willing to associate with these people, the heart of the enemy is clearly revealed, today a certain temporary Dunhuang Taishou position, as for your lackey Han Zhi, has been beheaded by me, the head is here, you appreciate it slowly." ”

Ma Xun said angrily: "Piff, you dare to do this!" ”

Zhang Ji did not pay attention to Ma Xun's angry scolding, a comfortable appearance, since Ma Xun led the troops away, Zhang Ji expected that Ma Xun and the bald tree function would undoubtedly fail, so he secretly mobilized the people of the headquarters, on the grounds of negotiating the defense of the city, deceived Han Zhi to Zhang's mansion to kill him, and seized the seal of Taishou left by Ma Xun, and seized the command of the defenders.

Zhang Ji was firmly opposed to cooperating with the Xianbei people, at this time Ma Xun and the Xianbei people united to deal with the Shu army, Zhang Ji thought that they were doomed, and if he didn't want to give them a funeral, he had to take the initiative to take action.

Ma Xun was furious, discussed with the bald tree function, and immediately sent Xianbei soldiers to attack Dunhuang.

Obviously, Zhang Ji had been prepared, and a bang sounded, and the city immediately rained arrows. The Xianbei people had just escaped from the encirclement of the Shu army, exhausted, and lacked a large number of siege equipment, facing Dunhuang City, which had strong defensive capabilities, from that point of view, it was an impossible task.

The Xianbei people were trapped under the city of Dunhuang and fell into a dilemma........................ (To be continued.) )
