Chapter 1096: Night Attack on Dunhuang City

On the evening of the second day after entering the mountainous area, Li Yuntian summoned the generals of the army to discuss the direction of the next move.

According to Li Yuntian's original plan, after throwing off the pursuing enemy troops in the mountains, he would turn around and march westward, exit the mountain through the exit on the west side of the mountains, and sneak attack the ancient city of Dunhuang.

However, since Wen did not send troops to pursue, Li Yuntian changed his previous battle plan and prepared to go out from the mountain pass on the west side of the mountain as soon as possible and take down the ancient city of Dunhuang.

"Lord Lord, we caught two spies in the nearby mountains and are spying on our army's camp." Just as Li Yuntian was assigning combat tasks to the generals, a guard entered the camp and shouted a loud announcement.

"Oh?" Li Yuntian suddenly felt a little surprised when he heard this, could it be that Wen Du sent an agent to follow him? Then he said quietly, "Bring them up." ”

Soon, two unkempt and ragged young men from Kansai were brought up and knelt in front of Li Yuntian with a nervous expression.

"Who are you?" Li Yuntian glanced at the two of them, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice in Kansai.

"Lord Yu, the two of us are local people, because we fled into the mountains to escape the war, because we were so hungry that we couldn't stand it, so we wanted to come and find something to eat, but we were arrested before we could get close."

The young man with the Chinese character face kneeling on the left hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuntian when he heard this, and begged with sincere fear, "Please spare my life, I won't dare to wait any longer." ”

"The eldest lord spares his life!" The round-faced Kansai youth on the right also kowtowed there when he heard this, and begged for mercy together.

"Since you are the people who have fled, is there anyone else here?" Seeing this, Li Yuntian groaned for a moment and asked.

"This ......" The two young men from Kansai couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and then looked like they wanted to speak and stopped, as if they had scruples in their hearts and didn't believe Li Yuntian.

"This lord is the loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty, don't be afraid, just say whatever you want?" Seeing this, Tianyi, who was standing on the side behind Li Yuntian, opened his mouth and said to the two Kansai youths, and he could see that the two Kansai youths did not trust Li Yuntian.

"Loyalty...... King Chungmu? You are the King of Loyalty, who has won a great victory in Sunset Valley! Hearing this, the young man with the Chinese character on the left couldn't help but light up in his eyes, and looked at Li Yuntian in surprise, looking incredulous.

"It is this king, if you have something to say, just say it, don't be restrained." Li Yuntian smiled slightly and nodded to the young man in Kansai with a national character.

"King Zhongwu, you have to call the shots for us, our home is gone, and our relatives have been killed by those enemy soldiers." The young man in Guanxi was stunned for a moment, feeling that Li Yuntian didn't seem to be lying, tears suddenly burst out of his eyes, and he touched the ground with his head with a bang, and said to Li Yuntian crying.

"Lord Wang, my whole family has been killed, you want to avenge me." The round-faced Kansai youth on the right also reacted at this time, and kowtowed to Li Yuntian with a bang.

"Get up!" Seeing this, Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head, and then said to the two Kansai youths with a serious expression, "Your enemy king is recorded in the letter, and he will definitely let those murderers pay for their blood debts." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Hearing this, the two Kansai youths thanked Li Yuntian one after another, and the two of them were extremely excited at this time, no matter what, they didn't expect to meet the famous Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty here.

Half an hour later, a large number of yellow-skinned, ragged refugees arrived at the Ming army's garrison under the guidance of two Kansai youths.

Under Li Yuntian's order, the Ming army's room had prepared food, so that those refugees devoured and feasted one by one.

"How many people are there in the mountains?" Looking at the embarrassed refugees, Li Yuntian asked Lin Xin who was following him in a deep voice while patrolling among the refugees.

"According to the understanding of his subordinates, since the troops of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty entered Shazhouwei, many people of Shazhouwei have fled to the mountains for refuge, and it should only be a small part here." Lin Xin replied in a low voice when she heard this, fortunately, those refugees fled into the mountains, otherwise they would have been either arrested as cannon fodder or starved to death.

"Bring three days' worth of food and grass and leave the rest for the refugees." Li Yuntian's brows furrowed, he knew that after the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan entered Guanxi, they wantonly looted grain and grass, and it was not easy for these refugees in the mountains to live.

"Lord Wang, will there be less grain and grass for three days?" Lin Xin was taken aback when she heard this, the Ming army's supply in Guanxi was also very difficult, if Li Yuntian left all the grain and grass to these refugees, then once the Ming army could not conquer the ancient city of Dunhuang to get supplies, it would be in big trouble.

"This sneak attack on Dunhuang will definitely be successful!" Li Yuntian knew Lin Xin's worries, so he smiled slightly and said, "Unless, the Adai Khan and Khordu Khan in the ancient city of Dunhuang want to die together with the ancient city of Dunhuang, this king thinks that they don't have this consciousness yet." ”

"The villain has seen the prince." As he spoke, Li Yuntian waved his hand to a young man with a Chinese character face who was chatting with a group of refugees not far away, and the young man with a national character face ran over and bowed with excitement.

This young man with a national character face in Kansai was one of the two young people in Kansai who had been arrested by the Ming army as a spy before, and he was telling his companions with great interest about the scene when he saw Li Yuntian, which made his companions show envious looks on their faces, since Li Yuntian rescued the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and his party from Beshbali City, his prestige has spread all over Kansai and has become a hero in the hearts of the young people of Kansai.

"This king asks you, do you want everyone to have enough to eat?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly at the young man with the national character face, and asked quietly.

"Yes, of course." Hearing this, the young man with a national character face nodded again and again, and looked at Li Yuntian with interest, "Lord Wang, are you going to let us join the army?" ”

Dunqian Town is less than a hundred miles away from Qinglong City, and the young man with the national character face has naturally heard of the good treatment of the Xiaowu Army in Qinglong City, and a young man in their village was lucky to be selected, and soon gained more than 20 pounds, and after being promoted to military attachΓ©, he took his family to Qinglong City, and now his life is extremely nourishing.

"Now there are more important things for you to do than joining the army." Li Yuntian immediately laughed when he heard this, and said to the young man with a national face, "This king has a batch of grain in his hand, if it can be transported to the mountains, the refugees in the mountains will be able to hold out until the moment of the Ming counterattack, are you willing to find someone to transport those grains back?" ”

"Yes, of course the little ones do." The young man with the national character face was overjoyed when he heard this, the most scarce thing in the mountains now is food, if Li Yuntian provides them with food, it is obvious that they can save more people.

"Transporting food is a hard work, find some young and middle-aged people, this king will keep some of the military rations here, don't worry about the lives of their families." Li Yuntian smiled and nodded, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, the little one will do this errand." The young man with the national character face hurriedly patted his chest and said, as long as there is food, those young and middle-aged refugees in the mountains will definitely follow Li Yuntian to deliver food without hesitation.

"Lord Wang, when will you be able to drive away those demons who kill people without blinking?" Subsequently, the young man with the national character face remembered something, and couldn't help but ask Li Yuntian, who hated the murderous Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan soldiers in his heart, as well as the even more evil servant army.

"The Ming Dynasty will launch a counterattack this year, and it will definitely drive those enemies out of Kansai before the year." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, smiled and gave an answer to the young man with a national character.

Hearing this, the young man with the national character face suddenly showed a look of expectation, for ordinary people like him, they all longed to live a peaceful life, even if it was hard.

Three days later, at midnight, when the ancient city of Dunhuang was shrouded in silent night, and the people in the city entered their dreams one after another, a huge sound came from the south gate of the ancient city of Dunhuang.

Accompanied by a huge fire, the city gate of the southern city of Dunhuang was immediately blown apart, causing the city gate tower to shake violently, as if it had encountered an earthquake.

"Kill!" Before the people who woke up from their sleep came back to their senses, the overwhelming shouts of killing came from the night outside the west gate, and countless soldiers of the Ming army wielding weapons shouted and slaughtered into the southern city.

Because Kansai has been controlled by the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, there are not many soldiers defending the city in the southern city, and when they saw the Ming army under the city surging like a tide, they were so frightened that they immediately fled in all directions.

The soldiers of the Timurid Imperial Army and the Northern Yuan Army in the West and East Camps of the Ancient City of Dunhuang were awakened from their sleep, and they hurriedly dressed themselves, and then carried weapons and rushed to the southern gate of the city under the drive of the generals.

Halfway through, the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army met the Ming army attacking the city one after another, and the two sides immediately started a melee on the street, facing the Ming army with high morale and fierce combat, those Timurid Empire and Northern Yuan soldiers who had enjoyed a comfortable life for more than half a year were immediately at a disadvantage, and after resisting for a while, they were defeated one after another, and they broke and fled like headless flies.

In a mansion in the west of the city, Tuhuan anxiously paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, surprised that the ancient city of Dunhuang would be attacked, because the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan in the Guanxi region had no enemies.

Therefore, Tuhuan has some suspicions that there is a problem between the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, otherwise he would never attack the ancient city of Dunhuang, where Adai Khan and Khordu Khan are located.

"Taishi, the Ming army has broken through the southern city and is killing here, it is better for the Taishi to go out of the city and take refuge for the time being." Just as Tuhuan was secretly guessing the reason for the incident, a guard hurriedly came in to tell him.

"What, the Ming army has entered the city?" Hearing this, Tuohuan was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face, how could this be possible?

The Ming army of Qinglong City was trapped to death, and the Ming army that broke through from Qinglong City was also sent by Wendu to follow the people behind the ass and run all over the world, and later the Ming army that broke through from Qinglong City was only 50,000 people, how dare they come to attack the ancient city of Dunhuang, this is completely like an egg hitting a stone, so there is no other Ming army in Kansai at all.

"Taishi, it is indeed the Ming army, and he is wearing the uniform of the Ming army." The guard hurriedly nodded to Tuhuan and said with an affirmative expression.

"How many of them are there?" Tuhuan suppressed the shock in his heart and asked quietly.

"The situation is too chaotic, I don't know how many of them there are, but our army and the people of Xichagatai can't stop them, and they are retreating one after another." The guards replied with some reluctance that in this chaotic situation, they could not figure out the opponent's strength at all.

"It's them, they must be coming!" Hearing that the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Timurid Empire in the city were defeated, Tuhuan realized that the Ming army was menacing, and then he suddenly remembered something, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he hurriedly yelled at the guard, "Quick, protect the Great Khan, and evacuate in the direction of Yumen Pass!" ”
