Chapter 1308
And Qiu Luan ran away desperately in the direction of Dunhuang City under the escort of his personal soldiers. He did not realize that the pursuers behind were setting off long lines to catch big fish. He just thought that he was slipping fast enough that the other party could not catch up.
Just chased and fled, getting closer and closer to the Dunhuang ancient city. Qiu Luan's five hundred personal soldiers were constantly being caught in the air. At this moment, they had thrown their arms and abandoned their armor and were defeated. Some of the unfaithful ones simply scattered into the darkness and fled to their lives. Therefore, there are only less than two hundred personal soldiers who are still protecting Qiu Luan.
Qiu Luan was afraid of death. Looking back, he saw countless torches flashing behind him, and the sound of horse hooves was as fast as a rain. Arrows coming through the air kept shooting the personal soldiers guarding behind him. He couldn't help but scared that his butts almost lost all their hair. So he whipped his mount even harder, hoping to get out of his wings and escape into Dunhuang City.
Fortunately, the light of the torch on the top of Dunhuang City was already visible at this time, and it should be about four or five miles away. Qiu Luan and his personal soldiers couldn't help but be overjoyed. The strong desire to survive made them burst into a small universe, and they miraculously distanced themselves from the pursuers behind them.
In the quiet cold night, the rapid sound of horse hooves was like thunder. The defenders on the Dunhuang city were naturally alarmed from a distance. In an instant, fires burst into flames, people rushed to the city, holding weapons, and rushed to the city to observe vigilantly.
Speaking of which, since Guo Heizi brought back the news, he has been staying in Dunhuang City by Qiu Luan. At this time, he was awakened by the sound of horse hooves like thunder. He took the weapons and followed the defenders to the top of the city and looked outside, and was shocked.
I saw countless torches flashing in the dark wilderness, and the sound of horse hooves was as fast as a rainstorm. Judging from experience, the number of people would definitely not be less than five thousand, or even more.
The four or five miles were approaching in a flash, and the west gate of Dunhuang City was in sight. Qiu Luan almost cried with joy. While riding a horse, he shouted loudly: "This general is Xianning Bo Qiu Luan, the governor of Dunhuang, quickly open the city gate."
"General Qiu Shen returned to the city, Luo Qianhu quickly opened the city gate." The personal soldiers gathered all their strength and shouted in unison.
Speaking of which, the person in charge of guarding the West City Gate was a Qianhuo Luan's command. The surname was Luo and Fan. Hearing the shouts outside the city, he calmed down with the light of the torch and saw that Qiu Luan was undoubtedly outside the city, and quickly said loudly: "It's really General Qiu Shen is back. Open the city gate!"
"Old Luo, you must not, there are a large number of pursuers behind!" Deputy Qianhu hurriedly reminded.
Luo Fan hesitated immediately, but Qiu Luan outside the city saw that there was no movement in the city gate, so he jumped in a hurry. He pointed his waist and cursed at the city and said, "The surname is Luo, I am the one who is Cao you. I ordered you to open the city gate immediately, otherwise you will bear all the consequences."
This Luo Qianhu actually has no real ability. He usually only flatters and flatters. He treats Qiu Luan like serving his ancestors. At this time, Qiu Luan pointed at him with a knife and scolded him. He shivered in fear. Seeing that the pursuers behind seemed to be still a distance, he became lucky and took the lead and ordered the city gate to be opened.
"Grass, idiots, you must not open it!" Guo Heizi was so anxious that he jumped up and cursed. Unfortunately, no one listened to him at all. He is only a commander and has no soldiers under him.
Rumbled, the heavy city gate slowly opened, Qiu Luan couldn't help but secretly shouted thanks, and rushed towards the city gate with one horse. More than 200 personal soldiers rushed to the city gate in a hurry, and it was blocked instantly.
In the distance, when Bai Yi, the Yarkand general who was watching with a cliff of eyes, was so excited that he laughed to the sky: "It turns out that the Ming army is just like this. What a bullshit god of war, a group of idiots, pass the orders and move forward at full speed, and be sure to seize the city gate."
With a command, the Yarkand cavalry, who had been retained, instantly raised their horse speed to the limit, and rushed towards the city gate like a strong wind. The sound of horse hooves shook the earth and the mountains!
Guo Heizi's face changed drastically on the city ice. He yelled like a furious beast: "You guys, please close the city gate quickly, close the city gate!"
Qianhu Luo Fan was so scared that his face looked like a dirt at this moment. However, Qianhu was still awake and shouted in a hurry: "Close the city gate!"
The guards at the city gate hurriedly closed two-thirds of the city gate, but although Qiu Luan had already entered the city at this moment, his personal soldiers still had fifty or sixty people not able to catch up.
When the fifty or sixty personal soldiers saw that the city gate was about to close, they couldn't help but curse in a hurry. They rode their horses into the city gate hole regardless of concern. Now that the city gate was over, they could not be closed at all. Instead, they were completely knocked open by the furious personal soldiers. Even the soldiers who were responsible for opening and closing the city gate were hit and stepped on several people.
"Hehe, God helps me, I will die like a dog!" At this time, the one who led the troops to rush forward was a Yarkand centurion. When the centurion saw the city gate open, he couldn't help but feel excited and held up a shiny scimitar and shouted.
Seeing that this guy was about to enter the city gate, a powerful arrow shot down from the top of the city, and a whoosh through the centurion's throat with a whoosh.
With a gurgle, the centurion's body fell off the horse, but one foot was still in the stirrup. The running horse could not stop at all. He dragged his body into the city gate and pulled out a piece of blood from the stone slab.
"Shoot the arrow!" Guo Heizi's eyes widened, holding a bow in both hands, and blue veins bulged. It was obvious that the arrow just now was exactly what he shot.
Luo Qianhu and the defenders reacted from the panic and bent their bows and arrows. For a moment, the arrows were like locusts and guns like beans. The Yerkand cavalry who rushed to the city and tried to break into the door were shot and killed on the spot.
"So close the city gate, quickly close the city gate!" Luo Qianhu urged loudly, but the fierce enemy soldiers were just around the corner. All the defenders who were responsible for opening and closing the city gate in the city gate hole ran away, and no one came forward to close the door for a moment.
"Cao, come with me!" The Qianhu family was extremely responsible and led dozens of personal soldiers to rush down the city to close the city gate.
At this time, there were more and more Yerkand cavalry under the city, and they were probably anxious. They even ignored casualties. They braved the guns and arrows on the top of the city, and the archers also opened their bows and shot at the top of the city to cover their companions to seize the city gate.
Let’s talk about the Qianhu, who led dozens of personal soldiers to rush to the city gate, raised his shield and walked forward to close the city gate. The enemy soldiers in the distance were willing to see this. The sharp arrows poured out like rain. In an instant, more than a dozen shield players could not bear the shields. Someone fell to the ground one after another. Qianhu could only lead the people to retreat slowly.
In this way, the two sides repeatedly tug and saw the city gate for nearly half a stick of incense. The deputy Qianhu finally brought more than a dozen brothers to the city gate and slowly closed the city gate.
Seeing that the city gate was about to close, more people rushed forward to help, Qiu Luan finally let go of his heart, and said intimately, "God's blessing."
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred. More than a dozen huge monsters with fire on their bodies screamed and threw away their four hooves, and rushed to the city gate like crazy. When they looked closely, they found that there were more than a dozen camels carrying firewood. The firewood was probably covered with tinder oil and was burning. The huge camel burst out with a very terrible force in pain, and actually knocked open the two city gates that were about to be closed.
Bang...
The city gate was wide open, and the deputy Qianhu and others behind the door were planning to lock the city gate, but were immediately knocked away by violent force. The person sprayed blood in the air. After landing, he was immediately trampled by the unreasonable camel and slaughtered.
boom……
The cavalry of Yarkand burst into a trembling cheer, and took the opportunity to pour in like a tide. The defenders on the city were so scared that their hands and feet were cold, and forgot to shoot arrows again for a moment.
"The grass, it's over, it's Qiu Luan, a fool again. I'm the 18th generation of your ancestors!" Guo Heizi spitted hard, took a bow on his back, pulled out a knife, and ran quickly along the city gate in the other direction without looking back.
Guo Heizi is not a loyal and righteous person. If he really convinces you, he can work hard for you. But if he looks down on you, he will do things for you because of the money, but it is absolutely impossible to save your life. If you don’t even have money, I’m sorry, don’t die for me.
Since Qiu Luan lost his military ration last time, Guo Heizi has always looked down on Qiu Luan, so he followed Xie Sanqiu. This time Qiu Luan lost Dunhuang again, so Guo Heizi naturally would not stay in the city and wait for death desperately, so he slipped out of the city from another city gate and fled to the direction of Yumen Pass in the dark.
Let’s talk about Qiu Luan, who saw the enemy entering the city gate, was so scared that he was scattered and wanted to escape from the north gate. Unexpectedly, his mount had been exhausted all the way, and he was lying down on the street, foaming at the mouth. Qiu Luan wanted to cry without tears, so he had to take off the general's erection and hurriedly hide in the nearby houses.
There were already nearly 20,000 defenders in Dunhuang City. If Qiu Luan organized these people to resist, Dunhuang City might not have been lost. Unfortunately, when he encountered a tragedy like Qiu Luan, a ruling lieutenant like Qiu Luan.
On the evening of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month of the sixth year of Jiajing, Yarkand general Bayi led his army to defeat Dunhuang and killed more than 3,000 Ming troops. The rest of them fled. Dunhuang fell, and the defender Qiu Luan hid in the house and was finally found out and became a prisoner.
On the second day, Ba Yi took the opportunity to take down Yangguan. Shen Tiebi, a thousand households guarding the pass, and two deputy households, died in a fierce battle. All 1,200 people under his command died heroically. Is he sad!
Guo Heizi fled to Yumen Pass in the dark and reported the news. The generals guarding the pass decisively abandoned the pass and led 1,200 people under his command to retreat to Guazhou. Yumen Pass was lost.
The Guazhou garrison Jing Dachu was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately strengthened the city defense and sent a fast horse to report Hami.
Two days later, Yu Dayou learned that Dunhuang, Yangguan and Yumenguan were all falling, and was shocked. He shouted to the sky and cried out that Qiu Luan had misled me, and quickly dispatched 20,000 troops to help Guazhou.
In Anle City, Mansuer was ecstatic when he heard the Ming army's defeat!
When the Oirats heard that the Ming army had lost the three passes of Dunhuang, they couldn't help but feel ready!
Even the Yibula tribe, who had always been obedient in the Qinghai Lake area, became ambiguous, and there were many incidents of robbing and killing the Ming Dynasty caravan!
