The officers and soldiers were at a loss and remained silent.
The shouting of killing in the distance was so loud that it made people more and more frightened and panicked.
I don’t know who shouted what, but the Turkic army rushed towards the west city gate, preparing to flee.
No one is attacking the east and west gates, but the east side is adjacent to the desert and there is no human habitation, and the west side is the Turkic hinterland. As long as you escape, you have a chance to survive.
But just because no one is attacking doesn't mean there is no one. Fang Yiai's army is waiting not far away.
The hostages were led down. The steps were narrow and they were in a hurry to escape. There was a crowd of people and a chaos. When they rushed down the steps and came to the open area, the Turks who were responsible for guarding the hostages saw their companions running for their lives frantically and did not care about the guards.
Some ran away after losing the hostages, some were at a loss and shouted something, and some continued to move forward while holding them captive.
"call out--"
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, a soaring cannon shot up into the night sky, blasting out brilliant lights and colorful colors.
Luo Ying released the agreed attack signal and shouted: "Brothers, kill and save others."
"kill!"
The soldiers roared angrily, jumped down from the earthen huts one after another, and charged with repeating crossbows.
The crossbow bolts that suddenly appeared caught the Turks off guard, and many people fell down one after another. Luo Ying and others took advantage of the chaos and rushed forward, blocking the way of the hostages, and shot and killed the person in charge of their custody.
"Team one, team two, go around and kill, the others will follow me to save people." Luo Ying yelled.
The military orders were like a mountain, and the soldiers were quickly divided into three. Two teams circled and killed the hostages from the left and right sides. There were a lot of hostages, and they were basically concentrated together. The circle was a bit large, but they couldn't care less. Luo Ying led another
The team members rushed into the hostages and slashed them with their swords.
The panicked Turks were no match for them, and many of them fell down quickly. Luo Ying removed the rope from one of the hostages and shouted: "Take a knife and help save people."
The other party didn't understand, but understood what Luo Ying meant. When he had the chance to survive, he showed his amazing potential. He quickly threw away the rope, picked up an enemy's knife and helped cut the rope.
The soldiers cut the ropes while slashing, and soon many people were freed and picked up their swords to join the battle group.
The face of life and death can best stimulate a person's potential.
At this moment, the prisoners didn't know where they got the strength, they wielded weapons and slashed and killed, and they even cursed loudly, as if they were crazy.
"boom!"
An earth-shaking explosion sounded, red light shot into the sky, the city gate collapsed and exploded, filling the air with dust.
Everyone was startled by the explosion and looked sideways.
"kill--"
Outside the city, shouts of killing were heard.
This scene made the Turkic defenders feel cold all over. They realized that the situation was over and did not care about fighting. They fled towards the west gate, fearing that they would be killed if they fell behind.
Luo Ying and other soldiers blocked him tightly, not allowing anyone to get close to the prisoners, and fired wildly with crossbow arrows.
When the Turkic defenders saw that the soldiers were fighting to the death and were as fierce as tigers, they all bypassed them and fled madly.
"kill--"
They rushed into the city with a killing cry. The leader was none other than Xue Wanche, a majestic man. In order to seize the city and perform meritorious service, he had already been impatient. He slashed hard with the horse in his hand and charged at the same time. No one could stop him.
Luo Ying was worried about accidentally injuring one of his own people, so he quickly shouted: "General Xue, these are our own people, go around."
"Hahaha, it's your boy, you did a great job!" Xue Wanche shouted excitedly: "Soldiers, don't accidentally hurt your own people, fight in, and don't let anyone escape!"
The soldiers who rushed into the city quickly bypassed it, like a rolling torrent encountering a rock, split into two, and continued to rush forward, cutting down the Turkic defenders and submerging them.
Luo Ying breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Everyone gather together and stop running around. Is there anyone who can speak Tang dialect?"
A general came forward and solemnly performed a Turkic salute and said: "Thank you for saving me. Who are you?"
He was speaking in Tang dialect, his words were unclear and he could barely understand them.
Before Luo Ying could say anything, an excited voice came. He hugged the person just now and chattered something. Many people gathered around him excitedly and kept talking. Luo Ying saw that it was the interpreter Kundaji. He was helpless.
It’s okay if you’re the wrong person, just relax.
After waiting for a while, Kundaji separated from everyone, raised his hands to Luo Ying, and said gratefully: "General Luo, on behalf of my brothers, I would like to thank you for your life."
"You're welcome. The King of Han said that since we are our own people, there is no distinction between us."
"My great kindness and virtue will be borne in mind by everyone in the Khotan tribe." Kundaji thanked him again.
The others already knew the situation and saluted one after another with gratitude in their eyes. In this troubled world, who cares whether the prisoners live or die? What's more, a military commander led a team to personally come to the rescue. What a kindness!
Luo Ying returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "Tell me about the situation."
"General Hui Luo, my subordinates just asked. They are all General Xue's men. The troops of the two regiments were responsible for staying and garrisoning all over the city. The Turks climbed up the city wall and most of them died in the battle. In the end, they were defeated and became prisoners. What's more,
Please ask General Luo to say a few kind words in front of the King of Han, they have tried their best." Kundaji begged.
"Don't worry, the King of Han is open-minded and will not blame, otherwise he would not let me come in to save people. By the way, there are more than a hundred wounded soldiers who have left through the back door. Take everyone out of the city to see the King of Han. Many of them are injured.
There are injuries that need timely treatment." Luo Ying said, the two regiments had more than 2,600 people, and there were about a thousand people left. It was very rare that they could not surrender even after most of them died.
You must know that most of them are Turks. It is normal to surrender and go back. It is worth saving!
Kundaji thanked him again gratefully and hurried out of the city with his people.
The soldiers gathered around and looked at Luo Ying.
Luo Ying looked in the direction of the west gate. With Xue Wanche's ability, he should be able to kill them all. Besides, there was still Fang Yiai's army outside. No one could escape. The mission was completed. He had nothing to do. He was about to leave.
I saw Duoji coming with his people, and he went up to him and shouted, "General Duoji, you cooperated well just now."
"It's just General Yiluo's request. As long as nothing bad happens, has the person been rescued?" Dorje asked.
"We were rescued. What's going on with the fire in the back?"
Duoji quickly explained: "I burned some enemy corpses on several roofs to fake arson. The effect was pretty good. I attracted two waves of enemy troops. Don't worry, I didn't damage anything belonging to the people. I dare not violate the order of the King of Han, but the enemy corpses
It will be burned after the war anyway, so it can be used as waste."
When Luo Ying heard that the corpses burned were the enemy's corpses, he didn't ask any more questions and said: "General, since you have entered the city, please restrain the troops and maintain order. This city will belong to the King of Han from now on. Don't ruin the reputation of the King of Han."
"Don't worry, General Luo!" Duoji agreed wholeheartedly. Although they were both army commanders, Duoji knew that Luo Ying was not only Qin Huaidao's confidant, but also a relative and a family member. It was best to make friends with him rather than trust him.
After chatting for a while, Luo Ying took his people out of the city and walked quickly to find Qin Huaidao. He saw Qin Huaidao comforting the captured people, asked about the situation, and waited aside.
