Time passed quickly, three days had passed, and Arutai began to arrange the evacuation of the army.
Except for a few tribal leaders who really couldn't let go, most people chose to leave Dunhuang.
After all, only living is the most important thing.
Those wives and children's property will always be owned again in the future.
At dawn, after repelling a wave of Chu army's offensive, the west gate of Shazhou City began to slowly open.
The garrisons from Longle Mountain, Zhashu Yalan and other places had already come to join them according to Arutai's order.
The army began to move toward the north in the direction of Hami.
Because they were afraid of being pursued by the Chu army, the Wala army always moved forward in military formation. In addition, the financial baggage had to be taken away as well, so I walked very slowly.
After a day, the army had traveled less than thirty miles.
When they marched to Yalan Mountain, the Chu army had already set up camp and had been waiting for a long time.
"Wise King, what should I do?"
Looking at dozens of camps stretching for more than ten miles.
I don’t know where Arutai is, I’m afraid the Chu army already knew the news of leaving.
"Xian Wang, Shazhou City has been destroyed, and the Chu army is chasing us!"
In the rear, the spies also discovered the Chu army coming to pursue them.
He quickly reported it to Alutai.
"Good thief, are you going to kill them all?"
Arutai snorted coldly and began to give instructions to the generals:
"Now there is no retreat in front, and there are pursuers behind. If you advance, you will live, if you retreat, you will die!"
"Tell the soldiers that if you defeat the Chu army in front, you can escape!"
"Drumroll! March!"
In order to survive, Arutai also had to adopt the human sea tactic, preparing to uproot the Chu army's camp with human lives.
For these foreign soldiers who just want to go home, they must have the belief to sacrifice their lives.
Arutai knows this, and so does Jin Wei.
Therefore, these camps are just to interrupt the coalition's formation.
Eight out of ten are empty.
So when the enemy troops rushed over, the soldiers guarding the stronghold in front had already run away.
"Abandon the money, food and baggage, and rush over quickly!"
Arutai also knew the Chu army's plan.
He quickly ordered his soldiers to march quickly through these camps.
In order to escape for their lives, everyone stopped pulling out the camp and began to rush forward.
Soon, some Wala soldiers rushed out of the camp.
But what greeted them was not a smooth road, but arrows like raindrops from the Chu army.
"There are enemy troops, there are enemy troops!"
The people who had just walked out were all glad that they had escaped the siege. There was no formation anywhere.
He was attacked by a hail of arrows from the Chu army, and was beaten so hard that the rats fled, preparing to get into the camp again.
"What happened up front? Why don't you leave?"
Seeing the crowd getting denser, Arutai quickly asked.
"Wise King!"
"Wise King!"
The spies from the front also ran over at this time.
"Wise King, there are Chu army archers at the exit of the camp, and the exit is mostly occupied by the camps on both sides. It's hard for our people to resist!"
"Chaos has begun in front!"
"Asshole!"
"Who is leading the troops in front? Uzhige? How does he lead the troops?"
"Tell him to quickly stabilize his soldiers and push them out!"
Arutai said angrily.
"Yes, Wise King!"
The spy responded and hurried forward.
Behind the army, the Chu army also began to form a military formation and began to slowly kill the enemy troops that had not yet entered the camp.
In order to frighten the enemy, the army moved very slowly and the military formation was very strong.
This also put a lot of pressure on the coalition soldiers, who kept pushing inside.
At the exit of the camp, after a period of panic, the coalition soldiers stabilized their position.
They formed a military formation and attacked the Chu army in front.
"withdraw!"
The general of the Chu army did not go to fight, but quickly retreated with his soldiers and left there.
Without any obstruction, the army moved through the camp faster.
It didn't take long for most of the soldiers to enter the camp.
On Yalan Mountain, Jin Wei had already stood at the highest point to watch the battle.
Seeing that the enemy had entered the cage, there was a hint of excitement on his face.
"Send a signal to Liu Sheng and it's time to start!"
"promise!"
Shortly after the military order was issued, wisps of smoke began to rise from dozens of camps.
"fire!"
"fire!"
"It's on fire, it's on fire! Run!"
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing the lieutenant's report, Arutai was immediately frightened to death.
"Wise King, someone set fire to the camp, let's leave quickly!"
At this time, the deputy general was also shocked and lost his mind, and tremblingly told the spy's information.
"Walk!"
"Quickly leave! The army will be in chaos soon and we won't be able to leave!"
Arutai quickly asked his soldiers to clear the way in front and fled toward the exit.
This road is bounded by Yalan Mountain to the west and Bulungi River to the east. Most of the area is now occupied by camps of various sizes.
Now that the fire is coming together, the foreign soldiers among them are suddenly in chaos.
Those on both sides still have time to escape, but those in the middle are probably dead.
Soldiers on both sides climbed up the mountain and jumped into the Bulungi River.
It only hurt the soldiers in the middle, who were stuck there, unable to advance or retreat.
As time went on, the fire grew larger and larger.
It was already difficult to see the way forward inside the camp.
Even the soldiers who were a little far away from the camp couldn't help but cry out in despair when faced with the monstrous heat wave and the billowing smoke.
By the time Arutai escaped, the fire had already spread.
In order to escape, the soldiers of Arutai were all covered in blood, and they killed their own people to carve a bloody path for Arutai.
"Khan, I am the sinner of Wala!"
Seeing the screams coming from the thick smoke, Arutai couldn't help but regret leading his troops out to attack Dunhuang.
Even if they attack Dunhuang, they should not have the idea of occupying this place.
Otherwise, the current tragic situation would not be possible.
The leaders of the tribesmen around Dunhuang who had escaped were also on the verge of crying.
Now that nine out of ten soldiers and horses are gone, even if they return to Yizhou, they will not be able to maintain their current status.
"King Xian, let's leave quickly! There are still Chu troops nearby!"
Seeing Arutai collapsed on the ground, the deputy general quickly stepped forward and helped him up.
"Yes, leave quickly!"
Arutai didn't care about anything else. He quickly got on his horse and headed towards Hami with the tribesmen who had escaped.
On Yalan Mountain and on the Bujilong River, the Chu army had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing the Chu army, these coalition soldiers began to ask for help as if they were seeing their relatives.
Behind the camp, after a fight, they faced a steady stream of Chu troops, and the camp was burning behind them.
These foreign soldiers soon became unstable and fled in all directions.
And the Arutai group who crossed the camp did not feel relaxed at all.
After cutting off the grain road, Jin Wei had laid an ambush on all sides.
Arutai has been walking for several days and has experienced more than ten ambushes.
Although relying on the advantage of numbers, they all rushed over.
But every ambush would cause Arutai to lose a lot of troops.
Moreover, after more than ten battles, all the soldiers under his command were exhausted and had already become frightened birds.
