As soon as Zhao Long said this, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Including Xie Xing, the surrounding soldiers all looked at Zhao Long in disbelief.
The king stood up with a roar, pointed at Zhao Long and cursed,
"You, you, you, you actually want to blaspheme your deceased ancestors. You will not die a good death. You will be punished. You are still not a human being!"
Zhao Long glanced at him coldly and said,
"If you dance again, I will strip you naked and hang you outside right now."
Hearing this, the monarch immediately shut up. After all, compared with the dignity of the dead, the dignity of the living is more important.
Xie Xing said with some embarrassment,
"That's not good?"
"What's wrong? That's the enemy's imperial mausoleum, not ours."
Zhao Long glanced at him in confusion,
"It's not that they are all funerary objects. It would be unlucky to take something belonging to a dead person. I'm afraid there might be some evil spirits or something like that. After all, those things are ominous and I'm afraid of retribution."
"What are you afraid of? We have so many armies, but the Yang Qi is not enough to deter the evil spirits? Besides, if a dead soul from a defeated country really dares to cause trouble for our army, I will also exterminate it too."
Zhao Long's domineering words dispelled the doubts in the hearts of all the soldiers.
Xie Xing patted his shoulder and praised,
"You are such a clever little girl."
After speaking, Xie Xing waved his hand and shouted,
"Come on, come with me to dig up their ancestral graves."
He led the people away in a mighty manner, leaving the monarch, princes and others crying one by one.
We are incompetent. Not only were the enemies subjugated the country and captured all the royal family alive, but they also massacred all the ministers and princes. Now we can't even rest in the tombs of our ancestors.
It’s all the sin of being unworthy of one’s descendants!
The king was so heartbroken that he collapsed on the ground, his whole body no longer full of energy.
Zhao Long sneered. He felt that what he did was not excessive at all. Compared with what the enemy did in Dachuan, he did not massacre the city, which was very benevolent and righteous.
The excavation work of the imperial tomb continued for another day, and all the funerary objects were plucked out and transported into the city.
These funerary objects can be exchanged for at least one or two million more silver.
Zhao Long waved his hand, and everyone in the army was rewarded with five taels of silver.
He ordered people to load all the grain, grass, gold and silver that he had grabbed into trucks, and arranged for two thousand Yuejia troops, three thousand auxiliary troops, and five hundred Zhenbei troops to escort these supplies back to Yumen Pass.
Now that Luo Bu country has no soldiers left to fight, these people are safe enough to escort the supplies back.
Considering that the weak bodies of these monarchs and concubines would slow down their march and make them exhausted from walking all the way back, he thoughtfully had dozens of prison cars built and imprisoned all of them.
It is worth mentioning that all the clothes on these people were pulled off, leaving only their middle coats. All the accessories hanging on their bodies were looted and turned into trophies.
These people who were once high and noble are now prisoners who are worse than slaves.
There is not much food and grass in Luobu country, and it is probably enough for the army to use on the way. The remaining part was taken away by the team returning to Yumen Pass to provide them with food and drink on the way.
The Hami Kingdom in the north is quite rich in water and grass. Maybe we can plunder some more food and grass there and supply it to Yumen Pass.
After the team left, Zhao Long asked the entire army to kill cattle and sheep, have a feast, and then break camp and set off north to the Hami Kingdom.
After leaving the area around Lop Nur, there is the endless desert Gobi again, and the walk along the way is very hard.
Because they were delayed for two or three days in the Luobu Kingdom, the news of the fall of the Luobu Kingdom had already reached the Hami Kingdom.
Along the way, the cities they encountered were all closed with closed gates, and soldiers on top of the city were standing ready.
Of course, all the 150,000 regular troops of the Hami Kingdom have been lost in Yumenguan and Qinchuan. There are not many soldiers in the country to fight. There are only one or two thousand or a few hundred native soldiers in those cities. They are not Dachuan soldiers at all. opponent.
In order to save time and reduce casualties, Zhao Long didn't bother to attack the city and went directly around the city.
Anyway, I brought enough food and grass, and attacking those cities was just a waste of time and meaningless.
After walking through the Gobi Desert, we came to the area with abundant water and grass in Hami country. Cantaloupe fields can be seen everywhere along the way. This is the season when cantaloupe is ripe.
The soldiers were thirsty after walking, so they turned around and plucked out a Hami fruit from the ground to eat.
The Huotou Army even directly harvested cantaloupes and gave extra meals to the soldiers during meals.
Finally, after a few days, the army arrived outside the capital of Hami Kingdom.
The national power of the Hami Kingdom is stronger than that of the Luobu Kingdom and the Loulan Kingdom. The city walls are also built extremely tall and the city gates are extremely strong. Although they are not made of pure iron, they are also made of extremely hard white birch wood and are covered with iron sheets. .
Because he had known the news of the fall of Luobu Kingdom a long time ago, the king of Hami Kingdom also knew that the enemy army would definitely attack him at the next stop, so he worked hard to strengthen the city defense. Although all the regular troops in the country were dead, there were still 10,000 soldiers in the capital. Available soldiers.
The monarch also issued a mobilization order, and all the people were mobilized to serve the war. Many young men in the city were armed and formed a militia to help the city defense army defend the city.
All the few combat equipment left in the city were taken out and distributed to the soldiers, while the city gate was closed.
When the Dachuan soldiers arrived, they saw a solid city defense and densely packed garrison formations on top of the city.
Looking at the defenders on the top of the city, Xie Xing couldn't help but sweat and said to Zhao Long beside him,
"Let's set up camp first, let the auxiliary soldiers build siege equipment, and then our Yue Family Army will attack the city."
Zhao Long held Hamiguo in his hand and ate leisurely. After listening to Xie Xing's words, he shook his head easily and said,
"Look at the top of the city. It's so densely packed. There are probably tens of thousands of enemy troops. To attack the city by force, all you have to do is build hundreds of ladders, and you can only climb hundreds of people at a time. You don't have to be killed by the enemy. Increase casualties.”
"Then what do you think we should do? If we don't attack the city, why don't we go around the city and go to Loulan? Just let them go like this?"
"Of course we can't let them go like this. It's just that your Yue family's army is all wearing leather armor. If you want to suppress the city defenders with arrows, it will definitely not work. It's better for them to shoot downwards from above than you to shoot upwards from below. Far away, they forced the city to attack and there were countless casualties."
"With your Zhenbei Army, there won't be any casualties?"
Xie Xing said unconvinced.
"Deaths and injuries are inevitable, but they are much smaller than those of your Yue Family Army. Besides, war requires brains.
We need to know our strengths and maximize them. "
"What advantage? The advantage of your Zhenbei Army's invulnerability?"
Xie Xing said sarcastically.
Some people died, but not completely...
