"willing!"
"I'm willing!"
"Swear to the death to repay your kindness!"
"When my benefactor gives his order, I will climb the mountain of swords and descend into the sea of fire, and I will not dare to disobey you!"
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at them and continued,
"Everyone, before Talmu usurped the throne and ascended the throne, he sent the Loulan army to massacre 200,000 people in our country in the east of Yumen Pass.
I know that most of you are from western Longchuan and western Qinchuan.
Among these two hundred thousand people, there may be your parents, your grandparents, and your neighbors.
Talmu massacred your relatives, tell me if you can let him go! "
"cannot!"
"Should we capture him alive and take him to Yumen Pass so that he can apologize to the people who died tragically?"
"yes!"
"Okay, I won't say any more. You know my loyalty to Okawa best.
Tomorrow, you will follow me to break through the palace, capture Talmu alive, force him to open the city gate, let the king's troops enter the city, and destroy Loulan in one fell swoop! "
"Destroy Loulan!"
"Okay, now, you put on your armor and weapons, come to my house, eat and drink enough, and rest for a night, we will take action tomorrow!"
"As you command!"
Zhang Xiaoyu went up, and the soldiers of Sichuan Ziying immediately went to get their armor and weapons.
These things were all Zhang Xiaoyu had saved over the years, including money obtained from corruption and weapons obtained by secretly bribing Ministry of War officials, so that he could accumulate the armaments needed for these thousand people.
Not long after Zhang Xiaoyu went up, the soldiers from Sichuan Ziying came out of the basement one after another. Fortunately, it was night now, and they could adapt better after not seeing the sun all year round.
That night, a pot was cooking in Zhang's house, and a tempting aroma wafted out.
The aroma of food wafting from Zhang's mansion made the hungry people around them even hungrier.
They all stared at the Zhang Mansion with jealousy, cursing the damn Sichuan people, occupying the food and denying it to the Loulan people. .z.
That night, Zhang Xiaoyu had been checking their armaments.
By daybreak, all the soldiers had assembled in the compound.
If this kind of movement happened in the past, it would definitely not be hidden from the surrounding ears and eyes.
But now Loulan City has become a mess.
In addition to the thousands of people guarding the palace, all the fifty thousand young men in Loulan City were rushed to the city wall to guard the city.
Talmu returned to Loulan all the way, and forced the king to give him the Zen throne. He finally became the king. He had not enjoyed a few days of happiness, and he had not led Loulan to become rich and powerful. The country could not just perish like this.
He had brought his people back to Loulan, and after forcing the monarch to abdicate, he indeed dismissed 40,000 people.
It was the autumn harvest season, and the crops in the fields were ripe. He asked the 40,000 people to harvest the crops.
However, before many crops were harvested, news came that Dachuan troops had wiped out Luo Bu and Hami and were heading towards Loulan.
Especially when he heard that the enemy army was still the Zhenbei Army, Talmu was even more frightened. The terrifying power of those 20,000 people sweeping across his 200,000-strong army was still vivid in his mind.
He immediately ordered the 40,000 people to come back, put on armor, pick up weapons, and guard the city.
The harvested crops were only enough to sustain the army, and the people didn't get a bite.
At dawn, many Sichuan officials gathered in front of the Zhang Mansion with their servants and weapons. Every house in the city had been closed for a long time, and there were only a few patrolling soldiers. They could move around at will.
There are more than a thousand Sichuan servants alone.
People kept beating on the door of Zhang Mansion, and soon, Zhang Xiaoyu opened the door.
The officials looked at him, and no one said a word, but the knives in the hands of these helpless people had already made their attitude clear.
They planned to go all the way to the dark side and follow Zhang Xiaoyu.
"Master Zhang, we are all ready. We are just waiting for your order, Master Zhang, and we will rush into the palace and capture Talmu alive!"
an old official shouted.
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded and said,
"Thank you for your help."
"Master Zhang, I'm not pouring cold water on you, but with more than a thousand untrained servants like us, can we really break through the palace's guards?"
"Lord Wen, you are worrying too much. We don't need to defeat the palace guards. We just need to break through their defenses, find Talmu, and capture him alive.
Moreover, when I ask you to summon the Sichuan people, I am not relying on you to be the main force. I will bring the main force myself. "
Zhang Xiaoyu waved his hand, and the Sichuan Ziying camp that had already assembled behind him immediately poured out, splitting into two teams and coming out from both sides of Zhang Xiaoyu.
So many people came out, forcing the officials and servants outside the door to retreat.
When they saw these heavily armed elite soldiers, they instinctively retreated in fear, but soon their fear turned into ecstasy.
"Master Zhang, are these all the troops you secretly cultivated? Great, great. With these tiger and wolf warriors, we will be able to break the palace and capture the thieves chief alive."
"Lord Wen, stop talking nonsense. When the time comes to charge, you can just hide behind. Your legs and feet are inconvenient, so don't affect everyone's progress."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaoyu brought the horse and got on it.
However, he did not move.
"Master Zhang, what are we waiting for? The night is long and I have many dreams."
Lord Wen, an elderly man, asked anxiously.
"We will go to the palace after the army outside attacks the city and attracts all the patrols in the city."
Just when Zhang Xiaoyu finished speaking, the thunderous sound of drums and charges suddenly came from the south.
On the city wall, faint screams began to be heard.
"The king's division has begun to attack the city. Everyone, it's time for us to be loyal to the king and serve the country. Follow me to kill Talmu alive and destroy the Loulan Kingdom!"
"Capture Talmu alive!"
Outside the city, the Zhenbei Army wandered around, using bows and arrows to suppress the defenders at the top of the city. The Yue Family Army advanced in an orderly manner.
Loulan City was not originally a strong city, but in the past half month, in order to resist the Sichuan army, Talmu worked hard to strengthen the city defenses and prepare war equipment, making Loulan City extremely strong.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoyu led more than two thousand people and rushed towards the palace.
Along the way, the people kept their homes closed and did not dare to stand out.
Not even a patrol was seen on the road.
Loulan City is not big, so they soon arrived outside the palace.
However, outside the palace, an army of guards had already assembled, armed with weapons and ready to prepare.
The leader stood up, pointed at Zhang Xiaoyu and shouted,
"He who comes, stop there! Zhang Xiaoyu, the monarch has already expected that you will rebel, and specially asked us to wait here for your arrival.
If you know this, tie your hands and bear the thorn to the king to apologize, and your life will be spared! "
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the assembled army in front of him with fierce eyes and shouted,
"Fellow compatriots, we have no retreat, we have to sacrifice our lives in the national calamity, and we look forward to death as if we are home!
Sacrificing your life to serve your country is now!
charge! ! ! "
