After drinking a sip of tea, Du Zhongxiao put down the teacup and said to Fu Bi: "Deputy envoy, according to the current situation, what should King Khan of Beiting in Gaochang do?"

Fu Bi said: "Now that the army is siege, he is desperate. What else can he do besides surrender!"

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "I don't think it's that simple. Two years ago, when Hequ Road was victorious, King Beiting should have sent envoys to pay tribute to the court. When our army arrived in Yizhou, he would actively open a commercial road through Yizhou, rather than like now. He refused to do both of these things, and now he accepted surrender, but he was afraid that he would not be able to turn around psychologically. The army besieged the city, and there was no road to life in the city, but there might not be no way out of the city. If we didn't try a few times, I'm afraid that King Beiting would not accept surrender easily."

Fu Bi said: "So what if you kill out of the city? There is a special killing team there. Even if you escape from the city, you have nowhere to go!"

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Yes, even if you escape, you have nowhere to go. Zhang Ji stationed in Yancheng in the south, blocking the way Yanqi's rescue troops. He occupied Baishui City in the north, blocking the road across Tianshan. He left Gaochang, but there was no way out. - The time was coming, and the battle was over. Order Zhao Zi to prepare to attack the city. Occupy Gaochang and attack Yanqi with all his strength. The court first regained Xizhou during the Tang Dynasty."

In the south, Yancheng was just at the entrance of the valley where Yanqi came, Zhang Ke led a large army to occupy it, cutting off the origin of Yanqi's reinforcements. In the north, Baishui City had a famous name in later generations, Dabancheng, which was blocking the intersection of Gaochang across the Tianshan Mountains. Taking these two places actually sealed the Gaochang Basin. Gaochang Basin was Xizhou during the Tang Dynasty. After the occupation, the Song Dynasty had two states, Yizhou and Xizhou in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions have a small population, and Gaochang occupies a large area, with a total population of less than 200,000 households, and a permanent force of only 30,000 to 50,000. If Gaochang and Yanqi are lost, the population is less than 10,000 households will be less than 10,000 households, and there will be no ability to make a comeback.

The Gaochang Basin was the center of the Western Regions at this time, the most populous place, and the main target of the Song army's attack.

At the top of Gaochang City, Pugu Huaien and Long Luodusha looked at the Song army outside. Each city gate faced an artillery position, and the infantry were arranged based on the artillery position. When they came out of the city, they were hitting the Song army's artillery position, the deepest part.

After walking around, Pugu Huaien said, "There is no other way. If the Song army fires artillery, they will not be able to get out at all. Now they can only take advantage of the night to go out from the city wall and city, choose a weak place, and break out of the siege."

Long Luodusha felt a little embarrassed when he heard this: "King, if you go down from the city wall, you can't get out of many people. If the number of people is small, how can you break out of the Song army? Or arrange it properly and fight fiercely after leaving the city. Only when the soldiers who follow him fight with the Song army will the King easily escape."

Pugu Huaien sighed: "How many soldiers in the city are still fighting now? Choose some confidants and take the night to go out of the city and go to Baishui City in the northwest. Then bypass the city, cross the Tianshan Mountains from the mountains, and go straight to Zhangbali."

Long Luo Dusha dared not refute, and crossed his hands to agree. He thought for a while and said, "King, what should the people in the city do if this happens?"

Pugu Huaien looked at the blue sky and after a while, he said, "Let them go. This time he left the city, the road ahead is long, and he doesn't know what the result is. There is no need to let others take risks with us. When we leave, they will open the city and surrender."

Long Luo Dusha was stunned when he heard this. He thought that Pu Gu Huai'en was leaving the city and was going to deal with the others.

When he returned to the royal court, Pugu Huai'en and Long Luodusha prepared their own preparations. Pugu Huai'en recruited those who were loyal to him and asked them to prepare to escape from the city tonight. Long Luodusha returned to the military camp and selected loyal and brave warriors, gathered up a hundred people to prepare to leave the city at night. As for the others, Pugu Huai'en just told Pugu'en that he could surrender after he left. If he was lucky, Pugu Huai'en recruited his old subordinates and would fight back one day, so he would not care about his surrender this time.

Pu Guchen ordered his advice, but Pu Gu Huaien just refused to listen and left him in the palace and was not allowed to go out.

At night, Pugu Huaien changed into military uniforms, and with Long Luodusha, he brought a hundred strong guards to the north wall. Looking at the Song army camp outside the city, except for the watchtower, it was pitch black and silent. Pugu Huaien said, "The moon has not yet come out, and it is a good time to leave the city. Come on, let's go quietly and rush straight to the Song army camp. After rushing out, go north!"

Everyone agreed and took the prepared big rope and went to the city. They chose a few brave soldiers and went down from the city.

Seeing the silence, Long Luodusha crossed his hands to Pugu Huaien: "Master, I will go down first, guard it, and then go down!"

After saying that, he held the big rope at the top of the city, stepped on the city wall, and slowly went down to the city. When he arrived on the ground, he held the place with a few soldiers, so that the people above could come down quickly. The selected soldiers did not dare to neglect, and quickly arrived at the bottom of the city one by one.

At the end, Pugu Huaien looked at the city behind him and sighed: "I refused to go on a mission at that time. I thought it was a trivial matter, but I didn't expect it to cause a disaster to destroy the country! It's hateful! I don't know when I will come back when I go!"

After saying that, he no longer hesitated, and the soldiers around him helped him hold the rope tightly and slowly arrived at the city.

Everyone gathered under the city wall. Pugu Huaien looked at the barracks in front and said in a deep voice: "There is the tower over there, we can avoid it from afar. In the dark night, the Song army couldn't see anything. Just pick a dark place and rush over! If someone falls behind, he will not be allowed to turn back to rescue, just escape!"

Everyone whispered, avoided the building and slowly approached the darkest place.

While we were walking, someone shouted suddenly, "Who is the command?"

Pugu Huaien was startled. When he didn't know how to answer, Long Luodusha drew out a sharp sword and stabbed the man's chest with one sword. The sentry was in the chest with a sword. He knew that he had encountered an enemy attack. Before falling down, he shouted: "Be careful, the enemy will attack!"

Long Luodusha suddenly pulled out the sword, kicked the person to the ground, and said sternly: "It's exposed, rush forward!"

One hundred soldiers, protecting Pugu Huaisha, rushed straight to the Song army camp in the dark. The Song army had dense formations, facing the city gates mainly in the direction. There were only sparse barracks between the city gates, accompanied by some sentries. The Gaochang soldiers were attacking the sparse places and were not blocked much.

Cui Dutian was lying high in the barracks when his personal soldiers rushed in and whispered: "General, the enemy has left the city!"

Cui Dutian got up and asked sternly: "Which city gate did you come out?"

"It's not the city gate, it's down from the city wall, and heads towards the north of the city. It is said that there are not many people, and it depends on the formation of more than a hundred people!"

Cui Dutian heard this and said, "Prepare the horse and take people to chase after you! It's easy for them to leave the city, but it's difficult for them to get rid of us!"

The personal soldiers agreed and ran out quickly to recruit troops and prepared to chase the Gaochang soldiers who had left the city. In Zhao Zi's army, there were several guards and capture teams like this that were on duty at night. Cui Dutian was in charge of the North City.

Hurryingly put on military uniform, Cui Dutian walked out of the barracks, got on the horse, led the team to chase after the soldiers.

Pugu Huaien and his party encountered few obstacles, so they quickly passed through the Song army's barracks. When they looked around, no one was chasing them. They couldn't help but feel happy. Long Luodusha said, "King, the Song army's defense is not strict, we have escaped!"

At this moment, he heard the sound of horse hooves, and Pu Guen couldn't help but change his face: "Stop talking, the enemy is chasing us! Send fifty soldiers here to resist, let's take advantage of the night and leave quickly!"

Long Luodusha gritted his teeth and whispered: "Your Majesty will take people away, I will bring people to fight!"

Hearing the sound of horse hooves gradually became clear, Pu Gu Huaien did not hesitate and said to Long Luodusha: "I have recorded the kindness of the general! After blocking the enemy who is chasing, come to me quickly! When we arrive in Beiting, we share the glory!"

After saying that, he took about half of the soldiers and rushed forward to the north.

Long Luodusha held a long sword in his hand, looked at the direction of the sound of horse hooves, and said to the person behind him: "Line array! There is no need to set up an array at night, just kill!"

Everyone agreed and gathered in the open space.

Cui Dutian led his men to gallop and said to the soldiers behind him: "The enemy has come out of the city, and there are no horses, so hurry up and catch up!

Not long after chasing, I saw a group of soldiers in the dark shadow in front of me and said sternly: "This is not our military camp, there must be an enemy in front!"

After saying that, he pulled out his rifle and fired a shot at the black shadow in front of him. With a scream, a soldier fell to the ground.

Cui Dutian whispered loudly: "There is no need to go forward to fight, just hit them with a gun! Two hundred people are divided to surround this team, and the rest follow me to chase after me! They finally came out, how could they wait for a fight here?"

Everyone said that when a general came out, he brought his two hundred troops and surrounded Long Luodusha and others.

At this time, the moon in the east had just risen, and it was clear in the night light that a group of people in front were running towards the north. Cui Dutian took the remaining more than 300 people around Longluodusha and chased him there.

Long Luodusha was shocked when he saw it, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the Song army who was surrounding him. However, he heard a gunshot and was shot in his leg and knelt on the ground. Since the Song army besieged the city, this was the first time Long Luodusha had seen a musket. He didn't know what it was, so he said to the other soldiers around him: "I don't know why I was injured in my legs and I can't stand up. You can kill you!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard crackling guns and most of the soldiers fell down. Seeing that there was no chance, the remaining 10 or 20 people could only hold long swords and watch the Song cavalry surrounding him.

Long Luo was not sure why, so he saw that the Song army was just surrounded and did not come forward to fight, so he was so angry that he was itchy.

Not long after, the Song army filled the medicine and loaded the bullets again, and the gunshots rang out again, and all Gaochang soldiers fell down.
