Mo Ying, the defender of the Yuanshi Kingdom who surrendered to the Big Eater, did not know that the Big Eater wanted to abandon him and broke through.
Said asked him to lead his troops to guard the east wall, but he only wanted him to create the illusion that the Big Eater's army was still holding on.
But he was kept in the dark.
At the same time, he did not realize that the Tang Army might attack the city next.
He found smoke rising from the Tang Army's camp.
He thought that the Tang Army would not attack the city today.
He and his men were like fools.
Abandoned by the cannibal.
When the Tang army finished dinner and was organizing an attack on the city, all the cannibals in the city had quietly gathered in the city and were preparing to break out to the west, but Mo Ying was still faithfully leading his men to cover the cannibals.
Inside the west city gate, the two thousand food army had all assembled.
Due to the rush, each of them only brought five days of dry food and water.
All the gold, silver and jewelry they grabbed in Sogdia during this expedition were left behind.
Once inside the city, the cannibals knew very well , now food, people and weapons are the guarantee for their survival, and gold, silver and jewelry will only become a burden to them, so Said forcibly ordered that no one is allowed to carry gold, silver and jewelry, and there are mountains of gold and silver jewelry piled up in the city.
Tang Jun is about to gain advantage.
Said and several of his fierce generals were riding at the front of the entire team.
A bearded subordinate asked: "Mr.
Governor, do we really want to break out from the West City Gate?
What if they set up an ambush outside the West City Gate?"
Said shook his head and said: "No, outside the west city gate leads straight to the desert.
It is a bare area with nothing.
The army cannot hide its ambush.
Moreover, the Tang army surrounded it on three sides, leaving only the outside of the west gate.
The purpose is to We forced us into the desert and let us die in the desert, but they forgot that we, the cannibals, were born to live in the desert.
How could these hundreds of miles of desert trap us to death?
From here, we have been heading west through six miles.
The Baili Desert is the Yaoshashui River.
As long as we reach the Yaoshashui River, we have walked out of the land of death.
We have five days of dry food and water, so we have to march more than 120 miles every day to get food and water.
"Getting out of this desert before eating is still very difficult for us living in the desert, but it is not impossible.
If we can encounter an oasis on the way, our hope of survival will be greatly increased."
It's not that Said didn't want to bring more food and water.
Bringing five days' worth of usage was already the limit for every soldier, because this was to ensure enough speed to escape from the Tang army's pursuit.
If the army carried more than five days, Without enough food, grass and water, they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Tang army.
Staying here is undoubtedly a dead end.
Breaking out from the west gate and escaping through the desert back to the Great Food Country may lead to death in the desert, but this road of survival has a much greater hope.
Several generals listened to Sai Yi.
De nodded as he said, "Mr.
Governor, my orders, we will follow you out of the west gate."
Said pulled out his machete and pointed at the city gate: "Open the city gate and all the soldiers will follow this governor and kill him out."
Several soldiers turned the winch and lowered the noose.
The city gate drawbridge was lowered accordingly, and light shone into the city gate hole from outside the city.
"Kill out."
Said waved his machete and rode out first.
Some of his guards immediately followed him on horseback.
Other generals and officers led their soldiers and rushed out of the yellow sand outside the city. middle.

The time the Big Eater persisted in the city exceeded Zhao Ziliang's expectation.
He originally thought that due to the strength of the Tang army's siege and the lack of defensive equipment and supplies in the city, the Big Eater would abandon the city and flee after holding on for at most two days.
But now The Big Eater actually persisted for three days.
Although he suffered heavy casualties, he was tenacious in resisting the times.
If this situation continues and the Big Eater fights to the end, then the three barriers he made will force the Big Eater into the desert.
Doesn't the strategy make no sense?
Zhao Ziliang walked back and forth slowly on the commander's platform with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to reduce casualties and make the cannibals abandon the city and escape as soon as possible.
At this time, Chen Qing came over and cupped his hands: "General, Zhao Hu and us One thousand infantry are all ready and ready to attack the city at any time."
Zhao Ziliang turned to look at the sun that was about to set in the west, and was about to order the attack when a large number of shouts of death came from the direction of the west city gate, followed by colorful fireworks rising in the sky.
Zhao Ziliang and Chen Qing looked at each other at the same time and said in unison: "The big cannibal can't hold on any longer."
Zhao Ziliang reacted and immediately said to Chen Qing: "Pass on my general order and order Axijie Qianquan to immediately lead two thousand light cavalry to chase down the big cannibal.
At the same time, order Zhao Hu to immediately lead troops to attack the city.
Remember to tell Zhao Hu that the big cannibal left in a hurry." , most of the gold, silver, jewelry, property, food, grass and weapons that they robbed in the city must have been kept.
After the city is broken, let him protect it and don't let the barbarians rob it."
Chen Qing cupped his hands and said: "Yes" The siege drums and horns sounded soon.
Thousands of Tang troops lined up in a neat square formation and advanced towards the city wall.
The soldiers in the front row carried ladders.
The Tang soldiers in the middle held shields in one hand and horizontal swords in the other.
The Tang troops behind them The soldiers pushed the Jinglan, and densely packed Tang army archers stood on the Jinglan.
Compared with the steps and methods of the Tang Army's siege, the barbarian soldiers' siege in the past few days was simply brutal.
The Tang Army's infantry divided the siege process into multiple steps.
Step by step, the first was the trebuchet attack on the city.
Stone bombs and kerosene bombs were thrown at the top of the city and on the city wall to comprehensively suppress the enemy troops at the top of the city and reduce the morale of the enemy troops.
Next, the Tang troops in the front row rushed to the city wall carrying siege ladders.
These Tang troops were only responsible for carrying the ladders and ensuring that the ladders could rest securely on the city wall.
They were not responsible for climbing up the city wall to fight the enemy.
The Tang troops in the middle were They are the main force in siege operations.
They carry the Shield, holding a horizontal knife in one hand.
When he rushed to the city wall, he bit the horizontal knife in his mouth.
He raised the shield in his left hand to resist the attack from above the city wall.
He held the ladder in his right hand to climb up.
At this time, all the trebuchets stopped and stone bullets and bullets were fired.
With kerosene bombs, the enemy troops at the top of the city showed their heads again.
Next came the Jinlan troops of the Tang Army that followed closely.
The archers of the Tang Army on Jinlan kept firing arrows at the enemy troops at the top of the city, killing and injuring a large number of enemy troops while providing fire support and cover for their own siege troops.
After many Tang soldiers climbed up the city wall to fight with the enemy, the mission of Jinglan troops was completed.
The Tang soldiers below continued to push Jinglan closer to the city wall.
The Tang army archers on Jinglan immediately lowered the cross bridge and built it on the city wall.
Go up, throw down the bow and arrow, take out the sword and shield, and rush up the city wall from the cross bridge to join the battle group.
Each step was carried out in an orderly and organized manner, without any confusion.
These steps of the Tang Army's siege were trained thousands of times, and each step was connected and coordinated seamlessly.
Each step was like flowing water, without the slightest pause, leaving the enemy overwhelmed.
Mo Ying's expression changed as the Big Eater broke out outside the west city gate.
He only heard the sound and before he sent anyone to check, he knew that he and his subordinates had been decisively abandoned by the Big Eater.
He was not the only one to discover it.

All his men on the wall knew they were outcasts.
As a result, morale dropped to freezing point.
If Mo Ying hadn't stayed on the city wall, these stone soldiers who had joined Mo Ying to join the cannibals would have abandoned their weapons and fled.
After the Tang army attacked the city, Mo Ying and his soldiers barely resisted for a while, but he found that his men were no match for the Tang army, and their morale was very low.
Coupled with the bravery of the Tang army, his men killed each other on the city wall.
Dei was retreating steadily.
Seeing this situation, Mo Ying knew that he could not stop it, so he had to order his subordinates to continue to resist, while he himself quickly descended the city wall and fled towards the west gate with some personal guards.
Without the command of the general, the enemy army was defeated quickly, and the soldiers began to flee in all directions.
Zhao Hu led his men to rush up the city wall without any effort and quickly occupied the east city gate tower.
All the stone soldiers who could escape fled into the city.
Seeing that they could not escape, the stone soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
Zhao Ziliang searched again and found that Mo Ying was not among the prisoners.
He immediately grabbed a prisoner by the collar and shouted, "Tell me where Mo Ying is, or I will kill you."
The prisoner was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Don't kill me, don't kill me.
I said, he took a dozen soldiers and ran towards the west gate."
Zhao Hu immediately said to the deputy general: "You lead the third and fourth battalions to collect the prisoners and clean the battlefield.
The first and second battalions follow me."
The city gate was quickly opened.
Zhao Hu found a horse under the city wall.
He got on the horse and led several prisoners who knew Mo Ying and two battalions of Tang troops to quickly chase towards the west gate.
As soon as he reached the middle of the city, he ran into a man.
One of the prisoners pointed at the leader of the enemy group and shouted: "He is Mo Ying" When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately shouted: "Mo Ying, how can you escape with your life?"
When Mo Ying saw a young Tang army general with a strong back and strong backs rushing toward him, his face turned pale with fright, and he shouted in his heart: "It's over, it's over!"
It turned out that Mo Ying had just run out of the west city gate with his personal guards, but he happened to bump into Axijie Qianquan leading his troops to chase the rear of the food army through the west city gate.
More than a dozen of them rushed out from the west city gate and were killed by Axi.
Jie Qianquan's subordinates saw it, so some barbarians attacked him They came to fight, he didn't dare to fight, so he had to ask half of his soldiers to resist.
He himself took the remaining half of the soldiers back to the city and prepared to find other ways to escape.
Who would have thought that the Tang army could break through so quickly?
They ran into the Tang Army's brigade head-on.
When Mo Ying saw Zhao Hu coming to kill him, he was horrified and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and stop them, stop them!"
Mo Ying didn't have any prestige at this time.
His soldiers had already seen him abandoning his soldiers and other soldiers.
When they saw the Tang army coming to kill them, some of them immediately took advantage of him and took away his weapons.
He pushed him to the ground and surrendered to Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu rode up to Mo Ying and raised his chin with a three-pointed two-edged sword.
He looked at him and shouted, "You are Mo Ying."
Mo Ying was so frightened that he turned pale and said, "You, you are just a villain.
General, please spare your life.
General, please spare my life."
Zhao Hu wanted to kill him with one blow, but when he thought that this man was the culprit who killed Ge Shushan, he shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Come on, arrest these people, and tie up Mo Ying tightly." , send it to Miss Geshu Luoyan."
"It's an order."
The soldiers agreed, and quickly stepped forward and tied Mo Ying up tightly, while other soldiers of the Tang Army caught the stone soldiers who were throwing themselves at him
