After resting during the day, Wei Gao's men and horses came to life again at night.
Nearly three thousand people quickly occupied the camp left by the big cannibal.
The actions of the Western Qin Army were seen by Manhard on the city wall.
The light was too dark at night and the soldiers of the Food Army could not see his face and expression clearly.
But at this time, he felt extremely regretful in his heart: "Why am I so stupid?"
, we didn’t even order the camp to be burned down so that the Western Qin Army could be stationed under our eyes.
The threat is too great."
After all, Manhard was very grateful to the general and had rich experience.
He knew that his words and deeds would affect the morale of the army's soldiers, so he hid the expression on his face very well, and the soldiers did not notice it, but Xi Qin The army occupied the nearby camp.
They all instinctively felt the danger and were a little restless.
A general next to him asked: "Your Excellency, it would have been better if we had burned down the camp before."
Manhard shook his head and said: "It's useless.
If they really want to use this camp for something, even if we burn it down, they will still build it again.
If we don't burn it, maybe they won't think of using it for anything. " After what Manhard said, the surrounding soldiers and generals also felt that it made sense and said nothing more.
After a whole night of fear, early the next morning, the food soldiers on duty on the city wall were awakened by the noise outside the castle.
They all got up and looked down at the city.
They saw countless people on Bam Oasis.
The local people living there were driven from all directions by the Western Qin cavalry, including men, women and children.
The older ones were already hobbling and aging, while the younger ones were still in their infancy.
The local people who were driven here stood under the castle and cried and screamed in chaos.
Almost everyone was shouting towards the city wall.
"Just open the fort gate and let us in."
"The Western Qin army is killing people everywhere.
We have to enter the fort, otherwise we will all be killed."
"Open the door quickly" Seeing the densely packed local people under the castle with more and more families and their families, everyone was crying loudly to enter the castle.
The deputy general next to Manhard said: "General, do you want to open the door of the castle and let them in?"
" Manhard did not make a sound, but another general next to him immediately said: "No, there are already too many people in the castle, and there is simply no room for so many people.
If those people from outside are allowed to come in, the castle will be overcrowded." " Another ministry will support this person's statement: "You are right, they cannot be allowed in.
The castle is already extremely crowded and the population cannot be increased."
The lieutenant general sighed: "I know that all the generals are right, but I ask you to think about it.
They are all brothers who believe in Allah like us.
If we shut them out today, then they will definitely They will be massacred by the Western Qin people, and Allah will blame us for not lending a helping hand to our brothers at the critical moment.
You are the commander-in-chief, and your decision will determine their life and death, and will determine whether Allah will punish us."
Manhard knew that what the generals said was right.
The castle was only so big, and the population it could accommodate was really limited.
If you wanted to forcefully open the castle door to let the people outside in, of course it was possible, but this would greatly shorten the entire process.
The survival time of a person will also make the castle more crowded.
As a wise person, he will never allow outsiders to enter the castle.
He entered the castle in front of those people, but the lieutenant's words are also very reasonable.
If he refuses to let the people outside enter the castle today to avoid the pursuit of the Western Qin people, then even if he survives this time, he will definitely be killed by all believers.
Abandoned by the brothers of Allah, he will be drowned alive by a lot of saliva and criticism.
He really cannot bear such a heavy responsibility.
After a long period of weighing and deliberation, Manhard sighed: "We are all brothers who believe in Allah.
I can't watch them being killed by the Western Qin people.
Open the gate and let them in."

Several generals who opposed opening the fort gate were shocked: "Your Excellency, General" Manhard waved his hand and said: "No need to say any more, open the fort gate and send people out to welcome them in.
The speed must be fast, and the people of Western Qin must not take advantage of it."
The lieutenant general was overjoyed and immediately saluted: "Yes, General" While the Da Shi people opened the gate of the fort and brought the Da Shi people outside into the fort, the Western Qin army did not take action.
The Da Shi people outside the fort entered the fort smoothly.
It was inevitable that some of the Da Shi people had already succumbed to the Western Qin Dynasty.
The spies of the army were mixed in among them and were not noticed by the Dashi army for the time being.
The small Bam Castle has accommodated more than 40,000 people at this time.
The level of crowding is beyond imagination.
It is almost crowded.
Many times, it is impossible to find a place to lie down and sleep.
Due to the large number of local people entering, There are both old people and infants The baby was born, and no one was dedicated to maintaining order, which caused great chaos in the city.
Some people defecated and discarded garbage everywhere.
Within two days, the castle began to stink.
It was disgusting to smell, but it was different from being so close.
The danger must be nothing at all.
No one cares about the sanitation condition of the castle, but everyone in the castle is under increasing pressure to survive, because the day after a large number of local people poured into the castle, Zhao Ziliang ordered the height of the camp wall outside the castle to be increased and reinforced.
The Dashi prisoners undertook these tasks, and the Western Qin army used swords, bows and arrows to They were forced to heighten and strengthen the wall.
In just two days, the height of the wall exceeded three feet and became stronger.
In addition, the wall was still extending towards the castle.
Soldiers could even use horizontal ladders to jump onto the city wall, which frightened the soldiers and civilians in the castle even more.
September 16, afternoon, under Bam Castle.
Zhao Ziliang sat in the camp and quickly reviewed the urgent memorials sent from Xinjing and Chang'an.
These must be reviewed by him personally, and no one else can do it for him.
After reviewing the last memorial, Zhao Ziliang rubbed his temples, stood up and stretched his muscles.
Chen Qing, who was fully clothed, walked in and clasped his fists: "General, our plan to send people to sneak into Shulgaz City and drug the well has failed."
"Oh, tell me about the specific situation."
This was a bit beyond Zhao Ziliang's expectation.
Logically speaking, Big Eater shouldn't be so vigilant.
Chen Qingdao: "Almost every ten households in Shulgaz City have a well.
The spies we sent to infiltrate attracted the attention and suspicion of the food army due to their frequent activities.
One person was caught while poisoning the thirteenth well.
The corpse was hung on the wall outside the city wall by the cannibal.
Several other spies have stopped related operations and are waiting for the next order."
Zhao Ziliang checked the map and said: "It seems that this area is rich in groundwater.
Shulgaz City is a large city in the eastern part of the country.
There must be a lot of water wells in the city.
We will not consider it this time.
"Zhou" Chen Qing asked: "Should we give orders to other spies in Shulgaz City to continue implementing this plan or let them find ways to burn the food and grass in Shulgaz City?"
Zhao Ziliang thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, after this incident, the food army in Shulgaz City will definitely be more vigilant.
They are not fools.
Since we think of drugging the well, they will definitely attack the food next."
Strengthen the security of our country.
Don’t make fearless sacrifices.
Don’t give orders to the remaining spies and let them lurk. , at least wait until the cannibals relax their vigilance before sending an order to Zhao Hu to continue the siege.
Grain cannot be produced in Shulgaz City.

We came quickly and launched a siege.
They were not prepared and could not eat the food they had hoarded.
How long do we have to be patient?
War is not something that can happen overnight.
Wait until the big cannibals die first and be patient.
They will naturally have civil strife."
Chen Qing clasped his fists and agreed: "I understand.
In addition, news came from the north that Wei Meng has led the fifth army, cooperating with Ogus and Khwarizim, a total of 50,000 troops to march towards Guchang and Mashad City.
The specific battle situation is still unknown.
There is no message from the king, and the minister is a little confused about the king's strategic plan."
Zhao Ziliang turned around and glanced at Chen Qing, "Say" "Yes, although Mulu City, the capital of Khorasan Province in the Great Food Kingdom, is heavily garrisoned, it is isolated in the northeastern corner of Khorasan Province.
Its only connection with other areas of Khorasan Province is the Karak Canal Corridor. , the narrowest part of this canal corridor is only ten miles.
If our army cuts off the Karak Canal corridor, The Mulu City area has become an enclave.
We can fight whenever we want.
However, the king does not cut off this canal corridor and lets the Fifth Army, Ogus Army and Khwarizim Army attack Guchang City and Mashad, does the king want to attract the soldiers and horses of Mulu City to the area of Guchang City and Mashad City?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "There is no real enclave, the legs are on the body of the big man-eater.
Even if we cut off the Karak Canal corridor, they suddenly don't want Mulu City, and we can't stop them.
And Mulu City There are oases for hundreds of miles around, and there is plenty of food and grass in the city.
The ordnance city is well-defended.
If their resistance is stubborn and resolute, if we attack, we may not be able to capture it in a year and a half.
Moreover, there are no less than 20,000 people in Guchang City and Mashad City.
If we Attacking Mulu City, these two places will definitely come to rescue and cut off the canal corridor , cannot cut off their reinforcements, there are roads everywhere, and they are constantly cutting.
Only by destroying their army can they occupy their territory.
When attacking Guchang City and Mashad City, if the big food army of Mulu City comes to save them, , the fifth legion can surround the point and reinforce Wakagiro Castle's army without moving. , after we capture Mashad and Guchang City, we can quickly send cavalry to ravage the areas around Mulu City and weaken their resistance.
Now Dongchang can send people to Mulu City to create panic and weaken their resistance.
Will, it will be much easier to attack Mulu City."
Mulu City had been built as a town as early as Antigonus I.
Later, economic and trade exchanges between the East and the West began.
Mulu City played an important role as a town and cargo transit on the Silk Road.
At that time, many canals were dug around it. thing.
This place has always been the capital of the Khorasan Province of the Great Food Country, and it has also served as the forward base for the Great Food Country to invade Central Asia eastward.
It is extremely important to the Great Food Country.
Later, Zhao Ziliang took advantage of the Black Food Country to overthrow the White Food Country.
Taking the opportunity to establish the Taixi Protectorate , and severely damaged the army of Bingbo Xilin that invaded the east, and also eroded a large area of land that originally belonged to the Dashi Kingdom, making Mulu City almost captured.
Although the Dashi Nation had better save Mulu City, it also left Mulu City Almost alone outside the territory of the food country
