Chapter 455: I Can't Hold It
Tao Chuankai took off his helmet, sweat and blood mixed together, forming one stain after another on his face.
As a civil official, Tao Chuankai originally knew nothing about marching and fighting, but the war quickly catalyzed him, making him change from a literati who couldn't even hold a sword to a soldier who could kill the enemy on a horse.
However, the balance of war will not be skewed because of a person's growth, especially in a big war, where it is no longer about personal strength, but about manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
If the enemy is only two or three countries, Datang will not have any problems.
But this time, the opponent is the entire wilderness.
Even if Datang is extremely strong, in the face of the world's attacks, it will be overstretched and embarrassed.
More importantly, the southern border is facing the Qi country.
A powerful country second only to Datang in terms of comprehensive national strength.
A Qi country with Hengzong Dao and the first divine rune master of the Great Wilderness.
Since the outbreak of the war, the Tang army led by Tao Chuankai has directly entered a strategic defensive posture, but the cities are still lost one after another, and the number of soldiers has also shown a cliff-like decline.
Now, Tao Chuankai only has one city in his hands, and the number of soldiers is less than 5,000.
But outside the city, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are hoarded!
Qi country, this is the whole country to attack!
There are only a few generals left under Tao Chuankai's subordinates, so he, a civil official, can only go into battle and fight the enemy.
Tao Chuankai didn't know how long he could hold out, he only knew that there would be no more reinforcements from Chang'an.
Because Datang is full of enemies in all directions.
"Commander, wash your face. The adjutant handed over a hot towel, "You haven't closed your eyes for three days, and the iron man can't carry it if you go on like this." Commander, go and rest for a while. At this time, the Qi Kingdom should not attack, you are our last hope, if you fall, this city will really be finished. ”
Tao Chuankai smiled bitterly while wiping his face: "I might be able to sleep, have you done everything you were asked to do?"
"Most of the people in the city have been evacuated, but there are still a small number of people who do not want to leave their homeland. The adjutant said.
"Confused!" Tao Chuankai threw the towel into the copper basin vigorously, and the splash hit the adjutant directly in the face: "Don't they understand that once the Qi ** team enters the city, it will be a massacre, and no one can live under the butcher's knife! The man will die a tragic death, and the woman will be humiliated." ”
The adjutant said cautiously: "The lower official told them very clearly, but those people said...... Say ......"
Tao Chuankai said unhappily: "What did you say! ”
"They said that although they were on the border, they also had the bones of the Tang people! Even if they died, they would be buried with the enemy!" said the adjutant.
Tao Chuankai's anger disappeared in an instant, he sat down slowly with the arm of the chair, and after a while, he heyed and said, "It's me Tao Chuankai who is sorry for them." ”
"Don't say that, Commander. The adjutant persuaded: "I can't blame you, we can support it for so long, it can be said that it is entirely your credit." If it weren't for you, we would have died in Lordaan City before. ”
Tao Chuankai sighed: "Don't talk about this, what is the situation of the Xuanjia Army?"
"Master Bao said that he and the Xuanjia Army will guard the city gate and block the enemy's most ferocious first wave of attacks for us, and no Xuanjia Army will withdraw from the battlefield alive, if the city gate is broken, it means that all the Xuanjia Army will be martyred. The adjutant said.
Tao Chuankai's hand trembled.
At this time, a herald suddenly rushed in, staggered and knelt on the ground: "Commander, Qi Guo...... The state of Qi attacked. ”
Tao Chuankai stood up with a pause, "Which direction?" ”
The soldier's hand drew a circle above his head: "In all directions." ”
Tao Chuankai stretched out his hand: "Take my helmet!"
The adjutant hurriedly handed over the helmet, and after Tao Chuankai brought it, he said loudly: "Pass my order, all soldiers enter the first-level combat readiness, wipe your knives, polish your spears, and follow me into battle to kill the enemy!"
After speaking, Tao Chuankai walked out of the house.
Originally, Tao Chuankai thought that the people would panic, and there would be countless people running around on the street, but when he walked out of the house, he found that there was no one on the street except for the soldiers.
The people stayed in their homes and looked out through the windows.
They were calm.
Seeing Tao Chuankai come out, these people also walked out of their homes in turn, basically all men, and they also held weapons in their hands.
The Tang people are good at martial arts, and every household will have one or two weapons.
These men have weapons in their hands.
Tao Chuankai's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he slowly walked up the street and walked towards the battlefield at the gate of the city.
And the people followed him with weapons in hand.
As we got closer to the city gate, the heat wave of war became clearer and clearer, and the sound of fighting, the sound of swords clashing, and the sound of swords and guns penetrating into flesh poured into everyone's ears like a surging river and sea.
Tao Chuankai's soldiers had long been accustomed to it, but it was the performance of those people that surprised Tao Chuankai again.
They didn't panic at all, as if they were used to it.
The battlefield lies ahead.
At this moment, a cry suddenly erupted from the crowd, and immediately after this shout, it spread throughout the city gates.
"Datang Wushuang!"
In the first year of the new Tang Dynasty, on the eighth day of October, the southern border fell.
The guard general Tao Chuankai and 80,000 soldiers in the south died heroically.
led 500 Xuanjia troops to Baoxi Garden, where they supported, and together with the Xuanjia army under their command, they died on the battlefield and died heroically.
The six cities in the south all fell into the hands of the Qi State.
Bai Yuze, the general of Qi, issued an order to slaughter the city, hundreds of thousands of people in the south were slaughtered, and less than 2,000 people were lucky enough to get back the Central Plains.
After Meng Zhulu was killed, the morale of the soldiers in the western frontier plummeted, and in the face of the combined forces of Chu and Zhao, they resisted for less than half a month before they were defeated head-on.
The Eight Cities of the West fell.
At this point, the four realms of the Tang Dynasty, east, west, north and south have completely fallen.
The Six-Nation Coalition forces pressed towards Chang'an from all four borders at the same time.
Datang is at stake.
What's more, in the hands of the Tang Emperor, there is no one to love.
Military generals Meng Zhulu and Guo Zhenying were killed in battle, Su Chunjun was captured, and Tao Chuankai and Bao Xiyuan, who were civilian officials, were also killed in battle. At the same time, the academy has no intention of making a move.
In the eyes of the coalition forces, Datang is exhausted.
When the soldiers come to Chang'an City, Datang will be completely finished.
At present, the generals of various countries are thinking most about how to divide the interests.
Datang is a piece of fat, and everyone wants to gnaw off the most fertile piece.
......
Circles of ripples suddenly appeared in the originally calm mid-air.
The ripples rippled in about a centimeter, and there were debris on the edge of the ripples like stardust.
Immediately after, the center of the ripple was torn, and behind it was a black hole that looked like the depths of the universe.
Zhou Fei jumped out of this hole.
Steady landing.
The difficulty coefficient is zero, and the score is zero.
He glanced back at the teleportation array, and the feeling of discord in the painting style became stronger and stronger.
The teleportation array of the Star Palace Pavilion, the moment Zhou Fei stood up, he felt that he had traveled to a science fiction book.
In his opinion, the fantasy teleportation array should be a bunch of mages standing there, constantly casting spells on themselves, countless red or other colored lines wrapped around themselves, and finally teleported away.
But in the Star Palace Pavilion, he was standing on top of a completely mechanized teleportation array.
The shape of the teleportation array, the base is a classic six-pointed star, and there is a light at each corner of the star, of course, Zhou Fei has observed, it is not a lamp, it just looks like it.
If this is the case, it can also be explained by the difference in aesthetics.
But when Zhou Fei saw the people from the Star Palace Pavilion open the teleportation array, he realized that there was definitely a big problem with this place of retreat.
The teleportation array turned on, and it turned out to be a button!
Qu Mengli pressed a red button, and then Zhou Fei heard a mechanical female voice: "The positioning system is on, the teleportation position is being locked, the lock is complete, the teleportation is on, the countdown is ......"
This is by no means a style that should appear in the Great Wilderness.
This style of painting is similar to that of a system that has disappeared.
However, Zhou Fei didn't have time to think about it, because he had already been teleported away.
In the future, when I go to pick up Wei Wan, I will study the painting style of this place carefully.
Zhou Fei even had a bold idea in his heart, but it lacked theoretical support.
It's better to focus on the present.
Just like going to the Star Palace Pavilion before, this place is also full of devastation and corpses.
The air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood.
With just one glance, Zhou Fei fell into an unwarranted rage.
Because among the corpses scattered all over the mountains, the vast majority are Tang people.
And it's the people.
Women are poorly clothed, and men are mutilated.
One can imagine how much horror they encountered before they died.
Walking in the center of these corpses, the green tendons in Zhou Fei's forehead kept beating wildly.
When he saw the corpse of a baby, Zhou Fei's anger reached its limit.
He knelt in front of the baby's corpse and roared in the sky.
The roar spread far away, like a trapped beast.
After venting enough, Zhou Fei began to dig the pit with his bare hands, digging bloody, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
A three-foot-deep pit was finally dug out, and Zhou Fei picked up the baby and slowly put it into the pit.
"Sorry, kid, we didn't let you see the world. But don't worry, I have a deep hatred in my heart, and I will avenge you one day. Zhou Fei said while covering the soil, his voice trembling and his emotions were sad.
When the pit was filled, Zhou Fei suddenly heard a very thin cry for help.
He suddenly looked up and looked around.
Soon, he found the source of the sound.
Zhou Feifei pounced over and dug this person out of the pile of corpses, and the aura continued to pour into the other party's body, "Hold on, I can save you!"
Blood kept pouring out of this person's mouth, his lips buzzed up and down, as if to say something, Zhou Fei put his ear to it, but still didn't hear anything.
After a few breaths, the man died.
Zhou Fei's whole body became cold. I want to talk about "The Strongest Waste Material System" with more like-minded people,
