Chapter 368: Rain in the Desert (Finale)

In the pine desert area, outside the new city, the tent of the post-Turkic army stretches for dozens of miles, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, in the shape of a sickle, wrapping the southeast side of the new city, but the northwest side is empty, the Turkic siege is only from the southeast side of the attack, the intention of forcing the Khitan people out of the city is very obvious, but unfortunately, the Khitan people are not fools, they are self-aware, leaving the shelter of the high walls of the new city, on the vast meadow, the Khitan people are just stupid roe deer under the fierce bow of the post-Turkic army, just hold on, refuse to attack, He refused to retreat.

After Sun Wanrong led tens of thousands of young soldiers and horses into the city, this tendency to shrink the hedgehog was even more obvious, as if he was waiting for something to let the post-Turks retreat on their own.

"What are you waiting for, it's just waiting for the insatiable Great Zhou" Ashina Yuanzhen angrily threw the military newspaper in his hand on the ground.

Princess Yunxi picked up the general newspaper and looked at it silently for a long time, not for anything else, just because of the name of the military newspaper with a powerful strategy.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Quan Ce led the army to break through Liucheng, the front of the army to the north, through Yanshan, stayed in the Huangzhang Valley for two days, performed the ritual of sacrifice of the soul, and then continued to the north, avoiding our department, and stationed on Nanfeng Mountain, twenty miles west of the new city......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ After investigation, the army led by Quan Ce included more than 50,000 people in the Hou Sizhi Department of the Right Yuchao Guard, more than 10,000 people in the remaining Department of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Tuoba Division, more than 10,000 people in the Khitan Fu Division and the Xi Ren Kedu Fu Division, nearly 10,000 people in the Murowei Hebule Division, more than 800 people in the Yehuli Department of the Lanying Army, and nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses......

"How unfair the sky is, the Great Zhou soldiers and horses have an endless supply of food and straw, sharp weapons, they are already blessed, and there are many vassals" Ashina Yuanzhen Yangtian sighed, the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty experienced two fiascos, and they could easily gather 100,000 troops, chase the north, swallow Liaodong and refuse to give up, and occupy half of the desert, right now, even the remaining half of the pull, even did not let go, Ashina Yuanzhen held his breath, patted the table with his hand, "The right strategy to use the troops, the strategy first, the advance and retreat calmly, the ruthless, people to Shengzhou, Li Duzhong's head landed, Words must be practiced, what are the words, what are the words? ”

Princess Yunxi was full of pride and enthusiasm for a while, and then she was cold all around, "Tong Ye Hu, how many days will it take for our army to capture the new city?" ”

"If you don't care about the cost, it will take four or five days" Ashina Yuanzhen smiled bitterly, the picture of Quan Ce Fuqin singing flashed in front of him, and his heart unconsciously tightened, "It's just that Quan Langjun, I'm afraid it won't give us time, besides, after the city is broken, our army is bound to be exhausted, if Quan Langjun gets up, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to return to Black Sand City......"

Princess Yunxi's eyes were full of confusion and struggle, and she bit her lip, "After all, I have to work hard, my father Khan has been deliberately indifferent for a long time, if I can't even get half of it, I will lose face after the Turks...... He is a great hero, and Da Zhou prides himself on being benevolent, when the time comes, let me take my maid to block his army, I don't believe that he will be cruel to his fiancΓ©e."

Ashina Yuanzhen was in awe, "The princess is worthy of being the golden phoenix of the grassland, for the sake of the Khan's ambition, the princess does not hesitate to herself, and I have no reason to be greedy for life and afraid of death, so I will do it."

Ashina Yuan was ruthless, organized a big knife military team, every time he attacked the city, personally supervised the battle in the rear, some people were timid, they waved their knives to kill, regardless of the military rank, the results were excellent, and the later Turkic offensive immediately became fierce, shaking the wall of the Khitan new city with the lives of the steppe men.

Just when Ashina Yuanzhen was full of excitement, an invitation came to his Zhongjun account, and Quan Ce invited him to Nanfeng Mountain to meet, and the people who clearly said that the participants were also the Great Zuo Li of the Shen Ya Department, plus the Khitan Fu Tieshi, Muwei Hebule and Xi Ren Kedu Fu who were already in the Quan Ce army, and all the players in Baishan and Heishui gathered together.

"Go?" Ashina Yuanzhen was uneasy in his heart, he was not worried that Quan Ce would hold a Hongmen banquet and kill people at the banquet, he was worried that Quan Ce would call everyone to meet, had he already made up his mind, or had he already set up a chess game? Li Quanzhong disappeared between his talk and laughter, leaving a deep shadow on him.

"Naturally, I want to go" Princess Yunxi smiled, her eyes were covered with a thick layer of gray, and she finally wanted to meet each other, avoiding Yunzhou, but there was still a new city.

The talks were held in a mid-mountain pavilion next to Nanfeng Mountain, although all parties gathered, the real protagonists were only the Great Zhou and the Later Turks.

"The mountains and rivers in the pine desert area are geographically accompanied, and they should not be divided into two, if the post-Turkic arbitrariness, there will be disputes in the future, and please think twice about the protection of the leaves," Quan Ce said with a smile.

"What Quan Langjun said is extremely true, in my opinion, it is better for Da Zhou to withdraw from Liucheng, in order to protect the pine desert and avoid hurting the harmony of the two families" Ashina Yuanzhen refused to let people.

"With Princess Yunxi's affection, it is really not what I want to meet with the Later Turkic soldiers" Quan Ce said very bluntly, his eyes swept over Princess Yunxi's face, "If the Later Turks take a step back, Da Zhou can compensate"

Princess Yunxi pursed her lips, only to hear Ashina Yuanzhen's refusal, "The Turks have no intention of raising sword soldiers with the Great Zhou, we are sincere, as early as the time of Yunzhou, Quan Langjun already knew that the Great Zhou is the upper kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, why bother to compete with the vassals for small profits in the frontier, if the Great Zhou can fulfill one or two, the Turks are willing to pay tribute and pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty."

"If I command Yunzhou, what should you do?" Quan Ce's expression was abruptly sharp.

Ashina Yuanzhen's eyebrows jumped, and his voice was hoarse and low, "If the Celestial Empire is difficult to tolerate the Turks, Quan Langjun insists on raising troops, whether there is a desert or not, it will be a war in the end."

Quan Ce's eyebrows were cold, staring at Ashina Yuanzhen, and as soon as he turned to Princess Yunxi behind him, he sighed leisurely, "The hateful is Li Quanzhong, if he doesn't build a new city, how can there be a loose desert two-point saying"

"If there is no new city, we should have a banquet in Liucheng for Quan Langjun and all the distinguished guests" Even if Quan Ce had a joking meaning, Ashina Yuanzhen did not dare to relax at all, and fought-for-tat.

"If the new city disappears, what will happen to the Turks?" Quan Ce seemed to be interested and asked.

"If Quan Langjun really has such a magical ability, how dare the Turks make a mistake" Ashina Yuanzhen lost his temper.

"Hahaha" Quan Ce laughed, looked at Princess Yunxi, if he had a deep meaning, "It is rare to protect the golden mouth, in order to avoid injury, even if it goes to heaven and earth, Quan Ce must do his best"

"Hmph, may Quan Langjun's wish come true" Ashina Yuanzhen was not angry, but Princess Yunxi behind him had her eyes flashing, both expecting and resisting, and her heart was like numbness.

The conversation collapsed, the topic changed, and Quan Ce looked at the young people beside Da Zuoli, "This is your eldest son?" ”

"Exactly, little Da Zuorong" Da Zuo Li clasped his hand and replied angrily.

"Da Zuorong?" Quan Ce nodded, paid attention to a few glances, was dignified and mighty, and was heroic, "Good name, Baishan and Heishui, when there is a place for you, on another day, maybe you and I will meet on the battlefield"

The pavilion was quiet, and everyone's eyes looked over intentionally or unintentionally, it was not a matter of two times that the Yan Yan was run by Da Zhou, and in the face of this powerful figure beating in public, Da Zuorong was young after all, and he was a little frightened, and Da Zuoli's face was cloudy.

After the meeting was dispersed, Ashina Yuan returned to the Turkic camp, intensified, and urged the army to attack the new city fiercely, leaving tens of thousands of corpses under the city wall and breaking through the south gate of the new city.

At this time, Quan Ce sent another text message, "I warn you in the name of the Great Zhou Heavenly Dynasty, the new city is not an auspicious place, according to the ominous, evacuate quickly, don't say anything unpredictable"

Ashina Yuanzhen sneered, ignored it, and just rushed and slammed it, Sun Wanrong in the city was also cornered, using the street terrain to desperately resist in street fighting, both sides had heavy troops, fighting across the street, the city was crowded, and the black pressure was densely packed with human heads.

The Turks suffered a little, and gradually gained the upper hand in the offensive, step by step, steadily and steadily, slowly compressing the Khitan space, and only need to work harder to fully occupy this new city.

Seeing such a situation, Ashina Yuanzhen didn't dare to take it lightly, just because from the beginning to the end, Quan Ce's army did not make any movement, which made him always think about it, but slowed down the pace of attack.

At this time, Quan Ce came to an invitation again, this time it was not a meeting, but an invitation to a night banquet, Ashina Yuanzhen happily went to the appointment, he was scratching his heart and lungs, he couldn't guess Quan Ce's thoughts, and he had a meal to investigate, but it was just right.

The same Banshan Pavilion, or the same group of people, above the banquet, the fragrance of wine is fluttering, singing and dancing are flying, Quan Ce is the host, diligently persuading wine, and Ren Ashina Yuan Town is knocking on the side in the open and secret, but the slightest wind of words is not revealed.

After three rounds of wine, the banquet has been ruined.

Everyone at the banquet, whether true or not, had fun.

Quan Ce Chang sighed, everyone knew that they were going to get to the point, they all put down their wine glasses and chopsticks, and stared at him, "I have already said that Xincheng is unlucky, but no one believes it, but what"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Ashina Yuanzhen's mouth, and Princess Yunxi looked at him silently, both of them with tense expressions.

Quan Ce got up, and walked to the beauty of the Mid-Mountain Pavilion with his hands on the side.

With the sound of horses' hooves, a knight rushed quickly, gradually approaching the pavilion, and was reflected by the torches around him, Xue Chongyin, the deputy lieutenant of the fireworks army.

Chief Murwei Hebule narrowed his eyes, he had already asked curiously, this cousin of Quan Langjun hadn't seen him for a while.

However, when Xue Chongyin was Sun Wanrong reining in the surrounding youth, he infiltrated the new city under the cover of the Khitan Duhuo people under Fu Tieshi.

Ashina Yuanzhen stood up suddenly, and also walked over, leading everyone to move together, fortunately, this pavilion is very large, enough for so many dignitaries to face one side, not crowded.

"Quan Langjun, everything is ready" In front of outsiders, Xue Chongyin behaved, dismounted and bowed, and raised his voice under the pavilion to report.

Quan Ce paused, glanced at Princess Yunxi deeply, and opened his mouth to spit out two words, "Order"

Xue Chongyin waved his hand, and the fireworks army behind him drew his bow and arrow, shooting a rocket into the night sky, with a terrible scream.

"Lang Jun" Princess Yunxi finally called out, but it was too late.

In the new city in the distance, because of the night, the Khitan and Turkic sides have stopped fighting, and behind the vigilant sentry post are tired and dormant thousands of troops.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Violent explosions erupted from near and far, erupting in all directions, throwing the stumps and severed arms of countless soldiers into the air, and countless bricks and tiles flew everywhere with firelight, and screams came and went.

The explosion lasted for more than half an hour, and the entire new city, like a huge fireball, disappeared along with tens of thousands of lives, leaving only ruins and broken walls and broken corpses, confirming their existence.

During the banquet, everyone witnessed this scene in a hurry, frightened, some of their faces were pale, some were trembling, Ashina Yuanzhen was dumbfounded, her lips trembled, but she couldn't make a sound, Princess Yunxi looked at Quan Ce blankly, and the whole person seemed to have lost her soul.

"Zeguo has entered the war map, and the people have no plan to be happy. Relying on the king's words to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither"

Quan Ce chanted softly, closed his eyes slightly, half-tilted his head, the cold wind was as cold as a knife, blowing his clothes and flying wildly, on him, the cruelty of swords, water and fire, and the compassion of poetry and elegance, strangely blended into one.

"Poof", it was Da Zuo who dragged his son Da Zuorong to kneel on the ground.

Quan Ce did not call out.

Everyone forgot the time, some stood, some knelt, silently looking at the new city, the fire was raging, and the miserable howl lasted for a long time.

It rained in the sky, mixed with snow, and Princess Yunxi burst into tears.

Quan Ce walked in front of her, stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, his face was apologetic, but also resolute, he never fought against each other, he did his best, and fulfilled the promise given to her, Da Zhou must win, he must take all the Khitan homeland, and he also fulfilled his promise to Da Zhou.

The more tears were wiped, the more Princess Yunxi burst into tears.

Her Langjun, who did not use a single soldier and buried tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers and horses, was proud of him.

Her people had been in battle for months, but they had not found an inch of land, and the whole army was almost wiped out, and she was heartbroken.

Her body and mind were torn apart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She finally knew the general situation, the clansmen were predestined, Lang Jun was chosen by herself, she was embarrassed by herself, she refused to give it to others, her cheeks were twisted in a weird shape, and she tried her best to give Quan Ce a thrilling smile and congratulate her big hero.

This painful and ugly smile deeply touched Quan Ce, and he leaned down and kissed her lightly on the forehead, and also shed a little teardrop.

The magnates of the white mountain and black water only stood silently beside them, their expressions solemn and indifferent, as if they were witnessing something, and they seemed to be relieved of something, the overall situation has been decided, who can do anything.

Pine desert, rain tonight.
