An army of 100,000 Chen soldiers was under the city of Ganzhou. The mighty military formations stood like mountains, all kinds of siege equipment were dense like forests, and the solemn and dignified murderous aura shrouded the entire ancient city of Ganzhou.

The walls were densely covered with rows of archers, with crossbows pointed far below the city, waiting for battle, and in the silence, behind them, there was a faint dust, and from the watchtower outside the city, you could see that the camels were moving rapidly under the drive of the shepherds. This city is surprisingly large, and the city is also surprisingly empty, which is completely different from the style of the city in the Central Plains. If you only look at the part near the city wall, you can almost understand it as a grassland surrounded by a high wall, and the complex is still more than two miles away from the city wall.

Some of these camels carried whirlwind cannons, and some carried huge rattan baskets containing pebbles the size of bowls, which were obviously important weapons for the defense of the city and long-range attacks on the Ganzhou side.

Tall and thin, wearing a white robe, the concave eyes and high nose of the Ganzhou Khan personally climbed to the top of the city. Commanding the battle, seeing the well-groomed battle formations outside the city, the night couldn't help but be secretly frightened. However, he can only fight, not surrender, he has no other choice, he is the Khan of Ganzhou, he is the emperor, and the local heroes who occupy all the state capitals in the Hexi Corridor can surrender, but an emperor, if he falls, how can he deal with himself?

Several princes rushed to the city to supervise the battle, including his princesses, these women also rode fast horses, shè sharp arrows, and were not inferior to men on the battlefield, in order to hold their territory, all the people in the royal family who could fight went to the city.

Ye Luosu's frightened eyes stared for a long time, and then slowly moved away from the angry ranks under the city, and looked behind them, the distant desert and oasis, his eldest son had already left Ganzhou before Yang Hao's army arrived in Ganzhou and flew to the various tribes outside the nomadic country to ask for help, but when will the reinforcements arrive?

The city has done its best, and has gathered 60,000 men who control the strings. Ye Luosu never doubted the courage of his soldiers in battle and the ability to kill the enemy, but he was not without a battle with the army of Li Guangrui in Xiazhou, and Li Guangrui wanted to continue to infiltrate his forces to the west. He wanted to continue to extend his influence to the east, and the Ganzhou Hui and Xiazhou parties had been fighting for more than 100 years.

In the past records, both sides had their own victories and defeats, but in the previous battles, Li Guangrui was mostly on the attacking side, fighting in the territory of Ganzhou, he occupied the geographical advantage, and Li Guangrui was also restrained by Linzhou and Fuzhou, as well as the pressure of continuous rebellion within the Qiang people of the party.

It was not until recent years that the situation in the entire northwest was reversed, and the arrogant Li Guangrui launched a war against Tubo and Huihui at the same time, and it was a two-front battle in the north and south, and the Ganzhou Huihui united with the Liangzhou Tubo Liugu and Longxi Tubo Shangbo Thousand Divisions, and for the first time prevailed, until Li Guangrui ceded all the territory west of Shatuo and promised not to use troops against Ganzhou and Longxi for ten years, the two sides ceased to fight.

The war that has not stopped for two years has hit Lee Kuan Rui. He also exhausted Ye Luosu's family funds, he wanted to use a year or two to accumulate strength, and then go west to Suzhou and Shazhou, solve the Long family and the Guiyi army, and then go back to deal with Xiazhou, who would have thought that before he could slow down, Xiazhou changed its master, and its strength was better than that of Li Guangrui's period.

Tubo's old friend Shang Boqian can't count on it, Yang Hao's announcement of westward expansion has not yet been announced, Luo Dan, the big head of the Tubo tribe in Liangzhou, went south, and fought with the comrades of Longxi Tubo yesterday, and then the prince of Chibang Songchi, a descendant of the king of Tubo Yalongjue, also ran to Longxi, fanning the flames, picking left and right, and I don't know what idea is playing, in short, Longxi Tubo was split into three pieces in an instant, and some tribes allied with Shang Boqian to deal with Liangzhou Tubo Rodan. The other part took refuge in Luo Dan and dealt with Shang Boqian, the most powerful tribal leader in Longxi, while the other part remained neutral and had an ambiguous attitude. Now that they are fighting in full swing, it is absolutely impossible for them to stop fighting and come forward for him to return to Ganzhou.

Can you survive this catastrophe in front of you?

Ye Luosu clenched the scimitar under his ribs, and there was murderous intent in his eyes......

Under the city, Yang Hao stood on his horse, and his waist was straight. Looking proudly at the city outline, but the city wall and moat are not very steep Ganzhou City, the closer to the depths of the desert grassland, the simpler the city building, the men on the desert grassland, more accustomed to riding horses, carrying a good bow, galloping on the battlefield, wielding a knife to kill the enemy, but at present, before he attacked Ganzhou, he had done enough work, internal affairs, diplomacy, strategic reserves, tactical exercises, whether it was a field battle or a city battle, he was sure to be invincible.

For the Ganzhou Khan Yeluofu, what he has to consider now is how to hold on, hold on to the city, consume Yang Haojun's vigor and baggage, and let him return in vain. For Yang Hao, what to consider is not whether he can defeat Ye Luosu, but how to win and how to do it at the lowest cost. Defeat this most powerful enemy on the road west to Yumen Pass.

Yang Hao Gujing Wubo's face showed a slight smile, raised his horsewhip, and pointed to the Ganzhou City in front of him, and the army like a mountain began to move in an instant. A huge army surged forward neatly, like a wave of *cháo water, the soldiers shouted the slogan of brushing together, pushing all kinds of siege equipment to advance towards Ganzhou City, and in the rumbling wheels, a huge new type of stone-throwing vehicles, siege vehicles, siege ladders, and ramming vehicles were like giants with teeth and claws.

The first to be launched was a crossbow battle.

A pint bow will be countless sharp arrows. Outside the shè journey of the Hui people in Ganzhou, they put the dark cloud-like sharp arrows on the head of the city, and the bed crossbow roared like a burst eardrum, and the crossbow arrows with the thickness of a child's arm were deeply shè into the Ganzhou city wall, and then the trebuchet began to start, and did not see the traditional stone thrower throwing a stone to hundreds of people dragging the rope back and forth The scene, I saw a piece of heavy and huge stone being thrown high, in the terrifying whistling, flying far through the air, smashing heavily into the city, smashing up a cloud of dust, smashing a ground of flesh.

In the first battle, a long-range attack, Yang Hao's army used many more advanced weapons than the other party to suppress the head of Ganzhou City. The soldiers hurriedly avoided the Tibetan soldiers' caves, and some of them did not have time to escape, so they squatted under the wall of the arrow stacks, and watched the rain of stones in horror, which poured irresistibly on the head of the city.

"Tom ......"

The war drums sounded, and the Hui soldiers in the city knew that the Xiazhou army had ended the attack and began to attack the city, so they hurriedly drilled out of the shelter, only to see that the entire city had been unrecognizable, and many places had been smashed to the point that there was no appearance of the city head, but they didn't have time to take a closer look, so they drew out a branch of feather arrows and quickly returned fire to the city.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”

The Xiazhou soldiers struck their shields with their swords and marched forward with neat steps, and as soon as they entered the range of arrows, the team that moved like a forest immediately became a rushing cháo water, and they held large wooden shields, resisting the rain of arrows on the one hand, and on the other hand, they rushed forward quickly, and people kept falling. An oasis of the sea of sand soaked in blood, but no one took a second look.

Yang Hao had already seen the more tragic city offensive and defensive battles than this, and when he saw such a scene for the first time, he was shocked; The second time he saw such a scene, his blood boiled; Now, he's numb......

If you want long-term peace and stability, if you want to achieve his dream, this sacrifice is necessary. He also wants to surrender without a fight, but if he wants to surrender without a fight, he must first have a strong force that will make the enemy feel hopeless and lose even the courage to fight.

After demonstrating his strength to make Nightfall Khan feel that his opponent is invincible, he is ready to let Nightfall Khan defeat him by himself.

That's what he came up with with in exchange for the greatest victory with the least casualties, and the first move has only just been laid......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Donghan Valley, South Kunwu, West Sanguan, North Xiao Pass, Guanzhong four dangerous passes.

The terrain of Xiaoguan is dangerous, and the northeast area of Huamachi, Dingbian is the key to entering and exiting. From Lingzhou to the south to the county seat, from Guyuan to the east to Yansui, more than 400 miles apart, among which only this county is in all directions. Relying on the surrounding topography and the Great Wall of Qin, there are a large number of fortresses perfectly linked, which can not only echo each other from afar, but also take in all the mountains, rivers, villages and roads within a radius of more than 1,000 zhang.

This critical pass is now in the hands of the Tibetan Shangbo Qianbu.

Out of Xiao Pass, over the Douling, you can enter the realm of Xiazhou, and then Zhe Ziyu and Zhu Yun are in this last pass, but it is difficult to take a step forward. Shang Bo Qianbu Tubo people also knew that if the snitch was allowed to pass Xiao Pass, it would no longer be possible to stop his way, so after chasing and killing, intercepting, and ambushing failed again and again, they continued to send people to chase and kill, and on the other hand, they made people rush to the front and make Xiao Pass's arrangement impassable.

When Jie Ziyu and Zhu Yun rushed to Xiao Guan, they were faced with a situation where the needle could not be inserted. Zhu Yun's Five Elements Escape Technique can disappear under the eyes of people, but she can't be in the dangerous place of layers of jǐng rings. Moreover, to perform the Five Elements Escape Technique, you also need the assistance of some small props, and after fighting all the way, the two of them are not only covered in bruises, but also many applications are lost. Not to mention, she also carries an excerpt, no matter how great her ability is, she can't take a big job to perform the escape technique.

Lying in a tuft of grass, carefully observing for a long time, the dusty Zhuyun shook his head and said, "No, like this, we can't get by." If you want to make a detour, you have to travel hundreds of miles, and the physical strength of the two of us has reached the point where the oil is exhausted. ”

The unkempt Zhai Ziyu was silent for a moment and said: "Jia Gongzi, your skills are better than mine, why don't you rush over alone, I will retreat along the same road." ”

Zhu Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I brought you here, how can I abandon you?" Nowadays, whether it is forward or backward, there are many dangers, where can we talk about security? ”

Excerpt Ziyu frowned and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

Zhu Yun gritted his teeth and said categorically: "The defense of this place is relatively weak, I will come forward to lead away the defending enemy, and you will take the opportunity to rush over and return to Xiazhou." ”

Excerpt Yu said: "No, you can't do anything to abandon your friends and leave, although I am a woman, I can't do such a thing." ”

Zhu Yun glanced at her, and said with an evil smile: "Then what should I do?" You and I are here to be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate? ”

Excerpt Yu said angrily: "When, are you still telling jokes?" ”

Zhu Yun smiled and said, "This son is both talented and beautiful, girl, you really haven't considered the possibility of marrying me?" ”

Jie Ziyu glared at her and said, "I just admire you very much, you have reached the point of exhaustion, and you still have the heart to make fun of me." ”

Zhu Yun shrugged and said, "From the first time I killed someone at the age of twelve, I was ready to be killed. What is there to be nervous about. ”

She stretched out her hand to take off the package that had been walking all the way and never left her body, handed it to Zhen Ziyu, tore off a piece of robe, wrapped a stone, and tied it to her shoulder again, and then said to Zhen Ziyu Zhengrong: "Folded girl, this black wrap, please transfer it to my family Taiwei, I entered Tibet this time, and the information I heard and an important thing stolen are all in it, which is very important to my family." ”

Excerpt Ziyu was about to refuse, but Zhu Yun had already intercepted her and said, "If you and I must leave someone to be the bait, I am more suitable than you." If you stay, you will definitely die, and I, with my skills and means, after leading away the enemy, if a person wants to flee for his life, it may not be impossible, so you don't have to fight with me anymore. ”

Excerpt Ziyu was slightly moved, and hesitated slightly: "You say...... The Tibetan people are chasing after each other, all for the sake of a thing in this package, what is it? Can...... Let it deliberately fall behind the hands of the Tibetans? In that case, the defense in front will inevitably be lax, and a dead thing, no matter how precious it is, will it be heavier than a life. ”

Zhu Yun shook his head and said, "No, do you know...... What the hell is here? ”

Excerpt Ziyu stared at her and said, "Are you willing to tell me?" ”

Zhu Yun grinned, and said leisurely: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity." Now, do you know what's inside? ”

Excerpt Ziyu's delicate body shook suddenly, and he lost his voice: "Inherit the jade seal of the country!" ”

Zhu Yun's eyes were full of smug gods: "Yes, what I stole is what I have stolen is ordered by heaven if I gain it, and if I lose it, I have exhausted the number of gases, and the imperial power is divinely granted, and the first emperor of orthodoxy and legitimacy." ”

Since the appearance of the first emperor Qin Shi Huang in the Central Plains, the seal of the country has become a token of the Chinese emperor. The emperors of all dynasties have taken this seal as a symbol and regarded it as an important weapon of the country. Where to ascend the throne and do not have this seal, always feel a little lack of confidence, Zhu Yuanzhang called himself the emperor of the three major regrets in his life, the first one is "the seal of the country". Such a treasure is naturally not comparable to the idle gold and jade treasure, and its value has far exceeded the treasure jade itself.

Zhen Ziyu was shocked and said: "After the death of Li Congke of the Tang Kingdom, the whereabouts of the Chuan Guoxi are unknown, how can it ...... How did it end up in your hands? ”

Zhu Yun said: "I also overheard from Shang Boqian, when Shi Jingtang led the Khitan soldiers to attack Luoyang, Tang Emperor Li Congke set fire to self-harm, and the world said that this heirloom seal was also buried in the sea of fire, but in fact, it was not, when the city fell, the eunuch and maid in the palace copied some property and fled for their lives.

He changed into civilian clothes and went out of the palace, an old man, who would beat him? He escaped from Luoyang safely. The old eunuch also knew that although the jade seal of the country was extremely valuable, he must not take it out and sell it, otherwise he would not only not get a penny of silver, but he was afraid that he would be killed, but he was reluctant to throw away such a valuable thing.

At that time, the Central Plains was full of heroes, each of them was hegemonic, the war was endless, many people fled to the border desert areas, some fled to Hexi, some fled to Longyou, this old eunuch fled all the way into Guanzhong, and was taken in by a Tubo herdsman. When the old eunuch was dying, he explained his identity, explained the origin of the jade seal of the country, and gave it to the herdsman. Now the Longyou Tubo people were first driven out of Weinan by the Song people, and fought hard with Li Guangrui in Xiazhou for two years, many tribes are destitute, and now they are fighting with the Liangzhou Six Grains and Tibetan Tribes, the descendants of the shepherd really can't stand it, so they disobeyed their grandfather's instructions, and took this jade seal to sell, he had a clever mind, and did not say that this is a jade seal of the country, just hope to exchange it for a few pennies. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yun smiled and said: "It's a pity, the name 'Ordered by the sky, both Shou Yongchang' is too loud, there is only one in the world, there is no semicolon, he is an illiterate herdsman who does not know these truths, but anyone who has some knowledge, who has never heard of the jade seal of the country." The jade seal fell into the hands of Shang Boqian, who killed everyone who knew about it, and offered the jade seal of the country as a treasure and collected it privately.

He will be allied with the tribes, after being regarded as the big leader, he is full of ambition, drunk and returned, drunk triumphantly took out this treasure to show off to his son, I heard the truth, then began to steal it. Shang Boqian sent so many men to chase after him, do you know the reason now? ”

Zhu Yun said, tightened his belt, moved the sword to the position where it was easiest to pull out, and said softly to Zhen Ziyu: "Please help me and bring you and this jade seal back to Xiazhou safely, okay?" ”

In his heart, he said suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhu Yun smiled: "Because, this jade seal is very important to Taiwei Yang." Fold girl, you are very important to Yang Hao! ”

She lightly pressed her hands on the ground, light as a tanuki, and suddenly jumped out, so fast that Ji Ziyu didn't have time to stop it......
