Chapter 14: The Night Attack of the Moon

Nearly 1,000 years after the end of the catastrophe in Tianmanshan Mountain, the state of peace that had been maintained for about ten centuries was finally broken, and wars broke out frequently around the world. It has been more than 143,000 years since the legendary creation of the world, and human beings have made progress in the whole process, from the evolution of species to this world, to the fire and roasting food, to the emergence of language and civilization. The progress and development of material civilization has corrupted people's minds and hearts, and more and more people are not satisfied with what they have, so the greedy and bewitched human hearts have begun to blindly possess and destroy like ghosts. Since the beginning of the world war, war, death, gunsmoke, and blood have become the main theme of this world, and countless civilians have been displaced for this reason, and a large number of people living in the dark have a far greater desire for death than for survival. The world has become devastated, yellow sand has risen everywhere, large areas of land have been submerged by the huge waves of yellow sand, too many people are living in a terrible hell on earth, and the fixed order that once maintained the peace of this world has completely come to naught.

Time has unconsciously arrived in the 124th year of the world war, and the world pattern shrouded in chaotic yellow sand has quietly taken shape. After hundreds of years of continuous wars, countless countries have been wiped out under the shadow of swords and swords, but the real war powers have also been preserved, and countless small countries dependent on the powerful countries have also survived the disaster. After years of war between the north and the south, the hegemony in military strength has already come to fruition. The first power north of the Chaos Valley is the Xie Ning Kingdom created by the Yalan people, but it cannot unify the north, because there are still many war strongmen who are still eyeing the northern lands, and the most eager of them are the Yayue people who cross the Gobi Desert in the northwest of the Xie Ning Kingdom. To the south of the Chaos Valley, there are three major kingdoms that are quite divided into the southern world, one is the Eastern Jin Kingdom located on the coast, the other is Lanzhu deep in the western inland, and the most mysterious is located in the southwest of the southern land, the Nine Kingdoms of Shanwan. The westernmost side of the human continent basically belongs to the Shengya Kingdom that is protected by the Holy Screen. The overlords of the land have inexplicably added a common enemy this year, that is, the pirate king Silas, who is active on the west coast of the world's oceans and the entire southern Durmoyed Sea, a notorious bastard bandit. On the north coast of the Pacific Ocean is the largest island in the world, Tanglin Island, inhabited by a primitive tribe called the Iliad, which has not joined the war until 124 years ago, and the same nature of the Black Cong Mountain Savage Race a thousand years ago has gradually disappeared in the historical deduction. The ancient ocean encompasses the entire north-south interface, the northernmost point is still the huge Beining Sea, near the southern end of the ice sea, which is said to be inhabited by the undead, and the southernmost point of the world is the world's extreme, 10,000-year-old frozen ice Tiantian Gul Island. There are many peace-loving countries in the main continent, but more of them are evil castles that believe in war as the creed of eternal life, such as the collision of sharp blades, short knives, and life and death are common in many places.

And the beginning of the story of the World War Period begins with the war between Xie Ning Kingdom and Yayue City.

The state of Xie Ning was founded in a basin in the middle of the Middle Dynasties, with continuous mountains on three sides, the vast Gobi Desert in the northwest, and undulating hills in the south. After the death of Xuanwu Emperor Yeats, the successive monarchs of Xie Ning also used the name of Xuanwu to proclaim themselves, in order to commemorate and cherish the memory of this emperor through the ages, from the beginning of Xuanwu Emperor I, II and III to this year has reached Xuanwu Emperor XVI. The reigning monarch in the first year of the World War was the promising Xuanwu Emperor XIV, who was named Ye Zheng, a wise and martial emperor with considerable military and political strategy. In the autumn of that year, the Wolf Men led a large number of masked and scimitar-wielding Yayue people through the secret passages of the Gobi Desert to attack Xie Ning to realize their ambition to march inland. Ye Zheng personally led the troops from Xie Ning Mountain, divided the troops to the end of the desert to block, Yayue people walked out of the secret passage and just entered the first deep mountain gorge was beaten to the sky, and the wolf didn't even see Ye Zheng's face before he went back to the desert. Since then, hundreds of years have come to harass Xie Ningguo countless times, and the grievances between the two families have also become deeper and deeper in the confrontation again and again.

A hundred years later, the current monarch of Xie Ning is the 16th Ye Lu of the Xuanwu Emperor who is only 17 years old. As a northern power, Xie Ning has always advocated justice and peace, and rarely takes the initiative to invade other countries to expand its territory, and many city-states are willing to pay tribute to it for protection. But it is very difficult to be alone in troubled times, not to mention that there are some wars that you don't want to fight but have to fight, and some wars that you want to fight but can't.

One long night in the winter of World War 124, the snow was so thick that the entire north was covered in snow. In the big woods outside Su Ye City, hundreds of pairs of bloodshot eyes were staring straight at the snowy city in the distance. These people are the Yayue people deep in the mountains at the northern end of the Gobi Desert, and they have organized a large number of soldiers and horses to prepare to attack Xie Ning on a snowy night. The snow became dim under the reflection of the night, and the eyes of the guards on the walls of Su Ye City in the Xie Ning Kingdom were blurred by the reflection of the snow's light, coupled with the continuous stay up all night to hold on, their spirits were somewhat trance-like, which made it difficult for them to see the condition of the ground clearly. After a few days of observation on the high ground, the Yayue people decided to enter the city at midnight on this day, taking advantage of the heavy snowfall. At nightfall, a large number of soldiers with ropes and swords quietly approached Suye City in the dark woods, and they were ready to choose the right time to capture the country of Xie Ning in one fell swoop.

At midnight, there were still sentinels patrolling back and forth on the city wall, and the Yayue people did not dare to act rashly from a distance. At this time, it was nearly two o'clock in the middle of the night, and Tang An, the general in the city, did not sleep late at night for some reason. He got up from his bed, walked to the window, and stared at the snow outside, feeling melancholy. "It's so snowy! It's really rare to see in decades, but it's a pity that the snow is not at the right time, this world really lives up to this grand scene, hey!" Tang An sighed lightly, then put on his clothes and walked out of the house on the snow.

Tang An is a well-known general in Xie Ning State, and he is also loyal to the country and the people. He accompanied the Emperor Xuanwu 15 to fight abroad for more than ten years, and he had unsurpassed achievements in resisting foreign enemies on the battlefield. Tang An, who is over 40 years old, is still not ambiguous about the safety of the country, and this kind of worry about the country and the people has also caused him to suffer from frequent insomnia.

Snowflakes fluttered wantonly in Suye City, and the streets looked a little strange light against the background of the snow, and the long night was slightly illuminated on the road ahead. Tang An slowly walked on the road to the city gate in heavy armor, and after a while, Tang An finally walked to the defensive city wall in the northwest of Suye City. The guards in front of the city wall saw that it was the general who was visiting late at night, and hurriedly pulled up their tired bodies to greet Tang An. Tang An smiled and patted the guard on the shoulder and said, "It's really hard for you, it's okay, just sit down and rest", after saying that, he slowly walked up to the upper part of the city wall with the silt of the stone staircase.

Only two or three of the soldiers on the city wall were still looking at the sky with their eyes open, but the tired and sleepy look was evident at a glance. Seeing that the time was ripe, the people of the Avaki began to set out from the woods in front of the city, and they carefully marched in the light of night with the tools they used to climb the city. By this time, most of the sentinels had already dozed off, and they were tired from standing in the cold wind for a long time, and the whole night of holding out was indeed unbearable for them, and everyone thought that the enemy should stop for a while on this snowy night, so many of them slackened. After Tang An went up to the city wall, he didn't blame the soldiers for seeing this scene, he could deeply understand everyone's difficulties. Several soldiers, who were still half-open but had almost fallen asleep, thought they were dreaming when they saw the general's visit late at night. In order to confirm whether they were really dreaming, the two soldiers who were still wandering by the city wall deliberately approached Tang An to see what was going on. After they rubbed their sleepy eyes vigorously and confirmed that the person in front of them was indeed a general, the tired sleepiness disappeared in an instant. They were immediately ready to wake up the sleeping soldiers guarding the city, and Tang Anxin hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. "Don't call don't scream, let everyone sleep, you're all too tired, this snow is really distressing to make a quilt, I can't sleep and take a walk." The two guards took a step back and did not speak.

After Tang An finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the distant mountains and the dark sky, looking at the overwhelming goose feather snow outside the city, he remembered the old saying "Ruixue Trillion Year", if it weren't for this damn war, then the people would be a bumper harvest in the next year, but because of the existence of the war, this heavy snow not only could not bring a bumper harvest, but also increased the burden of the people, thinking of this he hated the war more and more. Suddenly, there was a noise of chirping from under the city, and after Tang An paused for a while, he instinctively glanced down, and what he saw scared Tang An into a cold sweat. Hundreds of people who were as silent as snakes climbed up cautiously, and Tang An shouted in shock: "It's not good, get up quickly, the enemy is coming!" Several half-awake soldiers immediately looked down after hearing the shout, more and more soldiers gradually woke up from their sleep, and the Yayue people seemed to know that their whereabouts had been exposed after hearing the increasingly noisy sound above, so they did not press their steps but quickly climbed up.

The sentries stood up one after another and picked up the weapons in their hands, the soldiers on the top of the tower blew the battle horn vigorously, and it was not quiet in Suye City in the middle of the night, and a large number of soldiers rushed to the front line to support after waking up from their sleep. The Yayue soldiers who climbed the city had no way to retreat, they had to continue to go up against the other party's rain of swords, guns and arrows, and the Yayue people who were still under Su Ye City released arrows to cover those snake-like comrades, but at this time it was useless, the first wave of Yayue people who climbed the city were all killed by Tang An and others, and when the second wave was still halfway through the city wall, the reinforcements in Su Ye City had already arrived. The black-clothed man standing at the head of the city saw that the general trend had gone, and decisively ordered the whole line to retreat, and the Xie Ning people did not give the Yayue people a chance to escape, thousands of dense feather arrows flew towards the city, and a few Yayue soldiers escaped from the arrow net under the cover of heavy snow and night.
