Chapter 16 Anthy still has a young man?
"Guo Lang, Guizi... Turtles are now ...... Can you tell me about what Turtles are like now? ”
As soon as Lu Shishi's question was asked, Qiuzi City immediately appeared in Guo Rong's mind.
Turtle ......
In Guo Rong's impression, all the cities in Anxi are rammed out of local and local sand, not to mention the low defense, and when it encounters a windy day, the streets are full of sandstorms.
If Guo Rong appeared in the Kaiyuan period, he would definitely be very uncomfortable when he saw the sandstorm, but Guo Rong appeared in the Zhenyuan period.
The sandstorm was a rare day for the Anxi Army, which was defending the two military towns of Qiuzi and Yanqi.
Because even the most ferocious and deadly Tibetans would not choose to attack the city when there is a sandstorm.
Although the Anxi army will also be harassed by the yellow sand, the advantage of defending the city is directly magnified, so there is no difference between the Tubo people attacking the city at this time and directly sending people to the head.
And every time the wind and sand are full of sky, it is also time for the white-headed veterans to tell meat jokes......
Recalling these, the pictures of the battle and leisure, and the countless scenes of being pitted by these veterans, Guo Rong rarely brought a smile.
"It's nothing special, it's just two lonely cities plus a group of white-headed old soldiers."
"White-headed old man? Is there no boy boy in Anzai? ”
Walking with Guo Rong for a few days, in the ordinary exchange, he already knew Guo Rong's age, and Lu Shishi's curiosity was ignited again.
Although Guo Rong was nearly thirty years old before the crossing, Guo Rong after the crossing is now a genuine young man!
At this time, Guo Rong was nineteen, if in previous years and other places, at the age of nineteen, he could accompany Rong Lieutenant, he was definitely from a family of gate valves, and the descendants of the heroes on the Lingyan Pavilion were just like that.
But this is Anxi, and being a captain in Anxi is an official position that draws a knife and goes into battle and licks blood with a knife.
Lu Shishi didn't believe that Anxi was a white-haired veteran, to be honest, Guo Rong could understand it, in fact, if he hadn't fought side by side with the veteran Youzi for three years, how could he believe that guarding the glory of the Tang Dynasty was a group of old men with an average age of more than fifty?
But Lu Shishi's unintentional words made Guo Rong suddenly uncomfortable.
Isn't there a boy boy in Anzai?
Naturally, there is!
In order to defend the last land of the Han people in the Western Regions, the young men of Anxi often put on armor before they were weakly crowned......
In the second year of Jianzhong (781), that is, the year when Guo Xin was named the king of Wuwei County, Guo Xin began to lay out, on the basis of not affecting the defense of the four towns, as much as possible to concentrate the young man in batches to Qiuci, if the situation is really irreparable, and finally defend Qiuci!
And the original owner of Guo Rong's body was one of the dozens of teenagers who transferred from Shule Town to Qiuzi.
Rao is like this, and the more than 200 people led by Guo Rong are already the young men of Qiuzi......
Guo Rong knew that Guo Xin's so-called order to go east for help was actually just to send the last seeds of the Anxi Army out, and not to accompany their group of white-haired old men to die in the huge tomb of Qiuzi.
However, Guo Xin still underestimated the Tubo people!
During the days of the eastward journey, the teenagers died in front of them one by one, until the last battle on the Gobi Desert in Xizhou......
Thinking of those young men with green faces, but with resolute expressions shouting that Guo Lang and Guo Rongrong had slept underground, Guo Rong's heart was sour.
If he could, Guo Rong was actually reluctant to leave Qiuzi.
He doesn't seem to know much about this world, and it seems that only Qiuzi, who has lived for three years, is the place he is most familiar with.
Qiuzi City, Anxi Military ......
These two words seem to represent his home, as well as his family......
Anxi and Beiting are bounded by the Tianshan Mountains, governing the Western Regions, and more than ten countries in Central Asia.
In addition to Lingnan, the Jiedu envoys in other places have 30,000 men and horses in their hands, and there is no upper limit, and there are countless people who have more than 100,000 troops.
During the Feng Changqing Dynasty, the Anxi Army, which was mainly recruited soldiers, was only 24,000 people on the list, and the Beiting Army was even less than 20,000.
But it was Anxi, and the Tang army, which added up to only 44,000 people, smashed the big cannibals who went east to the point of bleeding and broke a mouthful of steel teeth of the Tubo people.
Gao Xianzhi's feat of crossing the Green Ridge can be described as the pinnacle of lone expedition and mountain warfare in the ancient Central Plains Dynasty!
In the Battle of Talas, the expedition of less than 20,000 Anxi Iron Army, although it was finally stabbed in the back by the Qarluq servant army, it still played the demeanor of a Tang soldier.
Li Siye's 2,000 Mo sword soldiers, blocking tens of thousands of iron horses, the power of the Mo sword array made Guo Rong yearn for it......
Feng Changqing led the Anxi army to capture Dabolu, swept through Central Asia, and shocked the Quartet......
Thinking of these things that were praised by the veterans, Guo Rong under the night sky sharpened the lance in his hand with a whetstone and was silent for a long time.
In his system store, there are naturally Mo knives, as well as horse lances, equipment and other sharp weapons.
But having and using are two different things!
This is the same as the weapon proficiency shown in Guo Rong's system, without enough proficiency, it is impossible to exert the peak effect of the weapon.
The use conditions of the Mo Dao Array are harsh, all of them must be six feet tall and middle-aged men, and they also need to master the formation, footwork, art of war and the terrain suitable for the Mo Dao Formation in order to give full play to the maximum power of the Mo Dao.
Since fifty years ago, when the Tang Dynasty transferred Li Siye into the Central Plains to encircle and suppress the Anshi rebels, Anxi has not had a general who is proficient in the complete formation, pace, and art of war of Modao.
Although General Guo Xin is Guo Ziyi's nephew, he has only heard of the Mo Dao formation.
Guo Rong once thought that if he could master the Mo Dao formation, coupled with a strong crossbow and a hard bow, the two hundred Erlang might be able to successfully break through here......
Thinking of the more than two hundred years of Lang folded in the hands of the Tubo people, Guo Rong's hand clenched the lance pole tightly, and the creaking sound even made Lu Shishi next to him shudder.
Lu Shishi didn't know why one of his own questions would make Guo Rong, who was as fierce as a tiger and leopard against the enemy during the day today, be silent for a long time.
After nearly a quarter of an hour of silence, Guo Rong raised his head to look at Lu Shishi with red eyes and spoke with difficulty.
"You ask me, is the Anxi Army still there?"
"Fifty years of lonely hanging in the Western Regions, the Anxi Army is still there, Qiuzi is still there, and the seven thousand white-haired soldiers are still guarding the glory of the Tang Dynasty!"
"The two lonely cities of Anxi, like two nails, strangled the throats of the Tubo people, making it difficult for the Tubo people to sleep and eat, in order to pull out these two nails, the Tubo people have been bleeding in front of the Anxi army for decades!"
"You ask me, is there still a young man in Anxi?"
"Two months ago, there were 263 young men under the age of 21 in Qiuzi, and these 263 people formed the Eighth Regiment of Qiuzi, and I was their accompanying captain!"
"Our military order is to go all the way east to Chang'an to ask for help for Anxi."
