Chapter 468 - The Day Gangneung City Breaks

When they first left the Tianjue Mountain Range, Lin Yan and the others were still relatively cautious. But then he found that this worry was a bit redundant, after all, Yang Guang couldn't be bored, and he had been arranging a team of people to ambush them outside the Tianjue Mountain Range.

did not continue to return to Nanban, Lin Yan and his party took a detour to the Tang Realm, and now the primary goal is to figure out the situation first.

Naturally, it takes a lot of time to make a detour, but it is too dangerous to cross the Heavenly Absolute Mountain Range, and once you enter the true core, you can't predict what kind of danger you will encounter. Now I'm not in a hurry, so there's no need to take that risk.

Moreover, this time on the road can also be used to familiarize himself with his own state, so as to master this new power more perfectly.

It's just that after the trek, when they entered the Tang Realm, they encountered trouble, because the investigation became much stricter, and after inquiry, Lin Yan and others knew that it was a war.

In fact, the border between Nanban and Eastern Tang was originally tense, but some merchants could still pass normally. But now it's different, no matter what your identity is, you will be subjected to far more interrogation and questioning than usual, and if something goes wrong, you will be arrested immediately.

Looking at this situation, Lin Yan frowned, the identities of these people are more or less problematic, it is a little difficult to walk through the passage on the surface, if they don't get it right, they will be arrested as spies, and then it will be troublesome.

When Lin Yan joined the army as Yan Ling, he also caused a lot of trouble, and now his wanted notice may not be revoked!

As for Ming Ya being the princess of Nanban, Monk Chen and Guo Toad belong to the people in the rivers and lakes who are not controlled by the imperial court, and Miao Miaomiao has no idea what the actual background is except for the identity of the disciple of the Medicine King.

All in all, if they want to cross the border without making a fuss, they have to think of something else.

Fortunately, Lin Yan is now a master of the Innate Realm, and it is not too difficult to find a relatively weak place to pass through. Of course, this is also because the two sides are only small frictions now, and there is no full-scale war yet, otherwise the level of martial law will be raised again, and it may not be so easy.

After all, those generals may not be afraid of fighting in battle formations, but they crawl to assassinate them, and the attack and killing of high-level martial artists is still not a small threat to the generals.

It's just that this kind of method is generally not used easily by both sides, because once it starts, it becomes a "beheading plan" between the two sides, and in the end people are panicked, but it is difficult to affect the overall situation.

The game between countries will not play a decisive factor because of the death of a few important people, but can only have a great impact. As long as the national strength remains, it will eventually recover.

After Lin Yan took Mingya and others across the border smoothly, he forged a new identity and began to understand the current situation.

Lin Yan, Ming Ya, and Miao Miao Miao pretended to be students on a study tour, because the first two were originally students of the academy, so there was no sense of disobedience when they changed into Confucian shirts, and Miao Miao Miao obviously received a very good education in addition to pharmacology, and now it is naturally very compatible.

As for Monk Chen and Guo Toad, they are obvious people in the rivers and lakes, and there is no need to deliberately pretend to be students, just let them play the role of bodyguards and guards, but it is also very reasonable.

Soon, Lin Yan and others grasped the current situation, feeling the rapid change and arranging the next step.

With the strength of these few people, it is obviously difficult to shake the overall situation, and there is no need to meddle in disputes between countries, and it is time to wait and see how the situation will develop next.

However, the rapid change in the situation was something that no one expected. The Western Wilderness directly inserted the army into the hinterland of the Tang State with an unstoppable charging attitude.

I don't know if the desert people are too brave, or the soldiers of the Tang army are too weak, in short, the battle situation is one-sided, and it is only after the arrival that a large army can be able to block its offensive.

Now although this army of desolate people is brave, but it is a lone army, the Eastern Tang side is planning to encircle and swallow them, but the pressure on the north and south sides has increased in an instant, so that the Tang State has to divide most of the troops to deal with the situation over there, and for a while, it seems that some people are short of manpower.

Originally, the Western Wilderness should have been relatively divided and chaotic, but what was the reason for the sudden appearance of such a powerful army, which made the Tang people extremely puzzled, and once suspected that there was something wrong with their intelligence system.

In fact, in the face of this sudden attack in the Western Wilderness, the Eastern Tang Dynasty did not receive any news in advance, which really made people lose confidence in this intelligence system.

The Northern Desert Buddha Kingdom still maintained a tentative attitude and did not find too fierce a conflict with the Tang Army, while the Southern Barbarian side seemed a little unscrupulous, and the intensity of the attack was far greater than before.

Because of the relationship between the Western Wilderness and the Northern Desert, Nanban felt that he saw an opportunity, so he was ruthless in his actions.

In the Metaverse, the world is divided into nine parts, the Southern Barbarians, the Western Wilderness and the Northern Desert each account for two, while the Eastern Tang Dynasty occupies the third, and it is still the most fertile and rich land, which will inevitably cause their extreme imbalance.

In the past, the Tang State was strong, and they did not dare to touch its edge easily, and some conflicts were controlled within a certain range and had a bottom line.

But now the situation is different, the successive rebellions in the Tang realm have consumed a lot of its national strength, including the former prince who raised troops and confronted the Tang Emperor Li Luolin under the banner of orthodoxy.

Of course, he didn't rebel directly, after all, the title of "righteousness" still needs to be called, but he just said that there were traitors and villains around the Tang Emperor, and he was just persecuted, so he had no choice but to raise troops to purge the court, and there was absolutely no disobedience.

It's just that this kind of thing is just for others to hear, and I'm afraid even he won't believe it.

Under such circumstances, the Tang State was already in the midst of internal and external troubles, and lost its former strength.

Although Yang Guang's ascension process is not glorious, it is undeniable that he is a real hero, and he has his own keen vision and judgment for the battle situation. Even if the Xiaose Rebellion has not been calmed down, he still resolutely sent troops to attack Tang, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

In addition to these large-scale armies, some of the usual bandits and bandits saw that they were profitable, so they gathered men and began to burn and plunder.

These green forest strongmen have the slogan of "chivalry and righteousness" in their mouths, but in fact, they are doing some dirty things.

Whether it is some rich Zhuangzi or poor peasant households, in short, they are cold and cold, and they rob everything they can, including gold, silver, rice, and women, and men and everything they can kill.

These people are essentially bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and they do not dare to provoke the army and some large cities, but even so they have caused a lot of damage, and the people are panicked.

When the desolate people dragged the Tang army's large army, the Nanban took advantage of the loophole and broke through the border, and the army directly entered Jiangling.

This can be regarded as an important town of the Tang Kingdom, and the wealth it has is unimaginable, before that, the Tang Kingdom never thought that such a thing would happen. By the time it's a foregone conclusion, it's too late!

The Southern Barbarians are still a land of hardship in nature, but they are much better than the Western Wilderness and the Northern Desert. But wealth is still concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and the barbarians at the bottom are still living in poverty.

When the city of Gangneung was broken, the visible prosperity directly made the eyes of these soldiers widen, and then they coveted it, and after receiving orders from above, they launched a plunder like a locust crossing the border.

Murong Ke ordered "no sword sealing for three days", he naturally didn't have much interest in these gold, silver and jewelry and other things, but he also knew that the soldiers below needed these things, so he simply let them grab them!

In his view, the way to use soldiers requires not only military discipline, but also the use of interests to mobilize the enthusiasm of soldiers. In this way, they can willingly go to work.

When these barbarians entered the city, they began to burn and loot unscrupulously. For a time, the originally prosperous and wealthy Gangneung became a hell on earth, and the cries shook the sky, and the blood flowing on the streets gradually gathered into a stream, which lasted for a long time.

During this period, countless women were humiliated, some of them were so fierce that they would rather commit suicide, but some of the mad barbarians were unwilling to spare even their corpses.

More weak women are powerless to resist, some are ruthlessly killed after being bullied in turn, and some become indifferent, as if they have become a walking corpse, not knowing who to tell about their suffering.

In the house where the husband and wife were originally served, several fierce barbarians suddenly broke in, abused his wife in front of the husband, then killed his children with a cruel smile, and finally ended his life with a knife in the man's angry, desperate but powerless gaze.

Something like this happens every day, and these barbarians have become devils, completely unleashing their darkest side and doing the ugliest things in the world.

Later, there were more and more corpses in the city, exuding a foul smell, and the high-level leaders of the Nanban side were also afraid that there would be a big problem if there was a plague or something, so they were transported the corpses outside the city.

Three days later, as truckloads of corpses were transported out, the mass graves outside the city were already piled up on more than a dozen hills, and they couldn't even hold these corpses!

The black crows are noisy, the wild dogs are shuttling among them, and there is a scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The massacres in the city ended, but order was not restored, but the killings on the surface were reduced and turned into the shadows.

Plunder has tasted the sweetness, and it is impossible to stop these barbarians. And the top management seems to be turning a blind eye and letting this kind of thing develop.

They stopped at Gangneung and used it as a base to begin to spread towards the surrounding cities, but they did not spread their forces too far to prevent the Tang army from seizing the opportunity to break them individually.

At the suggestion of Mo Yukan, some of the rich and powerful families who cooperated with the city were still retained when the city was slaughtered, in order to restore the city's functions in a short period of time and facilitate the next expansion.

Whether these people were sincere or false, the barbarians gave them a certain amount of protection, and they naturally did not dare to think about it, and they started to operate as soon as possible, and Gangneung began to become the reserve granary of the Southern Barbarians.

After the city's functions gradually recovered, there began to be a flow of people in and out, but it was quite strict.

On this day, some outsiders scattered into Gangneung City, dressed in various appearances, seemingly unrelated, but faintly connected.

One of the young men with a hat raised his head, his deep eyes revealed a look of hatred, and he whispered: "Barbarians, wash your necks and wait, your time of death is coming!" ”
