Northern Xinjiang, Yunhai Fortress.

The sun is setting and the sky is getting late.

The walls of the fortress, made of stone and stakes, were in tatters.

The façade has collapsed.

At the collapse gap, the soldiers of the Final Jin Empire who guarded the fort used their flesh and blood to pile up a mountain of corpses.

A shattered seven-star flag of the sun and moon, which symbolizes the martial might of the final Jin Empire, stands obliquely on the top of the corpse mountain.

The entire flagpole has sunk deep into the mountain of corpses, and the broken flags are hunting in the autumn wind.

Under the flag, more than a dozen final sergeants held the flagpole tightly with both hands and pounced on the flagpole with their own flesh and blood.

The bodies of these sergeants were filled with Turkic white feather arrows.

In front of the flag, an officer wearing the epaulettes of a partial general sat on the hill.

His head hung over his chest, covered in flesh and blood, and he clutched a ring-headed knife tightly in one hand and a spear in the other.

The spear pierced through the left chest, pierced through the body, and stabbed deep into the ground.

The blood on the wooden pole of the spear had long since dried purple and black.

In front of the gap in this city wall, more than 100 soldiers of the Final Jin Empire fell.

Obviously, around the military flag on the gap, there was an extremely fierce battle and fighting.

Along the breach, the corpses of both the enemy and the enemy intersected, and the deaths were strange and strange, stretching into the distance.

The grass has long since been dyed dark red.

From a rough point of view, in this desert of more than ten miles of square garden, at least thousands of casualties were suffered on both sides of the enemy.

Crimson blood merged into rivers of blood, large and small.

It is destined to be this autumn, a little moisture that the war has brought to this grassland.

After the beginning of spring, the grass in this soil will grow extremely dense and green.

A few vultures hovering in the air excitedly spotted the huge eating ground and swooped down with a shrill whistling.

More than a dozen wild dogs, which were tearing at the corpses on the ground, scattered in panic.

Guo Rui, the vanguard general of the rebel army in the north, the right admiral of the military household division of the military department, was ordered by the military commander of the great Sima Guo to travel day and night from Chang'an, the commander of Beijing, and arrived at the front line Yunzhong County seven days later.

He did not rest, and immediately dispatched 20,000 fresh troops from Yunnei, Yuyang, Mayi and other places to launch a counterattack against the Ashina Tuoqi Department of the Western Turks.

After more than ten days of bloody battles, they finally repelled the enemy who invaded the territory, and temporarily lifted the siege of Yunzhong and Dingxiang on both sides of the county.

When he led the generals to inspect the battlefield, the tragic scenes made him teary-eyed.

They dismounted in front of the broken military flag at the critical point of the sea of clouds, and then knelt down on one knee to bow to the soldiers who died heroically.

This is a group of soldiers with a national backbone and blood.

At the front of the two counties of Yunzhong and Dingxiang in northern Xinjiang, close to the border buffer zone, there are a total of six fortresses and castles.

There were more than 1,200 defenders in each castle.

This time, the 150,000 tiger divisions of the Western Turks attacked, and the first to bear the brunt were these six major fortresses, all of which were lost.

Among them, the sea of clouds and the meadow fort were the most tragic, the whole army was annihilated, and no one survived or surrendered.

The scene is tragic and miserable, but it can be sung and cried.

The horse pastures, cattle and sheep and other livestock and all the materials near the fortresses were looted by the Western Turkic soldiers.

Tens of thousands of burghers in the six fortresses escaped, killed and killed, and the rest were captured by the Turks as slaves.

"We want revenge."

"Blood debt and blood repayment."

"The Ultimate Jin Empire is mighty!"

“……”

The sergeants were full of emotion.

"General, let's catch up, it is estimated that the enemy has grabbed cattle, sheep and crowds, and he will not go fast, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard."

The defender in the clouds, the eagle general, Long Mingjian, came out of the ranks to hug his fists and ask for battle.

Yunzhong County belongs to the jurisdiction of Youzhou Prefecture, and the border army of Long Mingjian is subordinate to Youzhou Taishou, under the jurisdiction of Fan Hanjie, the general of Youzhou Daoxing Battalion.

It's wartime.

According to the order of the Imperial Military Hall, all the border armies in northern Xinjiang were under the jurisdiction of the rebel army in the north.

"You can't attack rashly, the Western Turks have 150,000 tiger divisions, and they are good at field warfare, and we have only 20,000 mobile troops that have been put together temporarily, and we must hold on and wait for the new military order from the commander."

Guo Rui said, looking at the other Yingyang general beside him, Lan Tianhe, the guard general of Dingxiang County, "What do you say, Brother Tianhe?" ”

"What the young marshal said is that we will set the border army and obey the young marshal's orders." Lan Tianhe arched his hand.

What else does this say, who doesn't know that the two of them are brothers in crotch pants.

Five years ago, Guo Ruizhen guarded Dingxiang County, and Lan Tianhe was his lieutenant.

Look at his titles, they are all different, young handsome, and more kind.

Guo Rui is the great Sima of the empire, the son of the generalissimo of the rebel army in the north, and is now a pioneer general, and it is not improper to call him a young marshal.

Let Guo Rui govern moderation, Long Mingjian was still a little unconvinced.

Five years ago, Guo Rui and him were both the chief generals of the county guard, with a four-rank martial arts.

Five years have passed, Guo's father and son were suddenly reused by the prince, Guo Rui is now the vanguard general of the rebel army in the north, the right commander of the military household division, and the three-rank military position, and he has been promoted two levels in a row.

And what about his dragon sword, he has silently guarded the frontier for five years, and there is no one in the court, so he still stands still.

But the trend of the times, the current enemy, Long Mingjian still has this awareness.

"No problem, young marshal, the border army in the clouds absolutely obeys your military orders, you can give orders!" Long Mingjian said in a muffled voice.

"Then Guo will thank the two brothers first." Guo Rui clenched his fists and said modestly.

Of course, he noticed the slightest expression of Long Mingjian, and he didn't pay attention to it, but raised his head and shouted:

"This general's order: Dingxiang, the two counties in Yunzhong, as well as the border posts and tuntai under their jurisdiction, will be strengthened and defended, and they shall not attack without authorization, and wait for the new order of the marshal to be decided, and those who violate the order will not be pardoned."

"No..."

Subsequently, Guo Rui ordered all six fortresses to be cleaned up, and the sacrificed soldiers were carefully registered, buried in a centralized manner, and a martyr's monument was erected.

The enemy's corpses were burned intensively, and the battlefield was also burned in a comprehensive manner, and the site was cleaned up with grass and wood ashes, and the dead corners could not be left to eliminate the hidden danger of the plague.

This is a hand he learned from the prince Yuanzhi in the disaster area outside the east of Jingshi City, and it is very suitable for use on the battlefield.

The generals beat their chests with their heads held high and carried it out very seriously.

Soon, the stagecoach team of the front-line military intelligence report set off in the starry night.

They galloped to Generalissimo Guo, who was on the march, the yamen of Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County, and Mayi County, the Yamen of the Yuyang Military Household Division, and the yamen of Bingzhou Mansion and Youzhou Mansion.

As well as the major border fortresses, the ranger posts on the frontier of foreign affairs, and the beacon cantonment.

The war readiness increased sharply, and the various troops began to cross the border to investigate.

The armory began to distribute weapons to the prisoners, so that they too could prepare for battle.

Heavy ordnance such as eight-ox crossbows, cart crossbows, and trebuchets that guarded the castle were repaired, installed, and commissioned.

All the preparations before the war were carried out in an intense, orderly, and high-speed manner, and the top and bottom were in unison, completely abandoning the previous situation of working in isolation.
