Chapter 357: Beacon Flames

Shengjing City is cloudy today, even the strong light of dawn has not broken through the heavy clouds, and the city is overcast.

It's not just the weather that's cloudy, it's also people's hearts.

In the early morning of last night, the news of the breaking of the border between Yizhou and Qingzhou was announced to the world with the official consent of the Tang Dynasty.

In the early morning, the strong man who rubbed his eyes and was about to rush to his feet saw the dense bulletin boards in the streets and alleys of Shengjing, and was shocked and couldn't say half a word.

The people around him gathered more and more, but there was a dead silence.

People feel a little cold and look up at today's hazy sky, there is no sun!

The news that Yizhou and Qingzhou border passes were broken one after another spread through the streets and alleys of Shengjing at an unimaginable speed in the early morning.

Even the children are sad and have no intention of playing, and the older people are even more worried.

Therefore, today's Shengjing City is very depressing.

Zhang Xiaodao felt this depression, and as he walked down the street to buy some breakfast, he saw the anger in people's eyes, and also saw the neighbors who would make a big noise because of a little thing.

Zhang Xiaodao understood that the people of Shengjing needed catharsis, so he hung his head and bought a few big buns, the boss was obviously absent-minded, and the service attitude was extremely bad, but no customer blamed him.

Back at home, Wang Luohan also seemed to notice that the atmosphere of the city was not right, and the two of them ate breakfast in silence, and Zhang Xiaodao finally spoke: "I'm going to Futu Temple." ”

Naturally, when I went to Futu Temple, I wanted to see the monument, and Wang Luohan, who heard the words, showed a worried look.

Zhang Xiaodao held her hand like Wang Luohan yesterday, very firmly.

Wang Luohan nodded and agreed, but after Zhang Xiaodao got up, she reminded: "I will cry, make trouble, and hang myself." ”

Zhang Xiaodao turned his head and felt that Wang Luohan, who seemed to return to the mortal world after being pregnant, was a little more cute.

Walking out of his small courtyard again, Zhang Xiaodao did not go straight to Futu Temple. Instead, he was about to go to the mountain behind the academy to see the teacher, but he ran into Wang Da Niu at the door.

Wang Da Niu naturally calculated the time, and went straight to the palace with Zhang Xiaodao.

Zhang Xiaodao didn't remember how long it had been since he had entered the palace, but he felt that the palace in his eyes today was very cold and lifeless.

The blue bricks and blue tiles in front of me, and the cornices of the vermilion walls are no longer gorgeous, because the gloomy weather seems to have dimmed even the color a lot.

When the gate of the imperial city saw the carriage coming, it was opened, and with the sound of the door opening that seemed to resound through the heavens and the earth, Zhang Xiaodao, who exposed his head, saw an empty avenue that seemed to be paved with white jade. It's even more deserted.

The carriage came all the way to a certain temple, Wang Daniu and Zhang Xiaodao got out of the car and walked into the temple under the awe-inspiring eyes of the guards.

There are many acquaintances in the hall, there is no meeting, Shi Niang and Li Zizhi are sitting on the side chair and drinking tea, Zhao Donghai and the ruffian are talking about some kind of expensive wine, Li Yuemei is holding a plate of grapes and stuffing her mouth, Tang Qinian naturally looks a little silly, only the queen mother is closing her eyes and contemplating.

Zhang Xiaodao locked his eyes on Tang Qinian. A smile.

Tang Qinian finally looked away from Li Yuemei, and then stood up, and the brothers hugged him fiercely, and the joy was indescribable.

Soon after. Mr. Li Zizhi finally asked: "Little knife, there is only one thing for Da Niu to call you." ”

Zhang Xiaodao immediately became solemn, and then Li Zizhi asked: "Since you have mastered the law of time, is it possible for the monks in the north of the city?"

This sentence made everyone's eyes lock on Zhang Xiaodao's face.

Zhang Xiaodao naturally thought about this problem. He nodded heavily, "Theoretically possible." ”

This sentence gave a lot of blind thoughts to the real big people of the Tang Dynasty in this palace, and this kind of blind thinking naturally made their eyes brighten.

Zhang Xiaodao pursed his lips and said, "I'll go to the north of the city later." ”

Everyone didn't say a word of greeting, and they couldn't wait to kick Zhang Xiaodao to the north of Shengjing City!

............

............

It was a gloomy day for the people of Shengjing. But for the people in Longyan City in the Western Regions, it was extremely bloody.

After the army of the Western Regions survived the Qingzhou border pass, it naturally wanted to forcibly occupy the three cities of Longyan, as a springboard for the Western Regions to march into the Tang Dynasty, just like the Great Wilderness occupied the six passes of Yizhou as a base.

The war started in the early hours of last night, and the offensive and defensive battles were carried out until dawn, and countless corpses were thrown under the old city walls, and the army of the Western Regions finally entered the city!

After the Xia Army Uprising in Longyan City last year, there are actually very few original locals living in Longyan City, and most of them are Tang Army.

Therefore, Longyan City, which was full of Tang troops, began to catch turtles in the urn

After the influx of the Western Regions army, instead of taking the city devastated, the casualties were more severe than those during the siege.

The main street of Longyan City is a blue brick paved avenue that runs through the south and north of the city, which can accommodate nearly ten horse-drawn carriages walking side by side.

But at this time, it can no longer accommodate one, because there are corpses all over the ground.

It is hard for the people of the Western Regions to imagine that they have covered this wide street with flesh and blood one after another, because most of them have died inexplicably.

Obviously, it has always been not the city wall that the Tang Dynasty people have been prepared to defend, but in the city, they are in groups of three or five, ten people in teams, shuttling through Longyan City.

Traps, cold arrows, black fists, endlessly.

Cooperate tacitly, act decisively, and command unity!

And the army of the Western Regions that is frequently recruited has no way, because as soon as Longyan City is broken, the army of the Western Regions will no longer be twisted into a rope, and troops from various countries want to seize the first credit, which gives the people of the Tang Dynasty too many opportunities.

Blood appeared in all corners of the city, in the walls, in the eaves, in the window lattices, in the streets, and by the gutters.

By the time the people of the Western Regions who had been completely beaten reacted, it was already too late, and the entire Longyan City had been reduced to a human purgatory, so they had to stick their corpses on the flagpole and dance in the wind.

Situ had to announce the withdrawal of his troops, knowing that if he could not carry out a unified operation, it would only cause more and more casualties.

The time for the withdrawal was extremely short, and after just a stick of incense, the army of the Western Regions was once again ready to rush into Longyan City.

However, at this time, there were no more hidden arrows, traps, etc. in Longyan City, and some were just an empty city full of corpses of the Western Regions army!

It's a terrible feeling.

It's like you've been beaten by the enemy so much that you can't find the north, south, and west. But you know that once you charge up a punch, the enemy will fall, but when you charge up and throw this punch, the enemy is gone, and you hit just a ball of cotton.

Naturally, the Tang Dynasty army could not really disappear, but withdrew from Longyan City in an orderly manner.

As long as you stand on the eastern city wall, you will see that the army of the Tang Dynasty is retreating, but no one in the Western Regions dares to chase at this time, because once it is pursued. What awaits them is likely to be a series of traps that make people feel embarrassed and even vomit blood.

The army of the Western Regions won, and they invaded Longyan City.

But the whole army did not have the slightest joy of victory, because the city was full of corpses of people from the Western Regions, even if the corpses of the Tang Dynasty could occasionally be seen, it was only a rarity, and it was not enough to vent the anger in his heart.

Obviously, in terms of war, the Western Regions are several grades worse than the Tang Dynasty.

The Great Wilderness did not think that they were much worse than the Tang Dynasty in terms of war, because they had a unified command. And the warriors they thought were the toughest in the world.

The Great Wilderness army that advanced into Yizhou was in a mess, but it didn't take into account the surrounding small towns, but wanted to take Jiuyang City directly!

There is a wound on the wall of Jiuyang City, which was split by Shao Rong back then.

Now the wound is gone. Instead, more wounds, densely packed and criss-crossed!

The Great Wilderness Army has besieged Jiuyang City for three days, and Jiuyang City seems to be crumbling. But in reality, it is as solid as a stone.

Because the Great Wilderness made a mistake.

There was nothing wrong with Shao Donghua's goal of taking Jiuyang, because once he occupied Jiuyang City, the Great Wilderness would gain a firm foothold in Yizhou.

There is no entanglement with the surrounding towns. There is nothing wrong with the speed of the soldiers, after Jiuyang City was besieged, it was indeed impossible to get the strong support of the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Wilderness seemed to be about to succeed.

But no one expected that the small towns around Jiuyang City could form combat power, which was the mistake of the Great Wilderness.

These towns have long since changed from dozens to several, twisted into a rope, when the Great Wilderness army drove straight in, they didn't make any moves, and after Jiuyang City and the Great Wilderness army formed a containment, their actions were very big!

Lingyin County is one of the small counties with the largest action!

Of course, the current Lingyin County can no longer be called a county seat, but more like a small city.

More than 10,000 people in the border army of the Tang Dynasty lived in Lingyin, and cooperated with Lingyin Diao people, attacked the reinforcements of the Great Wilderness again and again, and intercepted countless grains and grass!

Lingyin County's style naturally caused the encirclement and suppression of a small force in the Great Wilderness, and then after paying a heavy price, they found that the waist board of this small city was actually very hard!

Zhou Zhongxi's waist board has always been very hard, because he is the first county commander in the world.

In the face of war, he did it harder, and Lingyin County's repeated attacks were all due to his negotiations with the border army generals to finalize the plan.

The most important thing is that the border soldiers who came to Lingyin County and the Diao people in Lingyin County are harder,

Even if they pay the price for each sortie, there is no doubt that the receipt is greater than the cost!

Monhanbaku did not participate in these surprise attacks, not because he was not qualified, but because he was not ready.

However, when he ate the pork stewed vermicelli brought by the pretty widow for the fourteenth time, he couldn't sit still any longer, so he found Sun Jian.

Sun Jian was very busy, but when he saw Meng Han Baku, he still pulled him to avoid everyone and came to a remote place.

The secluded place was not dark, and the torch propped up by a wooden iron basin emitted a reddish glow that reflected the cheeks of the two men.

Sun Jian knew the identity of Meng Han Baku, so he didn't arrange for him to do anything before.

Menghan Baku came to him today, and Sun Jian didn't know what he was going to say, just frowned.

Menghan Baku took a deep breath, raised his dark cheeks and said, "I'm ready to kill!"

Sun Jian didn't have any joy, but frowned deeper.

Menghan Baku took a deep breath: "I'm ready to kill the people of the Great Wilderness. ”

Sun Jian's brows stretched, a little happy. (To be continued......)
