So sound.

Boiling and reversing, the world is steaming.

The people who were excited and exploded, they went in droves towards the north.

Calling the name of the Great Yan, shouting the voice of the Great Yan Emperor.

The whole Qingzhou is completely boiling!

And naturally.

This is the case in Pu County, and other counties are also very similar.

…….….….….….

Meanwhile.

Qingzhou Pass.

This is the national boundary limit outside the Qingzhou link.

Today, the officers and men of the Tang Dynasty in Qingzhou Pass continue to patrol and stand guard day after day.

Outside their pass, there were more Yan and Turkic armies than before, all gathering.

But they didn't care, because the people above said that neither the Turks nor the Great Yan would come in, and what should be done normally should be done now.

However....mutations sudden.

"Knock knock...."

The earth trembled.

"What sound?"

The Tang soldiers on the front line frowned slightly, and looked up at the source of the voice.

This look is still frowning, and the next moment......an extremely frightened and frightened look suddenly emerges.

In front of him, there was a group of Turkic cavalry of the Black Crow!

The list goes on and on!

"Turkic! The Turks are coming! ”

"Ignite the wolf smoke, quickly ignite!!"

“…….”

Throughout Qingzhou Pass, there were sounds of panic and fear everywhere.

They hurried back, and also hurriedly fell down the gate of the checkpoint, thinking that the Turks were all cavalry, and the blocking of this gate could allow them to quickly adjust first.

However, the floodgates had just fallen, but for some reason they rose again.

"What's going on, how can the floodgates be raised again?"

"I don't know, there must be something wrong down there!"

"There are traitors, damn it! Follow me like a gate room! ”

“…….”

There was a Tang commander who led people like a gate room, but before he got there, a large number of Turkic cavalry had already entered the pass and started killing.

The Turks, who had prepared early, were still elite cavalry, and the Datang border defenders who were in a hurry and were not elite, which was stronger or weaker, and the strength on paper was already biased.

Not to mention the raid status.

this day.

Qingzhou Pass, lost.

Following the Turkic soldiers coming to Weishui two years ago, this northern border of the Tang Empire was opened again.

And also still....Turkic!

….….….….….….

Yecheng.

This is the second large-scale city of the Tang Dynasty after the Qingzhou checkpoint, and it links the two-way route to Chang'an and Youzhou, which is a battleground for soldiers.

The second day after the loss of Qingzhou Pass.

Just in the morning, an urgent notice was delivered to Yecheng, and almost all the generals in the city were in the hands of them.

The Yecheng officials and generals who got the news all sat up in shock, with a look of horror and shock in their eyes, and read the letters they had just received, text by word, one by one.

"This !!"

Li Dajun, who had cut off one arm, the Yecheng guard, gasped, his face was shocked and inexplicable, and he hurriedly said goodbye to his wife, left the mansion, got on his horse at the door, and rushed to the north gate of Yecheng as fast as possible.

He was running so fast in the city that the people in the streets felt the wind blowing in their ears.

What's more, they didn't know what was going on, they just heard a gust of wind blowing by.

In just two quarters of an hour, Li Dajun arrived at the north gate of Yecheng, and from a distance, he saw an extremely familiar figure above the north gate, one step faster than him, and had already arrived there.

"Is the message of the letter true? Are there really more than 100,000 refugees who are about to arrive in Yecheng? ”

As soon as he went to the north city gate, before anyone arrived, Li Dajun's voice came from afar.

In the voice, there was an inexplicable sense of horror, and he came to the side of the deputy general in an instant.

Adjutant General Li Haiying snorted and said in a deep voice: "General, it's true!" Qingzhou Pass and Changsu City were both lost, and it can be determined that the Turks have made a comeback again. ”

"At present, the defenders of Changsu City are still resisting the pace of the Turkic attack, and the generals there are fighting to the death for us to welcome the fleeing people into Yecheng and notify Chang'an."

"Qingzhou Pass and Changsu City were lost in just one day, all of this is too fast!"

"General, do you know what that means?"

Li Dajun frowned slightly, the matter in this morning's letter belongs to the national level.

There is no reason for the scouts to be so slow to reach Yecheng.

There is only one reason for the slowness.

That is the carrier pigeon that sent the message before, and it was all intercepted!!

Li Dajun said coldly: "There are unknown forces controlling all this? Intercept our carrier pigeons in the country! And it is complicity with the Turks! ”

Li Haiying nodded: "Yes, General, the scouts of Changsu City just told me that he was the twelfth batch of scouts who rushed to Yecheng, and it was he who let us know about the huge disaster in the south." ”

"The twelfth batch of scouts sent out to bring the news to us..."

This also shows that the first eleven groups of scouts are all dead! This unknown force, their hidden power, is not trivial. ”

"This can be determined to be a premeditated action than the last change in Weishui! The Turks are fully prepared! ”

Li Haiying's voice was very low.

"At this juncture, the empire has been suffering continuously, and the Turks are moving south, which is really ....extremely bad news."

Li Dajun laughed at himself, but took a deep breath again, his eyes solemn: "But this time! There will definitely be no return to the change of Weishui! ”

"This time, General Ben is here! And my Tang generals and soldiers will also try their best to resist the enemy, give Chang'an time to react, and gather soldiers and horses from all walks of life! ”

Li Haiying nodded: "Yes, General, we are here this time!" ”

said.

Even though they cheered each other on, the scene still had a depressing atmosphere, and then Li Haiying pointed his finger to the position of the sea and sky outside the city.

"General, look over there, they're coming!"

Li Haiying was a little pleased.

There, the scene of black pressure and dusty is a convoy of horses, densely packed, as if boundless, I don't know where the edge is.

On both sides of the ranks, there were also a large number of soldiers of the Don Army, and countless soldiers guarded the edge.

In the sky above the team, crows and birds were also circling and flying, as if there was a great terror behind them.

At the front of the team, there is the general of Changsu City!

The mighty team, the incomparably majestic momentum, people who don't know, think that this is a team attacking Yecheng.

But....

As the team in the distance continued to approach, Li Dajun and Li Haiying could clearly see it.

This team is so embarrassed, the native soldiers of the Tang Army have lost their armor, their mouths are dry, their steps are staggering, and ordinary civilians are dragging their families with their mouths, their faces are tired, and they are malnourished.

Often a large crowd is crammed into one carriage, and many more are crammed on the roof.

Faintly, with the extraordinary ear power of the two of them, they could even hear the constant and clear crying in the distance, and the thick sadness filled the air.

Li Dajun and Li Haiying's faces became ugly in an instant.

"Changsu City, a week ago, was swept by a locust plague, and for three days, both the stored grain and the grain that was still being planted were all eaten up."

"This locust plague has just passed, the Turks invaded, they were defeated and fled, on the way to Yecheng, more than 20,000 people died, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed, even... Even Li Zizai, the general who guarded the town of Changsucheng, also left command because he wanted to block the Turks, too...."

"Killed in battle...."

Li Haiying's voice became heavier and hoarse.

I couldn't help but read it in my heart, and the content of the letter was with a hint of suppressed solemnity.

Hearing this,

Suddenly, Li Dajun's heart was blocked, and the bloody numbers, tens of thousands of people, said that they would die.

"These hateful Turkic dogs! Open the gates of Qingzhou Pass and Changsu City, hateful traitor! ”

Li Dajun gritted his teeth with hatred, and his eyes were almost about to erupt into flames.

Also between Li Dajun and Li Haiying talking, in the distance, in front of the team, a figure on horseback suddenly accelerated, and instantly broke away from the team.

In their direction, the speed was extremely fast, and in just a few dozen breaths, it spanned a distance of several hundred meters and appeared in front of Li Dajun and Li Haiying.

The person who came was dressed in black armor, which was made of special materials, but at the moment it was in tatters.

There is still some burnt yellow on his face, which is obviously sunburned, and his lips are also chapped, and the overall appearance is very embarrassing.

There was a hint of tiredness in his eyes.

Seeing the two of them, the other party's voice was so excited that it was difficult to control himself: "Li.... General Li, Deputy Li Haiying, I.... I'm here, we're finally seeing you!! ”

After speaking, a dignified general actually cried out in front of the two of them, his voice sad and painful, full of endless pain and despair.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes.

You must know that now it is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, and every general is not supported by the results of the imperial examination, but all of them come out of the battlefield of killing, and they are all people who have experienced a hundred battles.

On the way to Yecheng, what happened to them that could make a general who was accustomed to seeing life and death desperate to such an extent?!

Men don't flick when they have tears, let alone the general who is the backbone of the Tang Dynasty, the decision-maker who suppresses one side and calms down all turmoil.

In an instant, the two of them felt a terrifying and creepy feeling.

"Don't get excited, what's going on, why haven't I and the general received the message until now?" Li Haiying's heart beat faster, and he hurriedly comforted the other party.

"The people are all dead, all dead!!"

When the other party said this, there was horror in his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "I am the Qingzhou customs guard, the Turks called in the early hours of yesterday morning, we didn't know, and someone gave them a switch card, they were caught off guard, they were killed in battle, they all died in battle." ”

"The next thing is the big rout, we rushed to Changsu City on the way, because many people were hungry before, and those who didn't eat at the end of the day yesterday were even hungrier, we ourselves are like locusts, trees, grass, and flowers on the road, everything that can be eaten, we have eaten."

"But there is no way, there are too many refugees, on the day I came to Yecheng, almost every hour, hundreds of people starved to death, and after sleeping, I woke up without knowing that the remnants of the soldiers I had just gathered had died a lot."

As he spoke, he wept again with sorrow.

"Those....those locusts are hateful! The Turks are even more hateful, and the Turks, who don't know why, suddenly went crazy and attacked us in a frenzied way, and also knew that the place where we hid the grain was destroyed as soon as it was opened. ”

"The Turkic cavalry was boundless, as if all the Turkic cavalry were in all directions, pouring out endlessly, and the ground was crushed by them."

The general's frightened pupils were shrinking, and his breathing trembled slightly, as if his body couldn't help but tremble when he saw the extremely terrifying picture at the beginning.

"There are too many, there are too many Turkic cavalry, obviously Qingzhou Pass is our most important checkpoint, which houses countless of our Tang Army, all kinds of elite weapons, war horses, all of which are the first to be supplied, and it is also the key checkpoint of our northern Xinjiang resources."

"However, in less than a day, the Turks crossed the border, the soldiers desperately resisted, and the arrows were all gone, and there was no way to stop them from continuing south."

"Too many people died along the way, many were killed by the Turks, and many more starved to death."

"This time, the Turks seized the opportunity of the locusts, they came for real, they....they are going to destroy my Tang Dynasty!"

"Damn! Damn Turkic !! ”

As he spoke, tears flowed from the corners of this person's eyes, his head was firmly gripped, and his eyes were full of turbulent hatred.

Witnessing the Turkic destruction of the city on which hundreds of thousands of people depended for their survival and wreak havoc on the attack was simply a massacre and a mass extermination of the Han people!

This is, the enmity of the heavens!

"General Li, I also gathered a group of soldiers who fled from the front line, and they said that they also saw on the road, a village that had been ravaged, and saw hundreds of corpses."

"They....they are all civilians, but they are all disemboweled, and all of them are brutally killed by the Turks!"

"Ahhh

He roared in pain: "General Li, Deputy General Li Haiying, do you know that after the Turks killed them, they actually stacked Arhats, one after another, piled up into a hill of more than ten meters, and they died with tears and unwillingness!" ”

"There........... there"

As he spoke, he suddenly choked up even more.

"There, but there are still children, they are not as tall as their knees, they are not as high as their knees!!"

"My future newborn in Datang was actually killed by a Turkic dog like this, full of despair!"

When his words fell, whether it was Li Dajun or Li Haiying, his eyes suddenly widened in shock, and an indescribable anger in his body was brewing in his heart and was about to explode.

The faces of the two of them instantly turned hideous, and the internal organs in their bodies turned over and over, and they frantically inhaled and exhaled.

Suddenly, Li Dajun roared angrily: "Turks, Jieli Khan, evil animals, a group of evil animals!" ”

Their voices were heard far away, and the soldiers at the city gate were shocked.

Listening to the general's heart-rending narration, some soldiers had their weapons cut off, and they didn't know it, so they stood in place in a daze.

Some of the soldiers, like Li Dajun and Li Haiying, were completely furious, their teeth creaking, and they were trembling, not fear, but anger, anger to the extreme!
