Chapter 161: War, Gather the Power of the Whole Army!
Monstrous hatred burst forth like flames, filling the air with their wrath.
"Turkic beasts!!"
"Turkic beasts!!"
The soldiers were angry, from the untidy at the beginning, gradually tidy, until Qi Ruo was alone, and let out a loud roar.
At this time, the general from Changsu City also choked up and continued: "When we regrouped and just joined Changsu City, the Turkic cavalry caught up and attacked the city. ”
"There are so many of them, our soldiers' arrows are dislocated, their short swords are wielded weakly, catapults are all scattered, and everything that can be used is completely used, but they still can't stop the Turkic attack and break the city gates."
"Under the leadership of General Li Zizai, we stood at the forefront and resisted desperately, but the number of Turkic soldiers this time, even if it was to swing until the sunset, no, we couldn't see the sunset at all that day."
"Because there were almost countless soldiers that day, there were too many of them, and they didn't give us the slightest way to live, so they wanted to kill all of us!"
"We watched the people around us be killed by the Turks little by little, and in the end, if General Li Zizai hadn't stayed behind, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to get to Yecheng."
"The people under our protection, even our Tang army, have died tens of thousands more."
After speaking, the man cried and said in a trembling voice: "Even so, Changsu City, with a population of more than 100,000, is almost extinct. ”
"Only more than 80,000 people escaped, all the way to Hope Yecheng, but on the way, people continued to starve to death, and now only more than 60,000 people are alive, and our soldiers have completely reached the limit."
"If it weren't for the order, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to use weapons to maintain order, and I'm afraid it would be even more chaotic!"
"And on the way, General Li Zizai also died on the road because he took the lead."
After he finished speaking, both Li Dajun and Li Haiying were completely silent.
Their eyes were red, their fists were clenched, they kept inhaling and exhaling deeply, and they were on the verge of exploding, extremely irritable.
People, what are the people of the Tang Dynasty?!
We are brothers, we are born under the same void, we breathe the same air, we have the same face, we flow the same blood of the children of the Tang Dynasty!!
So many people died under the iron hooves of the Turks, brutally killed, and even made them desperate, and used suicide to create a huge mountain of bloody corpses.
Intolerable, only anger, endless rage!
"You've worked hard, you've all worked hard." Li Dajun's voice was also a little choked, and he came to the other party's side and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
The other party's body was trembling and bowing deeply, and he saluted the two of them with a choked voice: "General Li, General Qin, the people of Changsu City, we all rely on you, and I am here to thank you sincerely on behalf of the surviving people." ”
The voice fell.
Whether it was Li Dajun or Li Haiying, they all hurriedly avoided his salute and hurriedly held him up.
Then, his voice was extremely firm: "You and I, both are the people of the Tang Dynasty, we have the same blood in our bodies, there is no care, you have suffered and been bullied, how can we not take care of you?" ”
"This is our responsibility, Your Majesty's responsibility, and it is also the responsibility of our millions of people in Chang'an City, all of us."
After speaking, Li Dajun turned around, looked behind him, and said in a majestic voice: "Vice General Lin!" ’
"General, my subordinates are here."
Behind him, a white-robed young general immediately walked out, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Li Dajun slightly.
This person is Li Jing's adjutant general, who is only a few points behind Li Haiying's status, and he is also Li Dajun's most trusted subordinate.
Li Dajun's face was solemn, his voice was extremely majestic, and he said in a mighty manner: "This matter, the matter is too serious, you immediately give an order, open the north gate of Ye City, and welcome the people of our north." ”
"And, quickly order the people to return to the city, and order the people near the north gate to prepare hot water and various meals immediately."
"It is inevitable that the fleeing people in northern Xinjiang can quickly eat a warm meal, gather all the doctors in the city, bring all kinds of herbs, and prepare to treat the injured compatriots."
"In addition, there is one more important thing, after you give these orders, immediately hurry to Chang'an City, inform Your Majesty of the news, and ask Your Majesty to make the next judgment."
"The last general commands!!" Vice Admiral Lin gladly accepted the order.
After everything was explained, in less than a while, the huge city of Yecheng, the heavy city gate, in a huge sound, connected Yecheng and the bridge outside, slowly falling down.
"Boom"!
The moment it fell, the strong wind flow almost made the soldiers standing guard at the door to maintain stability unable to stabilize, and their bodies were blown back again and again.
High in the sky above the city wall, the general who fled calmed down his mind and thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "General Li, thank you very much, we will not cause trouble to you and Your Majesty." ”
"All our generals have already agreed, as long as these people are handed over to you, so that their hearts that have been afraid for days can be calmed, we will leave with the soldiers and return to the battlefield at once."
Speaking of this, his eyes were full of endless hatred, his eyes were red again, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We won't give our homeland to those Turkic dog thieves like this!" ”
"The Turks have caused our wives to be separated and displaced, and to the peace of Qingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, even if they are killed in battle, they will definitely bite a piece of meat from them, so that they cannot threaten other cities!!"
At this moment, look at the hatred in the eyes of this general.
Li Dajun, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, has a little palpitations, a creepy heart, and solemn emotions rise in his heart.
Looking at the other party's eyes, the endless hatred of the alien race, I felt my heart tremble.
Datang, why is it still standing in the world in the face of various wars, just because there is such a group of people who are not afraid of death!
In order for the people of Datang to have a stable future, they will use their own flesh and blood to build an absolutely safe moat and defend the territory of Datang, which is sacred and inviolable.
The dynasties before the Tang Dynasty, and every inch of territory now, are heroes of all dynasties and generations, throwing blood and using human lives, little by little from the hands of foreign races.
Among them, how many people died, and in the end, how many epic stories were written!
At this time, in Yecheng, there were constantly carriages protected by guards, heading to the north gate of Yecheng.
kept rushing towards Li Dajun's side.
This is the official inside the ye.
They also received the news, and after arriving at the city gate, they were also shocked, looking at the embarrassed fleeing general in front of them, their hearts sank, and their faces became solemn.
Li Dajun couldn't help but sigh and persuaded: "The matter of revenge, put it on hold for the time being, and now the situation in the Turks is becoming more and more confusing, and it is beyond the power of you and others to solve it." ”
"You are all the elite of my Datang, and you are hungry and running over to confront the Turks, not only will you not make any achievements and change the status quo, but you will lose it, and it will consume our Datang military strength in vain."
"It's better to....you and the people of Changsu City and Qingzhou Pass will stay in our Yecheng first, and the Turks will attack at that time, and you can also increase our Yecheng defense force."
"After His Majesty tells me to wait for the next step and how to deal with this war, it is not too late to act together."
"That's right." Li Haiying nodded, took a step forward, looked at the fleeing general, and said peacefully: "What the general said is very reasonable, please stay and wait with me to consolidate the Yecheng defense line." ”
"Some time ago, there were 20,000 soldiers in Yecheng, and they were warned to the border of Youzhou, in order to resist Dayan and the Turks, but I didn't expect the Turks to come in from Qingzhou, and now Yecheng has no air defense, so I will inform Your Majesty about this matter, as well as Chai Shao, the governor of Youzhou, and Li Cunxiao, the king of Hejian, and others will know, and it is not too late to determine the next move, and it is not too late to make plans."
"Yes, General Li and Vice General Li are both right, why don't you both stay?"
"That's right, that's right."
“…….”
The other officials were also panicked and spoke out.
The appearance of refugees will surely be like a spark that ignites the prairie and will make the local people of Yecheng fall into panic, afraid of the threat from the Turkic iron cavalry.
At this juncture, every time there is an additional soldier stationed in Yecheng, not only the people of the city are at ease, but they are also at ease, and the pressure on their shoulders is less.
In fact, even if he didn't say anything to keep him, Li Dajun, as one of the most important generals around Li Shimin, was so keen, as long as he gave an order to garrison Yecheng, these fleeing soldiers and generals would have to obey.
But....
No way!
They are heroes, heroes who escorted the people of the north all the way to Chang'an!
How can you use coercive orders to treat heroes?
Unless it is absolutely necessary, no coercive orders will be used to keep these heroes.
"What!"
However, hearing everyone's words, the fleeing general's eyes suddenly widened in horror, as if he had heard some terrible news, and his eyes involuntarily widened.
He exclaimed: "Vice General Li, you....you just said that there are 20,000 troops in Yecheng and have left Yecheng?" ”
At this, he trembled in horror.
Everyone was slightly stunned, not knowing why the other party was so frightened.
Li Haiying also felt a sigh in his heart, feeling that something was wrong.
But he still nodded and said: "That's right, they are taking a secret road, after reconnaissance, it is not a place where locusts are infested, you can rest assured, you don't have to worry that locusts will threaten the grain and grass carried by that army, they can reach the border of Youzhou safely." ”
Speaking of which, Li Haiying is still a little worried.
Yecheng has also been ravaged by locusts, and there is not much food and grass.
The 20,000-strong army took a lot more.
Now that there are suddenly hundreds of thousands of refugees, there is definitely not enough food, and how to get food together is still the biggest problem.
However, at this moment, the man didn't care about this at all.
He ignored Li Haiying's explanation and shouted in horror: "Vice General Li, General Li, it's bad, it's bad!" ”
Then, he said sadly: "It was I who harmed the Yecheng generals, the people, and Chang'an City!" ”
The voice fell.
All the officials, even the soldiers stationed next to them, felt a chill in their hearts, a bad premonition, like a black cloud pressing down on the city, instantly enveloping their hearts, and everyone's faces froze.
Among them, Li Dajun seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed wildly.
The fleeing general said sadly: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, I really don't know, I don't know that there are so many fewer soldiers in the Yecheng garrison, we...."
"We're sorry for you! When we came here, the Turkic iron cavalry behind us didn't know why, and they couldn't get rid of it. ”
"Now, we have taken the people of Changsu City to Yecheng, those Turkic iron cavalry follow us very closely, it won't take long to arrive, the fastest one day, the slowest is two days will ravage Yecheng!"
As his words fell, everyone gasped, you look at me, I look at you, and their eyes widened in horror.
The Turkic iron cavalry that broke through Qingzhou Pass and Changsu City in one day is coming?
Afraid!
Terrifying!
Everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Under this kind of national war, they now have less 20,000 of the most elite soldiers in Yecheng, and there is really no way to stop it.
As soon as they thought of this, all the officials, including Li Dajun and Li Haiying, had a chilly and cold feeling!
The fear of the food being ravaged in an instant hit everyone's body seemed to freeze their souls and shatter their bodies.
Panic, in an instant, permeated all of them, and could not be dispersed for a long time.
What to do?
What to do?
Everyone was asking this question, and they were all panicking.
"The fastest day, that is, we only have one more day left to prepare." Li Dajun, who was not shocked by honor and disgrace, was also frightened at this time, and his eyelids were trembling.
But he can't panic, once he panics, the morale of the soldiers under his hands, the blow will be incomparable.
Not to mention dealing with the Turkic Iron Cavalry.
Now.
As the nominally highest-ranking general in Yecheng, he has become the backbone of everyone.
Everyone's eyes were on him at this moment.
"Inform Your Majesty of this matter immediately!"
"Also, prepare for war! Immediately turn on the sound of thirteen horns, let all the people, enter the secret passages in various parts of Yecheng to avoid the disaster, and urgently recruit all soldiers, as well as civil volunteers, to raise troops and get ready. ”
Li Dajun took a deep breath, his breath became hot, and his blood was surging, since it was extremely avoidable, then a big battle to repel the Turks!
With the blood of Turkic dogs, thousands of ancestors were sacrificed, and they died in Qingzhou Pass and Changsu City, as well as the people who starved to death in Yecheng!!
Li Haiying also roared beside him, although he was afraid, but when he thought of the corpses of the Tang people who were killed by the Turks and piled up dozens of meters high, the fear in his heart instantly turned into anger.
Boundless rage!
"Prepare for war!"
"Prepare for war!"
"Prepare for war!"
The long-term comfort has sinked their blood, making them a little deceitful and intrigued.
But at this moment, the blood is ignited, in the face of the country's righteousness, as far as the eye can see, they are all their own people, brothers, and blood is thicker than water!
