The wind swept up the dust and sand, and the rain turned into clouds and fell to the ground.
The five thousand Dragon Cavalry swept across the desert, fighting for three hundred li, slaughtering ten Turkic tribes and taking seventy thousand heads!
On this day, the nomads in the southern desert felt the might of the Han and Tang dynasties!
It was late at night, the stars were shining, and the moon was hanging high in the sky.
Beside a water source, the eyes of the Dragon Riders were sunken. They were all tired, but their eyes were bright and bright, revealing a fierce light that could devour people.
After a short rest, everyone hung their heads on their waists and set off on their journey back in the darkness.
……
At daybreak, the garrison troops of Youzhou City faintly saw the sandstorm in front of them under the dim starlight. Closely after that, they heard the galloping of tens of thousands of horses.
The Heavenly Festival Troop was shocked. They quickly sounded the alarm and shouted,
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
In an instant, the soldiers on night duty woke up and held their weapons in their hands.
A thousand meters was just a blink of an eye for the Dragon Riders.
The five thousand charging cavalrymen suddenly hovered in the air, moving in unison as they stopped at the city wall.
Their faces were filled with killing intent, and their bodies were covered in blood.
The guards of the Tianjie Army were all trembling with fear, their hands holding onto their spears trembling slightly.
At this moment, a ferocious cavalryman rode out and shouted,""General Tian Ce led the Dragon Cavalry into the desert and slaughtered ten Turkic tribes in a single day, killing more than seventy thousand people. Defenders in the city, open the gates!"
Hearing this, the guards on the city wall carefully sized up the Dragon Cavalry Guards below the city gate.
He was shocked to discover that they all had Han faces!
At the very front, there was a valiant general with a dignified face. His white robe was stained with blood. It was none other than the Heavenly Strategy General, Li Changqing.
Today, it wasn't the Turkic elites attacking the city, but the triumphant return of the Dragon Cavalry!
In an instant, the Tianjie guards heaved a sigh of relief and cheered in unison.
On the east wall of Youzhou, two city gates opened.
The guards of the Tianjie Army greeted the Dragon Cavalry Guards with a military salute. Their expressions were solemn, and their faces were filled with shock and reverence.
Especially when he saw the heads wrapped around the Dragon Riders 'waists!
The heads were strung together by hair and wrapped around his waist. There were more than a dozen heads and less than six or seven.
The heads of these Turkic warriors were all savage and vicious.
These were the spoils of war of the Dragon Riders!
The Turkic warriors who had once rampaged around Youzhou and treated the border troops as nothing were now dead souls under the spears of the Dragon Cavalry!
All the soldiers of the Heavenly Festival Army who saw this scene felt an indescribable joy in their hearts!
As soldiers of the Great Tang's Xu Pass, how could they not hate those savage Turks who bullied the people of the border? It was just that because Luo Yi was selfish and weak, they could do nothing about it. They had been numb to it for a long time.
But now, they felt that the blood in their bodies that had been silent for a long time seemed to be boiling again! He wished he could stretch his neck and roar!
How could he laugh at the lack of men in the Great Tang? There was still General Li Changqing!
The general of the city guard came to Li Changqing's horse and knelt on one knee without hesitation. He saluted and said solemnly,"We! Welcome back, General!"
"Pa-"
Li Changqing threw a bloody head in front of the general and said in a deep voice,"This is the head of the leader of the Karaji tribe. Take it to the city and show it to the public. Tell all the people to come here.”
Looking at the huge head of the Karagi tribe leader and the forever frozen confused expression on his face, the general of the city guard felt shocked and subconsciously looked up at Li Changqing.
Li Changqing's white robe was soaked in blood, and he sat on the Wind Chasing Horse that was also soaked in blood. He was like a god of war that had descended to the mortal world. The 5,000 Dragon Knights behind him were silent, and even their mounts were silent. The killing intent was chilling.
Sending a message personally was a great humiliation to him, the general of the city, but now he did not have any thoughts of shame or anger. He only felt extremely excited!
" Respected General's order!!"
Clasping his fists, the general picked up the head of the Karagi tribe leader and left with his bodyguards.
Li Changqing then turned his horse around and looked at the five-thousand-strong Dragon Riders.
"Soldiers, listen up!"
"Yes!"
"Dismount, Zhujing Temple!"
Under the shocked gazes of countless soldiers of the Heavenly Festival Army guarding the city and the citizens who had heard the news, Li Changqing waved his sleeves and his gaze was like lightning.
……
"General has led his troops to conquer the Turkic tribes and returned triumphantly!”
This news spread across Youzhou City like the wind under the leadership of the general. After knowing this news, many Youzhou civilians were overjoyed as they ran towards the city gate to welcome the hero's triumphant return. As a result, all the streets were deserted. The city gate was crowded and boisterous.
"General! I didn't fail my mission!"
The general of the city guard came to the city wall and handed the head of the Karaji tribe leader to Li Changqing with both hands.
"Well done."
Li Changqing said lightly, then turned around and faced the tens of thousands of Youzhou people below the city wall.
"Yesterday, this general led five thousand Dragon Cavalry and attacked the Karaji tribe and the nine surrounding tribes at night. A total of seventy thousand people were massacred, leaving no one alive.”
When he said this number, everyone's eyes widened in shock. He had killed 70,000 people with 5,000! What an astonishing battle record!
Luo Cheng had led his troops at the border for many years, but the number of Turks he had killed was not as many as the number Li Changqing had killed last night!
"General is mighty! The Dragon Riders are mighty!"
"With the general here, why worry about the Turks?”
"General is really a god! Even ten thousand Luo Chengs wouldn't be comparable to a single general!”
"Bah! Who was Luo Cheng? How could he compare a general to that kind of scum?”
……
Many of the commoners were extremely excited and praised Li Changqing and the Dragon Riders. However, gradually, these voices became softer until they stopped. This was because they saw that there was not a trace of a smile on Li Changqing's face. In fact, he was expressionless.
"Do you think I'm showing off my achievements?”
Li Changqing said calmly.
The commoners looked at each other when they heard this. They did not know why Li Changqing would ask such a question. An old man stood up and said respectfully,"General, you've misunderstood. The commoners are only shocked by your martial arts, so they can't help but praise you from the bottom of their hearts.”
The others echoed.
Li Changqing didn't say much. He just closed his eyes and read,
"In the autumn of the third year of Daye, the Turks attacked the border of Youzhou and massacred a dozen villages and towns.”
"In the spring of the fourth year of Daye, the Turks committed another crime and massacred more than seven thousand two hundred of our people and soldiers.”
"In the autumn of the fifth year of Daye, the Turks came again and rampaged through our borders, killing and pillaging, resulting in over ten thousand casualties.”
……
Li Changqing's tone grew heavier with each recital of the crimes of the Turks. At this moment, the city was completely silent. The eyes of the soldiers of the Tianjie Army were red, and many commoners could not help but sob. The old men were even more tearful.
Although the past is over, how can we forget it?
When I suddenly look back, I can't help but cry.
(A few days ago, something big happened at home. I was busy and exhausted. I should have been writing properly after these two days, but I suddenly fell ill with a high fever and a splitting headache.)
I will not ask for forgiveness or anything. This is my fault. I'm really sorry for not being able to respond to everyone's expectations.
