Chang 'an, Great Tang.
In the royal study.
It was already late at night, but Li Shiming was still awake.
His eyes were red and he was anxious.
Not for anything else.
It was because the Southern Turks had learned that Li Er had initiated the Xuanwu Gate Incident and proclaimed himself emperor, and they had claimed that they wanted to bring back the Retired Emperor…
He headed straight south!
They had massacred the border, captured eight cities, and killed countless citizens of the Great Tang!
And the most terrifying thing was…
Even now, the Great Tang had not completely stopped the Turkic army!
How could this not be terrifying?
Although Li Shi Min had ascended the throne, how could he sleep peacefully when he encountered such a disaster?!
Li Er's heart was filled with anxiety.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Right Prime Minister Fang Xuanling ran over with a terrified expression.
Seeing his expression, Li Er's heart skipped a beat.
And then,
"Your Majesty, Gan Province…Gan Province has fallen…" Fang Xuanling gritted his teeth and cried bitterly.
Boom!
In an instant, Li Er felt as if he had been struck by lightning and retreated dozens of steps.
The Turks had broken through eight cities!
Now that Gan Province had fallen, there were nine cities in total!
Li Er instantly aged a lot.
Suddenly.
Li Er's eyes widened. He suddenly shouted," No, Youzhou. Youzhou is in front of Gan Province. If Youzhou has not fallen, how can Gan Province fall?"!”
"This…"
Fang Xuanling looked sorrowful." Your Majesty, intelligence on Youzhou was cut off when Gan Province fell. No one knows what's happening to Youzhou now. Perhaps, the city has already been massacred. Your Majesty, we're in grave danger!"!”
Youzhou had become a lonely city.
After the fall of Gan Province, Youzhou had completely severed its connection with the Great Tang.
So now…
Nobody knew the current situation in Youzhou Province!
However, even Gan Province had fallen, and Youzhou was like a city that had charged into the base camp of the Turkic army. How could he have a good ending?!
"Bang!"
Li Er clenched his fists and smashed the table and chairs.
Then,
A bitter tear rolled down Li Er's face. He couldn't help but say sorrowfully," Youzhou Province, Youzhou Province, I…I'm sorry to the people of Youzhou Province. Ahhhh…"
"Tu Jue, zhen and you are irreconcilable!!”
……
In a remote village outside Gan Province.
Yang Gaolou, the Vice Commandant of Youzhou, was looking at the city in front of him with hopeful eyes.
That was Gan Province.
It was the only link between Youzhou and Chang 'an.
As for Yang Gaolou…
He was the Deputy Commandant of Youzhou. Under Han Yi's orders, he led three hundred soldiers of the Great Tang to protect the survivors of Youzhou and head to Gan Province!
After passing through Gan Province, they would be able to head to Chang 'an!
He did not know that Gan Province had fallen.
Therefore, his eyes were still filled with hope as he looked at Gan Province.
"Sir, you can go over now."
Beside him, a soldier reminded Yang Gaolou in a low voice.
Yang Gaolou looked at the direction of Youzhou Province behind him and murmured," Let's wait. Commandant Han said that he would stop them for a while and catch up with us. Commandant Han sacrificed his life to save us. We have to wait for him…"
As soon as he said this.
Everyone present could not help but grieve. Many women and children even cried on the spot.
"Milord," one of the soldiers couldn't help but say,"Commandant Han doesn't want to live. He only has two hundred men. How can he stop the Turkic bastards 'cavalry?!"”
"You're f * cking spouting nonsense!"
Yang Gaolou's eyes were red. He gritted his teeth and scolded angrily," How could the commandant lie to us? Why should he die?" I, the vice-commandant, am not dead yet, so why should he get the chance?”
"And Old Man Han, even a 100-year-old man dares to defend Youzhou Province to the death. Why should I leave with my subordinates?”
Yang Gaolou became excited.
Although he was cursing, his eyes were already red and tears were streaming down his face.
How could he not know that Han Yi and Han Song would not be able to survive?
However, he just didn't want to believe it!
He was waiting, hoping to see Han Yi and Old Master Han catch up.
However, he was disappointed…
He waited for a long time, but no one caught up to him. The Youzhou region was terrifyingly quiet, like a dead city!
Silence!
Yang Gaolou was speechless for a long time. He directly knelt in the direction of Youzhou and kowtowed heavily.
Then, he stood up.
Yang Gaolou wiped the tears from his eyes and gritted his teeth." Let's go. We'll enter Gan Province and head to Chang 'an!"”
"Da da…"
However, at this moment, the sound of a cavalryman could be heard from afar.
Accompanied by countless torches!
"Milord, we've found it! We've found a two-legged sheep of the Great Tang! Hahaha! Kill!" a Turkic cavalryman excitedly shouted.!”
Rumble!
Countless Turkic cavalry charged forward as if they had smelled blood.
Yang Gaolou was shocked. How could there be Turkic cavalry in Gan Province?!
But at this moment.
He could not care less. He directly stepped forward and protected the women and children. He shouted," Soldiers of the Tang Empire, listen up! Break out of the encirclement with me! Charge out!"!”
Hualala!
But soon, countless torches began to spread like a volcano.
Yang Gaolou's eyes gradually became filled with despair.
So many Turkic cavalry?
There were at least 3,000 of them. Why were they here?!
Could it be…
Gan Province had already fallen?
