In the northwest of the Great Tang, Jingzhou, Lianyun Castle.
The west wind whistled, sending waves of shocked and angry shouts…
"Run! The Turkic army outside the city was about to attack!”
"The Heavenly Festival Army has already retreated! Escape to Jingzhou City to live!"
"Why did the Prince of Yan, Luo Yi, who controls an army of 100,000, avoid the battle? You're a Tang general in vain!"
……
It was the eighth month of the ninth year of Wude.
Two months ago, the Xuanwu Sect incident shocked the entire Chang 'an.
In order to ascend to the throne, the King of Qin, Li Shimin, killed his brother and imprisoned his father, finally obtaining the throne.
Two months later, before Li Shimin could even sit on the throne, the Eastern Turkic Khagans, Jie Li and Tuli, felt that they had an opportunity to take advantage of and decisively led two hundred thousand troops to invade the Tang Empire.
The Prince of Yan, Luo Yi, was an old subordinate of Li Jiancheng and was dissatisfied with Li Shimin's usurpation of the throne. He had a hundred thousand soldiers, but he deliberately avoided the battle and allowed the Turkic army to enter.
In a single night, the Turks had traveled three hundred miles south, heading straight for Chang 'an!
In the northern region of the Great Tang, the flames of war raged and the people were plunged into misery!
Lianyun Castle, a small town on the border of Jingzhou, had also been targeted by the Turkic army.
In Lianyun Castle, it was chaotic. Everyone's face was filled with despair.
The 3,000 Heavenly Festival Army guarding Lianyun Castle had already withdrawn in advance, leaving only 300 border troops and 6,000 civilians in the city.
The nearly ten thousand Turkic soldiers were lined up outside the city, busily making siege weapons, ready to attack at any moment.
On the walls of Lianyun Castle, the three hundred Tang border guards held their weapons and stared at the ant-like Turkic soldiers below, their faces ashen.
No one knew who would die and who would see the sun the next day…
……
"Dong! Thump! Thump! Dong!"
The drums of the Turkic army rumbled like thunder!
That was the signal to attack the city!
In the next moment, the sound of air being torn apart could be heard!
Countless black dots attacked from the sky like locusts. They were flying arrows!
"Raise your shields! Defend!"
On the city wall of Lianyun Castle, the seasoned soldier let out a shrill cry and took the lead to raise his shield to protect his head.
As soon as the shield formation was erected, endless arrows rained down from all directions, filling the hundreds of wooden shields in an instant…
Many arrows with tricky angles drilled into the shield formation through the gaps and nailed the soldiers to the city wall.
"Ah…"
"It hurts…"
The soldiers who had been shot by the arrows let out intermittent cries of pain. The more unfortunate ones had already died on the spot and would not cry out in pain…
On the battlefield, there was no time to indulge in pain. The second round of arrows had already landed.
More than ten holes were torn in the shield formation, causing more casualties!
After three rounds of arrows, the city wall of Lianyun Castle was already covered in the thick smell of blood, and dozens of young men's corpses had appeared.
A few breaths ago, they were still living soldiers of the Great Tang!
"Draw your saber and prepare to kill the enemy!"
The veteran suppressed his grief and roared,"
"The border army of the Great Tang will not retreat!"
……
Lianyun Castle, border camp, outside the grain warehouse.
"Qin Huaifeng! Why haven't you executed my orders and burned all the rations?”
A fully armored middle-aged officer was angrily questioning a dignified youth." Do you know that after the city falls, these provisions will become the rations of the Turkic army?”
The youth named Qin Huaifeng looked at the grain piled up like a mountain in the warehouse and shook his head." Commandant Liu, the grain cannot be burned. If the rations were burned, the people in the city would have no way to survive!”
"Who cares about the lives of the people now?”
Commandant Liu was furious. He drew his saber and pointed it at the youth." The 3,000 Heavenly Army soldiers have already fled without fighting. If our border troops can burn our grain reserves and not leave them for the Turkic dogs, we can be considered loyal to the court! Qin Huaifeng, let me ask you again, are you going to burn it or not?!”
"No! If Commandant Liu wants to burn the rations, you might as well kill me first!”Qin Huaifeng looked straight at Liu Xiaowei, brazenly fearless.
" You…" Commandant Liu's expression changed drastically, but he didn't stab down with the saber in his hand." Qin Huaifeng, I know you're the eldest son of the Wing Duke, but don't be foolish! If he burned the provisions and rode a fast horse to escape Lianyun Castle, he would still have a chance of survival! Otherwise, you'll just be buried with him!”
"I can leave on horseback? Could the people in the city do it? Besides, would he be able to survive if he escaped from Lianyun Castle?”Qin Huaifeng asked.
Commandant Liu shook his head." I don't know if you can survive. I only know that we can't leave the rations behind!”
"Maybe there's still a chance."
" You mean, there are reinforcements?!" Liu Xiaowei's eyes flashed with hope.
"Maybe." Qin Huaifeng grinned and didn't give an accurate answer.
Commandant Liu glanced at Qin Huaifeng, then at the warehouse that was piled up like a mountain. In the end, he gritted his teeth, sheathed his saber, and turned to leave.
"Qin Huaifeng! I'm going to defend the city! If this batch of rations ends up in the hands of the Turkic scoundrels, I, Liu Kuida, will not let you off even as a ghost!”
Qin Huaifeng watched Liu Kuida leave, a bitter smile on his face.
Perhaps Liu Kuida's military order was correct, but he could not carry it out.
Burning the rations would allow the Turkic army to gain nothing.
However, this way, the six thousand people of Lianyun Castle would no longer have any chance of survival.
"This is really the beginning of Hell Mode. Why am I facing such a situation as soon as I transmigrated?”
Qin Huaifeng sighed inwardly.
Before transmigrating, Qin Huaifeng was just an ordinary high school student in the future.
At that time, he was an orphan. His greatest wish was to be born into a prominent family and become a powerful official.
Now, his wish was fulfilled. As the eldest son of Yi Country Duke Qin Qiong, he was also one of the few yamen in Chang 'an.
Not to mention in this small border town?
The problem was…
Why would he, as the eldest son of the Duke of Wing Country, hide his identity and become a grain officer in the border army?
Why did he encounter the Turks invading the Tang Empire the moment he transmigrated?
There were many things that Qin Huaifeng couldn't figure out, but what he wanted to do the most right now was to defend Lianyun Castle!
This was extremely difficult, but Qin Huaifeng wasn't whimsical. He had his own trump card.
"System! I want to receive the activation reward now!"
The God of War Acting System was Qin Huaifeng's trump card.
Qin Huaifeng, who had the system, could draw any wargod character card to act as.
The known War Gods included the Champion Marquis Huo Qubing, Scholar Musou Han Xin, White Horse Chen Qingzhi, West Chu Overlord Xiang Yu, etc...
In the process of acting, one had to understand the character's heart. The more one acted like it, the stronger one's combat strength would be!
After the game ended, the system would reward him with abilities and unlock a new Character Summon Card based on his performance!
