On the second day. Early morning.
Dong-dong-dong
-drum beats sounded outside Yanmen Pass.
It was dull, vast, and resounding in the world.
With the beating of the bull drum, the terrifying Turks began to attack the city.
Countless arrows were shot from the grassland, covering the entire Yanmen Pass.
"Attack! Those who retreat, behead!"
One thousand slave soldiers carried siege weapons and charged towards Yanmen Pass.
"Release!"
The border troops began to counterattack, and arrows rained down.
Countless rolling logs rolled down the walls, crushing one Turkic slave soldier after another.
Screams and wails echoed throughout the land.
One by one, the living creatures were quickly walking towards death.
"Huyan Tribe, it's your turn!”
"Yes, sir!"
The captain pulled out his machete and pointed it at Yanmen Pass.
Another thousand Turkic slave soldiers charged forward.
"Block it!"
"Block them!"
"Where's the kerosene? Why isn't the kerosene here yet?"
The generals roared loudly.
Amidst the angry roars, new rolling wood and kerosene were quickly sent over.
The new border troops entered the battle.
The war was extremely tragic.
When the sun set, the Turks finally rang the bell and withdrew their troops.
The city walls were littered with the corpses of Tang soldiers.
Below the walls, the corpses of the Turkic slave soldiers piled up like mountains.
What a terrifying ancient war!
Everyone who was still alive felt a lingering fear in their hearts.
Inside the pass. General Manor.
The army registrar had already calculated the results of the battle.
"General, the Turkic slave soldiers have suffered five thousand casualties today, while our army has suffered eight hundred.”
"What is it? Five thousand? Had the Turks gone mad? On the first day of a probing attack, they left behind 5,000 corpses?”The general of Yanmen Pass exclaimed.
Such a fierce attack made the expressions of the generals and lieutenants turn ugly.
"General, I'm afraid the Turks are serious this time, and not just trying to force us to offer offerings.”
"General, there are only 10,000 soldiers stationed inside the pass. Even with the sturdy walls of Yanmen Pass, it will be difficult for us to hold on!”
"Yes, General. The fifty thousand men outside were merely the vanguard of the Turks. Behind them, there was probably another 250,000 soldiers.”
The
border officers expressed their opinions one after another, feeling worried.
Hearing these words, the guard general of Yanmen Pass's face turned gloomy.
The enemy claimed to have 300,000 cavalry heading south, and the vanguard that had arrived now had 50,000 men.
Even with a discount, the other party would probably have 150,000 to 200,000 yuan.
A total of 200,000 main forces!
With such a terrifying number, the Yanmen Pass was able to hold on.
Thinking of this, the general's scalp went numb.
"Have the various prefectures not sent a reply yet? When would their soldiers come to help?”The general asked loudly.
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads.
"We haven't received a reply yet. The prefectural soldiers are not as fast as our border troops. Moreover, they had to gather supplies and food. If they could arrive within seven days, it would already be considered pretty good.”
"Send another messenger to rush me. In addition, he sent beacon fires to Yunzhou, Summer Prefecture, Liangzhou, Shengzhou…as well as the two provincial governors of Hedong and Hexi, asking them to send troops to help. It's urgent!"
"Yes, General."
The messengers in the army immediately set off and headed to the various states and counties.
The tragic war continued.
The Turks 'attacks became fiercer and fiercer.
On the third day.
The elite Turkic soldiers had been mobilized, and this time, Yanmen Pass had paid the price of more than fifteen hundred lives in order to repel the enemy.
…The
Central Plains.
On the official road leading to Chang 'an, a messenger riding a red flag was running desperately.
He had been changing horses and horses for three days and three nights.
Finally.
A huge city appeared in front of them.
They had arrived in Chang 'an!
"The Turks invaded the border and attacked Yanmen Pass. Quickly open the city gates!”
The messenger roared as he rushed towards the city gate.
On the city wall.
Seeing the bright red beacon flag, the city gate soldiers were shocked.
"Open the city gates, quickly open the city gates!”
The city gate guard roared.
The city gate of Chang 'an opened quickly, and the messenger rode into the city.
Along the way.
The residents of Chang 'an looked askance at him.
Endless fear surged into everyone's hearts.
The beacon messenger had arrived!
Something happened, something must have happened at the border!
…The
palace. Dew Palace.
Today was the first day of the eleventh month of the third year of Zhenguan. It was the day of the monthly court meeting of the Tang Empire.
All the officials and the emperor gathered together to discuss state affairs.
In this incomparably spacious hall, a little fellow in a prime minister's uniform was sitting in the corner of the hall.
No one paid attention to him. All the civil and military officials in the court were too lazy to even look at him.
She was extremely pitiful and
lonely.
"Dear ministers, what do you have to report today?”Li Shi Min said sternly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji wanted to get up.
However, someone was faster than him.
At this moment.
Chen An stood up abruptly and came to the center of the hall.
The emperor was surprised.
All the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.
What was this detestable little fellow trying to do?
"Chen An, I have something to report.”
Chen An bowed to everyone in the hall.
Facing
Li Shiming's silence, Chen An didn't care at all. He said directly,""Your Majesty, please quickly issue an imperial edict to gather the soldiers of the northern provinces to prepare for battle. The Turkic army is about to invade the border!"
What was that?
The Turkic army had invaded the Central Plains? What kind of joke was this?
It was already winter, and the Prairies people were resisting the wind and snow in preparation for winter.
Even if they wanted to invade the border, it should be during the autumn harvest!
"Nonsense! In the solemn court meeting, no nonsense was allowed.”"Chen An!" Li Shiming shouted,"Chen An, back off!"”
"Your Majesty, if you don't believe me
…"
Li Shi Min was furious and shouted.
Chen An did not speak. He only smiled slightly and prepared to return to his seat to continue daydreaming.
However…
at this moment.
A shrill cry came from outside the hall,
"Report: The Turks have invaded Yanmen Pass!" Yanmen Pass Guard General sent a beacon fire message!”
[What?]
Li Shi Min was shocked and stood up abruptly.
All the civil and military officials stood up in unison, their faces filled with panic.
Heavens!
Why did the Turks suddenly invade the Central Plains?
At this moment.
All the officials looked at Chen An and the young figure.
Their gazes contained endless shock.
A child in Chang 'an actually knew thousands of miles away.
Heavens!
Was he still human?
"Quickly announce it! Quickly announce it!" Li Shi Min shouted urgently.
"Announce: Beacon Messenger invasion!”
Accompanied by the eunuch's sharp roar, an extremely exhausted border messenger entered the hall with the help of the Golden Guards.
"Messenger of Yanmen Pass, greetings to Your Majesty
..."”
"Yes, sir!"
The messenger reached out his right hand and took out a letter from his chest with trembling hands.
"Your…Your Majesty, this is the report our general wrote to Your Majesty. Please send troops to reinforce…reinforce Yanmen…Pass!”
As the last word fell, the messenger's hand instantly lost strength, and his body fell with a bang.
He was dead.
In order to send the news to Chang 'an as soon as possible, he had been running for three days and three nights.
He had used his own life to complete the last transmission mission.
"What a strong man!"
The ministers lamented for him.
"Send my decree: Bury this person and compensate his family.”
"Yes!"
Li
Shiming took the military report from the eunuch and quickly opened it…
At this moment, no one knew what would happen next.
It was a peerless supreme divine youth who was about to reveal his extraordinary talent to the world.
