November, the first year of Zhenguan.
The Great Tang was plagued by internal and external troubles, its foundations in turmoil.
Governor Wang Junkuo, who was guarding Youzhou, had also died mysteriously recently.
Taking advantage of the unstable foundations of the Great Tang and the recent death of Youzhou Governor Wang Junkuo…
The Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan had suddenly led two hundred thousand cavalry into Youzhou City.
Youzhou was the gateway to the Great Tang's northern borders, the only gateway to the Great Tang!
If the Turks conquered Youzhou, they could march straight into Chang 'an, the capital of the Great Tang!
The cold wind was biting cold, and the sound of killing resounded throughout the world.
Blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the gray city walls and the murky moat red!
"Dong! Thump! Dong…"
War drums thundered outside Youzhou as countless Turkic soldiers flooded toward the walls.
Countless boulders were thrown into the air by the catapults.
"Rumble, rumble…"
When it hit the ancient city wall, stone chips and broken bricks flew everywhere.
Shouts, screams, weapons colliding, and boulders smashing against each other all mixed together…
Tear limbs, red blood, and broken armor covered in blood piled up like a mountain under the city wall.
The battle was especially intense!
However, neither side had any intention of stopping the battle.
Corpses that had just died were casually thrown by the wall under the ladder, piled up into a mountain.
A bloody mist filled the entire northern city of Youzhou.
"Defend, we must defend…"
The soldiers on the city wall resisted with all their might and roared angrily.
In this battle, they could have escaped and saved their lives!
However, they did not retreat.
This was because they were backed by the territory and people of the Great Tang.
There were also many Youzhou citizens who had not had the time to retreat.
Once Youzhou was lost, not only these people, but everyone else in the Great Tang would be slaughtered.
This war had come too suddenly!
A few days ago, he had received news that the Turks were besieging Tanzhou, but today they had reached Youzhou.
Youzhou's defenders were no match for the two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers.
It was only a matter of time before the city fell.
At this moment, the city was also in a state of panic. Countless people did not have time to pack up their money and fled in panic!
The Northern Borderline was about to become a living hell.
If he wanted to live, he could only flee south.
In a dilapidated small courtyard in Youzhou City.
A young man was lying on a wooden rocking chair. Although there was a brazier beside him, his face was very pale, as if he was seriously ill and his face had lost all color.
The young man looked at the jade pendant with the word 'Li' on his waist and chuckled softly.
He didn't understand the meaning of this jade pendant.
However, this jade pendant was worth a lot of money. For it to appear in his hands, it must have an extraordinary meaning.
Before long, the exhausted youth could only slowly close his eyes and wait for the sun to set.
However, at this moment, the quiet outside was once again filled with noise.
"The Turks are attacking, run!”
"Ah! Run, old woman, take your granddaughter and run…"
"Old man, don't go, you can't beat him…"
" Don't worry about me. Run quickly. I'll stop them for you…"
"Brother Lin, count me in. We're old, but we can still wield knives!!”
……
At this moment, a trace of confusion flashed through the eyes of the youth in the courtyard.
He really wanted to go out and help, but he was like a clay Buddha crossing the river. He could not even protect himself. Moreover, his body was not enough to support him to pick up a weapon.
How could he help others like this?
It seemed that I was destined to be an ordinary person, living a miserable life like an ant.
This young man was called Li Ce. He wasn't from this era. He was a transmigrator from the 21st century.
As a 21st-century novel addict, she had long known about transmigration.
For Li Ce, he yearned to transmigrate and fantasized about transmigrating because he had long thought of the way to become a god in any environment.
But when Li Ce transmigrated, he was stunned.
This was because the person he had transmigrated to did not have any impressive identity, extraordinary aptitude, or a solid family background.
The most disgusting thing was that this body was so weak.
To describe him as weak? Wasn't this overestimating him?
His bony body stopped to rest after a few steps. He did not have the physique that a normal person should have.
If there was a martial strength value, an ordinary person would be 15, but he would only be around 5 at most.
He was a transmigrator!
If he had known that it was such a useless body, he would have chosen not to wear it!
If he could do it all over again, Li Ce would choose Li Bai!
Originally, when Li Ce was four years old, he met a traveling merchant named " Zhangsun " by chance.
Ever since the merchant Zhangsun accidentally saw Li Ce's jade pendant, he began to give Li Ce money.
Now, it had been almost eight years!
It was said that Zhangsun was a wealthy businessman in Chang 'an. As for other information, Zhangsun was unwilling to say more.
Every time Li Ce asked him, he would only show a guilty expression and flee in panic.
So mysterious.
It was as if he was the father of this body.
Of course, this was impossible.
Zhangsun would give Li Ce some silver every month. Although it wasn't much, it was enough for someone like Li Ce who didn't step out of his house.
Everything that Zhangsun had done made Li Ce think that he had met a big boss who gave out bursaries!
However, what help would helping a cripple like him bring him?
Of course, if it weren't for the help of his neighbors, no matter how rich he was, he wouldn't have been able to live until now.
Because Li Ce had such a body, the villagers took care of him as if he was their own child.
The meticulous care and concern had left a deep mark in Li Ce's heart!
Just like that, Li Ce was still alive.
However, everything was about to end!
Li Ce lay peacefully on the rocking chair, listening to the shouts outside the courtyard. He slowly closed his eyes.
He didn't want to escape, nor did he want to live!
He just wanted to enjoy the short and long peace before death!
"Ding! System activation complete!"
