- Early the next morning, Shen Cong carefully instructed the shadow guards in the mansion to protect Gu Jiuling, and then he took a step forward and took the golden halo to the southern border.
As for He Qi, he didn't take it with him, but left it in Chang'an to protect the Turkic princess Dugu Xiaoyu.
When Song Cheng found out that He Qi was still in Chang'an, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
This Shen Cong is so angry with him!
The seventh day of the last ten days of the twelfth lunar month coincides with the New Year's Eve.
After a heavy snowfall, the taste of the New Year becomes stronger.
? In Chang'an City, up to the imperial palace, down to the streets and alleys, blessings are pasted, Spring Festival couplets are written and lanterns are hung up, which looks like a lively New Year's Eve.
Recently, it seems that monsters also want to enjoy the joy of the New Year, and the surrounding area has become much quieter¡ªJin Yiwei rarely receives any troublesome monster cases.
Seeing this, Song Cheng simply waved his hand and granted a part of Jinyiwei's annual leave in advance.
Among them are Gu Jiuling and Qin Zheng.
Qin Zheng originally wanted to go up to Gu Jiuling to get close, and take a meal at the palace. But when he saw his cold face, he didn't look forward to making fun of himself.
As for Gu Jiuling, counting his annual leave, he brought two thousand-mile horses from the barracks, left Chang'an overnight, and rushed to southern Xinjiang.
He is going to visit those Gu family troops who came down from the battlefield.
At that time, it was already night in Jinling City.
The red lights hang high on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and the girls in the painting boat wear cotton flocks, hold pipas in their arms, and sit on the bow of the boat as if they are not afraid of the cold, singing a few melodious little songs.
Among them, the most sung is the Qinhuai scene that has been passed down for a long time.
In the city, the old and weak women gathered together with their families, and some daughters sat on the threshold holding jade rabbit lanterns, waiting for their fathers to return from the battlefield.
Further south, the Southern Xinjiang Great Wall garrison, wrapped in thick armor, looked farther south.
Behind them are the lights of thousands of families, enjoying themselves together.
How many years ago, they were also those country children who squatted by the stove with candied haws in their arms, watching the delicacies on the table with a sigh.
Now, they can only look into the distance with their eyes, standing on the Great Wall, standing tall.
That childhood playfulness will eventually be buried deep in my heart.
Under the observation deck, a group of uninvited guests in night clothes suddenly arrived.
One of them took out a bamboo tube from his cuff, and made a gesture with the others next to him.
When he ignited the contents of the bamboo tube, everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses. One drew the bow and strung the string, and the other tied the bamboo tube to the tip of the arrow. With a sound of Hei Ye, the long arrow left the string and went straight into the ground of the watchtower.
The sentry was vigilant, and carefully leaned over to check, when the bamboo tube suddenly released a burst of white smoke.
Caught off guard, several sentries inhaled the white smoke one after another, rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.
The group of people boarded the ladder and climbed up the Great Wall. When they saw that the sentinel had passed away, they immediately cast sharp eyes.
The soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty stationed at the South Great Wall were staring intently at Dali in front of them, when they suddenly heard a clear and loud whistle from the observation tower.
They looked suspiciously, but they couldn't see the sentinel standing guard, and their hearts sank suddenly.
There is a situation!
A horn blew in the distance, and thousands of arrows rained from the sky, shooting straight at the garrison soldiers.
A strange sound came from afar, resounding through the sky.
"It's the Japanese pirates! The Japanese pirates united with the Dali army to attack the Great Wall at night, and be on alert quickly! The whole army is on alert!" An experienced veteran general's face changed drastically when he heard the voice, and he ran forward with his legs. Shouting loudly.
There were not many soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty stationed at the southern border. Since the last time the crown prince Shen Yu returned to the court, there were tens of thousands of soldiers who returned home along with them. There were only a few thousand soldiers who actually guarded the southern Great Wall.
And looking at the coalition forces of the Japanese pirates and Dali this time, even listening to the sound of horseshoes, I know that there are at least more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.
Although the Japanese pirates in Dali are weak, they have very few troops this time. It is possible that the two armies will cross the Great Wall and attack the southern border of the Celestial Dynasty.
This is the first time that the old general has faced the enemy with such a serious attitude since he guarded the Great Wall for so many years.
? The enemy is outnumbered, and the outcome is determined.
Even so, you have to fight to the death.
"All armies, obey the orders and guard the Great Wall! Those who come¡ª" The old general drew out the long sword at his waist, stared at the rapidly approaching alliance army with red eyes, and shouted the three words with the greatest strength in his life, "Kill no one!" amnesty!"
The Japanese pirate army rushed to the front row pushing a row of strange things.
"Kill the Central Plains people!" Someone yelled, and those who were sitting behind the strange objectThe Kou soldiers quickly turned their direction, polished the torch, and pointed at a long line in front of them.
"Boom!"
A loud noise pierced the plain, and the gate of Changling Pass was bombarded by artillery fire.
Also smashed the towering watchtower.
Suddenly, gunpowder smoke rose from this side, minced meat was everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.
The old general struggled to get up from the pool of blood, pushed aside the blood stone on his body, drew out his long sword and rushed forward with a roar.
The long arrows all over the sky suddenly struck, and the old general had already been hit by more than a dozen long arrows in front of him before he could run a few steps.
His pupils suddenly widened.
In the sky full of blood, the last thing the old general saw was the two coalition forces excitedly leaping over himself kneeling on the ground and rushing into the closed gate of the fallen Changling.
The strange big object was pushed by the Japanese pirates, over the old general's body, and broke into the closed door with the army.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Thunder came suddenly from the sky, icy rain mixed with unknown loud noises swept across the South Great Wall, completely bringing the soldiers lying on the ground into darkness and chaos.
According to historical records, in 1654 A.D., Japanese pirates united with Dali, and the two armies captured Changling Pass in the southern Xinjiang of China with Western artillery fire. None of the soldiers stationed in the city retreated. With 5,500 men and horses in a bloody battle, the entire army was finally wiped out.
The two armies drove straight in, intending to capture the southern border with lightning speed
"Boom!"
Another thunderclap sounded.
In the ruins of Changling Pass, a soldier who was blown up and lost half of his arm suddenly woke up.
He got up and looked around hastily, all he could see were the flesh and blood of his compatriots smashed by the artillery fire.
The little soldier staggered to his feet and caught a glimpse of a man kneeling in a pool of blood not far away.
His eye sockets suddenly turned red.
That'stheir old general.
Xiao Bing knelt down and kowtowed three times, then quickly got up and ran towards the official road.
There were a dozen frightened war horses walking around restlessly at this moment.
These Hummers are all fast horses specially bred by the frontier for the imperial court.
And be familiar with the official road shortcuts so that you can quickly return to Chang'an.
The little soldier untied the reins for them, led a horse, stepped on another fast horse, and hurried away in the dust.
It was three days before the Chang'an court knew that Changling Pass in southern Xinjiang had fallen.
Emperor Jing Yuan was furious, and quickly dispatched his crown prince, Shen Yu, with 300,000 cavalry to support southern Xinjiang.
After Song Cheng heard the news, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
He twisted his fingers and quickly deduced it, and his expression changed drastically.
