The mountains and rivers collapsed, but the entire Golden City was in ruins and in a mess, with corpses strewn everywhere.
All the officials in the court were neatly dressed, moving and speaking with ease. Compared with the current scene, it was really ironic!
There was blood on the ground, scattered intestines, and countless heads chopped off.
The Tubo people attacked Jincheng for three days in a row, with tens of thousands of defenders in the city. However, since the battle of Monan, all their elite troops have been lost. The current Monan army is too immature.
They were all hastily drawn from the people, and most of them were only about fifteen or sixteen years old. How could they stand up to the current army of 60,000 tigers and wolves?
Tang Yin, the wine sacrificer, was wearing a Sima military armor and was standing on a city tower dripping with blood.
Bitter and hard to describe.
At the moment, only these two words can describe Tang Yin's mood.
The next moment, he couldn't help but made a "thud" sound and knelt down in a pool of blood.
Defending Wuwei Pass, 20,000 soldiers were killed.
Before retreating here, in just three days, nearly 10,000 soldiers died.
He is just a scholar who focuses on writing and writing. Even in the court, he is still engaged in a purely clerical job such as offering wine.
Normally he has never even touched a sword or a gun, but now he is carrying a sword and armor and becomes a Sima guarding Wuwei Pass.
He knew that the battlefield was not a child's play, and it was definitely not something that a man of letters like him could participate in.
But he was so confused that as soon as the document was handed down, he had to travel thousands of miles to come here to lead the troops to fight.
But just when Tang Yin was kneeling on the ground and crying silently, a scout suddenly ran over and shouted: "Tang Sima! The enemy troops are coming to knock on the gate again!"
Hearing this, Tang Yin quickly stood up and asked immediately: "How far is it from here?"
"I'm afraid it won't take more than a few miles, but we will reach the city in less than two seconds!"
Tang Yin showed a hint of urgency: "Hurry! Send 70,000 Longxia troops to gather in the city!"
"yes!"
The military and political factions in the DPRK and China have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. Just now, he also figured out that the reason why he came here to serve as Sima was because he became a victim of the civilian officials' weakening of the military attachés.
He was also part of the civil service group, but this time, the trouble went too far.
Once these Tibetan cavalry cross the last line of defense in the Central Plains, they will burn, kill, and loot all the way to Chang'an, at best, or directly destroy the country!
Which one is lighter and which one is more important, you can tell just by thinking about it.
But now, he suddenly thought of the boy who wrote five poems and slapped him in the face on the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past.
Wiping the blood on his face, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Yizhou.
"I'm afraid... I can only place my hope on him."
Soon, all the officers and soldiers of the four armies gathered in the city.
Seventy thousand soldiers were spread throughout the streets, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the city were all eagerly anticipating that these sons of Long Xia could repel the invaders.
But as they retreated all the way, these soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit.
Tang Yin didn't pay too much attention to this. He just ordered: "Those under the age of sixteen come out!"
Soon, about 40,000 soldiers came out.
Tang Yin paused and then said: "Those under twenty years old will go out!"
This time, there were less than 5,000 people left.
Tang Yin nodded to himself, and then led his deputy to the side.
"I'm afraid we can't defend this city."
The deputy general was a pure military general. During this period, Tang Yin was quite critical of the wine-sacrifice, thinking that he was sent by the civil servants to the cholera army, and he cursed him behind his back.
Hearing these depressing words, he said coldly: "You are making such a decision before the war has even begun. Lord Sima, please don't disturb the morale of the army!"
Tang Yin smiled faintly: "I know you have always looked down on me. I even look down on myself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said these words. Can you finish listening?"
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, but he still had a sad look on his face and just listened.
"I'm just a scholar, not the King of Shuchuan. I can no longer defend this golden city. Tubo will arrive at the city immediately. Those tens of thousands of children should not stay here, so... can you retreat with them later? "
After hearing this, the deputy general looked at the delicate face covered with blood, and his heart trembled slightly.
"and you……"
"I am the commander-in-chief of the army. Even if the entire army is in chaos under my command, at this moment, I am still the commander-in-chief of the army! I will take the remaining five thousand veterans to defend Jincheng and cover your retreat!"
Tang Yin paused and said solemnly: "This time, I, Tang Yin, will use my flesh and blood to pave a bloody road for you. Long Xia and the King of Shuchuan are here. If you hand over these tens of thousands of children to him, there may be a line between the life and death of the dynasty." vitality!"
Seriously... a righteous man!
There was a will to die in Tang Yin's eyes. Even if he looked down on this person before, what could the deputy general say now?
"General, follow your orders!"
After saying that, the deputy general hurriedly led the tens of thousands of sergeants to retreat.
As Tang Yin said, now there is only a glimmer of hope in the King of Shuchuan who once conquered Monan.
As for Tang Yin, he took the remaining five thousand soldiers to the city tower again.
At this moment, the Tubo people had not arrived yet. When the five thousand soldiers stepped onto the tower again and saw that the large army was retreating, they understood their fate.
But seeing that Tang Yin was also here, he silently accepted it.
These soldiers know that in addition to certain death, they also have another destiny, which is to defend their home and country!
"You bastard, you are about to kill the enemy, why are you still washing your face and shaking off your clothes?"
"You know what the heck, even if I die, I will die cleanly. I heard the King of Shuchuan say before that we soldiers are the most lovable people."
"The baby hasn't been born yet, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see it."
"Damn it, I've never even touched a woman in my life, damn it!"
…
It's like giving your last words. Some people pretend to laugh knowing that they are about to die, and some people burst into tears because they are worried about their wives and children at home. It really looks like everything in the world has been shrunk.
Tang Yin turned his back to everyone, but tears were already welling up in his eyes.
But at the next moment, the densely packed Tubo army finally arrived!
"alert!"
Now that the moat has been blocked, dozens of groups of Tibetan swordsmen are approaching the city wall carrying flying ladders.
Under Tang Yin's command, everything that could hit people was directed downwards.
But what followed was the catapults and arrows of the Tubo army.
For a time, the defenders on the tower suffered heavy casualties, and the defense weakened instantly.
"Our country is behind us! We have no way to retreat! Stop it!"
Tang Yin roared angrily. Although he was a scholar, he still lifted a stone and joined the blocking team.
People around him were constantly being killed by arrows, and a deep sense of despair continued to erode Tang Yin's heart.
But his hands never stopped for a moment.
Just throwing one more stone will buy more time for the large army to retreat.
But even so, they could not withstand the general trend, and the Tubo people climbed up the tower.
But he saw Tang Yin holding his sword straight and roaring angrily again: "If you can't defend it, then you won't defend it! For our family and our country, we will fight to the last man!"
