Chapter 178: Incredible! All major lines of defense have been breached!
Li Ji frowned.
coincide?
Is this really a coincidence?!
Grandma's.
With the minds of Turkic people, how could such a coincidence happen in such a place?!
But it is absolutely impossible for the Turks to know that the defense here is weak.
The entire border defense in Northern Xinjiang is known only to the city lord's palace and Chang'an.
That's a coincidence.
hiss……
Li Ji took a deep breath.
"Fight! However, we should focus on prevention and cooperate with the counterattack!"
"Let's take a look at the Turks first. What are they trying to do? Don't worry. There are many Turkic tribes and their mobilization will not be smooth. Let's first find out what their intentions are this time."
Li Ji shouted.
After the deputy general received the order, he quickly went down to deliver the order.
Li Ji sat in front of the sand table.
Look at the battle map between the enemy and ourselves.
The mind, runs it like crazy.
However, he wasn't too worried.
After all, in the past few years, Datang had worked hard to build an extremely strong defense line in northern Xinjiang.
If the Turks want to break through, it is simply a dream!
As long as the Tang Dynasty refused to defend the checkpoints and cities, it would be impossible for the Turks to break through and cause substantial harm to the Tang Dynasty!
But now the Turks actually launched a war directly, which is somewhat unexpected.
After all, how long has it been since Jieli Langya came back?
Li Ji took a deep breath.
Start dispatching troops and generals.
However, the direction and speed of the subsequent development of the situation completely plunged Li Ji into despair.
Turkic royal court.
Jieli Langya's whole body was covered in blood.
But his face was extremely excited.
Today, he was between the five hundred cavalry, only missing the weakest point of the Tang Dynasty. After a burst of massacre, the Tang army had almost no defense.
They even went a short distance deeper.
The heart-rending wails of the people of the Tang Dynasty who lived nearby sounded like the most pleasant sound to his ears.
heard it!
seen!
Found that feeling again!
Chang'an!
Fight to Chang'an!
We must seize the concubines of the Tang Dynasty, and let everyone in the world know and experience the terror of my Turkic cavalry!
"Father!"
"I'm back!"
"Really, it's all true, this border defense map is all true, hahaha... Father, let's get started, keep going, send out troops!
"
"This time, let us bury the so-called Central Plains with our own hands!"
Jieli Langya rushed into the big tent, his voice loud and clear, like a big copper and aluminum bell.
Jieli Khan looked at the excited Jieli Langya and the generals behind him, took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly.
"Go, go now! Send a message to other tribes and ask their leaders to come to the royal court!"
"Hahaha... Tang Dynasty, this time Chang'an of Tang Dynasty, I, Jieli Khan, will destroy it! I will seal the wolf in Chang'an, hahaha..."
Jieli Khan shouted.
His roar echoed throughout the entire royal court.
fanaticism!
excited!
Incomparable and exciting!
Immediately, someone will be notified as soon as someone comes down.
Not long after, Tuli Khan Shiwei Khan Tiele Khan...
All the leaders of these major tribes arrived.
At the same time, they also brought armies from their major tribes.
Flags flying!
Thousands of miles long!
Horror in the world!
Dark clouds are coming!
"Everyone, we meet again. This is Datang's border defense map. I have arranged the location of your tribe. Everything is as planned!"
"Yesterday, I sent someone to check the authenticity of this border map. It is true!"
"See you in Chang'an!"
Jieli Khan shouted.
He called them all to the front of the sand table.
Above, all attack routes have been drawn.
Every line, every line, is extremely clear.
"This... border defense map? It's from the Northern Territory of the Tang Dynasty? Hahaha... God helps me!"
"It seems that this time, we are really going to meet in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Without further ado, let's start the attack now!"
The Khans of all the major tribes roared crazily.
They are crazy!
Really crazy!
They even have the border defense map of the Tang Dynasty, but God is really helping them, so attacking the Tang Dynasty is like searching for something.
The Turkic royal court was crowded with people.
The Turkic cavalry that had just gathered separated again.
Each tribe began to attack in its own direction.
Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan looked at the movement of the army, and their brows became extremely excited.
"By the way, Khan, how do we arrange it for Liang Guo?"
Tuli Khan asked.
Jieli Khan snorted coldly and said: "Those cowardly people, just let them follow my Turkic army as they please. Liang Shidu, don't underestimate his sneaky ability."
"Perhaps the best arrangement is not to make arrangements for them. He will bring us a surprise."
Tuli Khan nodded heavily.
He quickly replaced the messengers and asked him to go straight to Liangcheng.
Throughout northern Xinjiang, the wind began to howl.
"This year, it seems to be colder than usual."
Jieli Khan looked up at the sun covered by dark clouds.
"That's right, Khan, we can go to Datang to spend the winter, hahaha..."
"Lying in the arms of concubines like Queen Changsun, you won't feel cold anymore."
Tuli Khan shouted.
Jieli Khan also had a greedy smile on his face.
………………
Yichengguan.
This is a checkpoint on the defense line in Northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty.
On the high observation platform, four soldiers from the Tang Dynasty patrolled boredly.
This place is as peaceful as ever.
"Have you heard? The Blackwater Checkpoint was destroyed by the Turks the day before yesterday. The people there were killed and injured countless times. The Turks are starting to cause trouble again."
A soldier with a bow and arrow in his hand leaned against the pillar of the lookout and said.
"I've heard about it too, so let's just say that the Turks are very lucky. There are fortresses on both sides of the Blackwater Pass, with heavy troops stationed there. If you are not careful, you will be made into a dumpling."
"Grandma, I never imagined that they would dare to rush through the Black Water Pass."
A sturdy veteran also said somewhat unbelievably.
"This... who can say otherwise? I heard that the beacon smoke at Heishui Pass was overrun by the Turks before they even had time to light it."
"When the reinforcements arrived, the Turks had long since disappeared. When winter comes, these damn beasts can't stay idle!
"
Another person said.
"Who says it's not the case? However, they still want to go south. It's just a dream."
"No matter how lucky you are, if you make it through the black water barrier, if you find a hard opponent, you will definitely be gone long ago."
"The strength of our defense line is still very strong. With all these years of preparation, we will never give the Turks another chance."
The veteran said in a deep voice.
"Yes, look at our Yicheng Pass. Although there are not many defenders, there are heavy troops stationed in the east, west, north and south."
"They Turks would never dare to attack here."
"Our brothers have really found a good job this year. By the spring of next year, I will be discharged from the army and go home."
"When the time comes, go get a few acres of fertile land and get a wife, hehehehe..."
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, holding bows and arrows, scratched their heads, looking forward to it.
"really."
The veteran nodded and said, "This is quite good."
"Our place is so peaceful! No matter how hard the attack outside is, it probably won't affect us."
"With General Li Ji in charge of Northern Xinjiang, there will be no chaos!"
“They Turks don’t even think about going south!
"
The veteran said and stretched.
None of them took the Turks seriously.
Although the Turks are powerful, although they had good luck and took advantage of a loophole in the past few days, fighting is not about luck.
They have great confidence in Datang's defense line.
The four of them chatted one after another.
But suddenly.
Among the four, the young man who had always been taciturn and slightly thin suddenly flashed his eyes.
Then, he rubbed his eyes vigorously.
Looking over from a distance.
"what is that?"
"It seems to be moving quickly due to black spot syndrome. Oh, it can't be a Turk, right?"
he screamed.
"Turks? Fuck you, how is that possible? How is it possible that the Turks can bypass the fortress in front and attack us!
"
"That's right, kid, your eyes haven't been used for a long time, are they all spent, huh?!"
"Don't talk nonsense. The Turks don't attack other places, but they attack us? How could they dare? Our place has always been publicized to the outside world. We are a big pass with countless defenders. The Turks will never be stupid enough to come and attack us!"
The three of them didn't believe it and shook their heads. Someone reached out and Jun Qing slapped the young man on the back of the head.
"But...but..."
"Really...really Turkic!
"
"The Turks are coming, the Turks are coming!
"
"..."
At this time, the young man paused for a few breaths, but then he roared out.
As soon as he said these words, the other three people all trembled, stood up quickly, and looked towards the front.
as expected!
What was once a black spot has become the size of a bee.
Between heaven and earth, in Wuyang Wuyang, the sound of horse hooves was deafening, like a landslide, sweeping over and making the whole world boil.
"Damn, they are really Turks, how could they appear here!?"
"Light the fire, light the fire, hurry up!
"
"I'll fight these idiots!
"
"Use your strength and retreat, retreat now, our strength here is too weak and we cannot stop the Turkic cavalry at all!
"
"The war is on, the war is on. It won't be long before someone comes to support us. Let's retreat first!"
"
"..."
The beacon was lit, like a giant pillar, rushing straight into the sky.
The four people retreated from the watchtower in panic, and the gongs in their hands were about to be smashed.
The sound was deafening.
All the soldiers have woken up.
They are shocked!
They are surprised!
I have no idea why the Turks dare to attack here!
However, just when they were stunned, the Turkic cavalry had already surged up like a flood. The Tang army that rushed to fight was no match at all.
A scream!
Laughing wildly!
At this moment, the entire northern border of the Tang Dynasty was lit one after another with beacon smoke.
Connect into a line.
Like...the end!
………………
Yunzhou City.
Li Ji went crazy.
He is really going crazy.
The Turks suddenly appeared and moved so fast that it was completely unexpected. When he received the news, all the Turks were under the Tang Dynasty border guard.
but……
This is nothing!
The most terrible thing is that the Turks seem to have opened their eyes, and all attacks can be said to be directed at the weakest point of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, even though he has the qualifications of a god of war, he is still a little panicked!
how could it be possible?
The border defenses that the Tang Dynasty had worked so hard to build for several years had completely turned into a piece of paper, a piece of paper that would break if someone poked it.
damn it!
"Report to General Li that Yicheng Pass has been breached!"
"Report to General Li that Qingwa Pass has been breached!"
"..."
"Report...general, general, the Turkic cavalry have rushed in from places like Yicheng, Guan Qingwa, and all our fortresses outside have been split into isolated islands, and we can't rush out for a while."
"Report...general, the Turkic army is attacking Yunzhou City!
"
"..."
News from the front is coming in like pieces of paper.
Every time Li Ji heard a word, his heart would become colder and his face would become more distorted.
He quickly ordered Yunzhou City to close its city gates and go on defense. He also tried to find a way to mobilize other armies, hoping to break through the Turkic divisions, welcome back the Tang troops in the major fortresses, and help them break out of the encirclement.
But, it's too difficult.
The Turkic army of hundreds of thousands was like a plague of locusts.
They were densely packed and deadly, and they stabbed into Datang's skin fiercely with his mouth.
Yunzhou City is in chaos!
At the same time, a group of scouts with bloody flags behind them headed straight for Chang'an.
too fast!
What happened in Northern Xinjiang was too fast!
Everything left Datang without any reaction!
………………
Chang'an.
In front of Mingde Gate, the caravans lining up to enter the city formed a long queue.
The people coming in and out are even more frequent.
Inside and outside the gate of the city wall, various stalls and hawkers were shouting, and the whole of Chang'an was very lively.
At this moment, a war horse charged straight towards him.
"Get out of the way! Urgent report from Northern Xinjiang!
"
“Those who stand in the way will be killed without mercy!
"
"Da da da……"
The war horses rushed in without stopping.
Some of the officers and soldiers guarding the city were dissatisfied, but they were directly caught by the veterans next to them.
"The Blood Flag of the Tang Dynasty can go anywhere, even the imperial city can be rushed directly into it."
"Whoever dares to touch the blood flag will be guilty of annihilating the nine tribes."
"Beijiang, something happened."
Someone yelled.
Suddenly.
The whole city was in an uproar.
The blood flag is out.
From Northern Xinjiang!
Turks!
Over there, the Turks must have started making trouble, otherwise, they would never sacrifice something as urgent as a bloody flag.
The scouts went straight to the imperial city along Zhuque Street.
Countless people witnessed the bloody flag enter the city and leave.
The last time the Blood Flag of the Tang Dynasty was raised, it seemed that it was because... the Turks went south and arrived in Chang'an.
This time.
What's going on?
With the arrival of the Blood Flag, Chang'an's peace was completely broken and it began to fall into chaos.
Things in Northern Xinjiang are in trouble.
There's trouble!
"Turks, they must be Turks, damn it, the Turks dare to tear up the Weishui Treaty!
"
"Damn it, these Turkic bastards actually dare to take the initiative to attack our Tang Dynasty. It's been three years, it's been three years, it's time to come back!
