The autumn air is crisp and the sky is high and the clouds are clear.
The sky in the north has just entered autumn, and it has turned completely blue. Occasionally, white clouds drift on the sky, which is like white stars entering the blue.
The autumn wind suddenly picked up, rolling up a field of yellow sand and covering a large area of the sky.
An army emerged from the sand and dust, with flags hanging high and spears pointing in the air. Within a moment, the crowd grew in size and meandered forward, stretching to the horizon.
One or two black spots began to appear in the sky. As the black spots flew closer, they gradually became larger. Pigeons, hawks, and finally it was clear that they were several birds with flapping wings.
The Emperor of Han led the expedition in person. After more than ten days, the team finally arrived at Yumen Pass and saw the towering Guancheng in the distance.
After Su Lu strongly resisted the Thule army here, Yumen Pass began to be repaired, and eventually it became what it is today. The city wall towers into the clouds, with a pass crossing the ridge between the north and south.
Before the army arrived at Guancheng, the leading general took a few steps forward on horseback and shouted to Guancheng: "Senior soldiers on the city, listen, your Majesty has personally marched outside Guancheng. Please leave quickly, general."
City gate."
After shouting like this several times, a commotion broke out at the top of the city. The guards in black and red armor began to become chaotic. After a while, a general wearing a helmet and armor emerged from the city wall.
"May I ask who is the general below? The last general, Dong Hanyuan, has been commissioned by General Dong Cheng to greet His Majesty Luan Jia."
"I am Wang Qinian and Dong Hanyuan. You have been so bold in the Northland in the past few years, haven't you? You dare not open the door when His Majesty's cavalry arrives."
On the top of the city, Dong Hanyuan recognized Wang Qinian and ordered the sergeant:
"Open the door. We are one of our own people. Your Majesty may have really arrived."
There was a rumble of the city gate being opened, and the tall city gate was slowly opened. Guards in black and red armor lined up in two rows to supply the army to enter the city.
Wang Qinian drove his horse forward, followed Dong Hanyuan, raised his hand and punched him.
"You are so brave, you dare to block His Majesty's driving."
Dong Hanyuan chuckled and said, "General Wang doesn't know. The Rouran barbarians defrauded the city several times, and they used people who were the former heroes of our Han army. Without even thinking, they would have been hijacked by them to rob Guancheng. If General Zheng Kai hadn't been so alert,
, this Guancheng has been lost."
Wang Qinian was shocked when he heard this: "Why, how many people were rebellious in the North?"
Dong Hanyuan's face turned solemn: "The general will naturally know about it later."
Wang Qinian wanted to ask again, but the army slowly entered Guancheng and urged the two of them to get out of the way.
At the top of the city, a large flying bird fluttered its wings and fell from the sky.
The defenders started shouting, thinking it was a monster and wanted to kill it.
Wang Xiaoliu, who gave birth to the captain of the army, was already shouting: "Stop it, everyone, this is our army's flying bird, this is our army's flying bird."
The bird stopped, the hatch opened, and several bird soldiers jumped out, almost shocking all the Northland sergeants. There were people inside this thing, and people could actually fly into the sky.
Su Yun was the last one to jump out of the bird. When he saw a group of generals riding horses in the distance, he jumped onto the bird, pointed at the general and said:
"Zheng Kai, you are acting like a bad guy now, and you have become a general. Why, in the past few years, you have disliked the smallness of my family, and you are no longer willing to go to my house."
The general was Zheng Kai, leading a group of brothers who had just returned from fighting outside Guancheng. Hearing Su Yun's scolding voice, he hurriedly dismounted from his saddle and came to Feiniao's side, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Your Highness Princess, it's not that the young general doesn't want to go. It's just that the mountains and roads are far away from the capital. Every time you take a break, you don't have enough time to run to the capital."
"The prince is as kind to the general as a mountain, and the general does not dare or forget it. However, the prince encourages me to do so. The general will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Su Yun jumped down from the flying bird, "There is no need to live through fire and water. You are now a general in this city. I will find a spacious and comfortable place for my flying bird camp. I won't embarrass you, right?"
"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed."
Zheng Kai said in a loud voice, then turned around and ordered the soldiers behind him: "My sons, go and clean up the Zuojun Hou Mansion, park the birds for His Highness, and let the brothers and sisters in the Bird Camp rest and train."
Not far away, Dong Hanyuan's eyebrows almost wrinkled into curves.
Next to him, Wang Qinian asked, "Who is this General Zheng Kai? The Zuojun Hou Mansion is not an ordinary place, and he dares to clean it up for the Feiniao Camp of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Dong Hanyuan sneered: "The Zuojun Hou Mansion failed to clean up the Zuojun Governor's Mansion. It was General Zheng Kai who gave my uncle face."
"Arrogant and powerful general."
Dong Hanyuan cursed and led Wang Qinian and the soldiers inside.
"kill"
A shout of death suddenly rang out from the top of the city in the north. A flood of shouts of death rang out. All the generals gathered together and the fighting began.
Wang Qinian pressed the handle of the knife and looked towards the north of the city: "What's going on, Dong Hanyuan, why are there still fighting in the north of the city?"
Dong Hanyuan glanced at Zheng Kai's back: "It's not this group of arrogant soldiers who are causing trouble. They repeatedly go to the enemy camp to sneak attack and seek battles. They come back after fighting and lure the Rouran people outside Guancheng. Rouran is not very popular.
Naturally, they started fighting."
Su Lu's car passed by and he said: "Dong Hanyuan, come with me to the top of the city to see what this Rouran man looks like."
When Dong Hanyuan saw that it was Su Lu, he hurriedly responded and led Su Lu up to Guancheng.
At the top of the city, the fighting was still going on. The Rouran people had already climbed up on the ladder. A large group of Rouran people attacked the top of the city and fought with the Han army.
Inside the city gate tower, Dong Cheng was commanding. Groups of guards protected the city gate tower. Rouran people were constantly being kicked off the city wall from outside the city gate tower.
"What kind of fighting was commanded by Dong Cheng?"
Su Lu looked at the jagged battle lines at the top of the city and couldn't help but scold them.
Dong Hanyuan looked at it, gritted his teeth, and swallowed his words. No matter who brought these Rouran barbarians, the failure to defend the city was the responsibility of his own uncle.
Su Lu glanced behind him and ordered: "Xiao Liu, take your people and go up there to show the men under Dong Cheng what a strong soldier is."
"Su Ge, go and inform Su Yun that the Feiniao Battalion will take off and intercept Rou Hou's army in the middle. I want him to fail to attack the city and half of them will die first."
Not long after, the Flying Bird Camp flew over the city and reached the sky above the Rouran people.
The imperial guard battalion led by Xiao Liutong rushed forward, spears flying, and the imperial guards blessed by the formation card instantly cleared the city. All the Rouran soldiers who had attacked the city were dragged down the city.
"Swish swish"
The flying birds began to spray arrows downwards, and the dense crossbow arrows instantly covered the road outside the pass. The corpses of Rouran soldiers blocked the road in an instant, stacked up in layers.
"Kill out"
A Rouran general on horseback yelled and cursed.
"Whizzing"
The arrows flying down from the sky pierced the face of General Rouran, and together with his horse, he was nailed to the ground.
Dong Cheng, who was coming over to see Su Lu, jumped up.
"Kill well, kill in seconds, little prince Rouran, your grandson, must your Northern Eagle have broken wings this time, hahaha."
