Tao Chuankai took off his helmet, sweat and blood mixed together, forming patch after patch on his face.
As a civil official, Tao Chuankai had no idea about marching wars. However, the war quickly catalyzed him, turning him from a literati who could not even hold a sword to a soldier who could kill the enemy on horseback.
However, the balance of war will not be skewed because of a person's growth, especially in a war. It is no longer personal strength, but human, material and financial resources.
If the enemy only had two or three countries, Datang would not have any problems.
But this time, the opponent is the entire wilderness.
Even if Datang was extremely powerful, he would be stretched out and embarrassed in the face of attacks from the whole world.
More importantly, the southern border is facing the Qi State.
A powerful country second only to Datang in terms of overall national strength.
A Qi country with Hengzong Dao and Dahuang No. 1 Rune Master.
Since the outbreak of the war, the Tang army led by Tao Chuankai has directly entered a strategic defensive posture, but the city has still been lost one by one, and the number of soldiers has also shown a cliff-like decline.
Now Tao Chuankai only had one city in his hands, and the number of soldiers was less than five thousand.
But outside the city, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses hoarding!
Qi State, this is a nationwide crime!
There are few generals that can be used under Tao Chuankai's hands, and there are not many left, so he can only go into battle as a civilian and fight the enemy.
Tao Chuankai didn't know how long he could hold on, he only knew that there would not be any reinforcements coming from Chang'an.
Because Datang was all enemies in all directions.
"Commander, wash your face." The adjutant handed over a hot towel, "You haven't closed your eyes for three days, and the iron man can't hold it if this continues. Commander, you can go and rest for a while. This time Qi Guo There shouldn't be an attack. You are our last hope. If you fall, this city will really be over."
Tao Chuankai smiled bitterly as he wiped his face, "I might be able to sleep. Did I do everything I asked you to do?"
"Most of the people in the city have been evacuated, but there are still a small number of people who don't want to leave their homeland." said the adjutant.
"Confused!" Tao Chuankai threw the towel into the copper basin, and the water splashed directly on the adjutant's face: "Don't they understand that once the Qi ** team enters the city, it will be ***. No one can kill. Live! Men will die tragically, women will be humiliated."
The adjutant said cautiously: "The lower officials understood what they said to them, but the people said... said..."
Tao Chuankai said displeasedly: "What did you say! Tell me."
"They said that even though they are on the border, they also have the bones of the Tang Dynasty! Even if they die, they will be buried with the enemy!" said the adjutant.
Tao Chuankai's anger disappeared in an instant. He slowly sat down with the armrest of the chair. After a while, he let out a hey and said, "It's me Tao Chuankai I am sorry for them."
"Commander, don't say that." The adjutant persuaded: "This is not to blame you, we can support for so long, it can be said that it is entirely your credit. Without you, we people would have died in the previous city of Lordan. Up."
Tao Chuankai sighed, "Don't talk about it, what's the situation of Xuanjia Army?"
"*** Said that he and the Xuan Jia army will guard the city gate and block the enemy's fiercest first wave of attacks for us. There will not be a Xuan Jia army withdrawing from the battlefield alive. If the city gate is broken, it means Xuanjia Army all
Heroic martyrdom. "The adjutant said.
Tao Chuankai's hands shook.
At this moment, a messenger suddenly rushed in and staggered and knelt on the ground: "Commander, Qi State... Qi State has launched an attack."
Tao Chuankai stood up, "Which way."
The soldier's hand drew a circle above his head: "In all directions."
Tao Chuankai stretched out his hand: "Bring my helmet!"
The adjutant hurriedly handed the helmet over, and after Tao Chuankai took it on, he said loudly: "Through my order, all soldiers enter the first-level combat readiness state, wipe your knives, polish your spear heads, and follow me to kill the enemy!"
After speaking, Tao Chuankai walked out of the house.
Tao Chuankai originally thought that the people would panic and there would be countless people running around on the street, but when he walked out of the house, he discovered that there were no people on the street except the soldiers.
The people stayed in their own homes, looking out through the windows.
They are very calm.
Seeing Tao Chuankai walked out, these people also walked out of their homes one by one, mostly men, and they also had weapons in their hands.
The people of the Tang Dynasty are good at martial arts, and every household has one or two weapons.
The hands of these men are holding weapons tightly.
Tao Chuankai's Adam's apple rolled up and down, slowly walked onto the street, towards the battlefield at the gate of the city.
The people also followed behind him with weapons in their hands.
As we approached the city gate, the heat wave of war became clearer. The sound of fighting, the sound of weapons colliding, and the sound of knives and guns poured into everyone's ears.
Tao Chuankai's soldiers have long been used to it, but the performance of the people surprised Tao Chuankai again.
They didn't panic, as if they had already taken it for granted.
The battlefield is just ahead.
At this moment, a shout suddenly erupted from the crowd, and the shout immediately spread throughout the city gate.
"Datang Wushuang!"
In the first year of Datang Xinqi, on the eighth day of October, the southern border fell.
Guard Tao Chuankai, and 80,000 soldiers in the southern border, died heroically.
He led five hundred Xuanjia troops to the Bao Xiyuan to support, and together with his subordinates Xuanjia troops, they died on the battlefield and martyred to the country heroically.
All of the six cities in the south fell into the hands of Qi State.
General Qi State General Bai Yuze issued the order to kill the city. Hundreds of thousands of people in the southern border were slaughtered, and only less than two thousand people were lucky enough to recover the Central Plains.
After Meng Zhulu was killed, the morale of the soldiers in the Western Territory plummeted. Facing the coalition forces of Chu and Zhao, they were defeated head-on after less than half a month of resistance.
Eight cities in the west fell.
At this point, the four realms of Datang, east, west, south, and north were completely occupied.
The Allied Forces of the Six Nations approached Chang'an from the four realms at the same time.
Datang is at stake.
More importantly, there is no one in the hands of Emperor Datang.
Military generals Meng Zhulu and Guo Zhenying died in battle, Su Chunjun was captured, and Tao Chuankai and Bao Xiyuan, who were civil officials, also died in battle. At the same time, the academy has no intention of making a move.
In the view of the coalition forces, Datang's energy is exhausted.
When the soldiers came to Chang'an City, Datang was completely finished.
At present, the most important consideration for the generals of various countries is how to divide the benefits.
Everyone wants to bite off the most fertile piece of the fat of Datang.
…
There were waves of ripples suddenly appeared in the originally calm mid-air.
The range of the ripples is about ten feet, and there are debris on the edge of the ripples like stardust.
Immediately afterwards, the center of the ripple was torn, and behind it was a dark hole that looked
It's like the depths of the universe.
Zhou Fei jumped out of this hole.
Land steadily.
The difficulty factor is zero and the score is zero.
He looked back at this teleportation array, and the feeling of inconsistent painting became stronger and stronger.
The teleportation array of Xinggong Pavilion, the moment Zhou Fei stood up, he felt that he had passed through a science fiction novel.
In his opinion, the fantasy teleportation array should be a bunch of wizards standing there, casting magic spells on him, countless red or other colored lines entangled on him, and finally they were teleported away.
But in Xinggong Pavilion, he stood on a completely mechanized teleportation formation.
The shape of the teleportation array, the base is a classic six-pointed star, and there is a light on each corner of the star. Of course, Zhou Fei has observed that it is not a light, but just looks like it.
If this is the case, it can be explained by the difference in aesthetics.
But when Zhou Fei saw the people in Xinggong Pavilion opening the teleportation array, he realized that there was definitely a big problem with this shelter.
The teleportation array turned on, it turned out to be a button!
Qu Mengli pressed a red button, followed by Zhou Fei and heard a mechanized female voice: "The positioning system is on, the teleport position is being locked, the lock is completed, the teleport is on, the countdown..."
This is definitely not the style of painting that should appear in Dahuang.
This style of painting is similar to the system that has disappeared.
However, Zhou Fei had no spare time to think, because he had already been teleported away.
When I pick up Wei Wan in the future, I will study the style of this place.
Zhou Fei even had a bold idea in his heart, but it lacked theoretical support.
Now let's pay more attention to the present.
Just like going to Xinggong Pavilion before, here is also devastated, with corpses all over the field.
The air is full of disgusting blood.
At a glance, Zhou Fei fell into unprovoked fury.
Because most of the corpses in the mountains and plains are from the Tang Dynasty.
And it's the people.
Women are unclothed, men are physically disabled.
One can imagine how terrible they were before they died.
Walking in the center of these corpses, the blue veins on Zhou Fei's forehead kept jumping wildly.
When he saw a baby's corpse, Zhou Fei's anger reached its limit.
He knelt before the baby's corpse and roared.
The roar spread far away, like a trapped beast.
After enough venting, Zhou Fei began to dig the hole with his bare hands, digging blood dripping with blood and blood.
A three-foot-deep pit was finally dug out, Zhou Fei picked up the baby and slowly put it into the pit.
"Child, I'm sorry, but we didn't let you see this world. But you can rest assured that I will remember the bloody vengeance in my heart, and I will avenge you in the future." Zhou Fei said while covering the soil, his voice trembling and emotionally sad.
When the pit was filled, Zhou Fei suddenly heard a very small voice for help.
He suddenly looked up and looked around.
Soon, he found the source of the sound.
Zhou Fei rushed over, digging out the person from the pile of corpses, a steady stream of spiritual energy poured into the opponent's body, "Hold on, I can save you!"
Blood kept pouring from this person's mouth, his lips buzzing up and down, as if to say something, Zhou Fei pressed his ear to it, but still heard nothing.
After a few breaths, the person died.
Zhou Fei became cold all over.
