In front of us, this relatively prosperous small county town located on the border is now a dilapidated scene.
The flames and smoke of the war are particularly visible. The small city gate has been blasted open, and half of the city gate has fallen to the ground beside it, with dried blood still covering it. Through the city gate, you can still see the inside of the city.
The corpses of people lying on the street were lying on the ground.
The carrion-eating vulture, which came from the plateau together with the Tubo people, had landed on the city wall and looked greedily at the city.
The whole city now seemed completely silent. Apart from the hoarse chirping of vultures, I could only occasionally hear the sounds of people in the city talking loudly and laughing in the Tibetan language.
At this time, the Tibetans who were captured this time were being counted in the city, but they did not notice that in the southeast direction, on the official road extending to the hinterland of Xiangzhou County, a forest of flags suddenly appeared, fluttering in the wind.
Far and near, it becomes clearer.
Then, the Yun Kingdom soldiers wearing silver armor came into view.
The army's lineup was neat and tidy, their spears were like a forest, and their swords were as bright as snow. Even though they were more than ten miles away, they could still feel the awe-inspiring killing aura in their bodies.
Among the Yun Kingdom army, Shi Chengwen, the leader, looked at the county seat in the distance with a heavy expression.
Purple light flashed in his eyes, and in his sight, he saw a black mist that had almost turned into substance lingering above Chongde County in front of him, showing a dead silence.
Shi Chengwen's hand holding the reins couldn't help but tighten at this moment, and the look in his eyes became more and more fierce.
Although we had known before that Tibetan soldiers entered the country to burn, kill, and loot, without seeing it with our own eyes, we would never be able to deeply appreciate the suffering suffered by the people.
Now, although he has not yet entered Chongde County and seen with his own eyes the murders committed by the Tibetan soldiers, he already knows that Chongde County has turned into a dead city just by observing the energy!
For such a crime, even though Shi Chengwen was calm-tempered, he couldn't help but get angry at this time, gritting his teeth and saying:
"Boyo!"
Jiang Wei on the side saw his expression and immediately understood and responded:
"The scouting horses in the army have just reported back. There is no ambush in Chongde County. The Tibetan soldiers and horses are all looting in the city."
Shi Chengwen immediately took out the sword from his waist, took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, and shouted:
"Lead the eight hundred cavalry under your command and go around to block other city gates. Be sure not to let a single Tibetan leave!"
When Jiang Wei heard this, he perked up and immediately shouted:
"yes!"
After saying that, he quickly took off the spear hanging on his horse, summoned his cavalry, pointed his spear slantingly, shouted loudly, and said:
"I have been ordered to quickly block the city gates and not let a single enemy escape!"
"Yes!" The cavalry under his command immediately shouted loudly, followed Jiang Wei, and rushed towards the Chongde County seat ahead.
The sound of rapid horse hooves was like thunder washing away the world, suddenly resounding all around.
The blood energy was billowing like smoke, soaring straight into the sky. In an instant, the heaven and earth felt it, and a vision condensed.
The strange phenomenon of the unicorn appears, and when it leaps, it screams in the sky, and the sound shakes the heaven and the earth, showing the majesty of the beast.
In addition, the 800 elite cavalry led by Jiang Wei, who were under the command of Anbei General Cheng Buji and were the elite soldiers of the Yun Kingdom second only to the special forces, also had visions appearing at this time.
The extremely sharp and indomitable feather arrow phenomenon, with the blood-red light swaying behind it, is constantly circling and circling around Jiang Wei's Qilin phenomenon, giving this Qilin, which is originally an auspicious beast, a touch of murderous intent.
With the blessing of the vision, the speed of these eight hundred cavalry increased again, and they shot towards Chongde County like an arrow from the string.
Such noises were heard by the Tibetan soldiers in Chongde County no matter how slow they were.
In the city, the Tubo general wearing half a pair of light armor turned his head to look at the sudden appearance of an army in the sky, his eyes widened, and he said in a daze:
"Dragon God is here..."
Some Tibetan soldiers rolled around and ran to the Tibetan generals in extreme embarrassment. They knelt down in panic, pointed at the vision in the sky, and shouted in horror with a hint of crying:
"No! General Wangdui, no, Xia, the people of Xia are here! The people of Xia, with the blessing of the gods, are here..."
Wangdui suddenly came back to his senses and exclaimed:
"Impossible! The Xia Kingdom and the Yun Kingdom are at war. It's impossible to care about this place... Can you see clearly, are they from the Xia Kingdom or the Yun Kingdom?"
At this time, the soldiers under his command were already a little arrogant and stammered back:
"Well, that may be because my subordinates didn't see clearly, or maybe they are from the Yun Kingdom..."
Having said this, the Tubo soldier suddenly collapsed on the ground in fear and cried:
"General Wangdui, we came to the Xia Kingdom and caused too many murders, so now, the people of the Yun Kingdom have come to punish us with the gift of the gods!"
Although the three kingdoms of Yun, Xia, and Li had all seen visions of large armies gathering on the battlefield before, the rest of the kingdoms in the world had only just received a little bit of news that was unknown to be true or false, let alone trapped.
Plateau, the country of Tubo has always been isolated!
Faced with the strange sight of a large army that they had never encountered before, this group of Tubo people who came from the plateau and believed deeply in gods performed even worse than the original soldiers of the Xia Kingdom.
The Tubo people are also well aware of the crimes they have committed since entering Xiangzhou County, and it is only at this time that they say things like "punishment from the gods".
However, in the past, it was because the benefits obtained from plundering were too great. In the Central Plains, even the wealth of small border towns could not make this group of Tubo people who had been in poverty for many years resist the temptation and annihilate their humanity.
Wangdui couldn't help feeling panicked and irritated as he listened to his men's cries.
He also saw the soldiers around him, all of whom had expressions of fear and regret. Wangdui reacted immediately, kicked away the crying soldiers, and scolded:
"Shut up, the Dragon God will only protect high-atomic citizens like us!"
Having said this, he pointed at the vision of the army coming from the sky and shouted:
"That's the power of the evil god! It's the evil god who peeks at my plateau and drives the people of the Yun Kingdom to invade. Pick up your swords and fight against the enemy. We have the protection of the Dragon God!"
A group of Tubo soldiers, under Wangdui's scolding, tremblingly picked up their swords, mounted their horses, and reluctantly gathered together.
And just when the Tubo soldiers were gathering in front of them, they heard shouts of killing, and the Yun army had already arrived!
The elite Yun soldiers stormed into the city boldly.
Looking at the withered and miserable scene in the city, all the Yun soldiers' eyes were about to burst. When they looked at the gathered Tibetan soldiers, their eyes became even more murderous.
At that time, Chengwen personally led his troops into the city, pointed to the front, and shouted:
"kill!"
"kill!"
The murderous intent that almost condensed into reality surged towards the Tibetan soldiers.
But in an instant, the Yun army had already rushed in front of the Tibetan soldiers.
What followed was a one-sided massacre.
Under the attack of the elite soldiers and horses of the Yun Kingdom, the Tibetan soldiers who were temporarily recruited were dispersed in a short time and fled in defeat.
However, at this time, the four gates of Chongde County had been blocked by Jiang Wei's troops. The Tibetan soldiers were trapped in the city and could not escape. They began to be separated and surrounded by the Yun army and annihilated one by one.
Since his armor and attire were much more conspicuous than those of ordinary soldiers, Wangdui was quickly escorted in front of Shi Chengwen by the soldiers of the Yun Army.
Shi Chengwen was riding on a war horse, looking down at Wangdui with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"The tribe you belong to, the name of the tribe leader, where they are, the deployment of troops...tell everything you know!"
Next to Shi Chengwen were soldiers who had been specially recruited to understand the Tubo language and were about to translate his words.
Wangdui's face was pale, he felt the sharp blade across his neck, swallowed, struggled in his heart and hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:
"My name is Wangdui, and I am from the Lang family. The leader of the tribe is Master Duoji... This time we sent troops to capture the land of Xia Kingdom to fill the deficit in the tribe. Now Master Duoji is taking his thousand and five thousand
Hundreds of soldiers are stationed in Jinchuan County, wanting to turn it into tribal territory... I also know who is driving Mr. Duoji, and I will tell you everything as long as the general spares my life!"
The soldiers around him who knew the Tubo language translated all these words to Shi Chengwen.
When Shi Chengwen heard this, a sneer suddenly appeared on his lips.
The person behind this is naturally a member of the Xia Kingdom! Your Majesty has already explained this matter, and you are still being used as a whistleblower?
Shi Chengwen immediately turned his horse's head around without even looking at Wangdui.
And just when Wangdui thought he was forgiven because of this secret, he heard Shi Chengwen speak again:
"Xiangzhou is already my country in Dayun, and its crime of plundering and massacring the people of Dayun cannot be forgiven!"
Wangdui didn't understand the Chinese Mandarin, so for a moment he didn't understand what it meant.
When Sergeant Yun who was guarding Wangdui heard this, he immediately showed a ferocious smile on his face and responded excitedly:
"yes!"
After saying that, someone raised the long knife with cold light in his hand and struck it down hard.
There was only a "puff" sound, and blood splashed out suddenly.
The pile of heads fell to the ground, with a look of confusion on their faces...——
But while the fighting was going on in Xiangzhou County, in Xia Kingdom's Jinling City, the situation was completely different from that on the battlefield, but the degree of danger was no less than the fighting on the battlefield, stirring up the strange storm and stirring up the undercurrent.
In front of the Danfeng Gate, the main entrance of the Xia Kingdom's palace, there were already many civil and military officials. The nobles and nobles of the clan gathered here. They all looked solemn and talked in twos and threes.
Now in the Xia Kingdom's court, the throne is pending.
King Qi, who was originally the most valued by Emperor Xia, is still in charge of the southwestern defense line in Jiangcheng Mansion. Among the princes in the capital, King Jin seems to have gained the attention of Emperor Xia again.
If Emperor Xia did not survive and passed away, then who would be the next emperor of Great Xia would be related to the prosperity, wealth, power and status of these people, and they could not help but ignore it!
So after receiving the news that the current Xia Emperor was seriously ill, these people rushed here in a hurry, hoping to take the opportunity to see the Xia Emperor and find out what the current Xia Emperor's condition was.
However, even though they had been waiting for several hours, none of the many princes, clan princes, civil and military ministers, and nobles gathered outside Danfeng Gate had been summoned by the palace.
At this time, especially the princes who aspired to the throne, were most impatient.
Even King Chu and King Jin, who are the oldest and usually the most prudent, clenched their hands nervously in their sleeves at this time.
And just when everyone was already impatient, the closed Danfeng Gate suddenly opened with a creaking sound.
Wearing eunuch attire and bowing humbly, Emperor Xia's personal eunuch, the old eunuch, was overjoyed and walked out slowly.
Facing the nervous and eager gazes of the princes, courtiers, and nobles of the clan, the old eunuch first bowed, then said with a sullen face:
"Your Majesty is feeling slightly unwell. After the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, it has been greatly relieved. Now he has rested. I can only ask your highnesses and adults to go back first. When your Majesty's health improves, I will naturally summon you!"
Although the old eunuch was Emperor Xia's personal eunuch, at this time, he could not send everyone away just by saying something like this.
Prince Qing, who was the youngest and most aggressive, immediately stood up and said rudely to the old eunuch:
"Since my father is seriously ill, I will enter the palace and personally serve my father on his bed to fulfill my filial piety! This is a matter of course, and my companion should not stop him!"
Having said this, King Qing immediately snorted coldly and rushed towards the palace.
When the princes saw this, their eyes immediately moved and they froze on the spot. No one stood up to stop him.
The old eunuch's brows moved, his eyes darkened, he picked up the whisk in his arms with his right hand and waved it casually.
In an instant, there was an invisible, soft force that spread out from the whisk, turning into thousands of subtle forces, forming an invisible barrier, directly blocking Qing's body.
In front of the king.
Prince Qing walked in quickly with his head downcast, just wanting to take advantage of this moment and rush into the palace in one breath.
But before he could pass by the old eunuch, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
At this time, he felt as if his body had suddenly fallen into mud, and his whole body was bound by invisible energy, and his movements were extremely stagnant. For a moment, he froze in place, unable to move at all.
When the princes led by King Chu and King Jin saw this, they were all shocked.
Like the Yun Kingdom, Emperor Taizu of the Xia Kingdom was also a peerless master. Naturally, the Xia Kingdom's royal family also had martial arts inheritance. After these princes became kings when they became adults, there were countless masters in the world who devoted themselves to serve under his command. Under the influence of what they heard and saw,
Even though the martial arts of these princes are not very high, their eyesight is not low.
At this time, all the princes' eyelids jumped when they saw the old eunuch Si Xi's effortless approach.
At the very least, he is also a ninth-level master...
Originally, they just wanted to take advantage of Prince Qing's reckless temperament to test it out.
Unexpectedly, this time, the secretive personal eunuch beside the old man was actually revealed.
With the presence of this at least ninth-level master standing in front of the palace gate, everyone had been secretly thinking that they wanted to take advantage of the chaos when King Qing broke into the palace gate, and entangled the courtiers and nobles to rush into the palace together.
It’s completely unworkable!
The old eunuch Sixi looked at Prince Qing on the side, raised his eyebrows, and bowed:
"His Royal Highness Prince Qing, it is better not to cause any more trouble to Zhao Zhaoyi in the palace. Go back!"
After that, he waved his hand casually, and the invisible energy that was intertwined with each other disappeared instantly.
Prince Qing stumbled and regained his balance in front of him.
He looked at the old eunuch with fear, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he snorted without saying anything.
Even the youngest and most energetic Prince Qing knew that if he continued to make trouble, he would be suspected of violating the palace ban. When someone took the opportunity to attack, it would be difficult to explain.
In desperation, everyone in front of Danfeng Gate could only disperse reluctantly and make plans after returning...
