Chapter 37: Serving filial piety and offering a plan, the Turks are defeated (1)
On the battlefield, several people have returned from wars since ancient times.
This is where men fight for the country and the destination of those soldiers.
Brother, I wish you invincible and return to the triumphant.
He turned his head and left, continuing to investigate the cat ghost case.
Little did he know that Gu Jiuling, who was beside him, had a sense of undetectable worry in his cold eyes after watching the army head north.
If he remembers it well, the general in the northern border seems to be his father's old friend.
When they returned to Chang'an from the northern border, there were not many grains and herbs there.
I hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will arrive in time with food and reinforcements.
At that time, in the northern border, Changping Pass.
The sky is vast and the mist is heavy.
Above the Great Wall, red flags fly by the ink edge. In the center of the flag, the word "One Day" is particularly conspicuous.
A group of soldiers wearing war armor held longbows in their hands and stared at the Turkic army that was coming from the city ahead.
Their armor was stained with blood and their hair was unkempt, which showed how fierce the battle had not long ago.
On the lookout stand, a young man in a blue shirt and a scarf wrapped in a head. He tilted his feather fan in his hand, and his warm eyes reflected the vast Turkic army.
"Catch fire and shoot arrows." At one moment, the young master slowly raised his hand, waved forward, and opened his thin lips lightly.
A horn sounded loudly next to it.
So with a command, thousands of arrows were fired at once.
The battle to defend the city lasted for seven days and seven nights, and the Turkic army was full of food and supplies. Because the spies received news that the soldiers, horses, food and supplies in the northern border of the Celestial Empire were about to be eliminated, they prepared to fight on their backs.
So, the Turkic General Abi went out to attack Changping Pass.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's 100,000 arrow rain suddenly came - the arrow rain brought fire, and directly broke into the Turkic camp and caught them off guard.
Abi, who had been through many battles, was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted. He felt that the Heavenly Dynasty was afraid of help, so he shouted loudly: "Get back ten miles!"
The Turkic soldiers, who were in chaos, found their backbone, and regardless of their compatriots who had been shot by rockets, ran back.
Seeing the Turkic withdrawal, the Great Wall soldiers immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their intuition was very satisfying.
The arrogant and domineering barbarians a few days ago have fled to retreat today, and finally they can laugh at them.
"Thank you, Mr. Fengxiao, for helping me with bamboo arrows to defeat the Turkic barbarians!" An old general with gray hair walked to the young master and bowed to him.
"The marshal doesn't have to perform this gift." The young man tilted his feather fan and smiled slightly.
It turned out that this young master was named Su Bai, and he was a disciple of the great scholar of the previous dynasty.
Su Bai, whose courtesy name was Fengxiao, was known as Le'an Jushi. He once joined the Ming Dynasty as the top scholar, in order to achieve his grand ambitions and revitalize the Central Plains.
However, in the late Ming Dynasty, Su Bai's ambition was excluded by his colleagues and was even almost exiled. In a disheartened state, Su Bai dismissed from office and left the court, and since then he lived in seclusion among the mountains and rivers.
However, this hermit's reputation spread throughout the Central Plains, and therefore, Su Bai was once again promoted to one of the five heroes of the Central Plains.
This time he came to Changping Pass to encourage the Great Wall to garrison and repel the Turks.
Su Bai knew that after the troops in the Great Wall were exhausted, he dispersed all his family's wealth and added food to the garrison. He also sent a large number of bamboo from Sichuan generations, peeled the growing arrows, and replenished supplies to the Great Wall's archers.
The Marshal, or the old general, heard the name of Su Bai's five heroes, invited him into the military camp and asked Pojun about his good plans.
So this is the scene.
"The Turkic general Abi went south to invade the Heavenly Kingdom, and had never suffered such humiliation. He was dissatisfied and would attack the Great Wall again at night. Marshal, be careful." Su Bai bowed to the old general and bowed.
Mr. Xu, the old general, nodded, and was about to open his lips to say something to the soldiers next to him, suddenly a sound of fireworks and firecrackers came from outside the Great Wall.
Everyone heard the sound and looked at it.
"Look, what are those barbarian soldiers doing?"
"It seems like it's burning a fire."
"What's the thing next to them? It's too far away to see clearly."
"You will know when I go and get the mirror."
“…” “…”
The young soldier ran down the city wall quickly, took a cylinder with lenses, and then went up to the city wall, reaching the corner of his eyes, and looked out carefully.
"What's this thing you are?" someone asked him curiously.
"This is a Persian mirror, a foreign thing coming from the West. My father bought it for me with his connections. I heard that all the best people like this new foreign thing." The young soldier grinned and smiled proudly.
"Tell me quickly, what did you see?" Another soldier leaned over and asked curiously.
"Don't worry, ask me to see." He looked at the party carefully, then his body shook, his hands trembled, and the Persian mirror fell to the ground, rolled around, and stopped steadily at Su Bai's feet.
The young soldier pointed to the north and looked pale, as if he was frightened.
Su Bai was thinking, squatted down and picked up the Persian mirror, and looked at the Turks in the north like a soldier.
The Turks camped in a place very close to the Great Wall. They set up pots and boiled water, and each of them held a heroic altar to drink.
Looking further, several Turkic soldiers surrounded a wooden stand. A ragged woman in Central Plains was tied to the wooden stand. Turkic people were all in the north, all with eagle-eyed and straight nose bridges, which was quite similar to Persians. This skin is best distinguished between the Central Plains and the barbarians.
They raised their swords and cut off the head and limbs of the Central Plains woman. They carried one in their hands and walked towards the boiling iron pot, pulled off their hair rudely, and threw it straight into it.
There are many Turkic soldiers, so it is naturally not the same woman in the Central Plains who was slaughtered.
There are dozens or hundreds of wooden frames next to them, each of which helps the elderly, weak, women and children, and even children aged three or two.
The soldiers cut their bodies with a hideous smile and cooked them in detail.
The Turkic soldier who cut off the child's head actually sucked the little baby's brain in blood.
Blood splattered all over the place.
These... beasts.
The fists under Su Bai's sleeves were clenched quietly.
As soon as his heart moved, he suddenly put down his Persian mirror and covered his fists and coughed violently.
Mr. Xu hurriedly handed a clean handkerchief.
Su Bai thanked him and took it and placed it on his lips.
When I let go, there was a shocking red color on the veil.
"Mr. Fengxiao, you--" Mr. Xu was stunned when he looked at the bloodstain.
"It's okay to have an old illness." Su Bai suddenly put away the veil and looked north again. His warm eyes were a little more clearly visible.
In the past, the Five Barbarians invaded China, and the barbarians almost slaughtered all the bloodlines of the Han people.
Today, when the Turks were heading south, soldiers cooked the talismans of living people in the Central Plains in front of his soldiers in the Celestial Empire.
It's really... OK, OK!
Su Bai suddenly calmed his anger and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Marcedess, I have a plan. I wonder if the marshal is willing to adopt it?" He looked at Mr. Xu firmly.
"I am very lucky to be able to follow Mr. Xiao's plan." Mr. Xu stroked his white beard and nodded and smiled.
