The next morning, Chen Cong carefully instructed the shadow guards in the mansion to protect Gu Jiuling, and then took a step and took a golden halo to southern Xinjiang.

As for He Qi, he did not bring him with him, but kept him in Chang'an to protect the Turkic princess Dugu Xiaoyu.

When Song Cheng found out that He Qi was still in Chang'an, he was so angry that he was so angry that he was glaring at him.

This Chen Cong is so angry that he is so angry!

The seventh day of the late twelfth lunar month is about the end of the year.

After a heavy snowfall, the New Year atmosphere became more and more intense.

From Chang'an City to the palace and to the streets and alleys, there are all over the place, and they write Spring Festival couplets and hang lanterns, which looks like a lively New Year.

Recently, it seems that monsters also want to enjoy the joy of the New Year, and the whole world has become much quieter - Jinyiwei rarely receives monster cases that cause trouble.

Seeing this, Song Cheng simply waved his hand and gave up part of the Jinyiwei New Year holiday in advance.

Among them are Gu Jiuling and Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng originally wanted to go forward and get close to Gu Jiuling, and take a meal at the royal palace. However, when he saw his cold face, he went forward to make trouble with no shame.

Gu Jiuling, who counted the annual leave, brought two thousand-mile horses from the military camp, left Chang'an overnight, and rushed to southern Xinjiang.

He was going to visit the Gu family army who came down from the battlefield.

At that time, it was already night in Jinling City.

The red lights hang high on the Qinhuai River. The girls in the boat were wearing cotton groups, holding pipas, sitting at the bow of the boat without fear of the cold, singing melodious little songs.

Among them, the one who sang the most was the Qinhuai scenery that has been circulating for a long time.

The old and weak women in the city gathered together, and some of their daughters sat on the threshold with jade rabbit lanterns, waiting for their father to return from the battlefield.

Further south, the troops stationed in the Great Wall of Southern Xinjiang were wrapped in thick armor and looked further south from afar.

Behind them are the lights of thousands of homes, and they are in a state of joy.

Many years ago, they were also the country kids who were holding candied haws and squatting by the stove, drooling and watching the delicious food on the table.

Now, they can only look into the distance with their eyes, stand on the Great Wall, and stand tall.

That childhood fun heart will eventually be buried deep in my heart.

Under the observation deck, a group of uninvited guests dressed in night clothes suddenly arrived.

One of them took out a bamboo tube from his cuff and compared it with the other ones.

When he lit the things inside the bamboo tube, everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses. One person set his bow and strings, and the other tied the bamboo tube to the tip of the arrow. With a sound of darkness, the long arrow left the string and penetrated straight into the ground of the observation deck.

The sentry was alert and leaned over and was about to check it out when a burst of white smoke suddenly blew out of the bamboo tube.

Caught off guard, several sentries inhaled white smoke, and fell to the ground as soon as they rolled their eyes.

The group of people climbed the Great Wall on the ladder. Seeing that the sentry was already exasperated, they immediately looked at them with a stern look.

The soldiers of the Celestial Empire stationed at the South Great Wall were staring at Dali ahead, but suddenly they heard a crisp and loud whistle coming from the observation deck.

They looked at them suspiciously, but could not see the sentry standing guard, and their hearts suddenly sank.

Something is happening!

A horn blew up in the distance, and thousands of arrows came across the sky, shooting straight towards the garrison soldiers.

A strange sound came from afar and resounded throughout the sky.

"It's the Japanese pirates! The Japanese pirates joined forces with the Dali army to attack the Great Wall at night, be on guard quickly! The whole army is on guard quickly!" A veteran general with senior experience suddenly changed his expression when he heard the voice, and ran forward, shouting loudly.

There were not many soldiers of the Celestial Empire stationed in the southern border. Since the last time the prince Chen Yan returned to the court, there were tens of thousands of soldiers returning home. Only a few thousand people were truly guarding the South Great Wall.

Looking at the Japanese pirates and Dali coalition forces, even though they heard the sound of horse hooves, they knew that there were at least 200,000 troops.

Although the Japanese pirates Dali were weak, they had very few troops this time, and the two armies had not been able to cross the Great Wall and attack the southern border of the Celestial Empire.

This is the first time that the veteran general has faced the enemy with such a serious attitude in the years since he defended the Great Wall.

If there are many enemies, we will have few enemies, and the outcome will be determined by heaven.

Even so, you have to fight to the death.

"All the troops obey orders and guard the Great Wall! Come-in--" The old general pulled out his long sword from his waist, stared at the alliance army in front with red eyes, and shouted out the three words with the greatest strength in his life, "Kill without mercy!"

The Japanese pirates rushed into the front row with a row of strange things.

"Kill the people of the Central Plains!" Someone shouted, and the Japanese pirate soldiers sitting behind the strange objects quickly turned their direction, polished the fire stick, and pointed it on a long line in front of them.

"boom!"

A loud bang broke through the plain, and Changling Pass was shattered by artillery fire.

It also knocked down the standing watchtower.

This recipe immediately smoke filled the smoke, and the meat was everywhere, and blood flowed into a river.

The old general struggled to get up from the pool of blood, pulled away the bloodstone, pulled out the long sword and rushed forward roaring.

The sky suddenly hit, and the old general had already been hit by more than a dozen long arrows before he ran a few steps.

His pupils suddenly widened.

In the bloody sky, the last thing the old general saw was the coalition forces of the two sides jumped over themselves kneeling on the ground and rushed into the fallen Changling and closed the door.

The strange big object was pushed by the Japanese pirates, overwhelmed the old general's body, and broke into the gate with the army.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Thunder suddenly came from the sky, and the cold rain mixed with unknown loud noises swept across the South Great Wall, completely bringing the soldiers lying on the ground into darkness and chaos.

According to historical records, in 1654 AD, the Japanese pirates joined forces with Dali, and the two armies captured Changling Pass, the southern border of the Celestial Dynasty with Western artillery fire. No one retreated. They fought bloody battles with 5,500 men and horses, and the entire army was destroyed.

The two armies marched straight in, intending to capture southern Xinjiang with thunderous force...

"boom!"

Another thunder sounded.

In the ruins of Changling Pass, a soldier who had lost half of his arms was suddenly awakened.

He stood up and looked around in a hurry, and his eyes were filled with the flesh and blood of his compatriots shattered by artillery fire.

The soldier staggered and stood up, and saw a man kneeling in a pool of blood not far away.

His eyes suddenly turned red.

That is...their old general.

The soldier knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard, bowed three times, quickly got up and ran towards the official road.

There were more than a dozen frightened war horses there, and they were walking around restlessly at this time.

These Hummers were specially raised by the frontier to report to the court.

And be familiar with the shortcuts of the official road so that you can quickly return to Chang'an.

The soldiers untied their reins, led a horse, and then stepped on another fast horse, and quickly left.

It was three days later when the Chang'an court learned that Changling Pass in the southern border had fallen.

Emperor Jing Yuan was furious and quickly sent the prince Chen Yan to support southern Xinjiang with 300,000 cavalry.

After hearing the news, a ominous premonition vaguely arose in Song Cheng's heart.

He twisted his fingers and deduced it quickly, and his face suddenly changed.
