Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Cloud City.

City Lord's Mansion.

"Damn it, what's going on? Why are there Turks in this location?"

"Damn, damn!!"

Li Ji's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the urgent report coming from the front, completely lost in disbelief.

This location is the weakest defended spot in the entire northern border.

Moreover, this location is just dozens of kilometers behind the two heavily-trooped border fortresses.

Generally speaking, as long as one is not mentally ill, one would never dare to play this position.

After all, the risk is too great.

If they advance too deep and their retreat is cut off by the cavalry from the two border garrisons, the entire army will be destroyed.

Therefore, Li Ji did not deploy too many troops here.

Yes… … .
Who could have thought that the Turks would actually launch a surprise attack on this place!

"General, it may be a coincidence that the Turks came here. However, regardless of whether it is a coincidence or not, the Turks will definitely move south this year."

"Let's fight."

The deputy general shouted.
.
……..………….
Li Ji frowned.

coincidence?

Is this really a coincidence?!
grandma's.

With the Turkic brain, would it be a coincidence to be in such a place? !
But the Turks had no way of knowing that the defense here was weak.

Only the City Lord's Mansion and Chang'an know about the entire northern border defense.

That's just a coincidence.

hiss…….
Li Ji took a deep breath.

"Fight! But, focus on defense and cooperate with the counterattack!"

"Let's take a look at the Turks first. What are they going to do? Don't worry. There are so many Turkic tribes that it's not smooth to mobilize them. Let's first find out what their intentions are this time."

Li Ji shouted.

After receiving the order, the deputy general hurried down to pass on the message.

Li Ji sat in front of the sand table.

Looking at the battle chart between the enemy and us.

Mind, running it like crazy.

However, he wasn't too worried.

After all, over the past few years, the Tang Dynasty has worked hard to build an extremely solid line of defense in the northern border.

The Turks are just dreaming of breaking through!!

As long as the Tang Dynasty defends the checkpoints and cities, the Turks will not be able to break through and cause substantial damage to the Tang Dynasty!

But it is still somewhat unexpected that the Turks have now directly launched a war.

After all, how long has it been since Jie Li Lang Ya returned?

Li Ji took a deep breath.

Start deploying troops.

However, the direction and speed of the subsequent development of the situation completely plunged Li Ji into despair.

Turkic royal court.

Jie Li Lang Ya was covered in blood.

But there was great excitement on his face.

Today, he was right between those five hundred cavalrymen, just short of the weakest point of the Tang Dynasty. After a round of slaughter, the Tang army had almost no defense left.

They even penetrated a short distance.

The heart-wrenching cries of the Tang people living nearby sounded like the most pleasant natural sounds to his ears.

heard it!
seen!
Found that feeling again!!
Chang'an!

Attack Chang'an!
I must snatch the concubine of the Tang Dynasty and let everyone in the world know and experience the horror of my Turkic cavalry!
"Father!"

"I am back!"

"Really, it's all true, this border map is all true, hahahaha... Father, let's get started, keep going, send out the troops!!"

"This time, let us bury the so-called Central Plains with our own hands!"

Jie Li Lang Ya rushed into the big tent with a loud voice, like a large copper and aluminum bell.

Jie Li Khan looked at the excited Jie Li Lang Ya and the generals behind him, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Go, go now! Send a message to other tribes and ask their leaders to come to the royal court!"

"Hahahaha... Tang Dynasty, this time, I, Jie Li Khan, will definitely conquer Chang'an! I will seal the wolf in Chang'an, hahahaha..."

Jieli Khan shouted.

His roar echoed throughout the royal court.

fanaticism!

excited!

Incomparable and exciting!
Immediately, someone went down to notify us.

Soon, Tuli Khan, Shiwei Khan, Tiele Khan...
The leaders of all the major tribes have arrived.

At the same time, they also brought the armies of their major tribes.

Flags are waving!

Stretching for thousands of miles!

Terror in the world!
Dark clouds are overwhelming!

"Everyone, we meet again. This is the border defense map of the Tang Dynasty. I have arranged the location of your tribe. Everything is going according to plan!"

"Yesterday, I sent people to test the authenticity of this border map. It is real!"

"See you in Chang'an!"

Jie Li Khan shouted.

Called them all to the front of the sand table.

Above, all the attack routes have been drawn.

Each and every one of them is extremely clear.

"This... border defense map? Of the northern border of the Tang Dynasty? Hahaha... God is really helping me!"

"It seems that this time, we really have to meet in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty!"

"There is no time to lose, start attacking now!"

The Khans of all the major tribes roared madly.

They are crazy!

Really crazy!
They even had a map of the Tang Dynasty's border defenses. If God was really helping them, then attacking the Tang Dynasty would be as easy as taking candy from a sack.

The Turkic royal court was crowded with people.

The Turkic cavalry that had just gathered together separated again.

Each tribe began to attack in its own direction.

Jie Li Khan and Tuli Khan looked at the movement of the army, and their brows became extremely excited.

"By the way, Khan, how should we arrange things in Liang State?"

Tuli Khan asked.

Jie Li Khan snorted coldly and said, "Let those cowardly creatures follow my Turkic army at will. Liang Shidu, don't underestimate his ability to steal."

"Perhaps, not making any arrangements for them is the best arrangement. He will give us a surprise."

Tuli Khan nodded heavily.

He quickly called for a messenger and asked him to head straight to Liangcheng.

Throughout the northern border, the wind began to howl.

“This year, it seems to be a little colder than usual.”

Jie Li Khan looked up at the sun which was covered by dark clouds.

"That's perfect, Khan. We can go to the Tang Dynasty to spend the winter. Hahaha..."

"You won't feel cold lying in the arms of Empress Changsun and other concubines."

Tuli Khan shouted.

A greedy smile also appeared on Jie Li Khan's face.

…..…….……….
Yicheng Pass.

This is a checkpoint on the Tang Dynasty’s northern border defense line.

On the high observation tower, four Tang Dynasty soldiers were patrolling idly.

This place was as peaceful as usual. "Have you heard? The day before yesterday, the Black Water Checkpoint was breached by the Turks. Countless people there were killed and injured. The Turks are about to start causing trouble again."

A soldier holding a bow and arrow leaned against the pillar of the watchtower and said.

"I've heard that too. Let's just say that the Turks are just too lucky. There are fortresses on both sides of the Black Water Pass, with heavy troops stationed there. If they're not careful, they'll be surrounded like dumplings."

"Damn it, I never thought they would dare to break through the Black Water Pass."

A sturdy veteran said this with some disbelief.

"Who said it wasn't true? I heard that the beacon fire at Heishui Pass was rushed by the Turks before it could even be lit."

"When the reinforcements arrived, the Turks had already disappeared. When winter comes, these damn beasts can't sit still!!"

said another.

"Who says it's not true? However, they still want to go south. It's just a dream."

"Don't think you're lucky. You made it through the Black Water Pass. If you had found a tough guy, you would have been gone long ago."

"The strength of our defense is still very impressive. After all these years of preparation, we will never give the Turks another chance."

The old soldier said in a deep voice.

"That's right. Look at our Yicheng Pass. Although there are not many garrisons, there are heavy troops stationed in the east, west, south and north."

"They, the Turks, would never dare to attack here."

"We have found a good job this year. I will be discharged from the army and go home in the spring of next year."

"When the time comes, I'll farm a few acres of good land and marry a wife, hehehe..."

The Tang Dynasty soldier holding the bow and arrow scratched his head with great anticipation.

"really."

The old soldier nodded and said, "That's quite true."

"Our place is peaceful! Even if the fighting outside gets fierce, it probably won't affect us."

"With General Li Ji in charge of the Northern Frontier, there will be no chaos!"

"Don't even think about going south, Turks!"

As the old soldier spoke, he stretched lazily.

None of them took the Turks seriously.

The Turks are indeed powerful, and although they were lucky and took advantage of an opportunity in the past few days, fighting a war is not a matter of luck.

They have great confidence in the Tang Dynasty's defense line.

The four of them chatted idly.

But suddenly.

Among the four, the usually taciturn and slightly thin young man suddenly had a flash of eyes.

Then he rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Looked from a distance.

"What is that...?"

"It seems like there are black spots moving quickly. Oh, could they be Turks?"

He screamed.

"Turks? Bullshit, how is that possible? How could the Turks bypass the fortress in front of us and attack us?!"

"That's right, kid, your eyes have become blurry after not being used for a long time, huh?!"

"Don't talk nonsense. The Turks didn't attack other places, so why did they attack us? How could they dare? We have always advertised that we are a big checkpoint with countless defenders. The Turks will definitely not be stupid enough to come and attack us!"

The three of them didn't believe it and shook their heads. Someone reached out his hand, and Jun Qing slapped the young man on the back of the head.

“But…but…”

"Really... they are Turks!!"

"The Turks are coming! The Turks are coming!!"

"......."

At this time, the young man paused for a few breaths, but then he roared out.

As soon as he said this, the other three people shuddered, stood up quickly and looked forward.

as predicted!

The black spot has turned into the size of a bee.

Between heaven and earth, there was a deafening sound of horse hooves, like the sound of a landslide, sweeping over and making the whole world boil.

"Damn it, they are really Turks, why are they here?!"

"Light the fire, light the fire, hurry up and light the beacon!!!"

"I'm going to fight these damn bastards with them!!"

"Let's fight! Retreat now! Our forces here are too weak to stop the Turkish cavalry!"

"The beacon fire has been lit. It won't be long before someone comes to support us. Let's retreat first!!"

"......."

The beacon was lit, like a giant pillar, rushing straight into the sky.

The four men retreated from the watchtower in panic, and the gongs in their hands were about to be broken.

The sound was deafening.

All the soldiers were awakened.

They rocked!

They were surprised!

I have no idea why the Turks dared to attack here!!
However, just as they were distracted, the Turkic cavalry had already surged up like a flood, and the Tang army, which was hastily fighting, was no match at all.

A scream!
A burst of laughter!
At this moment, the entire northern border of the Tang Dynasty was lit up with beacons one after another.

Connect into lines.

It’s like… the end of the world!!
….…….……….
Yunzhou City.

Li Ji is crazy.

He is really going crazy.

The sudden appearance of the Turks and their speed of action were completely unexpected. By the time he received the news, the Turks had already arrived at the border of the Tang Dynasty.

but…….
That’s nothing!
The most fatal thing was that the Turks seemed to have opened their third eye, and all their attacks were directed at the weakest points of the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, even though he had the potential to be a god of war, he was still a little panicked!
how could it be possible?
The border defense that the Tang Dynasty had spent years and years building with great effort had completely become a piece of paper, a piece of paper that would rot if poked by someone.

damn it!
"Report... General Li, Yicheng Pass has been breached!"

"Report... General Li, Qingwa Pass has been breached!"

"......."

"Report... General, General, the Turkic cavalry has already rushed in from places like Yicheng Pass and Qingwa. All our fortresses outside have been split into isolated islands and cannot rush out for the time being."

"Report... General, the Turkic army is attacking Yunzhou City!!"

"......."

News from the front came in like pieces of paper.

Every time Li Ji heard a word, his heart would grow colder and his expression would grow more distorted.

He quickly ordered the closure of the gates of Yunzhou City and the defense of the city. He also tried to dispatch other troops to try to break through the Turkic divide, welcome back the Tang troops in the major fortresses, and help them break out.

But it's too difficult.

The hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops were like a plague of locusts.

Densely and firmly, he used his mouth to pierce Datang's skin fiercely.

Yunzhou City is in chaos!

At the same time, a group of scouts with blood-red flags behind them rushed straight towards Chang'an.

too fast!
What is happening in Northern Xinjiang is happening too fast!
All of this made Datang have no reaction at all!!

….….………….
Changan.

In front of Mingde Gate, the caravan queuing to enter the city formed a long queue.

The people coming in and out were extremely frequent.

Inside and outside the city wall gate, various vendors were shouting, and the whole Chang'an was bustling with activity.

At this moment, a war horse rushed towards them.

"Get out of the way! Urgent news from Northern Frontier!!"

"Anyone who stands in my way will be killed without mercy!!!"

“Da da da…”

The warhorse did not stop and rushed straight in.
