Chapter 339 The Wolf from the East
Fucheng City.

This royal city located on the grassland has a vast territory.The construction of the inner and outer city, coupled with the special geographical location, is divided into the inner city and the outer city.

Imitating the appearance of the Tang Dynasty, the people living in the inner city are all princes and nobles, with the purest blood in the wasteland.In the outer city, there are mostly rich and noble people who appreciate these rough buildings, or merchants who have settled down again.

The news on the oasis has already spread throughout the city, but most people find it hard to believe such a fact.

How could anyone break through the blockade of the army and go deep into the wilderness alone?

What's even more ridiculous is that there are only a hundred people in this tribe?Not to mention whether such soldiers can reach the royal city, even the vast sea of ​​sand around here can make people get lost in it, dying of thirst and starvation!
In the entire city, the timid figures had already left, leaving only some pilgrims and merchants who were still chatting and laughing, listening to Tang Qi's incident as a fairy tale.

Until this day, after years of disappearance, soldiers wearing chain mail and yellow tassels flooded the streets again and hurried up the city, only then did everyone realize that something was wrong.

The crowd in the whole city looked panic-stricken, and the merchants who were busy buying furs of various ethnic groups in the past seemed to be no longer active. They hurriedly packed their bags and began to move to further places.There are hurried figures coming and going, and there are whispering voices between the gatherings.

Although they couldn't understand the meaning of these awkward words in their mouths, they could still hear words like 'Da Tang' and 'Tang Qi'.

"...It seems that the escaped Wuman did not lie to us. The news about the Tang Qi in the wilderness must be true. Judging from this posture, I am afraid that a real fight will start..."

"The wilderness tribes are far apart, and the information between each other is not as good as the frontier... I don't know where Tang Qi is now..."

"... This Tang Dynasty has been cultivating health and rest for so many years, and rarely uses troops abroad... I am afraid that Khan really annoyed them this time..."

"Look at this posture, even General Wu Tan, who is rarely encountered in contact days, is also in military uniform. It seems that this matter is not trivial, and I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle..."

"...Don't look any further, pack your bags quickly, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave if you're outside..."

In the small words, because of these soldiers interspersed in the city, the entire outer city became panicked.

An old man in a bright fur fur, with the young and old in his family, pulled the cart full of household supplies and food out of the city gate.Some merchants were in a hurry to leave, and the concubines who were raised here begged to take them away with their calves in their arms, but they were kicked to the ground, swearing incomprehensible words, and hurried into the carriage.

Some of the surrounding people also heard the news of the siege, set off in a hurry, and lived a life of ups and downs.

"It's finally here."

Standing on the city wall built of rammed earth, Wu Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the goshawk with folded wings and fluttering in the distant sky, and spoke lightly.

"Pass down the order to let the soldiers defend the city wall, and after three days, the army will arrive."

The veteran beside him, with a slightly startled look on his old face, approached the figure and lowered his voice.

"General Wu Tan, the soldiers reported earlier that the front line was defeated and the battle is still going on."

"The way to Kushan is far away, even if you drive day and night, it is difficult to reach... This is not..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Tan who was beside him.

"That's right, even if it takes seven days, the army will not arrive."

"Give hope to the soldiers on the city wall, at least they can recover some fighting spirit from Tang Qi's fear."

As soon as the words were finished, the scouts rushed to the top of the city and handed over a letter of Tang Qijun's route that had been sorted out in the past few days, which only made Wu Tan's scalp tingle!

On the first day of March, a hundred knights of the Tang Dynasty struck the head of the border city with lightning from the sky, and 35 tiger knights died on the spot, bloody and bloody.

On the fifth day of March, the first Tuheng tribe was destroyed, more than a hundred men and women were slaughtered, the tribe was looted, and women, children and children fled in all directions.

On the seventh day of March, the fugitive people were captured by the Xiqiang clan. Hundreds of riders headed west all the way. Tu Jing's two departure caravans suffered an accident.

On the [-]th, the Baiqi of the Tang Dynasty turned to the north, slaughtered more than [-] people from the Chieftain tribe, and kidnapped [-] war horses. The land collapsed, and the surrounding Qi Heng, Mo Heng and other four related tribes fell together.

On the [-]th, the Tangqi tribe, which had disappeared for several days, suddenly appeared in the Kuojiapu clan. There were more than [-] people in the clan, and most of them were killed or injured. Wooden stakes….

Since then, the entire Tang cavalry team disappeared without a trace, and completely conquered the wilderness. When they found it again, the tiger cavalry chasing on the entire grassland had been caught by surprise.Then he merged with the Xiqiang branch and formed an army of 5000 people, heading south all the way to Wangcheng.

Reading the scrolls one after another in a hurry is like a hammer hitting every general's heart. It feels like hitting a scroll before finishing reading, which only makes people's hearts jump.

The voice was put down with the last scroll, shock, astonishment, and disbelief were written all over the faces of the surrounding generals.

Everyone stood there in a daze, staring at the kraft paper roll handed over from the scout.

a long time.

A general looked at Wu Tan who was trembling slightly while holding the scroll, and spoke with difficulty.

"Could it be that these Tang riders are made of iron men? They curl up on their horses all day long and never get off the ground?"

"The speed is unbelievable."

Someone frowned, with a serious look on his face, and murmured words with light lips.

"Our barren people have always been in a formation where all the people are soldiers. Let alone equestrian riding and shooting, everyone is at their fingertips. Even if these people and horses charge together, the vast formation formed is enough to shock many soldiers. This... ...these hundred riders..."

Slowly tightening his fingers, he tightly held a stack of paper rolls in his palm, Wu Tan's face was as dark as charcoal, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and squeezed out words from between his teeth.

"There's a saying in the Tang Dynasty called being brave and not afraid of death, maybe it's just like these Tang cavalry."

"It was we who underestimated the soldiers who stood out from the army at the beginning, causing these soldiers to wreak havoc on the wasteland as if they had entered no one's land."

"I still don't know how this Tang Qi team trained to look like this, but I do know one thing."

Turning around slowly, Wu Tan's face was solemn, and he spoke every word.

"Compared to the number of people in this battle, we still have more than [-] soldiers except for the scouts who are still notifying all ethnic groups, but we still can't take it lightly."

He bowed respectfully to the generals standing all around him, and spoke firmly.

"Facing the battle calmly, this time I hope to hold the last line of defense."

The previous pride was no longer mentioned, and everyone was more silent, saluting without saying a word was regarded as a return, and instead, the generals walked silently to their respective positions, and then the heavy words resounded in every city. corner.

The entire royal city also became panicked in these words.
