In the beginning, I set up a street stall in Datang

Chapter 54 It's time to fulfill the oath (for collection)
The rain is getting heavier.

But the downpour couldn't wash away the blood all over the ground.

It was as if God felt sad for this group of soldiers who fell asleep and never woke up again.

After a while, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty set up their tents to cover the downpour for Shen Lang and others.

Heavy rain fell to the ground, and the rainwater gathered into a river, which was instantly dyed red by the blood all over the ground.

It rained non-stop and the blood flowed non-stop.

Yesterday they were still drinking and chatting on the city wall, telling nasty jokes.

But at this time, Yin and Yang are separated.

All the defenders of Dingzhou were killed.

All the people in Dingzhou, men, women, old and young, all died in battle.

The number of three thousand Baimayi has been less than a hundred since the war.

The battle was fierce and Dingzhou was tragic.

beyond words!
They used their own flesh and blood to forge the iron bones of the Han family!
No one remembers what they looked like.

No one remembers their names.

They will not be recorded in the history books.

But for this hot land, they shed their hot blood and sacrificed their flesh and blood!
Forged a soul-stirring myth!

Their name is Dingzhou!

……

In a daze, Shen Lang seemed to have come to the city wall of Dingzhou again.

He stared at this frontier city and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Because he saw the curling smoke, Dingzhou was peaceful.

Because he saw the lights of thousands of houses, Dingzhou laughed and laughed.

He seems to have seen the Dingzhou soldiers who vowed to die.

He seemed to see the man in Dingzhou who would rather die than surrender.

He seemed to see the heroine who went to battle to kill the enemy.

Those familiar and unfamiliar faces kept smiling at him.

"General, go home and rest."

"General, come to my house to drink a glass of strong wine to warm up your body."

"General, whatever food you like to eat, I will cook it for you."

"..."

Hearing their extremely sincere invitation, Shen Lang immediately showed a happy smile.

He felt the warmth of home!
At this moment, he felt like he was coming home.

But this beautiful fantasy will eventually turn into a bubble.

When he opened his eyes again, tears were already streaming down his face.

The corpses piled up like a mountain and the blood flowing wantonly are like purgatory on earth.

Endless desolation!

"General, you are awake."

A white horse Yi Cong next to him said to Shen Lang extremely worriedly.

"Is everyone awake?"

After speaking, Shen Lang turned his head and looked around.

Baima Yicong, who had less than a hundred people left, also woke up one after another.

Some of them are exercising their muscles.

Some are dealing with wounds on their own bodies.

Some lay quietly in a pool of blood, unable to wake up again.

……

The rain stopped, but the sky was still full of dark clouds.

There is no rainbow after the rain, let alone the fragrance of the soil after the rain.

There were only mountains of corpses and the strong smell of blood.

"Call everyone to rise up and fulfill our oath."

"The living, collect the corpses of the dead."

Shen Lang choked up and said.

"General, some brothers may never wake up again."

The leader Bai Ma Yicong said in a hoarse voice.

Then two tears of blood flowed.

A bad premonition surged from the bottom of Shen Lang's heart in an instant.

"What happened to them?"

Shen Lang asked anxiously.

"Maybe they are really tired, maybe they are homesick, maybe they want to be lazy and wait for us in another world"

Bai Ma Yi broke down in tears as soon as he spoke.

Shen Lang's body shook violently, and he fell hard into a pool of blood.

A boundless desolation instantly surrounded him.

The soreness in his heart made his eyes blurred even more.

"Ha ha!"

He immediately raised his head and laughed.

Just smiling, two tears of blood scratched his originally delicate and handsome face.

"Since the moment we set foot on this battlefield, haven't we been waiting for this day?"

Shen Lang said incomparably bitterly.

It's just that the bitterness made him feel dizzy and hard to swallow!
The sadness that had been suppressed by him for a long time surged up in an instant, and blood burst out of his throat.

"General!"

"General!"

Bai Ma Yicong, who was around, quickly supported Shen Lang's shaky body and roared with great worry.

"They are really tired, and they should take a good rest."

"Find them a good home, build a decent house, and let them rest!"

After speaking, Shen Lang stood up slowly with the support of everyone.

The living collect the corpses of the dead.

This is their last agreement.

Under the leadership of Shen Lang, Baima Yicong, who had less than a hundred people left, slowly came to the hillside not far away.

It is not far from Dingzhou, and with the help of the terrain, you can overlook the entire Dingzhou city.

The city they guarded with their lives is right now, and they should like this new home very much.

……

At this time, there was continuous heavy rain in Chang'an City.

The continuous rain curtain seems to be telling the endless desolation of the frontier.

The palace, inside the Ganlu Hall.

Li Er was helpless.

It has been more than half a month since the last frontier battle report.

Jieli Khan led [-] Turkic cavalry to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty. Is the frontier still there?

But no news came from Youzhou.

It has been more than half a month since Princess Pingyang and Li Jing supported Youzhou, why is there no news at all?
Did they all suffer accidents too?

If the frontier is lost, the Turkic cavalry can drive straight in, and they can approach the city of Chang'an in a short time.

At that time, the Central Plains will burn people's lives and blood will not stop.

"Now there is no news from the frontier, do you want me to wait here in the Golden Palace?"

Li Erqiang held back the anger in his heart and asked.

"Your Majesty, counting the time, Princess Pingyang and Li Jing have already arrived in Youzhou. There is no news now, isn't it the best news?"

Fang Xuanling comforted from the side.

"I don't know if Princess Pingyang and the others can help Chai Shao defend Youzhou."

Li Er sighed and said rather helplessly.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we'd better gather our troops quickly and make preparations early. After all, Youzhou is far away from Chang'an. By the time the battle report is sent to Chang'an, the frontier may have already undergone earth-shaking changes. "

Yuchi Jingde gave Fang Xuanling a hard look, and said with a sneer.

This group of generals was naturally very displeased with the peace negotiation faction headed by Fang Xuanling.

Turkic cavalry invaded our borders, and they used women to negotiate peace at every turn. What kind of skill is this?
"Don't Duke E believe in me, the first female general of the Tang Dynasty and the first God of War in the Tang Dynasty?"

Du Ruhui immediately questioned Yuchi Jingde.

"Old man, go to the frontier if you have the ability!"

Cheng Yaojin replied immediately.

Just as the two were fighting each other, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside.

"Urgent report! Youzhou urgent report!"

As the voice sounded, everyone could not help but look sideways.

"What happened to the frontier?"

Li Er asked impatiently.

"Youzhou was recaptured, and the Turkic forward general was beheaded!"

After the scout finished speaking, he collapsed on the hall from exhaustion.
