"That's right. You are the orphan of the Sun Chaser Sect! Ten years ago, your parents tried their best and failed to capture the Canqing Sword that fell from the sky. They were chased and killed by Wuming crazily, and the whole village was killed. Before they died, they entrusted you to Tianzi Lingling Yiyelang, and I am your cousin." The elder's eyes were clear, but the lingering pain was clearly revealed.

"You..." Ning Wu wanted to say something, but suddenly the elder's figure trembled, "Uh!" He even spit out blood.

"Are... are you okay?" Ning Wu wanted to step forward to help, but he was helpless in the face of the endless river flow, he did not know how to do light work.

After the elder coughed, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued to smile wryly, "It's nothing, Mi Gu and Jun Tianjun almost died in the battle."

Ning Wu was attracted by the three words "Tianzi Peak", he quickly asked, "Can you tell me all the truth and... my life experience?"

"Yes, but there is a condition." The elder took out an iron token from his bosom, reflecting the moonlight, the word "Heaven" was faintly visible.

"What conditions?"

"From now on, you will succeed the Skywalker of the Day-by-Day Sect and Yinyuanhui Tianzi Linglingyi." The elder's gaze was affirmative.

"What! I..." Ning Wu hesitated immediately, what he understood today was completely beyond his imagination.

"Cough...uh..." Skywalker coughed violently again, "My child...my time is running out."

After a long time, Ning Wu said slowly, "...give me some time to think about it."

During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty announced the call for troops to Luoyang for military competitions while setting up the Xuanjian Stage, which is known as the "No. [-] Sword Stage in the World".In this duel, the five ace troops in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty were produced, namely: Tiance, Yanmen, Cangyue, Imperial Guards, and Taxue.

The Tiance Army was established during the reign of Emperor Taizong, known as the "Wolf in the Eastern Capital", and ranked first in this battle. It is comprehensively evaluated that the Tiance Army is good at cavalry raids, plain battles, and street battles.

The Snow-Treading Army was established in the 13th year of Tianbao, and was actually secretly formed in the [-]th year of Tianbao. It was the Fengyang garrison of Bailongkou. In this battle, Xuanzong conferred the title of "Snowstorm Wolf".This battle ranked second, and the comprehensive evaluation of the snow troopers is good at snow combat and water combat.

The Yanmen Army is actually a branch of the Yanmen Gate Guard Army, also known as Guo Ziyi's "Guo Family Army", and it ranks third in this battle.According to the comprehensive evaluation, the Yanmen Army is good at desert combat, cavalry raid and city defense.

Cangyue Army was established in Cangyue Pass in the 23rd year of Kaiyuan. It is a branch of Shence Jianmen Pass Army. The real development was started by Fengyang Wang Li Yanyi.This battle ranked fourth, and the Cang Yue Army was comprehensively judged to be good at moon battles, sneak attack battles, mountain battles, and city defense.

As for why future generations keep silent about the two armies of Treading Xue and Cang Yue, it stems from the catastrophe that happened in Tianbao in 14 years...

——"Unofficial History Anshi Rebellion"

In the autumn of the 14th year of Tianbao, the garrison at Yanmen Pass received a letter from Fan Yang: Fan Yang was attacked by the Khitan, General An Lushan guarded Fanyang Langya Fort, and General Shi Siming chased the poor to the desert and fell into ambush in the desert. His life and death are unknown.Please send troops to Yanmen Pass for emergency support.

Dressed in jet-black battle armor, wearing a black gold battle helmet, and a three-foot-long black horseback with a white mane and black skin, this is the Iron Armored Yanmen Cavalry.The majestic pass of Yanmen Pass was opened, and thousands of pitch-black flags were pulled up. The flags had black background and white characters, and the words "eldest grandson" in Xingkai were all written on them.Billowing yellow dust filled the Yanmen Pass. The three thousand cavalry teams of the Second Yanmen Iron Cavalry Corps were led by the deputy commander Zou Ling, and all the six thousand cavalry teams of the Third Army Corps were led by the commander Qian Jiangxue. Fan Yang Department of Tang Army.

It was autumn, and a few bald eagles were hovering at the entrance of the desert, screaming desperately at the Yanmen cavalry.

"The eagle is neighing, General Qian, this is not a good omen." General Zou Ling showed a look of disgust on his face.

"Autumn, for the Hu people, is the hunting season. These vultures are no exception." Qianjiang Xuelong's head helmet revealed the inherent calmness of an Iron Lady general.

The Yanmen iron cavalry had arrived in the desert shown by Fan Yang's guide of the Tang army, but they didn't even see half of the Tang army or Khitan soldiers. "Guide, what's going on?" General Zou Ling was a little restless at the moment, always feeling that something big was about to happen, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.It was the first time I led an army to leave Yanmen Pass and came to this barren desert, and I was still uneasy.

"What on earth is An Lushan planning, tell me!" Qian Jiangxue's sword was drawn out of its sheath, and the point of the sword pointed straight at the guide's throat.

"Your Excellency, General." The guide saluted gracefully, without being nervous at all. He smiled slightly, took off the Tang Army helmet, his long silver hair fluttered down, and a round of black moon hung high on his forehead. "This junior is not only a guide person, and extraditable person at the same time.”

"Yin... crossing?!" Zou Ling pressed his sword suddenly, and the veins on his forehead popped up, "Yi... What crossing!?"

"Huang Quan, extradition." The silver-haired man flipped backwards in an instant, Qian Jiangxue had no time to stab the sword down, and the two were already ten steps away.

A gust of sand blew past, and the earth and the desert seemed to be trembling. At this moment, the Yanmen cavalry suddenly discovered that Fan Yang's army in brown uniforms had already surrounded them!

The yellow sand was lifted, and the brown-yellow soldiers stood up from under the sand sea in unison. At the same time, they also stood up sharp arrows and longbows illuminated by the scorching sun.

"Shield Array!" Under Qian Jiangxue's urgent order, three large jet-black banners were erected, with dark green basalt embroidered on the jet-black background, and the word "Guo" in white.

"Hohohoho." Almost at the moment when the flag was raised, all the Yanmen cavalrymen took down the black iron shields hanging from the horses' backs, and all the cavalrymen formed a circular formation, raising their shields to meet the arrows.

"Swish, swish!" The sound of arrow feathers piercing the air came from all directions, but under the protection of the iron shield, only a very small number of people were shot, and the few Yanmen cavalry fell off their horses and rolled on the ground.

"The Chinese army is flying geese, shield formation on both wings! Go south, break through!" Immediately, Qian Jiangxue decided to break out immediately. The sand and dust environment is not good for cavalry for a long time. It is a good strategy to withdraw quickly to Yanmen Pass.

A large flag was lowered, and at the same time, a large flag with a purple-red Suzaku embroidered on a pitch-black background and the word "Guo" in white was raised.At this time, the Yanmen cavalry formed for two and a half months, and the cavalry in the middle quickly dispersed, rushing to the south in a large formation of geese.In an instant, yellow dust billowed, sand and rocks flew, and the jet-black Yanmen cavalry roared and rushed towards Fan Yang's army who were still shooting arrows.

"Hiss!" Suddenly, the first horse fell to the ground, and the cavalry was thrown a few steps away.Then, one after another, the cavalry fell down. Unexpectedly, there were horse traps under the yellow sand!Qian Jiangxue was shocked. Looking back, the "guide" must have deliberately bypassed this place when leading the way, so they didn't find out.

The Yanmen army roared and galloped, and the sudden horse trap caught them by surprise, and they were in chaos for a while.

However, the Yanmenguan garrison fought in the north all the year round, and attacked the Turkic Khitan several times in the north. They were extremely good at fighting in the desert and sand. Dozens of ropes were thrown to the soldiers trapped in the bunker, and at the same time, they worked in pairs, one pulling the rope and the other holding the shield.

"The fish scales on the right wing, after the left wing is broken, the Chinese army's shield formation, break out to the west!" The Suzaku flag was lowered and the "Guo" flag embroidered with dark green dragons was raised, and the Yanmen cavalry with iron will raised the refined iron Tang sword , neatly like a black tide, quickly tore a hole in the western Fan Yangjun.

Suddenly, the sky where the shadow of the sun hung high turned dark, and a bright red flashed in front of the vanguard of the Yanmen Cavalry at the speed of light, and then it went black!Through the iron armor mask, Qian Jiangxue saw that there were no scars on the corpses, except for a small bloody mouth between the neck arteries.The red whirlwind cut all the ropes in an instant, and a hundred soldiers struggled in the quicksand and could not escape.

Unexpectedly, 34 dancing girls in blood-red clothes and holding umbrellas descended from the sky.The woman half-kneeling in front of the 34 dancers was dressed in white clothes and white hair, with a round of snow-moon accessories hanging on her forehead. Her snow-white complexion, reddish thin lips, and dark blue eyes made everyone shudder!

In the 14th year of Tianbao, Anlu Mountain and the three major military towns alone controlled 15 troops and supported the frontiers. His men were brave and good at fighting, and they were even favored by Xuanzong, which attracted the envy of Prime Minister Yang Guozhong.As a result, the two turned against each other, and Tang Xuanzong did not interfere with it.An Lushan has long cherished different ambitions and has a heavy army in his hands, so he raises troops in the name of beating Yang.Half of the Yanmenguan Third Army and Second Army were lured into the desert and wiped out. Generals Qian Jiangxue and Zou Ling died in battle.As the Fan Yang rebels went south in many ways, the defenders of Yanmen Pass had to withdraw into the pass under the leadership of Guo Tianzong, and Guo Ziyi led Guo's army out of Jianmen Pass to merge with the remnants of Yanmen Pass.In order to avenge the ambush in the desert, all the Yanmen iron cavalry were wrapped in white clothes, and the iron armor was covered with linen and mourning, and they were renamed "Xuanjia Cangyun".

The outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion had long been expected by Yang Guozhong and Li Yinshang, but they never expected that [-] of the [-] cavalry at Yanmen Pass would be wiped out by the rebels a hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass within three days.

Ling Xuege's last assassination failed two years ago, and everything about Fan Yang was completely dark.In order to contain the rebels, Yang Guozhong issued an order to Lingxuege and Li Yinshang: stick to Yanmen Pass.Li Yinshang had just fully recovered from his injuries, and it took only a few months. Without hesitation, Li Yinshang led his troops to the front line in Qizuo, Fengyang.

In December of the 14th year of Tianbao, the imperial court ordered Li Yinshang to lead the Cangyue Legion to garrison Longyou.

Luoyang has a natural strategy, and defense is not a problem. As long as the Yanmen Gate is not broken, the rebels will not be able to go south from Longyou.Since Cangyue Pass, the undercurrent of Yinyuanhui seems to have disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and the assassination of Lingxue Pavilion has also stopped. The Cangyue Legion of Li Yin's Injury Department already has 600 elite soldiers, and the Snow-Treading Legion has [-] people. Li Yinshang and Gu Qingshu led the Cangyue Army to Tongguan, ordered Mu Qingze to lead the Snow-Treading Army to station in Taiyuan, and Ning Wu Shiyun took the prime minister's order to go to Yanmen Pass to defend together.

The city wall of Yanmen Pass is seven meters high. When Ning Wu and Shi Yun walked up the city wall, they found that the Yanmen defenders who used to be dressed in black armor were now dressed in plain armor, as if they were an army in mourning.Most of the Yanmen Pass was withdrawn to the south, leaving less than 2000 Yanmen troops who could not leave this pass.

Of course, the main reason is that Qian Jiangxue and Zou Ling were killed in battle, [-] troops wiped out the desert, and the rebels had already approached the city.

Ning Wu was wearing the azure blue Cangyue military uniform at the moment, rubbing his chin with his right hand, his eyes narrowed into a line, and looked at the rebel attacking lineup with some sly eyes.

"General Wu... Ning, the rebel army is powerful, how can we defend it?" Shi Yun from Tangjiabao is still the commander of the Shenji Battalion of the Snow-Treading Legion, and the only mercenary battalion of the Snow-Treading Legion, with a total of 300 people. Standing on the east wall are all mercenaries from the Treading Snow Shenji Battalion.Shi Yun raised her crossbow from time to time to check the distance of the rebels.

Ning Wu raised his hand, as if denying Shi Yun's statement, "It's not about defending, but how long to defend. According to the art of war, Luoyang has no danger to defend. Gao Xianzhi must retreat to Fenghua Valley. After Luoyang falls, there is no need to defend here. "

Ning Wu and Li Yinshang knew very well that the rebels must cross Mangshan Mountain and attack Luoyang. The rebels believed that as long as Tiance was defeated, they could directly attack Chang'an.So the main direction of attack is not here.And from the moment Yanmenguan fell in Luoyang, it lost its defensive meaning.Of course, the most important point is how to use these 2000 people as much as possible to hold back the rebels until Luoyang is captured.

At noon, the rebel army attacked the city, and their morale was high. The three hundred disciples of the Tang Sect in the Shenji Battalion held up the thousand receivers, and all their arrows were fired.

"You must shoot the sharpshooter at Yanmen Pass first!" Someone in the rebel army immediately noticed the clue, and immediately there were more than [-] archers among the [-] invading rebels.

"Shield!" Immediately, nearly [-] Yanmen troops wandering on the city wall held up black shields to protect the Shenji Battalion.

"Shi Yun!" Ning Wu picked up a black shield and ran towards Shi Yun. Shi Yun put down the thousand receivers, and was pulled up by Ning Wu in astonishment, "Go, go to the top of the beacon tower in the middle, where the enemy's command You can see it clearly!" Ning Wu used his shield to protect Shi Yun's body with all his strength while speaking, and walked quickly on the city wall, where his finger was the highest point of Yanmen Pass, which was also the place where the city wall protruded outward.

Panting heavily, Shi Yun and Ning Wu climbed up to the top of the Beacon Tower, and they had a clear vision. Shi Yun raised the thousand receivers, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

extreme distance.After Shi Yun took a visual inspection, he installed a heart-piercing arrow.

"Can you get the big wolf-toothed flag in the northwest?" Ning Wu frowned and looked down the city wall through the dense rain of arrows.

"Try it." Shi Yun couldn't be sure herself, the dark blue hand guard tightly grasped the handle of the thousand receivers, her left eye was closed, and her right eye was flickering.

"Whoosh" the arrow that breaks the cloud roars!However, the sound of piercing the sky came more than once.

"Crack!" The mace flag snapped instantly, but Ning Wu had no time to get excited, and found that an arrow had been nailed hard beside Shi Yun and himself, cutting a corner of Shi Yun's iron mask, and a small fragment fell to the ground , "Ding Ding" sound.

At this moment, a Tangjiabao disciple suddenly climbed up to the beacon tower, "General Ning, Senior Sister Tang, urgently report from Luoyang!"

The instant expression on Ning Wu's face can be described as rich, but it disappeared in an instant.

The central and rear urgently reported that Luoyang had fallen, and the entire Tiance Mansion was besieged.

On December 14, the 15th year of Tianbao, Luoyang fell.On the first day of the first month of the [-]th year of Tianbao, An Lushan ascended the throne in Luoyang, with the country name Dayan.

Ning Wu and Shi Yun led all 5000 members of the Snow-Treading Legion to stand at the entrance of Fenghua Valley at this moment. The flag fluttered in the air.They stood quietly until the red flag with the word "Heaven" appeared.

On the Luoyang Road of the beacon fire, the Tiance Army ran non-stop day and night, "Brothers, go!" Wen Qingyi, the captain of the Ninth Brigade of the Tiangong Battalion of the Tiance Army, who was wearing the red armor of the Tiance Army, led his troops along the outskirts of Luoyang at this moment. marching on the road.The wind and rain along the way also made the soldiers of the Tiance Army a little uneasy.

"Brothers from the Tiangong Battalion go first! After the trainee camp is closed here, you archers are all unarmed in hand-to-hand combat." Can Gun Gu Jingzhi waved his gun to signal his subordinates to follow, and then finished speaking , and led hundreds of Tiance trainee guards to turn back and go east.

Wen Qing saw the complaint and shouted, "Jingzhi, what are you going to do!"

Gu Jingzhi yelled from far away, "I, Gu Jingzhi, can't do it if General Yang cuts off the queen alone!"

When Wen Qingyi heard this, her heart felt sore, and she shouted vigorously, "Except for the first squad, the ninth brigade will follow Commander Li to break through!" After saying that, she picked up her longbow and followed Gu Jingzhi go.

Fortunately, when Tiance Mansion was heavily besieged, Li Chengen took advantage of Anlu Mountain's opportunity to lead his army to break out of the encirclement.Sure enough, in order to ensure the success of his enthronement, An Lushan defended Luoyang City with heavy troops. Li Chengen led most of Tiance's troops to quickly pass through Luoyang Road and stationed in Tongguan.

However, in the same month, the Tiance Mansion had run out of ammunition and food, leaving only the [-] dead soldiers of the Tianqiang Battalion and Tianqiang Yang Ning...

More than [-] Spike Army Anqingxu Department and Ashina Department launched a full-line attack on the second day of the first lunar month and broke through the east gate of Tiance Mansion. However, at this time, Mang Mountain in the north of Tiance, all over the mountains and plains, suddenly appeared the Snow Moon White Bow Banner, That was the Cang Yue Legion led by Li Yinshang!

On Beiman Mountain, "Report, the Tiance Army moved south from the rebel army a few months ago, and established three lines of defense inside and outside. Now the Pharmacist Temple and Tiance's north and south camps have been breached, leaving only the last inner city of Tiance Mansion." Scout flying cavalry To report, Li Yinshang just nodded slightly and remained silent.

Li Yinshang drew out his commanding sword and was about to issue an order when a dark blue shadow suddenly appeared from the forest, "My lord, the Tongguan army is forced to march before the fifth day of the lunar new year."

Li Yin's scalp went numb, "What are you talking about! Su Yanzhou, give me the map!" His tone was a little impulsive.

A map was opened, and Li Yinshang hurriedly scanned the situation in Hebei, "All Cang Yue Legion, follow me to attack Changshan. Messenger!"

A soldier came out, and Li Yinshang quickly said, "Go to the Changshan area to contact the Yan family army. We will attack Changshan and cut off the retreat of the rebels, and respond to Tiance and Tongguan!"

A gust of cold wind blew past, and Gu Qingshu's voice trembled a little, "Tiance's troops are already less than a thousand, and we are very close to Tiance Mansion...My lord?"

Li Yinshang paused slightly, took a deep breath and shouted, "Zhou Mochen, Su Yanzhou!"

Zhou Mochen, commander of the Mojian Battalion of the Cang Yue Army, immediately jumped off from the commanding heights where he was observing the Tiance Mansion, and knelt down on half his knees, "Mochen is here!" Su Yanzhou cupped his hands on the horse, "Yanzhou is here!"

"Yanzhou immediately led his army to the north, holding my Wang Yu, allied with Changshan Yan prefect, and captured Julu and Dingtao." Li Yinshang handed a red book to Su Yanzhou. "The king stayed here for three days, and then came back. Mo Chen, you and Mo Jianying will stay with a small team." After Li Yinshang finished speaking, Zhou Mochen and Gu Qingshu nodded slightly.
