Chapter 2255 Great Victory in Northeast China, the Whole World Celebrates!
A few days later, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, the capital of the Tang Dynasty was covered in silver and white. Looking down from the sky, the roofs of thousands of households were all covered with a thick layer of snow. Thick ice ridges were densely packed like forests, along the The corners of the eaves are drooping, turning the entire capital into an alternative world.
And the streets and alleys of the capital, which are lined up and crisscrossed, are completely empty.
The world is silent and silent, as if it has turned into a deserted and empty world!
It was freezing cold. At this moment, where no one could see it, nearly a million people in the capital of the Tang Dynasty huddled into the cellars dug in their houses and waited silently. Since ancient times, situations like this have happened This has never happened in the imperial capital of a single dynasty.
However, in the southeast corner of the capital, amid the deserted wind and snow, there was still a figure standing in the pavilion, silently looking in the northeast direction, as if waiting for something.
Wow!
A snow eagle flew down from the sky, and the Tang Dynasty cavalry was shocked. He suddenly raised his head, stretched out his palm in disbelief, and caught the snow eagle.
"This is news from the Northeast!"
The cavalryman was stunned.
He has been waiting here for several days. In this world of ice and snow, he is probably the only person standing outdoors guarding the entire capital while silently waiting for news.
In this endless waiting, time is the most unbearable, every second is as long as a century.
There is nothing here except wind and snow. The scenery is the same everywhere, completely white.
He was used to waiting like this, and was used to fruitless results day after day, but he never expected that he would be waiting for news from Northeast Youzhou at this time.
"Northeast...a great victory?"
"The Northeast has won a great victory!"
The cavalryman muttered to himself at first, and then he became excited. Suddenly he turned over and got on his horse, and then galloped towards the palace like crazy.
"The Northeast has won a great victory!"
"The Northeast has won a great victory!"
Horse hooves are flying,
Amidst the gusts of wind and snow, the cavalryman rushed all the way, his excited roar echoing throughout the city.
The entire white capital was silent at first, with only the sound of wind and snow, but soon, bursts of noise came from both sides of the streets where the cavalry passed.
"What? Northeast China is victorious, Datang has won?"
"The king of foreign lands really succeeded!"
On both sides of the street, heads, big and small, opened the windows and poked their heads out against the wind and snow. It was freezing cold, and layers of white frost quickly formed on these people's eyebrows, hair, and beards. Even the children were like this, but everyone's face was flushed and excited.
"boom!"
Soon, the voices of discussion on both sides turned into shocking cheers.
Matters related to the Northeast and the war originally only needed to be reported to the imperial court and made known to the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. However, Li Heng overcame all opinions and set up a pavilion in the southeast corner of the capital. Before all news about Northeast Youzhou was transmitted to the palace, The people in the capital must be informed first.
According to Li Heng, the empire has reached a critical moment. At this time, the more important it is for the government and the public to be united, the monarchs and ministers to be united, and the superiors to be united. They should not hide this from the people of the empire.
Only by working together and staying in the same boat can the empire truly survive this crisis and even the crises it may face in the future.
Only with this spirit can the Tang Dynasty truly enjoy long-term peace and prosperity.
"Hooves clatter!"
Amidst bursts of cheers and the sound of horse hooves, they galloped all the way into the majestic palace.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, pots of square cauldron charcoal fire were burning brightly. In the main hall, Li Heng was sitting on the dragon chair, looking sleepy, and in front of him were the palace officials.
Except for the sound of crackling charcoal fire, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was silent.
It was freezing cold, and the whole world was frozen. The huge machine of the Tang Dynasty also came to a standstill at this moment. There was nothing left to discuss in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but Li Heng still sent all the ministers to the meeting. They were summoned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This state has been like this since the Battle of Northeast Youzhou.
The fate of the empire has been unknowingly decided by the great war in the Northeast. If the Tang Dynasty wins, the prosperous age will be peaceful and all prosperity can continue. But if it fails... everything will be lost.
"Your Majesty, Northeast China has won a great victory!"
Suddenly, with a bang, the palace door opened, and the iron rider, covered in snow and covered in dust, walked in quickly.
"Wow!"
Hearing the voice of the messenger, there was originally a dead silence in the hall, but in an instant, all the ministers opened their eyes with excitement on their faces.
"The Northeast is victorious? Is it really a great victory?"
Everyone was extremely excited and waited countless days and nights just for this news.
"Bring it up and show me!"
At this moment, a voice came from above the hall. Li Heng was sitting high on the dragon chair, and suddenly Huo De stood up with an extremely excited expression.
"Great, great!"
"King of Foreign Land, I did not misjudge you!"
Li Heng stood in the main hall, looking at the letter of success written by Wang Chong in his hand, and his joy was beyond words.
For countless days and nights, he barely slept for a moment in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, just for this moment.
"Pass my order and ring the bell!"
Li Heng said in a deep voice.
"clang!"
A moment later, snow was falling all over the ground. On the high wall in the southeast corner of the imperial city, a huge copper bell suddenly vibrated. The loud sound was deafening and spread throughout the capital in an instant, even the desert wind and snow covered it up. Can't live.
This was specially set up by Li Heng for this war. As long as the bell rang, it meant that the Tang Dynasty had completely won the war in Northeast China that determined the fate of the country.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Clang clang clang!"
"Clang clang clang!"
…
One loud bell after another shook the wind and snow and resounded throughout the capital.
"boom!"
At first, only the people near the palace heard the bell and leaned out of the room. Then the area continued to expand, and more and more people heard the bell and cheered. In the end, everyone knew about Northeastern University. At the news of victory, waves of cheers surged and resounded throughout the sky:
"King of Foreign Land!"
"King of Foreign Land!"
"King of Foreign Land!"
…
The capital, which was originally dead silent, as if it were an empty city, came to life completely at this moment. Countless people cheered, even walked out of their respective places, poured into the streets, and celebrated crazily.
Although it was freezing cold and the outdoor temperature was extremely low, at this moment, the joy of victory in everyone's hearts overshadowed everything else.
At this moment, Wang Chong's name is destined to go down in history together with the Tang Dynasty!
…
At the same time, in the northwest, is the City of Steel.
"kill!--"
Waves of killing cries resounded through the city. The war in the Northeast was over, but fierce fighting was still going on in the Steel City in the northwest. And unlike the Northeast, in the City of Steel, Datang was at an absolute disadvantage.
"For Uzang!"
Amidst bursts of roaring, one Uzbeg cavalry climbed up the wall one after another. Who would have thought that the plateau nomads who live on horseback all year round, after breaking away from their horses, would fight in the siege battle? He was actually so brave, even more powerful than many siege soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
In just a few short months, Dalu Qinling actually trained a specialized rope force from the Uzang Empire. These people were proficient in using ropes to attack cities, and they fought bravely without fear of death, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Anticipate.
The tall walls of the City of Steel are completely useless to this army!
For the Tang troops in the City of Steel, they have much more to worry about than just that -
"Boom!"
An earth-shaking roar came from the southeast without any warning. A tall city wall collapsed, revealing a huge gap. Amidst the shocking shouts of killing, horses' hooves burst into bursts, and a large number of Uzang cavalry were covered with weapons. It was snow, and it kept rushing over.
On the highest observation deck made of steel in the center of the Steel City, Master Qingyang, Li Junxian, Hubalshe and others stood condescendingly, overlooking the surroundings, taking everything in sight, and their faces were extremely ugly.
"We all underestimated him. This Emperor of Uzang is more difficult to deal with than we imagined. If this continues, in at most half a day, the City of Steel will be completely lost!"
Li Junxian stood on the observation deck and smiled bitterly.
This handsome and elegant Confucian leader has long lost his former magnanimity and grace. The snow-white Confucian shirt is also full of blood and scars. Many of the marks were left by swords at first glance. They look shocking. Obviously, before Experienced extremely dangerous battles.
This battle lasted for a long time, and after several confrontations, whether it was Li Junxian, Young Master Qingyang, Hubal She, or even Wu Sili and Jiudu Fuluo, they were all seriously injured.
This war is far more difficult than everyone imagined.
"There is no way. Dalu Qinling is too powerful. In terms of strategy, even if the three of us join forces, we are no match for him. I am afraid that only the King of Foreign Lands here can deal with him!"
Hubal's breathing was disordered, he shook his head and said bitterly.
However, in a short period of confrontation, the Western Turkic soldiers and horses under his command had already suffered heavy losses, and the horror of Dalu Qinling was far beyond imagination.
Before this, Hubalshe had always believed that no matter how strong Dalu Qinling was, it would still have its limits, but now, he no longer has such thoughts.
Dalu Qinling is a tiger, a terrifying monster that has restrained its claws and is sitting next to them.
He didn't take action before, just to make the surrounding countries ignore the beast living next to them. But when he opened his claws and launched an attack, the terror and ferocity were unimaginable to anyone. In fact, , being able to persist under the hands of the Uzbeg Emperor and Prime Minister until now, even Hubalshe himself already feels it is a miracle.
——Without the steel city built by Wang Chong, Hubalshe couldn't even imagine what would happen if he encountered the Great Lun Qin Tomb in the wilderness.
"Report!"
Soon enough, just as a few people were talking, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind. A messenger looked anxious and hurriedly boarded the observation tower:
"Sir, there is an emergency in the southwest. General Duan has sent word that the gap there can no longer be defended. Please make a decision and send an army to support as soon as possible!"
"Buzz!"
After hearing the words of the messenger, the three people on the observation deck looked shocked and extremely bitter.
"It seems that it can't last for half a day. In a few hours, the City of Steel will be completely destroyed."
Li Junxian looked ugly.
Now the City of Steel is in crisis, all available troops have been dispatched, and there are no more troops available, which means that the City of Steel may be destroyed at any time.
