Chapter 870 Contact, the First Air Battle!

Chapter eight hundred and seventieth

Seeing this scene, everyone around Wang Chong, including Li Siye, Su Shixuan, Cheng Sanyuan, Zhang Que, Sun Zhiming, Chen Burang, and Zhuang Buping, couldn't help being deeply moved. Feng Changqing's name was like thunder, and to many of them, they were It is the kind of big man who is high above, out of reach, and I am afraid it will be difficult to get in touch with in a lifetime.

But now, in front of so many people, Feng Changqing put down his face and begged Wang Chong, who was far younger than him, with an extremely humble demeanor. This made everyone feel a huge impact in an instant.

However, Feng Changqing didn't seem to notice it, and he still couldn't afford to bow. The situation in the Western Regions became more and more tense, and after nearly two months of darkness and despair, the current Wang Chong was almost the only thing he saw in his eyes. The hope is also the only chance for the 30,000 Anxi Guards trapped in Talas.

"Lord Feng, don't worry, although the cannibal is powerful, it is far from invincible. To borrow the words of General Chen Tang of the former Han Dynasty, whoever offends me will be punished no matter how far away! Datang is not a weak person The last thing the Dashi Empire should do is to collude with the Stone Kingdom and covet Anxi. In this battle, I will not only rescue Lord Gao Xianzhi and the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate Army, but also make the Dashiren pay the heaviest for their recklessness. The price! This is also the real purpose of my appearance here!"

Wang Chong's eyes were bright, and he slowly lifted Feng Changqing up, saying with an unusually solemn expression.

Hearing Wang Chong's eloquent words, Feng Changqing and the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate Army around him were shocked. Feng Changqing was originally full of anxiety and uneasiness, but when he saw Wang Chong for the first time, his eyes turned red and he almost shed tears. . But at this moment, there was an inexplicable peace of mind. Slowly, Feng Changqing raised his head. This was the first time he seriously and carefully looked at the young guard in front of him.

This is a boy who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, with sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes. It is easy to think of those aristocratic sons and playboys in Beijing, but he has a calmness and solidity that is absolutely impossible for a nobleman of this age. . With his wise expression and calm demeanor, people can't help subconsciously paying attention to every word he said, and are deeply convinced by it.

Not only that, in him, Feng Changqing also felt an extremely strong taste of military iron and blood, not an ordinary general, but a top-notch veteran who has experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood, has countless rich combat experience, and has extremely deep qualifications. general. Feng Changqing had served in the Anxi Governor's Mansion for more than ten years, and he had only felt this kind of aura from one person, and that was Anxi Governor Gao Xianzhi.

But even Gao Xianzhi didn't have such a strong smell of iron and blood on him.

For Wang Chong, Feng Changqing had underestimated him, and he had also re-examined and valued him seriously, but in the end, Feng Changqing realized that all the scrutiny had underestimated him, and the young man in front of him was far stronger than he imagined .

"What Hou Ye said is that I made a slip of the tongue. With Hou Ye leading my Tang army, Chang Qing believes that the big cannibal will never be able to get what he wants! Chang Qing is here to wish you an early victory and a triumphant return. At that time, Chang Qing will hold a banquet for your lord in the Protectorate's Mansion, to cleanse the dust and celebrate the military exploits!"

Feng Changqing also straightened his expression, stood on the side of the road, and bowed deeply again.

It is also bowing and saluting, but this time the meaning is completely different from before.

"I wish my lord an early victory and a triumphant return!"

Behind Feng Changqing, four soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate Army also bowed down and gave a deep salute.

"Wait for my news!"

Wang Chong just smiled, this time he didn't go to help Feng Changqing again, turned over, stepped on the white-hoofed crow, and walked forward again. His body is tall and straight, without the slightest nostalgia:

"Pass the order, the whole army set off, speed up!"

Rumbling, more than 100,000 troops, like a torrent, quickly passed through the last important military town of the Tang Dynasty, and accelerated towards Talas City, which was nearly a thousand miles away. Behind him, Feng Changqing slowly raised his head until the entire army disappeared and the last soldier from the Qixi Protectorate Army left Suiye City.

Under the setting sun, more than 100,000 Qixi reinforcements are like a black torrent,

The majestic, destructive momentum washed away towards the distance, that kind of momentum, invincible, never returning, deeply imprinted into everyone's mind. But in Feng Changqing's mind, over and over again, only the calm and confident figure of that young man emerged.

"It's just that it's better to meet a hundred times than to hear about it, and meeting is far better than being famous! In the past,...my lord and I underestimated Lord Hou. It is the good fortune of Anxi and the people of the world to have Lord Hou in Tang Dynasty! In this battle, we Believe me, Master Hou will definitely succeed!"

...

Leaving from Suiye City, the surroundings are surrounded by high mountains and mountains, without any city walls or villages, and the surrounding area is desolate.

"The whole army obeys the order and advances at full speed!"

"Follow up quickly, don't fall behind!"

"Hurry up, Taros is in a hurry, don't let the cannibal succeed!"

...

Turning over the precipitous and upright Congling Ridge, like a giant dragon crouching, and marching westward along the desolate mountain road, the sound of urging came one after another, and the movement speed of the entire army was pushed to the extreme. Soldiers are precious and fast, above the army, the falcons scouting back and forth one after another, never stopped. Although it has not yet reached Talas, but far away, a faint cry of soaring to the sky can already be heard.

Although nothing can be seen yet, everyone can imagine that Talas in the distance gathers hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and must be in the fiercest battle.

Everyone's expressions suddenly became tense. In the army, from top to bottom, all the generals looked very serious, and the orders were conveyed one after another. Feeling the tense atmosphere, everyone held their breath, not daring to let out the atmosphere.

Not only that, a day later, a new order came down, all the horseshoes of the army were wrapped in cloth, and the mouths of the horses and the livestock accompanying the army were all covered with nets to prevent them from screaming and making sounds.

The sound of the 100,000 troops marching was immediately reduced to the extreme, but in this silent environment, the atmosphere of the war became so intense that it could not be increased. Although it hasn't been clearly stated above, even those who are slow to react can understand that an unprecedented fierce battle is coming!

One hundred miles!

As the distance from Taros got closer and closer, the bursts of shouts also grew from inaudible to louder.

Eighty miles!

Still can't see Taros, waves of sound are rolling in, completely covering up the sound of the rolling wheels of more than 100,000 Qixi reinforcements and the sound of marching troops!

Fifty miles!

The marching speed of the army is getting faster and faster. On the horizon, an undulating mountain range looms. The trees on the mountain are lush and lush. Although there are no unusually tall towering trees due to geological reasons, they are also covered with green vegetation. Baishi Ridge, The closest obstacle to Taros. And looking up through Baishi Ridge, one can already see a majestic, tall and straight huge city exposed from the top of the mountain, with thick smoke billowing above the city, and flames soaring into the sky, covering the entire sky.

The atmosphere became more and more tense. The hundreds of thousands of troops looked serious, and no one made a sound. Even the cattle, sheep and other livestock from various tribes who accompanied the army as rations felt something, and closed their mouths one by one, their eyes full of anxiety.

"Quick march!!"

Orders were issued one after another, and the warlords and generals of all levels in the hundreds of thousands of troops issued orders frantically. Everyone felt the atmosphere of war, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, and staring at each other. Stare ahead. Everyone understands that the battlefield is there and the enemy is there!

What awaits everyone next is bound to be an unprecedented, cruelest and fiercest battle!

The gate of the Tang Dynasty is right behind, and Anxi's 30,000 Anxi Guards are waiting for rescue ahead, and there is no retreat for everyone!

Forty miles!

The tense atmosphere was so intense that it was suffocating. In front of the army, Zhang Que and all the members of the eagle and vulture team gathered together, and everyone looked serious. Since entering the Western Regions and forming the entire team, Zhang Que and the others have experienced several air battles, including the Battle of the Triangle Gap, the Battle of the Qixi Armory, and the battle on the Turkic Grassland. Everyone returned victorious every time.

But everyone understands that this time the opponents are not the same as before, they are far stronger than all the previous opponents. Whether it is cavalry, infantry, or eagles in the air.

In the past few brief contacts, everyone didn't take advantage of it at all!

"Prepare!"

Zhang Que turned around and looked around the crowd, his eyes flicked over each member of the Eagle Squad:

"I won't say much about how powerful the big cannibal is. There is only one chance. No matter what, we must win, and none of them will let go!"

"clear!"

Everyone said one after another, each of them was like a bowstring stretched tightly, with extremely serious expressions.

"Um."

Zhang Que nodded, turned his head quickly, and looked at the sky to the west. His eyes kept scanning the sky over and over again, as if he was looking for something. I don't know how long it's been—

"Hey!—"

All of a sudden, a high-pitched shriek like gold and stones came from the western sky, and the next moment, in the eyes of countless people, huge sakers, with sharp eyes, opened their huge eyes Wings, flying towards the direction of everyone in the sky.

"Here we come, let's go!"

Zhang Que's pupils shrank, and everyone in the Eagle Vulture Squad became nervous. This is the falcon that the big cannibal is on guard outside. Although the big cannibal is attacking Talas City with all his strength, he didn't expect other reinforcements to come. But like all imperial troops, even in the midst of fierce battles, the big cannibals still remain vigilant about their surroundings!

call out!

Without the slightest hesitation, the next moment, a black shadow flashed, and on Zhang Que's shoulder, the Eagle King Xiao Sha, who was covered in scars, jumped into the air like a sharp arrow. It was like a signal, hush, hush, the next moment, groups of falcons sprung up from the members of the entire falconry team like mushrooms after a rain, and charged towards the large sager falcon in the distance.

War is imminent!

"come on!"

Zhang Que gritted his teeth and looked at the sky, clenching his hands tightly.
