Bai Yuxian sighed in his heart.
Wang Wei's talent is truly unparalleled.
Immediately, I couldn't help but feel the desire to recruit talents. The right way is easy to get thousands of troops, but hard to find one general.
It would be fine if he had never met such talents, but now that they have come to his door, it would really be unreasonable not to stay.
At the same time, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but feel a little happy, because from this moment Wang Wei took the initiative to invest, it can be seen that his reputation and prestige in the world has indeed reached a very high level, and he can start to actively attract Wang Wei Such characters took the initiative to vote.
Good thing.
Bai Yuxian couldn't help but feel a little happy.
The eyes looking at Wang Wei couldn't help but become more and more satisfied.
While Bai Yuxian was observing Wang Wei, Wang Wei was also observing Bai Yuxian, and the more he observed Bai Yuxian, the more admiration and admiration he felt in his heart.
He has always been proud and arrogant, but now just looking at Bai Yuxian's appearance and demeanor, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.
If there really are immortals in the world.
I'm afraid it's nothing more than that.
Wang Wei sighed.
At this time, Bai Yuxian also spoke again.
"I heard that the purpose of your visit is to recommend yourself to serve me, and also to report important information?"
"Yes, I just got the crown in Wei years ago. I left home and traveled around the world after studying half a year ago. I have been traveling around the world for half a year now. I am determined to become an official and make achievements and serve the court, but I have no way. I have heard the name of the monarch for a long time, and I admire him in my heart. It has been a long time since I heard that your Lord is going on an expedition today, so I came here to serve you. I hope that you will not give up and do your best to serve me."
Wang Weili cupped his hands and said.
He is now just over 20 years old. He has been traveling around the world since he left home after finishing school half a year ago. He is also interested in becoming an official and establishing a career, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.
However, this time Bai Yuxian went to Hexi, Wang Wei felt an opportunity, and he was willing to join Bai Yuxian.
"Okay, a man should have great ambitions. Since you are determined to serve the court and make contributions, and you are so young and have such strength, I will not turn away heroes."
"In this case, then you will temporarily stay with me as a general and go out with the army. When you perform meritorious service, I will personally vouch for you and ask for your merits for the court."
Bai Yuxian immediately spoke.
"Thank you, Lord."
Wang Wei was also overjoyed and thanked him immediately.
"These are all the main generals in the army. You also know Guo Ziyi, Gao Shi, Li Siye, Feng Changqing, Li Sanlang, Sun Wuzhou, Bai Qingzhi, and Bai Ziyu."
Then Bai Yuxian gave Wang Wei a brief introduction to Guo Ziyi and other generals in the camp.
"Wei has met all the generals."
Wang Wei also immediately saluted everyone one by one.
"Vice General Wang."
All the generals also returned the gift one after another, and they did not despise Wang Wei in their hearts, because everyone believed that if Bai Yuxian could be favored by his own prince, then Wang Wei must be outstanding.
After Wang Wei and everyone had said hello and got to know each other, Bai Yuxian asked again.
"You just said that there is still important information to report?"
"Exactly."
Wang Wei looked at Bai Yuxian again and bowed his hands respectfully.
"I will tell you the truth. I came to join you because I came from Hexi. I am also very familiar with the battle reports at the Hexi border, so I came here specifically to report to you."
Hearing these words, Bai Yuxian and all the generals present were immediately shocked.
Although they continued to collect information from Hexi along the way and compiled battle reports, the information obtained was not ideal, neither detailed, comprehensive nor timely and effective.
Now if Wang Wei really has a detailed battle report on Hexi, it will undoubtedly solve an urgent need for them.
"explain."
Bai Yuxian immediately signaled Wang Wei to speak.
Wang Wei didn't hide anything.
"The Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu officially invaded Hexi a month ago. It is a coincidence that Wei happened to be traveling to Dunhuang at that time."
"The Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu invaded suddenly, and gathered a total of 300,000 troops. Yumen Pass was breached immediately, and Dunhuang also fell."
"Three hundred thousand troops!"
Hearing these words, both Bai Yuxian and Guo Ziyi and other generals present could not help but be severely shocked.
Originally, the emergency report received by the capital did not contain information on the specific number of Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu armies, but only reported the fall of Yumen Pass and Dunhuang.
It seems that because Yumen Pass was breached, Hexi sent an emergency report to the court immediately after the fall of Dunhuang. At that time, the specific number of Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu armies had not been found out.
that's the truth.
The Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu troops totaling 300,000 troops were defeated by Wang Wei at Yumen Pass. He only learned about it half a month after the fall of Dunhuang.
After Yumen Pass was breached and Dunhuang fell, Wang Wei relied on his strong personal strength to kill him in advance.
"Currently, the Hexi army is retreating to Jiayuguan to confront the Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu armies, but the strength disparity between the two sides is too great."
"The Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu troops are 300,000 strong, and the entire Hexi frontier army only has 50,000 troops in total. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long even if they hold on."
"As far as Wei knows, Jiayuguan was already on the verge of collapse a few days ago."
Jiayuguan is crumbling!
After hearing Wang Wei's words, Bai Yuxian, Guo Ziyi and other generals present could not help but change their faces.
Jiayuguan is the throat of Hexi and the last line of defense in Hexi.
Once Jiayu Pass is breached, the entire Hexi region will be unstoppable to the Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu.
When 300,000 Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu troops rush into the hinterland of Hexi, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Looking at ancient times and modern times, looking at what foreign tribes have done after they invaded China, we know what the result will be if these foreign barbarians are allowed to successfully invade.
Burning, killing and looting.
Do no evil.
"Jiayu Pass must not be breached."
Bai Yuxian immediately stood up, looked directly at the generals in front of him and gave the order.
"Everyone present will obey orders."
"The end will be here."
"The military situation is raging and is imminent. Now I order you to continue leading the army to Jiayuguan with all your strength. I will rush to Jiayuguan first to support."
"promise."
"Wang Wei, you can see the way to Jiayuguan."
Bai Yuxian looked at Wang Weidao again.
"I know."
Wang Wei immediately handed over his hand.
"Okay, you come with me and show me the way."
As he said this, Bai Yuxian stepped forward, grabbed Wang Wei and walked out of the tent, then jumped into the air and flew towards the Jiayuguan Pass pointed by Wang Wei.
Is this the magical power of martial arts?
Flying in the air.
Soaring in the clouds and riding in the fog.
Such methods are not unlike those of gods.
Being led soaring high in the sky by Bai Yuxian, Wang Wei couldn't help but feel excited for a moment. He couldn't help yearning for the realm of martial arts and magical powers, and at the same time he admired Bai Yuxian more and more.
Bai Yuxian took Wang Wei and flew all the way towards Jiayuguan in the direction pointed by Wang Wei.
However, Bai Yuxian did not use Xiaoyaoyou, but flew at the normal air-control speed at the level of divine power.
After all, Xiaoyaoyou is his trump card, so Bai Yuxian cannot be exposed easily.
Flying so much of the night, they covered thousands of miles.
Finally, at the fateful hour of the next day, facing the rays of the morning sun, the outline of Jiayuguan appeared in Bai Yuxian's sight in the distance at the end of the sky.
At this time, in front of Jiayuguan, there was already a river of blood and corpses scattered everywhere.
So far, the Turkic, Uighur, and Geluolu coalition forces have launched an unknown number of attacks on Jiayuguan.
The nearly 50,000 Hexi frontier troops guarding the city had now lost less than 10,000.
In front of the Jiayuguan gate tower, corpses were almost piled up into a hill.
The strong smell of blood could be clearly heard within a radius of several miles.
At this time, among the three coalition forces of the Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu, the commanders of the three parties also looked unhappy, because although the soldiers on the west side of the river suffered heavy casualties in this battle, their casualties were not much better.
They never expected that their own army of 300,000 people would be blocked by the Tang Dynasty's 50,000 troops at Jiayuguan Pass. It took more than ten days to break through, but they suffered heavy casualties.
If they continue like this, even if they can finally break through Jiayuguan, it will definitely be a huge blow to the morale of their army.
"We can't continue to waste any more. We must break through Jiayuguan today. No matter how much it costs, we must break through."
"Yes, the Tang Army in Hexi only has a total of 50,000 troops. Judging from the casualty statistics in the past few days, the Tang Army should now have less than 10,000 troops left."
"Then let's launch a general attack."
Immediately, the three people reached an agreement, and the three people were respectively the Turkic Khan, the Uighur Khan, and the Geluolu Khan.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Ugh——!"
Soon, the thunderous sound of war drums and horns sounded from the Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu armies, and the three parties began to launch a general attack on Jiayuguan.
On the tower of Jiayuguan, the sound of war drums and horns could be heard, and all the Tang soldiers couldn't help but change their expressions.
"General, they are about to launch a general attack."
"General, there are not many brothers left, we can't stop them."
"."
At this moment, the entire Hexi Army was basically exhausted.
The original 50,000-strong army was now reduced to less than 10,000, and most of the armor and weapons on them were in tatters.
There are still more than 200,000 troops from the Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu.
How can they fight with such a huge disparity in military power?
Even Gao Sheng, as the commander-in-chief, looked desperate at this moment, with no hope in his heart.
But despite this, he had no idea of abandoning the city and fleeing, but said loudly.
"Since these barbarians want to fight to the death, let's fight to the death. Killing one is enough, and killing two is enough to earn. When a man fights on the battlefield, there is no need to fear death."
"All officers and men obey orders."
"Today, people are in the city, but the city is broken and people are dead, kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The loud shouts of killing instantly broke through the sky.
At Jiayu Pass, at this moment all the Tang troops led by Gao Sheng were determined to fight to the death.
Boom boom boom!
The thundering sound of horse hooves and footsteps also sounded in front of Jiayuguan. The Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu armies also rushed to the front of Jiayuguan as the general offensive was launched.
"Haha, brothers, there is no need for a graveyard to bury your bones. There is no place in life without green hills. Today I am so proud that I can live and die with so many brothers here. I am so proud of this life that I have no regrets."
Gao Sheng laughed loudly when he saw this, and immediately drew out the long sword on his waist as soon as he finished speaking.
"We will have no regrets if we can follow the general in this life."
Everyone in the Tang army also shouted in unison.
The words fell.
Seeing that the war was about to break out completely, the Turkic, Uighur, and Geluolu armies had all reached the bottom of the city tower.
At this moment, in the distant direction of the sky, accompanied by the brilliance of the morning sun, suddenly the sky seemed to break open in an instant.
A brilliant sword light penetrated the heaven and the earth, crossed the heaven and the earth, and cut directly into the Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu armies.
moment.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud noise like the sky and the earth falling apart, the heaven and the earth seemed to break open in an instant.
