The pass of Helan Mountain has a long history, and even the ancient one has not been able to find the source, this pass has carried countless years of war, countless heroic souls have died here, leaving countless corpses, and how to deal with the corpses after the war has become an unsolvable problem.
First of all, it is covered with vegetation, and if it is set on fire, it will only implicate itself, but the climate here is humid, especially in summer, and if left unchecked, a large number of viruses and bacteria will inevitably breed and cause plague.
In this era, the plague represented death, extinction, and was an irresistible disaster for human beings, and how to deal with these corpses became the biggest problem for the defenders of Helan Mountain Pass at that time.
It wasn't until later, in a scuffle, that the defenders of Helan Mountain were broken up and fled to a place about ten miles away from the pass, which was covered with dense vegetation, and if they couldn't get close, they couldn't find it at all, and a bottomless crack appeared in their eyes.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for the generals defending the city to be unaware of such a crack in such a place so close to the pass, but according to some veterans, this place used to be a mountain at all, and even if there was a crack, it had just appeared, perhaps a miracle.
This crack is more than two meters wide, bottomless, since then every time there is a big war, after the war will be thrown into this crack, thousands of years later, this crack is still bottomless, not how many corpses swallowed directly, only to get the name of the valley of hidden corpses.
Maybe it's because the corpses here are too heavy, and the sunlight doesn't shine all year round, so something weird always happens, and the soldiers who transport the corpses here sometimes even seem to be lost and jump into this crack with the corpses, and gradually no one dares to approach this place anymore.
Later, a special unit was even set up for this purpose to clean up the corpses on the battlefield, and this unit was only responsible for cleaning the battlefield and transporting the corpses, and did not participate in the battle at all.
Even so, no one wanted to join the unit, and in the end the soldiers of the army were made up of death row prisoners or people who committed the most heinous crimes.
With the passage of time, the location of the Hidden Corpse Valley gradually disappeared from the cognition of those normal guards, only knowing that there was a unit responsible for cleaning the battlefield in the pass of Helan Mountain, this force did not communicate with people, and all of them had prisoner characters burned out by a soldering iron on their faces, and each soldier looked as lifeless as a corpse, stationed in a corner of the Helan Mountain Pass, extremely mysterious.
There are countless corpses buried in the valley, which seems to be a deep ditch, but at the foot of Helan Mountain, there is a road that leads directly into it, this road is very rugged, trekking through mountains and rivers along the way, and finally entering a long tunnel, which is naturally formed, leading directly to the bottom of the valley.
After entering the bottom of the valley, you will find that your eyes are suddenly open, not at all as you imagined to be big and narrow, but very large, like a huge valley, with hills, rivers, like entering another world, an underground world.
There is no sunlight in this world, and the layer of green exotic plants that spread on the ground is like fireflies, emitting a faint blue light at the top of the stems and leaves, illuminating the valley floor, making people barely able to see, but it makes this place even more weird.
This is a vacant space in the Helan Mountain, perhaps because of the movement of the earth's crust, I don't know when a crack was opened in the top layer of the space, it will be discovered, and finally this valley of hidden corpses will appear.
Yu Wenzhe led a team of 3,000 people, under the guidance of Uncle Qiao, towards the location of the Hidden Corpse Valley, sometimes turning suddenly, and sometimes retreating a distance to advance again, into the dense mountains and forests, and jumping over the yellow, orange and orange rivers.
Fortunately, they did not go to the deepest part of Helan Mountain, there were no large or group beasts, and there were no deadly poisons, and most of the people in the team were hunters living around Helan Mountain, and they were very accustomed to the distance in the mountains, so the speed was not slower than that on the flat road.
Uncle Qiao walked at the front of the line, because it was night, he would stop from time to time to find a path, and the place they walked through was very messy, even very steep, and it looked like a large number of teams had walked through in a short period of time.
Especially when he occasionally saw the corpses of Turkic soldiers who fell to the ground, Yu Wenzhe finally confirmed that the 10,000 Turkic soldiers bypassed the capital city of Shan Yu Duhufu through this hidden road, in order to raid Yinchuan, but unfortunately they met Li Jing's team, which led to the failure of the raid, perhaps because this road was too rugged and difficult to walk, so Ashina Helu only sent 10,000 Turkic soldiers.
When Uncle Qiao stopped to investigate the road, Yu Wenzhe would make some marks on the road, or still have a few tattered clothes, or drop a broken weapon, as if he was showing someone the way.
Just half a day's distance behind them, Ashina Yifan chased after them with a team of less than five thousand people, and the more he walked forward, the more gloomy Ashina Yifan's face became, because he had already seen that this was the road they came, and in order to walk this road, they lost hundreds of people without being familiar with the terrain.
Yinchuan City, the city lord's mansion.
"Fortunately, Madame is safe and sound, otherwise the minister would have died."
In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Jing's body was covered with white cloth, his face was extremely pale, and he looked at the eldest grandson queen sitting on the main seat, and said with a lack of energy.
"General Li doesn't have to blame himself, no one would have thought that the Turks would suddenly invade our Tang Dynasty, and even captured the pass of Helan Mountain in just one night, and everything that followed will depend on General Li's support."
Empress Eldest Sun reassured, she looked at the weak Li Jing in front of her, and her worried look couldn't be concealed.
"This is natural, but Madame should leave Yinchuan with Miss, but don't go back to Chang'an, I will send a thousand troops to escort Madame to hide in the south until the end of the war" Li Jing touched the sparse beard on his chin, but his eyes exuded an irreversible will.
"Why can't you go back to Chang'an, is Chang'an also in a dangerous situation, Your Majesty, how is he now" Empress Changsun is such a smart person, she instantly heard the meaning of Li Jing's words, and suddenly stood up and said.
"Madam, Your Majesty has gone through countless crises over the years, but all of them have survived, and this time is the same, with the strength of Chang'an City, although it is still at a disadvantage, but as long as Jieli Khan does not want to lose both, he will not forcibly attack, as long as he holds Yinchuan and blocks the 200,000 troops outside Yinchuan, then Datang will be fine."
Li Jing took a deep breath, then stood up, looked at the eldest grandson queen in front of him with burning eyes, and exuded an extremely tragic momentum, the kind of momentum that regarded death as if it were home and could not be defeated in a hundred battles.
I am afraid that only a famous general like Li Jing, who has been famous in history, dares to say such a thing, and his 3,000 guards, plus the remaining 5,000 guards, use only 8,000 troops to defend Yinchuan. i0 t1706231537:
