Chapter 0858: Erdenet
Erdenet, formerly known as the city of prayer, is said to have been a place of prayer for the heavens in ancient times.
It is bounded by Sichuan in the east, Fenzhou in the south, Yunwu Mountains in the west, and the central gate in the north.
Its unique geographical location has also given it an unparalleled historical mission, and the city of prayer was once the most important gateway to the Central Plains after the Yellow Emperor unified the Central Plains, and it was also the first gateway to defend against the enemy outside the country.
It's just that, under the endless years of time, the vicissitudes of life, this place has long changed, and the enemy has long been assimilated and assimilated, expelled and expelled, and the huge and majestic city has been destroyed in the war again and again, and the only thing that has been inherited is the prosperity here.
Qicheng has the Gucci Road extending in all directions, it is an important traffic town in all dynasties, and even became the capital of a small country in a certain period of time several times, after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, overhauled the Chi Road, Qin Shi Huang wanted to emulate the ancient emperor, overhauled the surrounding Chi Road, and completely stabilized its position.
Although Qin Shi Huang then gave up this place, and sealed Zen in Mount Tai, it did not lose its popularity.
It was not until later that the Yuan Dynasty conquered the land of the Central Plains, in order to determine its legitimacy, and in order to declare its merits and rule, the city of Qi was changed to Erdenet, and the historical city that had been used for thousands of years seemed to disappear.
Qicheng is very large, after several wars, the most recent is the invasion from the Yuan Dynasty, because of the stubborn resistance of the Qin army, almost destroyed, and after these years of recuperation, the aboriginal population living in it has reached about 500,000 again, plus the floating population, there are 700,000.
With the appearance of the Inhumans, the city of prayer is like any other city. Caught the fast track of development, and today, even if war is imminent. The whole city did not appear to be depressed because of this. Of course, this is compared to before the arrival of the Inhumans, because the soldiers were full of ruffians, and with the addition of Subutai to pull the strong Ding, the prosperity of the city also plummeted, erasing the development results brought by the Inhumans.
"Drive! Drive! Get out of the way, everybody get out of the way. Emergency military situation, those who stand in the way ...... die! ”
Several riders came from the Western Cloud Mountains, covered in dirt. The stink is overwhelming. If it weren't for the broken banner planted in front of the horse's buttocks, and a suit of armor that could vaguely identify them, it would not have been possible to let them in the city.
In this chaos, the cavalry went straight to the city lord's mansion. As soon as he arrived at the door, he was stopped by heavily guarded guards.
The cavalry at the head jumped straight down. Pulled off the token wrapped around his waist, threw it directly to the guard general who was blocking in front of him, and said: "I am the commander of the thousand commanders, Galdan, and there is an urgent military intelligence report Marshal Subutai!" Tell me about it! ”
The guard general caught the slippery waist card, and almost didn't throw it away on the spot, he endured the stench from the waist card, carefully identified it, and his face became solemn. When he looked up, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he had two large black circles under his eyes. The dust on his face couldn't cover it, which made him believe it a little.
The guard general said: "Please follow Haji to the side hall to correct his appearance, wait for a while, and then go to report!" ”
Although the guard generals were very respectful, Geldan was still a little anxious, and said: "You go quickly, the matter is urgent, and no one can afford to delay it!" ”
If it weren't for the fact that he would have been chopped up as an assassin, Gerdan would have wanted to rush straight in, because no one knew better than him how urgent this matter was, and danger could happen at any time.
"Some!" The guard general arched his hand, did not hesitate, and strode in.
When he summoned Geldan at speed, Gerdan was already dizzy and dizzy, he had been in a hurry before, and he didn't rest for a while, even if he was sleeping, he was on the war horse and let others lead him, and he came in turn, but now he suddenly stopped, his tense body relaxed, and the side effects came up.
"See the marshal!" Geldan only felt that his head was wooden, and his ability to think was gone.
Vaguely, he listened to Su Butai and asked, "What is the important military situation?" Need you, the commander, to deliver it in person? ”
"Back to the marshal, the first two groups of people were intercepted by those Han people on the rivers and lakes, and the last general had to go out in person, detour on the super small road, and finally come here alive ......!" In fact, Geldan was already half confused at this time, holding on to his consciousness to prevent himself from falling, and he didn't even realize what he was talking about.
Subutai noticed Geldan's situation, which he had not seen before, on the contrary, he had encountered a lot. After a long period of tension, once relaxed, people will involuntarily want to fall asleep. With a heavy shout, he interrupted his words: "Okay, don't talk nonsense!" Say......! ”
Geldan shuddered, sobered up a lot, and said with a bright back: "Marshal, the big thing is not good, there is a Xihe army that is quickly advancing towards the hinterland of our army, and the last general will learn about it from the mouth of the stranger......!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, Geldan couldn't hold back anymore and fainted to the ground.
Su Butai heard it clearly, and stood up with a sigh, his face changed drastically: "It's not good......!" ”
He immediately realized that the other party was most likely coming for the corpse hanging at the east gate of Erdenet, no, more precisely, for Erdenet, for him.
"Pass the order, ring the alarm, and the whole city is on alert!"
Subutai couldn't care about waking up the unconscious Geldan anymore, and he didn't care about thinking about how the other party concealed the sudden arrival.
Bell bell ..................!!
Ten minutes later, the alarm bell rang, and Su Butai breathed a sigh of relief, but the subsequent alarm bells made his complexion change again.
'Shouldn't the alarm bell ring from the City Lord's Mansion first, and then connect outside?' ’
At this time, if he was not a fool and realized what was happening, just now, a group of enemies attacked the city of Erdenet, and he seemed to be a step too late......
The slightest mistake is a thousand miles.
Subutai hated himself very much at this moment, and if Geldan had reported it directly, then he would have half an hour to prepare, and he would definitely not be a step slower than now.
Reason quickly triumphed over the unprovoked fire, and now the priority is to understand the situation and solve the problem.
Instead of thinking about those who didn't care, after all, unless he wanted to face the threat of death later and give the Assassin a chance to drive straight in, it was impossible to save this half hour.
You must know that there are not one or two Han people who want him to die, for example, this time Geerdan sent a letter, and twice in a row he solved it to the people in the rivers and lakes, and in the end, it was Geldan himself who succeeded, which can be seen.
"Come on, follow me to the East Gate!"
Passing the unconscious Geldan and not even having time to look at the other party, he hurried towards the east gate where the sound sounded first. (To be continued......)
