Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2033

The spring breeze never stops Yumen Pass.

In early spring, the cold wind at Yumen Pass was still tight.

Recently, Yumen Pass has been quite restless, and Zhang Hu, the guard guarding Yumen Pass, is also a little out of his mind because of this.

There was a severe snow disaster in Western Turks, and their disaster has not been alleviated until now. They have been attacking Datang, and have slowly infiltrated into the Hexi Corridor.

And along the way, none of their cavalry encountered any powerful enemies.

This made them even more crazy, so much so that they pointed the finger at Yumen Pass.

As long as they capture Yumen Pass, they will be able to control the Silk Road, and then control the countries in the Western Regions.

Ashina Helu is a very ambitious person, and also has the characteristics of a hero. He is not satisfied with becoming a Khan in Western Turks. He wants to snatch back the former Turkic territories. He wants to control the Silk Road. Lu, he wants to annex the countries of the Western Regions.

After a person's ambitions grow, only continuous conquests can satisfy his ambitions.

And since last winter, Ashina Helu has never been idle. He took his own cavalry and kept plundering, which has made the border of Datang a little ugly.

However, the small towns they have been attacking all the time have not had a great impact on Datang.

However, now Ashina Helu has set his goal at Yumen Pass.

As long as he can conquer Yumen Pass, he will be able to cut off the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty, and if the Tang Dynasty is weakened, his Western Turks will become stronger.

And at this time, his soldiers and horses finally arrived outside Yumen Pass.

The cold wind was blowing, making people feel a little cold.

Behind Ashina Helu was the [-] soldiers and horses he brought out, and his [-] soldiers and horses were all cavalry.

They want to attack the border town of Datang, what they want is speed, these cavalry are just enough, and it is these cavalry that they have repeatedly attacked successfully.

"Soldiers and soldiers, the Yumen Pass of the Tang Dynasty is in front of us. As long as we can capture their Yumen Pass, our disaster will be resolved, our people will have food, and your family will be able to live well. As long as you can After conquering Yumen Pass and returning home, Ben Khan will be rewarded with great rewards."

Ashina Helu is a burly man, and his beard is a symbol of handsomeness in their Western Turks.

He is very bold, but also very prestigious.

After speaking like this, the soldiers behind him immediately became excited.

"kill!"

"kill!"

The screaming sound resounded through the sky, Ashina Helu laughed, and then rushed towards Yumen Pass.

Inside Yumen Pass, a spy came to report in a hurry.

"General Zhang, something is wrong. The Turkic cavalry is ten miles away from us. They will arrive before noon today."

The speed of West Turkic is so fast that people can't react at all.

What Zhang Hu had been worrying about for a long time finally happened.

After the incident, his face became very ugly.

What should we do in this battle?

He was not in a hurry to prepare the soldiers to defend the city, but hesitated. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed and said, "Order the soldiers to defend the city."

A group of Tang troops made preparations on the tower, and just as they were preparing, Ashina Helu rushed over with his cavalry.

After they rushed over, they didn't say any nonsense to Tang Jun on the tower, and rushed over directly.

They just rely on the speed of the cavalry to catch them by surprise. If they talk nonsense with these Tang troops, wouldn't their surprise be meaningless?

"Kill, capture Yumen Pass, Ben Khan will reward you heavily, the first one to charge up will be rewarded with a hundred guan."

"kill……"

Ashina Helu has the ability and charm to make the soldiers rush over regardless of their own safety. After he shouted this, the soldiers of the Western Turks rushed over like this.

On the city tower, Tang Jun began to shoot arrows, and began to resist the enemies who rushed over.

The Tang army has [-] troops at Yumen Pass, which is not very weak. Even if they are not fully prepared, there is still no problem if they want to resist for a while, and even keep the enemy out of Yumen Pass forever. .

This is already their border town, how could they let the enemy rush over.

The two sides continued to fight like this, the soldiers and horses of the Western Turks were crazy, and the Tang army was also very crazy.

However, after more than an hour of fighting like this, the Tang army gradually began to show signs of defeat.

The situation seems to be a bit bad for the Tang State. The morale of the soldiers of the Tang State is not very strong, because Zhang Hu has not done anything to improve the morale at all. What's more, they are not ready to defend the city.

So their defense can't last long.

And when this happened, Zhang Hu frowned, and said: "The enemy's strength is too strong, we can't resist them at all, in order to preserve our strength, we can only abandon the city now."

Hearing the abandonment of the city, many Tang soldiers were stunned for a moment. They have fought in the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and they have never encountered such a situation of abandoning the city. They can die in battle, but they have never abandoned the city.

What's more, this Yumen Pass is very important to their Datang. If the Yumen Pass is lost, the Silk Road will be gone, and their Datang will also lose a barrier.

"General, it's not a small matter to really abandon the city."

"If the city is abandoned, the Holy Majesty will know that we must die?"

"General?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Hu, Zhang Hu's eyes were fixed, and he said: "For this crime, I, Zhang Hu, have the guts to abandon the city."

Zhang Hu is the guard of Yumen Gate, and he is willing to take on this responsibility, so what else can they do besides abandoning the city?
In fact, with the current situation, if they don't abandon the city, the Yumen Pass can still be broken by the soldiers of the Western Turks.

And when the city gate was broken, they wanted to escape, but they didn't have any chance.

So, after Zhang Hu finished speaking, they immediately abandoned the city and fled.

After Tang Jun escaped like this, it was much easier for the Western Turks to attack and enter Yumen Pass.

It didn't take long for the Western Turks to break through the city gate.

"rush."

Ashina Helu rushed in with soldiers and horses, and after they rushed in, they found that Tang Jun had abandoned the city and fled. This surprised Ashina Helu, but immediately afterwards, he became disdainful of Tang Jun stand up.

"Haha, what is the impregnable gold and jade gate? Didn't this Khan easily attack it? The soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are no more than that. One day, I will bring my warriors from the Western Turks to attack your Chang'an city. I want this Chang'an city to become a city of my Western Turks."

"Come here, search for all the property in Yumen Pass for me."
