Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Chapter 120: Views on the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Examination in Dayan begins!
How long has it been?

Eulji Lanqing may have forgotten...

He was once considered one of the best warriors in Goguryeo. He was brave and courageous and had extraordinary martial arts skills. He would always be the first to break the formation and kill the enemy.

At that time, I was just a fool!

Until one time, when King Luoyi of Peking returned to Beijing to report on his duties, Ulchi Wende led an army of 3000 to besiege Youzhou. Ulchi Lanqing also led more than [-] troops from his headquarters to follow.

At that time, Youzhou was leaderless, and there were few soldiers and generals in the city. Against this Goguryeo army, they lost more than they won!

Everyone thinks so too, and Eulji Lanqing is even still thinking about what kind of fun he should have after the city is defeated.

Never thought about it!
Youzhou used a strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain and diverted most of Goguryeo's troops away. Ulji Wende only left more than 5000 troops, including Ulji Lanqing.

After dark….
The nightmare is coming!

Eulji Lanqing will never forget that night!
The city gate opened wide, and a group of Youzhou cavalry with nearly a hundred people came out, hoping to attack the camp at night!

Goguryeo generals such as Eulji Lanqing did not expect this scene to be staged, but none of them panicked.

He himself even personally led his troops and rushed forward to fight at the first opportunity!

result….
The cavalry, wearing cold clothes and holding a full-moon scimitar, but with only about ten people, directly killed through their formation!
Even if Goguryeo was underestimating the enemy, there were so many people there, but they were still caught in a one-sided massacre, just like being chopped down.

The army was defeated like a mountain, no one could hold down the army's position, and the unlucky ones who trampled each other to death were countless!
At the beginning, Eulji Lanqing couldn't figure out the situation, and it wasn't until later that he heard someone shouting crazily:

"Eighteen Riders of Yanyun"!
Since then, Yiji Lanqing has also understood what fear is, and in the subsequent confrontations, he deeply realized it...
The fear brought by this terrifying cavalry!
Until the Eighteenth Cavalry of Yanyun left the Gobi and his whereabouts were no longer known, during that period of time, the entire Goguryeo community really breathed a sigh of relief.

Eulji Wende was still worried, and even sent an eagle master and a tiger master to patrol the border until they were withdrawn three years ago.

When seeing the figure in white robes and waving a white spear, Yi Zhi Lan Qing was even more shocked!
"How is that possible? You...aren't you all dead? You who are on the battlefield in the east can run here, you guys are indeed...ghosts!"

Everything that happened in front of him was completely unexpected, and he couldn't even recover for a while.

This scene is too shocking!
"Hmph, just a few rats want to rob the camp? What a wishful dream!"

Next to Yi Zhi Lan Qing, a young general couldn't stand it anymore. He held an iron gun and rode towards General Bai Hu to kill him.

General White Tiger acted as if he didn't see it. He didn't even raise his eyelids. He swung his white spear and stabbed him directly.

"Puchi~"

Simply neat!

A small hole was stabbed in the young general's chest, and blood poured out as if lifeless. Then he fell directly to the ground, twitching continuously.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Eulji Lanqing's lieutenant also understood that something was wrong, and hurriedly covered the retreat of the army, wanting to leave this place of right and wrong.

The group of people came and left in a hurry, but Eulji Lanqing was still in a daze, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

General Baihu and Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry did not pursue them and continued to kill!
.
…………………….
Lan Yinyang and Yaljin, the generals of Goguryeo, are now very angry.

They thought that by guarding the front, they would be able to protect the rear without worry, but there was a clinker team sneaking over?
Shameless!
"I'll go back and have a look!"

In desperation, Lan Yinyang had no choice but to lead his troops back first, leaving only Yalkin and others stationed at the original place.

This terrain can only be blocked by one man, so there is no need to worry too much.

Although Yalkin and others were also anxious, they could not lose their position at this time. Instead, they strictly ordered their men to brace themselves to avoid being attacked by the shameless Great Yan army.

Lan Yinyang led two thousand iron cavalry, galloping all the way towards the rear camp in the wind, thunder and lightning.

The Goguryeo barbarians who were still watching the excitement along the road gave way one after another!
After this group of people ran back, they only saw corpses everywhere. The surrounding area was even more messy, and the fire had a tendency to continue to spread.

This wave alone is enough to break their muscles and bones!

And the most hateful thing is that the initiator...
Already fled!

now.

The entire rear camp was ablaze, with corpses strewn everywhere. This time, at least [-]% to [-]% of the men and horses were lost.

What makes Lan Yinyang even more angry is that in the face of the enemy, all the soldiers in the back camp have turned into turtles and huddled in their tents shivering?

Tolerable or unbearable!
"What a bunch of bastards. I, the son of Goguryeo, have all disgraced you!"

Lan Yinyang cursed loudly.

Seeing him like that, I wanted to pull a few guys over and chop them to the ground to vent my anger.

"General...general..."

Several captains of ten thousand men came over tremblingly, their faces still full of shock?

"You trash, you trash!"

Lan Yinyang cursed several times to express his anger, and waved the riding crop in his hand.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Several crisp sounds came out, causing these guys to twitch on the ground, but they didn't dare to say anything. What's more, they actually showed expressions of relief.

Nightmare….
it is finally over!
In just over half an hour, they had been frightened and frightened, fearing that they would be "targeted" by the white-armored cavalry and Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry and other evil spirits.

In fact, it is normal for these Goguryeo barbarians to have this reaction.

What a person fears most is not death, but fear!

Few people can face their fears.

General Baihu, Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry and his party were originally the nightmare of these Goguryeo barbarians, and because of their early planning and the speed of their troops, an army that they thought should not appear appeared here. Combined with the previous rumors of ghosts...
They were shrouded in a veil of mystery...
The nightmare is coupled with fear, and it appears at this late night. How can you not be scared out of your wits?

Lan Yinyang whipped these guys with a horsewhip for a long time, making them dripping with blood. It was extremely miserable. He didn't stop until Euljiwen and others hurriedly arrived.

When everyone saw that the rear camp was in such a mess, everyone was shocked!

"what happened?"

Ulji Boondeok asked.

"Yan...Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry...and...and that white-armored general, he...appeared, all appeared!"

"They are evil ghosts, and these evil ghosts are asking for their lives... They are evil ghosts asking for their lives!"

Mentioning that incident, the fear in the hearts of these captains seemed to be awakened again. They all opened their eyes wide and yelled randomly...
He looked like he was scared to death!
"Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry, White-armored General, how is this... possible!"

Eulji Wende suddenly felt that his whole body was not well.

He obviously only heard about the battle between the front line and Baijia General and his Eighteen Yanyun Cavalry in the morning, but how could he cross the entire battlefield in half a day.

No matter how fast the horse is, it still takes two days!

This...could it be that the Great Yan army has come to reinforce again?
Eulji Wende didn't believe in any evil spirits, he just thought that Daeyan was afraid that the army had come again.

Only with a new army can a surprise attack be carried out by surprise.

But this….
How could this be so!

Thinking of this,

Eulji Munduk's legs began to tremble unconsciously, and his back was covered in cold sweat.

This cold feeling penetrated into the bone marrow, making people feel cold all over.

This battle lasted for several months.

He has made no achievements, and every day the army is out, the consumption of food and grass is astronomical.

Although His Majesty Yeon Gaesomun was unwilling to give in and wanted to take back his queen from Emperor Daeyeon, as time passed and pressure from major families in Goguryeo, he had to compromise and let Eulji Mundeok withdraw his troops.

As for Liaodong City….
At present, there is no other way but to let Dayan Kingdom obtain it.

This is what Yeon Gae Somun means.

But this matter has always been suppressed by him. He gave Yuengai Suwen confidence and encouragement, saying that he would definitely be able to break through the blockade of the Great Yan Cavalry, go straight to Liaodong City, and then get it back.

Yeon Gaesowon kept holding his breath in his heart, and seeing that his general was so confident, he gave him some more time.

Eulji Mundeok was full of confidence, but half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and even if he tried his best, he could not move forward. At this time, new reinforcements suspected of being from Daeyeon's army arrived...
This….
Eulji Munduk gritted his teeth, could it be that... the army really had no choice but to withdraw?
Damn!

That damn Great Yan Kingdom!

How could a country with a population of only 10,000+ have such a powerful army?
Is there some kind of empire behind it?
"Could those white-armored cavalry be tiger and leopard cavalry in disguise?"

Eulji Wende continued to ask without giving up.

As long as those white-armored cavalry are disguised as tiger and leopard cavalry, it means that Dayan has not come to reinforce, then he can still fight!

Because his own army is tired, Dayan's army will also be tired. Everyone is tensing up to see who can unload first.

And tonight's group of white-armored cavalry was from the front line. He didn't believe it. They couldn't cover such a long distance in half a day!

In fact it is.

General White Tiger and the others arrived nearby early, and then relied on General White Tiger's superb surprise attack ability to achieve victory.

As for the White Tiger Battalion that gave Eulji the illusion of Wende, most of them were composed of Wei soldiers who could ride horses, and there was also a small group of White Tiger Guards led by Xin Qiji who were fake White Tiger Battalions.

Because it was a fake, they tried their best to avoid fighting with the Goguryeo army these days, and used surprise attacks at night to activate the battlefield, making the Goguryeo army mistakenly think that the White Tiger Camp was still on the battlefield.In fact, the White Tiger Camp, led by General Bai Hu, had arrived nearby.

This is Zhang Liao's plan.

Eulji Wende didn't know about this. He could only judge based on limited information. Finally, the result of the judgment based on the replies from those ten thousand captains was that... Dayan's army has come for reinforcements again!
"General, what should we do?"

Lan Yinyang was a little confused.

Before the reinforcements came, Dayan had already made it difficult for them to move forward. Now that there are reinforcements, what should they do?

Eulji Wende narrowed his eyes slightly, with a face full of reluctance, and then sighed: "We have been away for too long, and the soldiers are homesick. In addition, there was no result last time. It's time... to go home."

"Go home?" Lan Yinyang was stunned, and then said unwillingly: "Liaodong City has just given up. From now on, our door to Goguryeo will be wide open."

Eulji Mundeok looked helpless: "I'm not willing to give in, so when His Majesty called me to retreat over and over again, I still insisted. But now that Daeyeon's reinforcements are coming, do you think we can still break through their reinforced blockade? "

Lan Yinyang was stunned.

Eulji Mundeok sighed: "It seems that you have nothing to do. In that case, I will write a letter to Your Majesty immediately. Our Goguryeo Southern Expeditionary Army is about to withdraw! Return home!"

Lan Yinyang said unwillingly and with hatred: "I...I know, General..."

He was full and unwilling to leave.

After he left, Eulji Wende looked in the direction of Daeyeon and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Daeyeon, Dayeon Dayan... What kind of country are you from?"

"It is difficult to resist our Goguryeo army. It is difficult even for the Tang army to do this kind of thing. Dayan... you are a new empire..."

"A militarily powerful empire..."
.
…….….….….….
Great inflammation.

Yanyun City.

During the Liaodong City War, Goguryeo began to tend to retreat. Such a major event is not known here for the time being, but there are major events belonging to it here.

Imperial examination!

It's time to start! !
The weather has entered winter, and it is about to be cold.

People and students are very busy now.

The people harvested and stocked up their crops, put on thick winter clothes and prepared for the winter.

And the students are even busier.

There are only more than ten days left before the imperial examination.

Don't be nervous, it's all fake.

School of Physics and Astronomy.

The school bell rang.

Ma Zhou, Zhao Yang and a group of others walked out together.

This is their habit. In their spare time when preparing for the imperial examination, they will come to study in these academies.

The knowledge here is wild but very effective. It really makes them intoxicated.

That kind of attraction makes them like it even more than others.

Moreover, the colleges here represent the knowledge structure of the building, and the content of the imperial examination must be indispensable. Therefore, not only them, but also a large number of scholars who came from the Tang Dynasty, all hang out in the three major colleges of Dayan.

"The imperial examination is coming soon, how are you preparing?" Zhao Yang asked with a smile.

"What else can we do? Dayan's imperial examination has no scope at all. We are still the first batch of scholars to participate in the imperial examination. We don't have any previous experience to refer to. Who knows what the content of this imperial examination will be."

"However, since it is practical, it shouldn't be too tricky. This time the competition is about each of us's background."

"Everyone has a chance. When the time comes, just do your best!"

Ma Zhou said in a deep voice.

"Yes! King Bin is right!" Hearing this, Zhao Yang nodded repeatedly: "We all have hope, but since it is an imperial examination, there will always be people who make it and others who don't."

"If...I mean if, you fail the imperial examination, what will you do? Should you go back to Datang, or stay in Dayan?"

Zhao Yang suddenly asked.

This question made Ma Zhou and others stunned.

They really haven't thought about this problem yet.

This….is indeed a problem….
Stay or go back to Datang?

The sudden silence enveloped several people, and everyone frowned.

"I stayed!"

After a while, Ma Zhou was the first to speak. He glanced back and saw a large number of students from the School of Physics and Astronomy walking out.

There are many, many students in the School of Physics and Astronomy now.

Even the school has been expanded several times and even branches have been opened.

And this situation began to slowly spread to several other towns.

I even heard that Liaodong City is also preparing.

It is very likely that they are still experiencing war and are expanding their schools. This shows how much Emperor Yang Kuan of Great Yan attaches great importance to education!

It can be said.

The atmosphere for universal education has gradually improved throughout the Great Depression.

Everyone realizes the importance of education.

"Dayan, I like it! It's full of energy and hope since here. If I fail to pass the imperial examination, I will consider coming to the college to be a teacher and continue studying my mechanics!"

Ma Zhou said.

"Yes, King Bin is right. I am used to living in Dayan. Chang'an... I really can't go back."

A scholar named Bai Bingyan also nodded and said: "I heard that over in Chang'an, General Tiance discovered the book, but there were only a few places released. There were so many people squeezing for a few places, unlike the big ones. There is a lot of fire coming out, and there are only a few people.”

"So even if there is an imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, I will not go back! There are too many aristocratic families there, and the voices of the people are too quiet. It is completely different from the Great Yan!"

"So, whoever wants to go back to the Tang Dynasty will go back! Anyway, I won't go back!"

"And I like stars. Why am I planning to go to the moon?"

Bai Bingyan grinned.

When talking about what happened in Chang'an, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Indeed, after such a long time, even though the Tang Dynasty also held imperial examinations, Admiral Tiance also discovered the book.

but.

There are too few places for release!

Less than a quarter of Dayan!

It can be said that the students there are in dire straits and the competition is going to break their heads.

And I heard that under the control of the noble family, the prices of pens, inks, paper and inkstones are rising crazily.

This is to make it clear that students from poor families will not have an easy time, and ordinary people will not be allowed to study.

The noble family wants to completely destroy the hearts of the court and the people!

They want to completely lock all the ascending channels!

Unlike Great Yan, everyone is united and works together.

In a place like Datang, whoever wants to go back can come back, but they won’t go back anyway!
Others also expressed their thoughts one after another. Everyone had their own path they wanted to take, and even their desire for the imperial examination was reduced a lot.

Because they discovered that studying is not just the imperial examination!

They still have countless beautiful things waiting to be discovered by themselves.

"Okay, that's good!"

"Then let's work together to help His Majesty Dayan build Dayan!"

"His Majesty has done so much for us and provided such an excellent environment and people. We...we will never let His Majesty down!"

Zhao Yang clenched his fists tightly and said with burning eyes.

He has decided to help that man and help him build a better Dayan and a better home!

Not only Zhao Yang thought this way, but also Ma Zhou, their small group, and even many scholars in Dayan all had such thoughts.

They have a heart to serve the country.

And... serving the country, there is hope!
time flies.

Especially when there are expectations.

The day of the imperial examination officially arrived unknowingly.
