Chapter 153 The Last Glory of the Great Tang Dynasty

[But at this time, the Tang Dynasty really had no spare energy to support Anxi.

Thousands of remaining troops had to resist the Tubo attack alone.

It was the winter of 808 AD, the forty-second year since Guo Xin arrived in the Western Regions. During those forty-two years, the Tang Dynasty had not sent a single soldier.

In the vast territory of the Western Regions, only the isolated city of Qiuci still flies the flag of the Tang Dynasty.

The Mingguang heavy armor of the Anxi Army, which had held out for nearly half a century, had long been torn, their sharp Mo Daos had long been riddled with holes, and the soldiers all had gray hair.

This group of passionate men have transformed from young warriors into white-haired veterans.

The Anxi Army, which had inflicted heavy damage to the Arab Empire's 200,000 soldiers, was now left with only a few thousand old and weak soldiers.

However, when the drums sounded, all the Anxi troops launched a charge towards the Tubo army. It was also the last charge. Guo Xin, with a head full of white hair, led the Anxi army, representing the Anxi Protectorate to welcome the attack of the Tubo army, and also brought the last glory of the Tang Dynasty.

The whole city is filled with white hair, but I will never give up my sword. I have fought alone for fifty years, how dare I forget the Tang Dynasty?

In the end, none of them surrendered, and all died on the battlefield.

With the complete demise of the Anxi Army, the history of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions also came to an end!

More than 1000 years have passed, and people may have forgotten the army far away from the border, but people should not forget, nor should they forget the once magnificent Tang Dynasty spirit and national confidence.

For a while, there was crying inside and outside the Tang Dynasty. If such loyal and brave soldiers were in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, they would have spent their entire lives expanding the territory, but they were also the glory of the Tang Dynasty at its last moment.

What should Liu Che say as he looked at the Tang Dynasty soldiers whose hair turned from black to white? Was it because they were unlucky and did not meet a wise monarch?

However, this is also the Tang Dynasty that they themselves guarded. It was precisely because of the thousands and thousands of soldiers guarding the border that the dynasty was able to prosper and develop.

However, the wheel of history rolled forward, and the time of the Tang Dynasty's heyday came to an end, but their heroic deeds will always leave a brilliant mark in the history books.

The people looked at the advertisement at the back with red eyes - the last transfer of the Tang Dynasty in Mobei.

The gray-haired, sallow-faced old men went through numerous hardships and dangers to transport military funds. They were Guo Yuanzheng and Lu Shisi, from the 9th Cavalry Company of the Xuan Ge Battalion of the Wuwei Army of the Tang Dynasty. At that moment, everyone remembered them.

The words "Tang Dynasty" cast on the copper coins were the spiritual source for many merchants and common people to risk their lives to provide food and fodder for the soldiers. With silver, they could buy an extra knife or arrow, and let the enemy know that this is Tang Dynasty!

The confident and proud Tang gave its people motivation even at the last moment.

After all, that was the Tang Dynasty they dreamed of, the prosperous Tang Dynasty they would always miss!

The Li Tang emperors of various time and space were silent, and their Tang Dynasty was gone just like that. But in the beginning they were the center of this world, but in the end they suffered a devastating result.

Emperor Dezong of Tang looked at the sky curtain and felt a little embarrassed. He could provide food and fodder, but he really could not do anything else!

The Tang Dynasty today is not the Tang Dynasty during Emperor Taizong's time. How can we turn the tide?

……

"Today, we will fight these barbarians! We will bring their heads to see His Majesty Taizong!"

"Okay, hahahaha, come, let my precious sword get stained with blood!"

"Born as a Tang man, and dead as a Tang soul! There is not a single deserter in the Anxi Iron Army!"

"Of course, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will never surrender. If you want to fight, then fight!"

"Even in the afterlife, we can tell His Majesty Taizong that the Anxi Army has never brought shame to the Tang Dynasty!"

"We are Tang people in life and Tang souls in death! Brothers, charge!!"

The white-haired Anxi army charged into the chaos of battle, holding the Tang Dynasty's Mo Dao in their hands, determined to make the Tibetans unable to return.

This scene was displayed on the light screen by the system, allowing their beloved Emperor Tang to see their bravery and fearlessness.

This group of veteran generals killed one enemy at a time with one sword, making the opposing enemies tremble in fear.

Wherever they passed, there were corpses everywhere. Guo Xin led this group of weak soldiers and fought back and forth with the enemy.

The enemy leader sighed: "As expected of the nephew of the famous general Guo Ziyi, he does not disappoint us."

Everyone was horrified as they watched. There was a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, and the Tang Dynasty was already at a disadvantage. However, they showed no fear and only wanted to chop off the enemy's heads.

……

Everyone had expected the end of the battle, but still found it hard to accept.

Many court officials and generals cried. Today, they witnessed the glorious moment of the Tang Dynasty and also saw the last glory of the late Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin clenched his hands. His Anxi Army had shed its last drop of blood for the Tang Dynasty. He, Li Shimin, would never forget this!

But he will not forget the enemy who attacked him. Now that he knows what will happen in the future, he will not sit and wait for death.

The generals under him could not wait any longer and volunteered to take the lead in the fight to avenge the humiliation.

The rest of time and space was silent. The prosperous Tang Dynasty lived up to its name.

The heart of defending the country is touching. He used his last bit of strength to build the reputation of the Tang Dynasty...

"Forty years, the Anxi Army has held on from their prime to their old age. Even though the heyday of the Tang Dynasty is no longer here, the backbone of the Tang Dynasty is still intact!"

"It took more than a thousand years for the Western Region to return to our embrace."

"The glory of the Tang Dynasty will last forever. There is no one before and no one after. "

"All the barbarians in the world who dare to raise an army will be killed!"

"The soldiers who conquered the Western Regions for the empire have turned into the rolling yellow sand on the border, becoming one with the empire's territory. We will not give up an inch of our beautiful land!"

"The last transfer in the Tang Dynasty Mobei is a 16-minute short film. Although it is an advertisement, it is very realistic."

"The wind swept the remaining clouds and the sand filled the sky, and the white-haired and broken armor stood at the border. I have no regrets about burying my bones in a foreign land, and I will not let the thieves look forward to Chang'an!"

……

Leng Xiaoyun sniffed. The Tang Dynasty was a brilliant dream, carrying the best wishes.

When talking about the Tang Dynasty, the first thing that comes to mind is peace and prosperity, but the Tang Dynasty after its decline is also tear-jerking.

When I studied history in the past, I only knew about the Anxi Protectorate, and I thought it was just an ordinary administrative and garrison organization, but only after I really understood it did I realize how important it was.

[How to use ancient poetry to express, I like you. 】

[It is "How deep is the love, the sunset in the deep mountains and the autumn rain."

———Nalan Xingde, Qing Dynasty, "Dielianhua: Out of the Frontier"

It is "The exquisite dice are filled with red beans. Do you know my deep longing for you?"

——Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty, "Dielianhua: Out of the Frontier"

It is "Long-lasting lovesickness leads to long-lasting dependence, short-lasting lovesickness leads to infinity."

——Li Bai, Tang Dynasty, "Autumn Wind Lyrics"

It is "Wait until the prosperity is over, and live with you forever. I only hope that your heart is like mine, and I will never let you down."

——Song Dynasty·Li Zhiyi "Bosuanzi·I Live at the Head of the Yangtze River"

It is "I wish to be a pair of wings in the sky, and a pair of branches on the ground."

——Bai Juyi, Tang Dynasty, "Song of Everlasting Sorrow"

Or "Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; except for Mount Wushan, all other clouds are but mounds."

——"Thoughts of Separation" by Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty

As expected, people in later generations are more straightforward. Ancient people admitted that they were still unable to say something as straightforward as the word "like".

Ying Zheng and others had no feelings at all. What was the point of liking someone? It would be better to approve more memorials.

Instead of having that thought, you might as well take action. Reciting poetry is for others to see.
