The Devil City is the White Dragon Pile.

The White Dragon Pile is a vast desert with countless undulating steep hills lying across the vast Gobi Desert. Its color is gray and white, reflecting silver light in the sunlight, as dazzling as scales. From a distance, it looks like a group of white dragons swimming in the sea of ​​sand, appearing and disappearing from time to time, connecting from beginning to end, boundless and spectacular.

The terrain of the White Dragon Pile is dangerous, especially in summer and autumn, with constant storms. Countless business travelers were buried here, so they are known as the Devil City.

The Han Empire built nearly a hundred beacon towers on the Silk Road more than a thousand miles from Dunhuang to Loulan. With the changes of the times, these beacon towers gradually became history. The Sui Dynasty unified the Central Earth and dominated the Western Regions, and then rebuilt the beacon towers. Among them, there were ten beacon towers and one garrison towers built on the Bailongdui Silk Road. This garrison tower was named as the beauty of the Dragon City by the Middle-earth people.

This is the fork of the Silk Road. Loulan goes south, connecting the south and middle roads of the Silk Road, and Luomanshan goes north, connecting the north road, so the importance of this place is self-evident. The Great Sui Dynasty built a fortification here, with the purpose of controlling the interests of the Silk Road. Whether it is Hujia walking the south road or a wealthy businessman traveling to the north road, if he wants to make a profit from the east and west roads, he has to pay enough money to buy the road.

There are disputes where there are interests. The Central Turkish Great Sui army garrisons here, while the Western Turkish enemy tried every means to fight openly and secretly. The shadows of the sand thieves thieves were behind the White Dragon Dumpling. There were more than a dozen thieves of all sizes, and they were invincible. Among them, the largest horse thieves even built villages and forts in Bailongdui, which were called the Devil City.

Tonight, the lights of Longcheng are brightly lit, and the red wind lights hang high in the night sky, like a string of magnificent red night pearls, shining brightly.

The garrison soldiers on the city were waiting for the battle, as if they were facing a great enemy.

The night wind roared violently, and the sound of drums and horns came faintly in the darkness, as if thousands of troops were running wildly from the vast desert, with amazing momentum.

There were several torches outside the city, and the flames swayed violently in the cold wind, as if they would be extinguished at any time. The light and dark light reflected on the men dancing wildly, making their faces look bleak and dark, like the dead from hell, which made the guards frightened and uneasy.

A warrior with black armor and red bulb appeared on the city tower, with a round face of brown and red, a beard like a steel needle, and a pair of fierce round eyes under thick eyebrows. He held a sheathed horizontal knife in his hand, with a arrogant expression and arrogant arrogance.

"Little devil, pickled and mixed, a thief like a vicious dog, in the middle of the night, why do you run to our Longcheng? Get out of here or you will serve him."

The rough and domineering voice suddenly rang in the dark, as if a huge rock was thrown down on the quiet lake, causing layers of waves.

The torch was raised high. A horse came out from the crowd, holding a round shield in his hand, and urged the horse to approach the city.

"Lu Long, the devil city, come and have a visit. Please tell us about General Miao before the city."

His voice was very loud, as thick as a bell, and with a distant and ethereal echo, it swung with the wind, melodious and beautiful, making people unable to help but have an illusion that the person who spoke was General Longcheng, and the general who had a bad voice just now was a full thief.

"Get out" General Miao on the city tower was even more angry. He hit the wall with a horizontal knife in his hand and shouted at the top of his throat, "You are sinister, cunning, scheming, and extremely shameless. Get out immediately, otherwise you will be shot and killed by arrows."

Lu Long laughed, his beautiful voice rose again, "Miao Yu, don't be shameless, you annoy us. Your Dragon City will be a pile of ruins. Tomorrow morning, if you can still see the sun, we will get out of the Devil City from now on."

"Little devil, I am standing here. My head is on my neck. If you have the ability, you can take it." Miao Yu was furious and shouted loudly, "Just wait until dawn, I will definitely fight out of the garrison and chop off your thief's head."

Lu Long frowned slightly, and a look of resentment appeared on his handsome face with a sharp edge, and a pair of deep-sleeping eyes under his thick eyebrows ejaculated with a sharp and cold light.

"General Miao, Lu Longte comes to visit and discuss important matters." A sharp murderous aura gradually emerged from his deep voice, "If you want to die here, if you want to watch Longcheng and your brothers destroyed under the sword of Tieler, we turn around and leave and will never disturb General Miao's last spring and autumn dream in this world."

Miao Yu opened his mouth and wanted to curse with great pleasure. Suddenly, he thought of the order from the Shanshan Yingyang Mansion that he received a few days ago, saying that the Hexi side would soon transport a batch of food and supplies, and asked him to strengthen the vigilance in the Bailongdui area and try to drive away the sand horse thieves stationed here to ensure the safe passage of food and supplies.

Now that the Tuyuhun people have made a comeback, captured Qiemo, and continued to attack Qiang City. The situation is tense. Whether Yingyang Mansion can defend Shanshan and stabilize the situation is not the amount of troops, but whether food and grass weapons can ensure the needs of the army. If the enemy of the Western Land took advantage of the chaos to capture Longcheng, cut off the Silk Road between Hexi and Shanshan, and cut off the military supply of Yingyang Mansion, the situation will definitely take a sharp turn, and Shanshan will most likely fall into the enemy.

Miao Yu's mouth opened and a cold wind blew in. He was frightened in his heart and had several cold wars.

At this moment, a Taoist priest with yellow robe and bamboo crown quietly emerged from the darkness, walked slowly behind Miao Yu, and whispered, "Why don't the general tell the truth and the false? Let's hear what the thieves are doing?"

"What the desperate thief is trying to do is nothing but money and profit. What will happen to discuss?" Miao Yu sneered.

The Taoist priest was over 100 years old, with a fair skin, three long strands of long beards, elegant temperament, and somewhat slight. Hearing Miao Yu's disdainful words, the Taoist priest smiled and said, "I have heard merchants coming and going in Hexi that the generals of Longcheng and the thieves, snakes and rats in the Devil City were in a nest, colluding with them..."

Miao Yu turned around suddenly, showing anger, and opened her mouth and shouted fiercely, but when she said that when she said that when Lou Guandao's huge force in the northwest was forced to hold it back.

In the eyes of Lou Guandao, his seventh-grade team was worthless. The result of offending Lou Guandao was not only a loss of office, but even his life was not guaranteed. He had done a lot of illegal things in Bailongdui, and Yingyang Mansion knew, and Lou Guandao also knew. Bailongdui was a dangerous place. If you want to survive, you had to adapt and get along with the sand horse thieves in the Devil City, call them brothers, and "robbery" on the Silk Road with them, otherwise you would definitely be in a different place.

Since you have seized our handle and said this, we will tear off the fig leaf. Miao Yu sneered, "So what?"

"I want to go to Loulan, of course I want to know whether what the thief said is true or false."

"Sir, do you think it's true or not?"

The middle-aged Taoist pondered for a moment, and his face gradually became solemn, "Do you know, if Longcheng falls, what does it mean to the guards of Yingyang Mansion in Shanshan? What does it mean to Hexi and even the entire northwest? The general guards Longcheng and bears heavy responsibilities. You should know a little about the importance of this."

Miao Yu glared at him hatefully, turned around and left. Louguan Dao is a special existence in the northwest. Just like the monks in the northwest, it has its own special status and power. Ordinary people dare not offend them easily. Seventh-rank military officers like Miao Yu are also cautious, fearing that they will cause unintentional disasters to themselves.

Miao Yu entered the urn city, but when he arrived on the wall, he saw Lu Long wave at him and signaled him to leave the city to speak.

"Like a dog like a pickled man." Miao Yu was so angry that he cursed. The family of officials and bandits could not be so arrogant, right? We are the leader of the garrison. After all, we are the seventh-rank military officer of the Great Sui Dynasty. He has status and status, but he gave you a horse thief to call you. This is unreasonable.

A rope was thrown down on the wall of the Wengcheng. The meaning was very obvious. If you want to speak, just talk. Miao Yu stood on the wall and scolded her angrily. Look at her aggressive posture, there could be thousands of arrows at any time.

Lu Long ignored his tricks and simply left.

Another horse rushed out of the torch and galloped under the city wall. The horse immediately went up the rope of black-clad popular, climbed over the wall of his daughter, reached out to take out a protective gear from his arms and handed it over. A garrison took it through the wall and hurriedly delivered it to Miao Yu.

Black wolf-headed protective gear? Northwest wolf? Miao Yu took the protective gear and looked over and over again. Although he was not sure that this was the protective gear worn by the Northwest wolf, he knew that the little devil had a friendship with some of the Northwest wolf. In the past few days, he heard that the legendary Golden Wolf Head among the Northwest wolf was "resurrected from the dead" and was playing Polo ball with the Turks in Dongwan.

The more Miao Yu thought about it, the more he became, the more he was confused. He expected that the little devil would come here late at night. So he rushed to the edge of the wall with his protective gear in three or two steps, pushed away the garrison guard holding a crossbow, and shouted at the man in black outside the wall, "Who is coming?"

The man in black wore a hood. Before Miao Yu could see his face clearly, he jumped over the wall of his daughter, walked down the rope, and left with a horse.

Miao Yu hesitated for a moment and decided to leave the city. The black wolf-headed protective gear is not only a symbol of the identity of the northwest wolf, but sometimes it also represents a certain special power, and the mystery covering it is even more tempting.

Miao Yu turned around and made a gesture to the teammate in the city, then climbed over the battlements, jumped onto the daughter's wall, and followed the rope to the outside of the city.

The torches were extinguished and the city fell into darkness.

Miao Yu didn't care at all and rushed over hurriedly.

The little devil Lu Long came up to meet him.

"Where is the Northwest Wolf?" Miao Yu asked loudly, "Who is the Northwest Wolf?"

Lu Long pointed to the two people behind him, "This is the Fire Fox of Ziyuntian, Ashina He Bao." He pointed to a man in black, "This is Brother Eagle, the Black Eagle of the Northwest Wolf."

He nodded to the west, then took out his own talisman letter and handed it over.

Miao Yu glanced at it, immediately confirmed his identity as a journey west, and immediately bowed. The black eagle was like a golden wolf head, and was also a legendary figure of the northwest wolf. In front of such a fierce warrior, Miao Yu's crazy attitude disappeared. As for the fire fox in Ziyuntian and the Tulunchuan sand thief who was famous in the West, Miao Yu didn't even look at it.

"Is there a Taoist priest in Louguan in the garrison?" asked Xixing.

"Yes, there are three Taoist priests."

Miao Yu was about to give a detailed introduction, but he continued to ask urgently, "When will the food and supplies coming from Hexi arrive in Longcheng?"

"If the weather is normal, it will take five days."

"Five days?" The westward frowned tightly, and then asked again, "Are there sufficient weapons in the garrison? If there is an enemy attack, how many days can it last?"

Miao Yu suddenly became nervous, "Is Tiele people coming? How many people?"

"I'll know tomorrow." Xi Xing sighed, "I hope we can defend Longcheng."

"The general came here late at night to report this alarm?"

He shook his head west, "There is another major event that must be hidden from Taoist priest Lou Guan, so I asked you to go out of the city to discuss."

Miao Yu looked heavy when he saw the westward journey, and his heart beat violently for no reason. The strong sense of suffocation made his breathing suddenly heavy.
