An epic story about an isolated city written in blood｜A covenant of protection that spans thousands of years
"I am not a hero, I just want to not give up."
——A modern man, in the desperate situation of the Anshi Rebellion, lived into history.
In the second year of Tang Suzong's reign (757), there was a heavy rain outside Suiyang City.
Lin Yan, a graduate student at Nanjing University, accidentally traveled through time in the laboratory, and when he opened his eyes, he was lying in the mud of a battlefield littered with corpses——
He was penniless and unarmed, with only a short knife engraved with the word "Breaking Barriers" and a history that was about to be rewritten.
After three hundred days of siege, the food was exhausted and the people were eaten. Zhang Xun guarded the isolated city like iron. Nan Jiyun cut off his fingers and asked for help. Lei Wanchun died in the battle at the north gate...
In just a few lines in the history books, three thousand soldiers sacrificed their lives for "three years of respite for the world."
And Lin Yan knew the outcome——
But he also understands: Those who know the outcome should not be just bystanders.
From borrowing arrows and blasting trenches with gunpowder, to attacking cities with poisonous smoke and breaking out on rainy nights, he used modern wisdom to intervene in the battlefield with cold weapons;
From Nan Jiyun breaking off his fingers and swearing an oath, to Lei Ting cutting his throat with scissors, he witnessed how Zhonglie supported the backbone of a dynasty with his flesh and blood.
But when he wrote the words "Guardian of Life" and handed the sword manual to the girl,
When he climbed the tower alone on the day the city was breached, he detonated explosives and burned with the enemy——
He finally understood:
History cannot be changed, but the spirit can be passed on.
——This is the end and the starting point.
This is the setting sun of a city,
It is also a civilization that never goes out.
