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

the other side.

There was an urgent news that it was the Turkic rear court, that is, the Turkic revolt led by Jie Li Khan's son, who once again came from the north and swept across the Central Plains.

They struck quickly.

A few days ago, the general of a city did not react in time and was directly broken into and killed.

It was several days later when the battle report came.

after all,

The telegraph was only circulated in Yanyun City, the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, and had not yet been popularized in other places, which led to such a tragedy.

When Li Kuan heard the battle report, he was furious and immediately led an army to the north to fight against the barbarians!

……

Liuzhong City, the northern border of Dayan.

It can only be considered to be on the edge of the entire state of Illinois, located close to the heart of the ice field, and its location may be relatively remote.

However, it happens to lie between Yicheng and Yanmen Pass, and can be regarded as a throat!
Along the way, Li Kuan and his party rarely encountered any enemy troops. In addition to him leading the army, there were also Chen Qianzhi and Zhang Liao.

now.

Judging from the battle reports from Liuzhong City, Liuzhong City is still relatively stable.

When they evacuated Yizhou, they were surrounded by enemy troops within a radius of fifty miles, and not even a mosquito could fly in.

Judging from the current situation, there may be only one possibility: Liuzhong City is already in danger, and it is even possible that the enemy has already broken into the city.

After occupying Liuzhong City, there would be no point in blocking this area!

Li Kuan also smelled a faint smell of blood in the air and couldn't help but frowned.

The soldier who came back from Liuzhong City to deliver the message hadn't realized anything yet, or hadn't thought too much about it. He looked quite excited and shouted:

"Your Majesty, we also have excellent wine in Liuzhong City! There is also a pancake shop in the west of the city. The pancakes made by Uncle Luo's family are famous throughout the Western Regions."

"After we drive away those barbarians, I will ask the villagers to take out all the wine they have hidden for so many years and reward everyone! Haha, Grandpa Qiao will definitely not refuse!"

He was still talking excitedly, and the people around him sighed in their hearts, feeling particularly heavy in their hearts.

The Grandpa Qiao mentioned by this person is of course referring to the defender of Liuzhong City, Qiao Wei.

"go!"

Li Kuan didn't waste any words and rode his horse forward, with the other riders following closely behind him!
Liuzhong City is a relatively remote place in the east of the city. The cellar where Captain Guan and others are hiding is located here. It is not in the courtyard, but rather in a place covered with weeds.

Not eye-catching at all!

If it is real, make it virtual; if it is virtual, make it real!
Even if those Turks racked their brains, they would never be able to find this place.

Captain Guan's name was Guan Shurong. He was originally a scholar, but later he gave up writing to join the Wuzu Guard. He followed everyone to Dayan and was finally discovered and became a garrison commander.

He also had gray hair on his temples, but his temperament was still somewhat elegant, with a scholarly air, and his turbid old eyes were full of vicissitudes of life.

"Nothing at all?"

Guan Shurong smacked his dry lips and spoke in a hoarse voice.

“No…no more.”

The old man shook his head, his steps became weak, and his body was shaking. Suddenly, he couldn't stand still and was about to fall down.

"Meng, what's wrong with you?"

Guan Shurong and others hurried forward and supported him.

"It's okay. It's okay... I'm just tired. Just take a rest... I'll be fine..."

Meng Yi's face turned pale, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and even his lips were trembling.

"Grandpa Meng!"

Several skinny little kids also gathered around him, threw themselves on his body, and sobbed quietly.

The young girls and three or four old men were also silently wiping away their tears.

"It's okay, baby...don't cry, don't cry..."

Meng Yi rubbed their little heads and whispered comforting words.

"What's going on?" Captain Guan frowned.

"Ugh!"

An old woman sighed, slowly crawled over, leaned against the wall, and said weakly: "Captain Guan...Captain Guan, my old man hasn't eaten for two or three days."

She rolled up her trouser legs, smiled miserably, and tears appeared in her cloudy old eyes: "Look."

Guan Shurong and others looked over and saw that her feet were extremely swollen and looked a little deformed. No wonder she couldn't walk and had to crawl over.

The old woman pressed it with her hand, and the land sank in a short while, and it would not recover immediately.

This is.…

hungry!

"you!"

Guan Shurong looked stern, and slowly rolled up Meng Yi's wide trouser legs, and saw that his legs were even more swollen, and had turned a little blue...

It seems that if you press it, water will come out!
The seven or eight soldiers were silent. Their faces showed grim expressions and they all looked extremely painful. In the end, a few of them couldn't hold back any longer and ran to the corner sobbing.

The man does not flick when he has tears, but he has not yet reached the point of sadness!
How can I bear this situation?

They didn't dare cry too loudly, for fear that their secret hiding place would be discovered and everyone in it would die.

We are all struggling to make a living, and those who have experienced famine should know that excessive hunger will not make people lose weight, but will make them swollen.

But since entering Dayan and becoming a citizen of Dayan, such days no longer exist.

But with the Turkic invasion again, the city was besieged and there was no food again. This made many people seem to be dreaming back to the days of hunger.

"No...it's okay. We old guys...should have died a long time ago. We'll just go hungry for a few meals. It's nothing serious. Don't...don't worry."

Meng Yi grinned and looked extremely weak.

They have been hiding for almost a few days, without seeing the sun, and there is not enough food here. The four or five old guys have also discussed eating less to save some rations.

Being hungry won’t kill you!
His words made the survivors feel even more sad, and they all shed tears silently.

In their eyes, there was endless hatred: hatred for themselves that they could do nothing!
As long as this group of old, weak, women and children walked out of this cellar, they would be caught by those beasts in less than half a cup of tea...
You can imagine how miserable the outcome will be then!

"Lao Guan, let the brothers look for it again!"

The old soldier with white hair and beard took a deep breath and said.

Among the remaining soldiers, there was only one relatively young man, and the rest were all wearing helmets and armor, and were probably over 60 years old.

Some have white hair, while others have gray hair!
But the momentum is still as strong as before!

"Okay! Remember not to fall into the enemy's traps! These beasts are getting more cunning! No matter what you see, you must stay calm."

Guan Shurong is not a indecisive person.

"Grandpa Guan, let's go too!" said a ragged girl. "Yes! We all have hands and feet, and we can run! We just need to be careful. If we run into those beasts, the worst that can happen is that we just run faster."

A woman also said.

All of these people stood up. Apart from the children and the elderly, there were about seven or eight people, all of them women…
These seven or eight people knew clearly what they would face after they escaped, because those who were wandering outside...

They are just a bunch of beasts, ogres who kill without blinking an eye!
But no one is afraid.

Women are weak by nature, but they also have strength hidden in their character!

“No…No!”

Meng Yi became a little anxious and quickly spoke up to stop him.

If the women ran away and were discovered by those barbarians, their fate would be much more miserable: they would inevitably be humiliated, and would be greeted with more torture.

The scene was so outrageous that just thinking about it was enough to make people furious!

"Grandpa Meng, we can all run, and we are familiar with the terrain of the city. As long as we are careful enough, nothing will happen!"

Song Zhilan said.

"You don't understand! They have many tricks and are very cunning! Little girls... are ignorant of the ways of the world and can be easily fooled!"

Qiu Chundao, the captain of the Yue cavalry.

"That's right!"

Beside him, someone nodded as well.

"Nothing will happen! If you really encounter one, the worst that can happen is to hide first."

"Wait until dark and come back. We are familiar with this city!"

"Let us go! Grandpa Meng won't last long like this!"

“More people means more strength!”

"..."

Each of them was begging desperately, with extremely uneasy expressions on their faces.

They had no choice but to watch helplessly as the familiar yet old faces gradually disappeared.

"How about... just let them go? At worst, I can protect them then..."

Among the remaining soldiers, the only big man grinned and said.

After a long while, Guan Shurong nodded and said in a deep voice:
"You can go together. But remember, once you leave this cellar, you can only accept your fate! No matter what you encounter or see, you must stay calm! If..."

"If someone is captured, even if that person is me, you can't come to rescue! Because if we fall into the hands of those beasts, everything will be over!"

"Do you understand?"

His expression was extremely solemn as he warned word by word!

Outside this cellar, they will be greeted by an extremely cruel world where human life...

Really like a weed!

"Know!"

Song Zhilan and others nodded solemnly.

The matter was settled. A total of eighteen people went out to look for food, mostly old men, women, a few children around ten years old, and two big men.

After a careful observation, Qiu Chun found that there was no one there, so he opened the entrance to the cellar, and the group of people came out one after another cautiously.

The remaining old people stayed in the cellar, each of them with a look of worry on their face, and they were even more uneasy and worried in their hearts.

How many people will be able to come back after this trip?

"well…."

Meng Yi sighed deeply, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

As soon as they came out of the cellar, the not-too-bright sunlight sprinkled on their bodies, and even the atmosphere around them was extremely refreshing. Song Zhilan and others all showed an intoxicated look on their faces.

Being trapped inside for so long, I even forgot what it felt like to bask in the sun.…

"Be careful, we are here to find food! Don't pay attention to anything else, no matter what you see!"

"If you are caught by the enemy, it is best to commit suicide if possible! Because no one can save you!"

Guan Shurong's face was gloomy and his expression was extremely solemn.

"it is good!"

Everyone's heart sank, and they all responded in a low voice. Then they dispersed and ran everywhere to look for food.

Since the enemy broke into the city more than a month ago, a group of people have taken refuge in the cellar. This is the first time that Song Zhilan has come out.

In such a short period of time, the entire city has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it has turned into a Shura field!

The air was filled with a foul stench and mutilated corpses were everywhere. In the ditches by the roadside, corpses were piled up, with hands and feet lying on top of each other.

The blood flowed into the water, turning it into various colors. As for the pond, it had already been filled with corpses!
Occasionally, you can see the dead bodies of babies on the streets, or bodies that have been trampled by horses.
Or being trampled to death by someone's feet
What a miserable death!

There is no trace of the former prosperity, and the entire Liuzhong has become a dead city and a desolate place!
Song Zhilan wanted to cry.

For these innocent people who died in vain...
But she couldn't, and she didn't even dare to look at them for longer, because she would not be able to suppress her anger and was afraid of seeing those tragic faces.

The others felt the same way, but they could only be more cautious, fearing that they would be discovered!

These eighteen people scattered throughout the city and began searching!
Of course, there are not only Guan Shurong and other survivors in the city. Li Yuanzhong, Qiao Wei, Leng Chong and others had already considered the possibility that the city would be breached by the enemy!
Many cellars have been dug throughout the city, but not many people know exactly how many there are or where they are hidden.

Even though Guan Shurong was a military commander, he only knew about ten or so places.

Song Zhilan and the others finally understood why they were repeatedly warned: no matter what you see, don't pay any attention to it!

Some of the survivors hiding in other cellars were caught!
They were tied up and thrown on the street, wearing very thin clothes or naked, and suffered even more painful torture.

Among these people, there are old people, children, women, and white-haired soldiers...

There were only four or five guards, who were still laughing wantonly, with ferocious faces, and then they tortured them inhumanely!

"Beast! Kill me if you dare!"

"Humph! One day, my Great Yan Royal Master will arrive, and you will be punished!"

"Hahaha! Just wait!"

"Today's humiliation will be returned tenfold one day!"

Perhaps they had just been caught and still had a little strength left, and they were all cursing.

Those barbarians were probably a little impatient. They smiled sternly, walked over and whipped him a few more times.

"Snapped!"

"Clap clap clap!"

There were a few crisp sounds, so loud that it was terrifying to hear.

In an instant, the skin was torn and blood was dripping...
