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

After resting for two or three days, everyone is full of energy!

People who travel with me...

Chen Qian, Zhou Zheng, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun!
Mu Yu, the leader, was accompanied by several veterans including Wei Liang and Guan Shurong, Zhang Ying and one hundred of his most elite Black Armored Soldiers.

Xue Yong, Guan Tao and four other generals, and a hundred Xiliang cavalrymen!

That’s about all the people there are!

The rest of the people stayed in Yicheng, including Governor Leng and a dozen Xuanjia soldiers.

With the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's generals in charge, there's no need to worry.

As for Kunjie's remaining nearly 10,000 troops, they had already withdrawn overnight the night after the battle, each of them running faster than rabbits.

I have to say that Mu Yu can be regarded as a living map of the Western Regions. This chess piece is extremely useful!
He did not lead his group to climb the Longluo Mountain. Instead, they took a very remote path. Although it was extremely difficult to walk, it saved a lot of time!

Moreover, they took shortcuts along the way, some of which were so good that even Liang Bo and others were not very familiar with them.

In less than five days, they reached the Altai Mountains, where they could overlook the entire basin and even vaguely see the densely packed cities below!

"Keng!"

Crescent-shaped scimitars were unsheathed, and everyone was wiping their weapons and putting them away.

I'm afraid no one can tell how many countries are living in this huge basin.

After all, the area is really too large, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles...

After careful selection, at least thirteen countries will be liquidated this time, almost half of the countries, and they are all the ones that were more arrogant in the past.

Doing so many evil things!

Li Kuan's general plan was: first run to the westernmost Cheshi Kingdom, then fight all the way back to Yicheng and sweep across!

This huge Junggar Basin will also set off a bloody massacre because of his arrival, and also make the entire Western Region...
Everyone trembled!
With Mu Yu leading the way, things became much easier.

The group headed westward along the Altai Mountains. After walking for about two or three days, they could vaguely see a corner of the Tianshan Mountains, so they stopped.

The biting cold wind is still howling, and snowflakes can be seen falling from time to time!

The moon is dark and the wind is strong, it is a rare night for murder!
Fang Tian Hua Ji, War Spear, Crescent Moon Scimitar, Mo Dao...

The bloodthirsty and murderous weapons were glowing coldly in the pale moonlight!

What will follow will be...

A feast of killing!
……

Cheshi State, Jiaohe City.

This country is not small, with more than a dozen cities and a population of nearly 100,000. The ruler, Kalon, is in his forties and is an ambitious man.

He is also arrogant and wants to expand his territory!
What’s even more terrifying is that this guy is an extreme nationalist with an innate and inexplicable sense of superiority, believing that the Cheshi people are the most superior race.

Once this type of people become decision makers, they often bring about a huge disaster!

Kalon was also extremely hostile to foreigners and was very xenophobic. He drove out all the foreigners who settled in the territory and imprisoned the Han people.

And the people I hate the most are the Han people!
The reason is simple, it is nothing more than jealousy. The more you fear something, the more you want to destroy it. However...
He can only jump around in this palm-sized area!

Arrogant and self-centered, he only sees the world from within a well!
royal palace.

Kalon was hosting a dinner party and had invited dozens of nobles in the city to prepare for a grand celebration.

He was still feeling complacent about being able to rely on Kucha, and thought it was the wisest decision he had ever made in his life.

The news of Kunjie's defeat has not yet arrived. If we calculate according to the time, and if nothing unexpected happens, the entire Yizhou will soon be taken...
At that time, it will be a meeting for the countries to divide the spoils, which will bring many benefits to the Cheshi Kingdom!
It can be considered as an early celebration!
Kalon had long coveted those magical weapons.

What he found ridiculous was that these gifts from heaven were actually regarded as gimmicks and tricks by those lowly Han people?
What a stupid race they are, they just love to waste things!

There was toasting and chatting in the hall, and it looked quite lively. The nobles were all flattering Kalon and the Right Wise King Sha Yuan.

This Sha Yuan led his troops out for a trip and successively conquered the two Han cities of Liuzhong and Shule, and brought back more than 30 prisoners. How amazing was that?
After he came back, he was promoted four ranks, and his status was second only to the king Kalon and the Left Wise King. He was very arrogant and popular.

"You Xian Wang is brave and courageous. He defeated those foolish Han people and made them lose their army. You are worthy of being the right-hand man of the king. The future of Cheshi State depends on you."

"Come! I'll give you a toast!"

Zuo Xian Wang laughed.

He was Kalon's uncle, and his seniority and reputation in the royal family were extremely high, but he had to bow to Sha Yuan.

You are too polite, old wise king! "

Although Sha Yuan had a violent temper, he still knew his limits. He stood up quickly and drank the wine in his glass.

"Hahaha, okay, okay!"

Kalon also laughed, and the other nobles continued to make compliments.

In fact, this time Sha Yuan at best captured Shule City, with heavy casualties. As for occupying Liuzhong City, he only contributed a small part.

With such a small amount of military merit, if it were in the Tang Dynasty, the military rank below the seventh rank would be promoted to the first rank at most, and between the seventh and fifth ranks, a little money would be rewarded...

For those above the fifth rank, they would be embarrassed to report such a small achievement and might even be reprimanded, after all, so many soldiers were killed.

If you look closely, you will find that Sha Yuan lied about his military achievements, boasting that he was extremely brave and had repeatedly defeated the enemy.

His approach actually works in Cheshi. After all, there is a demand for it and people here are in desperate need of a hero!
If a race becomes arrogant to a certain extent and fails to fully recognize itself, it will blindly worship others and the whole country will become brain-dead.…

Even if it is just a small achievement and no contribution, it will be exaggerated and there will be a lot of fanatical supporters!
Hopeless!

The Cheshi Kingdom is in this situation!
Kalon wanted to create a supreme sense of racial superiority and was extremely boastful. He even once declared that the people of the Central Plains were once slaves of the Cheshi Kingdom and only later escaped!

The culture, civilization, magic weapons, etc. originally belonged to the Cheshi Kingdom, but were stolen by those untouchables...
That's why there is so much hatred here!
The palace was bustling with activity, and everyone was drinking happily. On the other side…
South Gate.

A group of people are approaching!

The entire Jiaohe City was almost entirely excavated from natural soil and appears to be a single entity. However, because of this, the outer city does not have much defensive power.

"Oh!"

Li Kuan smashed the city gate with his spear, smashing the gate, which was only about one or two meters high, into pieces.

"Who?"

The dozen or so Cheshi soldiers guarding the gate were still drowsy. When they heard the noise, they were startled and shouted loudly.

"Da da da!"

In the quiet night, there was a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds!

In just a short while, a dozen black knights rushed over with their crescent-shaped scimitars shining with cold light!

Seeing those indifferent and ruthless gazes, they were all frightened and stood there in a daze:
“You…you guys!”

"enemy.…"

One of them was more clever and wanted to yell, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a silver arrow flew through the air.
"Kill!" "Kill!"

Li Kuan gave a low shout and rushed into the city holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji. The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun had already slaughtered the dozen or so soldiers of Cheshi State.

Chen Qian, Zhou Zheng and others also filed in!

Jiaohe City, the capital of Cheshi State, is like an undefended city at this moment, and will be baptized by blood tonight.

The city is located in a relatively dangerous area, surrounded by rivers, like a large ship on a cliff, heading southeast!
The east, west and north sides are all close to cliffs, and the Jiaohe River flows on the south. It can be said to be a natural barrier and there is no need to build city walls.

As for the structure, it is also quite strange. It is an earthen city, excavated from natural mud, and it only has the south gate and the east gate.
In fact, there is only one city gate!
Because the east gate is through the river, and since the water of Jiaohe River was blocked, all that is left there is the cliff.

The area divisions within the city are also very clear!

Residential areas, government office areas, burial areas, aristocratic areas, etc. are all clearly distinguished!
After entering the city, the group was divided into two teams: fifty riders ambushed at the south gate to intercept the escaping big fish.

Li Kuan led the remaining troops and headed straight to the southwest. At the end was the burial area where the Nightmare Prison was located.

The moonlight is dim.

Nightmare!

This is actually a large dungeon located underground, which once held thousands of people!
The environment is extremely dark and damp, and it exudes a disgusting stench. On normal days, no one is willing to come here.

Despite this, the king Kalon also deployed heavy troops and stationed several teams within a radius of three or four miles, estimated to have about a thousand people.

This is to prevent someone from breaking into the prison!
If there is any unusual movement in the prison, they can surround them immediately!

Now, there are only about twenty people still alive in the dungeon, and they all look pale and listless...
Looks like he's going to die soon!
These people were wearing very thin clothes. Soaking in the water on this freezing day, the biting cold penetrated into their spinal cords...
In addition, many people had injuries to varying degrees, and they were able to survive in such a situation, which was considered extremely tenacious.

In fact, they just don’t dare to die so easily!
"Alive..."

"go back!"

"You must go back to your hometown and take a look for us!"

Those figures buried in the sea of ​​fire, those extremely familiar faces, and those earnest instructions.

It makes these people feel heartbroken!
them.…

How could I bear to let those people down?

"Mr. Tan, how are you?"

An old man with a full beard said weakly.

"I can't... die yet!" Tan Qing was also weak.

"Hey...hey, I know you're lucky!"

Ge Dahai smiled foolishly and cursed: "Those bastards, they still think they can outlast us? Wishful thinking! Hahahaha..."

He opened his mouth and wanted to laugh, but before he could laugh a few times, he accidentally pulled the wound and grimaced in pain!
There is such a rule in this Nightmare Prison!
Even if there were people imprisoned in the dungeon, there would be more than a dozen jailers watching over them. However, in such a stinking hellish place...

Who is willing to stay longer?

It is not easy to earn a living. If you are exiled here, you will certainly suffer terribly, which is much worse than guarding a toilet!

"Snow, it's snowing!"

Suddenly someone shouted in surprise.

The noise startled the others. They raised their heads, opened their mouths wide, licked their dry lips, and prepared to catch the falling snowflakes.

Even though they were in a water dungeon, no one dared to drink the turbid water!

Not to mention the strange smell, just seeing the greasy appearance, no one dared to eat it, after all, in this place...
But many dead bodies floated by!

Perhaps in order to torture these twenty people to death as quickly as possible, the jailers locked them up in an open-air water dungeon.

Withstand wind, sun, rain...

As for food and drink, there is no need to mention it. I can only feed them when I remember. It is even worse than raising a bunch of livestock.

Tan Qing and others hadn't had water for a long time, and only when it snowed could they catch some snowflakes to moisten their lips.

Some people even closed their eyes and chewed slowly, as if it was sweet rain entering their throats, with an expression of enjoyment on their faces.

Suddenly, a warm feeling came, mixed with a strong fishy smell, and these people opened their eyes at the same time.

Three people were peeing on it, and four or five others were watching the fun nearby.

"Hehehe! These two-legged sheep finally reacted!"

"Haha, my urine tastes good, doesn't it? You guys got a bargain!"

"I hate these bastards the most! They waste my time..."

"..."

Everyone was laughing wildly, as if being able to torture the prisoners imprisoned in the dungeon below was a very happy thing.

"Too deceiving!"

Ge Dahai clenched his fists, his face turning pale.

"Humph! Old man, what if I bully you? Do you really take yourself seriously?"

"You are just a bunch of bastards! You still have extravagant hopes and want to escape? Why don't you ask if there are any who have survived since this water dungeon was built?"

"So these Han people are all mentally ill. Why do they insist on doing this? It's just a waste of time!"

The prison bosses continued to ridicule them, trying to undermine the beliefs of Tan Qing and others.

No one replied!
The twenty or so prisoners also fell silent.

They actually knew that there was no possibility of survival.
The people stationed outside are not vegetarians.

This hell...

Whoever breaks in will die!
But, they are just unwilling to give in!
Only by trying your best to survive, you can face those old brothers even on the road to the underworld.

I really tried my best.…

"Da da da!"

A crisp sound of horse hooves rang out from far away.
"Who?"

"Enemy...enemy attack!"

"Quick! Go and inform..."

"I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender! Please don't kill me!

"..."

The jailers seemed extremely panicked, and there was a commotion from above, causing Tan Qing and the others to look at each other in bewilderment. (End of this chapter)
