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

Chapter 90: The forgotten Han army, our lives are worthless!

"Furthermore, if these people are left unkilled, they will not be grateful. They will only remember the hatred of the dead in Goguryeo, hate the Han people and the Yan Kingdom even more, and will only become enemies of the Yan Kingdom in the future."

"My Yan country is willing to bear the name of cruelty, but also to eradicate the roots and frighten all foreign races! Let them know that there is only one fate for offending the Han people, and that is...the slaughter of the clan and the annihilation of the clan!"

The last few words of Li Kuan were as if they were fished out of blood, making everyone smell the strong smell of blood.

But at this time, no one thought there was anything wrong with Li Kuan's decision.

A quarter of an hour later.

There are no more living things in the town of Domra, only countless headless corpses and towering human heads.

Li Kuan led [-] cavalry and rescued only the Han people, but did not take away any other items such as cattle and sheep.

In this battle, even the war against Goguryeo, they only focused on...surprise attack!

As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes!
Do not covet anything and do not linger lest you be surrounded by enemy forces.

Another quarter of an hour later, beacon fires were lit when the battle started in the small town of Domla, and Liaodong City came to support thousands of cavalry even at night. The leader was furious when he saw the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood in front of him.

"Damn it, who is it! Who slaughtered all my people in Goguryeo? Who has such ruthless means!!"

His eyes were scarlet, and he wanted to eat the opponent's flesh and blood and crush his bones!

Silla?
No….impossible!
As for the cavalry of Silla, how could they be their opponents in Goguryeo?
As we all know, although Silla has very powerful Liaodong war horses, the average number of people in their country is short, and most of them are not suitable to become cavalry.

This also led to their weak cavalry strength, and the entire country focused on developing infantry.

Silla's cavalry was much inferior to their Goguryeo cavalry, and it was only a little over half an hour before the beacon fire was set off in the town of Domra.

In this time, their Goguryeo cavalry could not massacre the entire town of Domra. After all, there were thousands of garrison soldiers in this town.

This also shows that the enemy army must be stronger than their Goguryeo cavalry!

who is it!

Who is it! !
Which country rushes to break ground before Tai Sui! !
The Goguryeo general's face was full of anger, and he felt that he had endless anger in his heart that he wanted to vent.

"General, look, there's a flag there!"

At this moment, some Goguryeo soldiers discovered that a black flag had replaced their Goguryeo flag and was flying there.

The Goguryeo general was stunned by this black flag. Which country does it belong to?

"General, this is the Yan Kingdom! I have seen their flag, this is the Yan Kingdom!!"

Yan country?

The Goguryeo general said angrily: "Damn it, it's a small country. My Goguryeo cavalry didn't go to flatten it. Instead, they came to provoke us. When Silla is driven back and the army presses on Yanguo, I will make them regret today and kneel in front of them." !”

He was furious, then looked at the soldiers next to him, widened his eyes and said, "Why are you still standing here? Why don't you go and remove that black flag from me, General? Do you want me to go there myself?"

"Yes...yes!" The soldier panicked and accepted the order, and hurriedly rode over.

Seeing the black flag lowering in his eyes, the Goguryeo general said with a cold face: "Yan country... damn small country!"

"Go, let Eulchi Naam lead a thousand cavalry from Liaodong City to go to the depths of the desert to rescue Wen Zhonghuan. We must find and capture the general of Yan Kingdom! I want to live, I want to let that Yan The Chinese army saw with our own eyes that they massacred our entire town in Goguryeo, so we are going to massacre Yang Kuan’s most trusted general!!”

In the battle to encircle and annihilate Xin Qiji's envoy, Goguryeo was victorious.

But some people also escaped, such as Xin Qiji.

However, only a few people escaped, so the Goguryeo cavalry army returned, but when they returned, Wen Zhonghuan was still sent to lead [-] cavalry to continue chasing Naxin Qiji.

Because through the tip-off from the generals of the Tang Dynasty, they knew that Xin Qiji was one of the top figures in the Yan Kingdom.

Even if it is a small country, the first few characters are worthy of Goguryeo's attention.

However, the domestic claims in Goguryeo, including the generals in the town of Domra, were that they were completely annihilated.

Four thousand cavalrymen, armed with intelligence, surrounded and annihilated more than 100 unsuspecting people, and some even escaped.

If this spreads out, where will the face be?

So we declared to the outside world, total annihilation!

All four thousand cavalry returned in triumph.

In fact, he also asked Wen Zhonghuan to lead five hundred cavalry to continue chasing Xin Qiji.

Wen Zhonghuan was previously ordered not to care about life or death, only his head.

but!
Now, he wants to live!
He wanted the people of Yan Kingdom to see with their own eyes that Goguryeo would pay for the tragedy in the town of Domla today with their blood!

Starting from Xin Qiji!
………………………….
the other side.

Li Kuan led five thousand cavalry. After leaving the town of Domra, he did not continue to go deep into the enemy camp, but came to the Silla camp.

"This...His Majesty the Emperor of Yan Kingdom is here in person. We are flattered!"

Silla coach Jin Hee Jung saw Li Kuan and subconsciously wanted to salute.

Li Kuan hurriedly helped Jin Xizheng up and said with a smile: "General Jin, why are you so polite?"

He helped Jin Xizheng up, greeted him with a few words, and then asked about the current war situation.

Jin Xizheng sighed and said: "We are in a state of anxiety. Our army has been attacking Liaodong City since the winter, but with little effect. This is the forward fortress of Goguryeo, and they attach great importance to it."

"And... there are many supply lines behind it. Our army tried to organize a large army to go forward, but the overall movement speed of our army seemed bloated."

"Once the number of troops is large, Liaodong City will respond quickly and send cavalry to support them. But once the number is small, there will be no threat to their supply army."

"Our Majesty the Emperor has said that if there is no further achievements in half a month, we will prepare to withdraw our troops."

Jin Xizheng still wanted to fight, but he had no choice. The army would consume an astronomical amount of food and grass for a day here, and Silla was not allowed to stand still for that long.

Li Kuan also had some understanding of the current situation and said, "General Jin, I have a gift for you."

Waving his hand, Yan Yun's Eighteenth Cavalry behind him took a flag.

"This! This is!!"

Jin Xizheng's eyes widened.

That is the flag of Goguryeo, and it is also the town of Domra.

He was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes hard to see, but no matter how he rubbed it, it was the familiar flag of the town of Domra.

But, how is this possible! !
He knew very well the defensive strength of that town, it was very tough!Their army attacked several times but could not capture it in a short time, so they were dragged to Liaodong City for reinforcements.

And Yanguo….
They, they...
stunned!

Shock!

Can't believe it!

Jin Xi looked at Li Kuan in shock.

If he remembered correctly, the scouts came to report that only five thousand cavalry came from the Yan Kingdom, but the five thousand cavalry did what ten thousand of them could not do...
What an elite army this is!

In a daze, Jin Xizheng remembered the conversation he had with Silla Emperor Jin Chunqiu.

"We are not far from the Yan Kingdom. Why not swallow the Yan Kingdom? It is not like the Liang Kingdom, which has Turkic support behind it. It is weak and weak!"

"No, the leader of that country, King Shi Chu..."

"What, King Chu! King Chu of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Ah."

"He...why didn't he stay in the Tang Dynasty and instead came to the desert?"

"I don't know, but our Silla's national policy towards the Yan Kingdom has been determined, and it is Lianhe!"

"Lianhe? It is said that the King of Chu has defeated the Turks many times. Just because of this reputation, he chose Lianhe? Maybe... he is not as powerful as the rumors say?"

"It has nothing to do with whether the rumors are true or not. I have made up my mind!"

"......."

When Jin Xizheng thought of this, he couldn't help but praise His Majesty Jin Chunqiu's wise decision to make peace. Sure enough, His Majesty was further ahead than he thought.

In the desert, there are mostly flat rivers, and the cavalry is the strongest.

He couldn't imagine what kind of terrible enemies Silla would have if it turned against the Yan Kingdom.

Thankfully, thankfully!
Li Kuan smiled and said: "As you can see, our army captured the town of Domla. No...it cannot be said that it was removed, but the town was looted."

Jin Xizheng exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yan, you...your army is so strong!"

Li Kuan laughed loudly: "Hahaha, that's natural! I am also proud of my army!"

"Okay, without further ado, General Jin, you and your people don't have to worry about other things and just try your best to attack the city. Moreover, I have brought [-] arrows to support you. You can just attack the city without any distractions. For other things, my Yanguo soldiers will do it."

"It's made, watertight!"

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

As long as his army is there, Liaodong City cannot expect any other support.

His army has a lot of cavalry, so the Yuan Dynasty style of play is better.

The Yuan Dynasty's fighting style, because most of the Yuan Dynasty used cavalry, so when they attacked a city, they did not attack it by force, but used cavalry to siege the city. Any other enemy city on the way that wanted to reinforce or send supplies would be dispersed by the Yuan Dynasty cavalry.

The surrounded city... completely became an isolated city!
They waited quietly, and then waited for the people in the city to lose supplies and surrender, or to break out of the encirclement with all their might.

No matter which outcome the city defenders choose, the city is lost!
The most important thing for this kind of warfare is that the cavalry must be strong enough, and Li Kuan's cavalry obviously has such ability.

Then, after discussing some details with Jin Heizheng, Li Kuan, led by Jin Heizheng's bodyguard, went to the camp prepared for them by Silla.

On the way, Li Kuan said: "Bai Hu, divide your people into centurions and go to the desert to find Mr. Xin."

"According to the testimony of the Goguryeo soldiers in the town of Domra, they drove Mr. Xin there."

General Baihu was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, do you think... he is still alive?"

He remembered that those Goguryeo soldiers said that they had completely wiped out the Xin Qiji envoy.

When Li Kuan heard this, he did not answer immediately. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the bright starry sky: "What if... you are alive?"

General Baihu smiled bitterly: "That's true, just in case Mr. Xin is still alive, he will also need our help."

Li Kuan smiled and said: "So, go ahead and make arrangements. It doesn't matter if our army has 100 more people, and it doesn't matter if we have 100 less people."

General Baihu nodded and then went down to make arrangements.

After he left, Li Kuan closed his eyes and rested in the tent.

If you want to rely on five thousand cavalry to block the troops and supplies coming to aid Liaodong City, the task is arduous. If you can sleep for a while, it will be a while...
While taking a nap, Li Kuan was still mumbling.

"There is a traitor among the generals of the Tang Dynasty."

"Is it because everyone has rebelled, or...doesn't want to see a truce between our country, Yan, and the Tang Dynasty..."

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes slightly, the current situation was really... getting more and more unpredictable.

………………………….
Deeper in the desert.

It is sparsely populated and has a harsh environment, as if it were a forgotten place.

Amid the noisy wind, there was still a big, tattered flag standing.

"Begging for a living"!
Begging for work!

Just the word "begging" stands in this desert, and there is a strong sense of vicissitudes and sadness.

It's like weeping blood and moaning to the sky again, even the heaven and earth seem to change color.

In fact, in the long history of history, the beggar army has long appeared on the land of the Han family.

They were brave, fearless and ferocious. When the barbarians were wreaking havoc on the Central Plains and moving south, they resolutely raised the banner of resistance and fought tenaciously in the north.

This is a...forgotten lone army!

The world is good at forgetting. This is nothing. Everyone has even forgotten the original intention of the begging army...
In troubled times, beg for food and survive!
This is an army composed of refugees. They are extremely brave and fearless of death. They have been fighting on the land of China for a hundred years!
Every battle fought by the beggar army is extremely difficult, with less defeating more, it is extremely tragic!
They are regarded as ants, but they are extremely tenacious and kill the foreigners with fear. They also love that hot land, but they are called "live-begging thieves" by their tribesmen and are looked down upon by others...
But they are still the ones who have been fighting on the front line, fighting for the dignity of the Han family, and refusing to cross the river south!
This beggar army in the deepest part of the desert has also been fighting in the desert for nearly a hundred years on this land of Turks, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Tubo!Most of them are common people, nobles, civil servants and generals who were kidnapped by Turkic barbarians. Some of them are the relics of the former Sui Dynasty, or even older ones...
Northern and Southern Dynasties period!
If we go back further in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it will be the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, that is, the Central Plains were lost, and the children of the Han family were brutally slaughtered, almost to the point of extinction...
That...an extremely dark and turbulent era!
That is a piece of history that has been buried in the dust. No one wants to mention it. Just thinking about it makes you feel extremely heartbroken!

In a somewhat shabby tent.

An old man who is senile but still energetic is pacing.

His name is Xin Yuan, and he was kidnapped to the desert when he was young. His father was a high-ranking official in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. After arriving in the desert, he formed a begging army.

Begging for work!

Now he is not only living for himself, but also to provide a place of refuge for those tribesmen who were captured here and are still determined to resist.

In this desolate desert...live!

This is a group of lunatics. Although there are only 500 people, including old, weak, women and children, and lack of sophisticated equipment and horses, under normal circumstances, other enemy countries will not provoke them.

The purpose of this beggar army is to stay alive. Who would... look for them if nothing happens?

Xin Yuan is now considered a handsome beggar, but he has long been hidden behind the scenes.

"Simber!"

A big man in ragged clothes hurried in, looking a little flustered.

"What happened?" Xin Yuan frowned.

"There is news from the front that more than 500 Goguryeo cavalry are chasing a Han general in white and running towards us!"

Lin Xunyi gasped.

"Do you know his identity?" Xin An pondered.

Lin Xunyi shook his head: "I can't tell. He doesn't look like a general from the Tang Dynasty, but... he is definitely a Han general. We have long remembered the faces of the Han people."

The voice fell.

Silence spread.

After a while, Xin Yuan's face turned solemn: "General of the Han family, if you go back alive, you will be able to protect the people of a city for the last time, which is more precious than our lives."

"Go! Save him at all costs!"

Lin Xunyi muttered: "Okay!"

He didn't hesitate and left quickly after speaking.

"Who could it be? At this juncture, Goguryeo is at war with Silla. How could he provoke so many Goguryeo dogs..."

Xin Yuan stroked his gray beard, his eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

But no matter what, this person's identity is not simple, which is why Goguryeo's powerful enemy is facing him, and he allocates his troops to kill him quickly.

It was right to save him!

Shaking his head, Xin Yuan didn't think much about it. He believed in Lin Xunyi's ability to do things, and looked in one direction again, with a trace of memory flashing through his muddy old eyes.

There, there is a spiritual tablet.

The spiritual throne of Ran Min, the king of Wu mourning!
That year, King Ran Min led the army of beggars to break through and failed, and was captured by Murong Jun. He was killed in the Nexing Mountain, and then his body was abandoned in the wilderness, and he ended up with no body left...
Descendants endured their grief and built a tomb for him!

But in fact, no one knew that Ran Min's bones had been kept in the Xin family.

Xin Yuan's great-grandfather once served under Ran Min's account. He had always been loyal and risked his life to smuggle his body back.

The Xin family is the guardian of the tomb of King Ran Min, the last seed of the begging army!

Ran Min's bones are buried near here, and there is a solitary grave there. His soul is here, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city...
Sleep peacefully!

this is….
The loyal soul of the Han family!

It's just... As times have changed and time has passed, his generation, which once had 5000 to [-] beggar soldiers, has gradually withered away, and not many people recognize their ideas.

They may be the last... begging army! .
…………………….
Dusk is approaching.

A man in white is riding a horse unsteadily while walking in the desert. He may fall off at any time.

He was seriously injured, with dried blood all over his body, and his lips were severely chapped. A strand of hair fell lonely in front of his forehead, looking melancholy and weak.

Behind him, there were more than ten Goguryeo cavalry, one of whom was responsible for turning back, while the others were fighting towards him.

These five hundred Goguryeo cavalry were searching for someone in the desert, and they were divided into dozens of groups to look for him.

At this moment, the team found that the person who left was to tell Wen Zhonghuan, and the others... were motivated by their military exploits!

They saw the fatigue and end of the man in white!

They... all want to win the first prize.

And the first achievement can only be done by one person!
"here we go again."

The man in white sighed, waved the spear in his hand slightly tiredly, and danced with a very beautiful gun flower.

Get ready for the enemy!

Yet at this moment.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

There was a sound of bows and arrows, and an "army" dressed like beggars and in ragged clothes came out to kill...
"But the general of the Han family?"

A burly man holding a long knife came to kill with great momentum.

There are only a few dozen people in this team, and their equipment is extremely rudimentary, but their morale is high and they are so murderous that no one dares to underestimate them.

A general from the Han family….
The man in white had some confusion in his eyes, and his thoughts couldn't help but think of the voices in his head.

"General, let's go!"

"Mr. Xin, stay alive...to avenge me!"

"......."

Every sound, every word, just thinking about it gives the man in white a splitting headache.

He clutched his head in pain.

Just when the beggar army was at a loss, the man in white turned around slightly and said, "I should be the one."

He wasn't sure.

Lin Xunyi was slightly startled, and looked at the man in white carefully. The clothes fit him perfectly, and he was expected to be the real one, not a counterfeit.

He could tell that the man in white was in something wrong, but he thought to himself that it had something to do with the man in white's killing spree.

Take a deep breath and stop thinking about it.

"My name is Lin Xunyi, general, please come with me!"

With the help of these people, the man in white quickly relieved the siege and went straight to the depths of the desert. However, the Goguryeo cavalry who had gone to report earlier had already led Wen Zhonghuan's two hundred cavalry and was firmly behind.

"You are…."

The man in white frowned and glanced at the tattered banner again: "Begging for a living!"

"They are just a bunch of forgotten and even despised bones of the Han family. General, don't worry, we have no ill intentions." Lin Xunyi said with a smile.

Deep in Mobei, there are many Han people who have long been forgotten.

However, they have never forgotten their identity, and still carry the pride of being the sons and daughters of the Han family, in this harsh environment...

Survive between the cracks!

Just the word "begging for a living" is enough to make people cry!
They have not forgotten their roots, nor have they given up the pride etched in their bones. They were born as Han people and died as Han people...
Han Soul!

I don't know why, but when he saw this group of people, the man in white felt an inexplicable bitterness in his heart.

The survivors of the Han family….
Han family, what is it?
His eyes were full of confusion, but when he was confused, he couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to cry. The two words "Han family" seemed to touch the softest place in his heart.

"General, Brother Lin, take care!"

A man with a broken left arm said and touched the horse's head. His eyes were full of affection, and then he slowed down and jumped off the horse.

"let's go!"

As soon as he slapped the horse's butt, Huang Chong's horse neighed and caught up with the large army again, while the man stayed in the distance, his eyes full of nostalgia.

The man in white frowned, and just as he was wondering, a few more people followed suit and stood up...
"Take care of yourself!"

They were all disabled and had solemn expressions on their faces. They followed the same pattern as the man and left themselves behind, while the horses followed closely.

The equipment of the beggar army is poor to begin with, and horses are even more scarce. They are even worth more than human lives, so how can they be easily damaged?
"You...you guys?"

The man in white was breathing quickly and his eyes were red. He understood something.

These people stay to delay time, which is to die!

"General, don't worry too much. Our lives... are worthless. It's worth replacing them with another one!"

This was an extremely young person with an extremely hideous scar on his right eye. He showed an extremely bright smile and, like those people, jumped off the horse...
No regrets, no hesitation!
Because this is fate!
The begging army, using their broken bodies to beg for life from the sky, can only protect the peace of the tribe!
The man in white turned the horse's head and wanted to go back, but was stopped by Lin Xunyi. His eyes were full of sorrow: "Don't... don't let them die in vain!"

The voice is hoarse and sad, making people feel uneasy when listening to it.

The man in white didn't insist anymore, sighed, and his eyes were a little moist.

After fighting for a long time, he was already exhausted and couldn't save himself, so what could he do?

"drive!"

No one in this army of beggars looked back. Perhaps they had already gotten used to it, but the corners of some people's eyes were already wet, and there was a deep sense of sadness in the air...
If you are trying to survive in this desert, your life has already been put aside!

Those few people quickly formed a battle formation and stayed firmly in place, not allowing anyone to pass.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the yellow sand was clear!

Those arrogant figures quickly disappeared, but the man in white knew that their heroic souls had already been cast into the backbone of the Han family.

This is a spirit passed down from generation to generation, which also allows more and more children of the Han family to straighten their backs.

If you don’t have to lower your head to be a human being, why bother looking at the faces of foreigners?

As a Han Chinese, you should be proud!

"General, I don't know, who are you and where are you from?"

On the way, Lin Xunyi couldn't help but ask.

Who is it, where is it from….
The man in white couldn't help but his thoughts drifted away. In an instant, the sound that lingered in his mind came again.

"General, let's go!"

"Mr. Xin, stay alive and go see His Highness!"

"..."

Every sound, every word, and the faces that looked as if they were dead gave the man in white a splitting headache again.

But he was still trying to think.

"General?"

Lin Xunyi saw something was wrong.

The man in white clothes was in pain, and after a long while he tremblingly said: "I don't know, I don't know who I am, and I don't know where I come from."

"But...but they seem to call me Mr. Xin, as if...they want me to go home..."

"It seems that I also... I also want to take them home. I... Do I have this idea? I don't know, I don't know..."
.
…………………….
ps: Friends, I caught a cold today, that’s all.

I would also like to thank the lonely patient Lao Liu for the 1888 book coins reward, thank you! !

Thank you to Pure Heart Hen for the 100 book coin reward, thank you! !
