My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 683 Times have changed...

The blood congealed in the snow.

The scarlet color formed a huge patch in the white sky and earth. Groups of prisoners with their hands tied were escorted to kneel in the snow.

Then, the Satsuma soldiers came forward with swords drawn and chopped off the heads one by one.

Dian Wei, dressed in iron armor, glanced from a distance, took a step forward, kicked a head that bounced off the ground, and smashed it against a wooden pillar in the camp, leaving a bloody mark. The skull and fur were instantly splashed all over.

"Go tell the Samos over there not to disturb His Majesty." The giant man's voice was like thunder.

When he turned around, he saw soldiers from the Shenji Camp wearing cotton armor. They were carrying firearms and were led by Commander Liu Sheng, following behind Su Chen.

Half a step behind on the left and right sides were Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and Guo Jia.

A little further back was a pushed tricycle with King Arthur's huge stone head placed in the bed.

His eyes kept scanning the surroundings and the corpses with their heads chopped off on the execution ground in the distance.

These were the Sakpruit soldiers captured after entering the eastern and central regions of Europe, and they were also under Arthur's command.

During the half-month battle, Sakpruit's organized army was defeated, and under the propaganda of Satsuma Emperor Adar, a large number of Sakpruit soldiers finally chose to surrender.

As time went by, large-scale battles became less and less frequent, and there were not many Sakpruit troops left who could resist, squeezed by Huo Qubing, Zhou Yu and Han Xin.

Among them, the Satsuma army was deeply influenced by the Eastern Seres. They overcame their fear of the Sakpruit army, and their way of fighting and the duration of facing the enemy far surpassed the original Satsuma Empire army.

Most of the battles in Ophiro were between the Satsuma army and the Sakpruit Empire. Only when the other side showed cavalry would the Eastern army here send the same number of cavalry into the battlefield.

When the royal prince of Sakpruit, who wanted to take advantage of the cold winter and the assassin, gave the order.

Su Chen, Zhuge Liang and the other two came to the central region of Ophir. At the same time, a large number of Samoan scholars and military clerks who were doing translations wrote documents of surrender and distributed them crazily to the civilians of the Sakprut Empire and the barbarians who obeyed this empire.

Tell them that as long as they surrender and open the city gates, they will become citizens of the new country in the future, have fields and houses, and enjoy the rights that citizens should have...

Everything proceeded in an orderly manner. After the large-scale fighting ended, small-scale battles and assassinations would continue for some time.

Su Chen was not afraid at all. Taking advantage of the fact that the heavy snow had stopped after two consecutive days, he took Zhuge Liang and others out of the military camp to the fields to bask in the sun.

Dian Wei, Xu Chu, An Lushan, Liu Sheng and Wu Zixun all followed behind him.

The sunlight without any warmth shone through the gaps in the clouds and illuminated the earth. In everyone's field of vision, many Sakpruit civilians of all kinds could be seen on the distant roads, snow-covered mountain foothills, and fields. After they chose to surrender, Adar did not make things difficult for them. Instead, he gave them trust and allowed them to clear the snow on the roads and fields.

Occasionally, one could see soldiers or centurions wearing Sakpruit Empire uniforms choosing to join the Samian army.

The empire has no way out. The greatest kings have all been beheaded. As ordinary people, some choose to continue fighting, while others choose to fight for themselves and their families.

"...There is no need to wait any longer. If a person cannot even see the situation clearly, then he is not worth surrendering to. I don't have much time to waste here."

In the sunshine, Su Chen dragged his cloak, put his hands behind his back, and watched the bustling crowd coming and going in the distance. "Mercy has been given to them. Those who are unwilling to surrender will be sent to see their Sakprut."

Yesterday evening, Zhou Yu sent a messenger to say that Sefabin, the last city in western Europe, had been captured by him and Gan Ning and was only one step away from the central region of Europe.

The wind and snow brushed across my face.

"The Satsuma people obey the emperor's call until death!"

The fluffy brown hair fluttered in the cold wind. Adal, who followed, took off his crown and responded with his head lowered towards the back of the figure in front of him with his hands behind his back.

"I will hand over Ophiro and even the entire Sakprut Empire to your Majesty's hands."

He was a general of Samo and now the emperor of Samo. The hatred for the invasion of the Sakpruits seemed to flow in his veins and burn his whole body.

Su Chen looked back at him without saying anything. After a long time, he smiled and nodded.

"By the way, I have sent a fast horse to accompany Bainani back to Xizhou..." There was naturally another meaning in Su Chen's eyes. Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia were all people of similar stature, and they all roughly understood what the emperor was going to do.

"Qin Hui is very good at dealing with people, so it's a good idea to let him do this. But I'm worried about the Crown Prince." Guo Jia has stayed in Yanjing the longest, and he knows the Crown Prince's honest character very well. He is only a few years old, but he has been assigned a big event right away. The Queen might even be frightened out of her body.

"There are still many generals over there. I will inform them one by one." Just as Su Chen sent Emperor Satsuma away, the latter had not taken ten steps when chaos suddenly arose in the northwest direction. In the distance, someone screamed "Ah!"

The golden boots stepped into the snow and then stopped. Su Chen, who was speaking, tilted his head and looked in the direction of the voice.

The people who followed also looked over there.

In the distance, the people of Sakprut who were originally clearing the snow started to cause chaos. The crowd ran in panic, shouting and crying mixed together. At the same time, thousands of figures broke through the running people and killed towards Su Chen.

Su Chen's expression was calm, and even the people around him looked indifferent as well. While talking, they continued to walk slowly forward in the winter sun.

A 200-man Mongolian light cavalry stationed nearby was already fighting with the attacking Sakprut army.

The Mongolian light cavalry were on patrol and shooting arrows. The army was dressed in different kinds of clothing and armor and was extremely agile. They used shields to protect themselves from arrows shot from the side. These people had outstanding martial arts skills and the arrows shot by the Mongolian light cavalry did not cause them any harm.

The team spread across the fields and roads, and almost all the Sakprut people who blocked the way were chopped to pieces by them, leaving a pile of corpses. They then ran away at full speed under the arrows of the Mongolian light cavalry.

The Satsuma infantry came from all directions, and a fierce fight broke out. This team, composed of rangers, veterans, and elite swordsmen, launched a fierce raid.

The Satsuma soldiers held their shields and rushed towards the group of lunatics. At the same time, figures fiercely slammed into the shields. The shouts of fighting rang out instantly, and the fierce collision seemed to shake the earth.

Although Adar had experienced several wars, the imperial majesty he had maintained became weak when he saw the tiger-like Sakprut Death Squad charging over his soldiers without regard for their lives.

I couldn't help but lean towards Su Chen.

"Your Majesty... they are coming."

Su Chen was tall, and his handsome profile looked indifferent in the winter light. He waved his hand lightly.

"An emperor should have the bearing of an emperor. It's not good to be so flustered." Su Chen stopped and patted Emperor Satsuma on the shoulder: "You are not my son. Don't think that I need to solve everything. How can I be at ease and leave the West to you in the future?"

Adar was stunned for a moment, then his face turned visibly red, his breathing became rapid, and he slowly bent his knees in front of Su Chen.

On the cart bed, King Arthur's head was being pushed forward, watching this scene.

"Eastern Emperor, no matter how powerful your military is or how many other tricks you use, you will not succeed in taking this world into your hands. Look! They will constantly oppose you and try to assassinate you. As long as you are here, you may die inexplicably in your bed."

The stone head spoke in a very unhappy tone, but was also quite excited that Emperor Ceres was humiliated by this group of assassins.

Although he knew that he could not do anything to Emperor Ceres.

The boiling sound of fighting reached the sky, and a surging crowd spread out. Su Chen helped Adar up while speaking, and put the crown that had fallen on the ground on his head.

"Times have changed, Arthur!"

To the northwest, less than twenty feet away, several swordsmen, veterans, and rangers who rushed over first raised their blades and iron spears and roared, "Kill Emperor Seris!"

The moment when Suchen put the crown on A'dal.

The soldiers from the Shenji Camp stepped forward and stood in two rows. At Liu Sheng's gesture, the soldiers in the front row squatted down and raised their muskets together with the soldiers in the back row.

Bang bang bang!
Smoke rose and flames flickered wildly. The dozen or so soldiers from the Sakprut Death Battalion who rushed in first fell one after another. The soldiers from the second Shenji Battalion quickly stepped forward to replace their comrades who had fired their muskets.

Bang bang bang! !

One after another, figures holding weapons and running wildly fell on the road of charge, and the blood formed small streams and gathered into patches, rendering a shocking red color.

"King Arthur, your thoughts are still stuck in the ancient times. Even if you become a god, you are still an old god who is not adaptable and will be eliminated sooner or later."

Su Chen looked at the piles of corpses and the last few soldiers of the Sakprut Death Battalion. He raised his hand and said, "I don't want to see any living enemies."

A major purge ensued.

At the same time, several cavalrymen were sent out, carrying orders from Emperor Daxia, and set out on a journey back to the East with the camel caravan from the Ye Lan Kingdom in the Western Regions.

We crossed the snowfields, climbed over mountains, lakes, deserts... and arrived at Xizhou. We turned east and traveled under the stars and moon across the Xirong grassland. It was already May of the following year.
