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

"Reporting to the general, there is indeed no defense force in the city. I think those troops have already entered the hinterland."

The next person, Du Ruyan, was among them. Although she was a little confused, she believed what she saw.

"…In that case, let the army take over the city and rest for a while! Also, send out all the scouts and keep a close eye on the surrounding situation! Report to me immediately if there is any disturbance!"

Xin Qiji pondered for a moment, then shook his head and stopped delving into the reasons.

Even if there are some bad signs or some conspiracy!
For the 200,000-strong Da Yan Central Army behind them, it was all in vain!

"Report one—"

Just when the generals were about to leave to make arrangements, a scout ran hurriedly into the camp.

"Report to the general! There are thousands of Goguryeo soldiers setting up camp in a canyon on the east side of Myohyang Mountain!"

The scout saluted and spoke to Xin Qiji without hesitation.

"Hmm? There are Goguryeo troops at Myohyang Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Qiji was a little confused. What was the Goguryeo army up to?

It's fine if we just leave the city undefended! But we have to set up camp in the wilderness not far from this city?
Could it be that there is really some conspiracy?
"Have you found out their intentions? Are there only a few thousand Goguryeo soldiers around?"

"Reporting to the general, we have not found any traces of other Goguryeo troops, and the group of several thousand Goguryeo soldiers is in a hurry. The soldiers are exhausted, and the tents are in disarray. It doesn't look like they came prepared."

"Okay...you can go down."

Xin Qiji did not intend to continue asking, thinking that further asking would not yield any more information, but his brows furrowed even deeper.

If the Goguryeo army really came prepared, why is this the case?

"How about I lead my soldiers to capture this Goguryeo soldier first?"

A female general stepped forward, walked out from the side of a group of generals, and volunteered to serve Xin Qiji.

"No! Let's wait until the army in the rear arrives here before making a decision."

Xin Qiji raised his head and glanced at Han Ruxue. This matter seemed strange and full of conspiracy.

If there is an ambush over there, wouldn't Han Ruxue be walking into a trap if he led the troops there?

Before leaving, Li Kuan specifically instructed her to take good care of her!
"General! These thousands of Goguryeo soldiers are right before our eyes. We can't just let them leave right under our noses."

There was not much worry on the female general's face. With the protection of the army in the rear, why would she be afraid?

"Let's send scouts to find out the situation first... If there's no ambush nearby, we can make plans later."

Two hours later, scouts who were scattered in various directions brought back news one after another, confirming that there was nothing unusual within ten miles of Miaoxiang Mountain.

So, the female general led eight thousand Dayan soldiers to kill those thousands of Goguryeo soldiers.

Fifteen miles away, in front of a small hill, there were 150,000 troops densely packed together!
Everyone's mental state is good! There is no sign of defeat at all!
If Chen Qingzhi were here, he would definitely see that the commander of this army is Yeon Gaesomun!

"What's the situation over there?"

I don’t know if Yeon Gaesomun has forgotten that naval battle. Today, he is still as high-spirited as before.

General! Over there..."

A general beside him reported the latest situation to him.

"Attack! I want to let the people of Da Yan know! I, Goguryeo, am not a soft persimmon. I can't be squeezed by anyone who wants to!"

Yeon Gaesomun drew out the long sword in his hand and pointed it in the direction of Myohyang Mountain.

All of a sudden, the army was out, and smoke and dust were rolling!
A huge net spread out by 150,000 troops was quietly surrounding the 50,000 troops led by Chen Qianzhi!

Not long after, in the canyon in front of Myohyang Mountain, Han Ruxue's army encountered the Goguryeo army.

Because of the advantage in numbers, Dayan gained some advantages.

“…How could this happen?”

Even though her men had gained the advantage, Han Ruxue was not happy at all.

The reason is simple: the Goguryeo soldiers on the opposite side did not show any signs of fatigue at all!
They were not part of the fleeing army!
"Quick and decisive! Don't waste time!"

The female general was a little upset. She urged the generals beside her and rushed forward with a sword in hand to fight.

"You, Dayan girl, are so pretty! How can a woman like you go to the battlefield instead of staying at home? In such a dangerous place, is there no one who loves you? Otherwise, let this general love you well?"

Opposite the female general, a bearded Goguryeo general looked her up and down with lust in his eyes.

"court death!"

The female general gave a light scold, and the long sword she swung in her hand was her most powerful rebuttal.

"Swish—"

She seized the opportunity and stabbed with her sword, and the general quickly dodged to the side to avoid the vital point.

But there was an extra wound on his arm.

"What! Is this Dayan girl so powerful?"

The bearded general stepped aside and looked at Han Ruxue opposite him with some fear.

He never expected that a seemingly insignificant female general would be so powerful!

"Go on! If you dare to insult me, be prepared to die!"

The female general continued to charge towards him without reducing her offensive force.

The sword energy was sharp, and every move was a killing move, without a trace of mercy.

"Do you really think I'm an ordinary person?"

The general was unable to defend himself for a moment and suffered several more wounds on his body.

Looking at the female general's aggressive sword moves, he gritted his teeth and decided to exchange injury for injury!

"Pfft-"

But! How could the female general let him do what he wanted? She had already seen through his intentions.

After the long sword returned to defense, it attacked the bearded general at an extremely tricky angle.

When the two separated, the female general retracted her sword, and a line of blood appeared on the neck of the Goguryeo general in front of her!
"I...you...how could...it be possible..."

Blood gushed out, his vision blurred in an instant, and endless darkness and coldness attacked him.

He widened his eyes and fell down with an unwilling look on his face.

"kill!"

At this moment, a large number of unidentified people suddenly appeared on both sides of the canyon!

"Oh no." The female general looked carefully and found that it was the people from Goguryeo!
On the other side, in front of the small town on Mount Myohyang, the Goguryeo army led by Yeon Gaesomun with more than 100,000 soldiers surrounded the small town!
"General..what should we do?"

On the city wall, a group of generals surrounded Qin Qiong, looking at the densely packed Goguryeo army in front of the city wall, each of their faces was filled with fear.

There were 150,000 troops lined up outside the city, but they only had less than 50,000 of them!

Even though there is the support of the city walls, it won’t last long without logistical support and assistance!
"…How are the people who went after the thousands of Goguryeo soldiers? Have they returned?"

Xin Qiji's face was a little gloomy, but he was worried about the eight thousand soldiers.

The female general is still there!

If something happened to her this time, how would he explain to Li Kuan?
"General... there is no news from the eight thousand soldiers... the Goguryeo army has surrounded the city... our scouts can neither get out nor in."

A general beside him was silent for a moment, then clenched his fists and said.

"Spread the news of this place as soon as possible! Your Majesty must lead the troops here as soon as possible! Otherwise, we will..."

Xin Qiji looked at the Goguryeo army ready to attack across from him, and a layer of gloom covered his face.

The canyon on the side of Myohyang Mountain.

"You! Hurry up and lead your men to break out! We will stay here to buy you some time."

A female general rushed to the side of the female general and spoke anxiously.

She was covered in blood, and her long hair was already spread out behind her head.

"Hahaha...leave? None of you can leave!"

Before the female general could say anything, several Goguryeo generals rushed over with ferocious looks, as if they had already regarded the Dayan soldiers as defeated.

"It's a shame to kill such a beautiful woman! But General Yeon Gaesomun said that no one will be left alive this time! Goguryeo men! Kill them all! No one will be spared!"

The leading general swung his double hammers. Upon hearing his words, the Goguryeo soldiers who were fighting vigorously around him attacked even more fiercely.

The soldiers of Dayan had no advantage at all since they were surrounded, and now they were unable to resist and were forced to retreat step by step!

"You! It's too late! Hurry up and lead your men to break out! Go and join up with His Majesty's army! Once you get there, you'll be safe!"

Several female generals looked at the Dayan soldiers in front of them, falling one after another, their eyes bloodshot!
They continued to fight back with all their remaining strength, trying to find a way to survive for the female general.

An hour later, the battle was over. Of the eight thousand soldiers brought by the female general, nearly seven thousand fell, forever in this foreign land.

Fortunately, the female general and the remaining one thousand soldiers, although covered in wounds, managed to break out of the siege.

However, their retreat route had already been cut off, and with no way to retreat, they could only continue to advance!
……

On the other side, there is the city where Guo Shoujing and his army are located.

"Report——"

The hurried voice entered the big tent, making Guo Shoujing inside feel uneasy.

"Vanguard troops, any news?"

Guo Shoujing's eyelids twitched violently. He always felt that something big was going to happen!
It stands to reason that the scouts of the vanguard troops would continuously send back news, but not long ago, the scouts sent out were like a drop in the ocean!
How could he not be anxious?
"Master Guo..."

The scout looked up, glanced at the expression on Guo Shoujing's face, and paused there, a little hesitant.

"Say it quickly!"

When Guo Shoujing saw this scene, he felt even more uneasy.

"Master Guo... there is a city near Miaoxiang Mountain. Suddenly, 150,000 Goguryeo troops attacked nearby and blocked the vanguard troops under General Qin Qiong's command... the news in the city has been blocked..."

"What! Where did the 150,000 Goguryeo troops come from?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Shoujing jumped up from his seat, somewhat unable to believe the news.

Why did a 150,000-man army suddenly appear out of nowhere, and they didn't notice it at all? !
At the same time, in Marudu City, Gao Shun had gathered all his brothers together.

At night, the group went straight to the granary according to the prior arrangement!

“Ha—”

A Goguryeo soldier suddenly appeared in a mansion near the granary and yawned tiredly.

Surrounding him, there were actually many Goguryeo soldiers standing. The same situation occurred in all the nearby mansions.

Outside the grain depot, there was actually a large Goguryeo army lying in ambush!
"Do you think the city lord is too nervous? Who would want to come to our Maru City to cause trouble? In my opinion, that Li Kuan was extremely bold to cause trouble in the domestic city, so why would he appear here?"

The soldier who had yawned earlier looked at the empty gate of the granary opposite.

He complained with an unhappy look on his face.

"This is not something that we, the little minions, can control. We'd better stay here honestly and make sure the general doesn't hear us!"

His companions looked back a few times and interrupted his complaints. He didn't want to be punished for no reason.

In a dark corner not far from the granary, Li Kuan led a group of people and went straight to the granary, while the old goblin and Mo Lizhi and Ren Wu stayed there.

"It's really bad luck! What a fool Li Kuan is! Why did he bring a loser like you with him when he went out to do things? And he even asked me to watch over you here!"

The old goblin kicked Mo Lizhi Renwu, snorted, and said with great disgust.

"you!"

Mo Lizhi and Ren Wu glared at the old witch, but did not dare to continue speaking. He looked angry but unable to speak.

He was frightened by the old demon and dared not continue to provoke this evil star.

"who!"

Over there, the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp had just started to take action when they were discovered by the Goguryeo soldiers who had been lying in ambush.

In an instant, countless Goguryeo soldiers holding torches rushed out from nearby houses and surrounded the group.

"Humph! I knew you would strike again! You won't be able to escape this time!"

A general walked out from the crowd and said very proudly.

However, Li Qiu ignored his words. Instead, he took the torch from a soldier's hand and threw it into the pile of firewood that had already been prepared. The fire started immediately.

"Stop it! Asshole! You're ignoring me!"

The general was somewhat furious, and seemed to want everyone to rush forward and start a battle.

The soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp were not afraid at all. They took a step forward together, and their combined aura was no less than that of the opposite side.

"Before you take action, don't you ask where your prince is going? Or do you not care whether he lives or dies?"

Li Kuan glanced at him and said lightly.
