Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Upon seeing this, Hanati followed closely behind.

"Xiao Ce! You..." Dawulieti wanted to shout...

However, as soon as he entered, the oil lamps in the originally dark military tent were instantly lit!

After the oil lamps were lit, the entire military tent was brightly lit.

Inside stood dozens of soldiers in black armor, each wielding a flintlock musket.

Xiao Ce, Nan Xi, Bairda and his group sat inside, watching them with faint smiles on their faces.

When Dawuleti and Hanati saw this, they instinctively turned to leave.

However, Hu Yidao and his men had already blocked their path.

They brought a 20-man elite squad, which had already been silently wiped out.

Fear was all that remained in their eyes.

Dawuleti's body trembled uncontrollably, though his face clearly showed he wanted to laugh.

But in the end, the laughter was even uglier than the tears.

Just then, Xiao Ce smiled slightly and said, "Dawuleti, what brings you here so late?"

Dawulieti stammered, "King...King of the Northern Desert, I..."

Even if he was stupid, he would have realized by now that Xiao Ce was already waiting for them here.

Before he could finish explaining, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.

He then repeatedly kowtowed to Xiao Ce, saying, "Your Highness...we were wrong...we were wrong..."

Seeing this, Hanati thought to himself that Dawuleti really knelt down quickly.

However, he was not at a disadvantage at all and kowtowed to Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce said to them, "You're wrong? What did you do wrong? I don't know."

Dawuleti began to speak, tears and snot streaming down his face.

However, what he wanted to say was something Xiao Ce didn't want to hear at all...

He then said calmly, "What is your signal for attack?"

Dawuleti shook his head and said, "Your Highness...I have...I will find a way to stop them..."

Xiao Ce continued coldly, "I don't need you to stop them... I'm asking you! What is your signal for attacking?"

Dawuleti was terrified: "It's a rocket...it fired a rocket..."

After Dawuleti finished speaking, Hu Yidao nodded, then took a bow and arrow from the side and dipped the arrowhead in kerosene.

He then drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and shot it.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of fighting erupted.

Seeing this, Hu Yidao took out his flintlock pistol and fired another shot.

This shot was a signal for everyone to prepare for a counterattack.

Dawuleti was kowtowing while trying to say something to Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce took out his flintlock pistol and said to the two men, "I gave you a chance to live, but you chose to die!"

He then raised his hand and fired two shots.

Bang bang...

Xiao Ce's movements were extremely swift and clean, without the slightest bit of mud or water getting in the way.

After doing this, Xiao Ce said, "Cut off their heads and send them through the three armies. Tell the people of Khotan and Shule that their kings are dead, their cities have been captured by us, and if they join us in resisting the army of Uz, their families back home can live."

"Anyone who remains obstinate and refuses to see the truth shall die!"

After the order was given, their troops were the first to rush over.

After seeing the heads of Dawuleti and Hanati, the morale of this group of soldiers waned by three points.

After Xiao Ce's army finished shouting, upon hearing that their homeland had fallen, their morale waned by another three points.

It looks like there are still some people who want to charge.

Xiao Ce's army continued to shout, "Those who block my way shall die!"

As he spoke, a round of grenades was thrown out, and they were initially caught off guard.

But as the grenade exploded, some people saw a whole person blown to pieces...

Their last remaining momentum has been completely worn away!

“Now turn your weapons against those around you… to your own people…”

The soldiers under Dawuleti turned and faced the soldiers sent by the Kingdom of Uzbekistan...

The first batch sent over ten thousand people.

With their defection, it was practically eight against one; their entire population of 10,000 was instantly wiped out...

Soon, the generals instructed the Khotanese soldiers to disarm and wait aside.

They broke out towards the outer perimeter as planned.

Wuwei and Linbang were originally sitting comfortably on a high place, but seeing the sudden change in their situation, their expressions turned somewhat grim.

"How could this be?"

Wu Wei was initially surprised, then a look of excitement flashed across his face: "I knew it, the Xiao Ce I know wouldn't be like this!"

Seeing this, Lin Bang said, "Are you still able to laugh?"

Wu Wei laughed and said, "Why not? You don't need to rush. The war has only just begun... We have set up many encirclements and traps. Although they have killed many of our men, we still have the upper hand at this moment."

Lin Bang said to Wu Wei, "Let's go down and take command ourselves. Let's not end up getting caught off guard."

After they nodded, they went their separate ways.

Because they were too far away, they were unaware of the grenade incident.

Next, their main force began to advance, forming neat ranks.

Upon seeing this, Wuwei's army also began to charge.

Just as they rushed over, they saw Xiao Ce's men make their move.

They threw out objects that looked like wooden sticks.

Before they could react, they were all blown apart.

After throwing the bombs, Xiao Ce's men very conscientiously moved to the back of the column, then switched to crossbows and began firing...

Bows and arrows can be shot at a distance, while grenades can suppress the enemy's attack.

They fought and advanced simultaneously.

They were completely subdued and rendered helpless. If they had gone in...

They simply couldn't withstand the bombs.

In just a few waves of attacks, they lost over a thousand men...

This will be a huge test for those who follow.

They broke apart and broke through the encirclement, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder and roasted meat.

In the darkness, there was an army riding fine horses, dressed in camouflage uniforms, and all of them had buzz cuts.

This army was small, consisting of ten men per unit.

They went to the location of the traps, threw the bombs, and ran...

This bomb wasn't an ordinary hand grenade; it was a bomb.

Less than an hour after the war began, the Uzbek army was being driven back in defeat.

The occasional explosions of bombs terrified the soldiers, leaving them completely terrified...

Moreover, at Xiao Ce's instruction, these soldiers would shout some of their local Western Regions language when throwing bombs.

It's roughly about "summoning heavenly lightning".

Then came an explosion, which made the people of Uzbekistan begin to have doubts and their fears intensified.

Once morale and courage are destroyed, defeat is inevitable.

Most importantly, those troops in camouflage combat uniforms, due to their superior equipment, kill people as easily as slicing through melons...

Even as strong as Wuwei and Linbang.

They had intended to use their own tactics to try and turn the tide.

However, in the face of absolute strength, any skill is useless.

The saying "strength can overcome skill" applies even on the battlefield...

Those traps they were so proud of were all destroyed by Xiao Ce's special forces team in camouflage!

After their successive defeats...

Wuwei and Linbang had a brief exchange: "Wuwei, what do we do now? Our so-called encirclement has been breached... and we're no match for them at all... They can summon heavenly lightning seemingly endlessly... We haven't even seen their soldiers..."

"This is a massacre!"

Wu Wei frowned, though unwilling to admit it: "Let's retreat... It's obvious he came prepared! They seem to be the prey... but clearly, Xiao Ce has disguised himself as the prey... Their true identity is the hunter!"

Lin Bang nodded: "Okay... let's go!"

Wu Wei said to Lin Bang, "However, if we retreat like this, or suffer such a crushing defeat, and the Queen Mother finds out... won't she mistakenly think that we're putting on an act with Xiao Ce?"

Lin Bang fell silent: "Then what other options do we have...? Let's retreat first... reorganize our troops, and then continue fighting them."

boom...

Boom...Boom...

Boom...Boom...Boom...

As an explosion drew closer, Lin Bang shouted, "We can't worry about that now... Let's retreat... If we don't retreat now, our army will collapse..."

"If we retreat back to the city, we'll have no advantage on this plain..."

"Save your life first!"

After listening to Lin Bang's words, Wu Wei nodded and headed towards the battlefield behind him.

One area was scorched earth, another was in disarray, and yet another was advancing in an orderly and unhurried manner.

To be honest, Wuwei has never fought such a frustrating battle since he joined the army.

"withdraw!"

After pondering for a moment, Wuwei couldn't help but shout out.

The messenger beside him immediately sounded the retreat horn.

The Uzbek side was already on the verge of collapse.

While previous battles with cold weapons were brutal, they never involved such flying limbs.

A scene of flying blood and gore.

At this moment, a thin layer of blood mist permeated the air.

Watching them frantically flee for their lives.

Xiao Ce noticed that neither Bairdda nor the others seemed inclined to pursue them.

"Chase them! Chase them! Chase them! What are you waiting for... If not now, when?"

Hu Yidao was taken aback at first, then asked Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, didn't you say, 'Don't pursue a desperate enemy...'"

Xiao Ce said helplessly, "Now their morale is truly shattered, their confidence has been completely destroyed... Go after them! While chasing, shout... Those who surrender will not be killed... Otherwise, we will hunt them down to the ends of the earth! Make them surrender! Go! Don't worry about formations!"

Xiao Ce shouted, and Hu Yidao ordered the scouts waiting beside him to go and report the news!

After the scouts dispersed to relay the orders, the army, which had been lined up, scattered and chased after the fleeing soldiers like hungry wolves...
