The System wants me to live, history wants me dead. Then for all the white-haired people in this city, I’ll light one more beacon fire that burns the heavens!
When Han Zhao wakes up, he has become a lowly soldier in the Great Tang’s Anxi Protectorate, with nothing to look forward to but death. Tibetan cavalry are pressing at the borders, the beacon towers are about to fall, and the history books will remember only this: “The Anxi Army was completely wiped out.”
The Brutal Soldier System is his only chance to survive. Staying alive becomes a more urgent obsession than getting home.
From the bloody meat grinder of the beacon towers to the desperate defense of Kucha, from Mo Dao officer to commander of the entire army, he climbs through the blood-soaked cracks of history with knowledge beyond his time and the System’s merciless rules.
He improves the siege crossbow, forms Mo Dao units, and uses modern tactics to carve out a path to survival in an age of cold weapons.
He unites the remnants of the Western Regions, fights the Tibetans, maneuvers around the Uyghurs, and raises the Great Tang’s banners once more in the forgotten lands of the empire.
He reforms the military, gathers heroes, and vows beneath the gaze of white-haired veterans and Hu warriors: “I will defend Anxi for the rest of my life.”
When a messenger from Chang’an finally crosses the sea of sand, bringing rewards and suspicion, he finds Han Zhao atop the city wall, with banners snapping behind him and countless eyes sworn to follow him to the death.
This is not the story of one man transmigrating and trying to survive.
This is the story of an isolated army fighting its way out of despair for itself, and for the civilization behind it.
It is both a requiem and a hymn to the lone Anxi army: “Every head in the city is white, yet none will abandon the Mo Dao.” It is also the stirring legend of a modern soul who kindles beacon fires in the currents of history, lighting the way through desperation.
The solitary city in the vast sea is the capital of the emperor, and the broken leaves of the city head shine down. Frost grinds the edge of the road and the cold light shines, and the armor is wrapped in white. There is no way to reach the music book thousands of miles away, and there are thousands of layers of sand and moraine to camp on. He is still tied to the Tang family, and died as a guard soldier in the Western Frontier.
Well written. The characters are fleshed out and the plot is well controlled, making it worth watching. Recommended index five stars The further I look at it, the more it feels like it was written by AI. Some places are repetitive. The plots that have been written before will be revealed later. It was obvious that the protagonist was involved in the plot, but it reappeared later, but he was not involved. The Anxi mineral map has been unlocked earlier. It appears later that it needs to be unlocked. There are many problems.
So far I have read the latest chapter and I feel it is okay, the pace feels moderate, the plot is also well written, and the character development is also quite hierarchical, not like the kind that is suddenly praised.
A rare good book in Tomato, a fine product. Good luck to the author. It's a pity that this book is not on the list. Behind the big failure appears 🤦
The writing is very detailed and true. It is a good book. I recommend it.
Yes, it's pretty. The author will update soon.
Beautiful, beautiful, and well written.
