King Huan lost his power and humiliated the country, and wanted to cut the land in exchange for what he thought was peace.

This is simply naïve to the extreme.

After the ghost clan gains Zhenyang, it will only strengthen its rule over Huan Land, and treat all the people under its jurisdiction as slaves.

To put it bluntly, in the heart of the ghost king, King Huan is now a puppet object to support.

And Xiang Ge's side, after receiving the king's order, there was no delay for a moment, because he was already afraid of the ghost army.

The military command office of the Huan army was in Zhenyang Mansion, and with the issuance of the commander's military order, for a time, a large number of soldiers began to march from the city and urgently retreated.

In the streets, hearing this movement, the people have gathered more and more.

People didn't know what was going on, they were standing on either side, looking at the retreating army, and they couldn't stop talking.

"The ghost army is pressing, why did our army suddenly retreat?"

"Who knows, is my country planning to give up Zhenyang......

"Alien invasion, our soldiers, retreat without a fight......"

"If this ghost army comes, what will I do......

The people's discussion reached their ears, and the sergeant Huan was silent all the way.

As soldiers, they have the heart to protect their families and defend the country, but military orders have been issued, and they can only obey military orders.

A general riding a war horse, couldn't help but come to a partial general, looking at the people gathered on both sides, the puzzled expressions on the faces of those people, and the expectant eyes, he said in a trembling voice: "General, as soldiers, do we really want to ignore these people?" ”

"I ...... I do not know. The general could only choose to remain silent.

At the same time, the commander-in-chief's military orders were also transmitted to all parts of the front.

The command office is in Zhenyang Mansion, but there is naturally a military fortress in front, and there are small units respectively, forming a defensive position.

After receiving the order, the front-line troops, although reluctant, could not disobey the order, and also moved one after another, but one person did not withdraw.

This person's name is Yan Zheng, and he is currently the captain of the eighth formation of the Huan Army's infantry army, and his previous task was to lead the headquarters to intercept the ghost army at the southern pass thirty miles away from Zhenyang, so as to achieve the strategic purpose of preventing the ghost army from suddenly circling around and cooperating with the entire defense line.

Now, after receiving Xiang Ge's order for the whole army to retreat, Yan Zheng was furious and crumpled the silk book into a ball: "What kind of bullshit order is this!" ”

In the tent, there were several commanders, and they couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw this, and one of them said, "General, why are you so angry." ”

Yan Zheng took a deep breath to calm down his mood, but he was still indignant: "Xiang Shuai ordered the whole line to retreat, and all the troops have been transferred one after another, and ordered our department to retreat to Zhenyang tomorrow morning." ”

"What?" The commanders didn't react a little.

Someone else was dumbfounded and said, "This ...... Isn't this battle fought? ”

"Our army is going to retreat again?"

Hearing this, Yan Zheng became angry again, and said sharply: "Guangyuan is lost!" Liaoyang is lost! Even the state is lost! Hundreds of thousands of troops, retreat and retreat! Now I want to give Zhenyang away! It just doesn't make sense! ”

"This retreat, the ghost army enters the city, and the people who suffer are hundreds of thousands of Li people! Don't blame the soldiers of my Huan army for not daring to fight! It's that the top is so weak! ”

He was already angry to the extreme, and there was a lot of disrespect in his words.

When the commanders heard this, they were all startled, and someone hurriedly said: "The general is angry, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

"Humph!" Yan Zheng sneered: "Lao Tzu doesn't care about these now!" After this alien invasion, the court has been seen clearly! See the top clearly! Is it my soldiers who dare not fight! It's those high-ranking generals who don't dare to fight! It's those ministers who don't dare to fight! ”

"If our people dare to fight, why not stop here!"

"Little ghost clan, how dare you come to attack!"

"As a soldier, I should have defended my family and country! But now, there is an order from above, to let me wait to give up the land to others! Give the people guarding behind you to the ghost clan as slaves! ”

"Aren't they doing enough evil! How many innocent girls in my clan are in purgatory every day! ”

He shouted angrily, and several commanders were also emotional.

After taking a few breaths of relief, Yan Zheng looked around again, and immediately decided: "To withdraw!" They withdraw! Lao Tzu is the general of the Huan army! Defend the land to the death! Even the horse leather shroud is my glory! ”

"But this ...... It's disobedience to military orders, general......" someone said worriedly.

"So what!? This kind of military order, don't take it! Yan Zheng glared.

"But...... But even if we don't withdraw, our department only has 5,000 soldiers, how can we resist the ghost army. ”

"Don't say five thousand, it's only five hundred! There are only five people! This battle, Lao Tzu is also settled! ”

Yan Zheng, a man in his thirties, is upright and an absolute bloody man, but because of his poor background, he has been squeezed out by the top of the military department.

Now, he refused to retreat, and in his capacity as the highest officer of his headquarters, he ordered to hold on, and at the same time gathered the army for a full mobilization, telling the soldiers the determination and significance of this battle.

In the barracks, all the soldiers at the South Pass gathered, the military appearance was neat, all of them had straight waists, and their eyes were focused on Yan Zheng.

The latter, dressed in armor and with a sword at his waist, walked back and forth in front of him, and shouted at the same time:

"Brothers! Look behind you! It's your brothers and sisters! With parents, wives and children! ”

"Now, the Oni are slaughtering our compatriots! Trample on our homeland! ”

"As a soldier! Defending the country and spilling blood on the battlefield is our glory! ”

"Anyone can leave! We can't! ”

"Because as soon as we retreat, the dead behind us are hundreds of thousands of fathers and villagers!!"

"In this battle, there is a huge disparity between the enemy and our forces! I know that you can't hold on! ”

"But if we hold on for one more day, we will give the compatriots behind us one more day to evacuate!"

"Even if it's until the last minute! I'm Yan Zheng! I will also advance and retreat with my brothers! ”

Such a general, plus these soldiers, many people's hometowns have now been occupied by the ghost clan, and their parents, wives and children have all died tragically.

Family hatred and national hatred, gathered together, blood was ignited, I don't know who was the first to shout:

"The ghost clan has lost its conscience! Such a deception of my nation! Is it tolerable or unbearable! ”

"Fuck! Kill one enough! Kill two and earn! Fight with them! ”

"I am willing to follow the general and defend the country!"

"I am willing to follow the general and defend the country-"

The shouts shook the sky and endured.

The soldiers of the Huan army actually dare to fight, but they are too weak and incompetent.

Yan Zheng disobeyed the above meaning, and while deciding to hold on, he also sent someone to inform the people of Zhenyang and let them evacuate quickly, because he was running out of time for them.

At this point, the news that all the Huan troops retreated and retreated to Zhenyang spread rapidly, and for a while, the people panicked, and countless people were frightened, and began to pack up and move their families for refuge.
