Shen Jin closed his eyes in pain, after getting the promise of Marquis Claudia, the commander of the Carman side, to guarantee the safety of the surrendered troops and the lives of the residents in the fortress, Shen Jin handed over the command of the troops to his lieutenant, he must have an explanation, he did not want his wives and concubines and children to become the playthings of the nobles, and suicide became his only choice.

Seeing his boss walking into the room alone, He Jing, as his deputy, felt like a knife in his heart, Shen Jin gave him too much help, so that he could grow from an ordinary soldier to today's step, but this qiē has completely collapsed today.

He can't stop him, because as a soldier, Jiayu Pass, known as the first pass in the world, was actually captured by the enemy, no matter from which point of view, it is unreasonable, those powerful nobles and emperors in the imperial capital will not listen to any of your explanations, as the commander in wartime, the only thing that can be prayed for is that the Supervision Yuan and the Trial Yuan can show mercy to their subordinates, and no longer hold his family and children accountable when they see him commit suicide and martyrdom.

So this qiē is the damn Sige, this son of a bitch's bastard turned out to be an undercover agent of the Kamans, this reality made He Jing and Shen Jin, who had just gotten the news at that time, unacceptable, the deputy division commander of a division of the dignified empire was actually the internal response of the enemy country, what did the people from the Ministry of the Interior and the Supervision Yuan do? How did he climb to such a high position in just over a decade? This series of questions has been coiled in He Jing's mind, but these are no longer important, and it is not his turn to pursue these questions, what should be done now is how to make the Kamans sincerely implement the agreement they have reached, and avoid more innocent deaths of ordinary people in the fortress.

Looking at the slowly falling Shuanglong Bead Flag in front of her, looking at the rising Sun, Moon and Star Flag, Claudia stood upright, looking up at the flag waving in the wind with proud eyes, this moment is the longing of countless Kaman soldiers for many years. It's finally happening today.

On August 19, the 18th year of the Apocalypse, the most important checkpoint in the north of the Great Qin Empire was the first fortress in the world, Jiayu Pass, which was broken by the Kaman army, and the Battle of Jiayuguan ended, and the Kaman people took control of this fortress firmly stuck in their necks for the first time in hundreds of years. During the battle, the Kaman army paid a heavy price of more than 40,000 dead and more than 30,000 wounded. However, the results achieved were also very amazing, a total of 45,000 people were annihilated in the two integrated garrison divisions of the Great Qin Empire, of which 35,000 were captured, and 20,000 people were captured in addition to the newly established fortress reserve troops, and in one fell swoop they controlled the Jiayu Pass, so that the northern northwest county of the Great Qin Empire, the northern plain county and the vast area in the west of the Gerlok Principality were all under the threat of the Kaman army.

When the 4th Division of the Northwest Army Corps and the 6th Corps of Kaman in the east received the news of the fall of Jiayuguan, he was completely stunned.

Letting his beloved purple clay pot fall to the ground and shatter, Fielding almost fainted the moment he learned the inside story. This damn Sig is a lot of harm! But how should he face the inquiries of the Imperial Inspectorate and even the gendarmerie? The commander of a deputy division under his command turned out to be an undercover agent of an enemy country. And it is an important position such as guarding Jiayuguan, how can I explain it to the people and the Ministry of War?

This damn bastard, how could he let the 3rd Garrison Division go to Jiayuguan? Fielding even regretted the decision he made, now that Jiayu Pass was lost, the Kaman army was free, at least another 100,000 troops could be sent south, and even if the Taixuanfu City where he was located received the support of the Northwest Army, it would be difficult to defeat the Kaman army in one place. The enemy can mobilize at least 170,000 troops to besiege Taixuanfu, but he now has only a reorganized division and a division of reserve troops. Even with the Fourth Division of the Northwest Army that was about to arrive in Taixuanfu City, there were only more than 60,000 people, and there were more than 20,000 reservists in between, how could they withstand the morale of the Kaman army?

After all, he was the lord of the government, and Fielding quickly woke up from the blow, and carefully analyzed the comparison of the forces of the enemy and us, and now was no longer the time to accept the support of Qin Dui's army. It's a question of how to ensure that Taixuanfu City doesn't fall.

The reinforcement of the Second Army of the Northwest Army has not yet reached Meishan County, and it will take at least a week or so to reach here even if it marches overnight, and the combat effectiveness will inevitably drop a lot, while the Kaman army from the south of Jiayu Pass can reach it in two days at most, plus the Kaman army on the east road that is only less than a day away. I have to defend Taixuan Mansion for at least five days, can I survive these five days?

Seriously thinking about this qiē, Fielding thought hard, but still not much sure, as a battle-hardened soldier, he clearly knew that the Kamans took Jiayu Pass, and the morale of the improved was enough to increase the number of divisions, and his own side after learning that the fortress with such a heavy meaning was lost, the negative effects brought about can also be imagined, this increase and decrease, Fielding felt the severity of the problem even more.

That's it, let's let Qin Dui's Fourth Division of the Second Army enter the city first, fortunately, the order to let the other party postpone entering the city has not been issued yet, otherwise it is really difficult to explain, Fielding sighed lightly, I don't know if even if I can hold out until I can repel the attack of the Carmans, I can still stay in this position, maybe the officials of the Imperial Inspectorate have already prepared the prisoner car at that time.

It's good that he doesn't have to worry so much anymore, and when he thinks of this, Fielding can't help but have an indescribable wry smile on his face, and he can already predict his fate with his eyes.

At this time, Qin Duan was still on the way to the rapid march, and after a five-day long journey, Qin Duan rushed to the fortress mouth of Guanxi into the northwest - Partridge Pass in Lishan County.

Xiongguan is still the same, but the guarding troops have changed, because the whole army of the Fourth Army Corps has moved south, and a division and an independent division of the Third Army Corps have been drawn to the front line of the Principality of Gerook, and the garrison strength of the entire Western Military Region has been unprecedentedly tight, and the garrison strength of Lian Jinzhong Mansion has been sharply reduced from three divisions that have been maintained to one division. However, there are only six divisions of the army garrison in the 12 prefectures of the Western Military Region, which is really insufficient, this Partridge Pass is located in the middle of the empire, and there is no particularly urgent threat at the moment, and its defense is also handed over to the Lishan County Garrison Division, and the Lishan Garrison Division has only sent a wing of soldiers to be stationed here, compared to the rigor when Qin Du returned to Beijing.
