At the border between the Haotian Empire and the Huanyu Empire, when Lin Batian cleaned up the capital of the Haotian Emperor, the Huanyu Empire decisively raised the whole country's forces to attack, because Lin Batian was not at the border, and the Lin family army did not have a good commander and commander, and was defeated and retreated by the Huanyu Empire, until the last defense line of the Haotian Empire, the Canyon Pass.

Due to the topography between the outside of the Canyon Pass and the border line, the Canyon Pass is located 500 miles north of the border defense line. There is a very strange terrain between the canyon pass and the border line, like a gourd lying on the ground facing north and south, the top of the gourd is the canyon pass, and the bottom is the border line. It is surrounded by continuous mountain ranges, with thousands of zhang in high places and more than 100 zhang high in low places.

If the Huanyu Empire wants to break through the defense line of the Haotian Empire, it must first defeat the defense of the border line, which is the first line of defense, and then enter the bottom of the gourd, which is surrounded by mountains, and in the middle is a plain with a radius of about ten miles, and then it is the second line of defense of the Haotian Empire.

Now the Huanyu Empire has broken through the second line of defense of the Haotian Empire, and then stationed outside the last line of defense, that is, outside the canyon pass. The middle of the second line of defense and the canyon pass is also a plain with a radius of about ten miles, but it will be a little smaller than the front. It is precisely because of such a complex terrain that the Lin family army can support it for so long without the command of Lin Batian.

Lin Batian was very anxious when he got the news of the attack of the Huanyu Empire, on one side was a national disaster, and on the other hand, he was a parent, but he knew in his heart that the country would always be greater than home, but at that time he happened to offend so many people in the court, and it was not easy to leave for a while, so when His Majesty the Emperor personally asked him and promised to help him find Lin Feng, he left with the pro-guard army and went to the front line.

The war was urgent, Lin Batian directly said to the pro-guards that he would do his best to rush to the border, and said that he would not stop halfway, but if the pro-guards couldn't keep up, they would stop and rest, and after five days of fast horses, Lin Batian finally rushed to the canyon pass, but the original pro-guard army of more than 1,000 people, only less than 100 people could follow his footsteps, and except for six people who could stand straight, the others were all shaky.

And among these six people, there were actually three children who were less than twenty years old, which made Lin Batian a little surprised, but he didn't ask too much, and went directly into the barracks, Lin Batian learned that at present, the Lin family army had just retreated to the Canyon Pass, and the Huanyu Empire was stationing the whole army at the second line of defense.

So Lin Batian ordered the Lin family army to lay out the defense line according to his command, set up all the traps that could be used, no matter how provocative the Huanyu Empire was, he couldn't go out to fight with it, and he would make plans after he rested.

After Lin Batian ordered everything, he took his own guards to rest together, after all, everyone had been rushing for five days and five nights, and they were already exhausted, and now that the big war was imminent, they had to rest themselves and others first, and wait for the people behind by the way.

This lying down is a day and a night, and after Lin Batian woke up, he immediately summoned his generals to discuss the next battle.

"Qi Dong, why was the defense line that had not been breached by the Huanyu Empire for so many years suddenly breached? Can you give me an explanation. After seeing everyone arrive, Lin Batian asked the previous person in charge.

"Marshal, this time the Huanyu Empire is too cunning, at the beginning, we made an appointment to fight as usual, and under normal circumstances, the two sides would not exceed 500,000 people, but this time the Huanyu Empire asked to play a big game, saying that it has always been this person who has been fighting for so many years, and there are basically no casualties, this should not be a military battle, but a child's play. ”

"Then I asked them what they wanted, and they said that at least two million people would be dispatched, and we were only 20 million people stationed here, almost one percent of the troops, so I didn't agree, and finally they began to shout and scold outside the gate, and I didn't pay attention to it, until they said that you are not there, Dashuai, our Lin family army is a group of waste, and they also said that our Lin family army is a bad seed, so ......" Qi Dong said here and lowered his head.

"So you agreed?opened the city gate to fight, but was swallowed by the Huanyu Empire?" Lin Batian took Qi Dong's unfinished words and continued, but Lin Batian's tone was very flat, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

"Please surrender the marshal!" Qi Dong knelt down directly.

"Let's finish talking first. Lin Batian asked Qi Dong to continue.

"Then I couldn't bear it anymore, so I promised them to send two million people out, and when they led our two million people to a position of about three miles, they suddenly rushed down hundreds of thousands of cavalry from the mountains on both sides, and the cavalry on both sides charged back and forth several times, and our two million people were directly killed by more than half of these hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and the rest were also swallowed up by the two million people of the Huanyu Empire. Speaking of this, Qi Dong couldn't help but cry.

Go on. Lin Batian clenched his fists with both hands and squeezed out three words from his mouth.

So I immediately opened the city gates, ready to send a large army to avenge the two million brothers, but before the people went out, I heard the drums of the attack on the opposite side, and then I saw the main force of the Huanyu Empire, and there was no end in sight, and later I learned that the Huanyu Empire had launched a nationwide army. Qi Dong sobbed for a moment, and then continued.

So I gave up the bodies of the two million brothers, closed the gates, and immediately lit the smoke and told the second line of defense to send someone to rescue me. But after all, it happened suddenly, the Huanyu Empire had too many people, and completely ignored the strong attack of casualties, and the reinforcements of the second line of defense had not yet set off, and the first line of defense was lost. ”

"We have less than a million people left, so I took these million people to retreat to the second line of defense, who would have expected that after the Huanyu Empire broke through the first line of defense, it didn't even clean up the battlefield and followed directly behind us to the second line of defense, we were caught up by the Huanyu Empire outside the second line of defense, and the Huanyu Empire did not charge, but slowly killed our millions. ”

"The defender of the second line of defense is my younger brother Qi Xi, who saw that I was being chased and killed by the Huanyu Empire, so he opened the city gate and came out to meet us, just when the city gate was opened, the Huanyu Empire launched a charge, and my brother only had time to receive the 100,000 people in front of us, and the remaining 800,000 people turned around and rushed towards the Huanyu Empire for us, and were left there forever. ”

"The Huanyu Empire originally wanted to rush in when the city gate was opened, but we didn't expect to be blocked by our 800,000 brothers with their bodies for a moment, and it was at this moment that we successfully entered the second line of defense. Qi Dong couldn't help crying when he said this, and after a long time, he regained his mind and continued.

"Originally, we imagined the Canyon Pass asking for help, but my brother said that the defenders of the Canyon Pass must not move, that is the last line of defense of our Haotian Empire, once the people of the Canyon Pass support the second path, in case they can't stop the Huanyu Empire, then it is equivalent to the Canyon Pass is also broken, and once the Canyon Pass is broken, all the rivers and mountains equivalent to the Haotian Empire will be opened to the Huanyu Empire, and there is no place to stop it. ”

"My brother said that it doesn't matter if the first and second lines of defense are lost, but the canyon pass must not be breached, and then the Huanyu Empire attacked for two consecutive days, and the second line of defense was also broken, my brother asked me to return to the canyon pass with three million people, he said that if there were fewer casualties, there would be fewer casualties, and finally I left with three million people, but my brother stayed in the second line of defense. After finishing speaking, Qi Dong cried directly, and he was no longer suppressed. If he hadn't impulsively fallen for the tricks of the Universal Empire, his 20 million brothers would not have died so wronged, the first line of defense would not have been lost so quickly, and his younger brother would not have died.

"So, the 20 million people in the first line of defense and the 20 million people in the second line of defense are only 3 million people left?" Lin Batian was shocked, he didn't expect such heavy losses.

"Yes, Marshal, I'm confused, please order my military justice to be dealt with. Qi Dong burst into tears, kowtowing to Lin Batian and pleading guilty.

The other generals in the room also cried silently, they are the guards of the Gorge Pass, and they are also the soldiers of the Lin family, every time they think of nearly 40 million brothers leaving me, they suddenly feel sad, they also want to rush out to fight to the death with the Huanyu Empire to avenge the brothers, but they can't, there are hundreds of millions of compatriots behind them to protect themselves, and they must not act impulsively, they can only silently shed tears and mourn for the dead brothers.

"Stand up for me!" Lin Batian yelled.

"Look at what you look like, crying like a girl, what did I tell you before? What is the greatest glory of our soldiers? Do you remember? If you don't remember, I'll tell you that the greatest glory of a soldier is the horse leather shroud that died on the battlefield. You should be proud of our brethren, all of whom were heroes who died heroically to protect our homeland. ”

"Crying, of course you can cry, but not now, our brethren are still waiting for us to avenge them, and they are also watching us on the battlefield, do you let them see this crying and crying? What do you think they are thinking now?"

"I tell you, they are thinking that you are sorry for them, that they have the best home for the soldiers, and that you are crying like a here, and they look down on you. Lin Batian shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Great!" everyone thought that something was stuck in their throats.

"Why? Don't believe what I say? Then I ask you, what would you think if you were lying there right now? Is it the same as what I said?"

"Yes, I will, I will. If I were lying there, I would have watched from heaven and hoped that my brothers would have lifted themselves up and avenged me. "It was Qi Dong who spoke, the one who cried the most.

"Then are you still crying?" Lin Batian continued to shout and asked.

"If I don't cry, I won't cry again. Qi Dong stood up and gave Lin Batian a military salute.

"Brothers, we are soldiers, the only task of a soldier is to defend our family and country, and it is also painful for me to die in battle, but we must endure it while we live, because we must continue to defend and avenge our brothers. ”

"Dashuai, we were wrong, we will never be decadent in the future, please lead us to avenge our brothers!" everyone shouted in unison.

"Okay, that's good, I'll take you to avenge your brothers, wipe your faces clean for me now, and if my dead brothers laugh at me again, I'll drive you back to your hometown, and I won't give you a chance to take revenge." Lin Batian said a terrible punishment.

"No, we swear that we will avenge our brothers personally. Everyone quickly wiped away the tears on their faces, and then stood up straight and looked at Lin Batian.
