Nangong Wuji was pondering, Jia Run came over, he handed a jade slip to Nangong Wuji, and said: "The casualties of each department have been clarified, the eighty-three thousand-man war divisions in the city, except for the twenty-one newly trained war divisions, the rest were all put into battle, with a total of 31,350 casualties, of which 6,749 were killed in battle, and in addition, 7,380 were seriously injured. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The casualties of all the units participating in the war were generally more than 30 percent, of which the casualties were more than 70 percent, and there were 11 teams that basically lost their combat effectiveness, and the most casualties were Xiao Yuan's troops, who only had 87 people left...... In addition, the damage to the generals of the various departments is also very serious, and all the generals and non-commissioned officers we had previously reserved have been sent to the war department, but there are still more than 1,800 generals and non-commissioned officers in each department. ”

Nangong Wuji's face became more and more solemn, and the casualties of the various departments were even heavier than he expected. According to this calculation, it has only been two days since the start of the battle, and Wushuang City has lost more than one-third of its troops. Compared to the loss of troops, what worried him the most was that the various war divisions from Cloud Island, Lingxiao Sect, Tiansha Peak, and Wushuang City all suffered heavy casualties in the battle, and it was difficult for them to recover in a short period of time.

And according to the combat style of the demon army, they will definitely not give Wushuang City a chance to breathe, and after a short rest, they will definitely make a comeback and launch a more fierce offensive against Wushuang City.

Nangong Wuji made a slight weigh, and made a decision: "Gather all the soldiers and generals of the war department who have been crippled and integrate them into other war departments that are not seriously damaged." In addition, 10 1,000-man teams will be transferred from the newly organized and trained war departments to supplement them to the main war departments. ”

Jia Run hesitated a little: "This can ensure the combat strength of the major main war departments, but I'm afraid that those thorns below can't stand it." In his opinion, if it is necessary to reorganize the war department, it is easier to get those newly formed war departments, but the difficulty is to integrate those disabled war departments into other war departments. In this battle, the most heroic and casualties were all the elite wars from Yundao, Lingxiao Sect, Black Mountain, Tiansha Peak and Wushuang City, and these warbands all had a common feature, that is, they valued the honor of the war department above all else. For the sake of the honor of the war department, they can do anything, even all to the death, and never take half a step back. Now if we want to revoke their numbers and reorganize them into other war departments, they will definitely not be convinced.

Nangong Wuji said: "If anyone has an opinion, let him come to me." He didn't know that it was a bit unpleasant. However, the situation is urgent, and there is no other way than that.

"Regarding the reorganization of the War Department, Nangong Yunshan, Ruoxi, Wu Jin, Chen Yi, Hu Xie and others came forward to say hello, and it is estimated that there is no big problem. Jia Run glanced at Nangong Wuji and continued: "There is one more thing, due to the too many wounded, the healing medicines we have stored have begun to run out of urgency. ”

When Nangong Wuji heard this, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Has the letter sent to Huo Guang's rescue?

Jia Run said: "We sent thirteen letters to Huo Guang asking for help one after another, but the reply was only one sentence, the rear is organizing reinforcements, let us hold on a little longer! Hmph, we are desperately working on the front line, but they are watching the fire from the other side of the rear, and they will not save them when they see death." ”

Nangong Wuji pondered for a moment and said: "Wushuang City guards the boundary river, the location is very important, if this place falls, the demon army can drive straight in, threatening the flank of Huo Guang's main defense line." Huo Guang must not dare to sit idly by. In a while, I will send another letter to Huo Guang, explaining the situation in the city, stating the stakes, and asking him to send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Jia Run said: "The matter has come to this, and it has to be like this." I hope that this Huo Guang can send reinforcements earlier, even if he can't relieve the siege, he can also relieve the pressure in front of us a little. ”

Nangong Wuji turned around and asked, "How is the situation of the demon army?"

Jia Run said: "According to the reconnaissance situation, the demon army is now very frequent, and all the war departments that have fought with us have been replaced to rest and recuperate, and the newly transferred war departments are all fully equipped elites. ”

Nangong Wuji nodded and said, "In this way, it is very likely that the demon army will attack us after a short rest. With our current strength, it is difficult to compete with them head-on. In this way, you quickly go and give an order, and order the war headquarters that are stationed on the front line to abandon the outer positions and withdraw to the core positions!"

......

"What? You want to merge all the people of Xiao Zi's department into Wu Min's boy's war department? Isn't this to revoke our number?" Xiao Yuan grabbed the herald's shirt and pulled him to him, he stared at his bloodshot eyes, and roared angrily: "Our Xiao Zi Department is the War Department that followed Lord Xin Yan and Miss Nangong from the blood and fire, from the establishment of the War Department to the order, which battle did we not rush to the front? Our Xiao Zi Department's combat exploits will be less than which War Department? Now that we are disabled, we will cancel our War Department?" Hmph, even if I agree, those brothers under the Nine Springs will not agree!"

The general in charge of the herald saw that the situation was about to get out of control, and he hissed and shouted: "Commander Xiao, please calm down, this order was given by Lord Nangong himself, you can't make a mistake!"

Xiao Yuan had completely lost his mind, and he shouted: "Temporarily merged into the Wu Character Department, what is the difference between that and the revocation of the number? Hmph! Even if it is an order from the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will not recognize it! Unless our people in the Xiao Character Department are dead, we can revoke our number!"

"Yes, the Commander is right, why should he revoke our number?"

"We are working desperately on the front line, and the war department is almost exhausted, and now we want to revoke our number?"

"We are born as people of the Xiao Zibu, and we are ghosts of the Xiao Zibu when we die, and we are not going anywhere. ”

"We can't let the blood of the dead brothers be shed in vain! Let's go to Miss Nangong and ask her to administer justice for us!"

Not only Xiao Yuan, but all the soldiers of Xiao Zibu were furious, and these guys who survived the battlefield let out a roar of anger when they heard that someone was going to revoke their numbers.

"What are you doing here, are you going to rebel?" At this moment, a young man in a green robe, accompanied by a team of guards, came to the scene. This young man who looks a little weak is the commander of the Yibu - Chen Yi.

Xiao Yuan saw Chen Yi's arrival, as if he had seen a savior, he rushed to Chen Yi, knelt on the ground, and said: "My lord! this time it's not that I want to mess around, it's really that they are too much, they actually want to revoke our number, and they want to merge our people into the Wu character department!"

Chen Yi said coldly: "Who said that you will revoke your number? It's just that now the situation is urgent, in order to enrich the strength of the major war departments, so you must temporarily merge your people into the Wu character department!"

"What's the difference between that and revoking the number?" Xiao Yuan is not a foolish master, he stiffened his neck and said to Chen Yi: "My lord, I followed you all the way from Yundao to kill, our Xiao Zi Department's combat exploits, others don't know, you don't know?

Chen Yi said: "Since the establishment of the Xiao Zi Department, every battle must be the first, a total of 1,353 battles of all sizes, with great achievements and fame. In this battle, the demon army was engaged, and Xiao Zibu fought fiercely with 3,000 demon troops with only 2,000 people, not retreating an inch, killing and wounding more than 1,300 demon troops. In this battle, Xiao Zi's department from Xiao Yuan down, all fought bravely, and no one fled fearfully of the enemy, which can be called a model for all war departments in Wushuang City. ”

When Xiao Yuan and his subordinates heard this, they were all moved inexplicably, and tears fell like rain. Xiao Yuan wiped away the tears on his face and said sadly: "My lord, it's not that I want to be hypocritical with you, I have to worry about a false name with you." If the number of the Xiao Zibu is revoked, I am afraid that I will have no shame to face those brothers who died in battle after death!"

"No one has said that we want to abolish the Xiao Zi Department!" Chen Yi said word by word: "It's just to temporarily merge you with the Wu Zi Department, and after the demon army is defeated, we will rebuild the Xiao Zi Department!"

Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with a ray of hope, and he asked, "My lord, what you said is true?"

Chen Yi said: "You and I have known and worked together for more than ten years, when did I lie to you?"

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but fall into silence. Since Yundao, he has been following Chen Yi in the southern expedition to the north, conquering and killing, and he knows and trusts Chen Yi's temperament and personality very well. No matter how critical the situation is or how unfavorable the battle situation is, Chen Yi never hides anything from his subordinates.

Chen Yi continued: "I won't hide it from you, now the situation in our Peerless City has reached the most critical moment. The demon army is only temporarily retreating, and they will launch a more fierce attack on us at any time, but Huo Guang and they are slow to do so, refusing to help us. In this sense, our Wushuang City has become an isolated city. Whether we can survive or not is no longer able to rely on others, we can only rely on ourselves. Lord Nangong asked the various departments to temporarily merge, and let the departments withdraw from the front-line positions and retreat to the core positions, which is also not to be done. Because only in this way can we exert more powerful combat power and resist the attack of the demon army. ”

Xiao Yuan said: "My lord, I understand. We agreed to merge into the Wu character department. But I have one more request, I hope the adults can agree, that is, after this battle, no matter whether my Xiao Zi Department is still alive or not, the adults must also restore our Xiao Zi Department. Saying that, he took the battle flag from the palm flag in the battle repair, and cherished it and stroked it, and finally he came to Chen Yi with the battle flag, and said angrily: "This is the battle flag of our Xiao character department, which was given by the adult himself, and now I will return it to the adult, and ask the adult to keep it for us." When the new Xiao Zibu is rebuilt, they will use this battle flag, which is soaked in the blood of countless martyrs, as their banner. ”

Chen Yi held Xiao Yuan's hand tightly and said, "Okay." I promise you. I, Chen Yi, swear here, as long as there is still a breath, I must rebuild the Xiao character department. ”
