February 7th.

The battle outside the Canglin Valley was stalemate between the two sides for four consecutive days, and finally, under the onslaught of the demons, the imperial position could no longer hold on, the four major corps in front suffered heavy losses, and tens of thousands of wounded soldiers poured in the wounded barracks every day, but the military doctors that the Elixir Division could send were very limited, and many soldiers had died of their wounds.

Late at night, Chu Yao wore the long white dress of the archdeacon of the Elixir Division, with sweat on her face, and bandaged the broken leg of a wounded soldier, which was no longer known to be the first wounded soldier she had treated today.

A deacon of the Elixir Division, who was about forty years old, said respectfully: "Archdeacon Chu Yao, the rain commander of the Gentian Legion has sent someone to pick you up from the wounded barracks. ”

"Ah, why?" Chu Yao looked surprised.

The deacon said: "Most of the front-line positions can't be defended, once the demons break through the position of the Iron Blade Army, they will drive straight into the plains outside the Canglin Valley, and we won't be able to leave if we want to." ”

"But......" Chu Yao bit her red lip, looked at the countless wounded soldiers lying on the ground in the wounded barracks, and said quite unbearably: "What about these wounded soldiers?"

One person opened the white curtain and walked in, it was Lin Muyu's personal bodyguard Chang Bai Yin, he hugged his fists and said: "Archdeacon Chu Yao, these wounded soldiers will be evacuated soon, you are the archdeacon of the Elixir Division, and you are the elder sister of the commander, so please bring everyone from the headquarters of the Elixir Division to come with me first, there will be more wounded soldiers waiting for you to treat in the rear, please don't embarrass your subordinates, let's go." ”

Chu Yao didn't insist any longer, took off the gloves with blood on his hands, and said, "Well, immediately gather everyone at the headquarters of the Elixir Division and retreat with the Gentian Battalion." ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, under the starry sky, a group of white-robed members of the Elixir Division boarded the carriage one after another, and Bai Yin commanded hundreds of Gentian Battalion Iron Horsemen to guard the side, shouting, "Go!"

The convoy quickly left the wounded barracks, and the moonlight fell all the way to the edge of the canyon, where the sound of killing was soaring on the land of nearly ten miles outside the huge canyon, and the demon clan armored demon army was attacking the human position like crazy, and many armored demons were still rushing to kill with resentment on their faces even if their arms and legs were broken, like wild beasts.

The attack of the armor demon frightened most of the imperial soldiers, many people were brutally killed without being able to resist at all, blood flowed all over the ground, and soon, the armor demon army flooded over, and what was even worse was that the screams of the wingman legion continued to be heard in the air, taking advantage of the night, these wingmen swished down countless arrows, and the imperial army could only be beaten in vain but could not fight back.

On the front army position, Luo Xin carried a spear and stabbed back and forth in the group of armored demons, the purple dragon martial soul was shining in the sky, extremely powerful, but the people around him were fighting less and less, and there was not much left in the blink of an eye.

"Major General Luo Xin!"

On a hill, many soldiers waved the imperial battle flag, and under the banner, Pingnan Marquis Xiangyu sat on a tall horse and shouted: "Major General Luo Xin, retreat! We can't fight anymore, otherwise tens of thousands of us will die here!"

"What!?"

Luo Xin's tiger glared: "No! Once our Chinese army retreats, the Shenwei battalion of the left and right armies and Su Long's department will be covered and killed, and the demons will form a joint encirclement after breaking through the Chinese army, blocking them on both sides of the valley and killing them one by one, and they will be unable to fly!"

Xiang Yu immediately held up a token and said, "Major General Luo Xin, this is the token given by Her Royal Highness the Empress to the commander of the former army, please obey the order and immediately lead the Iron Blade Army to retreat!"

"You!"

Luo Xin looked behind him, there were at least 20,000 people in the Iron Blade Army, although the bloody battle was extremely fierce, but if he blocked the Shenwei Battalion and Su Long Army on both wings for an hour or two to retreat first, he might be able to save Su Long Army and Shenwei Battalion, but as soon as Xiang Yu's general order came out, Luo Xin had no choice, and under Su Muyun's continuous teachings, Luo Xin naturally knew the duty of a soldier.

With a face full of unwillingness, Luo Xin sharpened his spear and shouted: "Iron Blade Army, retreat with Xiang Yu's army! The third battalion will leave behind the palace! The first battalion will come with me to cover the retreat of the Shenwei battalion of the right army! The second battalion will go with the deputy commander Su Wan to cover the retreat of the left army Su Yong's army, go quickly, don't hesitate!"

"Yes!"

For a time, the main force of the Iron Blade Army retreated, and the three battalions of about 6,000 soldiers were divided into three roads, one behind the palace, two ways to cover, and went straight to the other two battlefields, but the cry of the winged army in the air was very sharp, and one arrow after another fell in the air, constantly shooting the galloping cavalry on the ground, Luo Xin looked up, and his eyes were full of blood: "Bastard thing!"

Xiang Yu clenched his iron fists and shouted angrily: "Luo Xin, this bastard thing, is so arbitrary, everyone who comes, they all retreat for me, give up the battlefield to the demon clan, send someone to send a message to the Chinese army, tell His Highness that the front army is defeated, and we can't stop it!"

"Yes!"

......

"What?

In the Chinese military tent, Qin Yin stood up, looking at the herald with a shocked face, and on the side, Su Muyun and Yi Yifan stood up at the same time and said, "Oh no......"

Yong Yifan looked at the herald and asked sharply, "Xiang Yu ordered a retreat?"

"Yes, Divine Marquis. ”

"This guy!" Yong Yifan's eyes were full of fierce light, and he said: "The retreat of the Chinese army without warning means that the army covered by the two wings will be surrounded and annihilated by the demons, how could Xiang Yu make such a mistake after using troops for a long time, he is trapping my Shenwei camp to the point of no return!

Su Muyun hurriedly grabbed Yi Yifan's wrist and said, "Shenhou!"

Yong Yifan glanced back at him and said, "Yun Gong, the Shenwei Camp is the blood of my Yong Yifan's life, how can I let them die in this Canglin Valley in vain......"

Su Muyun's cloudy eyes were full of helplessness, and said: "Shenhou, the old ministers of the empire are getting fewer and fewer day by day, Du Hai, Lei Hong and others have already left us, if Shenhou goes here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back, Wanwang Shenhou cherishes his body, and he will try his best to assist His Highness in unifying this country in the future, so let the old man go." ”

Yong Yifan was stunned.

At this time, the herald said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Yunzhong, the prince, Major General Luo Xin has already led the main battalion of the Iron Blade Army to cover the retreat of the Shenwei Camp and the Su Long Army!"

"Xin'er......" Su Muyun's arm trembled slightly, and said, "Someone, lead my personal guards to advance five miles, and respond to the young general!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Lin Muyu stood up, looked at the herald with a pair of clear eyes, and said, "You stop." ”

"Commander Rain, what's the matter?" the herald beat in his heart.

Lin Muyu asked: "You tell me honestly, has the front position really reached the point where it can't hold it at all?"

"This ......"

The herald was apprehensive for a moment, and said: "Commander Qiyu, the offensive of the demon clan today is very fierce, at least nearly 200,000 armor demons have been mobilized to attack our position, and the brothers in the front position have almost shot all the arrows, and the book of heaven is running out and can't resist the attack of the demon clan, so Commander Xiang Yu ordered the whole army to retreat." ”

"Answer me directly, can you still support it?"

"Yes...... Yes, but it won't last tomorrow. ”

"!"

Lin Muyu said in a low voice: "What is Xiang Yu doing, is it necessary to give up the Shenwei Battalion and the Su Long Army to the demon clan to eat? One night, enough time for the left army and the right army to retreat, why didn't the front army resist?"

The herald trembled, and dared to answer.

Yong Yifan frowned, and said: "It's useless to say anything for today's plan, let's think about what to do next?"

Lin Muyu said: "Since Xiang Yu ordered the withdrawal of the army, it will definitely be a thousand miles away, it is impossible not to chase and kill with the personality of shallow wind and thunder rush, their wish is to fight with us in the field on the plain, and the first battle of the imperial army has already been lost!"

Su Muyun raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what's next?"

Almost everyone's eyes were on Lin Muyu, everyone knew that the Iron Blade Army, the Shenwei Battalion, the Xiang Yu Army, and the Su Long Army, the four major corps, had already fought with the demons and lost, and the only hope was that the Gentian Battalion was very well preserved, if the Gentian Battalion was not able to turn the tide, then the 500,000 troops of the Imperial Army would probably really be eaten by the demons in Canglin Valley.

"Ladies and gentlemen, command all the troops to retreat in an orderly manner. ”

Lin Muyu's voice was a little weak, and he said, "I will arrange for the main force of the 50,000 Gentian Battalion to set up a formation to intercept and kill the demon pursuers on the way to retreat, don't worry." ”

"Okay, then thank you Commander Rain!"

Everyone nodded.

Qin Yin didn't say a word, but her beautiful eyes looked to the southeast, that was the direction of the Sword Pavilion, the imperial army was defeated, if Qin Yi of the Sword Pavilion didn't send troops again, I am afraid that the future of the entire continent would be out of control.

......

On the north side of Canglin Valley, in the face of more and more demons, Su Long's army retreated one after another, and they couldn't distinguish each other in the dark night, only hearing the roars of the demons endlessly, like an ocean of covering and killing.

Su Yong rode his beloved war horse, holding a long knife, and shouted with a blue face: "Military newspaper, where is the military newspaper?"

A centurion said in a loud voice: "Commander, Xiang Yu ordered the whole army to retreat!"

"What?"

Su Yong's heart was cold, and he said: "This military order has not been transmitted to me at all, Xiang Yu, a dog thief, is trying to trap our Su Long army from a catastrophe?

"It's too late, Commander, look there!"

Su Yong looked back at the past, under the moonlight, countless armor demons in the distance came out of the valley, they had formed a circle of encirclement, and in an instant, Su Yong's heart seemed to fall into a glacier, and muttered: "It's over...... It's over......"

"Commander, what do we do now, hurry up and give the order!" said a captain with a severed arm in tears.

Su Yan gritted his teeth: "Go, retreat to the north with me, swim over the Daojiang River with the neck of the war horse, how many people can pass by, it's better than being killed here!"

"Yes!"

A group of infantry put down their shields and armor one after another, and rushed down the Daojiang River with short swords, waving their arms and slapping the water to rush to the other side of the river.

However, there were suddenly screams in the water, and the sound of "Jiji" came, and the river was blood-red in a blink of an eye, and the thousands of soldiers who were the first to enter the river were all killed, it was the horseshoe crab army of the demon clan!

"......"

Su Yong was so angry that he trembled, and roared angrily: "Brothers, the time has come to be loyal to the country, kill me!"

"Kill!"

A group of commanders and commanders led the remnants of the army to regroup, wielding their blades and rushing towards the tide-like armor demons, but when they looked back, they found that Su Yong's saber had wiped his neck, and the whole person lost his breath of life and fell from his horse.

......

In the early morning of February 8, 7736 in the imperial calendar, Su Yong, the deputy governor of the soldiers and horses of Yunzhong Province and the commander of the corps, was defeated and killed himself!
