If calculated based on the real combat power, the combat power of a Western Barbarian soldier is still better than the combat power of a half-Yutang soldier, and these 50 million Western Barbarian soldiers are equivalent to more than 75 million soldiers. Even though Yutang invested 35 million troops to defend it, it was still defeated and retreated, unable to protect the safety of the four valleys.

As soon as Murong Mad Fu arrived in Dayun, he immediately issued a death order - within two months, he would completely take Zhenyang Pass!

Since the beginning of the war, the Western Barbarians have been attacking frantically every day. So far, Yuxiu Valley has been broken through by the enemy for 80 li, Tumao Valley has been broken through 100 li, and Hanchang Valley and Dulan Valley, which have the widest terrain, have been broken through by 220 li and 200 li.

In just over ten days, the Yutang side has lost four million soldiers, while the five countries in the west cannot be counted, and it is estimated that there are 10 million people.

It is no exaggeration to say that every inch of territory occupied by the Western Barbarians is soaked in the blood of soldiers on both sides. Murong Mad gave an order, and countless corpses were also thrown into the pits of the valley road, and the road was filled with mud. The valley was bloody, and if it weren't for the fact that it was close to winter and the corpses hadn't decomposed for a while, I am afraid that a large-scale plague would have broken out long ago.

Dulan Valley and Hanchang Valley each have less than a hundred miles of danger left, and they will be completely lost. When the time comes, the soldiers will press the border, and Zhenyang Pass, which has only been strengthened in recent years, may not last long.

Broken Soul Pass is located in the south of Zhenyang Pass for 300 miles and the north of Wuteng River for 50 miles. The so-called broken soul, only because of this pass and the subordinate even gorges, vertical rock two valleys are extremely steep, although the depth is only one hundred and fifty miles, it is a shortcut to the passage of the two counties, but the road is dangerous and difficult to win the valley, ordinary people still inevitably fall off the cliff and die, so it is named after the broken soul.

Even the widest part of the gorge and the two valleys of the vertical rock is less than 500 meters, and the narrow place is even only 30 or 50 meters.

The person guarding this pass is Lu Yunfei, a famous general of the Song Kingdom. The dispatch of his troops was quite methodical, and he stubbornly guarded the dangerous terrain everywhere, and Murong Madman sent troops to test it, and then left the corpses of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and withdrew outside the valley.

After listening to Zuo Deng's introduction, everyone was worried, although they already knew that the situation on the Dayun front was not very good, but they never expected that the battle in Zhenyang Pass would be so tragic. In just over ten days, the Dulan Valley and Hanchang Valley, which were risked by nature, were broken through two-thirds.

Everyone is a general who is familiar with military books, and they have already done their homework before going to the front line, so they naturally know the importance of these two valleys. If Ergu is lost, Zhenyang Pass will definitely not be able to be preserved. If this pass is lost again, even if the enemy suffers heavy losses and has no offensive strength, he only needs to hold this choke point to the death, condescendingly defend against the danger, and wait for more troops, so that he can go north to Yingqi, force Shanggu in the east, and press the South China Sea in the south.

However, the Yutang side has no natural danger to bear, its strength is not as good as that of the other party, and its combat strength is far inferior, and it is impossible to predict the direction of the opponent's attack, but how can it dispatch troops? The disaster of destroying the country is not far away!

Chu Yun didn't care whether Yu Tang destroyed the country or not, he was not a person from Yu Tang in the first place, and he had no sense of belonging and honor to this country at all. Originally, he also inherited Yu Xun's love for teaching alchemy, but after discovering that he was being used by this person, this kindness has changed - I, Chu Yun, am by no means a person who does not repay my kindness, as long as Yu Xun speaks clearly, even if he suffers from heaven's curse, what is the point of collecting millions of spirits? But you are so calculating, is it really that I Chu Yun is a fool?

In the past, there was Yu Zhien's ruthlessness of revenge, and then there was Yu Xun's secret calculations, and Chu Yun's favor for the two most powerful figures in the Yu royal family had long been lost, and only Yu Ningzhu's entrustment before leaving made him feel a little warm in his heart.

Therefore, the predicament on the front line of Dayun did not affect his state of mind in the slightest, and he only patted his ass and left after setting up camp to complete the two tasks. One of these two tasks is to collect millions of spirits, and he doesn't bother to collect one more. The second is to kill Murong Madman, this person is the head of the enemy, it is best to be able to kill openly and honestly in the battle array, if there is no opportunity, he can only dispatch 0827 to solve it quietly.

Perhaps due to the influence of the current war situation, everyone silently rushed forward, and their morale gradually declined.

But I heard Dugu Chong suddenly shout: "Why should you be worried! Although the battle situation is unfavorable, I and the talents of the monarchs have not yet been displayed, that is, at this critical moment, Your Majesty sent me and others to go out of the horse, such as a heavy trust, the husband is shrouded in horse leather, and only death will be rewarded!"

Dugu Zhong is worthy of the door, and his words are impassioned and heroic. Immediately, the morale was greatly boosted, and everyone responded angrily, throwing the shadow of the battle situation out of the clouds for a while, and suddenly there was talk and laughter.

"People are dead and birds are facing the sky, Lao Tzu wants to see how powerful these Western barbarian mongrels are!"

"That's it, Wang Miao, your family's heirloom archery can be used, don't lose to those Dijon chops!"

"Lin Zhi, you and I command the army, do you dare to compete?"

The road was dangerous and difficult, and the horses could not run indulgently, and it was not until noon the next day that everyone arrived at Zhenyang Pass.

After a short rest, their own sergeants came and settled everyone.

Subsequently, all the generals and think tanks went to the Zhenyang Pass Council Hall to see the supreme commander of the Yutang side, Generalissimo Tang Sen, and Datianji Yang Zhen.

Chu Yun mingled in the crowd and observed the two silently.

Tang Sen is eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fierce and majestic gaze. Although he is over sixty years old, his temples have seen the wind and frost, but his gestures are tiger and tiger, eagle and wolf, and he is obviously a fierce general who is good at hand-to-hand combat.

Although Yang Zhen is a civil servant, he is also seven feet tall, with eagle nose and harrier eyes, and many wrinkles on his forehead, which is obviously caused by frequent frowning, plus his beard and hair are all white, and he looks like a full wise man.

The two of them took turns to lecture, which was nothing more than some clichés of welcome and encouragement.

After the lecture, he began to read out the appointment arrangements for each person, only to hear Yang Zhen announce loudly: "You are new to the city, and it will take a while to adapt to the battle formation and your respective teams. Therefore, the Generalissimo has made the following arrangements, asking everyone to remember his own task, and to say it only once this day, and not to repeat it!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately cheered up and waited for the arrangement.

"The battle in our Zhenyangguan was the most tragic, and our side invested a total of 35 million troops. Since the fierce war, more than four million sons and daughters of my Yutang have sacrificed their lives for the country!"

Yang Zhen looked sad, "Most of the sons who died in the battle were veterans who were withdrawn from the Xiling Campaign, in the previous battles, they were lucky to save their lives, but in front of Zhenyang Pass, facing the wolf-like Western barbarian enemy, they did not hesitate to guard at the most dangerous level, with their own flesh and blood, greatly delaying the enemy's attack!"

"They are the real heroes of my Yutang!" Yang Zhenhu had tears in his eyes and bowed deeply in the direction of the battle formation.

Heroes, always worthy of respect!

All the generals were moved, and bowed neatly in the direction of the battle formation.

Chu Yun is no exception, as a hot-blooded young man who has studied combat command, he sincerely respects and admires these unknown soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

But Yang Zhen continued: "We still have 30 million troops left, which seems to be strong and strong, but after removing 3 million logistics, engineering, medical and other arms, only 12 million of the remaining 27 million people have experience in battle, and the other 15 million people are all recruits who have never fought before. You are all talented generals, and the gap between the combat power of recruits and veterans must not need to be said by myself. ”

"Since the fall of Xiling, in the past few months, our side has been defeated and retreated, and has built a defensive line several times. However, the five Western Barbarians came prepared, and most of them were equipped with thousands of miles of good horses that returned to the map, moving faster than expected, and coupled with the giant beasts that rushed to the city, fighting on the plains, our side could not stop the enemy's attack at all. Fortunately, there is also the natural danger of the Great Cloud Mountain Range, and he is not afraid of the enemy's horsepower and the advantage of giant beasts, and retains a glimmer of life for my Yutang! (more than 100,000 words are omitted below). ”

As soon as he spoke, Yang Zhen had no sorrow or joy, and his speed of speech was not slow, as if the danger of the battle situation had nothing to do with it, but it was this rigid and monotonous tone that gave people a dull and extremely depressed tone.
