dusk.

Western Region.

The forward of the Storm Legion led by Antu Lu has crossed the ancient city of Huyin where the main force of the Six Wings Legion is stationed, and headed south under the afterglow of the setting sun.

The human world has also been monitoring the movements of various legions in the entire heaven. When Zhao Zian received the news that a storm legion numbering more than 100,000 arrived at Hu Yin Ancient City without any stop, but went directly south, he had already guessed that the heaven high-level intentions.

He felt that the military capabilities of the commander leading the six armies of Heaven this time were much higher than those of Gu Yuqi ten years ago.

First, they restrained Zhebie's more than five million elite wolf riders stationed in Yingshan, and then the main force quickly headed south without any stop. It was obvious that the opponent's coach had a huge appetite and wanted to eat the millions of Chinese soldiers stationed outside Yumen Pass. Qingqi.

Zhao Zian and a group of high-ranking generals pointed in front of the huge map of the Western Region.

A senior staff member said: "Young Marshal, the number of six-legged beast riders who crossed Hu Yin Ancient City is about 100,000. This is the vanguard of the Heavenly Storm Legion.

Behind them were the main force of the 400,000-strong Storm Legion marching south, following closely behind.

The main force of the Madman Legion, the Giant Legion, and the Skeleton Legion are in the third echelon going south. At the end are the bulky Legion of Destruction and the Ghost Legion that protects the Legion of Destruction.

The enemy's main force is divided into four echelons and advances towards Yumen Pass. The enemy forces in the direction of Yinshan are only to contain General Zhebie. The enemy has placed the main battlefield at Yumen Pass.

We should immediately shrink the cavalry on the periphery and withdraw the cavalry southward to avoid the sharp edge of the Celestial Beast Cavalry. "

A middle-aged general said: "Lao Yu is right. Those on the northern battlefield at the moment are all light cavalry. They hardly carry heavy weapons such as eight-oxen crossbows. They are no match for the six-legged beast cavalry in the heaven.

If we want to face the six-legged beast cavalry head-on, we have to rely on our heavy armored cavalry, the brave and capable prairie wolf cavalry, and the beast cavalry from southern and northern Xinjiang. If the light cavalry goes up, it will be a complete death. "

"I don't agree with the two generals. Now we have finally surrounded the more than 20,000 Celestial Cavalry scouts who have rushed in. As long as we are fast, we can get in front of the 100,000 six-legged beast cavalry forwards. , completely eating more than 20,000 enemies.

If we retreat south now, the encirclement that millions of cavalrymen have worked so hard to close in the past two days will be in vain.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If more than 20,000 heavenly cavalry are allowed to ride on the six-legged beast cavalry again, it will be difficult to deal with. "

Dozens of high-ranking generals quickly divided into two camps.

The conservative general suggested that the human cavalry in the desert Gobi retreat immediately to avoid the sharp edge of the six-legged beast cavalry.

Ten years ago in the wilderness of southern Xinjiang, they had fought against the six-legged beast riders and knew the fighting power of the six-legged beast riders.

If the light cavalry had a head-on conflict with the six-legged beast cavalry in the wilderness, the losses would be very heavy.

The generals of the Eagle Faction advocated retreating after eating the more than 20,000 Celestial Cavalry scouts who were surrounded.

The two sides were at loggerheads.

Zhao Zian did not express his attitude, but looked at Nangong Yan.

The Pegasus troops used mysterious weapons to win the first battle and severely damaged the Six-Winged Army forward in the heavens at a very small cost, which impressed the world.

Therefore, Zhao Zian wanted to see what Nangong Yan's attitude was.

He said: "General Nangong, do you have any opinions on this battle?"

The generals who were arguing immediately shut their mouths and looked at Nangong Yan.

Nangong Yan walked to the map, but she did not immediately indicate her attitude of fighting or retreating.

Instead, he pointed at the map and said: "On this four hundred-mile road from Hu Yin Ancient City to Yumen Pass, there are eighteen cities of various sizes scattered around.

This time the catastrophe occurred one month earlier than rumored. The people in these ancient cities, numbering at least 270,000, had not completely evacuated before the catastrophe gate was discovered.

According to the news coming back, the remaining people in these ancient cities are already migrating south, but the speed is very slow. It will take at least three days to cross the vicinity of Yumen.

What's more, there are hundreds of thousands of people near Yumen Pass.

We cannot withdraw our troops from the wilderness until these people have evacuated to a safe place. "

A black-faced general said: "General Nangong, your words are a bit general, what do you mean by a safe place?

Under the catastrophe, where is there a safe place?

Now that Yumen Pass has been closed, Yanmen Pass is too far from Iron Gate Pass, so people can only go south.

But how could it be possible for two feet to outrun a six-legged beast?

Don't forget, the six-legged beast riders are called the Storm Legion, and they can run faster than our best horses.

These people can no longer be saved! "

Nangong Yan pointed at the map and said: "Tianying Pass, let the people of the Western Regions enter the Middle Earth through Tianying Pass."

Qu Jiuyuan jumped out and said: "General Nangong, the Red Feather Army of your Heavenly Lady Kingdom is stationed at Tianying Pass. You are familiar with that place. It is a cliff, and you need to climb with ropes to get in and out.

These hundreds of thousands of people, all old, weak, women and children, how could they possibly climb up there? "

All the generals nodded slightly.

Nangong Yan said: "Then make a few ladders so that the old, weak, women and children can enter the customs through the ladders."

Qu Jiuyuan said: "Even if you use a ladder, it will take time. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered at Tianying Pass. It will not take a few hours for them all to enter. It will take at least two days, plus the money spent on the road. The time, conservatively estimated, will take at least five days.

The Heavenly Realm Army is already within reach, and the vanguard has appeared four hundred miles away. We don't have any extra time. "

The generals nodded.

Although Qu Jiuyuan has a big head and a thick neck, what he said just now is reasonable.

Even if the people of the Western Regions were allowed to enter the pass from Tianying Pass with a ladder, it would be too late.

Nangong Yan said word by word: "Then delay. The swords and guns in the hands of our soldiers are not made of paper, nor are they for display, but are used to kill the enemy.

Generals, we can't abandon a companion. If we don't save these women and children and watch them die under the swords of the Heavenly Realm Army, it will have a great impact on our morale on earth.

The bloody battle in Kunlong Valley in Xiangxi, the battle of Guangming Valley in Taishan, the battle of Yushan in Qinling, the blocking battle of Douyunpo in Huangshan, the tug-of-war in Zijing Mountain in Jinling, the 160,000 women's army in Wanghuai Mountain in Haozhou, and the 180,000 dead soldiers in Jiangjun Mountain in Lin'an... These tragic battles were all launched to buy time for the people to evacuate.

Many times, in order to cover the transfer of civilians, the number of soldiers sacrificed was several times more than the number of civilians transferred, but no one retreated a single step. If we retreat today, this battle will be lost. "

The generals looked at each other.

They all suddenly felt ashamed.

A woman can make such an impassioned speech, but a grown man like him is thinking of making excuses for abandoning hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Zhao Zian said slowly: "General Nangong, it is difficult to stop the heavenly army in the wilderness for at least five days. Do you have any good ideas?"

Nangong Yan said: "Use the human cavalry to hold back the enemy's storm army, use the Pegasus army to hold back the enemy's six-wing army, use Longmen as the last blocking point, rely on the ancient city of Longmen and Longbei Mountain to block the enemy's three major armies of madmen, giants, and skeletons heading south."

Zhao Zian and the generals all focused their attention on the Longmen area on the map.
