After a brief thought, seeing Jin Ye fleeing with his troops and horses in a panic, the leader of the troops and horses made the same decision as Jin Ye.

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

"Go back!! The rebels are coming!!!"

he shouted at the top of his lungs.

The roar echoed in the army, and the ordering soldiers followed suit. The sound spread farther and farther, and everyone in the entire army was informed of the battle situation on the front line.

The rebels have broken through Zhongnan Pass and are now attacking in large numbers.

The imperial troops who first rushed to Zhongnanguan to support them returned in defeat after being killed.

Moreover, the number of rebel troops who entered the pass was probably innumerable. They were in panic and the morale of the army was in chaos.

Without any further pause, the army immediately turned around and fled back.

Li Jing's pursuit continues.

Although these so-called "reinforcements" are now running faster than the other and flee before engaging in battle, they cannot stop and need to continue to pursue.

This is the "military force".

Zhongnan Pass was broken, which gave the imperial reinforcements a signal of defeat.

Therefore, even though Li Jing did not have too many soldiers and horses in his hands at the moment, with such a strong and powerful signal, he scared off the reinforcements.

Youdao means that the front line is defeated, and if the soldiers and horses in the rear cannot get favorable information, they will just flee with the defeated soldiers.

Therefore, in the next few days, the troops who came one after another inevitably fell into panic after seeing such a large number of defeated troops.

More and more troops were defeated, and they were already timid before they even rushed to the battlefield.

The hasty arrival and then hasty escape left everyone in the army feeling discouraged and feeling a huge sense of despair.

It seemed that the rebels were invincible and invincible.

"The situation is really going to change! This... it's too late to save the day!"

A veteran among the group of broken soldiers farthest away from Li Jing's pursuit sighed softly.

A tall young soldier next to him had a sullen face and immediately retorted:

"No, there is still a chance!"

"We don't have many soldiers and horses, and we have multiple armies. There is no way we can gather together to fight the rebels!"

Hearing this, the fat veteran glanced at him and said coldly:

"You still can't understand? It's over!"

"They are all running away, how can we fight?"

The man immediately refuted: "Nonsense!"

"It's just that the rebels came too fast. We suddenly encountered them on the road, and we all came all the way, so we couldn't defeat them."

"If we find a good place and deploy reasonable tactics, we can still give it a try with the rebels!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another short and sturdy soldier walked next to him, with a look of disdain on his tired face:

"Tactics? No tactics at all!"

"These generals have fled with us, who can plan a strategy!"

The tall soldier frowned and said immediately:

"I know that we are all running away now, and it is inevitable that we are a little panicked, but I still hope that everyone can cheer up!"

"There is still a chance! General Zhenguo will not watch the army attack Jinling. He must have a countermeasure!"

"Isn't there news that General Zhenguo has deployed troops and horses in Huichang, and he will definitely lead us to victory!"

Although the words fell, the fat veteran couldn't help but keep saying:

"It's over."

"It's over...no chance..."

Seeing him so downcast and full of words of frustration, the tall soldier's face turned angry and he immediately raised his voice and said:

"Don't say that again!"

"Believe in General Zhenguo! He can lead us to defeat the rebels!"

The veteran stopped talking. He decided not to argue with the tall, young and energetic soldier.

But at this time, another face popped out next to the two of them. It was a middle-aged soldier with a handsome face. He looked at the tall soldier and said:

"How many generals have led their troops to suppress the rebels. They fought so many times, and without exception, they were all defeated."

"Can General Zhenguo lead us to defeat the rebels in the next battle? It will be difficult."

"You..." The tall soldier was speechless for a moment and could only stare at him angrily.

But fortunately, there were still people who helped him speak, and another person said:

"General Zhenguo is not an ordinary person. He has been on the battlefield for many years and has never experienced defeat."

"Although we have been defeated, as long as General Zhenguo is still there, there will definitely be hope of victory!"

"I believe he can turn the tide of the war and lead us back to victory!"

Hearing this, the veteran soldier couldn't help but said:

"Isn't there a victorious general in the army before? That's..." He scratched his head, thought for a moment and then continued:

"It's Huang Tianhu, the youngest son of the former General Zhenguo. I remember that he never lost a battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged soldier with a handsome face teased:

"Those who have been defeated."

"Didn't he lose a battle on Beikuku Grassland before? This is the only one he lost."

"Later, Huma, who killed General Chang Sheng, was also killed by the rebels."

The tall soldier couldn't stand such arrogant words any longer. He became furious and immediately denounced:

"Shut up! Don't say such words here!"

"It has demoralized the army! Everyone has lost their will to fight!"

"It's okay if this keeps up. We'll lose before we even fight!"

But the man continued: "Really? We didn't fight, we just started running away."

"Hunter, you are too superficial."

"Fuck your grandma!" The tall soldier blushed and punched him.

The man quickly dodged away, but he was still shouting:

"You kid, you're even making a move!"

The tall soldier didn't say anything, he just kept pumping his fists, aiming straight at the man's mouth.

"Son of a bitch! You think I'm afraid of you, don't you?"

The verbal dispute gradually developed into a fist fight, and the two became angry and started fighting.

Until a loud shout came:

"What are you doing?"

"If you want to fight, fight the rebels. Why fight your own people?"

"If you fight again, you will be punished by military law!"

This majestic shout made the two of them wake up immediately and hurriedly separated.

"If the situation were not urgent now, I would have cut off your heads!"

"The enemy is currently fighting among himself!"

The two of them did not dare to reply, but lowered their heads and covered their hurt faces or mouths with their hands.

"Go faster! The rebels are still chasing me!"

"Hurry up and get to Huichang! General Zhenguo is preparing for war there!"

"We are just retreating in order to advance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man rode away on horseback.

-

In Huichang City.

Looking at the messengers who kept coming to deliver the news, Jin Jianren's face turned pale.

But this time, he was surprisingly not furious.

It was just a strong sense of crisis that lingered in his heart, making him put his hand on his forehead and sit in the chair without saying a word.

The generals gathered around him without saying a word.

After a long time, Jin Jianren raised his head, looked at Jin Zhao and said in a deep voice:

"You really hit the mark."

"Zhongnanguan was actually lost before the reinforcements arrived."

Jin Zhao's face was solemn and he didn't speak.

Jin Ming on the side had a stern look on his face. He waved his fist and said sternly:

"And us!"

"If you are in this city, as soon as the rebels come, kill them!!"

Jin Jianren glanced at him and nodded silently.

But in his mind, an indescribable feeling suddenly emerged.

This feeling made his eyelids twitch.

After many years on the battlefield, Jin Jianren understood that this was his body's instinctive reaction when danger came.

Zhongnan Pass was broken too quickly. It seems that the rebels are still very powerful.

And this means....

At this moment, Jin Ming's exciting voice interrupted his thoughts.

"General! We are ready for everything!"

"All the soldiers and horses are in this city, and the defenses at the top of the city have been prepared. We will do our best in this battle!"

"Once the rebels are defeated, General, the grand hegemony will be achieved!!!"

There was no trace of fear in Jin Ming's eyes, but instead he was extremely excited.

His state infected the other generals, and everyone cast fiery glances at Jin Jianren.

Under this scorching gaze, Jin Jianren's thoughts stopped.

And this also made Jin Jianren understand.

The arrow is on the string and must be fired.

Then, he stood up and shouted:

"The rebels are here, I will kill them!!"
