"Ah! Save me!"

"Run away, quickly!"

"Don't chase me! Don't chase me!"

The entire Juhu Pass fell into complete turmoil. After Xiang Rong ascended to the top of the city, the Dali soldiers had no chance of defending and immediately retreated. They couldn't even hold on to a stick of incense before they collapsed.

When a large number of soldiers saw their companions being slaughtered and devoured, they were so frightened that they fled towards the city.

Xiang Rong pursued closely, chewing the corners of his mouth full of black hair, and the green boy glowed fiercely, like a poisonous snake, staring closely at its prey.

In their eyes, Dali soldiers are prey!

After catching up with him, Xiangrong chopped him over with his sword and then started to bite him.

The entire city looks like this, which makes people feel horrified when they see it!

The soldiers of Da Li fled south one after another, running with all their might, discarding their helmets and armor along the way.

They know that if they are hostile to Linzhan and are captured, they can still survive if they surrender, but if they are caught by Xiangrong, the end will be extremely tragic!

As a result, the momentum of running could not be stopped. Many soldiers ran wildly and passed many camps. Under their leadership, the soldiers in the camp also fled in horror.

Even Juhu Pass has been captured. They are just a camp with no effect at all. Why don't they escape and wait for death?

As a result, all the way from Shiwanda Mountain to the south were human heads. The soldiers had already taken off their heads, armor, and stomachs, leaving only terror on their faces.

Even though they were running out of breath and their faces pale, they still didn't dare to stop.

If you stop, you will die!

…

"Report!" A loud shout came from outside the hall.

A soldier rushed inside and was about to report, but he saw a man wearing a dragon robe and a solemn face sitting on the main seat. He was the Emperor of Dali.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then saluted quickly, "I'm sorry to see you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Dali was in a state of confusion. When he came to court early in the morning, he learned of the Xiangrong invasion. He hesitated for a long time before making the decision to follow Linzhan and seek peace.

After the court was dismissed, he kept pacing in the palace, full of anxiety.

Although orders have been sent to the Minister of War, any news must be reported immediately.

But the palace was some distance from the Ministry of War, and he could not get the news in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, I moved to the lobby of the Ministry of War and sat down here.

Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, an urgent report came. Emperor Dali was horrified and said quickly, "No need to be polite, report quickly!"

His heart became tense.

According to the Xiangrong's attack power, the news report coming this time is likely to be bad news.

The soldier's face was quite solemn and he responded urgently, "Reporting to your majesty, the front line is 800 miles away. An urgent report came in. Both Juhu Pass and Zhenyuan Pass have been lost. There are about 150,000 Xiangrong and they have crossed the 100,000 mountain." ,Enter Cangyuan Continent!”

Emperor Dali's heart suddenly sank, sinking directly into his stomach!

It was as if a hand was strangling his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe, and he couldn't help but gasp!

Many officials in the hall were also shocked, their eyes wide open and their hearts filled with horror!

In just one morning, such huge bad news came. The two important passes could not be defended for a long time?

It is even possible that these two great passes could not be defended even for a short period of time.

It's just that it takes time to deliver the message, and it's only been a morning...

The more they thought about it, the more frightened many officials became, wondering what to do with Dali in the future.

Some of them have begun to wonder whether they should send their family papers to the prison for safety.

"Waste! They are all waste!" Emperor Dali shouted angrily, "My father spent a lot of national power to build the two great passes, but they have ruined them. They are a bunch of waste!"

When everyone heard this, they smiled bitterly and remained silent.

Seeing that Emperor Dali was cursing angrily, but it was not beneficial to the situation, the Minister of War could only interrupt and said, "Your Majesty, you should understand Xiangrong's next move at this moment."

Emperor Dali stopped talking, looked at the soldiers, and said angrily, "Why don't you tell me quickly?"

The soldier quickly replied, "According to the urgent report, after Xiangrong captured the two pass cities, they did not immediately go south, but took a short rest!"

The Minister of War was suddenly surprised, rest?

Something weird!

He frowned and asked, "What exactly did you do?"

The world knows nothing about Xiang Rong, so we have to try our best to understand each other's behavior habits in order to better deal with these humanoid beasts.

"They... they..." At this point, the soldier became hesitant.

It wasn't that he didn't dare to say it, it was just that it was inappropriate to tell His Majesty the matter.

Emperor Dali said angrily, "Speak quickly!"

The soldier was shocked, suddenly thought of other words, and said quickly, "They are cleaning the battlefield!"

One of the ministers was extremely suspicious and said, "It's impossible. Xiang Rong is not well-educated, so it's impossible for him to be so leisurely and relaxed."

Even they, the Yuan tribesmen who are well-educated and knowledgeable about etiquette, rarely stop their offensive to collect corpses from the enemy during wars.

The soldiers could only smile bitterly, but still did not dare to say directly, "They... they are replenishing their physical strength."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, confused, but when they connected the other's two sentences together, they suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but vomit, and turned pale.

Emperor Dali didn't understand. Seeing that some officials turned pale, he quickly said, "I don't understand. Please explain it to me!"

"Your Majesty, Xiang Rong likes... likes food and people..." After saying this, the pale face of the Minister of War became as white as paper.

Emperor Dali was shocked, his eyes widened, and he took a deep breath!

After being speechless for a long time and trembling violently, Emperor Dali finally came to his senses and shouted hastily, "Hurry, stop these beasts quickly, we must not let them reach Lidu!"

The two great passes cannot block each other, and it is difficult for Lidu to have any effect.

After all, stop these beasts in the north, otherwise, both Lidu and him will be in danger!

The Minister of the Ministry of War nodded quickly, picked up a document from the table and handed it to Emperor Dali, "Your Majesty, after the Ministry of War discussed it, some measures have been taken. Please take a look at it!"

Emperor Dali was so flustered that he couldn't see anything, so he quickly said, "Read it to me!"

The Minister of War nodded, "The five cities in the north were massacred by Xiang Rong sixteen years ago. They were cleaned up three years ago and thousands of households were transferred to them. They are somewhat popular, but these five cities have few people.

, unable to withstand the Xiang Rong, we should abandon them and move the people into Wanye City and Lan City!"

Emperor Dali frowned and asked, "Between the five cities in the north and Wanye City are Xiucheng and Tingcheng. How to deal with these two cities?"

The Minister of War replied, "Both of these two cities are not strong cities and cannot withstand the Xiang Rong, so they should be abandoned. The minister suggested that the people in these two cities move south to avoid being brutally attacked by the Xiang Rong!"

Emperor Dali pondered for a moment, still frowning, "Continue!"

"In order to strengthen the defense of Wanye City and Lan City, Weichen has urgently mobilized 100,000 soldiers and horses, as well as a large number of city defense armaments, but this is not enough. We also need to recruit men from the north, five men to three men, and three men to the city.

Seiji!"

"If necessary, all the people in the city, old and young, women and children, can be recruited as civilian laborers to serve as laborers to defend the city! Therefore, strict inspections should be carried out and patrols should be increased to prevent people in the north from escaping without authorization!" the expression on the face of the Minister of War

, quite heavy.

He knew that this was an unjust act, but he had no choice. After many battles, there were not many Dali soldiers left.

Originally, the Ministry of War's plan was to relocate the people in the northern cities, transfer soldiers, and turn them into military towns to stop the Xiang Rong.

But a military town requires hundreds of thousands of troops. Dali may be able to build one, or even two, but then there will be no spare strength.

This quantity is simply not enough.

If it is defeated and all the soldiers are killed or injured, then Dali will surely perish in the future!

Therefore, in desperation, we can only choose this method, tie the people into chariots, and fight together for the great separation.

Emperor Dali listened silently and said nothing.

Glancing at the other party, the Minister of War continued, "In addition to strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, guarding the fortified city, and strengthening ourselves, we also need to weaken the opponent. These beasts like raw meat. Wei Chen suggested that diseased cattle and sheep be placed in the abandoned cities, and

Pour poison into wells and surrounding stagnant water, and wait for the elephants to eat it, which can cause weakening of combat power or casualties!"

After hearing this, Emperor Dali relaxed his brows a little and nodded, feeling quite satisfied with the method proposed by the Ministry of War.

But as if he thought of something, he asked doubtfully, "Where is General Gu, how to arrange it?"

The Minister of War responded, "General Gu has led his troops to the north, and Wei Chen has placed them on the second line of defense. If Wanye City and Lan City fall, General Gu will lead his troops to fight against the Xiang Rong!"

Emperor Dali nodded solemnly, "I will do as you say and make arrangements immediately without any mistakes!"

…

After leaving the southern border, we marched to the city.

In the lobby, the two leaders of the Zirong Alliance, the chief and deputy leader, both had anxious expressions on their faces and kept pacing back and forth in the hall.

The news of Xiangrong's invasion has spread throughout Dali.
To be continued...
