When Wu Xin returned to Tongguan, Dugu Jialuo was very tired and shouted to Wu Xin. He hesitated to speak, but his mood was obviously low and sad.
Not only Dugu Jialuo, but all the generals from Dali returned one after another and came to Wu Xin's side. They all looked tired and worried.
Wu Xin responded expressionlessly: "What's the situation? It doesn't hurt to just tell me!"
Wu Xin knew very well how the war was going. Just looking at Tongguan, which was dyed dark red, the piles of corpses outside the pass, and the death energy and blood energy lingering in the air, he knew that the war was fierce. Wu Xin wanted to force a smile to appease everyone, but he also squeezed out.
Not coming out.
"Young Master..." Dugu Jialuo stopped talking and handed out a jade slip and shouted.
Wu Xin frowned, silently taking it and checking it...
Dugu Jialuo did not report, obviously the situation was not optimistic, and he did not want to say it in public, so as not to shake the morale of the army and the hearts of the people!
"Dead list:
Zhao Li (Eunuch Zhao, the chief steward of Zhao Zhong, the Ten Constant Attendants, was a great monk in the middle stage of the Fusion Realm. He left Tiandu with Li Jun. He was the person with the highest level of cultivation who fell in this battle.)
Guo Li, Zhan Xiong (a general who followed Wu Xin in the early days of the Yellow Turban Storm and is now a Dharma Realm general)
Yu Meng (the leader of the Yellow Turbans in the Faxiang Realm), Feng Ying (the leader of the Yellow Turbans in the Faxiang Realm and a true disciple of the Taiping Sect)
…
There are a total of thirty-seven generals at Dharma Realm and above; 323 generals at Jindan Realm, and 185 generals at Nascent Soul Realm...
Xinwuwei (the worst is also the Jindan realm, not included in the ranks of generals):
Nine thousand seven hundred and fifty-six people were killed; 3544 were seriously injured; 23125 were slightly injured...
Leaving the army:
1,294,533 people were killed; 470,000 were seriously injured... 1,760,000 were slightly injured...
people:
Eighty-seven thousand five hundred and forty-five people were killed, seriously injured...slightly injured...
Reinforcements, Yuan Jun.
Six hundred and fifty-seven thousand and fifty-four people were killed, seriously injured...slightly injured...
enemy:
A conservative estimate is that the casualties are about three to five times ours...
…”
His consciousness swept away, and he became as calm as Wu Xin. His face also changed, and his heartbeat accelerated.
With the casualties counted so quickly, Dugu Jialuo is probably the only female soldier in the world.
Yesterday was just the first battle, and our side suffered such heavy casualties. If this continues, how long can Tongguan... and even the Li Army hold on?
Although Dugu Jialuo estimated that the casualties of the Qiang army were three to five times that of the Li army. However, looking at the endless and dense Qiang army camp outside the pass, it seemed that the casualties did not have much impact at all.
Considering the scale of both sides, the Qiang army was more than ten times that of the Li army, and the casualty gap was only three to five times. To a certain extent, the Li army was at a disadvantage!
The only good thing about the Tongguan Lijun is that the gate protection formation has not been used yet. However, that is purely self-deception. Even if the formation is activated, it will not change much!
Seeing Wu Xin's silence, Dugu Jialuo reminded: "Master! This is just our first battle. The enemy is somewhat probing and underestimates us! Unless the enemy withdraws, otherwise the situation will only be worse than before.
It was tough before..."
"Um!"
Wu Xin simply responded without saying much.
Wu Xin could naturally see this, otherwise the Qiang army would not have been so willing to withdraw with the gong of the Li army, given the size of the Qiang army.
Now that the Qiang army has stopped fighting for the time being, unless they abandon Tongguan, they will definitely change their strategy if they come back again, and they will definitely conquer Tongguan in one go!
"My Emperor! Keep the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood! Our army's base camp is originally in the Eighteenth Mansion of Xiangyang. There is no need to stick to the bank of the Tianhe River, right? The tribes from the north have not arrived yet!"
Zhang Mancheng hesitated for a moment and then intervened to advise.
Wu Xin frowned and looked up at Zhang Mancheng. Zhang Mancheng's eyes were wandering and he was looking at other people. Others had different expressions, either lowering their heads or looking away, and no one responded.
It is obvious that the Dali generals are not optimistic about this war!
It is true that the strength of both sides is not proportional at all. They were a little blindly confident before. Now it has been proved that the Li army is not a heavenly soldier and a general. The foreign tribes in the wasteland are indeed fierce. This makes the generals of Dali not have much confidence!
For a while...
On top of the towering Tongguan wall, there was silence and a heavy atmosphere. Only the dense and continuous sounds of breathing, pain, and ejaculation could be heard faintly.
besides……
That pungent smell of blood!
"If we retreat...the Tiandu area will be gone! The Han Dynasty will be in danger..."
Wu Xin sighed with a heavy tone, and slowly walked to the edge of the wall, overlooking the bloody and ferocious battlefield outside the pass...
At this time, there were many corpse eagles, vultures, black crows, etc. lingering in the air, eyeing the countless corpses on the ground!
The blazing sun, the dark clouds, the blood...
Corpse birds, battlefields, corpses...
The wind wept like a ghost, rolling up thick blood, and there was also the faint wail of the dead souls!
The scorching sun was obscured by blood, and the light fell on the earth, dragging up long, long shadows...
"My emperor..."
Zhang Mancheng hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and shouted.
As soon as he spoke, Dugu Jialuo interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and waved to everyone, telling them to step back and rest!
As the leader of the force, the pressure on Li Huangwu Xin at this time was no less than that of anyone else.
Dugu Jialuo believed that Emperor Li also wanted to get what the generals of Da Li wanted, and there was no need for anyone to remind him.
Understanding and doing it have always been two different things!
this is the truth!
The blazing light, passing through the diffuse evil clouds, death energy, blood energy, etc., fell on the wall of Tongguan, spreading a long shadow...
Wu Xin supported the wall with both hands and looked quietly outside the pass...
Dugu Jialuo stood beside Wu Xin, accompanying him quietly...
There was silence between the two, only the blood that permeated the air, and the gentle romance.
"Why……"
After a long time, maybe a stick of incense, maybe a quarter of an hour, Wu Xin let out a long sigh, without looking back, and asked to himself:
"Jialuo! With our current lineup alone, can you hold off the enemy for three days?"
"Um?!"
Dugu Jialuo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Li Huang, who had been meditating for so long, still didn't want to give up Tongguan. Was he planning to fight to the end?
In the minds of Dugu Jialuo, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and other Dali elders, the Han Dynasty is after all a place of conquest, not the homeland. It is enough to do your best, and it is not worth fighting to the death!
"Jialuo?!" Wu Xin tilted his head and asked again.
Dugu Jialuo's mood was complicated, but he responded confidently and firmly: "Yes! He is in jail!"
"Give me three days! We must defend Tongguan, and after that... just let fate take its course!"
Wu Xin nodded, took the initiative to grab Dugu Jialuo's warm and soft little hand for the first time, and said in an extremely serious tone.
"Definitely!" Dugu Jialuo's pretty gray face turned red, but he grabbed Wu Xin's big hand and solemnly promised again!
"Moon worship to the four elders!"
Wu Xin's big hand tightened, and he suddenly shouted in a deep voice, causing the four elders of worshiping the moon to appear quickly, and listened to Wu Xin's instructions:
"Return to Xiangyang immediately and bring Duke Qili here, immediately! At full speed! With all your strength!"
"yes!"
The Fourth Moon Worshiper was stunned for a moment, hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing. He immediately turned into four streams of light and flew away...
Qili Gong Li Daoyuan is one of the five great Qigongs of Dali. His cultivation level is not low, but his strength and combat power are not high. He is a typical auxiliary minister.
