With this simple sentence, Shen Qiye's face suddenly darkened.
He never thought that the generals of the Shen family, who had always obeyed his orders and prohibitions, would disobey him like this tonight.
Then he shouted: "East Wolf, South Eagle, do you want to disobey?"
Facing Shen Qiye's majesty accumulated over decades, Dong Lang and Nan Ying trembled slightly.
However, they quickly straightened their upper bodies, stared at Shen Qiye and responded loudly:
"Shuai Shen, it's not that we want to disobey orders, but as Miss Shen said, we cannot retreat from Yanmen Pass."
"With this retreat, not only will we become eternal sinners, but it will also open the doors of the Xia Kingdom."
"For the Shen family, the interests of Yanmen Pass are indeed not as huge as those of Tianbei, Tianxi and Mingjiang."
"But for the entire Xia Kingdom, it is absolutely irreplaceable."
"If Yanmen Pass is abandoned, the Shen family's interests will be ten times greater, but the Xia Kingdom's interests will be harmed a hundred times."
"We cannot understand the foresight of Commander Shen and Mrs. Shen, and we cannot interfere with their decisions."
"We just hope to stay and live and die with Yanmenguan and the 20,000 soldiers!"
“We don’t seek any national heroes or martyrs, we only seek to fight to the death with a clear conscience.”
"We can't do anything but surrender Yanmen Pass and sit back and watch hundreds of thousands of our people come under fire."
"Shuai Shen, we can't judge whether you are right or wrong. We don't want to blame you at this moment. We just hope you let us stay."
"Commander Shen, you have decided to sacrifice Shen Chunhua and 20,000 recruits. It doesn't matter if you add dozens of us."
"And since we died on the battlefield, Commander Shen can better explain to his people."
"Shuai Shen, please allow us to stay in Yanmen Pass and live together."
Donglang and Nanying said everything in their hearts and were determined to stay at Yanmen Pass and fight to the death with the enemy.
Since the decisive battle at Shenjiabao, Donglang and the others have already eliminated all their elite men in order to defend Shen Qiye.
Astro Boy has only a dozen of the eight thousand ghost-faced cavalry left in his hands.
Having lost their teeth and claws, they were very miserable these days in Yanmenguan.
Ye A Niu finally got a chance to annihilate the Tiemu coalition, but it was wasted by Shen Qiye and Yin Po.
This depresses Donglang and others who want to fight a quick battle to rise again.
Today, Donglang and Nanying are even more ungrateful and driving Ye Aniu out of consideration for the interests of Xia Kingdom.
Facing the fact that Shen Qiye and Temujin wanted to kill Ye Aniu with a borrowed knife, they felt even more guilty and helpless as they were unable to do anything.
It's just that for all these actions, they can use their last resort and Xia Guozheng to comfort themselves.
Compared with the stability of Xia Kingdom, what is their ingratitude?
This can be regarded as the last fig leaf for East Wolf and Southern Eagle.
But now, facing the pressure of 300,000 foreign troops, Shen Qiye and the others not only refused to fight, but also gave in.
Donglang, Nanying and others cannot accept it.
This not only subverted their loyalty to the Xia Kingdom, but also tore off their fig leaf.
They would rather die than retreat.
Seeing Donglang and Nanying kneeling all over the ground, Xia Qiuye's face instantly turned cold:
"What are you doing?
What to do?"
"Playing the role of a tragic warrior or a national hero?"
"We are just shifting our strategy to avoid its sharp edges and come back another day."
"Besides, Mr. Tiemu has already said that the Ninth Princess and the others just gave an explanation to the people and left at the Yanmen Pass."
"Sooner or later, Yanmen Pass will be returned to our Shen family and returned to the hands of the Xia Kingdom!"
"Don't waste time, execute the order quickly to avoid delaying the evacuation and causing huge losses to Yanmen Pass."
When Xia Qiuye saw Donglang and Nanying like this, their expressions darkened and they scolded them unceremoniously.
In the past, they only had three melons and two dates, so the Shen family had to cherish Yanmen Pass. Now that Tianxixing Province and Mingjiang have taken their place, Yanmen Pass doesn't matter anymore.
The Shen family has guarded such a difficult place for so many years, and now it's time to go to a rich place to enjoy it.
Shen Qiye also shouted: "What are you talking about?
Don’t you understand that if you save the land and lose the people, you will lose both the people and the land?”
Donglang and Nanying exhaled a long breath, and their tone remained strong:
"Anything you do these days will end up in the end."
"Miss Shen also said just now that Mr. Tiemu cannot control the Ninth Princess at all, and all his guarantees are meaningless."
"As long as Mr. Tiemu has some ability, Yanmen Pass will not be invaded by a large army now."
"And if they give up, the Ninth Princess and the others can easily obtain Yanmen Pass at no cost, and they will definitely continue to send troops northward."
"Because they don't cherish things that are too easy to obtain, and they will only try to take advantage of them."
"In order to let the Ninth Princess know that the people of the Xia Kingdom are strong and strong, and also to let the Ninth Princess and the others give up the idea of sending troops to the north."
"We hope to stay and lead the new soldiers in a fierce battle against 300,000 enemy troops."
"Even if they cannot be stopped in the end, after a fierce battle, the Ninth Princess and the others can weigh the pros and cons of going north."
Dong Lang and Nan Ying kowtowed and begged: "Shuai Shen, please allow us to stay and fight to the death."
They couldn't persuade Shen Qiye to stay, and they didn't want to follow his strategic move, so they could only sacrifice themselves to resolve the guilt in their hearts.
Facing the pressure from Dong Lang and others, Shen Qiye slapped the table and shouted:
"Fight to the death, who gave you the courage to fight to the death?"
"Not to mention your dozens of generals and 20,000 recruits, even if all the border troops stay, they won't be able to stop us."
"You are not only resisting my order now, but you are also dividing the entire Shen family."
After he finished speaking, he opened a screen with a snap and played the scene of the drone visiting from ahead.
Outside the Yanmen Pass, I saw overwhelming enemy troops and horses, forming up in an orderly manner from afar.
The flags are like the sea, the chariot reflects the sun, and the murderous aura reaches the sky.
The invincible momentum shown by the foreign army caused Princess Zile and the others' faces to lose some of their color in an instant.
There are probably hundreds of thousands of foreign troops on display, right?
"With so many people, so many battle tanks and battle cannons, it seems that Ninth Princess and the others are really going to eat meat."
"Yes, with such a large amount of manpower and material resources, I'm afraid they won't be able to explain it unless they take Yanmen Pass."
"There are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of troops and thousands of battle tanks behind us, which is enough to push Yanmen shut."
"You can't win, you can't win, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
Looking at the enemies on the screen, Xia Taiji, Nangong Lieyang and other elders waved their hands one by one with very pessimistic and fearful expressions.
Xia Qiuye and the others felt cold in their hearts when they looked at the densely packed enemies.
There are too many enemies and they are too powerful!
And depending on the opponent's formation, they will definitely attack when the time is up!
"Did you see that?
Did you see that?"
"The enemy is so powerful, what can you do to resist it?"
"And the more you block them, the more angry they will be made by the Ninth Princess and the others, and the greater harm will be done to the entire Xia Kingdom."
"Don't give me nonsense, give the order immediately, and all the veterans will be evacuated!"
Shen Qiye kicked Donglang, Nanying and others away, and then strode out of the conference room with Temujin and others.
On the playground in Edinburgh, more than 80 middle- and high-level combat officers and 3,000 border troops have gathered.
They lined up neatly and waited for Shen Qiye's instructions.
"The enemy has already invaded the border with a large force, and Yanmen Pass cannot be defended any longer."
Shen Qiye shouted to this group of backbone border troops: "We need to shift our strategy and withdraw from Yanmen Pass immediately."
The Shen family war officer who had received the news that the enemy was approaching the border was immediately startled.
They all looked at Shen Qiye in surprise.
They thought they heard the wrong word.
They thought they were called to the meeting to prepare for a deadly battle with the enemy, but they did not expect that they were being asked to evacuate quietly.
With this withdrawal, Yanmen Pass will be lost, their family members will be destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people will be in misfortune.
The past grievances between the two sides destined that the enemy would never be able to commit any crime.
Several border army officers wiped the sweat from their faces and shouted to Shen Qiye:
"Shuai Shen! We can't evacuate!"
"We have been fighting with the Xiang people and the Wolf people for more than ten years, with dozens of large and small battles."
"They killed many of our brothers and sisters, and we also killed many of their companions."
"We don't have a feud, but we still want to strangle each other to death."
"If we evacuate, all the guards at Yanmen Pass will be killed, our family members will also suffer, and the lives of our people will be in ruins."
These words expressed the feelings of the backbone of the border army, and they all advised against evacuation.
Compared to Shen family generals such as Dong Lang and Nan Ying, the backbone of the border army who have been stationed at Yanmen Pass all year round have already settled down.
They have wives, children and many relatives.
What will happen to my wife and children once they withdraw?
What about the other family members?
Following the evacuation together would not only require a lot of effort, but also not enough time.
If they didn't evacuate together, they wouldn't be able to leave their blood relatives behind.
Shen Qiye thought of the 300,000 strong enemies outside, of the tens of thousands of people in his own hands, and of the temptations of Tianxi Province and Mingjiang.
He gave up the last trace of hesitation.
He exhaled: "I have decided to evacuate!"
Many backbones of the border army took a step forward and shouted with all their strength:
"Shuai Shen, we cannot evacuate! We would rather fight to the death than evacuate!"
"We have guarded Yanmen Pass for so many years and have never been breached by the enemy. We cannot surrender today."
"As long as we are alive, we will fight to the last soldier."
"Besides, if we evacuate, what will happen to our family?
What should the people of Yanmen Pass do?"
"Haba and the others come in and slap even wild dogs twice. They will definitely attack their families and people."
Their words once again aroused the echo of everyone, and they all looked sad and angry, making Shen Qiye think twice.
