Chapter 59: A Thousand Miles of Collapse

For many days, Xu Yan had thought that the four major legions might be defeated, but he never thought that he would be pushed to Ningcheng by that group of barbarians.

As the last line of defense of Great Qin in this northwest frontier, the importance of Ningcheng is self-evident, and even the commanders such as Meng Zhao would rather die than see this scene happen, but it is indeed the voice of the Zhao who roars outside, it can be imagined how serious the matter has become.

Xu Yan, who was extremely anxious, gave an order, and the whole person went to the city gate as quickly as possible.

Ningcheng, as the defensive town of Great Qin, the thickness of the city wall can be said to have reached the extreme, the thickness of the wall alone is enough to be dozens of zhang so terrifying, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary knot masters to break through the city with brute force.

On the towering city wall, as soon as Xu Yan came up, he found the tragic situation on the periphery.

Whether it is a human race or a barbarian, it has reached the point of bloody struggle at this moment, and the team at the forefront is the main army of the Mengzi battalion.

One of the deputy commanders led the team, and there were only three thousand left, and Xu Yan was quite frightened to see it.

The entire Mengzi battalion, not counting the thousand-man team on the city wall, has at least 10,000 people, and this 10,000 people have been sharply reduced to only 3,000 old and weak remnants in half a year, this kind of terrifying consumption will be shocked even if it is spread even within Great Qin, right?

Xu Yan thought that this battle might be fierce, but he never thought that it would be so intense.

The entire battlefield adds up to more than 4,000 soldiers of the Mongolian battalion, and I can't believe that more than half of the soldiers of the Mongolian battalion died in this war.

Half a year, has the battle situation reached such a point in just half a year? Xu Yan has always thought in a bad direction, but he never thought that things would be so serious.

"Open the city gates, let the first three thousand soldiers in, and then close them directly to me, and no one is allowed to open the city gates without the orders of me and the commander. Xu Yan gave an order, and now he has fully devoted himself to the role.

He knew very well what it would mean for Ningcheng to open the city privately, and he also knew very well what it would mean for the scattered soldiers outside after giving this order, but he couldn't do anything about it.

War is a game of trade-offs, and now if even those stragglers are unwilling to give up, it will only cause Ningcheng to fall, and the casualties will be even heavier.

And he, after giving this order, has actually said that he has given up those soldiers, and giving such an order, the courage required is not a little bit, but there is no way.

The city gate finally opened, and Xu Yan, who was still very entangled, was relieved to see his former colleagues enter the city.

In any case, this incident was still very shocking to him, seven months, only seven months, not only the loss of the Mengzi Battalion, but also the entire Wanfa Camp could be said to be very terrifying.

If it weren't for those people on the front line who fought desperately and hard, it would have been impossible to hold out until now.

Every attack of the barbarians can be said to be very terrifying, so that even Xu Yan was shocked when he heard the news, such a war, even if he was a real general, he had experienced absolutely not much.

What about himself? Several requests have not been answered, and even when he is called, he has no intention of letting himself go.

Of course, there is the idea of protecting him, but the more important thing is that he is called to have a trusted person to preserve his strength, so that even if it fails, the Mengzi battalion will not be completely wiped out.

In the same way, Xu Yan has done a good job in this point, during this time in Ningcheng, with the help of Fang Qiaomu, it is almost equivalent to the unification of this complex faction in Ningcheng, although it cannot be regarded as a real Yiyantang, but all the time, Xu Yan's authority in this is still very large.

"What about Commander Meng, why didn't you see him?" personally watched many soldiers walk into the city with tired expressions, but Xu Yan did not find the figure of Meng Zhao.

The roar before, but it was summoned to send out, otherwise, Xu Yan would not be so anxious, but none of the people who entered the opening now were the great commanders.

This is really what Xu Yan couldn't believe it for, what the hell is going on? Shouldn't the commander of a military camp be at the forefront? How could it be that he hasn't entered the city until now.

You must know that Xu Yan's attention to Meng Zhao is unprecedented, especially after the last incident, he is even more determined that such a person must not die, if it falls, the entire Great Qin will lose a full warrior.

But now, the call of the general, who has not yet become a general, has not returned, which makes Xu Yan, who was already a little anxious, even more panicked.

"Liang Qianhu! Why haven't you seen the Great Commander yet?" Standing on the city gate, seeing those thousands of households finally coming forward one by one, Xu Yan immediately said anxiously.

You must know that anyone can play without this Mongolian word camp, but without this great commander being called, the Mongolian word camp will not be worthy of its name.

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find, this truth Xu Yan knows much better than anyone else, is it possible that the strength of the Zhao can still be sacrificed in this battle? But I really heard his voice before.

"After the commander broke off in the back, he has fallen into a siege, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back. The commander said very sadly.

This matter, even if all the members of the Mengzi battalion don't want to see it, but it really happened, on that kind of fierce battlefield, when they were called to give an order, everyone didn't have time to think about it, knowing that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, but who dared to question the commander at that time?

Now, three thousand soldiers have fled back, and Xu Yan's style is also very smooth, and he directly closed the city gate, so that the possibility of the other party wanting to successfully attack here is not very great.

It's just that this also eliminates the possibility of being called to continue to enter the city, thinking of this, this commander can't blame Xu Yan, but there is still a burst of unhappiness in his heart.

"What? show me where he is. Xu Yan's head twitched, and he didn't know what he was thinking anymore.

In any case, he couldn't do such a thing, so even though he knew that it would be very dangerous, he still made up his mind at this moment.

In any case, he was called not to die, and he risked his life to save him.
