February 7th.
The fighting outside Canglin Valley was in a stalemate for four consecutive days.
Finally, under the fierce attack of the demons, the imperial position could no longer hold on.
The four major corps in front suffered heavy losses.
Tens of thousands of wounded soldiers poured into the wounded barracks every day, but the elixir The number of military doctors Si was able to send was very limited, and many soldiers had already died from their injuries.
Late at night, Chu Yao wore the long white dress of the chief deacon of the Department of Spiritual Medicine, with sweat on her face, and bandaged the broken leg of a wounded soldier.
This was the first wounded soldier she had treated today.
A deacon of the Department of Spiritual Medicine, about forty years old, said respectfully: "Deacon Chu Yao, Commander Yu of the Gentian Army has sent someone to pick you up and leave the wounded barracks."
"Ah, why?"
Chu Yao looked surprised.
The deacon said: "The frontline position is probably undefendable.
Once the demons break through the Iron Blade Army's position, they will march straight into the plains outside Canglin Valley.
By then, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
"But" Chu Yao bit her red lips, looked at the countless wounded soldiers lying on the ground in the wounded barracks, crying in pain, and said rather unbearably: "What should I do with these wounded soldiers?"
A person opened the white curtain and walked in.
It was Bai Yin, Lin Muyu's personal guard.
He clasped his fists and said: "Deacon Chu Yao, these wounded soldiers will be evacuated soon.
You are the deacon of the Spiritual Medicine Department and the commander-in-chief.
Sister, please take everyone from the headquarters of the Panacea Department with me first.
There will be more wounded soldiers waiting for your treatment.
Please don’t make things difficult for your subordinates.
Let’s go.”
Chu Yao did not insist anymore, took off the bloody gloves on her hands, and said: "Well, call everyone at the headquarters of the Spiritual Medicine Department immediately to retreat with the Gentian Battalion."
"yes" Not long after, under the starry sky, a group of members of the Spiritual Medicine Department wearing white robes boarded the carriage one after another, while Bai Yin commanded hundreds of Gendan Battalion cavalry to guard the side, and shouted: "Let's go!"
The convoy quickly left the wounded barracks, and the moonlight leaked all the way to the edge of the canyon.
There, the sound of killings was heard on the land nearly ten miles outside the huge canyon.
The demon armored demon army was attacking the human position like crazy.
Many armored demons Even with his arms and legs broken, he was still charging and killing with anger on his face, like a wild beast.
The armored demon's offensive frightened most of the empire's soldiers.
Many people were brutally killed without being able to resist.
Blood flowed all over the ground.
Soon, the armored demon army flooded over like a tide.
What's more terrible is that, The screams of the winged men were heard constantly in the air.
Taking advantage of the darkness, these winged men shot down countless arrows, while the imperial army could only be beaten in vain but had no way to fight back.
On the front army position, Luo Xin was holding a spear and stabbing back and forth among the armored demons.
The purple dragon martial spirit was shining brightly into the sky and was extremely powerful.
However, the number of people around him became less and less as they fought.
In the blink of an eye, there were not many left.
"Major General Luo Xin" On a hill, many soldiers were waving imperial battle flags.
Under the flag, Pingnan Hou Xiang Yu sat astride a tall horse and shouted loudly: "Major General Luo Xin, we can't fight anymore if we retreat, otherwise tens of thousands of us will die." here" "What" Luo Xinhu's eyes widened: "No, once our central army retreats, the Shenwei Battalion and Su Long's headquarters of the left and right armies will be killed.
The demons will form an encirclement after breaking through the central army, blocking them on both sides of the valley and attacking them one by one.
If they are killed, they will be unable to fly.”
Xiang Yu immediately held up a token and said: "Major General Luo Xin, this is the token given by Her Royal Highness the Empress to the commander of the former army.
Please obey the order and lead the Iron Blade Army to retreat immediately."
"you" Luo Xin looked behind him.

There were at least 20,000 people in the Iron Blade Army.
Although the bloody battle was extremely fierce, if they blocked it for an hour or two and allowed the Shenwei Battalion and Su Long Army on both wings to retreat first, they might still be able to save the life.
Su Long's army and Shenwei Battalion were obtained, but when General Xiang Yu issued his order, Luo Xin was helpless.
Under Su Muyun's constant teachings, Luo Xin naturally knew the duty of a soldier.
With a face full of reluctance, Luo Xin swung his spear and shouted: "Iron Blade Army, follow Xiang Yu's army to retreat with the third battalion.
Leave the first battalion behind and follow me to cover the retreat of the right army's Shenwei Battalion."
The Second Battalion will go with the deputy commander Su Wan to cover the retreat of Su Long's army on the left.
Go quickly, don't hesitate."
"yes" For a moment, the main force of the Iron Blade Army retreated.
Three battalions of about 6,000 troops were divided into three groups, one group rearing and two groups covering, and went straight to the other two battlefields.
However, the screams of the Winged Army in the air were very sharp, and a Arrows fell in the air, constantly killing the cavalry galloping on the ground.
Luo Xin looked up, his eyes full of blood: "You bastard!"
Xiang Yu clenched his iron fist tightly and shouted angrily: "This bastard Luo Xin can act so arbitrarily.
Everyone who comes here should retreat and give up the battlefield to the demons.
Send a message to the Chinese army and tell His Highness that the front army has been defeated." , we can’t stop it”
"yes" "What a rout" In the Chinese army tent, Qin Yin stood up and looked at the ordering soldiers with a shocked face.
On the side, Su Muyun and Zeng Yifan stood up at the same time and said, "Oh no!"
Zeng Yifan looked at the messenger and asked sternly: "Xiang Yu gave the order to retreat."
"Yes, Lord Shen."
"This guy," Zeng Yifan said with a fierce light in his eyes, "The Chinese army's retreat without warning means that the troops covered by the two wings will be surrounded and annihilated by the demons.
How could Xiang Yu commit such a crime after he has been using troops for a long time?
Wrong, he is trapping our Shenwei Camp into a point of no return.
Come, take my guards and go to reinforce the Shenwei Camp.
We will take as many as we can come back."
Su Muyun hurriedly grabbed Zeng Yifan's wrist and said: "Shenhou" Zeng Yifan glanced back at him and said: "Yungong Shenwei Camp is the blood of my life, Zeng Yifan.
How could I let them die in vain in this Canglin Valley?"
Su Muyun's turbid eyes showed helplessness as he said: "Shenhou, the number of veterans in the empire is getting fewer and fewer every day.
Du Hai, Lei Hong and others have left us.
If Shenhou leaves, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
It's hard to come back.
Marquis Wanwang takes care of his body and will do his best to assist His Highness in unifying this country.
Let me go."
Zeng Yifan was stunned.
At this time, the messenger said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Yunzhong, Lord, and Major General Luo Xin have led the main battalion of the Iron Blade Army to cover the retreat of Shenwei Camp and Su Long's army."
"Xin'er" Su Muyun's arms trembled slightly and said: "Come here, lead my bodyguards to advance five miles to support the young general."
"yes" At this time, Lin Muyu stood up, looked at the messenger with a pair of clear eyes, and said: "Stop."
"Commander Yu, what's going on?"
The ordering soldier was beating in his heart.
Lin Muyu asked: "Tell me honestly, is the front position really at a point where it cannot be sustained at all?"
"this" The messenger was apprehensive and said: "Commander Qi Zunyu, the demon clan's offensive today is very fierce.
At least nearly 200,000 armored demons were used to attack our position.
The brothers in the front position have almost finished shooting their arrows.
Even light could not withstand the demonic attack, so Commander Xiang Yu ordered the entire army to retreat."
"Answer me directly, can you still support it?"
"I can, but I definitely won't survive tomorrow."

"Oh shit" Lin Muyu whispered: "What is Xiang Yu doing?
He is leaving the Shenwei Camp and Su Long Army alive to the demons.
One night is enough for the left army and the right army to retreat.
Why don't the front army resist?"
The messenger was trembling all over and dared not answer.
Zeng Yifan frowned and said, "It's useless to say anything for the current plan.
Let's think about what to do next."
Lin Muyu said: "Since Xiang Yu ordered the withdrawal, they will definitely be defeated thousands of miles away.
With the personalities of Qianfeng and Lei Chong, it is impossible not to chase us.
Their wish is to fight with us on the plains.
The first battle of the imperial army has been considered a defeat
.
" "
Su Muyun raised his eyebrows and said, "What's next?"
Almost everyone's eyes were on Lin Muyu.
Everyone knew that the four armies of the Iron Blade Army, Shenwei Battalion, Xiang Yu Army, and Su Long Army had all fought against the demons and lost.
The only hope was to preserve their strength.
The Gentian Camp was complete.
If the Gentian Camp was unable to turn the tide, the 500,000-strong Imperial Army might really be eaten up by the demons in Canglin Valley.
"My lords, please direct all ministries to retreat in an orderly manner."
Lin Muyu's voice was a little weak, and she said: "I will arrange for the main force of the 50,000 Gentian Battalion to set up a formation to intercept the demon pursuers on the only way to retreat.
Don't worry."
"Okay, thank you Commander Yu."
Everyone nodded.
Qin Yin said nothing, but her beautiful eyes looked to the southeast, which was the direction of Jiange.
The imperial army was defeated miserably.
If Qin Yi of Jiange did not send troops, I am afraid that the future of the entire continent would be out of control.
On the north side of Canglin Valley, Su Long's army was retreating steadily in the face of more and more demons.
They could not distinguish each other in the dark night.
They could only hear the roar of the demons, which was like an ocean covering them up.
Su Long was riding his beloved war horse, carrying a long knife, and shouted with a livid face: "Military report, where is the military report?"
A centurion said loudly: "Commander, Xiang Yu ordered the entire army to retreat."
"What" Su Long felt a chill in his heart and said: "This military order has not been transmitted to me at all.
Does Xiang Yu, a thief, want to trap our Su Long army into eternal disaster?
Come on, send the order immediately, and everyone will follow me to charge back and retreat."
"It's too late, Commander, look over there."
Su Long looked back.
Under the moonlight, countless armored demons came out of the valley in the distance.
They had formed an encirclement.
For a moment, Su Long's heart seemed to fall into a glacier, and he murmured: "It's over, it's over. " "Commander, what should we do now?
Hurry up and give the order."
A captain whose arm was cut off said with blood and tears in his face.
Su Long gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, follow me and retreat to the north.
Hold the horses' necks and swim across the Daojiang River.
We can count as many as we can.

It's better than being killed here."
"yes" A group of infantrymen put down their shields and armors, and rushed down the Daojiang River with daggers in hand.
They waved their arms and splashed the water and rushed to the other side of the river.
They all knew that the armored demon could not swim, and as long as they swam to the other side, they could save their lives. .
However, there were sudden screams in the water, and "Jie Jie" voices came out one after another.
The river turned blood red in an instant, and all the thousands of soldiers who entered the river first were killed.
They were the horseshoe crab legion of the demon clan.
"Damn it" Su Long was so angry that he trembled all over and roared: "Brothers, the time has come to be loyal to the country, kill me!"
"kill" A group of captains of thousands and captains of ten thousand led the remnants of the army to regroup, brandishing their swords and rushing towards the tide of armored demons.
But when they looked back, they found that Su Long's sword had grazed his neck, and his whole body lost the breath of life.
Falling from the war horse.
In the early morning of February 8, 7736 in the imperial calendar, Su Long, the deputy governor of Yunzhong Province and commander of the army, was defeated and committed suicide:
