When the King of Shu heard his ministers say that they should leave the people of Shu a way to survive, he hesitated again. However, after thinking carefully, he realized that no matter how stupid the Han Empire was, it would not take action against ordinary people.
What's more, he had already told Liang Jing about this matter in advance and they had reached an agreement. If they fled at this time, what would become of their Shu Kingdom?
He also had to prepare to take his things, leave Shu and go to Da Zhou.
Liang Jing told him that they would fight to the last moment, and if they really couldn't win, they would have no choice but to abandon the city and flee. At that time, they would escape to the grassland. This was just a helpless move, but they had to prepare in advance.
Otherwise, I will really be dead! There will be no hope at all.
Although this sounds a bit timid, it is also a preparation for their future efforts, there is no other way.
…
Lingguan.
With the arrival of the troops of the Han Empire, war was about to break out. Tutu Daji led his army, and the cavalry rushed to the front in a bloody battle. However, it must be admitted that the cavalry of the Han Empire was also very powerful.
Not only the cavalry, but their infantry sword and shield soldiers are also extremely powerful.
In addition, they also have grand masters to support them.
Although they also have grandmasters on their side, they are still far behind in number compared to others. Although in such a grand scene, the presence of grandmasters will not have much impact on the battle situation?
However, it would cause the morale of their army to become low, so they had to send out the grandmaster to fight.
"Soldiers! The imperial court wants to destroy our country and turn it into their own territory. Why should we be afraid of sacrificing our lives for our country?"
"I know you all think that the Han Empire's army is incredibly powerful, and how can our Triple Alliance compare to them? Indeed, we are far behind in numbers, and even in strength."
"But so what? We are fighting for our homeland. Even if we die, we have no regrets. A man should die on the battlefield!"
"We should feel honored to fight for our homes and for the people and families behind us. Although we may fail, we have no regrets!"
"Years later, people will still be talking about it. At least when we faced the powerful Han Empire again, we didn't choose to surrender, but fought them to the end."
"We must be a strong-willed Great Zhou, rather than surrendering. This would make us spineless and lead to others looking down on us and mocking us. Do you want that?"
"No!"
A surging fighting spirit swept over them! At this moment, they all turned their grief and anger into strength, and after this brainwashing, their blood boiled.
But Shangguan Yun knew that they had not yet truly come into contact with the Han Empire's troops...
In this way, they persisted for about five days. At the beginning, they could barely fight against it, but the Han Empire was unable to break through the pass at all.
But as the fight went on, their momentum had almost been destroyed.
There was no other way. The Han Empire's army was too powerful, and they suffered heavy losses. Many soldiers had already begun to think about avoiding the battle.
In fact, we have to admit that after continuous battles, the troops of the Han Empire have become extremely powerful by fighting to support themselves.
Even if Shangguan Yun used super-powerful crossbows and gunpowder packs, the impact on the situation would be minimal.
Another more important reason is that they have a huge difference in the number of troops. Even a bomb can cause a huge setback to the enemy.
But their advantage in numbers can make up for this disadvantage.
As time went on, after a month, Lingguan was finally breached, and half of their original troops had been lost.
Most of them chose to join the Han Empire's army, and nearly half died directly on the battlefield. The rest were old, weak and disabled soldiers.
They had no choice but to flee Lingguan, but the troops from the Han Empire were in hot pursuit!
They must take down the Great Zhou in one fell swoop and defeat the coalition forces among the three countries at this critical moment.
Seeing that they might not be able to escape, Shangguan Yun made a decision.
He explained to Shangguan Yan and Tuotuo Daji behind him, "The enemy is relentless in pursuit. If we don't leave some men behind to hold out and buy you time, you won't be able to escape, and your entire army will be annihilated."
"We must leave behind seeds and hope to ignite our dream of revenge, otherwise everything will be in vain."
"What's more, those of us who remain behind will have to fight to protect His Majesty!"
"I'll stay here and cover your retreat! You guys run!"
Shangguan Yan immediately realized what her father said and shouted, "Dad! No, absolutely not."
"Why do you want to do this?"
"Can't we run together? But if you stay, you'll only die."
"Silly child, I am holding on to time for you. You are my hope. Dad is old now and can't walk anymore.
Dad is tired. He has been fighting all his life. Let's fulfill his wish. It is better to die on the battlefield than to die on the road."
Shangguan Yan felt extremely uncomfortable, with tears in the corners of his eyes. He would not allow this to happen. He shouted excitedly, "No!"
"Dad, if I don't allow you to leave, then I won't allow both of us to live. Can we leave together? If it really doesn't work out, I'll stay and cover your retreat. If you leave, I won't live either!"
Shangguan Yun was so angry when he saw his son's cowardly appearance that he slapped him viciously and said angrily, "You unfilial son, don't you listen to your father's words?"
"What are you calling this! Are you worthy of your brother-in-law and your sister?"
"Dad wants you to live. Dad wants you to avenge me, not to lose your temper here."
"Let's go, hurry up, Dad will cover your retreat. You have to understand that a young eagle can't always fly under the protection of an eagle."
"The thing Dad is most worried about is you. You're already this old, but you still act like a dandy. You haven't learned any skills from following your brother-in-law. You're just timid and cowardly."
"Without Dad by your side, you can't be as willful as before. You have to be able to stand on your own two feet and not rely on others or Dad to handle everything."
"Let's go! Let's go!"
Shangguan Yun scolded angrily. Teacher Tuotuo Daji had no regrets and wanted to leave anyway. He grabbed Shangguan Yan's arm and took him away forcibly.
"Don't worry, your sacrifice will not be in vain. We will definitely survive."
"Well, thank you very much. I will buy you some time and delay it for a while."
