Wuguan was breached!
General Wei Wuji had no choice but to retreat. Fortunately, in addition to Wuguan, there were other cities that could serve as passways. However, he knew very well that they could not last long.
The enemy was so powerful, and no one knew how they did it. The Flying Tigers were getting smaller and smaller as the fight went on, and they no longer had the same bravery as before.
Their morale has become low now because they have not won a battle for a long time. If they can win a battle, they can restore their decadent appearance and become ferocious fighting machines again.
But now there is no such opportunity for their Flying Tiger Army. Wei Wuji is desperate. Why are they so powerful!
After this pass was breached, Lu Yun's army fought more and more fiercely and their momentum became stronger and stronger. They were not afraid at all now!
It has to be said that under his leadership, he completely transformed the Qin army under his command into an ace force!
In fact, it is natural that the Flying Tigers cannot defeat them. Although each of the Flying Tigers is very powerful, in fact, these Flying Tigers were not strong enough in the first place and they have lost all their fighting spirit!
Some generals even just serve in the army or come to gild their reputations. There is no way around it because their aristocratic families control these channels, so they can take advantage of opportunities in the military.
Everyone wants to gain military power and everyone wants to get the position of general, so these aristocratic families will try their best to make these generals their subordinates.
Each of these generals is a fool, and the soldiers of the Han Empire today are actually a bunch of young masters.
The reason is very simple. They haven't experienced a real bloody battle for a long time!
There was no training on the battlefield, but the Flying Tigers were indeed an ace army, and people were terrified when they heard of them.
The former Flying Tigers hadn't even participated in a few battles to annihilate the vassal states. How could they have fought to support themselves? How could they have been filled with fighting spirit and blood?
Chang'an City.
In the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
At this time, the entire hall was bustling with people, and many civil and military officials had gathered together. They came to attend the morning court today. The most important thing was that they all knew about the situation on the front line, and wondered what the emperor felt.
Needless to say, they were all quite anxious...
Soon, the emperor wearing a dragon robe came into the hall.
He also looked very sad, sitting in the wheelchair, which looked very uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty!"
The emperor shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and explained, "Alright, alright, stop doing this here. I want to ask you what to do now? Wuguan has been breached by the enemy!"
"The general has done his best. How could the strength of our Flying Tiger Army decline so quickly? Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
"I'm afraid we can't hold out for much longer now. I really don't know what to do. If they really reach Chang'an City, it will be very dangerous."
Faced with this situation, his subordinates hesitated for a while, and finally a minister stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, although the enemy does seem very brave and the Qin army seems to be very strong, we still have a chance."
"Your Majesty only needs to go to the battle in person and boost the morale of the soldiers under your command. By then, even the entire nation can be mobilized. Then, what do we have to fear? The Qin army will be crushed by the iron cavalry of our Han Dynasty!"
Upon hearing this, the emperor was stunned. He found this unbelievable!
What a joke! Letting the emperor go to the battlefield in person, what use will these useless people have?
At this moment, Prime Minister Lin Wen also stood up and explained, "Your Majesty, this move is extremely inappropriate!"
"For our Han Empire, this is a critical moment of life and death. As Your Majesty has analyzed, the Qin army is indeed very powerful."
"I'm afraid we really can't hold out for much longer. Even if the Flying Tiger Army and the General are very powerful, I'm afraid we will all be in great danger. So we still have a little time."
"That is to lead the civil and military ministers and the Flying Tiger Army out of Chang'an City. We will retreat to the south. Then, with the support of the rivers, we can stop them."
"When the time comes, we will slowly accumulate strength and we will be able to retake the Han Empire. Let them be arrogant for a while first."
The emperor found these words very reasonable. After thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem like a big deal!
Because he was the emperor of the Han Empire, the territory in the south was also his own land, so why couldn't he stay there? Even if this city was lost, even if Chang'an, the city that had nurtured their Han Empire for a long time, was captured, it would not be a big deal.
By then, everything will be taken back, and we won’t be killed by the enemy now!
It’s easy to say there’s hope, because their ultimate goal is only one, and that is to stay alive!
Just being alive is better than anything else!
However, it is still quite difficult to achieve this.
"His Majesty!"
"We must not lose Chang'an. That would be equivalent to losing the people's hearts. We would still be overwhelmed by the Qin army. Your Majesty, never forget that Chang'an was once the capital of the Qin!"
"We can't just give up like this. Even if the Qing soldiers are powerful, our Flying Tigers are no less powerful. We just lack morale!"
"Our Flying Tiger Army has suffered so many defeats that we have no fighting spirit. But as soon as Your Majesty appears, everything will come to an end."
The emperor was unwilling to believe these words. In his eyes, nothing was more important than staying alive. As the emperor, what was more important was to slowly accumulate his own strength.
"How outrageous!"
"I can't let you tell me what I want to do! Someone, drag him away!"
"If anyone dares to deny my words again, I will kill you all!"
Unexpectedly, a large number of people knelt down at once, begging the emperor not to abandon Chang'an City and not to go to the south, as this would only make their deaths more miserable. There is still a chance and there is no way out.
But the emperor would never listen to these words!
He was so angry that he was shaking. He stood up and shouted to his ministers, "I raised you guys not to resist me, but to serve me and obey my orders!"
"Okay, okay! All of you insist on going against me!"
