Countless people wept as they watched the army slowly retreat. They did not understand why the war, which was about to be won, had to stop. Countless comrades had been buried in foreign lands in exchange for a retreat that they could not bear to look back on. They did not know that the Jade Gate Pass, which had protected them countless times, was the biggest obstacle to their return. The tall and sturdy Jade Gate Pass had been breached just like that. The soldiers mourned the loss of fresh lives. If they saw that it was no longer their compatriots at the Jade Gate Pass, but the evil demons, Wu Shuang could not imagine it.
It was unknown who was the first to sing the long-lasting frontier song. Countless people followed suit, crying as they sang. They stepped on the thorny road back to Nine Regions.
" Sunset in the mountains, the spring grass is fragrant
A lonely wild goose flies across the sky, and the mist locks the vast sky.
With the ancient times, the hero is more generous
I have no intention to follow the scenery, the butterfly of light leads me to dreamland
Dreaming of the mountain shade, thinking of the clear river in the distance
With their hair tied up in military uniforms, they send soldiers to the battlefield
The world only says that beauty is unparalleled
How can I know that I'm hurt alone in the cold night
So what if I'm obsessed with empty hatred?
A jug of turbid wine breaks my heart
Drunken, stepping on the moon, waving a long sword
A sword dance moves the air in all directions
Drunken, stepping on the moon, waving a long sword
A sword dance moves the air in all directions
Men are born strong
The lofty sentiments are hidden in the chest
The wind blows, the clouds fly
The Nine Heavens and Earth are free to fly
With the ancient times, the hero is more generous
I have no intention to follow the scenery, the butterfly of light leads me to dreamland
Dreaming of the mountain shade, thinking of the clear river in the distance
Send troops to the battlefield
So what if I'm obsessed with empty hatred?
A jug of turbid wine breaks my heart
Drunken, stepping on the moon, waving a long sword
A sword dance moves the air in all directions
Men are born strong
The lofty sentiments are hidden in the chest
The wind blows, the clouds fly
The Nine Heavens and Earth are free to fly
Dreaming of snow, moon, wind and flowers
Leaving only the words of history."
The desolate song mixed with the soldiers 'journey back home, walking towards the bloody road back home.
Wushuang sang along, and as she sang, she could not help but cry. At this moment, a white-robed man passed by. Wushuang looked at the handsome young man in front of her and cupped her hands. Second brother, help me give my big brother Batian and third brother Xiao Feng a good look. I'll leave the baby in your hands too." As he spoke, he handed the snow white baby to Sima De Le and sighed,""You still don't want to leave? Hehe, luckily I knocked you unconscious.
After saying that, he turned around and left. Suddenly, a hand was placed on Wushuang's shoulder. Sima De Le said, Fourth brother, don't you have anything to tell Shixue?"
Wushuang said without turning her head,"If I want to grow up and serve my country, why do I need to cross the Jade Gate Pass?"
The youngest commander of the empire, Sima De Le, was reminiscing about the past. He couldn't help but repeat the phrase four or five times,"Why should we enter Jade Gate Pass?" He couldn't help but loudly say," Good, good, you're my brother indeed. Haha, I'll come back to pay my respects to you every year today." As he spoke, tears streamed down his face.
"Brother, I'll be leaving first." Wushuang shouted loudly.”
Sima De Le looked at Wushuang's back and could not help but be stunned.
Just as the army was about to retreat, the demon army caught up. The 1st division led by Wu Shuang relied on a river to cover the retreat of the army.
Just after noon, the battle immediately began. The two square-shaped demon soldiers had already ignored the human archers on the other side of the river. They carried huge pieces of wood and rushed up, trying to build a pontoon bridge on the river.
The demon soldiers were all half-naked. In order to be agile, they even gave up on their armor. Instead, they only raised a wide wooden board to block the arrows when they ran.
On the south bank of the river, human archers lined up and fired in unison, trying to stop the other side from building a pontoon bridge on the opposite bank. The arrows flew like locusts in the sky. On the north bank, the ground was covered with arrows. The demon soldiers who were running on wooden boards worked under the dense rain of arrows. From time to time, some demon soldiers were hit by arrows and let out a few miserable howls. One by one, furry feet trampled on the river bank, and the black soil on the ground was gradually dyed red by blood.
Two hours later, the demon soldiers paid the price of hundreds of casualties and finally built a simple pier about ten meters wide on the opposite shore.
At this moment, the archers on the other side had already begun to retreat. The commander of the human army was Zhao Wushuang, the general of the 1st division of the Empire's Central Army.
At this moment, this young and powerful general was personally leading two divisions of troops to the south bank to command the sniping. The supply engineers were nervously moving the large armaments out of the city. The catapults were pushed to the shore one by one and started bombarding the other side of the river.
Wu Shuang could not help but sigh. Although the geographical advantage here could stop the other party for a moment, failure was inevitable. It was only a matter of time. A river could not stop a million troops. A million troops could even flatten a mountain.
With the help of advanced machinery and favorable terrain, the corpses of the demon engineers on the north shore had almost covered the entire shoal in less than an hour.
The battle was on the rise. The humans had the upper hand.
The pier built by the demon soldiers on the north bank had been destroyed by catapults twice. However, these demon soldiers seemed to be determined to cross the river here. He didn't care about the casualties. Once again, a large number of suicide squads were sent to rebuild the shallows. Corpses, broken arrows, and wood scattered on the ground were everywhere. Soon after, the warships of the empire also arrived on the river. Eight of the empire's Sea Soul class warships were lined up on the river, closely connected, and shot at the Demon soldiers on the north bank with the ballistas on the ships.
With the addition of the warships, the losses of the demon soldiers had greatly increased. In less than an hour, the corpses of the demon soldiers on the north shore had almost covered the entire shoal. The sailors on the ship also picked up their bows and fired at the north bank.

He didn't care about the casualties. Once again, a large number of suicide squads were sent to rebuild the shallows. Corpses, broken arrows, and wood scattered on the ground were everywhere.
Seeing the human warships seal the river, General Zhao Wushuang's heart was filled with doubts…Looking at the situation, it was impossible for the enemy to cross the river here…Could it be that they were deliberately coming to die?
They could easily go around and chase after the main force of the empire. Why did they have to attack here? The 1st division of the empire that was guarding the river would not be easily taken down. It seemed that they had to wipe out the 1st division before chasing after the main force of the empire. It seemed that the Jade Gate Pass would fall. They could only hope that they could delay the demon army for a while.
The river that the 1st Central Division relied on was the Cang River. It flowed from the North Sea and passed through the empire's hinterland. The empire's military had specially sent a few warships to support the empire's Northern Frontier Army Corps.
On the warship, the sailors fired ballistae wildly. Seeing the demon soldiers on the opposite shore falling down, the huge ballistae shot over with a powerful penetrating force. They could often shoot three to five demon soldiers at the same time. Just like a stick of candied haws.
The marines roared excitedly as they watched the enemies on the other side fall one by one under the attack of the Empire's invincible warships. The bows and arrows in their hands were also shooting with all their might. Many soldiers even used too much strength in their excitement, and even their thumbs that were pulling the bows were cut until they were bleeding.
The demon soldiers did not give up at all. The pier was firmly nailed to the north bank under the almost suicidal charge of thousands of demon soldiers. Countless wooden materials were reinforced to withstand the crazy bombardment of humans.
。
The battle continued until the afternoon. It seemed that the demon soldiers did not gain any advantage at all. The human soldiers fell into an extremely fanatical and happy atmosphere. In most people's eyes, these demon soldiers were probably brainless and came here to die.
