Chapter 494

Shen Zhang looked at the damage figures of each battalion on the paper several times. Although there was no detailed name of the dead soldiers on the paper, he folded the paper carefully and put it into the crevice of the armor.

Then Shen Zhang said, "brother Gu, at this time zhennanguan has the highest military position. It's not easy for us to face the attack of animal tide and withdraw 400000 troops from zhennanguan in such a short time. Next, we need to divide our work and cooperate."

"Well, what do you want me to do?" Gu Huaiyi nodded and said.

Shen Zhang estimated a little in his heart and said, "Zhennan pass is built in the narrowest part of Lingshan gorge. The more northward the terrain is, the more open the terrain is. Therefore, it is relatively easy to evacuate troops northward. It will take about a day before the arrival of Lu Shuai's troops. I will leave 50000 troops to guard the city, and then leave four 5000 men battalions as reserve forces. In addition, the planned 50000 troops will be used to ride again, A total of 120000 troops are left behind, and the rest will be led by you to withdraw from zhennanguan. "

Gu Huaiyi frowned slightly and said, "running thunder heavy cavalry can't take part in guarding the city. The attack of animal tide is more and more crazy, leaving only 70000 troops to guard the pass. Is it a little less? Do you want to leave a few more battalions, or I will stay with the left and right Zhuo guards, and you will lead the main force of running thunder army to withdraw from zhennanguan first?"

"No way." Shen Zhang shook his head. "The establishment of the thunder army is to guard against the tide of animals. The emphasis of daily training is also related to this. At this point, Zhuo Wei can't replace the thunder army. It's settled."

"All right." Gu Huaiyi nodded his head when he heard the words. He knew that Shen Zhang was telling the truth, and he didn't mean to look down on Zhuo Wei. From the battle of guarding the city during this period, we can see that the thunder army is much better than Zhuo Wei in terms of the killing of the herd and the loss of itself. It's better to keep the elite battle camp in the thunder army than the Zhuo guard.

"Time is running out. Brother Gu is now integrating his troops and withdrawing." Shen Zhang took out a piece of red gold token from his arms and handed it to Gu Huaiyi. He said, "time is pressing, so we don't need to discuss again. Brother Gu can mobilize all the battalions of the benlei army with this token. Please withdraw."

Gu Huaiyi looked at the token, which together with the seal of the commander of the benlei army symbolized the military power of the 300000 troops of the benlei army. He was slightly stunned. Then he took it with both hands, nodded heavily and said, "brother Shen, don't worry, I will withdraw more than 200000 troops from Zhennan pass in one day, and set up fortifications at the mouth of the Linggu Valley to form horns with Zuo qingluan Wei stationed at the North River port of the pass."

"Brother Gu, please go first." Shen Zhang nodded and said.

"Brother Shen, how do you and the brothers who stay to guard the pass get out?" Gu Huaiyi did not immediately leave, but some worried asked.

"Brother Gu, don't worry. I've been ready for this since I made clear the layout of Lu Shuai." Shen Zhang looked over the gates on the north and south sides. On the wall there were four chains as thick as legs, which were fixed on the huge winch. Those chains controlled the gates on the north and south sides, which were more than ten thousand strong. However, in the more than 200 years since the establishment of zhennanguan, the gate has never been used except for routine maintenance. Shen Zhang never thought that the first time it was used was in his own hands.
