Chapter 169: Fighting for Whom?
"General Liu Jin? Why did you come here in person? ”
Liu Lin joined the team in front of him, and when he saw the leader of the opposite team clearly, a smile of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
Liu Jin, the short and slightly chubby city lord of Eight Finger City, also showed a surprised but complicated smile when he saw everyone in the Huwei Army: "You guys...... Are you all alright? ”
He didn't mention the fact that these people had abandoned the city and fled, although it sounded unpleasant, but it was also a helpless move.
Although Liu Jin is short in stature, he is a smart person, knowing that the other party has done his best, and being able to escape and save his vitality at this moment is already the best result, so it is naturally impossible to blame the other party.
"It's okay, there are still 3,000 people left in our Huwei army, and there are about 10,000 people left in the Fanyang City army, and the city lord Liu Bi and several other generals have all escaped!" Liu Lin replied respectfully.
Liu Jin nodded, and did not have a deep chat with Liu Lin, but asked everyone to retreat to Eight Finger City first.
When Liu Bi at the end of the team arrived, Liu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully to Liu Bi:
"Big brother, the younger brother has been in an ambush on the way and has been fighting with the enemy for a long time, so the rescue is late, I hope you will forgive me!"
Liu Bi waved his hand, looked at his own brother and said, "We guessed that this would be the reason, it's not your fault, after all, the enemy army is heavy." Everywhere there may be enemy soldiers and horses. ”
"Okay, now that the enemy is coming, let's retreat to Eight Finger City first!"
Hearing this, Liu Jin nodded approvingly, and then sent the soldiers who escaped from Fanyang City to Bazhi City.
At this moment, Tang Ye found his various subordinates in the team, although Liang Bai and Mu Yun had some minor injuries, but they were not serious, while Zhuge Gu was well protected, the expression on his face was light, and even with a faint smile, he was obviously happy that Tang Ye was able to move them to retreat.
After all, the city is not their city, and the soldiers are not their soldiers, Tang Ye's power has not yet been established, and now he is not distressed by using other people's soldiers and losing other people's cities.
But if it was Tang Ye's resources that were being consumed now, then he wouldn't be happy.
But having said that, abandoning the city is indeed the best option.
There is another reason why Zhuge Gu is happy, that is, Liu Pei's group of subordinates are not pedantic and do not defend the city. Otherwise, I was afraid that Tang Ye's group of subordinates, including him, would either become prisoners or be forced to die in battle.
A group of people who had escaped from Fanyang were surrounded by reinforcements from Eight Finger City, and after advancing in the direction of Eight Finger City for another hour, Liu Bi asked everyone to stop and rest for a while.
If you don't rest and rest, I'm afraid that everyone will be tired and fall asleep when they sit on the horse.
All the people who came out of Fanyang got off their horses and sat on the ground, and those who were physically exhausted even lay on the ground in a "big" shape.
Tang Ye took the water bag handed over by Liang Bai, took a sip and handed it back.
He still had some strength left, and although he was sweating a lot, he didn't feel much thirsty.
On this day's battle, Tang Ye had fully adapted to the brutality of the battlefield.
"Half of the city is smoky and sandy, and the soldiers are under the pool. Jin Ge Iron Horse, who is fighting for the world? ”
Tang Ye put his right hand on his knee, looked at the gradually gloomy sky, and unconsciously came up with the lyrics in Brother Song's repertoire in his mind.
When he listened to this song back then, although Tang Ye felt pleasant, he couldn't deeply understand the meaning. But now he suddenly felt that the lyrics made him very emotional.
