The battle just now didn't last very long, but the hand-to-hand combat was always extremely tragic, and life was extremely weak at this time.

Mu Ming looked at the devastated camp and said, "The number of enemy troops participating in the battle just now is only a mere 30,000, considering the loss of their passage through the jungle, it is reasonable for 30,000 people to participate in the battle." ”

Sun Yu hurriedly asked, "What is that gentleman worried about? Although it was a sneak attack, they didn't take advantage of it just now." ”

Mu Ming retracted his gaze and glanced at the bloodied general: "They have joined forces!"

Sun Yu was stunned for a moment, and then realized the meaning of Mu Ming's words: "You mean that Qian Sen and Shan Lei are in the same place, how can it be ......?"

Sun Yu wanted to see even a little denial in Mu Ming's eyes, but he was going to be disappointed after all.

"Each general has a different way of leading his troops, either good at attacking or defending, and even if two kinds of generals who are good at attacking or defending, there is a clear difference in combat, and the more than 30,000 soldiers who have just attacked have two different combat styles, so I think they have joined forces. ”

Sun Yu himself also led the troops, and he naturally knew what Mu Ming said, so he immediately thought back to the battle just now, and believed most of what Mu Ming said.

"If the army has been united, why only 30,000 people attack. As if to convince himself, Sun Yu asked the only doubt in his heart. After all, if they really joined forces, even if they retreated to Yicheng, they would have no hope.

Mu Ming said: "The enemy army borrowed the jungle, the original intention was to take us by surprise, and they should use the most elite troops, but they only sent 30,000 people to attack, I think, either the two of them will not be in harmony, or they have other plans." And even with 30,000 men, they had every chance of defeating us, but in the end they withdrew their troops, and to be honest, I don't know what the point of them doing this is. ”

In terms of combat effectiveness, both sides are not easy to give, short-handed, fighting more momentum, relatively speaking, Sun Yu they are still trapped in the beast, the momentum is still above the enemy, but at the beginning of the round of arrow rain, many brothers are damaged, injured and injured, combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, plus the number of people is not in the advantage, as long as you are willing to spend blood, it is not a big problem to defeat your own side.

This is also the reason why Mu Ming wants to retreat to Yicheng, where the space is empty, there are only a few wooden fences, there is no way to resist the enemy army, and the hand-to-hand combat has taken advantage of the disadvantage.

Sun Yu was silent, Mu Ming's words completely shattered his last illusion, the enemy army has been united, this seems to be an indisputable fact.

"Sir, retreat to Yicheng, is there any salvation?"

Mu Ming smiled bitterly: "No." The only thing they do is to consume more of their troops. ”

"What's the point of retreating or not retreating, sir, the city lord has already left in advance, and your alliance with him is also invalid, you better leave first!"

Mu Ming's purpose here was not for the alliance made by the dead wood, but for these two universal forces, and now the two tens of thousands of people have fought a vicious battle, losing more than half, plus the seriously injured, it is not enough for the number of 10,000, and the enemies are around, retreating at this time seems to be the best plan.

But Mu Ming didn't plan to leave just yet, or rather, he wanted to leave with Sun Yu. But Sun Yu is very complicated, he needs strength, he needs the strength to be able to save his sister, but he is not the kind of person who does not break his hands for the sake of the purpose, in the process of seeking strength, he became a general, and he is a good general.

Sister is still his obsession, but the brothers have also become his unabandonable part, so the enemy attacked, when he learned that the gap between the two sides was huge, he immediately thought of surrendering, which is the best way for Shuangquan, not only to ensure that his strength is not damaged, but also to prevent his brother from being harmed.

But the enemy's sudden attack, he didn't even have a chance to surrender, and his brother lost more than half, can he really say the surrender?

"Your sister is still waiting for you, so, if there is hope, General Sun, please don't give up. Mu Ming had to comfort.

The soldiers around them, coming and going, regardless of their grief, displayed the bodies of their comrades together, either silently or dazedly, they seemed to know what they were going to face next, and perhaps soon, they would have to let someone else carry them.

In such an unprecedentedly cold atmosphere, Sun Yu looked at Mu Ming and said, "Didn't Mr. say it too? Even if you retreat to Yicheng, there is no hope." ”

Mu meditated for a while and said, "Actually, it's not hopeless, Yicheng is also a city, and it's much easier to use the city to resist the enemy." ”

"The enemy is a hundred thousand people. "It's as if the roles have been reversed.

Mu Ming: "As long as the army and the people are united, and there seems to be discord within the enemy, there is no chance." ”

Sun Yu is still not optimistic: "As soon as the dead wood returns to the city, I am afraid that everyone will have been tricked into fleeing, sir, has you ever thought about it? The Yicheng that we retreated to has become an empty city at this time." ”

When Mu Ming heard this name, he instantly smiled: "He won't go back." ”

Rui Tong's third brother once said that Chief Jin had a secret meeting with someone, and Mu Ming suspected that Wolf Mountain was the hiding place of Dead Wood, if he was not mistaken, Dead Wood and Chief Jin at this time were probably on the way to Wolf Mountain, that is, where Sun Yu's sister was imprisoned.

But these, Mu Ming can't tell Sun Yu, he has a special identity, and he has recently established a little good relationship with Sun Yu, if he says that Deadwood has something to do with Wolf Mountain, maybe Sun Yu thinks that Mu Ming is deliberately slandering Deadwood.

It is much better to let Sun Yu personally witness the close relationship between Deadwood and Wolf Mountain than to say it from his own mouth, anyway, according to the current situation, Deadwood's power will not be hidden for long.

Even if the dead wood still chooses to hide, Mu Ming will find a way to expose his power in Wolf Mountain, Mu Ming has always had to endure being a fisherman.

Maybe it was Mu Ming's words that moved Sun Yu, or maybe in Sun Yu's opinion, it was no difference whether to retreat or not to defend Yicheng, in short, in the end, Sun Yu still agreed.

But the strong enemy is waiting, and it is not so easy to retreat, although I don't know why they withdrew their troops when they had the advantage, but if Mu Ming and Ruitong retreated with a swagger, maybe the enemy would pour out.

So Mu Ming chose the time at dusk.

Since ancient times, there is an unwritten rule in war, both sides see the battle, each has dead and wounded, if both sides are there, the corpse of the soldier killed in the battle must be returned to the other side for placement, if one side is dead and wounded, the winning side must also bury the enemy before death.

Generally speaking, this unwritten rule will be well enforced, unless you really meet those very violent generals, because in troubled times, no one can guarantee that the next person to fall is not themselves, but people always hope that they can have a good place to return after death.

At dusk, it was the time when Mu Ming and Sun Yu decided to return the bodies of the enemy soldiers.
