Chapter 949

Moreover, it now seemed that Beigong Boyu was deliberately luring them here.

This meant that from the very beginning, Beigong Boyu had been planning this.

These ten thousand men and horses had been lying in ambush here for at least half a month.

Half a month—how much food must these ten thousand men and horses have eaten?

For their mere eight hundred men, was it worth it?

Watching the ten thousand ambush troops galloping toward them from the front, Zhang Liao's expression did not change.

"A mere ten thousand!"

Zhang Liao roared: "Eight hundred against ten thousand, the advantage is with me! Give me..."

"Charge into the city!"

Tian Tong, following beside Zhang Liao, was startled; it was only after Zhang Liao finished speaking that his soul returned.

He thought Zhang Liao was going to order a charge against these ten thousand men.

They had been pursuing for more than half a month, especially these past few days; they were already exhausted, and their horses were worn out, having reached their limit.

To charge against ten thousand men at this time would be no different from throwing their lives away.

Although they were well-equipped and had armor, they couldn't withstand the enemy's superior numbers.

Fortunately... fortunately, it was to charge into the city, not to fight head-on.

Turning back to run at this time would certainly not be faster than the enemy; the enemy was rested and waiting, while they had traveled a long distance.

Entering the city and defending it was the best choice.

While charging toward the abandoned Wuwei City, Zhang Liao looked at Tian Tong beside him.

"Tian Tong, you immediately take ten cavalrymen and escort Old General Xia to retreat and seek reinforcements." Zhang Liao said decisively.

Tian Tong nodded.

But before Tian Tong could call out to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu spoke first.

"General Zhang, although I am old, I can still kill enemies." Xia Yu said with a resolute face: "Coming with General Zhang this time, this old man never intended to return alive."

"To die on the battlefield is this old man's best final destination; I ask General Zhang to grant this!"

Zhang Liao turned his head to look at Xia Yu's resolute expression, knowing he could no longer persuade him.

"Good!"

Zhang Liao laughed and said: "With the Old General for company, even if we die here, we won't be lonely!"

"Tian Tong, take the troops back to seek reinforcements; this general will defend this Wuwei City to the death with the Old General!"

Tian Tong did not linger.

Because he knew that only reinforcements could save Zhang Liao.

So, after Zhang Liao gave the order, he immediately turned his horse's head.

On the other side, those cavalrymen coming head-on seemed to deliberately let Zhang Liao into the city.

They came from both sides to surround the eight hundred cavalry led by Zhang Liao, not charging head-on.

The two sides seemed as if they had agreed upon it.

One side wanted to drive the other into the city.

And the other side wanted to enter the city quickly.

This incredibly tacit scene was as if it had been rehearsed beforehand.
