Feng Xiu said: "What we have to do has actually been done. We used this small force to hold off 100,000 people in Lou Fan for more than ten days, which is good enough."

Lin Ye: "I know."

Feng Xiu said: "We are withdrawing now and returning to Caoshu City. Even if the emperor knows about it in the future, he cannot blame us for this. Our food and supplies are almost exhausted, and the same is true for weapons and armor..."

Lin Ye: "Are you trying to convince me, or are you trying to convince yourself?"

Feng Xiu sighed.

After a moment, he shook his head: "I can't even convince myself."

Lin Ye pointed to the bottom of the valley: "We didn't have time before. Now we have at least about ten days to try to completely block the canyon. As for food supplies, we will assign people to hunt and save as much as we can."

Feng Xiu nodded: "I'll arrange for someone to go."

The two of them stopped talking and were silent for a long time.

"Our soldiers will come."

After a long time, Feng Xiu suddenly asked.

Wu Lingwei still has about 7,000 troops in Yuan Qingze's hands. Even if Yuan Qingze doesn't let the border troops come over, he may call over Wu Lingwei's remaining troops.

Lin Ye didn't answer.

Without answering, Feng Xiu knew what it meant.

Yuan Qingze is a qualified general. He will not assign a full force of 7,000 troops here. No matter whether it can be accommodated here or not, Yuan Qingze will not do that.

He wanted to fight in Hanhai City.

If the Loufan people are unable to break through Hanhai and retreat again, with the morale of the army shattered, Yuan Qing will look for opportunities to counterattack.

Moreover, those seven thousand men had no horses, so the possibility of them bypassing Lou Fan's army on foot was slim.

If seven thousand infantrymen were overtaken by Lou Fan's cavalry in the wilderness, they might not be able to hold out for even an hour before they would be slaughtered.

Of course, these are just speculations by Lin Ye and Feng Xiu. How Yuan Qingze wants to fight, who can be sure except himself.

"We still have 1,600 people."

Feng Xiu lowered his head and said: "Three thousand five hundred brothers, and one thousand six more, have been guarding for more than ten days. If the Loufan people come back, with more than a thousand of us, we probably won't be able to guard the next ten days."

Lin Ye took a deep breath.

"If you can't hold it, retreat north."

Lin Ye glanced north.

Feng Xiu said: "Withdraw to the north and out of the canyon, they will all be Loufan people."

Lin Ye: "I know, I didn't tell you about the canyon."

He said: "In ten days, if the Loufan people come back, we will hold on for another ten days. If we block the Loufan people here for a month, their plan will fail."

Feng Xiu nodded: "Okay."

At the same time, Hanhai City.

Yuan Qing then arranged for people to arrange all the defense matters, then turned around and asked, "Have you seen General Hong?"

The soldiers all around shook their heads.

At this moment, someone hurriedly ran up the city wall.

"General Yuan and General Hong took Wu Lingwei's seven thousand troops and left the city."

Yuan Qing's expression changed.

This Hongwu settler actually left his 30,000 frontier troops here and took Wu Lingwei's 7,000 men away.

"Nonsense!"

Yuan Qingze's eyes suddenly widened.

"Send someone to chase him!"

he shouted loudly.

But the border army generals all around stood still.

Yuan Qingze asked angrily: "What's going on with you?!"

One of the generals said: "Our General Hong said, let us stay here and listen to General Yuan's orders. He went to support General Lin. General Hong also said that we are both Dayu soldiers and brothers, so he can't do anything without saving lives."

"

Yuan Qingze's eyes were cold and awe-inspiring.

Another general said: "General Hong said that he will bring the seven thousand Wu Lingwei over. General Yuan will not have to worry about it, and there is no need to pursue it. Hanhai City and the border troops will be left to you, General Yuan."

After a long time, the coldness in Yuan Qingze's eyes gradually dissipated.

He sighed heavily.

"knew."
