But who knew that after fighting with the Tatar cavalry for a while, the other side withdrew, which was completely different from Tong Gu's expectations.
The other captains and generals were already resentful about this.
The troops originally expected to come to the rescue were just over 500 cavalrymen.
It would be fine if we had few people, but we could only charge into the city. At least we brought information from outside Weizhou and hope to tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Weizhou.
However, although this cavalry killed a lot of Tatar cavalry, it boosted the morale of the soldiers on the city wall of Weizhou.
But they only came for a short while and then left.
"Master Tong, what exactly does this reinforcement mean?"
"I'm afraid that the newly appointed Captain Pinglu wouldn't dare to come!"
"He just sent a cavalry unit to show off. We have to rely on ourselves to repel the Tartar cavalry outside the city!"
"How can we rely on it? Even if the troops surrounding the city weren't seven thousand Tartar cavalry, they would be enough to give us a hard time if they were all infantry."

Unfortunately, half of the soldiers were killed or wounded, which had a great impact on the soldiers in Hedong Road and their morale remained low.

Everyone was shocked by this and realized that their remarks were inappropriate, so they immediately kept silent.
"You are all short-sighted. The fact that these 500 cavalrymen appeared outside of Weizhou City means that the Tartar blockade on Feihu Ridge has been broken."
"No matter how the captain plans to deploy his troops, we must not make any rash comments. We must just defend our city."
Tong Gu said seriously.
Everyone's face was stern and they were silent.
At this time, a general dressed as a scout commander ran in hurriedly and whispered to Tong Gu.
Tong Gu's eyes flashed, and he immediately looked at everyone with a sharp gaze: "Everyone, listen carefully, the captain ordered us..."
